III Reading Comprehension（40 points） Part A
Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.
Text 1
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.
Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!
46 A good title for this passage is ____. A. Sleep B. Good Health
C. Dreams D. Work and Rest
47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____. A. sick B. stand up C. asleep D. a little sleepy
48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.
A. dream more often B. have poor health C. nervous D. breathe quickly 49. During REM, ____. A. your eyes move quickly B. you dream C. you are restless D. both A and B

A. approximately six hours B. around ten hours C. about eight hours D. not stated here Text 2
Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family peop le don?t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a
button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is
where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.
Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one?s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio p erforms this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn?t it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.
51. What is the major function of paragraph 1? A. To arouse the reader?s concern
B. To introduce the theme of the whole passage C. To summarize the whole passage D. To sate the primary uses of TV
52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______. A. not very convenient
B. very expensive C. quite dangerous D. relatively cheap
53. Why are some people against TV? A. Because TV programs re not interesting B. Because TV viewers are totally passive C. Because TV prices are very high.
D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages 54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______. A. it keeps us informed B. it is very cheap
C. it enables us to have a rest D. it controls our lives
55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .
A. its quality
B. people ?s attitude towards it C. how we use it D. when we use it Text 3
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what
they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.
56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .
A. have ruined their talents B. have taken on an unsuitable job C. think of nothing but their salary D. are not aware of their own potential
57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .
A. much competition has to be faced
B. many employees have no working experience
C. the young people only care about how much they can earn D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance
58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?
A. Your job must suit your interest. B. Your job must set a pattern of life. C. Your job must offer you a high salary. D. Your job must not ruin your talents.
59.The best title for this passage would be ____. A. What Can A Good Job Offer B. Earning A Living
C. Correct Attitude On Job-hunting D. How To Choose A Job
60. The word “pathetic” in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .
A. splendid B. miserable C. disgusted D. touching Part B
Directions: The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers? Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mr. Mike Smith:
It wasn?t an easy decision, but we?ve been as king for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We?re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That?s all. It?s pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don?t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.
Mr. Tom Brown:
It?s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when
we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we?re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that?s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.
Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions hav e too much power and shouldn?t be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don?t we all?
Mr. Baker:
My opinion is “Get the Army in”. All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into priso n. That?s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don?t like their jobs, nobody …s forcing them to work. They
should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they?d keep their mouths shut then. Miss Slater:
Let?s face it. It?s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can?t do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers? money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It?s just one of those things.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate
statement.
Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Mr. Mike Smith 62. Mr. Tom Brown 63.Mr. Bob David 64.Mrs. baker 65. Miss Slater
[A] A % increase is already too much, and I?m here to persuade the Union to see reason.
[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sec tors relating to the nation?s security and stability.
[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved. [D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker?s demands.
[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.
[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.
[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

II Cloze (10 Points) 参考译文
如果你正为某些事情担心或是在工作上、学业中承受着很大的压力，你极有可能睡得不好。忧虑使你无法入睡，你在床上辗转反侧，直到清晨时分才能睡得着觉。醒来的时候，你并不觉得精神焕发神清气爽，而是精疲力竭，无法迎接新一天的来临。
近期的报纸上刊登了一篇亨利?温可尔博士的文章，题目是《压力与睡眠》。温可尔博士认为压力和睡眠不足有直接的联系。他说：“我们越是忧心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越没有办法对抗忧虑。”他还补充说：“如果能找到使自己睡个好觉的方法，我们就能有足够的精力解决我们的问题。”
那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，保持健康需要的睡眠数量是因人而异的。7小时是平均数。然而令人不解的是，延长睡眠时间，非但不能让人精神焕发，反而会引起头痛。
温可尔博士认为睡前的准备工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人临睡前应该稍稍休息一下，做点有助于放松的事，可以看看电视或听听音乐。早晨做运动也会使人在身体上和精神上有疲劳感。睡前喝点饮料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因为它们含有的咖啡因会使你无法入眠。温可尔博士指出：“关灯之后，你就该集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地从脚开始放松，就会不知不觉地进入梦乡了。”
26．A本题考查词语搭配。toss and rum是固定用法，表示“辗转反侧”。
27．D考查词语搭配。fall asleep意为“入睡”，是固定用法，符合题意。
28．C本题考查词语辨析和对文意的理解。A项relieve为“减轻，安慰”B项renew为“恢复，重建”c项refresh意为“恢复精力”D项release为“释放”。人睡觉醒来应觉神清气爽，选c。29．B此题考查词义辨析。B项unable意为…没有能力的”，常与to搭配，人做主语。30．C此题考查词义辨析和对文意的理解。表示“文章等的标
题是…”，一般用entitle。31．D此题考查词义辨析。A项imply意为“暗示”；B项sug—gest；C项propose均为“建议”；只有D项indicate意为“表明，明确指出”符合文意。
32．A这里的意思是“压力和缺乏睡眠有关系”。表示关系的选项是A项relate。
33．B第一段已经提到，如果人承受很大的压力就睡不好，“忧虑使你无法入睡”。由此可知，越忧虑，睡的越少，me more／less．．．，me…是固定搭配，意为“越…，越…”。
34．C此题考查对细节的理解。这一段第一句话已提到亨利博士的文章讲的是压力与睡眠的关系，前文中出现了stress and sleep，根据此细节可推断出此处应选C。
35．D此题考查对文意的理解。文中此处是说“博士又补充了一点”，D项add意为“补充”。36．B这里的意思是说只有保证好的睡眠，我们才能有精力去解决所忧虑的问题，此处指的是人的体力，只有B项energy有此意。
37．A此题考查词义辨析。这里指的是人们睡眠的数量各不相同，vary和differ都有“不同”的意思。但前者强调各式各样的，种类的多样性而后者强调事物本质上根本的不同。38．C此题考查关联词的用法。此处意思是说，一般人们会认为睡得越多人越精神，但恰恰相反，睡多了会使人头疼，这里是转折的意思，所以选择C。
39．D此题考查对上下文的理解。此句的意思是“睡多了会使人头疼而不是更加体力充沛”，要选择表转折的选项。

项vacation意为“假期”；D项interruption意为“打扰”。 41．B此题考查对文意的理解。early意为“早早地”。 42．C此题考查词语搭配。physically and mentally是副词短语的固定搭配，表示“身心地”。43．B茶和咖啡因含咖啡因会使人清醒，B项awake意为“清醒的”。

III Reading Comprehension（40 points）
46 A 文章的第一段谈到睡眠能使身体健康，第二段、第三段谈到睡眠的几种状态，最后一段谈到很快入睡的几种方法。因此整篇文章都围绕睡眠而谈，因此A为正确答案。47. D. drowsy :瞌睡的，想睡的。因为上一句的意思是：“如果你睡觉有困难的话，有人建议慢慢的深深呼吸。”紧接着作者说：“另外一些人认为喝热牛奶能使你…, 根据上下文应该选“瞌睡的”，因此只有D 最符合题意。sick : 有病的；stand up :起立。asleep : 睡着的。

passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.”有些人认为电视的危险在于观众变的被动了。因此B为正确答案。
