Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions : There are 3 passages in 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 decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Some psychologists(心理學家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed
in the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76)
It may be said that we think with
our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears
but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (樂隊) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
( 77 )
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same
way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
1. Some psychologists think that thinking is
A. not a mental process
B. more of a physical process than a mental action
C. a process that involves our entire bodies
D. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in that
A. both are mental acts
B. muscles participate in both processes
C. both processes are performed by the entire body
D. we derive equal enjoyment from them
3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music without
A. moving some part of their body
B. stopping what they are doing to listen
C. directing the orchestra playing it
D. wishing that they could conduct music properly
4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music is
A. the unnoticed motion of his muscles
B. "participating" in the performance
C. bending an ear to the music
D. being the conductor of the orchestra
5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is
A. deliberate
B. Apparent
C. indistinct
D. impressive
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78)
The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and
skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes
not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in
the way an animal typically behaves. (79)
Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be-
cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-
year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to
compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.
A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.
6. According to the passage, memory is considered to be
A. the basis for decision making and problem solving
B. an ability to store experiences for future use
C. an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words
7. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that
A. the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' s
B. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' s
C. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' s
D. both A and B
8. The whole passage implies that
A. only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respect
C. animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence
9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced by
A. "in connection with"
B. "expressed by"
C. "consisting"
D. "by means of"
10. The topic of the passage is:
A. What would life be like without memory ?
B. Memory is of vital importance to life.
C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?
D. What is contained in memory ?
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to
buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,
they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things
as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the
Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest
kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in
England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other
countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the
Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80)
The first paper
money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
11. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?
A. To sell a bicycle for $20.
B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.
C. To buy things you need or want.
D. To get paid for your work.
12. Where were shells used as money in history?
A. In the Philippines.
B. In China.
C. In Africa.
D. We don' t know.
13. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?
A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.
B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.
C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.
D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.
14. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy some-
thing expensive?
A. Because they are easy to steal.
B. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.
C. Because they are not easy to carry around.
D. Because they themselves are expensive, too.
15. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?
A. Money and Its Uses
B. Different Things Used as Money
C. Different Countries, Different Money
D. The History of Money

選作題I：
Part I Dialogue Communication．
01-05：CCCDA 06-10：BCAAA 11-15：BACDA
Part I Reading Comprehension
Passage l
1．D事實細節題。第一段第一句提到一些心理學家認為精神活動如思考不僅是大腦的活動，而且肌肉也參與其中，所以選D。
2．B 事實細節題。第一段最后一句提到我們用肌肉思考與用身體聽音樂在某種程度上是一樣的，所以選B。
3．A事實細節題。第二段中提到很少有人聽音樂時不扭動自己的身體，所以選A。
4．B推理判斷題。第三段第二句提到如果一個人不參與到音樂中，也就是音樂演奏中，那他就無法從音樂中獲得所有的樂趣。
5．C事實細節題。文章最后一句提到肌肉以同樣的方式參與了思考的過程，但并不是十分明顯，因為它不是很容易被注意到。distinct“明顯的，顯著的”，前綴in表示否定。indistinct “不明顯的，不顯著的”。
Passage 2
6．B事實細節題。根據文章第二段的第一句，記憶力就是儲存信息以供將來使用的能力。所以選B。A、C、D都是記憶力特點的一個方面，不能單獨解釋記憶力。
7．C推理判斷題。根據文章的第三段，一臺計算機存儲的“詞匯”能達到100，000個；而一個十幾歲的少年的詞匯量也能達到100，000個。然而，根據文章，100，000個單詞只是一個十幾歲的少年全部記憶存儲的一小部分。所以，計算機的“記憶”儲備量要比一個十幾歲的少年的記憶存儲量小得多。因為比較是在計算機和青少年之間進行的，與成年人無關，所以不能選B。
8．C推理判斷題。從文章第二段小老鼠的例子可判斷，動物也有記憶，也有一定解決問題的智力，所以C是對的。根據文章最后一段第一句提到的“高級智力advanced intelligence”可知動物也有智力，只是相比人類智力低而已，所以A說只有人類才有解決問題的智力是不準確的；D說動物解決問題靠本能而不靠智力也是不對的。而根據文章的第三段，計算機在存儲“詞匯”方面和一個十幾歲的少年是一樣的，所以B說計算機存儲和人腦記憶在各方面都不一樣是錯誤的。
9．B推理判斷題。in terms of“根據；按照；用…來說”。如果不知道該短語的意思，也可通過主語“一個人的大部分記憶”和“詞或詞組”之間的關系來判斷。本句的意思是一個人的大部分記憶都是靠詞和詞組表達出來的。
10．B歸納概括題。文章的主題要根據內容來確定。第一段講的是記憶的重要作用；第二段解釋記憶是什么及其表現；第三段講人類將記憶功能運用到機器如計算機當中，并將人的記憶與計算機記憶進行比較；第四段說大部分記憶都是通過詞匯表現的。四個選項當中只有B更貼近文章的主題，其他三個選項都只是文章涉及的一個方面，都不具有概括性。
Passage 3
11．D常識經驗題。只有D(工作換取錢)才是錢與服務的交換，其余三項全是錢與商品的交換。
12．D事實細節題。由于文章沒有提到貝殼最初是在哪里被用做貨幣的，所以選D。
13．A事實細節題。見文章第四段的二、三兩句，中國古代的銅錢有孔，主要是因為人們為了攜帶方便要將之串起來。所以選A。
14．C推理判斷題。由于金銀很重，如果要花很多錢買某件東西的話，攜帶起來會很不方便。
15．D歸納概括題。本文章的寫作脈絡很清晰：先由今天的錢(紙幣或硬幣)說起，引出世界上最早的錢(每個國家都有不同的物來充當貨幣)，接著談到最早的硬幣，之后隨著錢的改進，出現了紙幣。最后作者總結錢的發展是一段有趣的歷史。可見文章的主要內容是講錢的發展歷史，所以選D。

49．A重復錯誤，應改為what happens。no matter what=whatever。

Part Ⅳ Cloze
56．B puzzled(adj．)“迷惑的，迷茫的”，主語應是人，would后跟動詞原形，因此需接be；puzzling(adj．)“使人迷惑的、引起迷茫的”，主語應是物。因此選be puzzled。
57．B表示不確定，用冠詞a／an，India是以元音音素開頭的，因此選an。
58．A整篇文章用的過去式，因此A正確。D“必須”放到原文，語氣太肯定；B和C均不符題意。
59．D what相當于something that，可以引導主語從句、賓語從句、表語從句等。該句相當于…the things that they said。
60．C on the contrary表示對比，從前一句推出，此句應表達一種肯定的語氣。因此可以先排除B和D。express“表達，表述”，后面應跟名詞做賓語，因此選agreement。
61．D該段是在講述常識，應用一般現在時，同時主語是復數，因此選have。
62．B their“他們的”，后面應跟復數名詞，因此選heads。
63．B anybody“任何人”，用于否定和疑問句；somebody“某人”，表示不確指，一般用肯定句；no-body“沒有一個人”；everybody“每一個人”。綜合上下文，B正確，表示“和某人談話”。
64．A but表示轉折。從前句“No”推出后句應填“Yes”。
65．A根據上下文，該句意為：如果某人對此習俗不了解的話，就可能產生誤解。speak常跟語言(如English，Chinese)等搭配使用；say后面跟具體的講話內容；talk指“談話”。
66．A diplomat to+地方名，表示“被派到該地方的外交官”。
67．C tell sb．to do sth．表示“告訴某人做某事”，to后面需用動詞原形。
68．D該段時態為一般過去式，下文The young diplomat repeated…說明外交官和司機之間產生了誤會。由此推出shook是正確的。
69．B request“請求，要求”；answer“答案”；question“問題”；difficulty“難題，困難”。
70．B shake one’s head意為“搖頭”。
71．A根據上下文推出此處應填diplomat。
72．C drive sb．to somewhere意為“開車送某人到某處”。
73．C表示確指概念時，名詞前需用定冠詞the修飾。
74．D in a loud／low voice意為“大聲地／小聲地說話”。

The Importance of Self-confidence
Self-confidence is very important to our life. As a wise man once said, "If you have no confi-dence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started. "
If you are full of self-confidence, your creativeness, your enthusiasm will all be aroused, and you will overcome difficulties. As a result, your dreams will come true. On the contrary, if you have no confidence in yourself, there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything. Failure will be following you. But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself. You should know both your weaknesses and strengths. Only after this can you be well in doing great things.
Try something you' ve never done before. Just taking on a challenge, whether you succeed or not, can increase your confidence. In a word, self-confidence is greatly important to our success.
