Part Ⅱ Cloze Directions:There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be game of some kind, football, hockey, or tennis. It may be mountaineering. These who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often 1 with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to 2 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 3 which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 4 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 5 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own 6 . If we 7 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 8 mountaineering is not a "team work". However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no "matches" 9 "teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 10 , obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 11 that are stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 12 qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not 13 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 14 than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less 15 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, sit," it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

Passage 3 As we know, if we want to keep us healthy and have a strong body, our eating habits are very important in our daily life. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Actually, sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. Meanwhile, it is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it shows that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn't telling the truth. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. He loses his appetite and does not want to eat anything if he is worrying something.
1. We have to develop good eating habits because ______.
A.we want to be healthy and strong
B.we want to enjoy our food
C.we want to eat more
D.we want to save time
A B C D
A
2. ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.
A.Either meat or rice
B.Neither sweets nor ice cream
C.Not only meat but also rice
D.Both sweets and ice cream
A B C D
D
3. We had better have our meals ______.
A.when our work is over
B.at the same time each day
C.when the meal is still hot
D.when we go back home
A B C D
B
4. A man who is angry has ______.
A.a better appetite
B.to eat more food
C.a poor appetite
D.to eat nothing
A B C D
C
5. The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he didn't tell a truth.

D.hardly swallow dry bread
A B C D
D
Passage 4 There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson's is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-condition comfort. For all these, we pay a little extra. It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslovakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars. I then went on to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops. I then asked about its price, and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars for it. "How much can you offer?" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude. I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop. A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is beyond what he can afford, he shrugs (耸肩) his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper. Even if he showed annoyance or surprise, he would expect to be to that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elsewhere.
1. The underlined word "haggling" (Line 2, Para. 1) in the text most probably means ______.
A.accepting the prices immediately
B.fixing the right cost for some goods
C.arguing about the price of something
D.paying extra for comfortable shopping
A B C D
C
2. We can learn from the text that Robinson's is a store which sells ______.
A.expensive goods
B.air-conditioners
C.Czechoslovakian goods
D.goods at a bargain price
A B C D
A
3. The writer asked about the price of a glass butter-dish in Change Alley because he wanted to ______.
A.buy it at a lower price
B.change his dish for something else
C.find out if the shop assistant is polite
D.compare the prices of the dish in two stores
A B C D
D
4. Which of the following words best describes the feeling of a British customer when "he shrugs his shoulders and walks away" (Line 3, Para. 3)?
A.Frightened.
B.Worded.
C.Annoyed.
D.Disappointed.
A B C D
D
5. What would probably happen if a customer does bargain with a shopkeeper in England?
A.The customer would be advised to shop in other stores.
B.The customer would get the goods at a lower price.
C.They would discuss and then reach an agreement.
D.They would quarrel about the price of the goods.

After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.

The credit card number is 5431 7602 2578 4849. I have had an Apex card since 2000. This card is valid(有效的) from August 2009 to August 2011. I lost the card yesterday at about 8:30 in the evening. The only case I used the card yesterday was to buy three dictionaries at the Dillon's Bookstore in Oxford Street. By accident, I left the card at the shop. When I realized what I had done, I telephoned the shop, but the shop assistants there could not find the card. Could you please cancel my card immediately and make the necessary arrangements to issue a replacement card to me? I can be contacted at the telephone number of 347-4587-9856. Thank you for your assistance.
Yours faithfully, Paul Anderson

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 1 If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? 2 Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). This is what psychologists tell us. They tell us, among other facts, that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference. 3 If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 4 Colors do influence our moods; there is no doubt about it. 5 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area. 6 Until it was repainted green, the number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
1.
倘若如此，你一定是一个乐观的人、一个领导者、一个活跃的喜欢生活、人们和刺激的人。
2.
那么，你很可能缄默、羞怯，你宁愿随从而不愿领先，你可能是个悲观主义者。
3.
假设你碰巧喜欢褐色，那么自从你一睁眼，或至少当你可以清楚地看见时，你就喜欢这个颜色了。
4.
色彩的确影响我们的情绪，这是毫无疑问的。
5.
一间黄色的房间比一间深绿色的更能让人感到愉悦放松。
6.
后来桥被重新漆成绿色；自杀的人数立刻骤减。
