Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages it 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 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Chemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history, being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process; so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical knowledge, which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb, was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.
The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was, however, hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition, there were social and intellectual difficulties, chemistry is nothing if not practical; those who practice it must use their hands, they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations, practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world, where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest.
The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists, who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with the hunt for the elixir that would bestow the blessing of eternal life. In one sense, the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure.
21. What is the passage mainly about?
A) The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.
B) Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.
C) The practical aspects of chemistry.
D) Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically.
22. According to the passage, how did knowledge about chemical processes increase before the seventeenth century?
A) Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.
B) A special symbolic language was developed.
C) Experience led workers to revise their techniques.
D) Experts shared their discoveries with the public.
23. The bold word “hampered” in Line 1 Para 2 is closest in meaning to____.
A) recognized B) determined
C) solved D) hindered
24. The bold word “it” refers to which of the following?
A) Problem. B) Material.
C) Difficulty. D) System.
25. Which of the following statements best explains why “the second of these was the more serious impediment”(Underlined)?
A) Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.
B) The symbolic language used was very imprecise.
C) Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists.
D) The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum a dark, thick ooze from the earth had been known for hundreds of years, but little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local scapages and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.
Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.
The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, are tired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.
News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.
Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s and 1890’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heatingoil.
26.What is the best title for the passage?
A) Oil Refining: A Historical Perspective
B) The California Gold Rush: Get Rich Quickly
C) Private Property: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted
D) Kerosene Lamps: A Light in the Tunnel
27.It can be inferred form the passage that kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too____.
A) expensive B) thick
C) hot D) polluted
28.According to the passage, many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had made a mistake by____.
A) going on a whaling expedition
B) moving to Pennsylvania
C) searching for oil
D) retiring from his job
29.Why does the author mention the California gold rush?
A) To explain the need for an increased supply of gold
B) To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealth
C) To describe the mood when oil was first discovered
D) To argue that gold was more valuable than oil
30. Which of the following words could best replace the word “one” (Underlined)?A) Oil. B) Door.
C) Store. D) Product.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
“Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major credit cards are accepted!”
By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. “We don’t have a budget,” says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street.“ We just use our credit cards.”
The US has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement(廉價商品部). Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30 % to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. That’s up from $74 billion the year before.
True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge（無節(jié)制）has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $298.
31. From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her ____.
A) are reluctant to carry cash with them
B) simply don’ t care how much they spend
C) are not good at planning their expenditure
D) often spend more money than they can afford
32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ____.
A) it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the US
B) it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the US
C) tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that year
D) Tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year
33.By saying “ nobody undersells America” (Underlined), the author means that ____.A) no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American productsB) nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities
C) nobody restrains the selling of American goods
D) no other country sells at a lower price than America
34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners?A) Because they have gained much publicity through the American media
B) Because they represent the world’ s latest fashions
C) Because they embody the most sophisticated technology
D)Because they are available at all tourist destinations
35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize____.
A) the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits
B) the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits
C) tourism can make great contributions to its economy
D) visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960s, but it was in the 1970’s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.
Butler Square, in Minneapois, examplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights. San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district.
36. What is the main idea of the passage?
A) During the 1970’s, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use.B) Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers. C) The San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight urban decay.
D) Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston.
37. What is the space at Quincy Market now used for?
A) Boston’ s new city hall.
B) Sports and recreational facilities.
C) Commercial and industrial warehouses.
D) Restaurant, offices, and stores.
38. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer for a project in____.A) San Francisco B) Boston
C) Minneapolis D) San Antonio
39. When was the Butler Square building originally built?
A) In the eighteenth century.
B) In the early nineteenth century.
C) In the late nineteenth century.
D) In the early twentieth century.
40. What is the author’s opinion of the San Antonio project?
A) It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.
B) It is a good project that could be copied in other cities.
C) The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.
D) The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.

Section B
A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight.

Passage One
內(nèi)容概要:
盡管化學(xué)只是在十七世紀(jì)的科學(xué)革命之后才成為一門學(xué)科出現(xiàn)，但是化學(xué)知識的使用已經(jīng)擁有了非常悠久的歷史。但是，研究化學(xué)的科學(xué)方法的發(fā)展被諸多因素給阻礙了，包括物質(zhì)來源的多樣性和把這些物質(zhì)有系統(tǒng)地組織起來的難度，另外還有社會和智力上的困難。早期化學(xué)科學(xué)的最終問題就是秘密問題。在某一領(lǐng)域內(nèi)，有人為了保守自己的經(jīng)濟利益把自己的發(fā)現(xiàn)作為秘密掩藏起來。
21.【答案】B。
【譯文】本篇文章的主要內(nèi)容是什么？
【試題分析】主題歸納型，通過總結(jié)和歸納，進而得出文章的主題。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A的意思是“十七世紀(jì)的科學(xué)革命”，這只是在文章的第一段中提到了這一點，但只是其中一個非常小的細(xì)節(jié)；選項B的意思是“化學(xué)作為一門學(xué)科發(fā)展緩慢的原因”，在文章的第二段和第三段中作者花了很多的筆墨講述化學(xué)發(fā)展緩慢的原因，故它是本題的正確答案；選項C的意思是“化學(xué)的實用方面”，這只是文章第二段所提到的一個細(xì)節(jié)；選項D的意思是“把化學(xué)知識有系統(tǒng)地組織起來的困難”，這只是所提出的三個原因中的一個，不能以偏蓋全。故本題的正確答案是B。
22.【答案】C。

【試題分析】細(xì)節(jié)推理型，根據(jù)文章中的相關(guān)信息，并進行分析和總結(jié)。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A的意思是“哲學(xué)家編寫了有關(guān)化學(xué)知識的理論�！�，文章第二段的最后一句話The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world告訴我們哲學(xué)家遠(yuǎn)離有關(guān)的化學(xué)知識，而不是編寫了理論；選項B的意思是“形成了一套特殊的符號語言”，文章最后一段的最后一句話告訴我們使用符號的原因是為了保守秘密，而不是為了發(fā)展化學(xué)知識；選項C的意思是“經(jīng)驗引導(dǎo)著工人們改進他們的技術(shù)。”，第一段所講的內(nèi)容正是關(guān)于這一點，而且這也是發(fā)展化學(xué)知識的方法，故是正確答案；選項D的意思是“專家們與公眾分享這些化學(xué)知識”，文章第三段明顯提到為了保守秘密他們這些煉丹術(shù)士采取多種手段保守秘密，所以該選項不正確。

【試題分析】語句理解型，考查學(xué)生對文章中難點句子的理解和解釋。
【詳細(xì)解答】選項A的意思是“化學(xué)知識只是局限在少數(shù)人的手中�！�，文章第三段所講的內(nèi)容正是關(guān)于這一點，故選項A是正確答案；選項B的意思是“所使用的符號語言不準(zhǔn)確”，文章第三段中提到了intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure告訴我們這些符號并不是不準(zhǔn)確；選項C的意思是“非常少的發(fā)現(xiàn)是由煉丹術(shù)士發(fā)現(xiàn)的”，文章第三段中所提到的信息告訴我們大部分發(fā)現(xiàn)都是由這些術(shù)士發(fā)現(xiàn)的，與文章內(nèi)容不符；選項D的意思是“關(guān)于化學(xué)過程的記錄不是建立在實驗的基礎(chǔ)上”，原文中明確提到所有化學(xué)知識的記錄都是建立在實驗的基礎(chǔ)上。

Part Ⅳ
71. 【答案】all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of computers
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試request后面的賓語從句中的虛擬語氣的。根據(jù)英語的語法規(guī)則，在表示“要求、命令、建議等”意思的動詞后的賓語從句中，謂語動詞要用should+動詞原形或直接用動詞原形表示虛擬語氣。
72. 【答案】If I were in your shoes
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試虛擬語氣的一中特殊條件句。在這句話中，我們用“If I were in your shoes”來表示虛擬的條件。如果有了這一條件句，其后的主語從句要用虛擬語氣。
73. 【答案】postponing such a conference to the end of this quarter
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試動詞mind后面所跟的結(jié)構(gòu)的。在這句話中，mind是動詞，意為“介意，在乎”，其后跟ving形式。所以，這里我們用postponing。另外，“季度”的英文表達(dá)是quarter。
74. 【答案】With various factors considered
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)中的非謂語動詞的。由于這里從句的主語既不是主句的主語，也不是主句的賓語。所以，這里我們用了介詞with來引導(dǎo)這一結(jié)構(gòu)。另外，名詞factors和動詞consider之間是動賓關(guān)系，所以用了consider的過去分詞。
75. 【答案】After having his hair cut
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試have sth. done這一結(jié)構(gòu)的。have sth. done所表達(dá)的意思是“讓別人做某事”。另外，類似的結(jié)構(gòu)還有：have sb. do sth.意思是“讓某人做某事”，用該結(jié)構(gòu)時，說話人知道動作的發(fā)出者是誰，而have sth. done不知道動作的發(fā)出者，或者動作的發(fā)出者不重要。
76. 【答案】the least of which the lack of water is not
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試定語從句中的先行詞和關(guān)系代詞的。我們把該定語從句完全展開后，就成為the lack of water is not the least of the problems。由于problems已經(jīng)成為了先行詞，這樣，我們就用了關(guān)系代詞which，而且把the least of放在了前面。
77. 【答案】will rise to 500 tons per month
【詳細(xì)解答】本題測試動詞的及物與不及物問題。在英語中，表示“升高，增長”的動詞有rise和raise，其中前者是不及物動詞，而后者是及物動詞。在這句話的翻譯過程中，很明顯，我們不知道動作的發(fā)出者是誰，因此這里我們應(yīng)該用不及物動詞。所以，這里我們翻譯成will rise to 500 tons per month。
78. 【答案】on having enough money to enjoy themselves outside
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試動詞與介詞的搭配的。動詞concentrate后面要跟介詞on或upon，然后在介詞后跟名詞或動名詞。所以，我們把這個短語翻譯成on having enough money。其后的動詞不定式短語表示目的。另外，我們把“痛快地享受”翻譯成了“enjoy themselves”。
79. 【答案】don’t forget to tell your sister to buy some steak in the supermarket
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試動詞后面在結(jié)構(gòu)不同時的不同意義的。眾所周知，動詞forget后面可以跟動詞不定式，也可以跟動詞的-ing形式。在這兩種情況下，前者的意思是“不要忘了去做某事”，還沒有發(fā)生這一動作；而后者的意思是“不要忘了做過某事”，該動作已經(jīng)發(fā)生。由于這里動作還沒有發(fā)生，故用前者。
80. 【答案】prefer to play the computers rather than consult the reference books in the library.
【詳細(xì)解答】本題是測試動詞的固定結(jié)構(gòu)的。prefer后面跟動詞不定式時，接著要用rather than，其后接著用動詞原形，來表示愿意做前者，而不愿意做后者。
Part Ⅴ
寫作指導(dǎo)：
該題是一篇典型的“三段論”作文。從結(jié)構(gòu)上來說，應(yīng)該這樣行文：在文章的第一段，作者應(yīng)該把重點放在正面的觀點上；而在文章的第二段，就應(yīng)該與第一段構(gòu)成鮮明的對比，把反面的觀點表達(dá)清楚。在文章的第三段，作者再提出自己的觀點。
這篇文章的重點應(yīng)該放在第一段或者第二段上。這取決于作者的態(tài)度。如果你認(rèn)為在國內(nèi)學(xué)習(xí)比較好，第一段就是本文的重點段落，就應(yīng)該在這一部分多花一些筆墨；如果你認(rèn)為應(yīng)該到美國留學(xué)，第二段就是本文的重心。而在文章結(jié)束的第三段中，作者只需用幾句話表明自己的觀點即可，可以贊成前者，也可以贊成后者，也可以保持中立。在文章的結(jié)尾，用兩句話發(fā)出號召即可。
參考范文：
Studying Abroad
Nowadays students can study either in their home country or in foreign countries, in most cases, the United States. Some prefer to stay in their home country and study. Others think studying in the United States is more beneficial. As a matter of fact, each situation has its own advantages.
When students study in their home country, they have no language barriers. They can read books with their mother tongue very easily. They can also discuss their lessons with the teachers or the fellow students very freely. Since they are accustomed to the way they have been living, they have little difficulties in life. Besides, they have little financial difficulties in the process of their studies because they can easily get financial support from their parents or their relatives.When students attend schools in the United States, they can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures to promote international understanding. They can also tend to be spokespersons for other cultures and people who may be misunderstood by Americans. They can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures to increase the awareness of their own culture. In addition, they can learn advanced knowledge of science and technology, and learn English much more quickly than in their home country.
I think it’ s better to study in the United States because the advantages to studying in the US outweigh those to staying in one’ s home country.
