　　Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 for each)

　　Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 6 questions or

　　unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the

　　best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your

　　machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

　　Passage One

　　Until last spring, Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on

　　Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation

　　costs. So the school’s busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia’s bus altogether.

　　Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”—a group of

　　kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.

　　Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding

　　new way to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the

　　typical American school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to

　　trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn’t affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More

　　than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to

　　stay within budget.

　　Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so

　　themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school,

　　compared with only 16 percent in 2001. modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to

　　school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those

　　concerns have diminished.

　　Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is

　　a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers

　　to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling. They are also using

　　computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren’t always the shortest

　　ones.

　　There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student

　　begins walking to school, it’s an environmental win—but if too many of their parents decide to

　　drive then instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more

　　parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times

　　safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them

　　better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly

　　when the route contains a really big hill.

　　31. The “walking school bus” _____.

　　A does not consume fuel

　　B aims to keep children fit

　　C seldom causes traffic jams

　　D is popular with school kids

　　32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with ____.

　　A individual schools

　　B school districts

　　C teacher

　　D parents

　　33. As regards walking to school, modern parents seem much concerned with the _____.

　　A time spent on the way

　　B changes in the route

　　C kid’s physical strength

　　D safety of their children

　　34. To save money, some schools choose to _____.

　　A take the shortest routes

　　B shorten the school week

　　C give drives better training

　　D use fuel efficient buses

　　35. Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to _____.

　　A fiercer competition among bus companies

　　B more students taking public transportation

　　C an increase in carbon dioxide emissions

　　D a decrease in the safety of school buses

　　36. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards busing cutbacks?

　　A Favorable

　　B Critical

　　C Objective

　　D Indifferent

　　Passage Two

　　People are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A

　　baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expects to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79.

　　this is indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (長壽)of

　　women, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth

　　century. However, the difference was smaller then – the gap is growing.

　　A number of reasons have been proposed to accounts for the differences. The gap is greatest

　　in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains

　　that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are

　　encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers,

　　involved in fewer accidents).

　　Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that

　　working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap

　　would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more

　　women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing

　　sharply.

　　One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men.

　　That is, they report far more illnesses. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be

　　serious.

　　Some researchers have suggested that men may die early because their health is more

　　strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than

　　women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a

　　marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows

　　retirement with an alarming promptness.

　　Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the

　　answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans.

　　Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian ( 哺乳動物的) species, in that they

　　generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment

　　of conception; there are more male miscarriages(流產). In human, after birth, more baby boys

　　than baby girls die.

　　37. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

　　A Men’s lifespan remains almost unchanged.

　　B Researchers have found the cause of the age gap/

　　C The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.

　　D The age gap was noticed only recently.

　　38. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two factors relevant to women’s longer lifespan are ____.

　　A diseases and road accidents

　　B industrialization and work strains

　　C their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcohol

　　D their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure

　　39. According to Paragraph3, which of the following statements is true?

　　A The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap.

　　B The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap.

　　C Female workers are more likely to smoke than make workers.

　　D Smoking does not seem to affect women’s longevity.

　　40. Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?

　　A Men’s health is more closely related to their emotions.

　　B Through more liable to illnesses, women still live longer.

　　C Men show worse symptoms than women when they fall ill.

　　D Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement.

　　41. The word”edge” in Paragraph 6 means “_____”.

　　A margin

　　B side

　　C advantage

　　D quality

　　42. What is the main idea of the passage?

　　A The greater longevity of women remains a mystery.

　　B That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity.

　　C People are living longer as a result of industrialization.

　　D Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life.

　　Passage Three

　　Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take

　　advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows

　　that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not

　　using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.

　　Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of

　　smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights

　　and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable

　　consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that

　　lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.

　　Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption

　　of sensor ( 傳感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain.

　　Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power

　　consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless

　　networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of

　　window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.

　　The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both

　　the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free

　　wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environments. To

　　facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Greenpeak has developed an

　　ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as

　　light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and

　　computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy,

　　enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.

　　Wireless sensor networks deployed in out offices and homes will have an enormous impact

　　on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized.

　　These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better

　　control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people

　　worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.

　　43. By “human intervention” (Paragraph 2), the author refers to _____.

　　A the reduction of great energy waste in the environment

　　B the grasping of straightforward opportunities available

　　C acts like turning off lights when no one is in the room

　　D the adoption of smart sensing and network technology

　　44. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ____.

　　A have to be replaced from time to time

　　B contain metals that pollute the environment

　　C require automatic recharging

　　D are difficult and costly to maintain

　　45. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that _____.

　　A there is energy in the environment to be utilized

　　B the cost of using them has been drastically reduced

　　C modern data communication consumes little energy

　　D their maintenance has been greatly simplified

　　46. According to the passage, GreenPeak _____.

　　A is the first company to install wireless sensor networks

　　B promotes the application of wireless sensor networks

　　C supplies batteries operating on harvested energy

　　D benefits handsomely from communication technology

　　47. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the _____.

　　A replacement of batteries in harvesters

　　B monitoring of energy harvested from the environment

　　C elimination of batteries in sensor networks

　　D impact of sensor networks on power supply

　　48. Wireless sensor networks promise to ____.

　　A bring businesses high profits

　　B further develop the sensing technology

　　C turn motion into a major source of energy

　　D improve the daily lives of people worldwide

　　Passage Four

　　If you haven’t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few month you’ve

　　probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary

　　phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have more likely encountered

　　aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all.

　　While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely

　　as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association,

　　41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about

　　two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.

　　Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed

　　almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably

　　partially correct. One suggestion is sheer to overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars

　　on the roads has increased by more than 11 percents, and the number of miles driven has increased

　　by 35 percent. However, the number of new road miles has only increase by 1 percent. That means

　　more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas. Also, people

　　have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (瑣事)

　　and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads

　　to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.

　　You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be

　　surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, ounded the horn long and

　　hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from assign? If you recognize yourself in

　　any of these situations, watch out!

　　Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you,

　　there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are sceptible to Road Rage,

　　the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage,

　　do everything possible to get away from the other driver safety, including avoiding eye contact

　　and getting out of their way.

　　49. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that _____.

　　A people not interested in the media know little about recent happenings

　　B Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few months

　　C one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid them

　　D the media coined the term “Road Rage” only a few months ago

　　50. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year _____.

　　A drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highway

　　B more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk driving

　　C two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive driving

　　D 41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving

　　51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?

　　A Increasing number of cars

　　B Drivers’ stress and anxiety

　　C Overcrowded roads

　　D Rush hour traffic

　　52. The word “spell” in Paragraph 3 means”_____”.

　　A speak

　　B cause

　　C describe

　　D spare

　　53. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?

　　A Talking while driving

　　B Driving fast

　　C Yelling at another driver

　　D Sounding the horn when passing

　　54. The last paragraph is intended to _____.

　　A tell people how to cope with Road Rage

　　B inform people how aggressive drivers could be

　　C tell people how to control themselves when angry

　　D warn people against eye contact with another driver

　　Passage Five

　　In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and

　　other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that

　　though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was

　　cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer,

　　but also by the audience. Aware of the “Clever Hans” effect, Lisa Lit at the University of

　　California and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might

　　similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr Lit found,

　　they do.

　　Dr Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before

　　the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three

　　target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper.

　　What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either

　　drugs or explosives. Any “detections” made by the teams thus had to be false.

　　The findings reveals that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised

　　one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts stuck

　　Dr Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.

　　When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they

　　were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only

　　distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that

　　distraction to their animals—who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying

　　“wolf” at the unconscious signal of their handlers.

　　How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example,

　　unconsciously “profiled” people being sniffed by a drug, or explosive-detecting dog at an airport,

　　false positive could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team

　　from catching the guilty.

　　55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?

　　A He was as clever as people claimed.

　　B He was really good at counting.

　　C He could understand human language.

　　D He merely responded to human signals.

　　56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ____.

　　A questioned the “Clever Hans” effect

　　B discovered the “Clever Hans” effect

　　C confirmed the “Clever Hans” effect

　　D rejected the “Clever Hans” effect

　　57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that ____.

　　A each search area contained three target scents

　　B there was actually no target scent in the search area

　　C some target scents may be labeled with a special mark

　　D their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper

　　58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr Lit?

　　A The location of the false alerts

　　B The regularity of the false alerts

　　C The number of the false alerts

　　D The timing of the false alerts

　　59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ____.

　　A dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs

　　B dogs may act in response to their handlers’ bodily signals

　　C the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success

　　D well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers’ signals

　　60. The author thinks that Dr Lit’s findings _____.

　　A should raise our concern in real life

　　B may not be useful in real situations

　　C should be backed up by further evidence

　　D will be widely applied in the near future

　　Part IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)

　　Zoos have become an important site for the preservation and protection of wildlife resources,

　　__61__ those species that are endangered. __62__, many zoos displayed live animals for public

　　entertainment. Presently some zoos have become scientific and educational __63__ that have

　　contributed to the understanding and conservation of wild animal populations. __64__ the

　　challenges facing modern zoos are the cost of upgrading old facilities, the struggle to obtain

　　__65__ operating funds, and the need to attract more visitors to new and entertaining exhibits.

　　Many __66__ zoos in American cities have undergone renovation ( 翻新) during the last

　　decades of the twentieth century. Among the recent trends in zoo __67__ is the construction of

　　new enclosures that resemble natural habitats (棲息地). The replacement of traditional steel bars

　　and concrete floors __68__ appropriately designed surroundings improves visitor appreciation of

　　the animals. Such renovations may __69__ stress on animals and allow them to interact with one

　　another more naturally.

　　Several major zoos conduct captive propagation programs. A captive propagation program

　　includes the breeding of __70__ zoo or wild animals to obtain offspring, usually for release to

　　__71__ or for transfer to other zoos. Captive breeding is one method of __72__ some species from

　　extinction.

　　Zoos have expanded and improved public education programs also ,with education

　　departments that develop programs __ 73__ zoo exhibits. Public activities include in-school

　　programs, zoo tours, special events, and websites. The Zoological Society of New York, for

　　example, conducted a major project with a Western African government to monitor an elephant

　　herd __74__ it moved throughout its range.

　　The importance of zoos will increase as natural habitats are diminishing. Through their

　　efforts __75__ conservation, education, and environmental advocacy, zoos will continue to play a

　　critical role in wildlife preservation throughout the world.

　　Part I Translation (30 minutes, 20 points, 10 for each section)

　　Section A

　　Over the years, we tend to think that unclear technologies and the necessary know-how to

　　ensure nuclear safety have been developed to a level that possibilities for any major nuclear

　　accidents are almost non-existent and if it does happen, it will be controlled in the capable hands

　　of nuclear engineers. However, reality has proved again that you just can’t be too careful to handle

　　nuclear energy. We don’t know for sure yet what will be left behind Japan’s nuclear crisis, but it

　　will be certain that it is time to re-examine our nuclear practices and many more efforts need to be

　　made to ensure nuclear safety in the future.

　　Section B

　　中國有著5000 年得文化傳統，歷經劫波而生生不息，我們一定要充分發揚祖國的文化

　　傳統。同時我們也懂得，要學習和借鑒世界先進的文明。只有這樣，才能使祖國的文化得到

　　進一步發展，也就是我常說的，直郵開放包容，才能使祖國強大。

　　這些年來，我們習慣性地認為原子能技術和必要的實踐經驗已經足以保證核安全。一切

　　重大的核事故幾乎都不存在，哪怕其真的發生，也會被有能力的核工程師們控制影響。然而，

　　事實再一次證明處理核能源再小心都不為過。我們還不確定日本的核災難會留下什么影響，

　　但現在一定是我們重新審查原子能實踐的時候了。為確保將來的核安全，我們還需付出很多

　　努力。

　　How to Handle the Stress

　　Nowadays more and more people have been under various stresses and there has been an

　　increase in stress-related diseases among employees and students. This phenomenon has aroused

　　immediate concern and widespread discussion among the general public. From my perspective,

　　the resources of stresses can be from our work, family and also from the society, and learning how

　　to deal with stresses has far-reaching significance to our body health.

　　As a matter of fact, some solutions to reduce stresses can be illustrated below. The first one

　　that comes to my mind readily is to share our stress with others. It can be enormously helpful

　　because we may feel quite relaxed after talking to others and things even turn better if we get any

　　valuable suggestions from them. What’s more, making time for fun such as listening to music and

　　watching movies may be good medicine. Additionally, it is also a great way to reduce anxiety to

　　do a large number of physical activities.

　　From what has been discussed above, I strongly believe that we should know how to reduce

　　enormous stress because it poses a general threat to human body health. As a common employee, I

　　often feel immense stress at work. In those cases, I always tried to talk with my close friends to

　　hear their advice or just listen to my favorite music. Only by having both mental and physical

　　health can we hope to do our job well in the future.
