Each passage is followed by five 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 singer line through the centre. Passage 1 Anthropology(人类学)is the study of how people live. It includes their family life, religion, laws and language. The term “anthropology” comes from two Greek words:“anthropos” means “human being” and “logy” means “the science of”. Anthropology can be divided into two areas. These two main divisions are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology. Anthropologists define human progress in three main steps. Step one begins with the first human being and continues until the last of people who hunted animals just to survive .Step two includes people who grew food. In this step, there was progress in invention and religion. Step three deals with first civilization, such as those in Egypt and parts of Asia. Anthropologists always seek new information about people .For instance, recent evidence found in Ethiopia and Kenya shows humans earlier in history than it was previously believed. 41.According to the passage, anthropology is study of________ A. family life, religion and art B. the differences between science and arts C. human beings D. different cultures 42.Which of the following belongs to the second step of human progress? A. Progress was made in religion and invention B. Humans hunted animals just to survive C. The first civilization came into being. D. People started to learn science and arts 43.Which of the following statements is TURE? A. Furniture and movies belong to physical anthropology. B.

There are three step in the progress of human beings. D. There is a longer history of human beings than it was thought before. 45.Which could be the best title for the passage? A. Anthropology B. The Progress of Human Beings C. The Civilizations D. The Study of Anthropologists Passage 2 The legal limit for driving after drinking is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood in the U.S. When tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, sex, and the sort of drinks you have had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks. In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you're below the legal limit, you can still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol. It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you are still over the legal limit. In addition, if you have had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit. In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive through a set of moveable posts in the driving test... and the less able they were to do it! So the only way to be sure you're safe is not to drink at all. Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young people. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit. It is important to remember that driving after drinking doesn't just affect you. If you are involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, at least the person you might kill or injure. 46.The amount of alcohol one can drink before reaching the legal limit________. A. is 80 milligrams of pure alcohol B. is bout three standard drinks C. is different for different people C. is not related to one’s body weight 47.When might you be taken to court by the police for drinking and driving? A. When you have driven a vehicle after drinking any alcohol at all. B. When you have had at least three drinks before driving. C. Only when you tests show that you have 80 milligrams of alcohol at all. D. When the police think that you r driving is affected by alcohol. 48.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TURE? A. When you have been drinking heavily in the evening, you might be still over the legal limit the next morning. B. The more alcoholic drinks the drivers have had, the more likely they are to pass the driving test. C. If you have had a standard drink, you may drive an hour later. D. If you want to drive safely, you had better not drink at all. 49.Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents in that________. A. most drivers who die in these accidents have been drinking B. more young people die in drink-related accidents than in any other way C. drinking affects people’s blood alcohol concentration D. one in three drivers drink heavily 50.What does this article urge you to remember about driving after drinking?

Passage 3 On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went her handbag some money and her key in it, pulled the door behind her to lock it and went to the over 60s Club. She always went there on Thursday. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone. At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry. Over a cup of tea she was wondering whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door—“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that, dressed as usual, she went out at her usual time, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait. It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter-box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet. 51.Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because__________. A(she worked at a club on the day B(she lived alone C(she visited a club on Thursdays D(a special visitor came on Thursday Clarke 52.If someone had made a forced entry,________.

The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. 56. The first paragraph points out that________. A. there are many disabled people in the world B. the number of disabled people in India is the biggest C. India has many more disabled people than Canada D. it is easy to get an exact number of the world's disabled people 57.The last paragraph focuses on_________. A. disability B. ignorance C. is included D. is numbered 58. The last word “counts” most probably means “________.” A. is important B. is considered C. is included D. is numbered 59.Which of the following statements is NOT TURE? A. Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older. B. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the United Kingdom. C. The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by disabled people. F. There still exits prejudice against the disabled that is easy to break down. 60. It can be concluded from the passage that________. A. we should try our best to prevent disability B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down C. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabled D. the able-bodied people will fully understand the disabled Part III Cloze Test(20 points) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

If we don’t work hard or try our best, it is very likely that we will fail in what we do. Sometimes, even when we have already worked hard enough and made every effort, still we may end in failure. Probably it is fair to say that every one has experienced some failure. People have different attitude towards failure. Some people get very discouraged when they fail, as if there would be no other way out. Others believe failure can be instructive as they can learn from it. If they don’t give up and ;earn their lesson from their past failures, they will succeed eventually. I believe it is normal that we may fail since failure is part of our life. It is encouraging if we can succeed; however, it is more important that we should not give up if we fail. We should develop our capacity to learn from failures. By doing so, we will definitely succeed in the end. 【评分参考】 ?文章切题，达思想清楚，文字通顺，连贯性较好，基本上无语言错误，字数 在120个单词以上，得17~20分。 ?文章切题，表达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量无语言错误，字数在110~120 个单词之间，得14~16分。 ?文章基本切题，表达思想比较清楚，文字上连贯，但语言错误较多，其中有少 量严重错误，字数在100个词左右，得10~13分。 ?文章基本切题，表达思想不够清楚，文字连贯性差，有较多严重的语言错误， 字数在80个词左右，得6~9分。 ?文章基本不切题，条理不清，思路紊乱，语言支离破碎或大部分句子都有错误， 且较多为严重错误，得1~5分。 ? 交白卷者，或文章与题目毫不相关，得0分。
