PART Ⅰ LISTENING COMPREHENSION
SECTION A TALK

Good morning, everyone. Today we’re going to talk about acid rain. You may wonder what is acid rain. Well, it is almost impossible to describe the mathematical relationship between what goes up as pollutant emissions and what comes down
as acid rain. But we do know the primary source of acid rain is the power station smoke stack. The pollutants combine with moisture in the atmosphere and they
fall as an acid mixture raising the rain. Do you know what the Germans call this acid rain?
The royal water, I mean the acid rain, falls in rain or snow on the romantic Black Forest ,and attacks the soil. Micro-organisms within the soil collapse
and metals harmful to trees like aluminum are leaked out. At the same time, the
acid rain attacks the leaves and dissolve their waxy coating. The leaves then shrivel and die. About one in every ten trees in the Black Forest is a fir. 76 per
cent of all firs are dying. The first symptoms of death by pollution in a fir is
the yellowing of the needles. At the back of the fir needle, you can see the pores through which the plant breathes. The acid rain destroys those pores, and prevent them from closing. So on a warm day, the plant loses all of its moisture through those open pores. The needles, as a result, turn yellow and die.
The statistics that are available now are horrifying. Of these trees in the Black Forest, 41% of all spruce are diseased, 43% of all pine are diseased, 2
6% of beech trees, 76% of all fir trees and 16% of all others are dying. Environmental groups like Green Peace campaign around Europe are trying to stop the acid rain.
Germany is now leading the way in attacking part of the problem. Motor vehicles are thought to contribute significantly to the pollution of the atmosphere. The by-products of motor vehicle emissions are considered dangerous to plants,and humans as well.
In order to clean up motor vehicle emissions, all new cars in Germany must meet emission standards and be fitted with a device called “catalytic converter”.
Use of the converters requires people to switch to lead-free petrol. This might explain why the Europeans are reluctant to follow Germany’s lead in cleaning up its motor vehicle emission. It’s unlikely that Germany will force her European neighbours to change to lead-free petrol. The reason is that though her neighbours may be slow in cleaning up their smoke stacks, they will have to comply with the new motor vehicle requirements if they want the wealthy German tourists driving across their borders.
Certainly, the menace of acid rain knows no borders because it gathers in the rain clouds and goes with the prevailing winds. So Canada’s lakes die from America’s pollution. Germany’s trees die from her next-door neighbors. Sweden’s lakes fall victim to Britain’s industry. And there are many similar examples. And I won’t go into them because of time constraint. 
Like Germany, the United States also introduced strict clean air-controls on motor vehicle emissions in the mid-70s as part of their efforts to reduce acid rain. But throughout the northern hemisphere it’s agreed that such measures, though
important, will be of minimal effect. If we are to save what’s left of forests and lakes in the world, a strict international emission standard must be uniformly imposed on industry. However, its unlikely that will be agreed upon before many more acres of precious forests are destroyed.

SECTION B INTERVIEW 
Interviewer: Good morning Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.
Pitt: Thank you.
Interviewer: First of all, Mr. Pitt. I’d like you to tell me a bit about what you’ve been doing.
Pitt: Well, I left school after I’d done my A levels.
Interviewer: Ah, yes, A levels. What subjects did you take?
Pitt: I took four subjects, French, German, chemistry and art. Chemistry wasn’t
my cup of tea, but art has always been.
Interviewer: Art?
Pitt: Well, I really wanted to study art. It didn’t turn out like that, because
a friend of my fathers offered me a job. It’s an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.
Interviewer: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting. In your application, you
say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?
Pitt: It was nearly a year actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn’t like it.
I just couldn’t seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the art college to do a three-year diploma course.
Interviewer: I see. Now Mr. Pitt, what about hobbies and interests? Er, what do
you do in your spare time?
Pitt: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don’t play of course, but I go

to quite a lot of concerts and I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit my
self. I’m in the local Germanic society. I read quite a lot and I’ve done a bit
of photography. Also, I’ve traveled a lot. Hitchhike a dolly for Europe. Last year that was.
Interviewer: Very interesting. Mr. Pitt. I think, that’s all I wanted to ask about your background. Now let’s talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?
Pitt: I don’t know a great deal about the work.
Interviewer: But you have got any ideas about it. You must have thought about it.
Pitt: Well, I... Suppose he has a lot of... a... what is called policy making to
do. And... he has to know how to work with people, and all about the company. 
Interviewer: Mm. 
Pitt: Yes, I... should think a manager must know something about all aspects of the work.
Interviewer: Yes, that’s right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.
Pitt: Oh.
Interviewer: And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn’t like that.
Pitt: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose... But I was thinking that my French an
d German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I’d like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.
Interviewer: You know, the glamour of traveling abroad disappears when you’ve got a hard job of work to do. It’s not all fun and game.
Pitt: Oh yes, I realize that. It’s just that my knowledge of languages would be
useful.
Interviewer: Now, Mr. Pitt, is there anything you want to ask me?
Pitt: Well, there is one or two things. I’d like to know if I have to sign a contract and what the salary and prospects are.
Interviewer: With our scheme, Mr. Pitt, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we at any time decide we don’t like you,
then that’s that. We reserve the right to dismiss you.
Pitt: I see.
Interviewer: Of course. You have the same choice about us.
Pitt: Fair enough. And what about the salary?
Interviewer: As for salary, you’ll be on our fixed scales, starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.
Pitt: I see. Thank you very much.
Interviewer: That’s all, Mr. Pitt. You should hear from us in a couple of weeks.
One way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.
Pitt: Goodbye, Mrs. Williams.

More than 200 American soldiers were injured when the Cubans, angry at delays in moving them out of Panama, attacked their guards and broke out of the camps. The refugees have been in Panama since September.
News Item 3 ( For Question 13 )
U.S. lawmakers have criticized- the recent US-North Korean deal calling for

accord, saying he had made no compromises that would damage U. S. national security. 

News Item 4 ( For Questions 14-15 )
Italy, a major producer of landmines, has joined the campaign to ban the weapons which kill and maim many thousands of people every year. The Chamber of Deputies, the Lower House of Parliament voted 402 to 2 with four abstentions to ratify a 1980 convention that will commit Italy to drastically limit the use of landmines and help to clear mined areas. Parliament also pledged Italy’s support
for efforts led by the Secretary General of the United Nations, the International Red Cross and the Swedish Government to promote a total international ban on
the production and export of the mines. The Italian Parliament acted at the request of Defense Minister.
SECTION D NOTE-TAKING AND GAP-FILLING
Good morning everyone. First about your second assignment. I’d like to re
mind you that your second assignment should be handed in by next Friday, You can either put it in my pigeon hole or leave it with the department secretary. Now, let’s
get down to the lecture.
Today the lecture is on credit or, to be more specific, on credit cards. I’m sure you must have heard of some credit cards like the Visa card, which is an internationally used card or the Great Wall card issued by the Bank of China.
In order to give a better understanding we’ll discuss it in sonic detail. Many
businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies
use a credit system for selling their products and services. In a credit system
the seller agrees to sell something to the buyer without immediately receiving
cash. He receives the goods or services immediately and promises to pay for them
later. This buy-now-pay-later credit system is quite old. There are two types of credit cards. One type is issued directly by a store to a customer. Many large
department stores issue credit cards to their customers. The store credit card
can be used to make purchases only at a particular store. For example, if you have a credit card from Store A, then you can only buy things in that store. Other
stores would not accept it.
The other kind of credit cards is issued by a credit company. Credit cards
from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere. If you have a major credit card, you can buy air plane tickets, stay in hotels and eat in restaurants with it. Most large credit companies are connected to large banks. So if
you want a credit card from a credit company, you generally have to make an application at a bank. After an applicant receives a credit card, he or she can make
purchases using the card. The credit company sends the customer a statement of
purchases at the end of each month. Generally the Customer has to pay 25 to 50 percent of their (his) credit bill every month. The customer pays directly to the credit company and the credit company pays to the store or hotel or restaurant.
There are some advantages and some disadvantages to using credit cards. The biggest advantage for the consumer is expressed by the phrase “Buy now, pay later
”.
This means that the consumer can purchase what he wants when he wants it. There
is no need to save up money in advance. Another advantage of having a credit card is that it protects the owner, if a credit card is lost or stolen, the owner
only has to call the credit company, and the credit company will stop the credit
card number, No one else can use it. So the owner doesn’t have to worry about
losing the card.
Another advantage of the credit card system is that the consumer receives a
record of his or her purchases. Every month the credit customer receives a bill
. The bill has a list of all purchases from that month. This makes it easier to
remember when and where purchases are made. And another advantage is that credit
cards can be used when something unexpected happens. Many kinds of professional people - plumbers, taxi drivers, doctors and dentists
will accept credit cards in an emergency. This is very important if you don’t
have any cash with you.
However, having said all that, using credit cards has one major advantage,
that is consumers tend to overspend their money. They spend more than they make.
If a consumer buys a lot of things on credit, he or she has to make large payments each month. Sometimes it becomes impossible to keep up with the payments. As
a result, the consumer’s life becomes more and more difficult. If the consumer

cannot make the payments, his card will be taken away. It will be very difficult
for him to get another credit card in the future.
To sum up briefly, we can see a credit buying system has both advantages an
d disadvantages. On the one hand it gives people convenience in life and on the
other hand it tends to encourage overspending.

PART Ⅱ PROOFREADING AND ERROR CORRECTION
1.答案：can → must
【詳細解答】根據(jù)上下文，短文第一句指出了“抓板凳”是典型的意圖性動作。第二句就來解
釋這個動作發(fā)生的情景，即主客談了許久后，主人有個約會，必須離開去赴約。這里要表示
一種主動愿望“必須，不得不”的意思，而不是能力。所以應(yīng)將can改為must。
2.答案：not∧→to。
【詳細解答】本題屬動詞不定式否定形式的誤用。one’s desire to do sth．為固定搭配，意
為“去做……的欲望，想去做……”，其否定形式是在to前面加not，即one’s desire not
to do sth．意為“不愿去做……”。
3.答案：of→about
【詳細解答】本句是說“如果他不在意客人的感受，他就會從座位上站起來，說他要離開”，
這里要表達“對……在意，在乎”，故應(yīng)該用care about這一固定搭配，而care for意為“
喜歡，愛好；照顧”，不合題意。
4.答案：to
【詳細解答】本句中的get up out of his chair(從板凳上站起來)和announce　his　depart
ure (說他要離開)是兩個銜接很緊的動作，共用助動詞would，所以應(yīng)將to刪掉。
5.答案：therefore→but
【詳細解答】根據(jù)上下文，本句的前后兩部分之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。而therefore意為“因此”，
表示因果關(guān)系，因此應(yīng)改用轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but。
6.答案：raise→rise。
【詳細解答】raise為及物動詞，意為“使升高，提升；撫養(yǎng)，養(yǎng)育”，其后必須接賓語。而
本句中的動詞raise后無賓語，所以應(yīng)改為rise。rise為不及物動詞，意為“起身”。
7.答案：as∧→if或though
【詳細解答】本句意為“身體向前，抓住椅子的扶手，就好像要把自己支撐起來一樣”。而連
詞as不能表達“仿佛，好像”的意思，只有把它改成as if／though才合乎題意。
8.答案：make→perform或do
【詳細解答】文中要表達的意思是“他將首先做出的動作。”只有perform／do an action表
示“做動作”，而沒有make an act這一表達方式。
9.答案：the→a
【詳細解答】定冠詞the表特指，不定冠詞a／an表泛指。這里是說“如果他不遲疑，動作只會
花不到一秒的時間”，是泛指任何一秒，而不是特指某一秒，所以應(yīng)該用不定冠詞。
10.答案：post→posture
【詳細解答】post意為“柱桿；郵件；職位，崗位”等；posture意為“姿勢，舉止；態(tài)度”
。這里是說“他保持著‘隨時起身’的姿勢”，所以應(yīng)用posture合乎題意。

PART Ⅲ READING COMPREHENSION
SECTION A 
TEXT A 
短文大意：本文介紹的是《大西洋月刊》在改版之后的設(shè)計方面的新特點。
16.答案：C
【參考譯文】下列哪一項不屬于新設(shè)計中的內(nèi)容？
【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)題。
【詳細解答】短文第三段首句說“The primary typefaces Garlan chose for this task are
Times Roman，for a more readable body type，and Bauer Bodoni，for a more stylish and flexible display type (article titles，large initials，and so on)．” 由此
可知，新的設(shè)計包括對字體與雜志結(jié)構(gòu)的調(diào)整，新選用的主要字體是Times Roman和Bauer B
odoni；第三句接著說“The articles in the front of the magazine，which once flowed into one another，now stand on their own，to gain prominence．”這句話表明雜志
前部分的文章也做了相應(yīng)調(diào)整：文章之間不再相互交叉，而是各自獨立。故選項C“創(chuàng)建旅
游專欄”為正確答案。
17.答案：A 
【參考譯文】根據(jù)該短文，有哪些人參與了新的設(shè)計？
【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)題。
【詳細解答】短文第四段最后一句說“Garlan was in various ways assisted in the redesign by the entire art-department staff…” 由此可知，Garlan作為藝術(shù)總監(jiān)，在重新
設(shè)計《大西洋月刊》的過程中得到了整個藝術(shù)部工作人員的大力協(xié)助，而并非是她一個人，
更不是只有封面設(shè)計者 (cover artist)參與了這一新的設(shè)計。因此正確答案為A (art dire
ctor和other artists一起參與了設(shè)計工作)。
18.答案：D
【參考譯文】本文的寫作目的是什么？
【試題分析】本題為主旨題。
【詳細解答】文章第一段首先指出雜志設(shè)計的重要性，接著說明了《大西洋月刊》一直希望能
有一種文學(xué)性與新聞性并存的設(shè)計；最后作者指出Tudy Garlan對《大西洋月刊》的重新設(shè)
計很好地體現(xiàn)了文學(xué)性與新聞性并存的特征。文章在接下來的幾段詳細介紹了Garlan對《大
西洋月刊》雜志重新設(shè)計的內(nèi)容及特色。由此可知本文寫作目的主要在于向讀者介紹Garlan
的新設(shè)計及其特色，因此選項D為正確答案。

TEXT B 
短文大意：本文是對《名人傳記詞典》一書的批評。
19.答案：C
【參考譯文】為什么作者認為購買最近出版的一冊名人傳記沒有什么意義？
【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)題。
【詳細解答】 短文第一段第五句說“And have you got the rest of volumes? You need the basic 22 plus the largely decennial supplements to bring the total to 31．”由
此可知，這一整套書共有31冊，只買一冊就沒什么意義了，故答案選C。
20.答案：D
【參考譯文】在誰應(yīng)被收錄進詞典這一問題上，作者持怎樣的觀點？
【試題分析】本題為推理題。
【詳細解答】在短文的第二、第三段，作者很明確地表明了在人物選擇上的不同看法，并舉例

說明在選擇誰應(yīng)被收錄進詞典時沒有遵照一定的原則，是不合理的。如第三段第一句說“There remains the dinner party game of　who’s in，who’s out．”這表明作者認為編者在
選擇對象時就象是邀請參加宴會的一場游戲，證明了編者不謹慎的態(tài)度，故選項D為正確答
案。
21.答案：C
【參考譯文】Crippen沒被收錄進詞典的原因是什么？
【試題分析】本題為推理題。

【詳細解答】文章只是在第三段談到了Crippen未被收錄進名人詞典，該段的最后一句說“But
then Crippen was reputed as the first murderer to be caught by telegraphy．”通
篇沒有說明Crippen未被收錄進詞典的原因。因此選項C(原因不明)為正確答案。
22.答案：B
【參考譯文】作者為什么在文章最后一段引用詞典中一些人物條目？

【試題分析】本題為推理題。
【詳細解答】在短文的最后一段作者先以收錄的名人Hugo為例，沒有記錄其生死年月（dates
of birth and death are not recorded)；接著說對于畫家Levina Teerlinc的描述也不能
讓人覺得她是位值得紀念的藝術(shù)家(Doesn’t seem to qualify her as a memorable artist
)。從以上內(nèi)容可知，作者引用一些條目目的是為了強調(diào)說明自己的觀點：DNB的編纂方法與內(nèi)
容存在問題。因此，選項B為正確答案。
23.答案：C
【參考譯文】在整篇文章里，作者對DNB是何語氣？
【試題分析】本題為推理題。
【詳細解答】作者在文章一開始便指出買最近一冊的DNB毫無意義，并分析了相關(guān)原因。接著
作者在第三、四段諷刺說DNB在選擇收錄哪些名人的問題上就象做請人赴宴的游戲一樣，毫
無原則，極不合理。最后一段作者引用了幾個名人條目強調(diào)說明了DNB的編纂方法與內(nèi)容存
在的問題。作者在對詞典的不足之處進
行評述時有理有據(jù)，并無“刻薄”之心。故選項Ｃ“諷刺的”為正確答案。

TEXT C 
短文大意：這篇短文論述的是人們想通過藥物來延長生命的做法是不可取的。
24.答案：B
【參考譯文】根據(jù)作者的觀點，延長人的生命等同于什么？
【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)題。
【詳細解答】短文第一段提到“But，as any geriatric ward shows，that is not the same
as to confer enduring mobility，awareness and autonomy．Extending life grows me
dically feasible，but it is often a life deprived of everything.” 由此可知，延
長生命并不等于給予人們持久的靈活性、覺察力與自治力，依靠藥物是可以延長生命的，但
是這等于過著一種被剝奪了一切的生活。因此選項B為正確答案。
25.答案：D
【參考譯文】文章第二段對什么進行了比較？
【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)歸納題。
【詳細解答】短文第二段第二句說：“It would mirror the fate of athletics，in which disproportionate energies and resources-not least medical ones, like illegal s
teroids-are now invested to shave records by milliseconds．”由此表明靠藥物來延
長生命如同運動員服用興奮劑那樣都是會產(chǎn)生不良后果的，故第二段是將“運動員和長壽”
進行了比較。

【試題分析】本題為細節(jié)推理題。

【詳細解答】短文第二段第二句說“But it is succeeding, not　only in existing market
s like the USA and Western Europe but in new territories，in particular the Far
East．”這里是說，現(xiàn)在智利不僅在老市場，如美國和西歐，吸引更多游客，而且在新地區(qū)
，特別是遠東地區(qū)也成功地吸引一批游客。由此可知，智利過去游客來自美國與西歐，而遠
東是新開辟的市場。因此選項B(遠東地區(qū))為正確答案。

【詳細解答】短文倒數(shù)第二段第一句說“The policy of opening up Antarctica to tourism
is also politically sensitive．” 由此可排除選項B“政治上的敏感”；該段最后一說
“There is a genuine fear that areas of Chile will suffer the cultural destruction…，”由此可知，人們擔(dān)心旅游業(yè)開發(fā)會破壞當?shù)匚幕?，由此可排除選項Ｃ；短文倒數(shù)
第三段第二句說“Indigenous and environmental groups, including Greenpeace, say that many parts of the Andes will suffer if they become over-developed. ”由此可
知，當?shù)鼐用窈铜h(huán)境保護人士都是反對過度開發(fā)智利旅游業(yè)的，因此應(yīng)排除選項D(引起當?shù)?br>的環(huán)境污染)。只有選項A(雄心的，不現(xiàn)實的)不符合文意，故為正確答案。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH
My advisor was an Asian American. He indulged himself in smoking and alcoholic drinking and was hot-tempered. But he appreciated the diligence and the sound basic knowledge of students of Asian origin very much, and shared their sentiments (understood their feeling). Therefore, of the six students who were permitted to study in his laboratory, only one was from Germany, the other five were al
l from Asia. He was so straight forward as to put up a note on the door of his lab, which read: “Research assistant in this lab must work seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to midnight every day, and must spare no effort (go all out) in work hours.“ He was well known throughout the campus for his strictness and severity.
During the three and a half years of my work there fourteen students entered his
lab, but only five left with a doctor’s degree. In the summer of 1990, irrespective of other’s advice, I forced myself to receive his assistance and began my hard journey for schooling.

PART Ⅴ WRITING
Sowing the Seeds, Nurturing Growth and Harvesting the Rewards
In spring we sow the seeds in the soil. We look after them and cut off seeds for them. And in autumn, we are very happy to get harvest. A student’s success
in university study follows the same pattern as that of farming. The teachers are the seeds in our mind by giving lectures to us. We can get nothing without hard working. That is to say “No pains, no gains.”
First, if we hope a harvest, the seeds play the fundamental role, or we can
say that it is ery important to listen carefully to the teachers. In my point of view, it is the teacher who sows the seeds. What is seed? It is knowledge. Some students sleep in the class. They carry nothing with them when they leave the classroom. That is to say they don’t get seeds from the teachers. They are not interested in the lectures. They like to stay up all night to review the lesson. Now it seems that they are working hard in a field, which has no seeds in the soil. It sounds ridiculous, isn’t it? Therefore, to absorb in class is very important.
Second, nurturing growth is the key point in farming, or we can say that hard working for the students themselves is the most important. We can imagine that we sow the seeds in the soil and then don’t pay attention to them any more. Then how can we get a harvest? If we don’t water the seeds, they will dry and can never become a plant. If we don’t get rid of the seeds, the plant will die of malnutrition. It is the same in study. Listen carefully to the teachers and get the seeds in our mind and notebooks. But we must review the lesson. We must grasp the knowledge. We should borrow more books which are relevant to the class from library and absorb the knowledge. This is the most important process in study. When you say: “ Oh, the knowledge is mine now. It doesn’t belong to the teachers any longer,” you finish the hard work process in study.
Third, harvesting is also an important process. That is to say that you must learn to use what you have studied to get a good result in examination. Some students work all day long. They usually fail in the exam. They are worried before exam and forget everything when enter the classroom for exam. They got the seeds, they devoted all their energy to the field but they don’t know how to harvest their rewards. So let’s learn the skill of harvest and get our rewards. 
To sum up, the three processes are all important if we want to be a successful student. Without one of them, we will fail in our study. Try to improve your
self in the three aspects; you can certainly become an excellent student.
