Ⅲ Cloze Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. One of the political issues we hear a lot about lately is campaign finance reform. The people who are calling for 1 usually want the government to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates and their supporters can spend. One reason that reform is 2 for is that it costs so much to run for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 3 money. The incumbents (those already in office) have 4 time to do their jobs since they must attend so many fund raising events. Another 5 is the fear that candidates will be owned or controlled by the "special interest groups" that contribute to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 6 . On the 7 side are those who caution that just because you call something "reform," doesn't mean it's really 8 . They 9 that our fight to freedom of speech is meaningless if the government can limit anyone's ability to get his or her message out to the people. If one person or a group of people want to tell the 10 what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to 11 advertising on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to display billboards along highways and banners on heavily trafficked Web sites. All this 12 a lot of money. Opponents of laws that regulate or limit spending say that you don't really have freedom of speech or freedom of the press if you can't get your message out. They say that in a democracy, the government should never be able to regulate political discussion or the means to distribute ideas. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 13 . What do you think about this issue? Listen to what the 14 for national office have to say. Which candidates make the most 15 to you?
Ⅳ Reading Comprehension Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Every summer in Australia there is the danger of bush fires. Long periods of hot dry weather cause the grass and trees to become highly inflammable. In addition to the dryness and high temperature, another important factor is the great amount of oil in the leaves of such trees as eucalyptus, gum and ti trees. Fires start very easily, often spontaneously(自动地，自发地), but usually because of a carelessly thrown cigarette or match. If there is a high wind, the ample supply of air fans the flames into an inferno. The radiant heat vaporizes the oil in the leaves; and the fire travels very quickly, sometimes overtakes fleeing cars and burns passengers to death. Great fires often occur around Christmas, in areas near big cities, causing great loss of life and property.
1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to great fire danger?
A.Sultry weather.
B.Cigarettes thrown out of car windows.
C.Pine forests.
D.Windstorm.
A B C D
C

A.arsonists set matches to leaves
B.crude oil contacts inflammable objects
C.tourists throw cigarette ends onto refuse dumps
D.trees start burning of themselves

3. Bush fires travel ______.
A.in small way
B.in disorder
C.seriously
D.swiftly
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题属逻辑题。swiftly(快速地)与文章第二段第二句中的“the fires travels very quickly”相对应。in small way以何种方式，in disorder无规律，seriously严重地，均不符。
Your mind like your body is a thing where the powers are developed by effort. This is a principal use, as I see it, of hard work in studies. Unless you train your body you can't be a good sportsman, and unless you train your mind you can't be much of a scholar. The four mi- les a boatman covers at top speed is in itself nothing to the good, but the physical capacity to hold out over the distance is thought to be of some value. So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be retained forever, and may not seem to be of much final value, but your mind is a better and more powerful instrument because you have learned it. "Knowledge is power," but still more the ability of acquiring and using knowledge is power. If you have a trained and powerful mind, you are bound to have stored it with something, its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use, than in what it contains; and if it were possible, as it is not, to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it, you would still be ahead, and still, in a manner, educated.
1. The title that best expresses the main idea of this passage is ______.
A.Knowledge Is Power
B.How to Retain and Use Knowledge
C.Physical and Mental Efforts
D.The Trained Mind Is What One Needs
A B C D
D
2. In his example the author tells his readers that ______.
A.it is important to build up one's physical capacity
B.it is no good having much physical training
C.it is more important to know one's capacity than to win the race
D.it is important to have physical training while one trains his mind
A B C D
C
3. The author emphasizes that many of the facts you acquire by hard study ______.
A.deal with rules of health
B.will be forgotten
C.are of no value
D.will be very useful
A B C D
B
4. The man leaving college with a trained mind ______.
A.is certain to succeed
B.is successful in his studies
C.is considered an educated person
D.can grasp any problem
A B C D
C
Ever since human inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language harrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf and the mute have to use this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the person is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the finger tips), signal flags, Morse code and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
1. Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
B.Everybody uses only one form of communication.
C.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.
D.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题属主旨题。文章第一段讲的是：当口语有障碍时，人们就会通过sign language来交流。第二段主要介绍body language，第三段主要介绍other forms of nonlinguistic language。
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.There are many forms of communication in existence today.
B.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.

4. Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally except for ______.
A.spelling
B.ideas

[解析] 本题属细节题。文章第一段最后一句已明确点明。
Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day. When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Mary needed to slow down from her demanding job. They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. "We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn't match the big chains dollar for dollar," says Mary. One figure caught her attention: She'd read somewhere that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries (推理小说), and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers. On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family's money to start a shop. To cover the $100 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank. The store merely broke even in its first year, with only $120 000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories. Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420 000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34 000. "The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income," says Richard. "This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money."
1. When Mary was in hospital, the couple realized that______.
A.they had to put their plan into practice
B.health was more important than wealth
C.heart trouble was a serious illness
D.they both needed to stop working
A B C D
A
[解题指要] 这道题考查综合判断的能力。答案主要可以从第一、二段得出。在第一段中作者告诉我们，玛丽和她的丈夫喜欢书店，他们很少在经过一家书店的时候不进去看一看的。并且他们经常谈论有一天他们要开自己的书店。第二段中说玛丽因病住院后，他们决定认真考虑这件事了。而且，“玛丽意识到自己必须放慢工作的节奏，不能再做那些令人劳累的工作了”。据此，可以断定A选项“他们不得不实施他们的计划了”为正确选择。Put something into practice的意思是“把……付诸实施”。篇幅较长的应用文，如广告，可采用“逆读法”，先读理解题，从中把握题干与选项所含重要信息。然后，从短文中查找相关内容，快速找到信息点，增强解题的针对性。
2. After Mary got well from her illness they began______.
A.to study industrial management
B.to buy and read more mystery books
C.to do market research on book business
D.to work harder to save money for the bookstore
A B C D
C
[解题指要] 这道题主要考查段意理解能力。第三段的第一句话是：They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry.这句里的researching the industry的意思是“调查研究书店这个行业”。由此不难看出c选项to do market research on book business是正确答案。
3. How did their bookstore do in the first year?
A.They had to borrow money to keep it going.
B.They made just enough to cover all the costs.
C.They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
D.They failed though they worked hard.
A B C D
B
[解题指要] 这道题问“第一年他们的书店经营得如何”。答案要到第五段中去找。The store merely broke even in its first year关键词是broke even，意思是“收支相抵，不盈不亏”。因此 B选项为正确答案。
4. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is______.
A.to pay for their children's education
B.to get to know more writers
C.to set up more bookstores
D.to do what they like to do
A B C D
D
[解题指要] 这个问题的答案建立在对最后一段Richard说的话的理解上。“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million—dollar income.”以及“This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.”go hand in hand with的意思是“与……共同存在”。由此可见，他们开书店的目的是D选项所描述的to do what they like to do，即“做他们想做的事情”。其他选项皆与此意不符。
A warm-hearted nurse on her first day's work came to a patient who had come to London for a visit to the famous doctor. She asked the patient whether there was anything that she could do for him. But he only waved his hand, shook his head and said something she couldn't understand. With a pleasing smile she asked him again and he just kept doing the same and saying the same words, but in about 3 minutes, he closed his eyes. the nurse felt his pulse and found out that the patient had died. The nurse felt so sorry for the poor patient who had ended his llfe very far away from his home that she ran to the doctor in a hurry and repeated to the doctor the sounds she had heard. "My dear girl," said the doctor after listening to what she repeated,"you've just killed him. He was saying, You've been standing on my oxygen pipe."
1. The patient had come to London ______.
A.to see whether he could make friends with the nurse
B.to get the medical treatment from the doctor
C.to do some business to make money
D.to visit the world-famous city
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题属理解分析题。由文章第一句中的“for a visit to the famous doctor”可知：病人拜访这个著名的医生的目的就是看病。

Ⅵ Writing Directions: For this part, you are supposed to write a letter in English in 100-120 words based on the following situation. Remember to write it clearly.
1. 有人说，中文会成为一种全球语言。你是否同意这种说法，阐述为什么。
[参考范文] Some people say the Chinese language will become a global language. I don't agree on it. First, Chinese is difficult to learn. Maybe it is easy to learn how to speak Chinese, but it is very difficult to learn how to write it. Many Chinese characters are just like pictures. Second, there will not be so many people who want to learn it. English has already become a useful international language. Third, no nation wants to give up its own language to learn Chinese. It is very clear if a nation lost its language, it would not be there. In brief, it is impossible for the Chinese language to be used by everybody in the world.
