Passage 1

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

While  it’s  normal  to  feel  lonely  or  isolated  from  time  to  time,  too much  loneliness  can be unhealthy  or  even dangerous. The good news is, loneliness is a condition that can be fought against and overcome!  Here are things to do when you feel lonely.

Take a walk. Walking has been proven to offer many great benefits both for the body and the mind. Any form of exercise would do it as well, but walking is better because it allows you to explore your town or the area around you in a way a car simply does not allow. Besides, you may discover something new!

Talk to people. Through Facebook, email and QQ, people are more connected than ever before. The problem with all these kinds of communication tools is that they ignore the face-to-face element of socialization. Someone wondered, “I have 6000 friends on Facebook but I don’t have one person to go out at night!” Try getting out and talking to your neighbors or even total strangers. This is a great way to keep away from loneliness.

Is something making you lonely? Asking some questions can make you understand loneliness well and find the cure quickly. Are you with someone who makes you feel lonely? Are you in a new town? What’s making you unhappy? In some cases, people feel lonely because something is missing. In others, people feel lonely because something needs adjusting. This can be hard to identify, because we always try to hold on to the things that we believe make us happy.

If all else fails, seek help. If nothing seems to be helping, it’s time to see a doctor. Depression frequently affects people’s health, and persistent loneliness is a key indicator. It is possible that medication may be helpful, depending on the type and severity of loneliness you have. It takes a lot more courage to ask for help than it does to pretend everything is fine.

13.   According to the third paragraph, the effective way of getting rid of loneliness is______.

A.   to make oneself busy                                B. to talk on the Internet

C. to have face-to-face communication          D. to write email

14.   Why do we need to see a doctor for our loneliness?

A.    Doctors are most helpful to treat loneliness.

B.    It takes less time to keep away from loneliness.

C.    It takes a lot more courage to ask a doctor for help.

Passage 2

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage

The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.

First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet  (芭蕾 ) dancer. “I’m an inside guy. ” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.”

On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just very easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale  (唿氣) has a tendency to form an invisible  (隱形的) cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.

Leroy Chiao,  54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile, your eyes are telling you that you’re standing straight. That can be annoying 一 that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple of days 一 truly terrible days for some 一 astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.

Space travel can be delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration   (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.

16.   What is the major challenge to astronaut sleep in space?

A.    Deciding on a proper sleep position.

B.    Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.

C.    Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly.

D.    Finding a right time to go to sleep.

17.   The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _______

A.   they circle around on their bikes.

B.    they use microcomputers without a stop.

C.   they exercise in one place for a long time.

D.   they watch a movie while pedaling.

18.   Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _______

A.    their senses stop working.

B.     they have to stand up straight.

C.     they float out of their seats unexpectedly.

D.    their brains receive contradictory messages.

19.   One of NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _______

A.    how much exercise they do on the station.

B.    how they can remain healthy for long in space.

C.    whether they can recover after returning home.

D.    whether they are able to go back to the station.

20.    The tone of the author is _______.

A. objective       B. emotional       C. subjective        D. person

Section B (20 points)

Directions: In this section there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one wordfor each blankfrom a list ofchoices given in a word bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your          choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any ofthe words in the bank more than once.

You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two  general levels  of usage:  a formal  level  and an 21 level. English  is no exception. The difference in these two levels is the 22 in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of 23 you find in textbooks, reference books, and in business letters. You would also 24 formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school. Informal language is used in conversation with 25, family members and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends.

Formal language is 26 from informal language in several ways. First, formal language tends to be more polite. What we may find 27 is that it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or a family member, “Close the door, please.” But to a stranger, I 28 would say, “Would you mind closing the door?”

Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others are informal. Let’s say that I really 29 soccer. If I’m talking, to my friend, I might say “I’m just crazy about soccer!” But if I were 30 to my boss, I would probably say “I really enjoy

soccer.”

A. interesting D. probably G. usageJ. different M. colleagues

B. language E. use H. talking K. formal N. difficult

C. like F. college I. situation L. play O. informal

IV.   Cloze (20 points)

Directions: There are 10 blanks in thefollowing passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the ONE that bestfits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet  with a single line through the centre.

Perhaps because going college is so much a part of the American dream, many people go for no 31 reason. Some go because their parents expect it, others because it’s 32 their friends are doing. Then, there’s the belief that a college degree will 33 ensure a good job and high pay.

Some students drag through four years, 34 classes, or skipping them as the case may be, reading only what can’t be avoided, looking for less 35 courses, and never being touched or changed in any important way. For a few of these people, college 36 no satisfaction, yet because of parental or peer pressure, they cannot 37 leave. They stop trying in the hope that their teachers will make the decision for them by failing them.

To put it bluntly  (直截了當(dāng)?shù)? , unless you’re willing to make your college years count, you might be better off 38 something else. Not everyone should attend college, nor should everyone who does attend begin right after high school. Many college students profit 39 their priorities and goals. If you’re really going to get something out of going to college, you have to make it mean something, and to do that you must have some idea why you’re there, 40 you hope to get out of

it, and sort out even what you hope to become.

As a student, I can tell you that there is nothing better than being praised by my teacher before my classmates. I will be extremely thrilled if my classmates can respond sincerely with nodding and applause.

Being praised by my teacher in front of my classmates will make me extremely happy. Meanwhile, it can inject great power  in my  self-awareness  and  self-confidence.  Self-confidence  can help me  overcome  all the  anxieties  and worries, decrease the pressure and steer me to the right path to success.

I’m a little bit sensitive when it is concerned about teachers’ assessment about me. Thus, when I’m spoken highly of by my teacher, I feel like winning a prize in a competition. The appraisal inspires me to give a better performance.

I’m genuinely grateful to my teacher for his/her recognition and encouragement. This incident will be rewarding and inspiring for me in my lifetime.
