第Ⅱ卷(共45分) 第四部分 书面表达(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求) [1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “ Information Age” demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good______________. [2] There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. [3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions. [4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study. 76. What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.) _________________________________________________________________________ 77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? For instance, a study showed that social science majors had held more important positions, compared to those technically trained students. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 78. Fill in the blank with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 5 words.) _________________________________________________________________________ 79. What have you learned about the social science majors in finding a job in this high-tech “Information Age”?

Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long "dark ages" in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million? That"s much more difficult. When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps through the spundels and ballalators, these words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can"t think of . So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future ? Here are two reasons. First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because. we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome,our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us. Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future . 53.A particular mention made of Stapledon"s book in the opening paragraph ____________ A.serves as a description of human history B.serves an introduction to the discussion C.shows a disagreement of views D. Shows the popularity of the book 54.The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that _________. A.human history is extremely long B.life has changed a great deal C.it is useless to plan for the next 50 years D.it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future 55.Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to _________. A.tools used in farming B.ideas about modern life C.unknown things in the future D.hunting skills in the Stone Age 56.According to the writer of the text, imagining the future will _________. A.serve the interests of the present and future generations B.enable us to better understand human history C.help us to improve farming D.make life worth living |

Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, on April 21, the second Global Youth Service Day. Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated “care huts”. They talked with them and gave messages to patients kept in their beds. “I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people except talking with them and trying to cheer them up”, said Deng Yetao, a third-year student, “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.” “Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,” said Mao Xiaohua, another third-year student. Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy. Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital. Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme. A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives. Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt “the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who slipped into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands. 61. Youth volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to ______. A. pay a visit to the wounded B. talk with the aged C. offer services to the aged D. learn something from the aged 62. What the aged most suffered from is ______. A. loneliness B. death C. physical pain D. disease 63. According to what Mao Xiaohua said, we know that_____. A. the elderly taught him a good lesson when he talked to them B. he learned something important from the elderly instead of only helping them C. he only wanted to get something rather than do them a favor D. he was glad to have given them a favor 64. When volunteers know most of the aged people in the clinic are dying patients, they feel _____. A. sad B. disappointed C. hopeless D. worthless 65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The youth are fond of doing popular things. B. The Second Youth Service Day is started by the Chinese government. C. 91% of the aged in China are facing death. D. The volunteers are taking an active part in the activity |
第二节. 任务型阅读 Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A---F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. Attention must be paid to environmental factors. Principles of curing cancers. It will take long to find perfect cures. An important discovery in the research. The causative factor of cancer is very clear. The survival rate differs among patients with various cancers. 71. _____This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000 , the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging-----13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺) . 72. _______I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we"ll know in vast detail how cancer cells arise, " says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. "But, " he cautions, "some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur. He discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available. " 73. ______The exact process involved is still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. "Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, "We can’t prepare a medicine against universe rays.” 74. ______With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes, are inactive in normal cells. Anything from universe rays to radiation to diet may activate an inactive gene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous. 75. ______The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter. "First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can reduce its action. " |
