Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet (机读卡)with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: During the traditional wedding ceremony, the bridal couple promise each other lifelong devotion. Yet, about one out of four American marriages ends in divorce. Since 1940, the divorce rate has more than doubled, and experts predict that, of all marriages that occurred in the 1970s, about 50% will end in divorce. The U.S.A. has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, perhaps even the highest. What goes wrong? The fact that divorce is so common in the United States does not mean that Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant relationship. Just the opposite is true. Americans expect a great deal from marriage. They seek physical, emotional, and intellectual compatibility(相容；不矛盾). They want to be deeply loved and understood. It is because Americans expect so much from marriage that many get divorced. They prefer no marriage at all to a marriage without love and understanding. With typical American optimism, they end one marriage in hope that the next will be happier. With no-fault divorce laws in many states, it is easier than ever to get a divorce. Some American women stay in unhappy marriages because they don’t have the education or job experience to support themselves and their children. But most American women believe that, if necessary, they can make it alone without a husband. All things considered, Americans have few reasons to continue an unhappy marriage. Which marriages are most likely to end in divorce? Marriages between people with low income or limited education and marriages between teenagers are at greatest risk. The number of divorces between couples with children under the age of 18 is declining, and almost 45% of divorcing couples are childless. 16. Experts predict that, of all marriages that occurred in the 1970s, about ___________will end in divorce. A. 25% B. 35% C. 45% D. 50% 17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Experts predict that 50% newly-married couple will get divorced. B. Presently about 25% of American marriages end in divorce. C. Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant relationship. D. Some American women stay in unhappy marriages because they love their children. 18. It is because ________ that so many get divorced. A. they seek a great deal from marriage B. they don’t take marriage seriously C. they are too independent D. they don’t have good education 19. Which of the following marriages is most likely to stay firm? A. Marriages between people with high incomes. B. Marriages between people with limited education. C. Marriages between teenagers. D. Childless couples. 20. The general tone of this passage is _____________. A. favorable B. critical C. ignorant D. indifferent Passage Two Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Have you ever wondered why the skins of animals have particular colors? Color in animals seems to be either “protective” or “warning”. Birds, monkeys and spiders are very fond of butterflies, but there are some butterflies which are not edible. They have bad flavor and bright color and this gay coloring serves as a danger signal to the birds, monkeys and spiders. These butterflies can fly freely in broad daylight while the edible ones have to hurry in terror for their lives through the very d ark parts of the forest. But if you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find that the chief use of coloring is protection. Lions, tigers and other beasts move quietly through great masses of forest. They are often invisible to the eyes. The stripes of the tiger look much like the long stalks of the forest. But an even stranger act remains to be noted. After the rainy season, the new green grasses spring up. All the 评分人得分

Their color would be no protection to them, and their places are now colored as green as the new grass. Whether they are new insects, or only the new green grasses, nobody knows. 21.

After the rainy season, the withered-grass insects seem to disappear because their color would not be protective. C. After the rainy season, the withered-grass insects change into new ones. D. After the rainy season, all of the withered-grass will die. Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” You may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!” These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments to test a learn-while-you-sleep method, which are now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is only one of them. Scientists say that this sleep-study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that an ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day — and this does not affect his rest in any way. As a matter of fact, sleep-teaching will only hammer into your head what you have studied already while you are awake. In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for about two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary were given with the student awake. At 11 p.m. a soft music was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio whispered the lesson again and again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to review the lesson. Then soft songs sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast. The student who took part in the experiment said that it was a good method for learning languages. 26. The learn-while-you-sleep method is _____________. A. a method of waking B. a method of studying C. a method of discovering D. a method of talking 27. Its experiments are now being tried ________. A. in European countries B. by some teachers C. with several subjects D. forspecial purposes 28. In the experiment of language learning, each lesson can be divided into ________. A. three parts B. four parts C. five parts D. six parts 29. Which statement is NOT true? A. The sleep-study method is effective in language learning only. B. The soft music is a part of the teaching program. C. The method doesn’t affect people’s rest in any way. D. The sleep-study method makes language learning easier. 30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Surprising Answer B. Language Learning C. The Sleeping Students D. Sleep-study Method

I’m looking around for a middle–aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who I’ve seen in pictures. The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace(项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dress in black or gray. But I’m just guess since the pictures only showed her face. Anyway, I’m looking and looking and everyone’s leaving and there’s no signal on my phone and I’m thinking Oh great, I’m going to be abandoned at the airport so that two countries they don’t want me in, when I notice everyone’s gone except this kid who comes up to me and says, “You must be Daisy.” And when I look relieved he does too and says, “I’m Edmond.” “Hello Edmond,” I said, “nice to meet you.” I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like. Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it’s not exactly what you’d expect from your average fourteen-year-old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night, but aside from that he’s exactly like some kind of mutt, you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you’re going to take him home? Well that’s him. Only he took me home. I’ll take your bag, he said, and even though he’s about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg, he grabs my bag, and I grab it back and say Where’s your mom, is she in the car. And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette, which, even though I know smoking kills and all that, I think is a little bit cool, but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarette? I don’t say anything I case it’s a well-known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it I’ll end up looking like an idiot when I’ve barely been here five minutes. Anyway, he says Mum couldn’t come to the airport because she’s working, and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else, so I drove here myself. 31. Daisy flew to London to ___________________. A. see England B. live with her aunt C. meet Edmond D. visit a friend 32. Before Edmond greeted her, Daisy felt ________________. A. anxious B. curious C. relieved D. excited 33.

What did Edmond look like in Daisy’s eye? A. An average fourteen-year-old B. A lost dog C. An old friend D. A man with dignity 35. Daisy did not make any comment about Edmond smoking because ___________________. A. she knew all children in England smoke cigarette B. she thought smoking did harm to one’s health C. the smoking age in England is about 12 D. she did not want to make a fool of herself Part III Cloze (10 points) ( 1 point for each ) Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.
