一、总则

国家教育部高教司在“关于印发《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》（试行）的通知”[(2000)57号文件]中指出，高职高专教育以培养学生实际运用语言能力为目标，突出教学内容的实用性和针对性；针对目前高职高专学生入学水平参差不齐的情况，实行统一要求、分级指导的原则。《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求》（以下简称《基本要求》）对英语教学提出了应达到的合格要求，把教学和测试分为A、B两级。B级是过渡要求，A级是标准要求。

There are many different forms of exercise to 22 different tastes. For example, those who enjoy 23 sports may take up ball games. If they 24 exercise alone, they can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. 25 , people can go swimming in the summer and go skating in the winter. 26 , no matter what their interests are, people can always find one or more sports that are, people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.

Part Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the first three passages 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. Answer the questions on the fourth passage.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.

Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming the climate change, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class”of ’ 91?

There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Accidents are the major cause of death for all young people under 35. They are the fourth most frequent cause of death for all age groups in the U. S. —fourth only to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Each year thousands of Americans lost their lives in accidents, and thousands are permanently crippled.

By far the most common types of home accidents are falls. Each year over ten thousand Americans meet death in this way, within the four walls of their home, or in yards around their house. Nine out of ten of the victims are over 65. But people of all ages experience serious injuries as a result of home falls. It is impossible to guess how many injuries result from falls, but they must run into millions.

Falls can be a problem for all ages. In the process of growing up, children or teenagers often will fall. Fortunately their bodies are springy, so they may suffer only skinned knees, bumps and bruises. But in an older person, the same fall may cause a broken arm, leg, and hip or other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care. As a person grows older, he may not fall any more often, but the result usually are more serious and may even be fatal.

Preschool children are often killed by falls from open windows and porches. Their normal curiosity and the urge to climb lead them to dangerous heights. Therefore, it is a parent’s duty to keep small children away from stairways, open windows and porch railing. Gates, bars, and other means of protection should be used whenever possible.

Adults fall because they don’t look where they are going. Running or taking two steps at a time invites falls. In trying to save an extra trip up the stairs by loading his arms with bundles or boxes that keep him from seeing where he is going, an adult may find it safer to make an extra trip.

36. The most common type of home accidents is .

A. choking

B. falling

C. drowning

D. burning

37. In this passage the author states that .

A. seat belts save lives

B. most accidents are avoidable

C. heart disease is the greatest killer of Americans

D. the death rate from work-related injuries is increasing

38. Most victims of falls are at least 65 years of age because .

A. old people fall more often than younger people

B. bones become stiff and brittle with age

C. elderly people take unnecessary risks

D. old people don’t look where they are going as a result of poor eyesight

39. Adults are injured in falls as a result of .

A. boldness（勇敢）

B. dizziness（晕眩）

C. carelessness

D. weakness

40. From the page we may conclude that .

A. as a cause of death in America, accidents rank first

B. the risk of accidents increases with a person’s age

C. the head is injured more than any other part of the body

D. most people do not realize how serious falls can be

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Each year millions of people suffer from the effect of alcohol and drug abuse, getting into illness, crime and death.

In the United States alone, 10 to 12 million men and women and their loved ones and families suffer from alcohol. Additional millions abuse alcohol at great cost in health and in lost productivity.

In Canada, it is said, “Alcohol increases business—for hospitals, ambulance drivers, doctors, and nurses.”

Alcohol abuse and dangerous drugs have swept through Europe. Soviet culture, too, is paying enormous social and economic costs.

Developing nations are bothered by drup problems—both ancient and modern. In this part of the world hundreds of millions request doctor to ease their miseries and problems in life.

These methods of coping are unhealthy solutions! It is time we understood why and found the way out of today’s greatest social problem surrounding this supposedly advanced 20th century.

41. This passage is primarily about .

A. the worldwide drug and alcohol abuse

B. the greatest social problem in Europe

C. the methods of coping with alcohol abuse

D. the enormous cost in health and in lost productivity

42. How many people in the United States have suffered form alcohol abuse?

C. 10 to 12 million people and their families.

D. Hundreds of millions.

43. Which of the following Statements is NOT true?

A. Alcohol and drug abuse is becoming a burning question.

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.

I have been studying optimists（乐观主义者）and pessimists（悲观主义者）for the past 25 years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this case. The optimists believe defeat is not fault; circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are not bothered by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.

These two habits about thinking about causes have consequences. Literally hundreds of studies show that pessimists give up more easily and get depressed more often. These experiments also show that optimists do much better in school and at work. They regularly exceed the predictions of aptitude tests. When optimists run for office, they are more apt to be elected than pessimists are. Their health is unusually good. Evidence suggests they may even live longer.

Twenty-five years of study has convinced me that if we habitually believe, as does the pessimist, that misfortune is our fault, is enduring, and will undermine everything we do, more of it will happen to us if we believe otherwise. I am also convinced that if we are in the grip of this view, we will even get physically sick more often. Pessimistic prophecies（预言）are self-fulfilling.

Questions:

46. What has the author been doing in the past 25 years?

47. What is the striking characteristic of the pessimist?

48. What is typical of the optimist?

49. The consequence of the pessimist doing is that .

50. So, we can come to the conclusion that .

Hobbies

Hobbies are activities in which one participates strictly for amusement. A hobby can be almost anything. Music is most popular. Many people play musical instruments. They play simply for fun in their free hours. Sports provide other favorite hobbies. Bicycling, skating, tennis and countless other sports are enjoyed by millions of people.

Some people collect things as a hobby. Stamps, coins, and paintings are all popular collections, and valuable, too. There are still hundreds of others, not necessarily valuable but still interesting, such as seashell collections, bottle collections, and so on. Gardening and cooking are two examples of common activities that become hobbies for many people. They devote a great deal of their spare time to them.

My hobby is playing guitar. I have been playing it since my first year in collage. I like to sing along when I play, too. My friends tell me that I am very good at it, but I don’t know whether it is true. To me it is just an enjoyable hobby.

PartⅡ. Reading comprehension

Directions: There are 4passages in this part. Each of the first three passages 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. Answer the questions on the four passages.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and monner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person hisand what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall im pression of each person we meet-an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and resulits point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging.

Expressed very simply our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged to gether—but with some facts, or input receiving greater sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influedced to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders ( whether respectfully or not ) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing(发人深思) an-swers.

26. This passage is mainly about_______.

A. how our first impressions are expressed.

B. how our first impressions are formed.

C. how we can favorably impress others.

D. how first impression affect our lives.

27. According to the passage, the first impression is_______.

A. the result of quick look.

B. not based on enough information.

C. a combination of pieces of information.

D. the observation of what a person does.

28. Research has shown that first impressions are generally more influenced by______.

A. the way others spesk.

B. appearance and styule of dress.

C. all information we have.

D. certain types of information at hand.

29. The word “weight”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.

A. amount B. research

C. importanceD. burden

30. The following paragraph will most probably siscuss______.

A. wrong first impression of other people.

B. selected information for forming first impression.

C. the importance of first impression in job situation.

D. ways of making good first impression.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the follwing passage.

It is plain that in the year 2020 everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has to-day.

There will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics.

We are only beginning to learn that we can control ourbiological environment as well as our physical world population: by Malthus in about 1800’by Cripples in about 1900. it was and the second time by using the new fertilizers. In the year 2020, starvation will be headed off by the control of the dis-eases and the herdity(遗传) of plants and animals –by shaping our own biological environment.

Now I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine—the operator. By the year 2020, the repedtitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were over long ago; and the mental tedium(乏味) will go the way of physi cal exhaustion. Thoday we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled; but in the year 2020 all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change; it is as inevitable as the year 2020 itself.

31. The article was written to _______.

A. warn us of the impending(即将发生) starvation

B. present facts about life in the near future

C. oppose biological advances

D. warn of the evil side of automation

32. Advances in biological knowledge

A. can be predictedB. is unavoidable

C. can be preventedD. is mainly caused by poor agriculture

34. Repetitive tasks in industry lead to _________.

A. physical exhaustionB. mental stimulation

C. mental exhaustionD. extinction

35. If the predictions of the writer are realized, the demand for the unskilled workers in 21st century will be_________.

A. very highB. very low

C. the same as todayD. constantly rising

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passge.

Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people’s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones ), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychologecal problems. However psychologists distinguish between“sound”and “noise”.“Sound”is measured physically in decibels.“Noise”cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity”depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not botered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones listening to music that they ecjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds that they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.

36. According to the passage people_________.

A. can not work better in a noisy situation

B. will suffer from complete deafness because of noise pollution

C. can be psychologically affected by working in very noisy factories

D. may cooperate well in a noisy surrounding

37. “Sound”, as defined by the psychologist，_________.

A. can be measured in the same way that “noise” in measured

B. may be extremely harmful to health

C. is not at all different from “noise”

D. can be measured by machines

38. Peple waiting at an airport_________.

A. enjoy hearing airplanes taking off and landing

B. are usually not troubled by the noise

C. can easily tell sound from noise

D. are often physically affected by the noise

39. People enjoy listenting to music________.

A. though they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound in fact

B. because it does not have any negative effect

C. because they do not have to tolerate the noise around them

D. even though it is sometimes unpleasant hearing strange sounds

40. We can conclude from the passage that we need to control noise pollution if__________.

A. we want to stay both psychologically and physically healthy

B. we don’t want to be physically dent(削弱)

C. we want to cooperate well

D. we don’t want to be anxious

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.

It seems to me that many British newspapers aren’t really newspaper at all. They contain news. It is true, but much of this news only appears in print because it is guaranteed to shock, surprise appears in print because it is guaranteed to shock, surprise or cause a chuckle(轻声笑).

What should we expect to find in a real newspaper? Interesting political articles? Accurate report of what has been happening in distant corners of the world？ Full coverage of great sporting event? In depth interviews with leading personalities? It is a sad fact that in Britain the real newspapers, the ones that reort the facts, sell in thousands, while the popular papers that set out to shock or amuse have a circulation of several million. One inescapable(不可避免) conclusion is that the vast majority of British readers do not really want a proper newspaper at all. They just want a few pages of entertainment.

I buy the same newspaper every day. In this paper, political matters, both British and foreign, are covered in full. The editorial column may support government policy on one issue and oppose it on another. There is a full page of book reviews and quoted daily. So are the exchange rates of the world’s major currencies. The sports correspondents are among the best in the country, while the standard of the readers’ letters in absolutely first class.

If an intelligent person were to find a copy of this paper 50 years from now. he or she would still find it entertaining, interesting and instructive.

So my favorite newspaper is obviously very different from those popular papers that have a circulation of several million. But that does not mean that it is “better” or that they are “worse”. Weare not comparing like with dislike. A publisher printing a newspaper with a circulation of several million is running a highly successful commercial operation. The people who buy this product are obviously satisfied customers and in a free society everybody should have the right to buy whatever kind of newspaper he pleases.

41. What kind of news can be found most in the newspaper with a circulation of several millions?

42. What does the author conclude about the British readers?

43. What is the attiude of the author toward the popular papers?

44. What kind of newspaper does the author always buy?

45. What’s the best title for the passage?
