[听力原文] In America, where labor costs are so high, do-it-yourself is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars, build their own garages and even rebuild their own houses. Soon many of them will also be writing their own books. In Hollywood, there is a company that publishes children's books with the help of computers. Although other book companies also publish that way, this company is not like others. It allows the reader to become the leading character in the stories with the help of computers. Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Jennie. She lives in New York and has a dog named Hoody. The computer uses this information to make up a story with pictures. The story is then printed up. A child who receives such a book, might say, "This book is about me". So the company calls itself the Me-Books Publishing Company. Children like "me-books", because they like to see and print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, in this way, readers are much more interested in reading the stories. "Me-books" are helping children to learn how to read.
Q: Why do Americans do things themselves?

[听力原文] When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. When you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, you again find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere. In the west, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. The government does not give money to mass media, such as TV stations, newspapers, magazines and radio stations. They are all owned privately. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses. Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? During the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time, it was felt that advertising was the means of keeping your name before the public. And some people thought that advertising was "truth well told". Now more and more people describe it in this way. Advertising is the paid, non-personal and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas through various media.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements for each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts. I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn't even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies. She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten backs but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?
1. In the writer's opinion, school life is usually ______.
A.it is easy to find great artists as well as good teachers
B.there are fewer great teachers but many great artists
C.the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachers
D.being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge
A B C D
C
细节题。从第二段第一句I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists.得知好老师就是好艺术家，而且两者都不多。
3. In the writer's opinion, a good teacher should ______.
A.teach students the fundamental things
B.stick to one subject and be strict with students
C.teach students the knowledge ranging the world
D.arouse students' curiosity and desire to know the world
A B C D
D
细节题。从文章第三段可以看出三位老师的共同点，1. They all loved what they were doing. 2. They catalyzed a burning desire to know.第一点是他们都爱他们的事业，第二点是他们都是潜移默化地激发学生学习的欲望。答案D符合第二个共同点。
4. The writer's first teacher was dismissed mainly because ______.
A.her class was the noisiest in school
B.she did not teach basic knowledge in class
C.she let the students shout and wave books in class
D.she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively
A B C D
B
细节题。最后一段的第一句话She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals.可以解答这个问题。
5. What is the best title of this article?
A.The Teachers in My Life
B.How to Become A Teacher
C.What to teach at School
D.What Makes A Good Teacher
A B C D
D
主旨题。全篇讲的是好老师可遇而不可求，作者提到对自己影响深刻的三位老师，并对这三位老师的共同特点做了总结。并在文章的最后两段指出好老师要激发孩子的求知欲。所以D. What Makes A Good Teacher“好老师的素质”最能概括整篇短文的大意。
Passage Two According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion, positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy. Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.
1. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something ______.
A.one feels in danger
B.one faces in the outside world
C.one thinks bad or good
D.one tries to escape from real life
A B C D
C
细节题。由emotion is created定位到第一段的第一句an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good.当人或动物对事物有坏的或好的评价时，emotion就产生了，所以C是正确答案。
2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Babies are born with emotions.
B.Emotions fall into two types in general.
C.Children learn emotions as they grow up.
D.People learn to cope with the negative emotions in life as they grow up.
A B C D
A
细节题。从第二段第二句话Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions.可以看出，许多心理学家认为孩子刚生下来是没有情感的，所以A不正确。第三段第一句说明B正确。第二段第三句说明C正确。第三段最后一句说明D正确。
3. The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
Passage Three Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and "writing". In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer". The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
1. The word "prospects" (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.
A.rich resources
B.reasonable hopes
C.strong desires
D.enormous advantages
A B C D
B
细节题。从第二段的第二句For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.可以看出，成为成功的作家的概率只有几千分之一，所以当作者离开美国海岸警卫队想成为自由作家时，几乎没有什么希望。因此B符合题意。
2. The writer mentions his 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard in order to show ______.
A.his regret at leaving the army
B.his determination to realize his dream
C.his disappointment with the army life
D.his excitement with the new life in the big city
A B C D
B
推理题。当初作者离开工作了20年的部队，放弃了稳定的职业和收入，是为了表明他从事写作的坚定决心。
3. The writer would use all the following words to describe his life as a writer except ______.
A.failure
B.loneliness
C.wealth
D.hard work
A B C D
C
细节题。第一段第三句和第四句提到，如果你是为了wealth and fame致富或出名而想成为作家，那么I say to them，“not want to be a writer”我建议他们放弃这一想法。第二段第一句也说写作poor-paying affair是一件收入很低的活儿。第三段第二句也说，我从事写作初期，I barely made enough to eat几乎喂不饱自己。可见写作与wealth财富无关。故选项C符合题意。
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.One may become a writer if he loves writing.
B.One may become a writer if he keeps on writing.
C.One will surely become a writer if he works hard.
D.One will surely become a writer if he learns to write.
A B C D
A
全局题，作者提到很多年轻人对作者说他们想当作家，他在鼓励年轻人的同时也向他们说明“当作家”和写作的区别是很大的。作者提到，自己在辞职从事写作的初期，就遇到种种挫折，然而我清楚I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for year's.作者用自己的经历告诉年轻人，只要有梦想，有写作的欲望，坚持下去，就有成为作家的可能。
5. Who do you think most likely wrote this passage?
Section B Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

People in places far from TV stations shared the 6 of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly 7 . CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found 8 it. Local stations could feed programs into 9 channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather reports, and farm and school news at no 10 charge. Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country. A. follow F. special K. money B. into G. empty L. charge C. move H. for M. cost D. regular I. reach N. viewers E. from J. watchers O. extra
1.
N
此处需要一个名词的复数形式。动词allow的用法为allow sb. to do sth.，而从后面的从句主语“they”可以看出，应填写一个复数名词，需要在J和N之间做出选择，看电视的人称之为viewers。
Section A Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Smoking is considered dangerous to the health.

1.
A.passers-by
B.people
C.passengers
D.customers
A B C D
D
Mr. Johnson是一位烟草商人，所以如果顾客很年轻的话，他通常会问一问他们是帮谁买香烟。customers和seller对应，passers-by过路人，passengers乘客。
amount意为“总数，总额”，这里指女孩手中的钱的总额刚好够买一包烟。amount还常用在词组a (great, large) amount of中，表示“大量”，修饰不可数名词。a total of总计，a number of许多，修饰可数名词。a lot of“许多”，既可用于修饰可数名词，也可用于修饰不可数名词。

Section B Directions:In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real contact between people of different nationalities. There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners. It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers. But there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language. First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their education system. Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other's English.
1. Why can we travel more easily nowadays? ______________________________________________
Because of modern methods of transport
根据题干中的关键词travel more easily定位到第一段第二句。thanks to就是Because of的意思。
2. Why is there no real communication between people of different nationalities? ______________________________________________
Because there is not a common language
根据题干中的关键词no real communication定位到第一段最后一句。该句意思是，如果没有共同语言，不同国籍指尖的人们就不能有真正的交流。
3. Which language is spoken by more people than any other language? ______________________________________________
5. Why can't Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other's English? ______________________________________________
Because they speak different dialects of English
根据题干中的Indian teachers and Nigerian students定位到最后一句。印度老师和尼日利亚学生不能明白彼此英语这是个结论，原因要从前文找。从文章最后一段倒数第二句可知，是因为他们不同的英语方言。

Job Choices for New College Graduates
Nowadays, we are living in a world full of opportunity and challenge. College graduates also have more choices than ever before. Some of them choose to be employed, while others choose to start their own businesses. In my point, it is a good way for new college graduates to start their own businesses. There are a few reasons for doing so. First, with the increasing enrollment of universities, it is not easy for college graduates to find a satisfactory job. Second, by starting their own business, they will have the freedom tc do what they want and at their own risk. Last but not least, for those who have just graduated, starting one's own business can mean responsibility and growth. So why not try to start your own businesses? Maybe you will be the next Bill Gates!
