Part ⅡReading 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 1



Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

When a new movement in Art attains a certain fashion,it is advisable to find out what it advocates are aiming at ,for ,however far-fetched and unreasonable their tenants may seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. With regard to futurist poetry,however,the case is rather difficult,for whatever futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as literature.

This, in brief,if what the futurist says:for a century,past conditions of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.This speeding up of life ,says the futurist,requires a new form of expression.We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract (奔流) of essential words,undisturbed by stops,or qualifying adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them;We must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten or lengthen words at will.

Certainly their descriptions of battles are vividly confusing .But it is a little disturbing to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers:“Pluff!Pluff!a hundred and eighty-five kilograms.”This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of futurist poetry,can hardly be classed as literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole question is really this:have we essentially changed?

21.In the author’s opinion,when new ideas become fashionable,it is desirable to ____ .

A)examine the normality of the fashion

B)spread the aims of their advocates

C)check their aims

D)follow the fashion

22.According to the futurists,it is of importance for people to ____ .

A)retire from the noisy world

B)make alteration to literature

C)develop new literary forms

D)change their spiritual world

23.We can see the author considers that futurist poetry is ____ .

A)too strange to accept

B)beyond people’s understanding

C)scarcely viewed as literature

D)by all means literature

24.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A)The futurist poets suggest developing new literary forms.

B)The futurist poets are bored with modern life.

C)A new movement in Art calls for continuous changes.

D)The futurist poetry belongs to literature.

25.The suitable title of this passage would be ____ .

A)How New Movement Influences Literature

B)How to Evaluate Futurist Poetry

C)What Futurist Poetry Means

D)Where Futurist Literature Heads for

 

Passage 2

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Each for its own reason,the study of residential mobility has been a concern of three disciplines:sociology,economics,and geography.For the economist,residential shifts provide a means for studying the housing and land markets.Geographers study mobility to understand the spatial 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 the disciplinary origins of a researcher by solely 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 the non-urban life.Some sociologists refer to the mobility of the city as the considerable sum of myriad and incessant sources of stimulation impinging 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 other hand, appeal 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 anomie and 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.

26.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 characteristics 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

27.According to the passage,examining the kinds of questions research raises about mobility is ____ .

A)not an ideal way to identify his or her disciplinary origin

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

28.Some sociologists believe that “sensory overload”(Para.2)____. 

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

29.According to the passage,in a society where there is anomie and 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

30.The words“spontaneous”and “natural”(Para.2) indicate that ____ .

A)urban people lack creativity and originality

B)urban people are clever than rural people

C)urban life is colorful and interesting

D)urban existence is full of change and stimulation

 

Passage 3

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

The first pre-election poll, or “straw vote”,as it was then called,was conducted by the Harrisburg Pennsylvanian before the 1824 presidential election.This straw vote and the many that followed it really registered nothing but local opinion.However, as communications improved and elections were won by closer and closer margins,newspapers and journals tried desperately to satisfy their readers’ curiosity in more reliable ways.

Before the 1928 elections,no fewer than eighty-five publications made private inquiries,generally by means of questionnaires(问卷、调查表)sent to subscribers(订户) and by telephone surveys.The principle common to all these inquiries was that they depended on quantity rather than quality;little effort was made to reach representatives of all segments(部分) of the population.Still,the erroneous belief persisted that the greater the number of questionnaires,the more accurate the results would be .The record was held by the American monthly Literary Digest,which sent out millions of postcards with short and pointed questions before each election,and received many hundreds of thousands of replies.In fact ,in 1932,the Literary Digest’s forecast was off by only 1 percent.

In view of such striking achievements,it seemed rather impertinent(粗鲁的) for the young American journalist,George Gallup,to claim that large numbers were irrelevant,and that equally accurate or better predictions could be made with a small but carefully selected sample of the population and a small team of skilled interviewers.

In 1936,it took Gallup a long time to convince thirty-five newspaper editors that his system was much cheaper than the customary mass inquiries and that it could provide surprisingly accurate predictions.The editors finally agreed,on condition that if Gallup’s predictions were less accurate than those obtained by the tried method of the Literary Digest,he would have to refund (赔偿) the entire cost of the investigation.Although the Literary Digest broke its own record by obtaining two million replies to its electoral postcards that year,its prediction was wrong by 19 percent,whereas Gallup’s was off by less than 1 percent. 

31.From the passage we know that the earliest pre-election polls were ____ in reflecting the public opinions.

A)meaningful B)inaccurate C)satisfying D)successful

32.All of the following are the characteristics of the inquiries mentioned

in the second paragraph except____ .

A)a large number of questionnaires were sent out

B)quantity rather than quality was emphasized

C)almost no effort was made to interview people from every walk of life

D)every publication in America got involved

33.We can infer from the passage that in the beginning the newspaper editors were____ Gallup’s system.

A)doubtful of C)displeased with

B)enthusiastic about D)indignant at 

34.We can infer from the passage that in the early 1930s____ .

A)Gallup was a famous journalist

B)the Literary Digest liked to break records

C)the literary Digest was the biggest monthly in America

D)the method of the Literary Digest was popular and well-received

35.Gallup’s system proved to be____ .

A)much cheaper B)a great failure

C)a huge success D)much costly

 

Passage 4

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged,biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive(认

知的) areas such as attention and memory.This is true regardless of age.

People will be alert(警觉的) and receptive (愿意接受的) if they are faced

with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old

age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.

Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they

are putting the theory to work in their own lives.“The idea is not necessarily

to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard,associa

te director of the National Institute on aging.“Most of us don’t need that kind

of skill.Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain

mental alertness.”Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills,both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.

Gene Cohen,acting director of the same institute,suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age,but older people need to keep mentally active as well.Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted.“The point is ,you need to do both,”Cohen says,“Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size.”

36.People who are cognitively healthy are those____ .

A)who can remember large amounts of information

B)who are highly intelligent

C)whose minds are alert and receptive

D)who are good at recognizing different sounds

37.According to Fozard’s argument,people can make their brains work more efficiently by ____ .

A)constantly doing memory work

B)taking part in various mental activities

C)going through specific training

D)making frequent adjustments

38.The findings of James and other scientists in their work____ .

A)remain a theory to be further proved

B)have been challenged by many other experts

C)have been generally accepted

D)are practised by the researchers themselves

39.Older people are generally advised to ____ .

A)keep fit by going in for physical activities

B)keep mentally active by challenging their brains

C)maintain mental alertness through specific training

D)maintain a balance between individual and group activities

40.What is the passage mainly about?

A)How biochemical changes occur in the human brain.

B)Why people should keep active not only physically but also mentally.

C)How intellectual activities influence brain-cell health.

D)Why people should receive special mental training as they age.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage One

【文章大意】第一段提出观点：未来派诗歌很难算作文学。二、三段讲未来派诗歌的缘起，主要特点和其所谓的文学主张，最后一段讲尽管人们都承认感情变了，文学表达形式也要变，但关键是我们人类本质没有发生什么变化。文章是典型的议论文。一段提出论点，二三段提出论据，最后一段论证提出的论点。

21.C 由文章第一段的第一句可知，作者认为当一种新的艺术形式成为一种时尚时，

人们不应盲目追随而应思考其倡导者的目的是什么。句中find out 意为“查明”，check与

之意义相近，故选择C项。

22.C 文章第二段告诉我们，未来主义者认为整个社会的节奏在不断加快，随着生活

的变化，文学的形式也需要有所改变。这一段第三句中的 a new form of expression 指的

就是“一种新的文学形式”，所以本题应选C。A、D两项原文未提及，B项太笼统。

23.C 由原文第一段的最后一句可知，作者认为即使我们承认未来派诗歌有正确的理

论基础，但它还是不能被看作是文学。这里理解的关键在于否定副词hardly，它可被同义词

scarcely代替，故C正确。A、B两项不是原文提供的信息，D项所述内容与原文不符。



24.A A项体现了未来派诗人要求变革文学形式的主张，与原文第二段所述内容一致，

所以是正确答案。B、C两项原文未提及，D项所述内容与原文不符。

25.B 原文第一段和最后一段中都出现了“未来诗歌简直不能被归类为文学”这样一

句话，这正体现了作者的观点，同时也表明文章的主题是对未来诗歌进行评价。

Passage Two

【文章大意】第一段说明对城市流动性的研究社会学、经济学和地理学都有各自不同的

观点和角度。虽然三种研究有重叠，但通过研究方法和使用概念即可分出是哪一种研究。第

二段说明城市流动性这一概念的起源。流动性的影响，包括对城市居民的负面影响和对农村

人口的吸引力，但同时也是造成人与人之间的疏离及相互间利用关系的源头。

 

26.A 本题的答案是第一段的第三句话：地理学家们研究这种不固定性是为了了解人

口种类在地域上的分布。本题四个选项中只有A项与上述原文的内容相一致，因此是答案。



27.A 详见第一段最后一句。根据原文…it is often difficult to discern the disciplinary origins of a researcher by sole examming the kinds of questions he or

she raises about mobility...可以推知A项为答案。

28.B 见原文第二段第二句。Some sociologists refer to the mobility of the city as ...,a sort of sensory overload which produces sophistication,indifference,

and a lowered level of affection in urban dwellers.在此句中列举的 sophistication(世故)，indifference(冷漠)，和lowered level of affection(情感变得淡薄)都是人类性格上的弱点，而这一切都是由sensory overland 造成(produces)的，显然B项是答案。

29.C 在原文的倒数第二句中，作者谈到都市生活的特殊性质造成了社会中的道德沦

丧和情感疏远，使得人与人之间的交往变成了一种实现目的(ends)的手段(means)而非目的

本身。选项C与此意相符合，故而是答案。

30.A 根据spontaneous和natural出现的上下文可以知道，都市生活充满了刺激变化

，在如此令人疲于奔命的快节奏的生活中，都市人的能力已经降低，只能以一种“本能的”

，“自然的”方式来对生活作出低级反应，也即已没有能力或精力用大脑进行思考，创造性

地迎接生活的挑战。A项符合上述分析，为答案。

Passage Three

【文章大意】第一段叙述了“straw vote”非正式投票的起源和特点。第二段讲述多家杂志，报社参于组织投票，当时的观念是被调查者越多，结果越准确。三、四段讲述年轻美国记者乔治·盖洛普打破传统错误观念推行不重人数，而重调查样本代表性的新式调查法并击败传统调查法取得成功的过程。总之本文叙述了以前的民意测验的特点和弊端及新的盖洛普民意测验法的优点。

31.B 文章的第一段告诉我们，最初的选举前的民意测验反映的仅仅是地方性的局部

意见，由此可见它们在反映民意方面是不够准确的。

32.D 从文章第二段可知，这些调查共同的特点是重量不重质，错误地认为发出去的

问卷越多结果就越准确，而且调查的对象缺乏广泛性。由此可见，A、B、C三项都是这些民

意调查的特点，而D项既不符合事实，也谈不上是什么特点。

33.A 由文章第四段可知，盖洛普花了很长时间才说服35位报纸编辑采用他的调查方

法。由此可断定，对他的方法编辑们起初是持怀疑态度的。B项不符合事实，C项和D项在文中也找不到依据。

34.D 盖普洛当时只是个年轻的记者，费了很大劲才说服别人采用他的调查方法，所

以A项是不正确的。文中虽然两次提到《文摘》月刊保持和打破纪录，但也不能由此推断它

喜欢破纪录，所以B项也不正确。C项在文中找不到依据，所以也不对。只有D项是正确的推论，因为文章第二段的最后一句告诉我们，《文摘》对1932年选举的预测误差仅为百分之一，而且第四段又说编辑们给盖洛普提的条件是如果他的预测不如《文摘》准确，他就得掏钱负担整个调查的费用，可见《文摘》采用的方法是为大多数人所接受的。

35.C 看懂文章的最后一句话即确定正确答案是C。whereas Gallup’s was off by less than 1 percent 意为“而盖洛普的预测误差不到百分之一”。

 

Passage Four

【文章大意】说明脑力活动有益于身心健康。第一段讲研究者认为不论年龄多大人们用

脑时，

脑内出现的生理变化会使人的注意力和记忆力增强。二段讲人们只要经常用脑，即使年老也

会比不用脑的年轻人聪明。三段讲一些专家亲自尝试这一理论。四段强调老年人除了活动身

体，更要经常使用大脑。这样不仅可以保持智力水平，更可使身心愉快。总之，全文说明了

我们不论年龄大小都应勤用脑，多用脑，这不仅可使我们更聪明，更让我们心情愉快。



36.C 参见第二段，第二句中的doing指从事第一句的if 从句中描述的脑力活动，这

些活动将使人alert and receptive,而本句中进一步说这样做的人将more cognitively sou

nd。sound和本项的healthy是同义词。第三段中的引语说明只要常动脑就行，并不要求老人做智力要求高的事，故A、B两项皆错。D项中信息文中没提到。

37.B A项错，因在第三段的直接引语中，Fozard已指出持续做记忆方面的活动没有必

要。C项错，因为第三段的直接引语中说，Such specific training is of less interest

than being able to maintain mental alterness可见specific training无必要。D项也错，因文中只有better adjusted,没提任何frequent adjustments.

38.D 参见第三段第一句，句中putting the theory to work in their own lives意

为“让理论在自己的生活中发挥作用”。A项错，因这个理论已在研究者们自己的生活实践

中证明了。B项错，因文中只提到要challenge the brain,没提到来自任何人的对该发现的

挑战。C项也错，因本文报导一个新发现，未谈到已被普遍接受。

39.A 从第四段第二句可知，多做体育活动是对老年人的一个普遍建议。B项错，因为

多用脑是本文报导的老龄问题专家们的新观点，还不是老年人普遍了解的建议。C项错，因

为本文中的专家亦反对specific training(参见第三段)。D项也错，因在第四段虽提到类似观点，但还没成为老年人普遍得到的建议。

40.B 全文都体现这一观点，最后一段是对这一概括的极好支持。A项错，因为在大脑

里生化变化的发生过程不是本文讨论的主题。C项错，因为文中没详述智力活动对脑细胞健康的影响，只在最后由专家提到这一点，作为对他自己观点的支持。D项错，因为文中说专家亦反对搞专门智力训练(参阅第三段中间)。

，talk down 意为“把人驳得无言以对”，talk out 意为“对问题作彻底考虑”，talk round 意为“说服”。

46.A 译文：由于双方都不愿意让步，讨论没有达成任何协议。解析：the other

和the others 为特指，前者为“两者中的另一个”，“某一整体中其余的部分”。any other 表示一个之外的其它任何一个，而不是两个中的另一个。

47.D 译文：我捡起苹果，其中有些摔得很厉害。解析：some of which 意为“其

中的一些……”引导的定语从句修饰apples，对其补充说明。

53.B 译文：我宁愿你对我讲话时礼貌点。

54.D 译文：他们指望期终考试前有更多复习时间。

解析：except后可以跟宾语从句或动词

不定式。据本题分析，因为是“期望”的，所以还未发生。因此从句时态用将来时，根据时态一致原则，从句用过去将来时，可以说 The students expected (that) there would be

more reviewing time before the final exams. 如果用不定式则可以说 The students expected there to be more reviewing time before the final exams.但不能用动名词，综合以上分析，只有D项是正确的。

59.A 译文：你为什么会上课迟到这么久呢? 解析：A.it that,it作句子形式主语

　

，that和后边部分组成that从句，作主句的真正主语，结构完整为正确答案。B.that it,it 不能用来引导从句，故不能选。C.it,此处that不可省。D.that,句子结构不完整。

62.C 译文：如果阿拉斯加没有卖给美国的话，那么现在那儿(的人)应该说俄语。

63.B 译文：她是在进行彻底的调查之后，才逐渐了解事件的真相。

解析：很明显此处为 It was...that...强调结构。

64.D 译文：你试过买桔子汁，而不是挤自己的桔子吗？

意，是正确答案。A.examining out 此搭配少见；B.popping up 突然出现；D.practicing on 利用(别人的弱点等)，欺骗某人。均与题意无关。

Part Ⅴ Writing

The Role of Science and Technology in Modern Life

Human life can not continue without science and technology.In fact,the advancement of human society has always depended upon the development of science and technology.As a result,the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our forefather’s.

This development of science and technology has brought about many changes in people’s life,For example,the invention of television has opened a new era for mankind.We can now view events which are happening thousands of miles away.

Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction.Our socialist construction is just like a skyscraper,while science and technology are its base.Without the base,the skyscraper cannot be built.Therefore,we should try our best to further developing science and technology so as to lay a more solid base for our socialist construction.
