1. Your composition should be no less than 120 words. Remember to write it neatly. 现在，不少大学毕业生在找工作前特别要花上一笔数目不小的钱把自己好好装扮一下，有些学生甚至认为外貌比能力更重要，是这样吗。 Which Really Counts -- Ability or Good Looks?
Which Really Counts -- Ability or Good Looks? Nowadays, more and more college graduates spend much money on expensive clothes for a job interview. They think it is necessary to dress up and have good looks when taking an interview because many interviewers seem to pay much attention on the looks of the interviewees. Some of them even come to the conclusion that appearance is more important, than ability when they find that it's usually easier for those pretty but not so talented girls to get good jobs. It's nice. of course, to have a pretty face or handsome looks, especially in the modern society. But ability definitely weighs more than good looks, Let a wise employer makes a choice between an interviewee who has greater ability and one who only has a charming smile, he will surely choose the former because he is quite clear that goods looks is innate, while ability comes from practice. Amore capable employee is more likely to be hardworking and-able to do his job well. In my opinion ability is certainly more important than good looks. Beauty does not last long whereas great ability can benefit us for a lifetime. We should make use of every chance to improve our ability so as to adapt to the society.

He was a blind beggar, carrying the traditional battered cane, and thumping his way before him with the cautious, half-furtive effort of the sightless. He was a shaggy, thick-necked fellow; his coat was greasy about the lapels and pockets, and his hand splayed over the cane's crook with a futile sort of clinging. He wore a black pouch slung over his shoulder. Apparently he had something to sell. The air was rich with spring; the sun was warm and yellowed on the asphalt. Mr. Parsons, standing there in front of his hotel and noting the clack-clack approach of the sightless man, felt a sudden and foolish sort of pity for all blind creatures. And, thought Mr. Parsons, he was very glad to be alive. A few years ago he had been little more than a skilled laborer; now he was successful, respected, admired... Insurance ... And he had done it alone, unaided, struggling beneath handicaps . .. And he was still young. The blue air of spring, fresh from its memories of windy pools and lush shrubbery, could thrill him with eagerness. He took a step forward just as the tap-tapping blind man passed him by. Quickly tike shabby fellow turned. "Listen, guv'nor. Just a minute of your time." Mr. Parsons said, "It's late. I have an appointment. Do you want me to give you something?" "1 ain't no beggar, guv'nore. You bet I ain't. I got a handy little article here"--he fumbled until he could press a small object into Mr. Parsons' hand--" that I sell. One buck. Best cigarette lighter made." Mr. Parsons stood there, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed. He was a handsome figure with his immaculate gray suit and gray hat and malacca stick. Of course the man with the cigarette lighters could not see him ..."But I don't smoke," he said. "Listen. I bet you know plenty people who smoke. Nice little present," wheedled the man. "And, mister, you woudn't mind helping a poor guy out?" He clung to Mr. Parsons' sleeve. Mr. Parsons sighed and felt in his vest pocket. He brought out two half dollars and pressed them into the man's hand. "Certainly. I'll help you out. As you say, I can give it to someone. Maybe the elevator boy would--" He hesitated, not wishing to be boorish and inquisitive, even with a blind peddler. "Have you lost your sight entirely?" The shabby man pocketed the two half dollars. "Fourteen years, guv'nor." Then he added with an insane sort of pride: "Westbury, sir. I was one of' em." "Westbury," repeated Mr. Parsons. "Ah, yes. The chemical explosion ..The papers haven't mentioned it for years. But at the time it was supposed to be one of the greatest disasters in--" "They've all forgot about it." The fellow shifted his feet wearily. "I tell you, guv'nor, a man who was in it don't forget about it. Last thing I ever saw was C shop going up in one grand smudge, 'and that damn' gas pouring in at all the busted windows." Mr. Parsons coughed. But the blind peddler was caught up with the train of his one dramatic reminiscence. And, also, he was thinking that there might be more half dollars in Mr. Parsons' pocket. "Just think about it, guv'nor. There was a hundred and eight people killed, about two hundred injured, and over fifty of them lost their eyes. Blind as bats--" He groped forward until his dirty hand rested against Mr. Parsons' coat. "I tell you, sir, there wasn't nothing worse than that in the war. If I had lost my eyes in the war, okay. I would have been well took care of. But I was just a workman, working for what was in it. And I got it. You're damn' right I got it, while the capitalists were making their dough! They was insured, don't worry about that. They--" "Insured," repeated his listener. "Yes. That's what I sell--" "You want to know how I lost my eyes?" cried the man. "Well, here it is!" His words fell with the bitter and studied drama of a story often told, and told for money. "I was there in C shop, last of all the folks rushing out. Out in the air there was a chance, even with buildings exploding right and left. A lot of guys made it Safe out the door and got away. And just when I was about there, crawling along between those big vats, a guy behind me grabs my leg. He says, ' let me past, you-- ! ' Maybe he was nuts. I dun-no. I try to forgive him in my heart, guv'nor. But he was bigger than me. He hauls me back and climbs right over me! Tramples me into the dirt. And he gets out, and I lie there with all that poison gas pouring down on all sides of me, and flame and stuff... "He swallowed -- a studied sob -- and stood dumbly expectant. He could imagine the next words: Tough luck, my man. Damned tough. Now, I want to -- "That's the story, guv'nor." The spring wind shrilled past them, damp and quivering. "Not quite," said Mr. Parsons. The blind peddler shivered crazily. "Not quite? What you mean, you--?" "Other way around?" lie croaked unamiably. "Say, guv'nor--" "I was in C shop," said Mr. Parsons. "It was the other way around. You were the fellow who hauled back on me and climbed over me. You were bigger than I was, Markwardt." The blind man stood for a long time, swallowing hoarsely. He gulped: "Parsons. By God. By God! I thought you--" And then he screamed fiendishly: "Yes. Maybe so. Maybe so. But I'm blind ! I'm blind, and you've been standing here letting me spout to you, and laughing at me every minute! I'm blind !" People in the street turned to stare at him. "You got away, but I'm blind! Do you hear.'? I'm--" "Well, "said Mr. Parsons, "don't make such a row about it, Markwanh ... So am I." From Road to Reading, ed., Anna MariaMalkoc, Washington, D.C.

Motor nerve cells carry messages to the muscles, and this causes the muscles to move. Connecting nerve cells go between the sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells. After the messages go from the spinal cord to the brain, the brain sends messages through the motor nerve cells to the muscles. All these different nerve cells help us to see, hear, taste, smell and feel. Now if you have no further questions about chapter seven, we'll go on to talk about the chemical processes involving the transfer of messages. 32．How many kinds of nerve cells are mentioned in this passage?

All over the world men are searching for new techniques to provide mass housing, 1 and quickly, for millions of low-and-middle-income families, and to meet the urgent housing 2 brought on by such natural 3 as floods and earthquakes. A firm in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, the Universal Papertech Corporation, believes it has found one solution to the problem: houses made of paper. The ultimate success of the paper houses will 4 a great deal on breaking down traditional patterns and concepts of home building and restrictive codes. One thing seems certain, though: the 5 revolution is already under way. The 6 of paper houses was developed about 10 years ago by Universal. Six years ago the company supplied a number of the then-current models as 7 housing for thousands of 8 farm workers in California. Because the houses were new on the market, no one really knew just how long the unusual structures would last. Today, in California they are still holding up well under the elements and also are 9 more people than at first.

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 line through the centre
Passage One There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system, and the traditional system. In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions(交易) may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shorts, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts(法令) or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated (分配) to different households for consumption. In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: every person's place within the economic system is fixed by parentage(门第), religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every- decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant(停滞的，不景气的) society may result.
1. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems.
B.To explain the science of economics.
C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system.
Passage Two Americans do not give cooking, "considered as one of the fine arts", an important place in life. Lunch is for them a kind of gratuity paid to the body. They hurriedly toss it a fruit or a fish and go back to work. Certain writers, in rebellion, have founded the club, "Three Hours for Lunch", but they are an agreeable exception. Even at dinner, general conversation is rare. Everyone talks to his neighbor. After dinner the men linger at the table, a custom inherited from England. In New York your host will often propose taking you to the theatre, or else he will provide a pianist, a singer, a lecturer. The idea of leaving the guests to themselves, and expecting them to get pleasure out of meeting one another, astonishes and even appalls him. His excessive modesty does not permit his imagining that his friends can be happy merely in being in his house, with one another. He treats them like children. On Christmas Eve you will see, in some of the pleasant homes in New York, Christmas trees for grown people. In other places, after a dinner at which you exchange ideas, there will be a magician who will do his best to amuse the oldsters. There you must realize that the absence of conversation in American homes comes, not from absence of ideas or lack of intelligence of understanding, but from an unconquerable shyness and a prodigious self-distrust.
1. The Americans hurry through lunch because ______.

The conflicts build through complication. The tension amounts as characters take action to solve 67.______ their problems and succeed only in further entangle 68.______ themselves.

[解析] 随着人物采取行动解决他们的问题，矛盾进一步发展剧情冲突深化，同时人物也只是使他们更为复杂地纠缠在一起。 [试题分析] 本题属于没有正确使用动名词的错误。 [详细解答] succeed in sth．/doing sth．是固定搭配“成功地……干某事”，介词的后面，动词应用-ing形式，是动名词。如：I tried to clean the watch，but only succeeded in breaking it.(我想把表擦干净，结果事与愿违却把它擦坏)。
3.
将a point of crisis reached 改为a point of crisis is reached。
[解析] 这时主人公面临至关重要的选择，要作出决定，采取关键性行动，把全剧推向矛盾的最终解决。 [试题分析] 本题属于误用介词的错误。 [详细解答] face 是及物动词，后面无须跟介词，如：The window faces the street．(那窗子面临大街)。He turned to face his attackers．(他转过身毅然面对攻击他的人)。face one's responsibilities 承担个人的职责。face…with…是“覆盖一层不同的材料”之意，如：face a wall (with plaster) (用灰泥)涂抹墙壁。
5.
将which 改为 that。
[解析] 就是这个危机时刻决定了全剧的结局。 [试题分析] 本题属于关系代词误用。 [详细解答] 本句是It is … that 的强调句型，而不是定语从句，所以不应用which，而只能用that。
6.
将past 改为 passed。
[解析] 一旦高潮过后，全剧只能以一种方式结束。 [试题分析] 本题属于同音词混淆误用的错误。 [详细解答] past 能作名词“过去，往日”，形容词“过去的”，介词“在……之后，超过”不能作动词。而pass可作动词，表示“经过”，“通过”，这里明显缺少动词，应用passed，为被动语态。
[解析] 不再有和缓的展开和平稳的主题再现。 [试题分析] 本题属于介词误用。 [详细解答] in the end 相当 at last，finally 最后，终于，如：He tried many different jobs；in the end he became a postman．他试过许多不同的工作，最后当上了邮递员。at the end表示“在……的末尾，在……结局”，此处指在剧本的末尾。
9.
将 frightful 改为 frightened。
[解析] 《热闪》一剧的高潮显而易见：一个受惊的女子，面对两个陌生人，要决定究竟哪个是真正的敌人，哪个是朋友。 [试题分析] 本题属于意义相近的同源形容词误用的问题。 [详细解答] frightful意为“很不愉快的，可怕的”，如：a frightful accident 可怕的事故，而frightened意为“害怕的，受惊吓的”，如：The frightened children were calling for their mothers．(受惊的孩子呼喊着他们的妈妈)。显然此处是受了惊吓的女孩，应用frightened。
10.
将decides at which 改为 decides which。
[解析] 同上。 [试题分析] 本题属于在不必要处乱用介词的问题。 [详细解答] decide的后接宾语从语时，不须跟任何介词，而且 decide不和 at搭配，可与on 搭配。如：After seeing all the candidates we've decided on this one．(见过所有的应试人之后，我们决定这一位)。
