　　Passage 1

　　Researchers have found that REM(rapid eye movement)sleep is important to human beings.Thistype of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep,lasting five minutesto forty mimutes for each occurrence.The deeper a person's sleep becomes,the longer the periodsof rapid eye movement.

　　There are physical changes in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement)to REM sleep.Breathing becomes faster,the heart rate increases,and,as the name implies,the eyes begin to move quickly.

　　Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep.It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.

　　Passage 2

　　Eating habits change from generation to generation.Before scientists learned about vitamins and other constituents of food,such as proteins and carbohydrates(碳水化合物)，people believed in eating large quantities of food and were not concerned so much about a balanced diet.A hearty eighteenth century meal could consist of as many as twenty courses and would probably knock out many of us today!The Romans were famous for their enormous feasts and insatiable appetites.

　　In the year 2020 people's eating habits may be just as surprising but in a very different sort of way.With a world-wide growth in population,food production will become exclusively mechanical and scientific.There may well be an end to food as we know it today.Meals,as we know them may become a thing of the past.Food constituents and vitamins may be taken in the form of capsules(胶囊)，tablets and pills.The thought of these highly artificial food constituents replacing present day foods may not be very attractive,but they may be the answer to food shortage and world famine.

　　5.()According to the passage,people in the eighteenth century .

　　A.were stronger

　　B.were richer

　　C.had better appetites

　　D.believed in eating more

　　6.()The word “enormous”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to .

　　A.delicious

　　B.friendly

　　C.attractive

　　D.plenty

　　7.()Which of the following may be the best answer to food shortage and world famine?

　　A.The discovery of proteins and carbohydrates.

　　B.The production of artificial food constituents.

　　C.People's concern of a balanced diet.

　　D.The invention of capsules,tablets and pills. 　　Passage 3

　　Today we do not measure the speed of computer functions in minutes,or in seconds,or even in hundredths(1/100)or thousandths(1/1000)of seconds.We measure the speed of computers in billionthsof seconds.We call one billionth of a second a nansecond.

　　Computers were not always so fast,of course.In fact,at one time,the human mind could perform calculations faster than a computer.Let us look briefly at the development of the computer.We will see that the Computer Revolution happened only when computers developed their incredible speed.

　　In 1833,Charles Babbage built his “analytical engine”，the first computing machine.His colleague,Augusta Ada,the Countess of Lovelace,continued Babbage's work.She became the first programmer in history.Fifty years later,Herman Hollerith designed a machine that counted automatically.This machine was used to count the number of people in the United States for the 1890 census.It used a system of punch cards.Hollerith's company,by the way,eventually became IBM(International Business Machines)。

　　The first large digital computer was built by IBM in 1944.It was called the Mark I.Then in 1947,IBM built the Mark II.Today we cannot imagine how slow these computers were,just as we cannot imagine how fast modern computers were,just as we cannot imagine how fast modern computers are.These computers needed one or two seconds to perform one calculation.In these same years,electronic computers developed.They were much faster than the huge,slow Mark I and Mark II.ENIAC is the name of the first all-electronic computer,built in 1944 and 1945.The world was amazed to learn the speed of this computer:5,000 additions per second,and 300 multiplications per second.Today we smile at these “slow”speeds.

　　Then in 1960 the real“revolution”began with the introduction of integrated circuits.Today,thousands of transistor circuits can fit on one small silicon chip.As a result,we now measure the speed of computers in nanoseconds.

　　8.()According to the passage,which of the following is the most important feature of a modern computer?

　　A.Its small size.

　　B.Its analytical power.

　　C.Its incredible speed.

　　D.Its system of punch cards.

　　9.()What brought about the speed of computers in nanoseconds?

　　A.The invention of digital computer.

　　B.The introduction of integrated circuits.

　　C.The design of an automatic counting machine.

　　D.The founding of Hollerith's IBM.

　　10.()The best title for this passage would be ______.

　　A.The Computer and the silicon chip

　　B.The Computer Revolution:Birth of the Nanosecond

　　C.Five Thousand Additions in One Second

　　D.IBM:International Business Machines Corporation

　　Passage 1

　　If you don't use a dictionary,what should you do instead?The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word neans.Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word.Even if you can't work out the meaning exactly,you may be able to get a vague idea,enough to enable you to continue reading.

　　Sometimes it is impossible to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is important enough to make it worth while stopping and looking it up in a dictionary

　　，or whether you can just pass it by.

　　Many times in your reading,you will come across words which you don't know,but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text.You can make your dictionary use much more efficient if you only look up the words which are necessary to understand the text,and this means that you must develop the skill to decide whether the words are worth looking up.

　　1)The passage mainly tells us in our reading what we should do________.

　　A.without knowledge of English

　　B.when we look up words in a dictionary

　　C.when we are guessing new words

　　D.without using dictionary

　　2)Even if you can't work out the meaning exactly,you may be able to get a vague idea.Here “vague”means________.

　　A.mysterious

　　B.not clear

　　C.exact

　　D.important

　　3)In our reading some words we don't know________.

　　A.help us to understand the text well

　　B.don't prevent us from understanding the main points of the text

　　C.will be remembered forever

　　D.are borrowed from other langeages

　　4)In this passage the writer________.

　　A.advised us to use the dictionary as much as possible

　　B.told us not to be discouraged by the sight of a dictionary

　　C.gave us some advice on how to deal with these unknown words

　　D.introduced some ways to take notes in the course of reading 　　Passage 2

　　There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid cat catching cold.Contrary to popular belief,colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather.Colds are caused by viruses(病毒)harbored in the body,and you're better off out on the ski slopes even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a rather warm room,surrounded by friends,co-workers,or fellow students,who just may be passing the virus around.If you feel a chill(发冷)when you're coming down with a cold,you're already sick.A shill is an early symptom:It's the cold that caused the chill,not the other way around

　　While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes,surprisingly,this is not the most common route of transmission.Studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are “caught”by hand contact.A cold-sufferer rubs her nose,thereby transferring the virus to her hand.Then a friend comes to visit.“Don't kiss me,”she cautions,so the friend steps back and presses her hand.The friend then wipes her own nose or eye-and several days later is stricken with a cold.Or parents pick up their child's discarded tissues(面纸)and carefully throw them away,but fail to wash their hands afterward.

　　Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects-telephones,towels,

　　plates-and remain in fectious for up to three hours.Frequent hand-washing-on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household-will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.

　　5)Which of the following steps you take will most probably cause you to catch a cold?

　　A.To expose yourself to sever weather.

　　B.To be on the ski slopes.

　　C.To wait for the bus on a snowy day.

　　D.To stay in a rather warm room with a lot of prople.

　　6)To prevent viruses from spreading,we should________.

　　A)shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them

　　B)never touch the telepones,towels or plates

　　C)often wash our hands

　　D)often rub our noses and eyes

　　7)The best title for this passage might be________.

　　A.Colds and Viruses

　　B.Ways to Avoid Colds

　　C.The Spread of Viruses

　　D.Hand Contact and Transmissions of Viruses

　　Passage 3

　　When young people get their first real jobs,they may tace a lot of new,confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations.Eventually,they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.

　　Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave im the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so,you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example,you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more important,you will be able to see what is his qpproach to day-to-day situations.

　　while you are observing your colleague(同事)，you should be asking yourself whether his be havior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model,you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.

　　8)The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world,because________.

　　A.what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new life

　　B.they are not well educated

　　C.the society is too complicated to adapt to

　　D.they failed to work hard at school

　　9)The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is .

　　A.to find a worker and follow him closely

　　B.fo find a person you admire and make friends with him

　　C.to find a person you respect and watch carefully how he acts in different situations

　　D.to make the acquaintance of a model you admire

　　10)the passage could be best entitled________.

　　A.learn from a Model

　　B.Learn,Learn and Learn Again

　　C.University and the working World

　　D.One Is Never Too Old to Learn 　　6.完形填空(10%)

　　Life insurance isn't fun to buy.It forces you to think about your death,a subject many prefer not no face.But there's a single,overriding reason to buy life insurance:to provide an income for your dependents should you die.

　　Don't depend only on an agent to figure your life-insurance needs.Rule-of-thumb estimates such as five or eight times your income are guesses;they may produce too little or too much insurance.Carry too little insurance and you may not provide a reasonable standard of living for your family after your death;carry too much and you may not enjoy a reasonable of living while you are alive.

　　Most people who have life insurance don't have enough.The median amount of coverage for all adults with life insurance was only ￡15 000

　　in 1984.That's obviously not enough to sustain a family with young children for very long.Nationwide Insurance found that the married men in its 1984 survey carried an average of about ￡101 880 in life insurance;they needed about ￡100 706 more.Married women carried about ￡43 516 worth insurance needed some ￡98 507 more.

　　How do you determine the amount of life insurance you would need to maintain your family's current life style if the breadwinner died?First,figure what your family's expenses would be if you died tomorrow.Then analyze your assets and the sources of income that you can use to cover the expenses,Finally,subtract(减去)the assets from the needs.The result is the amount of additional insurance that you'll need to buy.

　　5)The reason why life insurance is not fun to buy lies in that________.

　　A.many people prefer not fo face the subject

　　B.there is a single.overriding reason

　　C.in reminds you that you may die one day

　　D.it forces you to think

　　6)If you carry too lottle or too much insurance________.

　　A.either you or your family might suffer

　　B.you may not provide a reasonable standard of living for your family after your death

　　C.you may not enjoy a reasonable standard of living while you're alive

　　D.you will know in the end that they are just wild guesses

　　7)How do you determine the amount of life insurance you would need?

　　A.Analyze your assets and sources of income

　　B.Estimate your family's expenses

　　C.Take away the assets from the expenses

　　D.All of the above

　　Passage 3

　　The beavers of North America build a dam to create an artificial lake in which to construct an island home or lodge.Often the beavers work in colonies.After choosing a narrow place in a shallow stream with a firm bottom,they set to work felling trees by standing on their hind legs and gnawing(咬)round the trunks with their large chisel-like teeth.When the tree is down,the beavers lop(砍)off the branches and cut the trunk into suitable lengths which they drag into the stream and sink across the current.Sticks,stones and mud are used to keep the dam in position and make it watertight.

　　In the middle of the lake thus created the beavers use the same materials to build their lodge.When completed this is a dome-shaped(圆屋顶的)，ventilated(通风的)structure about 8 feet in diameter and rising well clear of the surface of the lake.There are two entrances,both under water.One of these is used for general purpose,the other as an escape route in an emergency or for bringing in food.

　　The lodge serves as a home,a nursery for the baby beavers and a storehouse for food in winter.The beavers feed chiefly on the bark of trees,of which they keep a plentiful supply at the bottom of the dam,on the ded of the lake and built into the fabric of their home.

　　In winter,when the lake is frozen over and snow covers the ground,the lodge is virtually an impregnable(牢不可破的)fortress(堡垒)which the beavers can leave and enter by swimming under the ice.Beavers are experts at keeping the water in the lake at the right level by constructing canals.They work industriously to maintain both dam and lodge -hence the origin of that popular phrase about being “as busy as a beaver”。

　　8)The main idea of this passage is________.

　　A.the beaver's living habit

　　B.the beaver's eating habit

　　C.the beaver's working habit

　　D.the beaver's protection habit from its enemy

　　9)According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?

　　A.Beavers have large teeth like shisels.

　　B.Beavers'home is dome-shaped and ventilated.

　　C.The island home has two entrances,both of which are near the surface of water.

　　D.Beavers chiefly eat barks of trees.

　　10)The author adds the popular phrase “as busy a beaver”to the end of the passage just for________.

　　A.introfucing the origin of the popular phrase

　　B.concluding the hard-working character of the beavers

　　C.giving entertainment to the readers

　　D.showing the wide range of knowledge of the author himself 　　6.完形填空(10%)

　　7.将下面的短文译成汉语。(15%)

　　Man still has a lot to nearn about the most powerful and complex part of his body-the brain.

　　In ancient times men did not think that the brain was the center of mental activity.Aristotle the philosopher of ancient Greece thought that the mind was based in the heart.It was not until the 18th century that men realized that the whole of the brain was involved in the workings of the mind.

　　During the 19th century scientists found that when certain parts of the brain were damaged men lost the ability to do certain things.And so,people thought that each part of the brain controlled a different activity.But modern research has found that this is not so.It is not easy to say exactly what each part of the brain does.
