　　Part Ⅱ Reading 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:

It is simple enough to say that since books have classesfiction, biography,　poetrywe should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of bio graphy that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellowworker and accomplice(同謀).

If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess(委婉之處), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirtytwo chapters of anovelif we consider how to read a novel firstare an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on youhow at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.

does the author mean by saying “Yet few people ask from books what books can give us.”?

author means that lots of people read few books.

author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books.

author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content　some kind of books should include.

author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books.

rding to the passage, which of the following statement is right?

A.A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.

more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.

read something is easier than to watch something.

should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.

is the possible meaning of “impalpable” (Paragraph 2) in the passage?

ise.

’s the main idea of this passage?

importance of reading.

proper way to read.

to get most from one book.

characters of a good book.

a writer is writing he often get the whole conception ____.

r a long time’s thinking

ugh an instant inspiration

rding to his own experience

way of watching the objects attentively

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”something each of us does daily.

We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might　do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our　furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.

A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one　thing; to put the idea to work is another.

These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius,　but they are also involved in many of our daytoday activities.

h of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?

prepare a meal.

arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.

buy some books from a bookstore.

“write” a letter with the computer.

author holds that ____.

tivity is of highly demand

tivity is connected with a deep insight to some extent

tivity is to create something new and concrete

practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one’s creativity

28.“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Par.3) really implies that ____.

can seldom create new things

B.a new thing is only a tale

C.a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things

can scarcely see really new things in the world

does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?

’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.

find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.

may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.

D.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.

best title for this passage is ____.

to Cultivate One’s Creativity

is Creativity

Importance of Creativity

tivitya Not Farway Thing

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.

I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(討論會). The　professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseacher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic(語言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many　modal(情態的) verbsfar more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he　usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You　could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”

In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did　not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher　than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.

Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers　who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations　in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but　his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.

the USA, when the students are in class, ____.

A.a Chinese student tends to be very active

American student likes to make trouble

C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher

American student tends to be vigorous

32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.

very sincere very direct

very selfconfident very indifferent

is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods between China and the USA?

thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.

holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students’ remembrance.

thinks that American teaching is abilityoriented.

holds that American teachers hate to give a test.

author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is ____.

intimate in China er in China

er in USA harmonious in USA

education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.

ative entional

tive inative

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Online courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council,about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the Web. At the university level, they cost the same as traditional classes and require similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class participation.

Generally speaking, students congregate(使聚集) online throughout each week　to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur “asynchronously(不同時發生地)” rather than in real time. (You read others’ comments and post　your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments are posted, you email　in your work periodically, and you’re required to take a proctored exam in order to　receive degree credit. Careerboosting business administration and information technology programs are the most popular, but you’ll also find a variety　of literal arts offerings, from film theory to medieval history and foreign language study. While you still can’t get an Ivy League degree online, a growing number of elite(卓越的) institutions, including Stanford and New York University are beginning to offer online courses.

The benefits for busy people are obvious. “I always get a frontrow seat,”　says one student studying at the State University of New York Learning Network.“I can get up in the middle of class, grab a cup of coffee. The class is waiting for me when I get back, and I haven’t missed a thing.” On the other hand, some students miss the facetoface interaction that often sparks interest and involvement.

than the traditional one

much as the traditional one

　　Part Ⅳ Translation from E[nglish into Chinese (15 minutes)

　　Directions:

In this part, there are five items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the Reading Passages you have just read in the Reading Comprehension of the Test Paper.

　　Part Ⅱ

　　1

　　短文大意

本散文談讀書方法。作者認為許多讀者因存在太多先入之見而不能從書中汲取它們所能提供給我們的東西。而如果能在閲讀時儘量和作者融為一體的話，就可以體會到書本中的許多微妙之處。最後作者又告訴讀者可通過動手練筆的方式領會作家是如何創作的，靈感和構思是如何得來的。

21.答案C。

【參考譯文】 作者説“然而很少有人向書籍索取它們所能提供給我們的東西。”的真正含義是什麼?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“對含義複雜句子的正確理解”的能力。

【詳細解答】 解答此題，正確理解“Yes…us”一句含義是關鍵。其實質含義是：“許多人讀書時因觀念不正確，而僅僅能從書本中得到很少的知識獲得很少的啟迪”。這樣，我們就可以對選項進行逐個分析取捨了。A項意為“作者認為許多人讀的書都太少”，顯然與我們的分析不符。B項意為“作者認為讀者僅僅從書中汲取了部分知識。”這句話只是引文部分的字面含義，所以也應排除。再看C項作者認為許多人對某類書應該包含什麼樣的內容沒有正確的觀念。這才是作者的隱含意思，所以是正確的。而D項“作者認為許多讀者對大量的書都不能讀懂。”這也是一種錯誤的理解，也應排除。這樣就可確定選項為C。

22.答案D。

【參考譯文】 根據短文，下面的説法哪一個是正確的?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“對具體細節的把握”的能力。

【詳細解答】 此題只能用排除法，去掉與文章細節不符的選項。選項A意為“讀者在閲讀時應該能發現一些錯誤。”文章中沒有此細節，可排除。B項“一本書越難讀，從中得到 知識也越多。”也與文意無關。再看C項“閲讀比觀看容易。”根據文章第二段第四句最後一分句可知這正與作者的觀點相反，故也排除。最後只剩下D項，應為正確答案。而其內容“讀者在閲讀時應和作者保持一致。”正是作者的觀點，無疑正確。

23.答案B。

【參考譯文】 第二段中“impalpable”一詞最可能的含義是什麼?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“根據上下文推測生詞含義”的能力。

【詳細解答】 先看上文：作家想把素材安排得像一座完整的大房，使之具體化。接下來就是含有“impalpable”一句。句首用“but”引導，有轉折含義。所以此單 詞意義可能與“具體”相對。再看下文，閲讀比觀看更復雜和費時。這樣，該詞的含義就可以基本確定了，應該是“非常抽象難以捉摸的”之類的意思。(這裏與” 磚頭”相比，更加強了這一點)據此可排除A、D項。C項意為“微妙”，意近。但B項恰好意為“難以捉摸的”，更與生詞含義接近，所以應選B。此題目C項干擾性較大，注意要避免匆忙選擇，而功虧一簣。

24.答案B。

【參考譯文】 此文的主要內容是什麼?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“對文章的主旨和大意的把握”的能力。

【詳細解答】 解答此題關鍵在於先弄清文章的主旨和大意。在此基礎上就可進行選棄了。此短文主要講“何為正確的讀書方法”。據此，A項“閲讀的重要性”，C項“如何從書 中獲取最多的信息”，D項“一本好書的特徵”，均不能選。而B項“何為正確的讀書方法”，正與我們的分析不謀而合，所以B為正確答案無疑。

25.答案B。

【參考譯文】 作家在寫作時，常通過什麼樣的方式來獲得構思?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“對具體細節正確理解”的能力。

【詳細解答】 答案可從文章最後一句獲得。解答此類題的關鍵就是找到並正確理解有關細節。根據最後一句可知“作家構思的獲得是通過瞬間的感悟。”這樣，就可對選項進行逐 個分析了。A項意為“通過長期的思考”，雖符合一般常識，但不是作者看法，排除。B項意為“瞬間/快速的靈感”，與作者的觀點十分接近，有正確的可能。再 看C項“根據作者自己的經歷”，作者也沒有提及。而D項“通過專心致志地觀看描寫的對象”，這只是構思活動過程的一部分。與B項相比，也應排除。現在就可 確定：B項為正確答案。

2

短文大意

本文主要介紹了什麼是創造力。作者認為創造力離我們並不遙遠，我們每天都在創造。創造力有三個方面的表現，第一是以新的方式觀察和思考。第二 是能觀察到事物之間的關係。第三是運用新思想的勇氣和激情，運用新思想來獲得新的效果。最後作者指出創造力的三方面需要全面非凡的天賦，但同時也需要我們日常許許多多的親身實踐。

26.答案C。

【參考譯文】 下列哪一種活動不具有創造性?

【試題分析】 此題考查學生“根據所讀材料進行一定的判斷”的能力。

【詳細解答】 本題可用排除法。根據第一段可知創造力的含義是“使事物產生”，“致使事物存在”。而它三個方面的表現可參考“短文大意”，據此，A項“做飯”是一種日常 生活中的“使飯產生”，具有創造性。B項“用一種獨我的方式安排傢俱”，為創造力第二面詳述中的例子，故也是創造活動。再看C項“從書店買書”，只是一種 簡單的行為，不涉及創造性。而D項“用電腦寫一封信”即“創造一封信”，也為創造性活動，也不能選。這樣就可得出結論，A、B、D項不能選，C為正確答 案。解答此題時要千萬注意問題的提問方式是問“哪一個不是”，以免錯誤理解題意而誤選。

27.答案B。

【參考譯文】 作者認為……
