Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on-but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before. By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.(1)Albert Einstein greatly influences science and history.(A)T(B)F(2)By 1914 the young Einstein had become famous only in his country.(A)T(B)F(3)At the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin Einstein was busy teaching every day.(A)T(B)F(4)The misery of war made him lose interest in his research.(A)F(B)T(5)In the years following World War I Einstein gained more honors and titles.(A)T(B)F3.Passage Two People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. Peoples understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term health has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another termquality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life. Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a persons life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.(1)Progress in scientific research helps people understand health better.(A)F(B)T(2)Today health no longer means just the absence of illness.(A)F(B)T(3)The new concept of health is closely related to quality of life.(A)F(B)T(4)Medical advances have nothing to do with how long people can live.(A)T(B)F(5)Even though people have been talking about health for a long time, they dont know the importance of it.(A)F(B)T4.Passage Three No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生） and part of it taken out. Today, however, we neednt worry about feeling of pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all his pain. Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called laughing gas. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didnt seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didnt know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.(1)It is _ since a man being operated felt all the pain.(A)a few more years(B)few years(C)two thousand years(D)not long(2)Long ago, when the sick man was operated on，he _.(A)could feel nothing(B)could not want anything(C)could feel all the pain(D)could do anything(3)Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to _.(A)be afraid of anything(B)be ill(C)want to go to the parties(D)feel pain(4)If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he _.(A)felt nothing(B)felt very comfortable(C)still felt pain(D)would die(5)One who took too much of the laughing gas _.(A)would laugh all the time(B)would die(C)would never feel pain(D)would be very calm5.Passage Four All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a persons character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.(1)According to this passage we know that _.(A)people began to play about one hundred years ago(B)not all the games have a long history(C)about 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they played(D)basketball has a longer history than volleyball(2)The writer didnt tell us in this passage that _.(A)basketball was invented in America(B)sports change with the season(C)games and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activities(D)football is played all over the world(3)People all over the world enjoy sports because _.(A)sports are interesting(B)sports help to keep people healthy, happy and to live longer(C)sports help to train ones character(D)all of the above(4)From this passage we can see that _.(A)sports and games are only useful to the old(B)according to the author sports and games are significant to our life in many respects(C)sports and games are unimportant things that people do(D)sports and games should be treated only as amusement(5)Whats the writers attitude towards sports?(A)positive(B)critical(C)neutral(D)negative6.Part III Grammar and Vocabulary (20 points) Directions: There are ten incomplete sentences in this part.

But most mistakes are about (41) _. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it as a friend?” Or “Did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too (42) _. Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we (43) _ the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “youre a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”, thats being (44) _. But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the (45) _ meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.(1)（41）(A)late(B)friendly(C)miss(D)people(E)real(2)（42）(A)friendly(B)real(C)people(D)late(E)miss(3)（43）(A)late(B)people(C)miss(D)real(E)friendly(4)（44）(A)real(B)miss(C)late(D)friendly(E)people(5)（45）(A)late(B)miss(C)people(D)friendly(E)real8.Passage Two A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam.
