Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.
Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. at this time, the city of Washington itself was being built; it was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned they city. The president’s home was an important part of the plan.
A contest was held to pick a design for the president’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.
President Washington never lived in the President Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not really like hew new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!
In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. Theu burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.
After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s homes. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.
The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
There are two kinds of memory: shot-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.
To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town. The trips were called cattle drivers. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.

Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.
In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horses or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.

20. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?
A. He is excited about them. B. He accept them as natural.
C. He is disturbed by them. D. He questions their usefulness.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares, something that had not happened to me for years, not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread. I would be rushing to get to class on time, trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk, not certain what subject we were covering today, indeed not even certain what course I was teaching. My heart was pounding. I was late. I would not find my notes. A hundred people were waiting for me in the classroom, their pens poised to take down my every syllable, and I had nothing to say. Them Mr. Winthrop’s big blonde face with those dark eyes would loom at the door of my office, and with that mocking grin, he would say, “Professor, the class is waiting for you,” and I would faint dead onto the floor. Or sometimes in my dream I would make it to the podium (講臺(tái)), start to lecture on some aspect of criminal law or causation, only to have Mr. Winthrop raise his hand, and without even waiting to be called upon, presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words. I could see his mouth moving underneath his baseball cap, and muffled sounds resounded in my ears, but I could not understand him. All eyes in the classroom were on me, and my students began to laugh, but not Mr. Winthrop. He continued to move his mouth, and I felt as if I was watching TV with the sound off except that my head was all a buzz with the laughter and the shuffling of feet as my students exited in disgust. Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor, and then I would wake up, my sheets damp from desperation. It was enough to make a man get out of bed and mix a drink at four in the morning even if he had the eight o’clock class.
16. From this passage, it is indicated that .
A. the first year of teaching is unforgettable and frightening for me forever
B. nightmares have happened to me more often than not since my first year of teaching
C. in my first year of teaching, I was always full of fears
D. as a teacher, I feel uneasy all the time
17. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. I was quite clear about the subject I was to deal with before class.
B. I would give the lectures on time.
C. I prepared the notes carefully before class. However, I forgot to take them with me to the classroom.

A. a presumable student
B. a baseball lover
C. the student who often teases the teacher
D. the student who answers the teacher’s question in a humorous way
19. In my nightmare, it would happen to me except that .
A. I sometimes was very calm to see that my students were in disguise
B. when I gave the lecture, Mr. Minthrop was the only student to ask a question
C. I often fall down to the floor losing my consciousness before I woke up
D. I would rather wake up to have a good drink in the early morning than have the nightmare

Suppose your university newspaper is inviting submissions from students for its coming edition on a campus event that has impressed them most.
Last Saturday, our Student Union organized the AnnuaI Campus Sports Games, which lasted throughout the weekend. This activity left an unforgettable impression on me. lt was a huge success because not only did it spark students enthusiasm for sports activities, but it also proved our universitys openness and care for students needs.
The games started at 9 a.m. with a short speech de livered by the principal of our university, who emphasized the im- portance of sports in building a healthy and balanced life-style. Then, various sports event were held including track and field, basketball, swimming, and even chess, catering to a wide range of interests and abilities. The highlight for me was th e relay race, which saw an incredible display of teamwork a nd determination. Additionally, many students, me included, were impressed with the good organization of the events, the exciting cheers and medaI awarding ceremony held on the Sunday evening.
ln all, it was clear that these events had achieved more than just physical engagement. They fostered a sense of community, encouraged healthy competition, and allowed students from different backgrounds to connect and engage.
上周六我們學(xué)生會(huì)組織了一年一度的校園運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)，運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)持續(xù)了整個(gè)周末。這次活動(dòng)給我留下了難忘的印象。這次活動(dòng)取得了巨大的成功，不僅激發(fā)了學(xué)生們對(duì)體育活動(dòng)的熱情，也證明了我校對(duì)學(xué)生需求的開放和關(guān)心。
運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)在上午9點(diǎn)開始，我們大學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)發(fā)表了簡(jiǎn)短的講話，他強(qiáng)調(diào)了體育在建立健康和平衡的生活方式中的重要性。然后，舉辦各種體育比賽，包括田徑，籃球，游泳，甚至國(guó)際象棋，迎合了廣泛的興趣和能力。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)最重要的是接力賽，這是團(tuán)隊(duì)合作和決心的不可思議的展示。此外，包括我在內(nèi)的許多學(xué)生都對(duì)活動(dòng)的`良好組織、激動(dòng)人心的歡呼聲和周日晚上舉行的頒獎(jiǎng)儀式印象深刻。

Suppose your university newspaper is inviting submis-sions from students for its coming edition on a campus event that has impressed them most.
As a student at the Foreign Languages School of [University Name],I am most impressed by the care our university shows to us students.
Given the damp and cold winters and burning hot sum-mers,the authorities have installed air conditioning units in all the dormitories,providing us with comfortable shelter from the extreme temperatures.Moreover,the canteens offer affordable set meals,ensuring that students on a tight budget dont have to worry exces-sively about living expenses and can save money for other necessities.Most notably,I am struck by the traffic control during rush hours to ensure student safety.During these times,vehicles are prohibited from usingthe routes students take to and from classroom buildings and dormitories.
To be frank,there are too many such examples to list intheir entirety.I am very proud to be a part of our university and would like to express my sincere gratitude for everything our university does for its students.

由于冬天潮濕寒冷，夏天酷熱難耐，校方在所有宿舍都安裝了空調(diào)，為我們提供了一個(gè)舒適的遮蔽處。此外，食堂提供實(shí)惠的套餐，確保預(yù)算緊張的學(xué)生不必過(guò)分擔(dān)心生活費(fèi)用，可以節(jié)省其他必需品的錢。最值得注意的是，我對(duì)高峰時(shí)段的交通管制感到震驚，以確保學(xué)生的安全。在此期間，車輛禁止使用學(xué)生往返教學(xué)樓和宿舍的路線。
坦率地說(shuō)，這樣的例子太多了，無(wú)法一—列舉。我很自豪能成為我們學(xué)校的一員，并對(duì)我們學(xué)校為學(xué)生所做的一切表示衷心的感謝。
