Part Ⅰ Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic What Music Do College Students Like. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the chart and outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1. 上图所示为2002年某校大学生音乐喜好的情况，请对其进行描述 2. 分析上述情况的原因 3. 谈谈你自己的音乐喜好问题 What Music Do College Students Like
[参考范文一] What Music Do College Students Like According to the chart, we can easily come to the conclusion that most students(83% ) enjoy listening to pop songs instead of classical music. Folk music is less popular than pop songs. There are only 12% of young students like it. The reason why students appreciate pop songs so much may be that they are easy to follow and closely related to their daily lives. In addition, the fast pace and rhythmic beat of pop songs usually make students feel excited and energetic. What's more, the pop stars are generally fashionable, which makes the pop songs more influential. As a college student, I persist in listening to light music, which usually creates a peaceful environment. This re ally makes me feel relaxed. [参考范文二] What Music Do College Students Like The chart reveals that the vast majority (83%) of students like pop music, which is in great contrast with only 5% of them favor classical music and 12% of them are fond of folk music. The reason tar the popularity of the pop songs are its themes and melodies, which describe mostly emotions and daily life of the young people. Besides, pop songs are usually easy to follow and meaningful to those young students. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer all kinds of music. When I feel stressed or exhausted after a day's hard work, I often listen to light music, classical music or folk music to relax myself. When I feel sad, I'll listen to some pop songs or rock music to encourage myself.

Mauna Kea in Hawaii: Astronomy on the World's Highest Island Mountain Four thousand years ago, a volcano exploded in a far away area of the Pacific Ocean. Today, the Mauna Kea volcano is inactive. It is on the Big Island in the state of Hawaii. It is the highest mountain on any island in the world. It is also the highest mountain in the Pacific Ocean. And it is one of the best places in the world to study the heavens. This is because the air is clear, dry and generally free from pollution. Astronomers from around the world come to the Manna Kea observatory to explore the universe. Go Up to the Mountaintop Astronomers must compete for observation time on Mauna Kea. But visitors are welcome any time. They must either walk up more than four thousand kilometers to the top of the mountain. Or they can join a guided vehicle tour that leaves from the Mauna Kea Visitors Center, about two-thirds of the way up the mountain. Erik West is our guide for the trip up the mountain. Mr. West says visitors who want to drive up the mountain must have a special kind of four wheel-drive vehicle. He also explains some health and safety issues because of the height of the mountain. Being at such a high elevation can affect people's health. Visitors must not have any heart or breathing problems. They must not have dived deep underwater in the past twenty-four hours. And visitors must be over the age of sixteen. Now we are ready to drive our vehicles up the mountain. One behind the other, the cars follow a steep road during the forty-five minute drive. They drive over lava rock created by the volcano when it was active. Tour Around the Astronomy When we reach the top of the mountain, we get out of our vehicles. We see a group of domed observatories that look like a garden of giant mushrooms. The air up here is cool. Mr. West warns that the air can make people sick because it has forty percent less oxygen than at sea level. He says it has different effects on people. Some people feel light-headed, dizzy or sick to their stomachs. If any people get so sick that they need oxygen, they must leave and go back down the mountain. The first large telescope was built on Manna Kea in nineteen seventy. Now there are thirteen groups of observatories. One of them is called SMA, or Submillimeter Array. It includes eight different telescopes that operate together. Eleven countries and several universities are involved with the telescopes. Tile biggest telescopes are the ten-meter Keck telescopes. Mr. West says telescopes keep getting bigger because astronomers want to be able to collect as much light as possible. How the Astronomy Works The Keck One and Keck Two are world's largest optical and infrared 红外线) telescopes. Their mirrors are divided into thirty-six hexagonal(六边形) parts. They work together as one piece of reflective glass. During the day, Keck One is a sleeping giant of steel devices closed inside a protective covering. The dome covering weighs about seven hundred tons. It is about thirty meters to the top of the dome. The whole minor structure is about twenty-four meters tall. The real action begins at sundown. The dome opens and starts rotating to where the astronomers need it. The mirror rotates to the place where they will be observing. Throughout the night, the mirror moves to follow an object as it crosses the sky. But the astronomers are not near the telescopes. They are in the control room keeping warm. Over the years, astronomers have made many important discoveries here. They have discovered new moons around Jupiter (木星). They have taken pictures that help measure the expansion of the universe. They have observed hundreds of small objects orbiting the Sun past the orbit of the planet Neptune(海王星). Mr. Rolf Kudritzki, the director of the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy that operates the Mauna Kea Observatory, says astronomers also look for signs of life in the universe beyond our solar system. He noted that Mauna Kea telescopes recently discovered some of the planets orbiting distant stars. Space telescopes, such as the Hubble (哈勃太空望远镜), are different from land-based telescopes. The Hubble works outside the earth's atmosphere to capture finely detailed views of the universe. But the small size of space telescopes limits their light-collecting power. Mr. Kudritzki says land-based observatories can often provide more details about objects in the universe. These include the distance, size, mass and the chemicals that make up an object in space. He says that land-based observatories, like those on Manna Kea, are in some ways better than space telescopes. These observatories provide astronomers with less costly observing time and many different kinds of tools for observing objects in space. He says the Manna Kea observatories will continue to be a valuable addition to earth-orbiting telescopes for many years to come. A Mountain of Gods Manna Kea is important to astronomers who study the universe. But for Native Hawaiians, the mountain is a religious place. Manna Kea is home to their most important gods. And it is the burial place of their ancestors. The Hawaiian tradition says Manna Kea is the mountain of the gods. Tradition says Wakea, the sky father, and Papa, his wife, gave birth to the Hawaiian Islands on Manna Kea. The Office of Manna Kea Management was started in 2000. It helps the University of Hawaii supervise the mountain as a science center and cultural center. Bill Stormont is director of the office. He says it seeks to balance tile interests of astronomers, native Hawaiians and environmentalists. He says that it is important that the native Hawaiians have a voice in the future development of Manna Kea. Ms. Piseiotta is among a group of Native Hawaiian activists who have taken legal action to halt a plan to build four to six small telescopes on the mountain. The American space agency, NASA, sup ports the project. It says it will do little harm to the environment. Ms. Pisciotta does not dismiss the value of astronomy. She is a former telescope operator herself. But she wants greater control over protecting her culture and traditions in the future. She says she supports the idea that astronomy is necessary to search for life in the universe. But she also believes that good science would want to protect traditions that are thousands of years old. Rolf Kudritzki says science and culture can exist together on Manna Kea. He says both sides must be willing to discuss the issues. Ms. Pisciotta hopes that she has a voice in deciding a future that protects the past.
1. The Manna Kea Astronomy standing on the top of the world's highest island mountain serves as one of tile best observing points for space exploration. But the balance between science and culture re mains a big question to be solved.
Y
题干的表述是建在世界上最高的海岛山峰上的莫纳开亚天文观测站是世界上观测宇宙的最好的几个观测点之一，但是如何平衡科学与文化却是一个亟待解决的问题。从文章的第一段对莫纳开亚天文观测站的介绍和最后一小节A Mountain of Gods夏威夷人对莫纳开亚山的文化观念的介绍，可以知道本题表述正确。
2. People choose to build Astronomy on Manna Kea because it's the highest mountain among the world's islands.
3. Visitors to the Mauna Kea have two choices to go up to the mountaintop.
Y
在Go Up to the Mountaintop这一小节一开始就写到人们可以选择步行四千公里到达山顶，也可以从位于距山顶三分之二处的游客中心乘坐一种特殊的四轮交通工具上山。
4. If people get sick on the mountaintop, they can't have any medical help there.
NG
在Tour Around the Mountaintop小节中写到由于山顶氧气稀薄，人们可能会出现恶心、头晕等高山反应，如果有人出现恶心现象而需要氧气的话，那他就得下山了。但是文中并末提及山顶上是否有医疗救助的没施，因此人们是否会在山顶上得到医疗救助就未可知了。
5. Manna Kea has the largest telescopes in the world.
N
查读How the Astronomy Works这一小标题下第一段，文中The Keck One and Keck Two are world's largest optical and infrared telescopes.可知对这两个望远镜的描述是它们是世界上最大的光学和红外线望远镜，而本题说莫纳开亚拥有世界上最大的望远镜则是不准确的。
6. The astronomers actually control the telescope in the operating room instead of being near the telescopes.
Y
这道题的答案在How the Astronomy Works一小节中。在第二段的末尾，文章在介绍完了望远镜的工作状况之后，最后一句说天文学家们离望远镜并不近，他们呆在控制室里享受温暖，也就是说他们在控制室里遥控望远镜的运行。
7. New moons around the Neptune is one of the important discoveries made in the Manna Kea As tronomy in the past years.
N
在How the Astronomy Works小标题下第三段中，莫纳开亚观测站目前已观测到的成果包括发现了绕木星运行的新的卫星，拍下了用来测量宇宙膨胀的照片，以及观测到了成千上万绕太阳轨道运行的小型天体经过海王星轨道。而本题却说发现了绕海王星运行的新的卫星则是混淆了木星和海王星，这是考查应试者的细致程度。
8. The important thing in discussing the future development of Manna Kea is to ensure the participation of ______.
the native Hawaiians
在A Mountain of Gods小标题下的第二段结尾，文章写到莫纳开亚管理办公室的主任Bill Stormont认为当地的夏威夷土著居民在关于莫纳开亚将来的发展的讨论中的意见是很重要的，也就是说夏威夷土著居民也应该参与到莫纳开亚将来的发展进程中来。因此，本题的考查点就是文章特意强调的夏威夷土著居民的参与性问题。
9. According to the text, that new building of telescopes will not harm the environment is the view point of ______.
the American space agency或者NASA
在A Mountain of Gods小标题下第三段中，讲到美国航空航天局，也就是NASA准备在莫纳开亚新建四到六个小型望远镜。在第四段第一句It says it will do little harm to the environment中的 it很明显就是指代上文中提到的该新建计划的筹建者美国航空航天局，因此，本题的答案就是the American space agency或者是NASA，他们认为新增望远镜不会对环境产生不利影响。
10. The director of the Manna Kea Astronomy believes that, on the holy mountain, there is the possibility for the co-existence of ______.
science and culture
在A Mountain of Gods小标题下的最后两段讲述的重点就是如何在进行科学研究和保留传统之间取得平衡的问题，最后一段第一句就讲到Roll Kudritzki说科学和文化是可以共存的。而在文章的第三小节中介绍过Boll Kudritzki是莫纳开亚天文站的站长，而且在最后一节的第一段就说过莫纳开亚山是当地夏威夷人心目中的圣山，因此本题提问莫纳开亚天文站的站长认为在这座圣山上什么是有可能共存的，答案就是 science and culture。
Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

[解析] M: I was surprised at Susan using that record player you were going to throw away. W: Yes, it's very old. That she got it to work amazes me. Q: What does the woman mean?
男士说看到Susan在用女士准备扔掉的唱机，感到很惊讶(surprised)。女士回答“Yes…”，并且说： Susan还能让唱机工作(got it to work)让她觉得吃惊(amaze me)。根据amaze和got it to work可判断 Susan把唱机修好了，女士感到很惊讶。对话没有涉及Susan如何修好唱机的事(how)，故排除B)； C)是根据throw away设置的干扰项；D)不是女士要表达的重点，故也应排除。
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[解析] 19-22 W: Dave. I'm going to the supermarket to pick up food and drink for Saturday's picnic later. Any suggestions? M: Well, everyone has been talking about having a barbecue down by the river, so why don't you pick up some ham burger and hot dogs? W: Okay. And you better pick up some chicken for those who don't like hamburger or hot dogs. M: Alright. What else? Uh, we're gonna need some soft drinks, How about ten of those big 2-liter bottles? W: Sounds fine, but be sure to buy a variety of drinks. M: Okay. And what about dessert? W: Well, maybe we could ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies like she did last time. M: Well, I wouldn't mind that, but you know, she's been very busy working two jobs, so I'd hate to ask her, and uh... why don't you whip up some of your oatmeal cookies? Hey, you could even ask, uh... ,what's her name... yeah that new girl, Susan, the one that moved in across the street! I bet she'd be willing to help you! She's a real knockout ! W: Nah, I don't think I could ask her... I don't know her phone number, plus... [Door bell tings...] M: Hey, you don't need to. She's at the door! 19. When is the picnic?
该对话围绕“野餐准备工作”展开。该题是对“野餐时间”这一细节内容的考查，该题答案出现在对话的首句I'm going to the supermarket to pick up food and drink for Saturday's picnic later．中，关键词是 Saturday，所以答案应是C)。
2.
A.At a park.
B.At the beach.
C.At Dave's house.
D.By a river.
A B C D
D
[解析] Where is the picnic being held?
该题是对“野餐地点”这一具体内容的考查。从Well，everyone has been talking about having a barbecue down by the river可知，野餐地点应是“小河边”，因此选择答案D)，句中的barbecue表示“吃烤肉食品的野餐会”。
3.
A.She has been working a lot recently.

A B C D
A
[解析] What does the woman suggest Kathy make for the picnic dessert?
该题是对“野餐甜点”这一内容的考查。要做好该题，把握好maybe we could ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies like she did last time．这一句是关键，其中cherry pies是最关键的内容，表示“樱桃馅饼”，选项B)、C)、D)分别表示“巧克力蛋糕”、“牛肉布丁”、“烤面包”，因此都不符合题意，只有选项A)是正确的。
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[解析] 23-25 W: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over. M: Where to? W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and... M: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? M: Well, that all depends on the traffic ,but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes. W: Oh, by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? M: Well, I would guess around 6:00 o'clock. W: Uh, do you have the time? M: Yeah; It's half past four. W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? M: Umm... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most places I've been to. W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? M: Well, you can catch the subway fight outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. W: Okay. Thanks. 23. Where is the woman going?
由Hey Taxi!，Where to?两句可判定，这是一则发生在出租车司机和乘客间的谈话。该题是对谈话中“女乘客的目的地”这一具体内容的考查。该问题恰与对话中司机的提问Where to?相对应，因此把握好女乘客对这一提问的回答是做对该题的关键，从女乘客的回答Well，I'm going to the National Museum of Art可确定，答案是D)，表示“去博物馆?。选项A)、B)、C)分别表示“去公园”、“去影剧院”、“去看音乐片”，都不符合题意。
2.
A.In five minutes.
B.In ten minutes.
C.In fifteen minutes.
D.In twenty minutes.
A B C D
C
[解析] How long will it take to get to her destination?
该题是对“到达目的地所需要的时间”这一具体内容的考查，该问题恰好与对话中女乘客的提问How long does it take to get there?相对应，因此做好该题需要把握好司机对这一提问的回答Well，that all depends on the traffic，but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver．And I'm not average．I have driving down to an art，so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes”该回答中的have driving down to an art表示“驾车技艺精湛”，cruise through the traffic表示“从车来人往中慢速驶过”，其中对于该题来说，最关键的信息是．．．get there in less than twelve minutes一句，由此可知该司机驾车12分钟内即可到达目的地，因此选C)。
3.
A.To a party.
B.To a restaurant.
C.To a play.
D.To a business meeting.
A B C D
B
[解析] Where is the woman going later down town?

Passage One Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
A.The largest consumer with severe tobacco-related diseases.
B.The largest consumer and the largest producer.
C.The largest producer with severe tobacco-related diseases.
D.The largest producer with high death rate of tobacco-related diseases.
A B C D
B
[解析] 26-28 China, the world's largest consumer and producer of tobacco, has agreed an international treaty aimed at reducing tobacco-related diseases and deaths. The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) was ratified recently by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. Dr. Shigeru Omi, WHO regional Director for the Western Pacific, welcomed the announcement and congratulated China on what he called a landmark decision. "This is perhaps the clearest indication yet that the world is increasingly devoted to addressing the global tobacco diseases, he said, "Agreement of the FCTC by China could not have come at a better time." Dr. Hank Bekedam, the WHO representative in China, said: "This allows China to truly join global and regional efforts to reduce smoking. Many lives will be saved, public health will be strengthened, and the economy will benefit as well." The Chinese Government estimates that there are 350 million smokers in the country. About 60 per cent of Chinese men and 3 per cent of women smoke. It al~ appears that the number of children and young female smokers may be increasing significantly at present. Tobacco kills 1.2 million Chinese each year. In the nfid-1990s, tobacco use cost the government US $ 6.5 billion annually in health-care costs alone. More than 75 countries have now agreed with the treaty, including other major tobacco-manufacturing countries such as India and Japan. The convention became international law in February 2005 ,after the required ratification by 40 countries. 26．What is China's role in the world tobacco industry?
可以从文中第一句知道，the world's largest consumer and producer of tobacco，说明中国既是生产大国，同时也是消费大国，故选B)。而后面提到的疾病死亡等只是签署协议的目的，并未提及这方面中国的现状。
2.
A.60% of Chinese men.
B.60% of 350 million.
C.97% of Chinese men.
D.97% of 350 million.
A B C D
A
[解析] How many Chinese men smoke in estimation?
文中提到About 60 percent of Chinese men and 3 percent of women smoke.，中国政府估计，约有3亿5千万吸烟者，而大约60%的中国男人都抽烟，由此选A)，误选的原因往往是听清了句中的数字，而忽略了数字所修饰的成分。
3.
A.Yonng men and children.
B.Young female and children.
C.Young men and young female.
D.Young female and their children.
A B C D
B
[解析] Which kind of smokers in China is growing significantly recently?
文中提及It also appears that the number of children and young female smokers may be increasing significantly at present.，儿童和妇女抽烟的数量在现阶段的增长也引人注目，听出这句话的主语，便可确定答案。
Passage Two Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 29-31 Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old former Marine, was being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail. The man accused of murdering the US President, John F. Kennedy, has himself been shot dead in a Dallas police station. The event was being covered live on television, and Americans across the country watched in astonishment as a man -- later identified as Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner -- stepped forward, drew a gun and shot Mr. Oswald at point-blank range. An ambulance rushed Mr. Oswald to the Parkland Hospital -- the same hospital which had fought to save President Kennedy's life two days earlier -- but he died within minutes of his arrival. He was arrested about an hour after the murder, carried out as the President's motor queue passed through the Dealey Plaza in Dallas. He was initially accused of the murder of a policeman, JD Tippit, who appears to have recognized him and approached him just 45 minutes after the killing of the President. Soon after, Mr. Oswald was also charged with the President's murder. But, police gave no explanation of how Jack Ruby came to be in the police headquarters. The building had been under heavy guard after several calls making threats against Oswald's life. Ruby came to Dallas from Chicago 10 years ago. He runs a downtown club, and is said to have links with organised criminals. Police said Ruby had told them, "1 didn't want to be a hero -- I did it for Jacqueline Kennedy. "They said he wanted to spare the president's wife accused of killing her husband. 29．Who murdered John F. Kennedy actually?
从文中提及的被谋杀的人物有三个，Kennedy 被 Mr.Oswald所杀，在Mr．Oswald逃跑中，又将一位警察JD Tippit杀死，两天后自己又被Jack Ruby杀死。对应文中提到的He was．．．45 minutes after the killing of the President.，可以推测JD Tippit是紧接着Kennedy被谋杀后的45分钟后被杀的。
3.
A.Policeman in police headquarters.
B.Police in the President's motor queue.
C.The boss of a downtown club.
D.Just one of organized criminals.
A B C D
C
[解析] What did Jack Ruby do?
文中提到He runs a down town club，他经营着一个市区俱乐部。可以得出答案C)。
Passage Three Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
A.It is one of the China's foreign exchange reform.
B.It may bring flexibility to the market.
C.It is in the former plan.
D.They want to bring yuan to the spot market.
A B C D
B
[解析] 32-35 Pushing China's foreign exchange reform ahead by another step, the central bank on Friday carried out its first currency swap deals with local banks. It hopes that this could help bring more flexibility to the market. The People's Bank of China confirmed that it was carrying out its first foreign exchange swap deal on Friday, but would not give more details. A Beijing-based trader for a major state-owned bank said that the central bank offered one-year currency swaps worth $ 6 billion at 7.85 Chinese yuan per dollar. In spot dealings, the yuan closed at 8.08 to the dollar on Thursday. Analysts said that it wasn't clear exactly what system the central bank was using in its swaps transactions, but said it could be selling dollars and buying yuan on the spot market, and a year later could reverse the deal at the set rate. That would have the effect of removing yuan from the money market. At the same time, the central bank could use the swap rate to signal its expectations about how fast it expects the yuan's value to rise, they said. Tile swap deal didn't seem to have any immediate effect on the spot market. Late Thursday, China's State Administration for Foreign Exchange announced it would also introduce a new currency trading system allowing bank market members to trade directly with each other.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Ever since the first caveman discovered that he could draw arrows on the ground with a pointed stick, man has been trying to communicate with other men by means of written symbols. The caveman's arrows may have 1 only to show other cavemen the location of a river or the 2 taken by an unfriendly animal. But whatever his 3 , that distant ancestor of ours was responding to a basic human urge -- the urge to 4 . And although writing today is far more 5 , more stable, more conscious in its purpose than were those first crude symbols of early man, the basic urge behind every piece of writing 6 the same: to communicate, to share knowledge and ideas and feelings, to say to the world, "This is the way things are". That is the purpose of all writing. It is the purpose of a newspaper report, of a magazine article, of a short story, of a novel, of a poem. And it is the purpose of the essay. An essay, however, is neither a mere record of fact nor a pure work of the 7 . The paper that you write for a history class may 8 like an essay. But it probably isn't, no matter how care fully you have rewritten all the facts in your own words. Neither is the autobiographical incident that you "write up" for your English class likely to be an essay, no matter how truthful or clever; nor the description of a particular scene, no matter how 9 the details. You have probably written hundreds of such compositions during your life. You may even have called them essays. But they are 10 essays. What, then, is an essay? An essay is the written expression of its author's opinion. A. look I) delicate B. accurate J) motives C. applied K) communicate D. seldom L) complicated E. goes M) remains F. served N) imagination G. direction O) transport H) frequent
Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single liras through the centre.
Passage One Each for its own reason, the study of residential mobility has been a concern of three disciplines: economics, geography and sociology. For the economist, residential shifts provide a means for studying the housing and land markets. Geographers study mobility to understand the spatial (空间的) distributions of population types. For the sociologist, interest in residential mobility has two sources: one stemming from the study of human ecology and the other, from a concern with the peculiar qualities of urban life. Of course, there are clearly overlapping concerns and it is often difficult to discern(辨别) the disciplinary origins of a researcher by sole examining the kinds of questions he or she raises about mobility, although it is usually easier to identify a researcher's discipline by noting the methods used and the concepts employed. Urban mobility first appears in the sociological literature as a term expressing rather generalized qualities of urban, as opposed to the non-urban life. Some sociologists refer to the mobility of the city as the considerable sum of myriad and incessant (不断的)sources of stimulation imposing upon the urban dweller, a sort of sensory overload which produces sophistication, indifference, and a lowered level of affection in urban dwellers. There is simply so much to experience that the urban dweller's capacity is reduced to react in a "spontaneous'? and "natural" way to urban existence. It is mobility in this sense that produces some of the special qualities of urban life, which, on the one hand, ap peals to migrants as an escape from the dullness and oppression of rural existence with its lack of change and stimulation, and on the other hand, produces alienation in a society where men see each other primarily as means to ends rather than as ends in themselves. Of course, mobility in this larger sense of sensory overload is not a concept which lends itself easily to measurement, especially since it is a macro-system property.
1. Geographers who study mobility are most probably interested in ______.
A.the fact that people of different nationalities or ethnical groups reside in different places
B.why people of one type prefer to isolate themselves from those of another type
C.peculiar characteristic of people from different countries in choosing living places
D.what types of people, like to move frequently and why they keep changing their living places
A B C D
A
根据题干中的关键词Geographer，返回本句：Geographers study mobility to understand the spatial distributions of population types．(地理学家研究流动性以了解不同种类人群的空间分布情况。)A)项中people of different nationalities or ethnical groups与“不同种类人群”对应，语义范围相当；different places与原文“空间分布情况”对应，语义范围相当。B)、C)和D)都是对原文这句话的曲解，所以在排除干扰项时，要将选项关键词与原文语义仔细对比。
2. According to the passage, examining the kinds of questions a researcher raises about mobility is ______.
A.not an idem way to identify his or her disciplinary origins
B.easier than noting the methods used and the concepts employed
C.the only way to discern the disciplines he or she applied
D.too difficult to be used in finding out his or her disciplinary origins
A B C D
A
本题的关键是第一段最后一句it is often difficult to discern(辨别)the disciplinary origins of a researcher by sole examining the kinds of questions．．．by noting the methods used and the concepts employed.，由此可知，仅仅从研究者对流动性提出的问题就辨别出他们研究的是哪一类学科的做法并不是理想的。D)具有一定的迷惑性，似乎与原文关键词均对应，但其意思是“这种做法太难了，以至于人们不用它来判断研究者们的研究学科。”而原文作者只是说使用这种方法来做判定并非易事，并没有说不使用该方法；其他两项均是对原文想当然的曲解。
3. Some sociologists believe that "sensory overload" ______.
A.produces the dullness and oppression of rural existence
B.is responsible for some of evil characteristics of urban dwellers
C.is the result of the mobility of the city
D.appeals to non-urban dwellers
A B C D
B
根据题干中关键词sensory overload找回原文第二段第二句对sensory overload做出解释的地方：a sort pf sensory overload which produces sophistication，indifference，and a lowered level of affection in urban dwellers．(一种在城市居民中产生圆滑，冷漠和较低层次的爱的感觉重负。)可见这种重负的产品sophistication．indifference，and a lowered level of affection都是城市居民的负面特点，与B)中所言evil characteristics(邪恶特色)大体相当。A)说的是rural existence(乡村生活)的特点，与原文中的urban dwellers(城市居民)不符，C)内容太泛没有针对性；D)中的non-urban dwellers(非城市居民)也与原文不符。
4. According to the passage, in a society where there is alienation, people ______.
A.can discern other people's shortcomings but not their owns
B.hold hostile views to others
C.take advantage of others to achieve their own purposes
D.are willing to help each other
A B C D
C
本题关键是最后一段倒数第二句中produces alienation in a society where men see each other primarily as means to ends rather than as ends in themselves.，该句中的means意为“方法，手段，途径”，end意为“目的，目标”，意思是说城市人之间的互相来往主要是为了达到自己某种目的的手段，而不是为了来往而来往，C)与此意接近。文章虽提到城里人彼此间不太有好感(lowered level of affection)，但没有提到他们之间互相挑毛病，排除A)；B)中的hostile也夸大了原文中所描述的indifference(冷漠)的含义；D)则和原文意思正相反。
5. The words "spontaneous" and "natural" (Line 6, Para. 2) indicate that ______.
A.urban people lack more creativity and originality
B.urban people are clever than rural people
C.urban life is colourful and interesting
D.urban existences is full of change and stimulation
Passage Two For anyone who is set on a career in fashion, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive and become established during their early 20s making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can count for as much as flair(眼光) and creativity. Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant breakneck (高速而危险的) speed to prepare for the next season's collections. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to cultivate good coverage in newspapers and magazines. It al so requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. "We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is," says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin's School of Art in London. "And we point out that drive and determination are essential." This may seem far removed from the popular image of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses, That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won't be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. "We don't stamp on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the constraints of price, manufacturability, marketing and so on." Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and innovation. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a manufacturer or fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer. Even those students who are most avant-garde (标新立异的) in their own taste of clothes and image may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the main stream of market. They also have to be able to work at both tire exclusively expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.
1. To be successful as a fashion designer you must ______.
4. Initially, many young designers have to ______.
A.hold back their creativity
B.work for department stores
C.change their personal taste in fashion
D.inform to a certain image
A B C D
C
本文的最后一段提供了该题的正确选项的依据，最后一段中表达的意思为：Most young designers... may need to adopt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market．(设计师不仅要顺应自己老板的风格特点，还需要满足市场需要，因此设计师在开始步人设计行业时还需改变个人喜好。) A)为错误选项，不论何时设计师都应保持创新性；B)、D)两项文中没有提到。
5. The views on fashion design expressed in this article ______.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
