Scientists pointed out that blocks of tall buildings in a city oftenoverburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.Skyscrapers are also big consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recentyear, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New YorkCity raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowattsenough tosupply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.Glasswalled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss (or gain) througha wall of halfinch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical brickwall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating andairconditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use doubleglazed(装上玻璃的) panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or goldmirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirrorwalledskyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboringbuildings.Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a citys sanitation (卫生) facilities, too. Iffully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alonegenerate 2.25 million gallons of raw wastes each yearas much as a city the size ofStamford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000.Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, andobstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960s, some people even feared thatshadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they havealways built thempersonal ambition (抱负) pride, and the desire of owners to havethe largest possible amount of rentable space.更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(1).

Lines 20-22.(D).Lines 23-25答案：A2.Climate, more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of lifeon Earth. Climatic boundaries establish the limits within which organisms cansurvive. Plants, even more than animals, must be well adapted to climate in order tosurvive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endurewhatever weather conditions are likely to occur. In the harsh conditions of thetundra, for example, low growing mosses(苔藓), lichens(地衣), and a few floweringplants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.Animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as muchinfluenced by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the camel and the penguin areso highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, suchas bears, are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. Oceandwellingorganisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this case temperature andsalinity(盐浓度，咸度)as land animals. Reef corals can survive only in clear warmseawater. Certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment thattheir presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature. Human beings are amongthe least specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. Their clothes andtheir homes act as a sort of “miniature climate” that can be taken with themeverywhere.(1).

Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are notperformed in the brain alone,but that ones muscles also participate. It may besaid that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to musicwith our bodies. You surely are nor surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not onlywith your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is moreor less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of theirbody. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is attracted to directthe band even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannotderive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in itsperformance. This listener“feels”himself into the music with more or lessnoticeable motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking inthe same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.(1).Some psychologists tend to believe that thinking is_(A).a process happening outside the brain(B).a process that only involves ones brain(C).a process involving both the brain and muscles(D).more of a physical process than a mental action答案：C(2).The process of thinking and that of listening to music is similar inthat_.(A).both processes are less noticeable(B).neither involves the use of the brain(C).both bring enjoyment to a person(D).neither is solely a mental process答案：D更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389(3).Few people are able to listen to familiar music on the radio without_.(A).singing along with the music(B).moving some parts of their bodies(C).stopping the job they are doing(D).wishing to see the actual performance答案：B(4).Muscle participation in the process of thinking is_.(A).purposeful (B).apparent(C).indistinct(D).impressive答案：C(5).The passage is concerned primarily with_.(A).muscle participation in mental activities(B).muscle participation in mental appreciation(C).the difference between thinking and music appreciation(D).the relationship between thinking and music appreciation答案：A四、Word Spelling(20 points,0.5 point for two words)将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。1.固定；系 v. a答案：attach2.客观的；真实的 a. o答案： objective3.法律上的；合法的 a. l答案： legal4.近似的；大约的 a. a答案：approximate5.有关的；担心的 a. c答案：concerned6.承认；致谢 v. a答案：acknowledge7.计算机化 v. c答案：computerize8.考虑；体谅 n. c答案：consideration9.被动的；消极的 a. p答案：passive10.外在的；外部的 a. e答案： external11.坚持地；固执地 ad. p答案：persistently12.多媒体 n. m答案：multimedia13.忠诚；忠心 n. l答案：loyalty14.宇宙的；普遍的 a. u答案： universal15.发言人；代言人 n. s答案：spokesman16.禁止 v. p_答案：prohibit17.成功v. s_ 答案：succeed18.位置，场所n. . l_答案：location19.可能地adv. p_答案：probably20.供应n. s_答案：supply更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389五、Word Form(10 points,1 point each)将括号中的各词变为适当的形式填入空白。答案写在答题纸上。1.The surface of some areas consists _(large) of high mountains and deepvalley.答案： largely 更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/53463892.In an urban society experiences of a different nature, _(be) it televisionwatching or birdwatching, can lead to a selfrenewal and a more “balanced” way oflife.答案：be3.To assume the care for them can help _(bring) out the humanity in ourchildren and even in us.答案：bring 4.I would sooner you _(come) tomorrow.答案： came5.Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions suchas whether to discard _(defect) parts in finished products.答案：defective6.I was supposed to _ (pay) 120 but I never received that amount.答案： be paid7.A decision is a choice _(make) from among alternative courses of action thatare available.答案：made8._(win) the presidency, a candidate must receive at least 270 votes, anelectoral majority.答案： To win9.There might be a massive black hole at the center of our galaxy _ (swallow)up stars at a very rapid rate.答案：swallowing10.Taken together,these things have implications which are only beginning_(acknowledge).答案：to be acknowledged. 因为begin 后面要接不定式，these things和acknowledge是被动关系，所以用不定式的被动式。六、Translation from Chinese into English(15 points,3 points each)将下列各句译成英语并将答案写在答题纸上。1.如果你束手无策，就听其自然好了。答案： Youd better leave things alone if you dont know how to deal with them.2.我们提出了抗议，但没有效果。答案：We protested but to (of) no avail.3.我们可以保证把工作做好。更多优质自考资料，请访问自考乐园俱乐部/club/5346389答案：We can ensure that the work will be done in the right way.4.不论她如何说，我也不相信这个消息。答案：Despite what she says, I dont believe the news.5.只是在近几年天文学家才开始具体研究黑洞。答案：It is only recently that astronomers have begun specific research into blackholes.七、Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。1.What is a good education?
