During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community.
Specific changes for intercampus bus services, the cafeteria, and summer hours for the infirmary(医务室)
and recreational and athletic facilities will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the cafeteria. Weekly
movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged will be posted each Wednesday
outside of the cafeteria.
Intercampus buses will leave the main hall every hour on the half hour and make all of the regular stops
on their route around the campus. The cafeteria will serve breakfast, lunch, and every dinner from 7 a.m to
7p.m. during the week and from the noon to 7 p.m. on weekends. The library will maintain regular hours
during the week, but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p.m.
All students who want to use the library borrowing services and the recreational, athletic, and
entertainment facilities must have valid summer identification cards. This announcement will also appear in
the next issue of the student newspaper.

Passage 2
Ask three people to look out the window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances
are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察
觉)something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he
sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket(罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at
the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in
tow(拉着). For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses---in this case our eyes---tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the
world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can
control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find
out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
26. Seeing and perceiving are
A) the same action.
B) two actions carried on entirely by the eyes.
C) two separate actions.
D) several actions that take place at different times.

B) Learning About Our Minds Through Science.
C) What Psychologists Perceive.
D) How To Become An Experimental Psychologist
Passage 3
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. Your are probably a lot
sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington,
concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates and temperature have a
definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does
not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean,
however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.
Spring appears to be the beat period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring
man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long
vacation from thinking
31. According to the passage, man’s intelligence_________A) Varies from day to day
B) Stays the same throughout the year
C) Changes with the seasons
D) Changes from year to year
32. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have________
A) some effect on a few people’s intelligence
B) a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
C) some effect on most people’s intelligence
D) no effect on most people’s intelligence
33. Ellsworth Huntington’s conclusion was based on____A) variations of his own mental abilities from season to season
B) the results of research done by him and other scientists among peoples in different climates
C) detailed records of temperature changes in different places
D) detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples on different climates
34. Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking? ____
A) Because a long vacation in summer helps to improve people’s mental power.
B) Because people tend to be less creative during summer.
C) Because summer is a good time for outdoor activities
D) Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of people’s energy.
35. The central idea of this passage is______
A) man’s mental abilities change from season to season
B) man’s intelligence varies from place to place
C) man should take a long vacation in summer
D) if you want to do creative thinking, go to a cool place
Passage 4
If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis
or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public
school system, however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we
depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many
fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large
numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of
experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective
thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The
question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts
but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public
is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these
should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis
of courses for beginners.
36. According to the first paragraph ,the task of education is fairly complicated because______
A) the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B) the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C) it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools
D) the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students.
37. The word ”defeated”(Line3, para.2 most probably means_______.
A) broken
B) beaten
C) destroyed
D) damaged
38. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A) One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students
B) In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular field
C) Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.
D) The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors
39. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A) students should learn more up-to-date knowledge
B) lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of scientific
services
C) Students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches of knowledge
D) Sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge
40. The best title for this passage might be_________A) Balance in Education
B) Educational System in Public School
C) Current Situation in Education
D) Importance of Teaching Science and Technology

Passage One
Voluntary Service Overseas (VSC) is a registered charity dedicated to assisting development in the
world's poor countries. It is an independent non-sectarian organisation. VSO is a direct response to an urgent
need. Each year about 450 volunteers are sent to work on projects in 36 developing countries. Each
volunteer goes overseas in response to a specific appeal from a developing country Over the past 23 years
more than 20,000 volunteers have worked abroad with VSO. Together they have contributed over 30,000
man-years to development.
But VSO volunteers gain as well as give. They gain responsibility, experience and a personal viewpoint
on development. On their return they can make an effective contribution to the development debate. Above
all, VSO is said that the Third World needs. For this reason the Third World countries themselves pay almost
half the cost of each VSO volunteer.
When VSO was established over 20 years ago, the first volunteers were school-leavers, However,
increasingly the demand was for skilled and professional people. Today., all VSO volunteers are skilled
and/or qualified people--teachers and doctors, mechanics an electricians, accountants and civil engineers.
Why do they volunteer? To make a person-contribution, to take on extra responsibility, to gain overseas
work experience, to work within a community---often for all these reasons. The task of VSO is to match
these specialists with particular vacancies, notified to them by overseas countries- Then, having made the
match, they prepare the volunteer to work for two years in a very different environment.
31. The work of VSO is concerned with_____
A. helping the poor in all parts of the world

Passage 2
One day Mr. Kerry was walking along the Strand in London, killing time, when his eye was caught by
an enormous picture displayed upon the wall of a house. It represented a human figure covered with long,
dark hair, with huge nails upon his hands and a most fearful expression. On coming nearer, he heard a man
call out 'Walk in, ladies and gentlemen, the most wonderful curiosity ever exhibited-only five pence-the wild
man from Africa-he eats raw food, and many other pleasing and surprising performances. Mr. Kerry paid his
money and was admitted. At first the crowd prevented his seeing anything, for the place was full of
suffocation(窒息), and the noise was awful. At last, Mr. Kerry obtained, by dint of squeezing and pushing, a
place in the front, when to his horror, he saw a figure that was far worse than the portrait outside.
It was a man, nearly naked, covered with long, shaggy hair, that grew even over his nose and
cheekbones. He sprang about, sometimes his feet, sometimes on all-fours, but always uttering the most
fearful yells, and glaring upon the crowd in a manner that was really dangerous. Mr. Kerry did not feel
exactly happy at the whole proceeding, and began heartily to wish himself outside. Suddenly, thc savage
gave a more frantic scream than before and seized a morsel(小块) of raw beef which a keeper extended to
him on a long fork. This he tore to pieces eagerly, and devoured in the most voracious(贪婪的) manner,
amid great clapping of hands and other evidence of satisfaction from the audience: 'I'll go now', thought Mr.
Kerry, 'for who knows whether, in his hungry moods, he might not fancy finishing his dinner with me.' Just
at this instant, some sounds struck his ear that surprised him. He listened more attentively and, to his
amazement, found that amid the most fearful cries and wild yells, the savage was talking Irish. Now, Mr.
Kerry had never heard of an African Irishman so he listened very closely, and, by degrees, not only thc
words were known to him, but the very voice was familiar, so turning to the savage he addressed him in Irish,
at the same time fixing him with a severe look.
'Who are you?' said Mr. Kerry.
'Billy McCabe, sir.'
'And what do you mean by playing your tricks here, instead of earning your living like an honest man?'
'Well,' said Billy, 'I'm earning the rent to pay you. One must do many strange things to pay the kind of
rent you charge.'
36. Mr. Kerry was walking along the Strand because _____
A he had nothing else to do.
B he was late for an appointment.
C he was looking for something to do.
D he was reluctant to go home.
37. Inside the house, at first, Mr. Kerry____

Passage 3
During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the intriguing story was reported of a tramp(流浪汉)
who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on
Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead
beat and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper Security checks were made before the store was
locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last minute
Christmas presents
However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it.
There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have
been television sets and radios Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the
shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to
have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament---as indeed vagrants(流浪汉) very
commonly arc. Everyone also was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the
same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken way by the police. Perhaps he had bad a better
Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for Seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the
chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received
valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the
judge had had a good Christmas too.
41. The tramp was locked in the store____
A for his mistakes.

A laughed at the police.
B looked forward to going to pr)son.
C rook his bottles with him.
D didn't make any fuss
45. Why didn't the judge award compensation to the chain store?
A The tramp had stolen nothing of value
B The store had profited by the incident.
C The tramp deserved a happy Christmas
D The store was responsible for what happened.
Passage 4
During the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries the London district of Southwark was
prospering(繁荣的) and an extremely important and far-reaching development was taking place at Bankside,
an area situated just beside the church now known as Southwark Cathedral. The Rose Theatre the Swan, the
Hope Playhouse and Bear Garden, were set up here along with the famous Globe Theatre, in which
Shakespeare acted.
William Shakespeare is commemorated in Sourhwark Cathedral today by the modern memorial window in
the south aisle. The window was designed by Christopher Webb in 1954, after an earlier window had been
destroyed in the war, and depicts characters from Shakespeare's plays. Beneath it is a recumbent alabaster
figure( 卧 像 ) of Shakespeare, carved by Henry McCarthy in 1912, set against a background of
seventeenth-century Southwark in relief, showing the Globe Theatre, Winchester Palace and the Tower of St.
Saviours Church. This memorial was provided by public subscription and was dedicated in 1911, and every
year a birthday service, attended by many great actors and actresses, is held here in honour of Shakespeare's
genius. Shakespeare's brother Edmund was buried here in 1607, and, although the position of Edmund's
grave is unknown, he is commemorated by an inscribed stone in the paving of the choir.
46. In Shakespeare's lifetime Bankside in Southwark was notable for____
A the style of its buildings.

A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the
jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven’t.
The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American leaders. Had Lincoln lived,
it might well be that his postwar policies would have brought criticisms upon him that would have
tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassin’s bullet erased in the minds of Americans any faults
he had and emphasized his virtues.
Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist
with those of a forward-looking industrialist.
Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in
recent years than in the past, could it be that we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?

Part II Reading Comprehension(40%)
Task 1
But there is also a deeper level to our uneasiness. For we grew up to think with Emerson that America
is the country of young men. That was part of our heritage of optimism, of our faith in progress. A
society that believed in inevitable improvement that judged tomorrow always better than yesterday,
necessarily ascribed a special virtue to youth, less constricted by the errors of the past, more responsive
to the opportunities of the future. It was proper that the young should rise up against the old;
experience would always justify the rebellion In fact, the old rather expected that this would happen and
could enjoy the burden of progress. Perhaps we in our group resent this present generation so much
because we fear they are stealing from us the leisure of our conservatism. How can we sit by if they too
accept the status quo ante(原状) and if no one pushes forward?
31. The reader may most safely conclude that the author
a) was a contemporary of Emerson.
b) rebelled against authority when he was young.
c) looks forward to having more leisure.
d) considers himself a member of the older genera-tion.
32. The main idea of the passage is
a) a review of the American heritage of optimism.
b) a praise of the young people's virtue.
c) a deep concern about whether the young people will keep up the traditional pioneering spirit
d) a defense of conservatism
33. According to the passage, Emerson was esteemed(尊敬) for his
a)love of America as a country for younger generation.
b)justification of the errors made by the old generation in the past.
c)upholding of American heritage.
d)confidence in the following generations on whom the future of the U.S relies.
34. The young people, according to the passage, are now actually
a) rising up against the old
b) by pushing forward to a brighter tomorrow.
c) responsive to the opportunities of the future.
d) satisfied with the present state of affairs.
35. To youth , less constricted by the errors of the past-----The word “constricted” is closest in meaning to
a) determined not to repeat (the errors of the past).
b) move forward on the strength of past lessons.
c) slow or stop the natural course of development.
d) stimulated into sudden activity.
Task 2
In 776 BC the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greeks' chief
god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth. Therefore,
contests in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing, boxing and horse and chariot racing were held
in individual cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly
honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads and having poems sung about their deeds.
Originally these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in progress were halted to allow the
games to take place.
The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four-year cycles
called Olympiads' dating from 776 B.C.

Task 3
The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite children’s game. But a badly
thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made
what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines.
Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even
though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had
developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball more for
instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and
skill they would need for war.

Part II. Reading Comprehension (40%)
Passage One
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. Your are probably a lot
sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington,
concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates and temperature have a
definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does
not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean,
however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.
Spring appears to be the beat period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring
man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long
vacation from thinking
36. According to the passage, man’s intelligence_________A Stays the same throughout the year

37. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have________
A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
B. some effect on most people’s intelligence
C. some effect on a few people’s intelligence
D. no effect on most people’s intelligence
38. Ellsworth Huntington’s conclusion was based on____A. variations of his own mental abilities from season to season
B. the results of research done by him and other scientists among peoples in different climates
C. detailed records of temperature changes in different places
D. detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples on different climates
39. Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vacation from thinking? ____
A. Because a long vacation in summer helps to improve people’s mental power.
B. Because people tend to be less creative during summer.
C. Because summer is a good time for outdoor activities
D. Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of people’s energy.
40. The central idea of this passage is______
A. man’s mental abilities change from season to season
B. man’s intelligence varies from place to place
C. man should take a long vacation in summer
D. if you want to do creative thinking, go to a cool place
Passage Two
On November 19,1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the
National Soldiers Cemetery The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln
at the time He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of courtesy. The
principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a
handsome man and very popular everywhere.
It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night,
alone in his hotel room and tire out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first.
He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then
Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes.
At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, “I have failed again.” On the
train back to Washington he commented sadly, “That speech was a flat failure, and the people are
disappointed.
Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they
began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech
which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.

Passage Three
The word horsepower was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world’s first
widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time
there were no units for measuring power.
Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit
one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine
could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the
horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.

Passage Four
For every man in the Civil War who died in battle, two or three men died of disease. Doctors of that
time knew very little about causes of sickness or ways of preventing it. Thousands of men in poor health
became soldiers. Hundreds of others had never had childhood diseases. Many of these soldiers could not
withstand the epidemics of measles, mumps, and whooping cough that went through the camps.
Army life was hard . Soldiers got few fruits or vegetables . There was no milk unless they
happened to find a cow. Neither their clothes nor their shelters protected the troops from rain, snow , and
cold. Sickness and disease were spread by insects, rats, and impure drinking water. Often the men drank
straight from muddy streams. Gunshot wounds were serious, as in any war, but they did not cause as much
death and suffering as disease did.
