Section A Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure state, and the behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any advantage point. Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture. One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology. Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advance, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts. The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?______
A.The Limitations of Meteorological Forecasting.
B.New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology.
C.Approaches to the Science of Meteorology.
D.The Basis of Dynamic Meteorology.

[解析] 文章第三段第一句提到，“Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams”，即天气学是借助气象图和高空气象图的绘制与分析来预测天气的技术科学基础。故天气学家的预测应当是以B项“气象图的绘制和分析”为依据的。
3. Which of the following is NOT referred to by the author as a field whose needs are ______ served by weather forecasting?
A.transportation
B.manufacturing
C.farming
D.sports
A B C D
D
[解析] 文章第三段第三句话提到天气学的应用领域有“In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry”。其中shipping和aviation对应A项transportation，agricultural对应C项farming。industry对应B项manufacturing。只有D项未提及，为正确答案。
4. The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to ______.
A.more funds allocated to meteorological research

Passage Two The potential of computers for increasing the control of organizations or society over their members and for invading the privacy of those members has caused considerable concern. The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to the creation and maintenance of data files that assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources. Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of economic and social research, but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance the opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom. Making the computer the villain in the invasion of privacy or encroachment on civil liberties simply diverts attention from the real dangers. Computer data banks can and must be given the highest degree of protection from abuse. But we must be careful, also, that we do not employ such crude methods of protection as to deprive our society of important data it needs to understand its own social processes and to analyze its problems. Perhaps the most important question of all about the computer is what it has done and will do to man's view of himself and his place in the universe. The most heated attacks on the computer are not focused on its possible economic effects, its presumed destruction of job satisfaction, or its threat to privacy and liberty, but upon the claim that it causes people to be viewed, and to view themselves, as machines. What the computer and the progress in artificial intelligence challenge is an ethic that rests on man's apartness from the rest of nature. An alternative ethic, of course, views man as a part of nature, governed by natural law, subject to the forces of gravity and the demands of his body. The debate about artificial intelligence and the simulation of man's thinking is, in considerable part, a confrontation of these two views of man's place in the universe.
1. Why is it important to prevent the abuse of computer data banks?______
A.To protect the rights of the individual.
B.To maintain discipline in society.
C.To encourage economic and social research.
D.To collect wide-ranging information.
A B C D
A
[解析] 从第二段中的“but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance their opportunities of blackmailers”可知，防止计算机数据库被滥用是基于对“human freedom”的考虑，即保护个人权利(right of the individual)。因此，A项为正确答案。
2. Too much caution in the use of computers will ______.
A.prevent the solution of economic problems
B.cause more suppression of human freedom
C.lead to clumsy methods of protection
D.interfere with our study of society
A B C D
D
[解析] 文章第三段最后一句提到“But we must be careful also ...”，过分的保护会“deprive our society of important data it needs to understand its own social processes and to analyze its problems”，即我们不能获取有关社会进程和问题的有效数据，也就是“干预到我们对社会的研究”，故D项正确。
3. What lessons can be learned from the past in this debate?______
A.Crime has always been associated with progress.
B.Attacks on freedom are nothing new.
C.The accumulation of data encourages oppression.
D.Privacy has been a neglected issue.
A B C D
B
[解析] 第二段最后一句提到“... it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom.”，过去没有搜集有关个人的综合性的资料库，也都不乏对人身自由的压抑。言外之意，对人身自由的压制是一直都存在的问题。B项正确。
4. The arrival of the computer has made man ______.
A.have more difficulty understanding himself
B.think more like a machine
C.look at himself in a different way
D.gain less satisfaction from his work
A B C D
C
[解析] 文章第四段提到“The most heated attacks on the computer ... but upon the claim that it causes people to be viewed, and to view themselves, as machines.”即计算机带来的最大改变是使人类把他们自己看做是machines，因此C项为正确答案。
5. If you had to split this passage into two sections, where would be the best place to make the division?______
Passage Three Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various network of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another, and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be. Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf(现成的) PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient's vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit(急救包), the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past. Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise. But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world—CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence. Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in(迎来) an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.
1. The basis of remote diagnosis will be ______.
A.standardized symptoms of a patient
B.personal data assistance
C.transmitted complex medical images
D.real physiological data from a patient
A B C D
D
[解析] 第二段第二句明确提到“Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient.”因此D项是正确答案。
2. The sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past” means ______.
A.now people probably would not ask if there is a doctor in the house
B.patients used to cry and ask if there was a doctor in the house
C.in the past people often cried and asked if there was a doctor in the house
D.patients are now still asking if there is a doctor in the house
A B C D
A
[解析] a thing of the past是过去的事情。“问房间内是否有医生”很有可能将成为过去的事，即现在的人很可能不会再这样问了。
3. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
A.it is now feasible to transmit a patient's vital signs over telephone
B.flood is not among the disasters mentioned in the passage
C.the trend in applying telemedicine is toward providing global access to medical data
D.telemedicine is being used by many medical teams as a tool for disaster response
A B C D
D
[解析] 第三段提到“And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes.”至少有一组人想用远距离医学作为应对灾难的工具——特别是地震过后。“at least one”与“many”说法相悖，所以D项说法错误。
4. The word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that ______.
A.there are not enough mobile phones for distributing medical intelligence
B.CT scans are one of the biggest bandwidth consumers
C.bandwidth is not adequate to transmit complex medical images around the world
D.communications satellites can only cope with the short-term needs during disasters
A B C D
C
[解析] problem后面的话就是对problem的解释，“Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world ...”。limiting factor限制因素。带宽是传输复杂的医学图像的限制因素，即带宽不能满足需要。adequate能满足需要(量)的，胜任的。
5. A proper title for the passage may be ______.
A.Improvement in Communications
B.The Online Doctor Is In
C.Application of Telemedicine
D.How to Make Remote Diagnosis
A B C D
B
[解析] 首段提出可将网络用于医学，接下来讲述了“online doctors”“telemedicine”等，最后提出“... the new technologies should usher in an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.”，新科技将迎来一个远距离医学普遍应用，医学信息、专家意见和诊断普遍共享的新时代。A项是网络医学发展的前提，C、D项概括不全面。
Passage Four Most people think of lions as strictly African beasts, but only because they're been killed off almost everywhere else. Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sections of the globe. Now lions hold only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies that split from African lions perhaps 100,000 years ago, hang on to an almost impossibly small slice of their former territory. India is the proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which live primarily in a 560-square-mile sanctuary(保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to explore the entire Gir Forest—and no time at all to see why these lions became symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a lion stands its ground, curious and unafraid—lionhearted. Though they told me in subtle ways when I got too close, Gir's lions allowed me unique glimpses into their lives during my three months in the forest. It's odd to think that they are threatened by extinction; Gir has as many lions as it can hold—too many, in fact. With territory in short supply, lions move about near the boundary of the forest and even leave it altogether, often clashing with people. That's one reason India is creating a second sanctuary. There are other pressing reasons: outbreaks of disease or natural disasters. In 1994 a serious disease killed more than a third of Africa's Serengeti lions—a thousand animals, a fate that could easily happen to Gir's cats. These lions are especially vulnerable to disease because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals. "If you do a DNA test, Asiatic lions actually look like identical twins," says Stephen O'Brien, a geneticist(科学家) who has studied them. Yet the dangers are hidden, and you wouldn't suspect them by watching these lords of the forest. The lions display vitality, and no small measure of charm. Though the gentle intimacy of play vanishes when it's time to eat, meals in Gir are not necessarily frantic affairs. For a mother and her baby lion sharing a deer, or a young male eating an antelope(羚羊), there's no need to fight for a cut of the kill. The animals they hunt for food are generally smaller in Gir than those in Africa, and hunting groups tend to be smaller as well.
1. In the first paragraph, the author tells us that Asiatic lions ______.
A.have killed off other lions
B.have descended from African lions
C.used to span vast sections of the globe
D.have lost their habitat
A B C D
B
[解析] 第一段提到“Asiatic lions, a subspecies that split from African lions”，亚洲狮是从非洲狮中分离出来的一个亚种，因此B项说法正确。descend from是……的后裔。
2. What impressed the author most when he went to watch the lions in the Gir Forest?______
A.Their friendliness.
B.Their size.
C.Their intimacy.
D.Their vitality.
A B C D
B
[解析] 第二段提到作者对吉尔森林的狮子的印象是“curious and unafraid—lionhearted(好奇但不畏惧——勇猛的)”以及“It's odd to think that they are threatened by extinction; Gir has as many lions as it can hold—too many, in fact.(认为它们面临绝种的危险的想法是很奇怪的，因为这里有太多的狮子了)”。因此B项正确。size有“数量，数目”的意思。intimacy亲密，熟悉。vitality活力，生命力。
3. What does the sentence "... meals in Gir are not necessarily frantic affair" mean?______
A.The lions do not show intimacy among them any more.
B.The lions may not need to fight for food.
C.Food is not readily available in that region.
D.Meals can be obtained only with great effort.
A B C D
B
[解析] 最后一段提到“there's no need to fight for a cut of the kill”，没有必要为分一块猎物而争斗，这与B项说法相符。kill(被杀死的)猎获物。cut一块。frantic疯狂的，狂乱的。
4. The lions in the Gir Forest are especially vulnerable to disease because ______.
A.they have descended from a dozen or so ancestors
B.they are smaller than the African lions
C.they do not have enough to eat
D.they are physically weaker than the African lions
A B C D
A
[解析] 第二段提到“These lions are especially vulnerable to disease because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals.”即这些狮子特别容易得病，因为它们是仅从十几头狮子繁衍而来，这暗含了它们近亲繁殖。A项是本句话的同义描述。
5. One of the reasons why India is creating a secondary sanctuary for the Asiatic lions is that ______.
A.the present sanctuary is not large enough
B.scientists want to do more research on them
C.they have killed many people
D.the forest is shrinking in size
A B C D
A
[解析] 第二段提到“With territory in short supply,... That's one reason India is creating a second sanctuary.”由于土地供应不足，狮子在森林边缘活动甚至成群结队地离开森林并经常和人类相遇，这是印度建立第二个自然保护地的原因之一。因此A项“现有的自然保护区不够大”是正确答案。
Section B Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. "Years ago, a friend of mine observed that 80 percent of the people in this country have too much self-esteem and 20 percent have much too little. That struck me as pretty accurate, but psychologists will tell you that self-esteem is not a constant. People's appraisal of their own worth varies ... I have the impression that more people have unstable self-esteem than before. I say this because some of the traditional standards people used to measure their own worth have eroded (middle class respectability), whereas more people now seem to measure themselves against celebrities and superstars. It would be interesting to know if anybody has studied changes in the criteria we use to measure self-worth." Comment 1 You bring up an interesting point because I do believe values and beliefs have changed. It would be very interesting to see the criteria used for self-worth. I find it hard to believe that only 20% of people have low self-esteem. I've been following Brene Brown's thoughts on the subject of self-worth, and low self-worth (on some level) seems much more common. Comment 2 If the quality of one's self-esteem is going to be judged by comparisons with those who are celebrities and superstars, then the entire exercise is really pointless. Comment 3 Self-esteem solution: A happy marriage. Comment 4 Ego (self-worth) is proportionate to wealth. The more wealth, the more self-worth. Comment 5 Benjamin Franklin said it best, and it applies to all facets of life. "Contentment will make a poor man rich just as discontent will make a rich man poor." It does not mean not try to do your best, or be the richest. It simply means once you've done your best be content with yourself, just as if you don't give your best effort discontent is sure to follow. Comment 6 I've “retired” from 30 years of expensive, if interesting, "personal growth" and "self-improvement", much probably motivated by trying to "fix" myself. Hanging out with friends at a local cafe is way more satisfying. Comment 7 A related concept you may be interested in is the "sociometer theory" of self-esteem, pioneered by Mark Leary (Wake Forest). Basically it states that our self-esteem is determined by the amount of perceived social acceptance/ rejection, and that determination is full of cognitive biases and errors. Awesome stuff.
1. The main idea of the quoted blog is that ______.
A.most people in the country have too much self-esteem
B.it is urgent to help those who have too little self-esteem
C.the criteria for people to measure their self-worth are changing
D.the traditional standards make people feel unstable
3. What all the commentators try to respond to in their writing is ______.
A.the respect for the traditional values
B.the standards of self-worth measurement
C.marriage, celebrities and social activities
D.ego, contentment and social judgment
A B C D
B
[解析] 评论1中提出“the criteria used for self-worth”；评论2中出现了“self-esteem is going to be judged by”；评论4中讲述了“The more wealth，the more self-worth”；评论7中解释了“our self-esteem is determined by”；从大多数评论中出现的这些信息我们可以归纳出，评论人员在他们的评论中想要表达的是自尊的衡量标准，故B项为正确答案。
4. Why does the writer of Comment 5 try to clarify Benjamin Franklin's saying?______
A.Because Franklin's saying is universally applicable.
B.Because contentment means “rich” and discontent means “poor.”
C.Because if you do your best, you will be the richest.
D.Because misunderstandings might occur of Franklin's saying.
5. What is the writer's attitude toward the "sociometer theory" in Comment 7?______
A.Affirmative.
B.Objective.
C.Detached.
D.Negative.
A B C D
D
[解析] 根据评论7中的“that determination is full of cognitive biases and errors”，即这个决定因素充满了认知偏差和错误”，由此可知，作者对“计量社会学理论”的态度是否定的，认为里面有错误和偏差，故D项为正确答案。

Paper Two
Part Ⅵ Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
1. Municipal sewage is of relatively recent origin as a pollutant. It was first brought to public attention in the 19th century by a London physician who showed that the city's cholera outbreak had been caused by just one contaminated well. Even though the contamination of drinking water by disease germs has been nearly eliminated in this country, hundreds of communities are still discharging raw sewage into streams and rivers. The problem of municipal sewage disposal is complicated by the fact that, years ago, most cities combined their storm and waste disposal sewers. Many of these combined systems work well, but others cannot cope with sudden heavy rains. When such storms occur, water mixed with sewage may flood and disable treatment plants unless bypassed, untreated, into a stream. In either case, the people may have little protection for several days from these wastes that may contain disease germs.
1. Directions: Write a composition of no less than 150 words under the title of "What will money bring us, fortune or misfortune?" Your composition should be based on the following story given in Chinese. Give at least two reasons to support your choice. Write your composition on the ANSWER SHEET.
What will money bring us, fortune or misfortune? Some say money will bring us misfortune, just as the middle- aged man who died in a fire because he went back into the fire to get the money. He could have escaped the death had he not crawled back into the fire for money. Yet others say money will bring us fortune because with money we can do almost anything, just as the proverb goes, "Money makes the mare go". According to my experience and observation, I insist that money will bring us misfortune. First of all, because money can buy almost anything, many people, if they can't make enough money through legal means, turn to illegal ways to make instant and huge sum of money to satisfy their own needs. And that's why there are so many crimes such as robbery, theft, handicapping, etc. Secondly, even a small amount of money can become the source of argument and fight, which is harmful to human relationship. It's said that even blood brothers should be clear of their own money and don't mix it up. Otherwise quarrel and fight may follow. In short, money will bring us misfortune.
