You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage. The typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well--- grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such “extended” families were suited for survival in slow paced __36_ societies. But such families are hard to __37__. They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family _38_ shed its excess weight and the so-called “nuclear” family emerged --- a stripped-down, portable family unit _39__ only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more _40__ than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial countries. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, __41_ even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streaming process, a step further by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more _42__ components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family.

Beijing has the world’s least affordable rental housing, according to a survey of 15 global cities, with average prices more than 1.2 times average salaries. The report by the Global Cities Business Alliance, a UK-based not-for-profit organisation, raises fears over inclusive growth in a city that — according to one Chinese survey — this year surpassed New York to become the world’s billionaire capital. Soaring house prices, which rose 18 per cent in the year to March, and restrictions on non-residents buying houses until they have paid tax in Beijing for five years, make renting the only option for many of the city’s young adults and migrant workers. Beijing rent is nearly twice as expensive as its closest challenger, Abu Dhabi, according to the survey. Beijing scored the second-longest commute. High rents and urban inequality lead to longer commutes for service-sector workers who deliver location-specific services. The study found that hospital nurses, primary school teachers and bus drivers all faced rents of between 1.1 and 1.5 times their incomes. Rural-urban migration has put pressure on the rental market, especially as Beijing's neighbouring northern provinces lose their traditional industries of coal and steel. The city’s metropolitan area has doubled in population in the past 20 years. High rental prices damage the economy by locking up consumer spending power, the report argues, finding that a further 10 percent rise in rental prices would suck up about $3.5bn of consumption. 56. What are the restrictions for the young adults and migrant workers to buy houses in Beijing? A. people should have highly educated backgraound B. people have paid tax over half a decade C. people should have registered permanent residence D. people have owned his business for five years 57. What are the results and damage of high rents ? A. land shortage B. lacking of urban community attachment C. longer commutes and less consumption D. more happiness
58.What is the reason of high rents in Beijing?

C.A further 18 per cent rise in rental prices would suck up its consumption D.The house prices of Beijing have risen 18 per cent in the year to Ma Passage Two Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. What is success?The accurate way is that each of us has ourown conept of success.To the t each of u is responsible for se our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities,it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly. For some people,simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffer ing is ere Thin p mind of the p r sheph who tends his sheep,enjoys his frugal life withh s I mily in the beauty of nature,an who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society.On the other hand,it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions,many of them seem to be miserable and cons der themselves un uccessful when judged by Because not all their own goals of succes ures can be successful,one shoul set unrea istic goals achieving success,but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.

A further 18 per cent rise in rental prices would suck up its consumption D. The house prices of Beijing have risen 18 per cent in the year to March Passage Two Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. What is success? The accurate way is that each of us has our own concept of success. To the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly. For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given your best effort.” 61. In the first paragraph, the author implies______are essential in achieving success? A. ability and goals B. goals and determination C. ability and environment D. goals and environment
62.The word"frugal"(Line 2,Para.2)means C.thrifty D.miserable op consider themsclves unsuccesstu bcaus s miserable B.they do not live in peace C.their goals are too low D.they are not rich enough by their own standards 64.The last paragraph implies that A.we should have high goals B.sucess meas achieving great goals C.success means taking a walk in the park D.success means trying one's best at what one really likes 65.This passage mainly talks about A.the definition of success B how to achieve success C.show to set goals D.the importance of goals Part IV Translation(30 minutes)(编者孙玲莉) passage from 中国的目标是,到2020年,从可再生能源中获取的能源量达到能源总量的20%,该 目标与更富有的欧盟成员国所制定的目标一致。目前,中国在可再生能源产能 (renewable energy capacity)方面世界领先。中国禁止使用塑料袋已经许多年了。 从20世纪50年代开始,政府鼓励居民植树造林、退耕还林。60年后,森林覆盖率 从0.3%上升到了令人难以置信的约21%。在中国还可以看到无数类似的努力 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 新编大学英语四级全真模拟试恩(七)第6项
