Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 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
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.
Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distantearly warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.
The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.
While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圆石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100mileanhour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.
Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants
faster than pollutants enter them.
21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.
A) it is a space station
B) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciology
C) there is the mysterious dry valley
D) it can help people detect global environmental changes
22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.
A) that they’ve desended to the Ross sea
B) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious winds
C) the global warming trend ever since the ice age
D) that they’ve been changed into gorges,sand dunes and boulders
23.When the author calls Antarctica “distantearlywarning sensor”, he
actually means that ____.
A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purpose
B) the research groups there are like such kind of sensors
C) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica first
D) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth
24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.
B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.
C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.
D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.
A) placed
B) noticed
C) fixed
D) judged
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrowminded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students.
The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields,
the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a d
egree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universit
ies are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”
Although the key to a good college is a highquality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure
(终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”
26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.
A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously
B) focus on training students in various skills
C) encourage all sorts of people to attend college
D) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends
27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.
A) aim
B) unit
C) center
D) course
28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.
A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many colleges
B) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learn
C) skills are being taught as a means to an end
D) students are not interested in learning
29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their four
year degree candidates because ____.
A) most of them lack highquality faculites
B) students are becoming more and more lazy
C) there are not enough incentives for students to study hard
D) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching
30.It can be inferred from the passage that highquality college education
calls for ____.
A) highquality faculties
B) a commitment to students and effective teaching
C) the cultivation of students’ interest in learning
D) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smaller
collegeage population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had beg
un to produce small fuelefficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gasguzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the autoindustry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.
31.What is the main idea of this passage?
A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.
B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.
C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.
D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.
32.The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?
A) Poor .
B) Got rid of.
C) Removed.
D) Unemployed.
33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.
A) small
B) gasconsuming
C) fuelefficient
D) not attractive
34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.
A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them running
B) young people couldn’t afford the tuition fees
C) keeping them running at the same level would cost much more
D) social services need more state funds because of the recession
35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.
A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’s
B) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’s
C) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of
the recession in 1970’s
D) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recession
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find
out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling
waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal
such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a
powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that
grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.
The first fullscale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some
big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.
36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.
A) to show us a future way of recycling wastes
B) to tell the importance of recycling wastes
C) to warn people the danger of some wastes
D) to introduce a new recycling plant
37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?
A) 3.
B) 4.
C) 5.
D) 6.
38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?
A) To deal with wastes in a better way.
B) It’s a good way to gain profits.
C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.
D) Energy can be got at a lower price.
39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.
A) have been in existence for 15 years
B) takes 15 years to build
C) can’t be built until 15 years later
D) will remain functioning for 15 years
40.Which of the following statements is true?
A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.
B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.
C) To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.
D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.

Section B
Passage One
There Yale University professors agreed in a panel disussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called“Public Health Enemy No. 1 in This Country”.Besides polluting the air and congesting the cities,automobiles could cause heart disease “because we don’t walk anywhere any more,”said Dr. H. P. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment of the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a threepart series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of man’s survival has to do with his control of manmade hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?
12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?
13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?
Passage Two
A small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week. It was trying to
cross a busy street but was too frightened to leave the strip in the middle of
the street.
A truck drive parked his truck on the side of the road and got out to help it. While he was going to get the dog, his truck rolled down the street. It smashed into four parked cars, crashed through a fence, rolled down a bank and smashed into a row of houses. Only the driver was hurt. The dog bit him on the hand while he was carrying it.
Here is another story about dogs. A nineyearold child who nearly drowned while she was swimming in a home swimming pool, was saved by the family dog on Saturday. The child was alone in the large pool at the time.
The family of the dog said it would receive an extra large bone as a reward.
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
14.What happened to the dog that brought disaster to the town?
15.Who was hurt in the disaster?
16.Where did the second story about dog take place?
17.What would be the reward given to the dog in the second story?
Passage Three
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You
are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year.
A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men’s work and his
own among people in different climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is
summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental
abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be
that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that
bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the nextbest season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good
time to take a long vacation from thinking.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
18.What is the passage mainly about?
19.What is the best season for thinking?
20.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

五十年代出生的人就到了该上大学的年龄了。很明显,选项D,七十年代经济萧条导致的出
生率下降与原文意思不符,故不正确。而选项A、B、C文章中都明确提到了。
Passage Four
内容概要:文章讲述了未来的回收利用工程。它可使人们的垃圾变废为宝。文章具体阐述了两项工程:一项工程是近期开展的,它是调查一个五十万人口的城市,看多少的原材料流进,流出,从而计算出一个城市回收厂的原材料的供应量是多少。另一项新工程是找出切实可行的好办法将垃圾分类。这种大规模的回收厂要建立的话,大概还得等15年。
36.【答案】A
【译文】这篇文章的主要目的是什么?
【试题分析】主旨题。
【详细解答】文章第一段告诉我们英国等国家应该在未来十五年内致力于
复杂的回收利用厂的建立工作,在第二、三段分别具体讲述了两个工程。因而从文章全文来
看,选项A向我们展示一种未来废品循环利用的方式是正确答案。B讲述回收利用的重要性只在第一段提及,不是文章的中心。C向人们警告废品的危险性,文章没有提及。D介绍一个新的回收利用厂,不正确,因为文章没有向我们介绍一个厂,只是阐述了新的工程。
37.【答案】B

【试题分析】细节题及语义理解题。
【详细解答】从文章最后一段第一句,“The first fullscale giant recyling plants are, perhaps, fiften years away.”可知要建立大规模的厂还有十五年的路要走。此句中“fifteen years away”的理解很关键。选项C中not…until,“直到…才”意为“十五年后,才能建立”与原意相符。
40.【答案】D
【译文】下列哪一个句子是正确的?
【试题分析】综合分析判断题。
【详细解答】选项A与原文第一段此句“The word rubbish could lose its meaning…”(单词rubbish 会失去原来的本义…)不符,故不对;B项与原文第一段中“Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes could provide energy if nothing else.”(那些最危险,最让人讨厌的垃圾,即使不能提供别的,也能提供能源。)不符,故不对。
C项也不对,因为文章第三段明确提到纸和橡皮可被重新利用。D是正确的,最后一段提及了。

【译文】一想到明天的这个时候我就在阳光明媚的沙滩上玩耍,难道不是
一件快乐的事吗?

将来某一时间正在进行的动作。2)“单纯”表示将来要发生的动作。这一结构在口语中用得
多。它与“will+不定式结构”有区别,在于它不带情态色彩,表示“纯粹”将来,但正由
于其不带情态色彩,在某些场合便能表示婉转口气。从而现代英语用will+being 表礼貌的询问、请求等。eg. ①When will you be visiting us again? ②When will you visit us again?句①不带请求意愿色彩,口气较随使,婉转;②则有需求对方表态之意,口气不够婉转。

Part Ⅳ Translation
S1.【答案】远离其他地方的主要污染源和复杂的地理、生态体系
,相对于在世界其它地区所做的科学测量来说,在南极洲做的科学测量更精确,更容易作出
解释。
【翻译技巧】顺译法,分译法,语序调整法。
【翻译要点】这句话包含的信息很多。首先分析句子结构,此句的主干为
“Antarctica makes possible scientific measure ments”。前面的“Remote from…”是
补充说明“Antarctica”的,可以直接顺译为“远离…”,其后面的“that are…the worl
d”是定语从句,用来修辞“scientific measurements”(科学测量)。此定语从句较长,而
且用的比较级,我们就把它单独拿出分译,并且将其语序的结构调整,那定语从句就成为主
谓结构,从句中的比较部分“than…”,单独拿出,放在了前面。
S2.【答案】学生们有很多选择,可以挑选所学课程,拿到学位。
【翻译技巧】语态转换法,减词法。
【翻译要点】此句是个并列结构,并且采用了被动语态。在汉语里,小分
句很多,因而英语里的“and”,不直接译出,译成小分句,就比较符合汉语的语法习惯。
另外,汉语中一般很少用被动语态,因而根据汉语习惯,将其变成主动句,也就是“studen
ts are offered…and allowed…”“被给予…,被允许…”;译为主动句“学生们有……,学生们可以……”。
S3.【答案】另外,年轻学者常有的抱怨是,“尽管行政人员和同
事对所出版的文章内容几乎没有任何兴趣,出版的压力还是很大”。
【翻译技巧】顺译法,语序调整法。
【翻译要点】此句中的句子主干是“a complaint is that…”。在翻译时
,主句顺序不变,可译为“抱怨是…”,英语里的“among young scholars”,按照汉语习
惯,转为其相应的定语,置于被修辞语“抱怨”的前面,就成了“年轻学者常有的抱怨是……”。从句中,“…,although…”引导让步状语从句,也要根据汉语习惯,把“虽然……”放
在前面,更上口些。
S4.【答案】70年代还发生了其它的事儿:油价暴涨引发了几乎所
有东西的价格上扬,使美国人意识到他们的宽敞的小汽车耗油太多。
【翻译技巧】顺译法,分译法。
【翻译要点】此句的难点在后面,冒号后是一个从句,主干为“the price
of oil increased…,”其后的“driving up…and making Americans aware that…”,
是分词作状语。而且“making…aware that…”,又是一个宾语从句。句子结构比较复杂,
我们根据汉语习惯,把它们译成为小分句,“油价暴涨,引发了…,使…意识到…”。宾语
从句可直译。
S5.【答案】那些最危险、最让人讨厌的垃圾,即使不能提供别的
,也能提供能源。
【翻译技巧】顺序调整法,增词法。
【翻译要点】此句翻译的难点在于理解从句“if nothing else”的意思。
nothing else 是“没有其它的,没有别的”意思,根据上下文,可译为“不能提供别的”
,并根据汉语习惯把“if…”从句从句尾提到了前面。

1)写作指导:

2)参考范文:
Should College Students Take Parttime Jobs?
Nowadays, many college students are taking parttime jobs in their spare time.
On this phenomenon, different people have different views.
Opponents, especially parents of those students, think that the major task for college students is to study. Taking parttime jobs will cut into their time for
study. Book knowledge is the most important. The socalled social experience can be acquired after they graduate and enter society.
Supporters see many advantages in college students taking parttime jobs. Firstly, it provides the students a chance to realize that money is always earned in a hard way so that they’ll learn to be economical. Secondly, from a practical point of view, students can earn some money to relieve the financial burden on their parents. Thirdly, parttime jobs may lead the students out of the ivory tower to see the real world.
Although opinions vary as to whether students should take parttime jobs or not, it is up to the students themselves to make the decision after sizing up their
own special case. If they can handle their study very well, taking a parttime
job might be fun.
