Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage. Want to see a good film – without leaving the house? Well, just switch on the television. That’s fine for most of us, but people couldn’t do so 20 or 30 years ago. A visit to the cinema was “an evening out,” a film was something special. Young people still go to the cinema often. Children watch a lot of television. Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives. So it is surprising how little film education there is in schools. Why don’t more children learn how films are made, and why they are made? The best film education is when children make a film of their own. This is not too difficult. Three things are important – the cost, the idea of the film, and organization. A 4-minute film can cost as little asよ 10. Schools can hire the necessary equipment. They can also borrow films that other children have made. This helps them to see what is possible in a short film. Children will be making the film, so the main ideas for the film must come form them. When these have been agreed, the organization begins. Someone must Write the film and plan the filming. Some children will be actors, others camera men, lighting men, technicians and so on. They all have to practice a lot before the film itself is made. They learn a great deal about the technical problems of films, and about themselves. 33. A film was once something special because ________. A) people had to go to the cinema B) television was not so popular as now C) people didn’t have to leave the house D) there weren’t many films 20 or 30 years ago 34. The word “This” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) refers to ________. A) getting the idea of a film B) learning how to make films C) organizing filming activities D) making a film by children themselves 35. It is good for children to make their own films at school because A) they can learn a lot about filming C) they can entertain themselves B) they like films and film stars D) they want to become film stars 36. The author writes this passage mainly to tell us ________. A) the low cost of making films B) the important things in making films C) why and how to make films in schools D) whether to offer children film education 37. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A) children can benefit a lot from making films B) it is necessary for children to go to the cinema C) children spend too much time watching TV D) it is difficult for children to make films of their own Passage Two Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage. What is happening in our weather? Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world. For example, droughts (旱灾) in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics! Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means that different regions of the world get long spells (持续时间) of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy. However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature. Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we cannot make changes which might help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see ! 38. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A) We have never predicted the weather B) Man is now able to control the weather C) Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countries D) It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately. 39. The strange weather patterns on the earth can be best described as ________. A) steady and balanced C) likely to cause serous disasters B) changeable but predictable D) unpredictable but favorable to man 40. The word “affecting” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ________. A) yielding good crops in C) causing few losses in B) having harmful effects on D) producing desired effects on 41. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. A) weather patterns are similar in different regions of the world B) the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the last century C) our weather depends on the changes in the air circulation pattern D) it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long period of time 42. It can be learned from this passage that ________. A) scientists have similar opinions about the changing weather B) no one is sure about the cause of the changing weather C) cutting down forests has affected the climate D) the weather will become worse in the future Passage Three Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage. The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty. The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world. That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before. The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country – especially through education and health programs. The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs. The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations, where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and baby and child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can read than in the past. However, protesters have held large demonstrations at recent World Band meetings. Opponents say Bank programs make industrial nations richer and developing nations poorer. Others say the organization’s activities result in environmental damage. 43. The World Bank aims mainly at ________. A) helping poor countries better their living conditions B) becoming the largest supplier of development assistance C) paying debts for some of the poorest countries in the world D) providing loans for developing countries in order to make profits 44. Last year the World Bank offered debt assistance to ________. A) fewer poor countries C) more rich countries B) fewer rich countries D) more poor countries 45. Which of the following is probably NOT the way that the World Bank helps a country? A) Creating health programs. C) Educating the people B) Providing technical help D) Making profits in the country. 46. According to the passage, opponents criticize the World Band because ________. A) it has helped the rich countries a great deal B) it has cared too much about the poor countries C) it has widened the economic gaps between rich and poor countries D) it has caused most of the world environmental pollution 47. This passage is manly about ________. A) the management of the World Band B) the assistance programs of the World Band C) the achievements of the World Bank D) the organization activities of the World Bank Passage Four Question 48 to 52 are based on the following passage. He is a good observe, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observes obtain a very large amount of information about a star (e.g. distance, mass, size, rate of movement etc.) mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱). He is skeptical (怀疑的) he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available – and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to prove them. Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation. Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses（假设）of how processes work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist thinks and acts. 48. What quality of a good observer is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1? A) Intelligence. B) Patience. C) Persistence. D) Objectivity. 49. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a scientist believes that A) no statements can be proved true B) all statements may be misleading C) authority is the sole basis for truth D) authority does not necessarily mean truth 50.

A) aware of his own findings C) liable to be wrong B) likely to be criticized D) capable of being entirely objective 52. The word “imaginative” (Line 1, Paragraph 4 ) most probably means . A) accurate and objective C) curious and serious B) creative and inventive D) skeptical and critical Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.
