1 College English Achievement Test 2 (Units 3&4 / Book IV) Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic：Students’ Rating of Their Teachers. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below: 1．学生给老师打分已很普遍； 2．人们对其持不同态度； 3．我的看法 Part II Reading Comprehension (skimming and scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions. For questions 1-7, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Let’s Stop Keeping Pets Pets are lovable, frequently delightful. The dog and the cat, the most favored of pets, are beautiful, intelligent animals. To assume care for them can help bring out the humanity in our children and even in us. A dog or a cat can teach us a lot about human nature; they are a lot more like us than some might think. More than one owner of a dog has said that the animal understands everything he says to it. So a mother and father who have ever cared for pets are likely to be more patient and understanding with their children as well, and especially to avoid making negative or rude remarks in the presence of a child, no matter how young. It is touching to see how a cat or dog --- especially a dog --- attaches itself to a family and wants to share in all its goings and comings. If certain animal psychologists are right, a dog adopts his family in a most literal way --- taking it for granted that the family is the band of dogs he belongs to. It is sometimes said tat the cat “takes all and gives nothing.” But it that really true? A cat can teach us a valuable lesson about how to be contented, how to be serene and at ease, how to sit and contemplate. Whereas a dog’s constant pleas for attention become, sometimes, a bit too much. Nevertheless it is the dog who can teach us lessons of loyalty and devotion that no cat ever knew. So there’s plenty to be said in favor of keeping pets. But with all tat in mind, I still say let’s stop keeping pets. Not that a family should kill its pets. Very few could bring themselves to do that. To be practical, I am suggesting that if we do not now have a pet we should not acquire one; second, that if we now have a pet, we let it be our last one. I could never say that pets are bad. I am saying, let’s give up this good thing --- the ownership of a pet --- in favor of a more imperative good. The purchase, the health care, the feeding and housing and training of a pet --- and I chiefly mean the larger, longer-lived pets --- cost time and money. Depending on the animal’s size and activity, its special tastes and needs, and the standard of living we establish for it, the care of a pet can cost from a dollar a week to a dollar or more a day. I would not for a moment deny it is worth that. But facts outside the walls of our home keep breaking in on our awareness. Though we do not see the poverty-stricken people of India and Africa and South America, we can never quite forget that they are there. Now and then their faces are shown in the news, or in the begging ads of relief organizations. Probably we send a donation whenever we can

2 But we do not, as a rule, feel a heavy personal responsibility for the afflicted and deprived, for we are pretty thoroughly formed by the individualistic, competitive society we live in. the first dime we ever made was ours to spend in any way we chose. No one thought of questioning that. That attitude, formed before we had learned to think, usually prevails through our life: “I made my money. I can spend it any way I like.” But more and more we are reading that the people of the “Third World” feel bitter at us in the developed countries (with the United States far more developed than any of the others) for our seizing hold of two-thirds of the world’s wealth and living like kings while they work away all day to earn a bare living. The money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A relief organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor --- the sever deficiency disease which is simply a starving for protein. Doing without such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean saving a life --- over the years, several human lives. Children not suffering from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount --- not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe that the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child alive in a region of great poverty. To give what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it would probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no laboring. That s all that need be said. 1. Dogs are like human beings in many ways. They can understand a lot what we say to them. 2. With a dog around, a person will be careful in taking to the relatives as well as to their friends. 3. The dog even thinks that all the family members are dogs just as it is. 4. It is proposed in the text that those who own pets should get rid of them immediately. 5. We do not feel that personally we are responsible for the afflicted and deprived people in other parts of the world because we live in an individualistic, competitive society. 6. There is no question that we can spend the money we earn in any way we choose. 7. The money spent on pets is too little to be of any real use for solving the problems of poverty in the world. 8. Taking the responsibility of caring for pets can help make our children or even ourselves _____. 9. The dog considers itself as ______. 10. The author doesn’t believe it to be true that a cat takes ______. Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes) 11.

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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Fourteen-year-old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety-two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first. The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he “did pretty well at staying calm. I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I’d make -- it would distract me from playing,” he says. “I don’t even remember trying to impress people while I played. It’s almost as if they weren’t there. I just wanted to make music.” Hawley is a winner. But he didn’t become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well. “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modem Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin “The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” New research shows that Coubertin’s philosophy is exactly the path achievers take to win at life’s challenging games. A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. “They are interested in winning, but they’re most interested in self development, testing their limits.” One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’ve had -- and how much they’ve learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing.” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks.’” A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree. “The worst thing you can do if you’ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged

When an invention is made,the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him:he can give the invention to the world by publishing it.keep the idea secret.or patent it. struck between an inventor and the state,by which the nV (传利 ）and publishe s of his invention to the publi after that period terminates Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the lifespan of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events.

You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people don’t give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you’ve done on the way to a goal. 57. Hawley won the contest because ________. A) he put all his mind to his performance B) he cared much about the judges’ feelings C) he tried his best to avoid making mistakes D) he paid close attention to the people around 58. What is common among high performers is that they tend to give priority to ________. A) glory B) work C) pleasure D) wealth 59. According to the passage, successful people concentrate on ________. A) avoiding setbacks B) learning from others C) defeating their opponents D) challenging their own limits 60. It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not ________. A) free of losses B) interested in winning C) accustomed to failures D) concerned about setbacks 61. The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble ________. A) helps people realize their goals B) makes people forget their setbacks C) makes people regret about their past D) helps people deal with their disappointment Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. When an invention is made, the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him: he can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secret, or patent it. A granted patent is the result of a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (专利权) and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates. Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the lifespan of a patent extended to alter this normal process of events. The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry (电路) was extended until 1971 because for most of the patent’s normal life there was no color TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention. Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for anyone to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent. Indeed, patent experts often advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor’s right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates (使无效) further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security. Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most “new” ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice, either through necessity or dedication, or through the availability of new technology, that makes news and money.
