Part II Error
Correction (10 points, 1×10)

are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a
word add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections
in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the
correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark
(∧) in the right place
and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and
put a slash (/) in the blank. Write your answers on
the answer sheet.

【答案与解析】

1 had→has

（时间状语now提示这里应用现在时，所以had改为has。）

2 directly→indirectly

（句意：现在人类有能力离开地球，到达以前只是间接了解到的世界。）

3 into→onto/on

（into表示到……内。on表示在……表面。我们常说地球表面，行星也一样，因此用on。）

4 too→so

（so…as
to太……以至于。）

5 planet→planets

（other后跟不可数名词或可数名词复数。）

6 head→mind

（keep…in
mind固定搭配，记住。）

7 little→much

（上段we must keep in mind the billions
of dollars we might spend in carrying out the project，说明将过多人口转移到月球上的项目将要花费几十亿美元。说明我们将投入巨资在太空探索项目上。）

8 consider→considering

（considering在句首引导句子，意为考虑到……。）

9 they→they

（money and resources在后面的定语从句中做主语，关系代词that指代的就是money and resources。因此不需要they。）

10 arriving→arriving at (或 reaching)

（arrive为不及物动词。arrive at表示达成（协议）；作出（决议）；得出（结论）等。reach a
conclusion表示得出结论。）

points, 0.5 X 20)

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there
are four choices marked A, B, C and D on the right side of the paper. You
should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Write
your answers on the answer sheet.

Most people
would be 1 by the high quality of medicine 2 to most Americans. There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of 3 to the individual, a4amount of advanced
technical equipment, and 5 effort not to make
mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must 6 in the courts if they 7 things badly.

But the
Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in 8 health
care is organized and 9. 10 to
public belief it is not just a free competition system. The private system has
been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not 11 the less fortunate and the elderly.

But even with
this huge public part of the system, 12 this
year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars—more than 10 per cent of the U.S.
budget—large numbers of Americans are left 13. These
include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the
strict limits 14 income fixed by a government
trying to make savings where it can.

The basic
problem, however, is that there is no central control l5 the
health system. There is no 16 to what doctors
and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to
pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with
toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person
concerned can do is 17 up.

Two-thirds of
the population 18 covered by medical insurance.
Doctors charge as much as they want 19 that the insurance
company will pay the bill.

The rising cost
of medicine in the U.S. is among the most worrying problems facing the country.
In 1981 the country’s health bill climbed 15.9 percent—about twice as fast as
prices 20 general.

【答案与解析】

1 B  impress给……留下深刻印象。由本句中的high quality可知这里的动词应是表示肯定意义的词。compress压缩。obsess迷住，该词太过夸张。repress压制(感情等)；镇压。

2 A  be available to可供……利用，可获得的。

3 C  这里表示对个人的关心。attention注意，关心。extension 延长，延续；推迟。retention保留，保持。exertion努力，尽力；发挥，运用。

4 D  vast巨大的。可以用来形容体积，数量，程度，及强度。近义词enormous。比如：vast amounts of investment巨额的投资。 countless无数的，修饰可数名词。titanic 巨大的，常形容体积。broad宽的，宽广的。

5 C  intense与intensive都可表示强烈的，集中的。但两者意思上有差别。当用来描述人的感情或活动时，intense 通常指由内在倾向而来的力量或专心，它特别适于描写感情状态，如intense pleasure/dislike/loyalty。而intensive更常用于指行为的强度和程度是由外部强加的：intensive bombing强烈的爆炸，intensive training密集的训练。所以形容efforts时，用intense更为合适。

6 C  句意：如果医生和医院未恰当处理问题，就会被告上法庭，面临财务上的危机。face面临。run
into遇到（问题、困难等）。come
into进入。defy违逆，违抗。

7 D  handle处理。treat治疗。deal表示处理时，必须与with连用。maneuver操纵。

8 A  定语从句先行词为the way时，关系代词用in which/that/省略。

9 B  finance和organize是并列关系，用其过去分词形式。finance给…提供资金。

10 A  be
contrary to与……相反。oppose反对。averse不愿意的；反对的。object to反对。

11 C  句意：私人医疗并不是为那些没钱的人和老人服务的。look
after照顾。

12 A  Which引导一个非限定性定语从句，修饰名词this huge public part of the system。非限定性定语从句不能用that修饰。

13 B  leave out忽略，不考虑。

14 D  limit一般与on搭配，表示对……的限制。

15 A  control与over搭配，表示对……的控制。

16 D  limit 指时、空、程度、量等方面的“限定”，其内涵是如果超出了这种限度就会受罚或遭到令人不快的后果。此外，这个词也常用来表示局限。There is no limit to…固定句型，表示对……没有限制。

17 A  动词不定式作表语。

18 B  population指某国或某区域的人口总数时，谓语动词用单数形式。当指人口的一部分，即用百分数修饰时，谓语动词用复数形式。另外因为是一般事实，用一般现在时。

19 A  非谓语know与主语doctors是主动关系，因此用现在分词形式。

20 A  in general总的来说，一般来讲。

Part IV Reading
comprehension (40 points)

Section A (30 points,
2×15))

Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. 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. Write your answers on the answer sheet.

Passage One

How should one
read a book? In the first place, I want to emphasize the question mark at the
end of my beginning sentence. Even if I could answer the question for myself,
the answer would apply only to me and not to you. The only advice, indeed, that
one person can give another about reading is to take no advice, to follow your
own instincts, to use your own reason, to come to your own conclusion. If this
is agreed between us, then I feel at liberty to put forward a few ideas and
suggestions because you will not allow them to restrict that independence which
is the most important quality that a reader can possess. After all, what laws
can be laid down about books? The battle of Waterloo was certainly fought on a
certain day; but is Hamlet a better play than Lear? Nobody can say. Each must
decide that question of himself. To admit authorities. however heavily furred
and gowned into our libraries and let them tell us how to read, what to read,
what value to place upon what we read, is to destroy the spirit of freedom
which is the breath of those sanctuaries. Everywhere else we may be bound by
laws and conventions—there we have none.

But to enjoy
freedom, if this old statement is pardonable, we have of course to control
ourselves we must not waste our powers, helplessly and ignorantly. Spraying
water around half the house in order to water a single rose-bush; we must train
them, exactly and powerfully, here on the very spot. This, it may be, is one of
the first difficulties that faces us in a library. What is “the very spot”?
There may well seem to be nothing but a conglomeration and huddle of confusion.
Poems and novels, histories and memoirs, dictionaries and blue-books;
books written in all languages by men and women of all tempers, races, and ages
jostle each other on the shelf. And outside the donkey brays, the women gossip
at the pump, the colts gallop across the fields. Where are we to begin? How are
we to bring order into this multitudinous chaos and get the deepest and widest
pleasure from what we read?

1 Which of the following is true about the
question raised at the beginning of the passage?

A. The author
does have a universally correct answer to the question.

B. The author
implies that she is not interested in the question.

C. The author
thinks there may be different answers to the question.

D. The author
wonders if there is any point in asking the question.

2 A good reader should, according to the
author, be able to _____.

A. maintain his
own viewpoints concerning reading

B. take advice
from everybody instead of any one person

C. share his
experiences ill reading with others

D. take the
suggestions other people give him

3 In comparing Hamlet with Lear, the
author means that _____.

A. Hamlet is
better than Lear

B. Hamlet is no
any better than Lear

C. Both plays
are good works

D. There is no
way to tell which is better

4 To the author, the advice in reading
given by authorities is _____.

A. the most
important for readers

B. unlikely to
be helpful to readers

C. our guidance
in choosing what to read

D. only useful
in the libraries

5 What is “one of the first difficulties
that face us in a library?” (Paragraph 2)

A. We may become
too excited to be quiet in the library.

B. We do not
make best use of the library books.

C. We may get
totally lost as to what to choose to read.

D. We cannot
concentrate on our reading in the library.

【答案与解析】

1 C  由第一段第三句Even if I could answer the question for myself, the answer would
apply only to me and not to you.可知，对于这个问题作者有自己的答案，但只适用于他本人，并不适用于别人。说明这个问题的答案因人而异。

2 A  由第一段第四句The only advice, indeed, that one person can give another about
reading is to take no advice, to follow your own instincts, to use your own
reason, to come to your own conclusion.可知作者认为阅读时不要听别人的建议，应跟随自己的直觉，运用自己的理性头脑，得出自己的结论。也就是说作者要有自己独立的见解。

3 D  由该句后面两句Nobody can say. Each must decide that question of himself.可知作者认为对于像“戏剧《哈姆雷特》是否比《李尔王》好”这种问题，个人心中自有答案，所以没法判断哪个更好。

4 B  由第一段倒数第二句可知，阅读时听官方建议只会毁掉自由的理念。说明作者对此持否定态度，所以A、D排除。D项“只在图书馆有用处”并未提到。

5 C  综合第二段内容可知，作者认为图书馆中书的种类过于繁多，以至于不知道Where are we to begin该怎么开始。说明作者认为在图书馆最大的困难是不知道读哪些书。

Passage Two

Let us suppose
that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read
any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take
your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable
for them? If your answer to these questions is “yes”, then you are extremely
permissive. If your answer is “no”, then you are exercising your right as a
parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable
influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting
that there is a strong ease for censorship.

Now, of course,
you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned
and quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is
the parents’ responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren’t they
old enough to decide what is good for them? The answer is that many adults are,
but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all adults ate like you. Censorship
is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to
the common good.

Some people
think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great
book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But
we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned,
modern censors are extremely liberal in their view—Often far more liberal than
a large section of the public.

Artistic merit
is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind
that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor
are very far from being “works of art”.

When discussing
censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great
masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films
which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are
relaxed, immoral people are given a license to produce virtually anything in
the name of “art”. There is an increasing tendency to equate artistic with “pornographic”.
The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited.

One of the great
things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat
profits by corrupting the minds of others. To argue in favor of absolute
freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy.

Society would
really be the poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the
restraining influence which a censor provides.

6 Permissive parents would_____.

A. let their
children read any books they like to

B. not let their
children see any films they like to

C. not let their
children read any books without first checking their contents

D. let their
children see the films with their first checking

7 The fact that parents check the contents of the book or the film
for their children to read or see shows _____.

A. the necessity
of censorship

B. many books
and films are bad

C. children need
their parents to help them understand more

D. the parents
are permissive

8 Which of the following statements is NOT
true?

A. Some adults
can’t tell right from wrong.

B. Censorship is
compared to the law because both of them perform good service to society as a whole.

C. Censors pay
attention only to genuine works of art.

D. Censorship is
necessary because many books, plays and films are far from being “works of art”.

9 What does the word “corrupt” (Line 5,
Para 4) mean?

A. Make morally
bad.

B. Hurt.

C. Injure.

D. Damage.

10 What would be the best title of this
passage?

A. Permissive
Parents and Responsible Parents.

B. Censorship
and the law.

C. Censors
Value Artistic Merits.

D. Censorship
Performs Good Service to Society.

【答案与解析】

6 A  文章第一段第四句指出，如果你的答案是“是的”，那你就是一个极度宽容的(纵容的)家长，再结合该段第二、三句的两个问题可知，A正确。

7 A  由第一段末句可知，父母检查孩子们读的书和看的电影的内容是因为there is a strong case for censorship，所以A正确。

8 C  由文章第三段可知，审查者并不只是关注真正的艺术作品，故选C。

9 A  corrupt意为“使恶化，腐蚀”，结合本句中的关键词minds可知，只有A最符合句意。

10 D  文章以家长该不该审查子女阅读的书和观看的电影的内容这一问题引出论点——审查是必要的，并在接下来的内容中讨论了审查的必要性以及审查对社会的积极影响，所以D正确。

Passage Three

One thing the
tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are
foxes. As native as the royal family, they fled the city about centuries ago
after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is
cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved
into urban areas sound the world.

“The
number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer
Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia
Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied
the species of mammals including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar
survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s
largest populations of raccoons（浣熊）now lives in Washington D.C., and moose（驼鹿）are regularly seen wandering
into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons（游隼）dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities
to prey on pigeons.

Several changes
have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality
in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s’ pollution-control
efforts. Meanwhile rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the
edges of suburbia. In addition, conservationists have created urban wildlife
refuges.

The Greater
London Council last year spent $750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent
wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and
cleared rubble from derelict lots. As a result, pheasants now strut in the East
End and badgers scuttle across lawns near the center of town. A colony of rare
house martins nests on a window ledge beside Harrods, and one evening last year
a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.

For peregrine
falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings. By 1970 the
birds were extinct east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs
too thin to support life. That year, ornithologist Tom Cede of Cornell
University began rising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded
abundant food and contained none of the peregrine’s natural predators.

“Before
they were exterminated, some migrated to cities on their own because they bad
run out of cliff space,” Cade says, “To peregrines, buildings are just like
cliffs.” He has released about 30 birds since 1975 in New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Norfolk, and of the 20 pairs now living in the East, half are
urbanites. “A few of the young ones have gotten into trouble by falling down
chimneys and crashing into window-glass, but overall their adjustment has been
successful.”

11 The first paragraph suggests that.

A. environment
is crucial for wildlife

B. tour books
are not always a reliable source of information

C. London is a
city of fox

D. foxes are
highly adaptable to environment

12 The selection is primarily concerned
with.

A. wildlife of
all kinds returning to large cities to live

B. falcons in
New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Norfolk

C. moose
stumbling into plate-glass storefronts

D. foxes
returning to London

13 In the 4th paragraph the pheasants,
badgers, and martins etc. are mentioned to.

A. explain
their living habit

B. make known

【答案与解析】

11 A  第一段讲的是：几个世纪以前，当伦敦开始开发，污染产生后，狐狸都离开了伦敦这座城市，但如今环境变得干净了，狐狸又飞回来了。说明环境对于野生动物来说是十分重要的。

12 A  本文将的是各种回到城市生活的野生动物，包括游隼、驼鹿、狐狸。只有A项能够概括全文内容。B、C、D三项只是文章提到的部分内容。

13 C  该段中As a result一词提示，前面内容是这三种动物回到城市生活的原因，即野生动物保护区的建立。这说明了伦敦人为使城市适于野生动物居住做了努力。

14 D  该段首句Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities是本段的主题句。后面讲的就是城市的哪些改变使得野生动物回归城市。

15 B  由倒数第二段最后一句That year, ornithologist Tom Cede of Cornell University began rising
the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food and
contained none of the peregrine’s natural predators可知城市为游隼提供了充足的事物，而且城市中没有游隼的天敌。再由最后一段To peregrines, buildings are just like cliffs可知，对于游隼来说，楼房就像悬崖一样。因此B项正确。

Section B  Short
Answer Questions (10 points, 2×5)

Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or
incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or
complete the statements. Write your answers on the
answer sheet.

For many women
choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must
work to survive. Others Pace a hard decision.

Perhaps the
easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided
after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was
an extravagance we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon
became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and
increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with
less.

Economic factors
are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important.
The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs
of each member of the family. It is in this area that husband s and wives find
themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.

There are many
women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned if they have to
stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are
women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.

From my own
experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to
work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more.
I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my
impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of
watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.

Questions:

S1. What best explains why many women have
to work?

S2. Why did Marge and her husband think it
an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?

S3. What are the two major considerations
in deciding whether women should go out to work?

S4. Why would some women rather do
housework and take care of their children than pursue a career?

S5. If given a second chance, what would
the writer probably choose to do?

【答案与解析】

S1. Economics.

（由第一段第一句For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their
home is a luxury: they must work to survive.可知女性为了生存必须工作。所以很多女性选择工作是为了赚钱，因此是经济原因。）

S2. Because the increased cost will be more
than Marge’s income.

（由第二段内容可知，如果妻子去工作的话，就会有保姆工资、交通费、收入所扣税款等费用，这些支出会降低他们一家的收入。）

S3. Economic factors and emotional needs of
each member of the family.

（由第三段前两句可知，决定女性是否应该外出工作需要考虑两个因素。一是家庭经济状况。二是家人的情感需求。）

S4. Because they think that homemaking
gives them the deepest satisfaction.

（由第四段最后一句there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest
satisfaction可知，有女性认为家庭给她极大的满足感，因此不愿去追求事业。）

S5. The author would choose to stay at
home.

（从最后一段可以看出，作者后悔当初不成熟，不懂得家庭给她带来的收获。她希望与女儿一起看世界。说明作者后悔没有回归家庭，享受家庭带来的美好。）

Overseas Study at an Early Age. You should write at least 400 words. Write your composition on the answer sheet.

Overseas Study at an Early Age

Currently, an increasing number of parents are sending their
children especially the high school students abroad for education.

I believe several factors have contributed to the trend. Firstly,
these parents appreciate the education system abroad instead of domestic
education system. They think studying abroad can widen their children’s horizons
and cultivate their learning ability. Secondly, taking their children’s marks
in consideration, foreign schools may be a better choice for them because
competition of entering top universities is fierce in China. They will feel
freer overseas than at home. It could be easier for them to receive a better
education and choose what they like to study. Thirdly, a foreign diploma can be
of much help in hunting for a job for many interviewers like to hire someone
who has overseas study experience. Nowadays in China, there are dozens of
subsidiaries of foreign companies and Chinese companies with foreign markets,
which needs talents proficient in certain foreign languages. Those who have
overseas study experience are usually favored.

I hold the view that it is beneficial for parents to send children abroad
to study for better prospects of their children. However, parents should not
send their children abroad blindly and some points are worth considering.
Firstly, since children at an early age often have difficulty in adapting to
the life in an alien country, it is better for parents to send their child
abroad together with his peers whose parents have the same intention. In this
way, they can help each other in life and study. Secondly, the decision to send
children abroad to study should not be made in too much haste. Parents need to
negotiate with their children. Children can make their own decision whether to
go abroad or not at an early age. It is advisable that parents send children
abroad to study during or after the 4-year period of undergraduate study. In
adolescence, teenagers are sensitive and inclined to behave wrongly out of
their impulse. So the supervision of parents is necessary. But after they enter
college, they will be more and more independent in life and make decisions on
their own as adults.

In conclusion, the trend of sending children abroad to study is
inevitable due to the comprehensive education system in foreign countries,
parents’ growing expectations of their children, and the fierce job market. But
parents need to have a clear mind and take the condition and feeling of their
children into consideration.
