II. Cloze Test
The money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A   11    organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease      12  is simply a starving for protein. Doing   13    such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean   14    a life-over the years, several human lives.
Children not    15   from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe   16    the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child    17   in a region of great poverty.    18   what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it   19    probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no   20   . That is all that need be said.
11. A. relied      B. fund      C. domestic      D. medical
12. A. why      B. when      C. where      D. which
13. A. with      B. for      C. against      D. without
14. A. to save      B. saving      C. save      D. saved
15. A. recovering      B. having      C. suffering      D. infecting
16. A. which      B. what      C. that      D. where
17. A. alive      B. life      C. live      D. survive
18. A. Giving      B. To give      C. Given      D. Give
19. A. would      B. should      C. must      D. need
20. A. doing      B. operating      C. laboring      D. functioning
III. Reading Comprehension
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "Why didn't I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. If we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky boy" or "You're a lucky girl", that's being friendly. But there's a bit of envy in "lucky dog." Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.
"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.
The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.
21. According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because       .
      A. mistakes have already been made      B. mistakes can made them feel bad
      C. they are unaware of their mistakes      D. they are doubtful of their friends
22. People make mistakes when they fail to       
      A. deal with others with due friendliness      B. hide their true feelings in what they say
      C. realize they deserve what they have got  D. see the real meaning of what others say
23. Judging from the phrase "just think of all the things you have to be thankful for", it is clear that the speaker actually lacks       .
      A. optimism      B. sympathy      C. motivation      D. courage
24. To be a successful listener, one is advised to       
1.        A.      ask the speaker as many questions as he can 
2.        B.      observe the speaker as carefully as possible 
3.        C.      listen to the speaker as attentively as he can 
4.        D.     challenge the speaker as actively as possible 
25. The passage aims to tell readers how to       .
      A. interpret what people say      B. interpret what money means
      C. avoid mistakes about people      D. avoid mistakes about money
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don't know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood pressure.
Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans (大豆).
The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.A's expert panel wasn't ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart. It's just too easy to get more omega-3 than you need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fat's benefits-as long as the label does not suggest taking more than two grams per day.
One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls. You still have to eat a well-balanced diet that's lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume. Otherwise, you're fishing for trouble.
26. Doctors have long been puzzled by       .
      A. why red meat is harmful      B. how beneficial fish are
      C. what makes fish healthful      D. how red meat is replaced
27. We can learn from the passage that       .
A.     human beings get omega-3s from their food 
B.     omega-3s are only found in fish and soybeans 
C.     omega-3s are the raw material for saturated fats 
D.     polyunsaturated fats constitute human molecules 
28. The A.H.A. didn't recommend omega-3 pills, because       
A.     it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-3 
B.     it had no evidence that they can protect the heart 
C.     the pills contain too little omega-3 to be helpful 
D.     one is likely to get too much omega-3 from the pills 
29. The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3's benefits on condition that       
A.     their suggested dose is printed on the label 
B.     their suggested dose is within the safety limit 
C.     the fat's potential side effects are mentioned 
D.     the products contain side effects are mentioned 
30. The writer seems to suggest that       
A.     omega-3s can balance one's diet 
B.     omega-3s can serve as a supplement 
C.     an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3s 
D.     a well-balanced diet contains enough omega-3s
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It was a terrible tragedy, six times more deadly than the Titanic (泰坦尼克号). When the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine (潜水艇) in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people---mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Germany-were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the dicks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into sea as the ship listed and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to get aboard. Most people froze immediately. "I'll never forget the screams," says Christa Nutzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave-and rarely mentioned for more than half a century.
The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable-and necessary. By unreservedly confessing their country's horrible crimes Germans have managed to win acceptance abroadand make peace with their neighbors. Today's unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they've now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to identify German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.
31. The Wilhelm Gustloff went down because       
A.     it ran into an ice storm 
B.     it was hit by another ship 
C.     it crashed into a submarine 
D.     it was attacked by torpedoes 
32. Most passengers on board the Wilhelm Gustloff took the voyage to       
A.     taste the luxury of the ship 
B.     seek protection in another place 
C.     escape the cold winter back home 
D.     enjoy their holidays abroad 
33. As the ship began to sink, some passengers       
A.     set the decks on fire as a signal for help 
B.     fought fiercely on the decks for lifeboats 
C.     jumped into sea and swam to a nearby ship 
D.     prevented others from getting on their lifeboats 
34. The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy remains a near secret for more than half a century because Germans       
A.     preferred to say nothing about it 
B.     were requested to keep silent about it 
C.     spared not effort to cover up the story 
D.     were denied access to the whole story 
35. It can be inferred from the passage that Germans no longer think that       
A.     it is too early to claim responsibility for the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy
B.     the German tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation's past 
C.     they will be misunderstood if they talk about the German tragedy 
D.     Germany is responsible for the horrors it caused during World War II

VII. Translation from English into Chinese
71. Between labor and play stands work. A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job which society pays him to do; what from the point of view of society is necessary labor is from his own point of view voluntary play. Whether a job is to be classified as labor or work depends, not on the job itself, but on the tastes of the individual who undertakes it. The difference does not, for example, coincide with the difference between a manual and a mental job; a gardener or a cobbler may be a worker, a bank clerk a laborer. Which a man is can be seen from his attitude toward leisure. To a worker, leisure means simply the hour he needs to relax and rest in order to work efficiently. He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much; workers die of coronaries and forget their wives' birthdays. To the laborer, on the other hand, leisure means freedom from compulsion, so that it is natural for him to imagine that the fewer hours he has to spend laboring, and the more hours he is free to play, the better.

71. 劳役和玩乐之间是工作。一个对获得社会支付的职业感兴趣的人就是工作者；从社会角度来看必须付出的劳动而在个人来看就是自愿选择的娱乐。一个职业是归类为劳役还是工作不是看其职业本身，而是看从事这一职业的个人爱好。比如，这个差异并不是体力劳动与脑力劳动之间的差异；一个花匠或皮匠可以是个工作者，而一个银行职员则可能是苦役者。对此从他对休闲的态度就可以看出。对于工作者来说，休闲只是他为了更有效地工作而放松休息的时间，因此他花费的休闲时间很可能太少而非太多，他常常死于冠心病或忘记他妻子的生日。而对于劳役者来说，休闲就是摆脱强制，因此对他来说自然是劳作时间越少而玩的时间越多越好。
