Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that fits into the passage. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Nowadays English learners have a wide choice of dictionaries. There are 1 with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 2 with pictures. One of the most 3 dictionaries I have seen among many students is the 4 electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to 5 a word in your language and you can see it and 6 it in English. That’s great, right? Well, I think it’s great, too…but only sometimes. Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and 7 . They can be great 8 you are traveling and need information quickly. 9 I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual 10 dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain. When you reach an intermediate (中等的）level of English, you know 11 of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head 12 time. You should be translating as little as possible and 13 in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should 14 an English-English dictionary that is made 15 for your understanding. For example， Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and 16 publishing houses do, too. I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you 17 seems to stay in your head longer. It may be 18 you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your 19 . So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don’t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to 20 in English as much as possible.

There are four passages in this section. Each section 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 write the answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
In his 2006 book Stumbling( 偶然遇见) on Happiness, the author Daniel Gilbert, a Harvard professor of psychology, looks at several studies and concludes that marital ( 婚姻的) satisfaction decreases after the birth of the first child and increases only when the last child has left home. He also declares that parents are happier grocery shopping and even sleeping than spending time with their kids.
The most recent comprehensive study on the emotional state of those with kids shows us that the term “bundle of joy” may not be the most accurate way to describe our kids. “Parents experience lower levels of emotional well-being, less frequent positive emotions and more frequent negative emotions than their childless peers,” says Florida State University’s Robin Simon, a sociology professor.
Simon received plenty of hate mail in response to her research, which isn’t surprising. Her findings shake the very foundation of what we believe to be true. In a recent Newsweek Poll, 50 percent of Americans said that adding new children to the family can increase happiness levels. But which parent is willing to admit that the greatest gift life has to offer has in fact made his or her life less enjoyable?
Is it possible that American parents have always been so disillusioned? In pre-industrial America, parents certainly loved their children, but their kids also served a purpose— to work the farm, contribute to the household. Today, we have kids more for emotional reasons, but an increasingly complicated work and social environment has made finding satisfaction far more difficult. Raising children has not only become more complicated, it has become more expensive as well. The National Marriage Project’s 2006 report says that parents have significantly lower marital satisfaction than nonparents because they experienced more single and child-free years than previous generations.
As for those of us with kids, all the news isn’t bad. Parents still report feeling a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives than those who’ve never had kids. And there are other rewarding aspects of parenting that are impossible to quantify.
1.What’s the main idea of the book Stumbling onHappiness?
A.Parents are happier shopping than looking after theirchildren.
B.Once they have children, the couples can never be as happy asbefore.
C.Compared with their childless peers, parents are leading a sadlife.
D.The adding of children at home brings down maritalsatisfaction.
2.What can we infer fromPara.3?
A.The Newsweek Poll shows that people think Prof. Simon’s finding isright.
B.Manypeoplecan’tacceptthefactthatthey arenothappywiththeirchildren.
C.Itisn’tsurprisingthatProfessorSimon’scontroversialresearchmadeherfamous.
D.Simon’sfindingsarebasedonthebeliefpasseddownfromgenerationtogeneration.
3.The underlined word “disillusioned” (Line 1,Para.4) is closest inmeaningto ?
A.mistaken B.illusory
C.unhappy D.emotional
4.What can we learn about American’s families in thepast?
A.People had very good parents-children relationship in thefamily.
B.Having children could be partly out of some practicalpurposes.
C.Parents loved their children but they still asked them to work alot.
D.Children had to work very hard to make their parents lovethem.
5.What’s the author’s opinion about havingchildren?
A.The author doesn’t think having children is a good thing to thefamily.
B.The author feels children make the life of a familyhappy.
C.The author thinks parenting can still be rewarding in a certainway.
D.The author believes that parents sacrifice a lot for havingchildren.
One old and bitter debate in student union bars all over the country is resolved as academic research confirms that in financial terms at least, arts degrees are a complete waste of time. Getting through university increases students’ earnings by 25%, on average, or $220,000 over their lifetime, according to Professor Ian Walker of Warwick University--but if they study Shakespeare or the peasants’revoltinsteadofanatomy orcontractlaw,thosegainsarelikelytobecompletelywipedout.
The government is about to allow universities to charge students up to $3,000 a year for their degrees, arguing that it’s a small price to pay compared with the financial rewards graduates gain later in life. But Prof. Walker’s research shows there are sharp changes in returns according to which subject a studenttakes.
Law, medicine and economics or business are the most lucrative choices, making their average earnings 25% higher, according to the article. Scientists get 10-15% extra. At the bottom of the list are arts subjects, which make only a “small” difference to earnings-- a small negative one, in fact. Just ahead are degrees in education--which leaves hard pressed teachers an average of 5% better off a year than if they had left school at 18.
“It’s hard to resist the conclusion that what students learn does matter a lot; and some subject areas
give more modest financial returns than others,” Prof. Walker said. As an economist, he was quick to point out that students might gain non-financial returns from arts degrees: “Studying economics might be very dull, for example, and studying post-modernism might be a lot of fun.
6.What is the best title for thepassage?

B.How to Make BigMoney.
C.Differences between Science and ArtsDegrees.

You may think people living in a beautiful, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act.
Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profoundloneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishingfeatures.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy atall.

Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low - carbon economy， Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.
“China doesn’t lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy”, said Zhou
Changyi ， director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
“While we can learn many aspects from developed nations, they also should learn something from
us, such as water conservation,” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China’s Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.
He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom, for example, is concerned about transport, buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China, the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrializationandavoidmistakesthatothercountriesmadewhentheywereindustrialized.
As such, overseas exhibitors at this year’s fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.
Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product life-cycle assessment, or LCA, which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.
Tobias Becker, head of ABB’s process automation division for North Asia and China, said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.
LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product’s environmental impact throughout its life- cycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to - use stage. For example, a motor’s initial investment accounts for only 3 percent of its life-cycle cost, while 94 percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest tomaintenance.
Richard Hausmann, North East Asia CEO of Siemens, said, “The color of future industrialization is green.” The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros (US 8.8 billion) for intelligent net power networks, Smart Grid, over the next five years.

You are going to read a list of headings and a text. Choose a heading from the list A--G that best fits the meaning of each numbered part of the text (21-25). The first and last paragraphs of the text are
not numbered. There are two extra headings that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.
The time for sharpening pencils, arranging your desk, and doing almost anything else instead of writing has ended. The first draft will appear on the page only if you stop avoiding the inevitable and sit, stand up, or lie down towrite.(21) .
Be flexible. Your outline should smoothly conduct you from one point to the next, but do not permit it to railroad you. If a relevant and important idea occurs to you now, work it into the draft.
(22). Grammar, punctuation, and spelling can wait until you revise.
Concentrate on what you are saying. Good writing most often occurs when you are in hot pursuit of an idea rather than in a nervous search for errors.
(23). Your pages will be easier to keep track of that way, and ifyou
have to clip a paragraph to place it elsewhere, you will not lose any writing on either side.
If you are working on a word processor, you can make advantage of its capacity to make additions and deletions as well as move entire paragraphs by making just a few simple keyboard commands. Somesoftwareprogramscanalsocheckspellingandcertaingrammaticalelementsinyourwriting.

Once you have a first draft you can delete material that is unrelated to your thesis and add material necessary to illustrate your points and make your paper convincing. The student who wrote the A P asastatewiselydroppedaparagraphthatquestionedwhetherSammydisplayschauvinisticattitudes

Remember that your initial draft is only that. You should go through the paper many times – and then again --- working to substantiate and clarify your ideas. You may even end up with several entire versions of the paper. Rewrite. The sentences within each paragraph should be related to a single topic. Transitions should connect one paragraph to the next so that there are no abrupt or confusing shifts. Awkward or wordy phrasing or unclear sentences and paragraphs should be mercilessly poked and prodded into simple.
[A]To make revision easier, leave wide margins and extra space between lines so that you can easily add words, sentences and corrections. Write on only one side of thepaper.
[B]After you have already and adequately developed the body of your paper, pay particular attention to the introductory and concluding paragraph. It’s probably best to write the introduction last, after you know precisely what you are introducing. Concluding paragraphs demand equal attention because they leave the reader with a finalimpression.
[C]It’s worth remembering, however, that though a clean copy fresh off a printer may look terrible, it will read only as well as the thinking and writing that have gone into it. Many writers prudently store their data on desks and print their pages each time they finish a draft to avoid losing any material because of power failures or otherproblems.
[D]It makes no difference how you write, just so you do. Now that you have developed a topic into a tentative thesis, you can assemble your notes and begin to flesh out whatever outline you have made.
[E]Although this is an interesting issue, it has nothing to do with the thesis, which explains how the setting influences Sammy’s decision to quit his job. Instead of including that paragraph, she added
one that described Lengel’s crabbed response to the girls so that she could lead up to the A P “policy” he enforces.
[F]In the final paragraph about the significance of the setting in “AP” the student brings togetherthereasonsSammy quithisjobbyreferring tohis refusaltoacceptLengel’sstorepolicies.
[G]By using the first draft as a means of thinking about what you want to say, you will very likely discover more than your notes originally suggested. Plenty of good writers don’t use outlines at all but discover ordering principles as they write. Do not attempt to compose a perfectly correct draft the first timearound.
