Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 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 decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money, but most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “ dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
21.When the writer recalls the things that happened between him and his friends, he ____.
A) feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B) feels he may not have “read” his friends' true feelings correctly
C) thinks it was a mistake to view Jim as a friend
D) is sorry that his friends let him down
22.By saying “You're a lucky dog.”, the speaker ____.
A) is just being friendly
B) expresses the same meaning as “You're a lucky guy.” or“You ' re a lucky gal.”
C) is humorous to apply the word “dog”to people
D) has a hidden jealous feeling behind the words
23.In listening to a person, the important thing is ____.
A) to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eye
B) to listen to how he pronounces his words
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Sleep is part of a person's daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper,your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber (安睡), your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing were slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes. This is called stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.
You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids (眼皮) as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.
26.The stages of sleep take on ____.
A) an irregular aspect. B) a regular aspect C) a punctual aspect D) a similar aspect
27.Stage 4 sleep lasts ____.
A) about 80 minutes
B) about 4060 minutes
C) about 30 munutes
D) about 2040 minutes
28.The brain waves are the slowest during ____.
A) stage 1 B) stage 2 and stage 3 C) stage 4 D) REM sleep
29.In the second paragraph the word “dart” means ____.
A) glare B) move rapidly or suddenly C) stop movingD) gaze
30.One of the features of REM sleep is that ____.
A) there are large slow waves, though rapid for the first few minutes
B) you have the deepest sleep
C) there are no brain waves
D) the brain waves are a little fast and the brain becomes a little active
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Designing a lens can be compared to playing chess. In chess a player tries to trap his opponent's king in a series of moves. In creating a lens a lens designer attempts to “trap” light by forcing all the rays arising from a single point in the subject to focus on a single point in the image, as a consequence of their passing through a series of transparent( 透明的) elements with precisely curved surfaces. Since in both cases the ultimate goal and the means by which it can be attained are known, one is tempted to think there will be a single best decision at any point along the way. The number of possible consequences flowing from any one decision is so large, however, as to bevirtually, if not actually, infinite. Therefore in lens design, as inchess, perfect solutions to a problem are beyond reach. Although this article will be concerned only with the design of photographic lenses, the same principles apply to all lenses.
The lens designer has one enormous advantage over the chess player: the designer is free to call on any available source of help to guide him through the staggering number of possibilities. Most of that help once came from mathematics and physics, but recently computer technology, information theory,chemistry, industrial engineering and psychophysics have all contributed to making the lens designer's job immeasurably more productive. Some of the lenses on the market today were inconceivable a decade ago. Others whose design is as much as a century old can now be massproduced at low cost. With the development of automatic production methods, lenses are made by the millions, both out of glass and out of plastics. Today's lenses are better than the best lenses used by the great photographers of the past.Moreover, their price may lower, in spite of the fact that 19thcentury craftsmen worked for only a few dollars a week and today's lenses are more complex. The lens designer cannot fail to be grateful for the science and technology that have made his work easier and his creations more widely available, but he is also humbled: it is no longer practical for a fine photographic lens to be designed from beginning to end by a single human mind.
31.Lens design and chess playing are similar in that ____.
A) the final goal and the means by which it can be reached are known
B) perfect solutions to a problem can be found
C) any one decision at any point along the way to the goal can bring numerous possible results
D) both A and C
32.The final goal of designing a lens is ____.
A) to trap the opponent's lenses
B) to focus light with lenses
C) to handmake lenses at low cost
D) to reflect light by means of curved surfaces
33.After the passage the author will talk about ____.
A) the principles of designing lenses
B) techniques of making contact lenses
C) the design of photographic lenses
D) styles of lenses
34.Which of the following words cannot be used to describe today's lenses?
A) More delicate. B) Cheaper. C) Numerous. D) Unpopular.
35.Lens designers today ____.
A) have a large source of help to fall back on B) receive a low salary
C) are less respectable than those of the past D) are not decisive in the lens design
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Part Ⅰ starts with a brief introductory chapter and then takes up Style and Organization, covering them in that order because skill or lack of skill in style affects all writing, while much technical writing is so short as to offer no problems of organization. These chapters are followed by one on Mechanics, covering matters of form that are peculiar to technical writing or else crop up in it with abnormal frequency.
The chapter on Special Problems, which follows, performs a dual function. It provides writing assignments that may be used while the study of style, organization, and mechanics is still under way, and it explains ways of handling certain problems that may arise during the writing of reports, proposals, and other longer forms. We have also expanded the treatment of technical articles recognizing the potential contribution of article writing to the career of the writer and the value of the article to science and technology.
In Part Ⅱ,a change of emphasis at one point is reflected in the new title for Chapter 8, Nonformal Reports Their Variation in Form and Purpose, which was formerly called Special Types of Reports. Though certain special types of reports are still discussed, additional emphasis is given to the fact that there does not exist any universally accepted set of types, under which all reports can be classified.
Two other extensive changes have been made in Part Ⅱ: The chapter on Proposals, which first appeared in the second edition, has been rewritten and substantially expanded so as to cover that important subject more thoroughly. Also, an entirely new chapter, Oral Presentation of Technical Information, has been added. Though a study of this chapter is no substitute for training in public speaking, we believe that its recommendations can nevertheless be of substantial assistance to those who use this book on the numerous occasions when they will be called upon to present their ideas in person before a small group or a large audience.
36.The passage is most probably a preface to ____.
A) a technical writing handbook B) a handbook on composition
C) a book on a literary writing D) a scientific paper
37.In part I, the writer arranges the chapters in the order of ____.
A) IntroductionOrganizationSpecial ProblemsStyleNonformal Reports
B) IntroductionStyleOrganizationSpecial Types of ReportsMechanics
C) IntroductionStyleOrganizationMechanicsSpecial Problems
D) IntroductionStyleProposalsSpecial ProblemsMechanics
38.You can find some writing exercises in ____.
A) the chapter on Organization B) the chapter on Style
C) the chapter on Special Problems D) the chapter on Proposals
39.According to the passage, the chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information appears in ____ of the book.
A) Part Ⅰ of the first edition B) Part Ⅱ of the second edition
C) Part Ⅰ of the second edition D) Part Ⅱ of the third edition
40.Which of the following is not true of Part Ⅱ of the new edition?
A) There isn't the chapter on Special Types of Reports.
B) The chapter on Oral Presentation of Technical Information is rewritten and expanded.
C) The chapter on Proposals is a revised chapter.
D) There is a change of the title of Chapter 8.

【試題分析】 此題為語法題，考查獨立結(jié)構(gòu)。
【詳細(xì)解答】 這是分詞的獨立結(jié)構(gòu)句。分詞的完成式表示其動作發(fā)生在主句動作之前， 根據(jù)句意可知，暴風(fēng)雨毀掉草屋在前，故 C是答案。
66.答案A。
【參考譯文】 與公司的大多數(shù)雇員們所享有的有工資的節(jié)假日天數(shù)比起來，三個星期的 假期似乎是很慷慨的。
【試題分析】 此題為語法結(jié)構(gòu)題。
【詳細(xì)解答】 compare…with意為“與……相比”。分詞作狀語時，若與主句的主語是主 謂關(guān)系，則用現(xiàn)在分詞，若是動賓關(guān)系則用過去分詞。根據(jù)句意，應(yīng)用過去分詞。故 A對。
67.答案D。

【試題分析】 此題考查句子的語法結(jié)構(gòu)。

68.答案A。

69.答案B。
【參考譯文】 公司的建立將從公司營業(yè)執(zhí)照簽發(fā)之日開始。
【試題分析】 此題為語法題，考查定語從句引導(dǎo)詞。
【詳細(xì)解答】 這是個主從復(fù)合句，從句需要一個含 day在內(nèi)的時間狀語，特指的一天，其前應(yīng)用介詞on。此外，引導(dǎo)從句的關(guān)系代詞which若其前有介詞時該介詞不能省略，故B對。whenever只能 引導(dǎo)狀語從句，不引導(dǎo)定語從句，例如：You may leave whenever you please.無論你什么時候想走就可以走。
70.答案C。
【參考譯文】 你一定誤會我了，因為我沒說那件事。
【試題分析】 此題為語法題，考查 must用作“推測”意時的用法。

Part Ⅳ
71.【參考譯文】 但你并不是整夜都保持這種第四階段的沉睡狀態(tài)，入睡后大約80分鐘左右，你的大腦活動會再度略有加強。
【翻譯技巧】 本句使用減詞法。
【翻譯點評】 后半句“ brain activitiy level will increase again slightly.”句中 “ level”一詞可以不譯，“increase”一詞則譯為“加強”更好。
72.【參考譯文】 創(chuàng)造鏡片時，鏡片設(shè)計者試圖“捕捉”光線，他們迫使源自物體某個點的所有光線穿過一組曲度準(zhǔn)確的透鏡，結(jié)果光線集中在影像的一個點上。
【翻譯技巧】 本句可用分譯法，把長句子中的短語化為句子，分開來敘述，適當(dāng)用增詞 法并調(diào)整句子順序。
【翻譯點評】 句中介詞短語“ by forcing all the rays…to focus on a single point in the image”和后面的介詞短語“as a consequence of…surfaces”。結(jié)合在一起先調(diào)整語序為“ by forcing all the rays…in the subject, after passing through…surfaces, focus on…in the image”，再將這個長長的介詞短語譯成兩個句子，加上force的邏輯主語 they，所以譯為“他們迫使源自物體某個點的所有光線穿過一組曲度準(zhǔn)確的透鏡，結(jié)果光線集中在影像的一個點上。”
73.【參考譯文】 然而，每做一個決定可能產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果數(shù)目之大，如果不是實際上的話，簡直是無限的。
【翻譯技巧】 此句的主語部分需用逆序法。
【翻譯點評】 首先需要弄清此句結(jié)構(gòu)，主干為： The number is so large as to be infinite。再將一些修飾性、限定性的成份加進去，就比較容易譯出整句了。另外還需注意“virtually, if not actually”的意思，可見，這兩個副詞virtually與actually并不相同， 前者意為“幾乎”，后者意為“實際上”。
74.【參考譯文】 我們亦擴充了處理專業(yè)技術(shù)文章的方法是由于我們認(rèn)識到文章寫作對寫作者職業(yè)的潛在貢獻以及對科學(xué)技術(shù)的價值。
【翻譯技巧】 此題需采用“增詞法”，還要注意句子的結(jié)構(gòu)。
【翻譯點評】 句中“ the treatment of…”譯為“處理……的方法”。破折號后面的分詞短語由分詞 recognizing加上兩個帶有各自定語的并列名詞詞組“the potential contribution of…”和“the value of…”組成，這個分詞短語補充說明前面句子的理由，所以在“認(rèn)識到……”之前加上“是由于我們”，使其與前面的句子更加緊湊、連貫。
75.【參考譯文】 雖然學(xué)習(xí)此章節(jié)不能替代對公開發(fā)言的訓(xùn)練，然而我們 相信此章節(jié)中的建議對那些使用此書的人大有裨益，他們在許多場合下被請求在一小群人或許多聽眾面前親自陳述自己的意見。
【翻譯技巧】 本題采用“詞類轉(zhuǎn)換法”、“前置法”、“溶合法”。
【翻譯點評】 翻譯時，將名詞性詞組“ a study of this chapter”譯為動詞性詞組“學(xué)習(xí)本章”，“ no substitute for”譯為“并不能替代”，“be of substantial assistance to”譯為“對……大有裨益”;其次，將those后的定語從句放在其前譯為“那些使用此書的人”;另外，將狀語 on the numerous occasions與后面的定語從句溶合在一起譯為“他 們在許多場合下……”
Part Ⅴ 寫作指導(dǎo)
本文是關(guān)于國有企業(yè)職工下崗的問題。本文要求考生用全面的觀點來看待下崗這一現(xiàn)象， 還要求考生能就此現(xiàn)象發(fā)表一些自己的看法及可能的解決方案。這里必須注意“ layoff”這一詞組的用法“ lay sb. off”意思是“stop employing sb. esp. for a period in which there is little work”，“layoff”是名詞，意思是“the stopping of a worker's employment at a time when there is little work”所以“laidoff workers”才是指“下崗工人”，在范文中，第一段根據(jù)要求，寫下崗是改革的需要，為了深化國有企業(yè)的改革越來越多的工人下崗。注意，如果不仔細(xì)理解此段要求的話，很容易接下來就寫下崗工人的“不幸”、因難的處境。但緊扣題綱，這一段必須寫下崗的積極方 面，可以就深化國企改革的需要方面進行展開，如使多余的工人下崗有利于提高國有企業(yè)的效率，幫助國企渡過難關(guān)，加速國家經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，以便最終實現(xiàn)共同富裕。
第二段寫下崗會帶來的問題：給公眾帶來工作壓力，很多人生活水平下降，犯罪率上升， 造成社會不安定，這一段需要注意的是，考生絕對不可以在此對下崗現(xiàn)象表現(xiàn)出不滿或是太偏激認(rèn)為下崗是活該，應(yīng)持中立態(tài)度，客觀地分析下崗帶來的問題。
第三段談解決方案：政府應(yīng)采取措施保障下崗工人的利益，提供再就業(yè)機會，下崗工人自 身也當(dāng)提高自己的意識，以適應(yīng)形勢的需要。
Sample Writing
Layoffs in Stateowned Enterprises
In order to deepen the reform of stateowned enterprises, more and more workers are laid off. It is indeed necessary. Laying off redundant workers can help the enterprises overcome their difficulties and raise their efficiency and productivity. It also adds impetus to China's economic growth and thus help to lay a solid foundation for the common prosperity of the entire population, including the lai off workers.
However, carrying out layoffs places too much employment pressure on society and arouses many social problems, such as the decline of many people's living standard, the increase of crime rate and social instability. So it's very important for the laidoff workers to be reemployed.
To solve these problems, the government should show concern for the workers and take effective measures to protect their interests. The enterprises laying off workers should set up reemployment service centers to ensure their basic living standards, conduct professional training and help them get new jobs. The laidoff workers themselves should keep in mind that it's no use complaining and sighing.
As long as they stand up to being laid off, update their concepts about employment and adapt to new situations, they are sure to overcome the difficulty.
