1. One of my most surprising findings as a student is 25 parents do not always accept your adulthood. I was always told that once you get to college, your parents realize that you have been living 26 your own and can make your own decisions. This idea was rejected 27 I came home for Thanksgiving. At first, everything was going as 28 (smoothly) as possible. The first night I went to the Berkeley campus to visit my friend Sara, without any argument from my mother. 29 when I called her to say I had decided to spend the night at Sara’s dorm, my mom informed me that she wanted me home at one a.m. I was wild with anger! I 30 (make) my own decisions how late a young man should stay out for several months. However much I tried to reason with my mother, she insisted things are different when I am home, and that they were the 31 paying my bills. And kids, this is true. No matter how much you want to fight it, mommy and daddy are still holding the purse strings, whether you are 18 or not. Sometimes it is best to sit back, shut up, and do 32 they ask.

A land free from destruction, plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply — all these were important factors in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution, but they were not enough. Something else 33 (need) to start the industrial process. That “something special” was men — creative individuals 34 could invent machines, find new sources of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society.

The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution came from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were more inventors than scientists. A pure scientist appreciates 35 (conduct) his research accurately. He is not necessarily working

36 his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is usually trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may strive 37 (solve) a problem by using the theories of science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain 38 specific result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of many other objectives.

Many of the people who developed the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not 39 (train) scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science 40 not have made their inventions if a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years before.

Section B Vocabulary %

Direction: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

It’s your time to deliver a speech. If you are nervous or ___65___., you will probably want to choose to read your speech from a script or from notes. Here’s a look at each option.

• Reading From a Script.
  Reading your entire speech from a script may give you confidence and ensure that nothing is forgotten or omitted, however it is the least desirable option for __66____ your speech. You will find it more difficult to see your audience, and make it harder for them to have eye contact with you. When reading from a script it is extremely difficult to deliver your speech to your audience, rather than just read it aloud.
• Using Notes
  If you are not confident enough to recite your speech from memory, then the use of notes is a much more__67___ option than using a complete script. Your notes should __68___ the keywords or points of your speech-a skeleton of thoughts or words around which you can build your speech. You may refer to your notes occasionally to maintain the thread of your speech, but for the most part you should be able to speak ___69____ to the audience.
• Reciting From Memory
  You may prefer to recite from memory. However you should only do this if you are comfortable speaking___70____ , and not likely to lose ___71___(or memory). As with reading from a script, you should be careful not to change your__72____ into a monotonous recitation of your speech.
• Summary
  If you strongly ___73___ one option, then go for it. If using any written(or printed) materials during your speech, be ware that the text should be in large print, clearly sequenced and easily read at arm’s length.
  II Cloze %
  The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.___74___it often meant hunting wild ___75__and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organizing games. This is the __76___ meaning of the word today. People __77___ a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many__78___ sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are___79__ professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can __80___ a lot of money. For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 pounds a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a__81___. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn___82 __ that.
  Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is __83__ :The stars can earn more money from advertising than from __84____. An advertisement for sports equipment does not ___85___ say “Buy our things”. It says “Buy ___86____ shirts and shoes as…”. Famous sportsmen can even ___87___ things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their __88____ or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

  III Reading Comprehension %
  (A)
  Have you ever heard the old saying, “ Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.
  Some people have minds that since only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for words and talks in a halting manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently.
  Other people may fool your into overestimating their intelligence by putting u a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes it bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
  It all boils to this---you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgement is likely to be.
  89. The best title for the passage is ______.
  1. Judging Intelligenceb. Choosing a Book
     c. A speechless Young Mand. Putting Up a Good Front
     90. The young man mentioned in the passage_______.

92. The passage suggests that in judging a person’s intelligence we should ______.

1. use cautionb. be creative

c. rely on intuitiond. give him an I. Q. test

(B)

Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%--- form 8.8 million to 11.7 million--- according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.

For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “ Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “ nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate. And most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “ The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”

93. The main idea of the passage is that _______.

1. breakfast has nothing to do with people’s health
2. a good breakfast used to be important to us
3. breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car
4. breakfast is not so important as we thought before

94. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that______.

1. several studies have been done in the past few years
2. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
3. grown-ups have especially made studies in this field
4. eating little in the morning is good for health

95. The underlined part “ nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means_____

1. people without breakfast can improve their work
2. not giving people breakfast improves work
3. having breakfast does not improve work, either
4. people having breakfast do improve their work, too.

96. What is implied but not stated by the author is that______.

1. breakfast does not affect work
2. Dr. Pollitt works at an institution of higher learning
3. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
4. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
   (C)
   Coroline Pond sets off on Thursday on a 4.500-mile journey to visit her husband, Daniel, and her two step-children. Against their will, she and Daniel are forced to live on different continents.
   The reason is that Caroline is one of hundreds of British wives who are victims of a law which prevents their foreign husbands from joining them in this country. This law makes it almost impossible for a British woman to marry a foreigner---unless she is prepared to live in her husband’s native country. But the law, which was intended to reduce the number of immigrants coming into the United Kingdom, does not apply to the British male who marries a foreign woman. He has the legal right to bring her to live with him in the country.
   “In the eyes of the law, women are second-class citizens,” Caroline says, “ In this country, we have about as many rights as a dog which belongs to a man.”
   Caroline, 27, is a demonstrator of physiology（生理学）in the Zoology Department at Oxford University. Daniel is an associate professor of Biology at Michigan University. Before they married eight months ago, she had applied to the Home Office for permission for him to live in Britain. “ It is a waste of time,” she says, “The answer is always ‘never’.”
   For the sake of her career, Caroline wishes to stay in her job for at least another 18 months and the couple was hoping to live in the small Victorian house she owns at Oxford. Ideally, while his wife is at the university, Daniel would have liked to come here and write scientific textbooks.
   “We have both accepted that I should be the breadwinner.” Caroline says, “ Daniel has always looked after the children and would continue to do so. I cannot understand why there is this law against women. After all, I pay the same taxes as a man.”
   For the past few years, Daniel and Caroline have already crossed the Atlantic 20 times between them. “ We are lucky because we can afford to pay the fares, but there must be many women who cannot.” She says.
   97. The “different continents” in the first paragraph refer to ______.
   1. Europe and Africab. Europe and North America

c. Britain and the European Continentd. Britain and North America

98. What does Caroline mean by “ this law against women” in the 6^thparagraph?

1. British women cannot marry foreign husbands
2. British women should pay more taxes than men
3. British women cannot take their foreign husbands into this country while British men can bring their foreign wives to this country.
4. British women do not have equal rights as women in other countries.

99. Why does Caroline still say that they are lucky?

1. They can meet from time to time at least.
2. They can afford to travel between the two continents.
3. They will soon live together.
4. The Home Office has working on her case.
   100. The passage was probably originally published_______.
   1. in a newspaperb. as part of a novel

c. as part of a science fictiond. as part of a legal document
