Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with what you have heard. When John (S1)_____ that morning, he remembered that his mother was going (S2) _____ hospital.

He knew, (S4) _____, that she hadn’t been well for some time now, and it had become almost (S5) _____ to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand (S6) _____ against her heart. Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for (S7) _____, had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things. The (S8) _____ told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself. During the weeks since then the pains had come even more often, and the narrowed eyes became an almost permanent part of her expression. (S9) . John, a considerate person, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you. When his mother went into hospital, John was going to stay with his aunt, and his father would stay on at home by himself. However, John didn’t feel much happier. (S10) . PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (30 points) (2 points for each) Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: One of the first productive daydreamers may have been Archimedes. In the third century BC, the Greek scientist and inventor was taking a bath when he suddenly grasped a method for determining whether a gold crown was mixed with a cheaper metal. More recently, Sigmund Freud wrote extensively about the psychological importance of dreams, including daydreams. Scientists began investigating daydreaming as an invention and problem-solving tool about 40 years ago after they noticed famous inventors often reported making key discoveries while their minds wandered in relaxed states. Daydreaming is appreciated as a valuable tool in other areas as well. Visualization, for instance, in which athletes essentially daydream their own top performances, is widely used by athletes before important contests. Despite its history, however, daydreaming is in poor reputation today. They are often seen by many as a waste of time. Yet many of us daydream, and productively, too. A lot of people say they have their best ideas at night, when they get up in the morning, or during a long taxi ride. Basically when people are in a semi-trance (半催眠) state, their mind is free to wander and come up with new ideas. You can also daydream successfully while exercising, walking or bathing. In fact, it's a good idea to occupy at least part of your mind with something else while letting your daydreams spin (旋转). A typical exercise of the daydreamer is to imagine he or she is in various settings such as a tropical beach or preparing to dive into a pool of water. The idea is to provide the daydreamer with an experience that will help his or her real-world performance. For example, if a salesman has been rejected 20 times and is afraid of cold -calling (向素不相识的人打电话或上门推销商品), he can use daydreaming to help himself relax, so that he will experience a call with less stress and become open to learning new skills. Writing down or otherwise recording a dream session is vital. One of the problems is that you have a great idea and it pops out of your head before you can record it. You also must carefully evaluate the real value of your ideas. At some point, you have to step back from the daydream and figure out what's reality. Daydreams aren't going to show you what's practical. That's not their job. Daydreams can even be dangerous if you fail to distinguish fantasy from reality. The risk is expecting too much and taking your daydreams too seriously. 16. According to the author, Archimedes was the first man in history ________. A. to appreciate daydreaming as a problem-solving tool B. to make a gold crown mixed with a cheaper metal C. to study the role of daydreaming in solving problems D. to solve a scientific problem while daydreaming 得分评卷人

According to some scientists, many discoveries were made when the inventors ________. A.worked at night B. dreamed a lot C. concentrated their attention on their work D. were in a relaxed state of mind 18. According to the passage, daydreaming is viewed by many today as ________. A. dangerous to a driver’s safety C. an athlete’s way to top performance B. a waste of time D. valuable to success 19. To benefit from daydreaming, the most important thing is ________.

A. you can’t tell what is practical and what is not B. you step back and try to figure out what is reality C. you let them spin during a long drive D. you let them pop out of your mind Passage Two Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Oxford University put forward the idea of establishing a business school six years ago, prompting 500 black-gowned dons(指导老师) in protest. Outraged teachers argued that the groves of academe should be out of bounds to commerce. How times have changed. Frustrated by the British government's reluctance to let the university charge real-world tuition fees, demoralized(士气受挫)by mounting charges of elitism(杰出人物的统治), with research and teaching stifled by inadequate state subsidies, at the notoriously traditional 800-year-old institution, increasing numbers of them are calling for their university to be privatized. Britain ranks just 16th out of 23 developed countries for higher-education spending, yet its universities are allowed to charge even their richest students no more than $1,600 per year, a quarter of the real cost of study and a figure that pales in comparison with Harvard's $22,694 annual tuition. Already Oxford is having trouble paying salaries sufficient to attract top teachers; a junior lecturer with a Ph.D. is offered just $23,000 a year, while a full professor gets $68,400, roughly half the salaries of their U.S. counterparts. Lately the issue seems to have taken on a new urgency. Blair may himself be a graduate of Oxford, but his government subsidizes the university to the tune of $304 million annually. Given Oxford's paltry endowment---just $3.6 billion, compared with Harvard's $18.3 billion--it would be hardly pressed to make up any budgetary shortfall from Whitehall. Raising tuition alone would clearly not do the trick. And unlike their counterparts in the United States, where Princeton last year alone received $70 million from former students, Oxford graduates have proved surprisingly unwilling to convert happy memories into hard-cash donations. Total contributions to the university, including those from private companies, amounted to a modest $19.7 million in 2001. 21. Nowadays in Oxford University the teachers _________ the privatization of their university. A. opposed B. are in favor of C. are arguing about D. disapproved of 22. According to the passage, the professor’s salary _____________. A. is about 23,000 dollars a year B. is nearly half of U.S. professor’s C. is about 68,400 pounds D. is about $1,600 23. The word “outraged” in Para. 1 means ____________. A. raging B. hatred C. modest D. excited 24. Oxford University is in the financial crisis mainly because ________________. A. the professor’s salary is low B. the tuition is too low C. the government’s subsidy is not sufficient D. the amount of graduates’ donation is little 25. According to the passage, _________________________. A. the teachers in Oxford University are always for the privatization of their university B. according to the higher education expenditure, Britain ranks the sixteenth in the 23 developed countries C. Oxford University received more donation than Harvard University D. the attitude of the teachers in Oxford University changed a lot these years Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: As Starbucks launches an aggressive expansion in China，a coffee frontier steeped in nearly 5,000 years of tea．The goal： to build hip hangouts that tap into a new taste for China’s emerging middle class．

Choose the one answer that best fits into the passage.. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 31 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 32 can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 33 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 34 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 35 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 36 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 37 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 38 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 39 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 40 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 41 reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 42 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the 得分评卷人

It took a mere twenty-year flick of time to double the limit again. And by the 1960’s rocket plants approached speeds of 4,000 mph, and men in space capsules were circling the earth at 18,000 mph. Whether we examine distances traveled, altitudes reached, or minerals mined, the same accelerative trend is obvious.
