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. Animals on the Move It looked like a scene from “Jaws” but without the dramatic music. A huge shark was lowly swimming through the water, its tail swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a clock. Suddenly sensitive nerve ending in the shark’s skin picked up vibrations of a struggling fish. The shark was immediately transformed into a deadly, efficient machine of death. With muscles taut, the shark knifed through the water at a rapid speed. In a flash the shark caught its victim, a large fish, in its powerful jaws. Then, jerking its head back and forth, the shark tore huge chunks of flesh from its victim and swallowed them. Soon the action was over. Moving to Survive In pursuing its prey, the shark demonstrated in a dramatic way the important role of movement, or locomotion, in animals. Like the shark, most animals use movement to find food. They also use locomotion to escape enemies, find a mate, and explore now territories. The methods of locomotion include crawling, hopping, slithering, flying, swimming, or walking. Humans have the added advantage of using their various inventions to move about in just about any kind of environment. Automobiles, rockets, and submarines transport humans from deep oceans to as far away as the moon. However, for other animals movement came about naturally through millions of years of evolution. One of the most successful examples of animal locomotion is that of the shark. Its ability to quickly zero in on its prey has always impressed scientists. But it took a detailed study by Duke University marine biologists S. A. Wainwright, F. Vosburgh, and J. H. Hebrank to find out how the sharks did it. In their study the scientists observed sharks swimming in a tank at Marine land in Saint Augustine, Fla. Movies were taken of the sharks’ movements and analyzed. Studies were also made of shark skin and muscle. Skin Is the Key The biologists discovered that the skin of the shark is the key to the animals’ high efficiency in swimming through the water. The skin contains many fibers that crisscross like the inside of a belted radial
tire.The bersare called cl fibers These bers n ther sor or se large amounts f depending on whether the fibers are relaxed or taut Whe the fibersare stretched,energy is stored in them the way energy is stored in the string of a bow when pulled tight.When the energy is released,the fibers become relaxed The Duke University biologists have found that the greatest stretching occurs where the shark bends its body while swimming.During the body's back and forth motion,fibers along the outside part of the bending body stretch greatly.Much potential energy is stored in the fibers.This energy is released when the shark's body snaps back the other way. As energy is alternately stored and released on both sides of the animal's body,the tail whips strongly back and forth.This whip like action propels the animal through the water like a living bullet. Source of Energy What ca s the fibers to energy?In finding the answer the Duke University scientiss inflated by pressure,so,too,is the area just under the shark's collagen "radials".Instead of air pressure. however,the pressure in the shark may be due to the force of the blood pressing on the collagen fibers. When the shark swims slowly,the pressure on the fibers is relatively low.The fibers are more relaxed. and the shark is able to bend its body at sharp angles.The animal swims this way when looking around for food or just swimming. However,when the shark detects an important food soure.some fantastic nv untary changes take place The pressure inside the animal may increase by 10 times.This pressure change greatly stretches the fibers,enabling much energy to be stored. This energy is then transferred to the tail.and the shark is off.The rest of the story is predictable Dolphin Has Speed Record Another fast marine animal is the dolphin.This seaoing mammal has been clocked at speeds of 32 kilometers(20 miles)an hour Biologists studying the dolphin have discovered that,like the shark,the animal's efficient locomotion can be traced to its skin.A dolphin's skin is made up in such a way that it offers very little resistance to the water flowing over it.Nommally when a fish or other obiect moves slowly through the water,the water flows smoothly past the body.This smooth flow is known as laminar flow Howe water omes more t turbulent along the moving fish.This turbulen muses slows the fish down. In a dolphin the skin is so flexible that it bends and yields to the waviness of the water. The waves,in effect,become tucked into the skin's folds.This allows the rest of the water to move smoothly by in a laminar flow.Where other animals would be slowed by turbulent water at rapid speeds,the dophin can race throu the wate r at re ord breaking speeds Other Animals Less Efficient Not all animals move as efficiently as sharks and dolphins.Perhaps the greatest loser in locomotion efficiency is the slug.The slug.which looks like a snail without a shell,lays down a slimy trail over which it crawls.It usesso much energy producing the slimy mucus and crawling over it that a mouse traveling the same distance uses only on Scientist becaus of the slug's inefficien use of energy,its lifestyle must be restricted.That is the animals are forced to confine themselves to small areas for obtaining food and finding proper living conditions.Have humans ever been faced with this kind of problem? 1.Automobiles,rockets,and submarines are all examples given to support the idea that human inventions enable us to travel in almost any kind of environment 2.The tail of the shark contributes to its swift locomotio 、3
2 tire. The fibers are called collagen fibers. These fibers can either store or release large amounts of energy depending on whether the fibers are relaxed or taut. When the fibers are stretched, energy is stored in them the way energy is stored in the string of a bow when pulled tight. When the energy is released, the fibers become relaxed. The Duke University biologists have found that the greatest stretching occurs where the shark bends its body while swimming. During the body’s back and forth motion, fibers along the outside part of the bending body stretch greatly. Much potential energy is stored in the fibers. This energy is released when the shark’s body snaps back the other way. As energy is alternately stored and released on both sides of the animal’s body, the tail whips strongly back and forth. This whip like action propels the animal through the water like a living bullet. Source of Energy What causes the fibers to store so much energy? In finding the answer the Duke University scientists learned that the shark’s similarity to a belted radial tire doesnot stop with the skin. Just as a radial tire is inflated by pressure, so, too, is the area just under the shark’s collagen “radials”. Instead of air pressure, however, the pressure in the shark may be due to the force of the blood pressing on the collagen fibers. When the shark swims slowly, the pressure on the fibers is relatively low. The fibers are more relaxed, and the shark is able to bend its body at sharp angles. The animal swims this way when looking around for food or just swimming. However, when the shark detects an important food source, some fantastic involuntary changes take place. The pressure inside the animal may increase by 10 times. This pressure change greatly stretches the fibers, enabling much energy to be stored. This energy is then transferred to the tail, and the shark is off. The rest of the story is predictable. Dolphin Has Speed Record Another fast marine animal is the dolphin. This seagoing mammal has been clocked at speeds of 32 kilometers (20 miles) an hour. Biologists studying the dolphin have discovered that, like the shark, the animal’s efficient locomotion can be traced to its skin. A dolphin’s skin is made up in such a way that it offers very little resistance to the water flowing over it. Normally when a fish or other object moves slowly through the water, the water flows smoothly past the body. This smooth flow is known as laminar flow. However, at faster speeds the water becomes more turbulent along the moving fish. This turbulence muses friction and slows the fish down. In a dolphin the skin is so flexible that it bends and yields to the waviness of the water. The waves, in effect, become tucked into the skin’s folds. This allows the rest of the water to move smoothly by in a laminar flow. Where other animals would be slowed by turbulent water at rapid speeds, the dolphin can race through the water at record breaking speeds. Other Animals Less Efficient Not all animals move as efficiently as sharks and dolphins. Perhaps the greatest loser in locomotion efficiency is the slug. The slug, which looks like a snail without a shell, lays down a slimy trail over which it crawls. It uses so much energy producing the slimy mucus and crawling over it that a mouse traveling the same distance uses only one twelfth as much energy. Scientists say that because of the slug’s inefficient use of energy, its lifestyle must be restricted. That is, the animals are forced to confine themselves to small areas for obtaining food and finding proper living conditions. Have humans ever been faced with this kind of problem? 1.Automobiles, rockets, and submarines are all examples given to support the idea that human inventions enable us to travel in almost any kind of environment. 2.The tail of the shark contributes to its swift locomotion
3.The greatest stretching of the collagen fibers occurs when a shark tears huge chunks of flesh from its prey 4.The area just under the shark'scollagen fibers is similar toa belted radial tire because it isalso inflated by pressure. 5.A laminar flow is formed when a fish swims against the current. 6.Consuming the equal amount of energy as a slug does,a mouse can travel 12 times as long as a slug 7.Most species of sharks,including very small ones,can endanger man's life 8.Ashark finds its prey by 9.According to the passage, can be compared to the string ofa bow for both of them store energy when stretched. 10.When the shark detects an important food source. take place Part II Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes) 11.Thes hers try to be objective when they _the integrated ability of their students A)justify B)evaluate C)indicate D)reckon 12.Tomorrow the mayor is to a group of Canadian businessmen on a tour of the city.

5 Passage One I've been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so. Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher, correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is. The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls ''free writing." In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come out from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen. Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the page as the deadline draws near. Instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices. 41. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind "cannot work in parallel" (Line3--4 Para. I) in the writing process, he means________. A) no one can be both creative and critical B) they cannot be regarded as equally important C) they are in constant conflict with each other D) one cannot use them at the same time 42. What prevents people from writing on is________. A) putting their ideal in raw form B) attempting to edit as they write C) ignoring grammatical soundness D) trying to capture fleeting thoughts 43. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing? A) To organize one's thoughts logically. B) To choose an appropriate topic. c) To get one's ideas down. D) To collect raw materials. 44. One common concern of writers about "free writing" is that ________ A) it ovcrstresscs the role of the creative mind B) it takes too much lime to edit afterwards C) ii may bring about too much criticism D) it docs not help them to think clearly 45. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process? A) It refines his writing into better shape. B) It helps him to come up with new ideas
C)It saves the writing time available to him. D)Itallows him to sit on the side and observe Passage2 I don't ever want 10 talk about being a woman scientist again.There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work ina field dominated by men I was never very good at ruthfully I never found them RR之mn thhat1也时erine@ At 19,when I began studying astrophysics,il did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the elassroom.But while earning my PhD.at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research,the issue started to bother me.My every achievement-iobs.research papers.awards-was viewed through the lens of gender (politics Sowere my failures.Sometimes.when I was pushed into an argument on left brain s(相 对于)right brain,or nature versus nurture(培)，1 would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind Then one day a few years ago.out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all nrovocations i don't talk about that anymore it took me 10 vears to get back the confidence l had at 19 and to realize that I didn't want to deal with gender issues.Why should curing sexism be yet anotherte burde oevery female.don'study oc logy or Today I research and teach at Barnard,a women's college in New York City.Recently.someone aske me how many of tlie 45 students in my class were women.You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer.45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children And 1 don't dismiss those concerns.Still.I don't tell them "war"stories.Instead.I have giver eriments.And intun the egiven me the imge of5 women driven by s And tha'sasight worth ing ab 46.Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again? a)She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields B)She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination D)S e find more 47.From Paragraph 2.we can infer that people would attribute the author's failures to A)the very fact that she is a woman B)her involvement in gender politics D)the burden she hears in male-dor ated so 48.What id the author fight agnst whiledoingher Ph.D.and post-doctorlesarh A)Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science B)Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.

There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, ihe shape of space-lime and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, il did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards— was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), 1 would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don't talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that 1 didn't want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don't study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women's college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of tlie 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer. 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And 1 don't dismiss those concerns. Still, I don't tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that's a sight worth talking about. 46. Why doesn't the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again? A) She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields. B) She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination. C) She is not good at telling stories of the kind.

Keys to Test 5 forUnits 9&10 Part I (Sample writing) Dormitory Life For most university students, dormitory life is a new experience. Most students have never lived far away from their parents before coming to university. They have always had their parents to depend on for advice and guidance, and when they become university students, their lives begin to change. There are striking difference between home life and dormitory life. Students must begin to be responsible for their own action. They must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on, time for class, to eat properly, to keep their clothes and themselves clean, and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation. They must also learn to take care of their money, making sure to preserve enough for both necessities and for fun. In general, there are both good and bad points about life in student dormitory. Often, dormitory rooms are small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one’s privacy and make it difficult for students to concentrate on their studies. On the other hand, in a dormitory, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will and desire than to that of parents.
