　　Part Ⅱ
        　　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(廉价商品部). 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(无节制)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.

ensix

        　　Part Ⅳ
        　　71. 【答案】all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of
computers【详细解答】本题是测试request后面的宾语从句中的虚拟语气的。根据英语的语法规则，在表示"要求、命令、建议等"意思的动词后的宾语从句中，谓语动词要用should+动词原形或直接用动词原形表示虚拟语气。
        　　72. 【答案】If I were in your shoes【详细解答】本题是测试虚拟语气的一中特殊条件句。在这句话中，我们用"If I were
in your shoes"来表示虚拟的条件。如果有了这一条件句，其后的主语从句要用虚拟语气。
        　　73. 【答案】postponing such a conference to the end of this
quarter【详细解答】本题是测试动词mind后面所跟的结构的。在这句话中，mind是动词，意为"介意，在乎"，其后跟ving形式。所以，这里我们用postponing。另外，"季度"的英文表达是quarter。
        　　74. 【答案】With various factors
considered【详细解答】本题是测试独立主格结构中的非谓语动词的。由于这里从句的主语既不是主句的主语，也不是主句的宾语。所以，这里我们用了介词with来引导这一结构。另外，名词factors和动词consider之间是动宾关系，所以用了consider的过去分词。
        　　75. 【答案】After having his hair cut【详细解答】本题是测试have sth. done这一结构的。have sth.
done所表达的意思是"让别人做某事"。另外，类似的结构还有：have sb. do
sth.意思是"让某人做某事"，用该结构时，说话人知道动作的发出者是谁，而have sth. done不知道动作的发出者，或者动作的发出者不重要。
        　　76. 【答案】the least of which the lack of water is
not【详细解答】本题是测试定语从句中的先行词和关系代词的。我们把该定语从句完全展开后，就成为the lack of water is not the
least of the problems。由于problems已经成为了先行词，这样，我们就用了关系代词which，而且把the least
of放在了前面。
        　　77. 【答案】will rise to 500 tons per
month【详细解答】本题测试动词的及物与不及物问题。在英语中，表示"升高，增长"的动词有rise和raise，其中前者是不及物动词，而后者是及物动词。在这句话的翻译过程中，很明显，我们不知道动作的发出者是谁，因此这里我们应该用不及物动词。所以，这里我们翻译成will
rise to 500 tons per month。
        　　78. 【答案】on having enough money to enjoy themselves outside
【详细解答】本题是测试动词与介词的搭配的。动词concentrate后面要跟介词on或upon，然后在介词后跟名词或动名词。所以，我们把这个短语翻译成on
having enough money。其后的动词不定式短语表示目的。另外，我们把"痛快地享受"翻译成了"enjoy themselves"。
        　　79. 【答案】don't forget to tell your sister to buy some steak in the
supermarket【详细解答】本题是测试动词后面在结构不同时的不同意义的。众所周知，动词forget后面可以跟动词不定式，也可以跟动词的
-ing形式。在这两种情况下，前者的意思是"不要忘了去做某事"，还没有发生这一动作;而后者的意思是"不要忘了做过某事"，该动作已经发生。由于这里动作还没有发生，故用前者。
        　　80. 【答案】prefer to play the computers rather than consult the reference
books in the library.【详细解答】本题是测试动词的固定结构的。prefer后面跟动词不定式时，接着要用rather
than，其后接着用动词原形，来表示愿意做前者，而不愿意做后者。
        　　Part Ⅴ
        　　写作指导：
        　　该题是一篇典型的"三段论"作文。从结构上来说，应该这样行文：在文章的第一段，作者应该把重点放在正面的观点上;而在文章的第二段，就应该与第一段构成鲜明的对比，把反面的观点表达清楚。在文章的第三段，作者再提出自己的观点。
        　　这篇文章的重点应该放在第一段或者第二段上。这取决于作者的态度。如果你认为在国内学习比较好，第一段就是本文的重点段落，就应该在这一部分多花一些笔墨;如果你认为应该到美国留学，第二段就是本文的重心。而在文章结束的第三段中，作者只需用几句话表明自己的观点即可，可以赞成前者，也可以赞成后者，也可以保持中立。在文章的结尾，用两句话发出号召即可。
        　　参考范文：
        　　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.
