Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 A child of five is friendly, competen

10、t and obedient, although he may be bossy with other children and is sometimes sufficiently independent to call his mother names. He is still dependent on adult approval and praise, and so orientated (对感兴趣) to the grown-up that he tells tales without seeing the other childs point of view. There is no

11、 real discussion yet fives talking together indulge in a “collective monologue (独白)“; quarrelling with words often begins towards the end of the year. Group play is often disrupted because everyone wants to be the mother or the bride or the captain of the fire brigade. Each child has an urgent need

12、for constantly recurring (反复的) contact with an adult in spite of all his efforts to be independent. In his unsureness he may make statements about his own cleverness and beauty, hoping that the adult will praise him: this is not conceit but a cry for reassurance. He loves to say “Watch what I can do

13、.“ Reality and fantasy are still intermingled and this confusion may lead him to elaborate on facts. 21 It is implied in the passage that a competent child _.（A）does what he is told（B） plays with other children（C） can perform certain task（D）tells other children what to do 22 A five-year-old child so

O

16、f all the achievements of American engineering, only the landing on the moon and the planting there of a wrinkled flag can rival the construction of Panama Canal as an epoch-making accomplishment. The Suez Canal, the trans-Siberian Railroad and the Taj Mahal all pale beside it. The canals constructi

17、on is more closely akin to the pyramids of Egypt in its scope and difficulty of execution, but in the modern era, there is only the moon.Like the landing on the moon, the construction of a canal across the narrow Isthmus of Panama was a dream long before it became reality. As early as 1534, Charles

18、I of Spain proposed a canal at Panama, but it would take nearly 400 years for builders to catch up with his imagination.When the canal finally was proposed required all the creativity the twentieth century could muster. It was the largest public work ever attempted. Its engineers had to control a wi

19、ld river, cut the continental divide, construct the largest dam and man made lake known to that date and swing the largest locks ever constructed from the biggest cement structures then poured. Along the way, two of the worlds most devastating diseases had to be wiped out in one of their greatest st

20、rongholds. And all of this was to be done without the airplane or the automobile: Kitty Hawk rose into the head-lines in 1903the same year the U. S. signed a treaty with Panamaand there was no read across the isthmus until the World War .If Panama has had an unusual role in bygone dreams, it most ce

21、rtainly has a startling relationship to the hard facts of geography. The country is farther east than most people imaginethe canal and about half of Panama actually lie east of Miami. Because of the countrys shallow “S“ shape and east-west orientation, it has places where the sun rises in the Pacifi

22、c and sets in the Atlantic. More significantly, Panama is squeezed into the narrowest portion of Central. At the canal, just 43 miles of land separate Atlantic and Pacific shores. Perhaps even more important, Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divideoriginally 312 feet

23、above sea level at the canals Culebra Cut. By comparison, the lowest pass in the United States is nearly 5,000 feet.25 In scope and difficulty, the canals construction was most closely alike to that of the _.（A）Suez Canal（B） trans-Siberian Railroad（C） Taj Mahal（D）pyramids of Egypt 26 A canal in Pana

24、ma was first proposed in the _.（A）1, 300S（B） 1, 500S（C） 1, 6008（D）1, 700S 27 The canal was built with the help of _.（A）the airplane（B） the automobile（C） both the plane and the automobile（D）neither the plane nor the automobile 28 Which of these statements is true?（A）About half of Panama lies east of

25、Miami.（B） Panama is squeezed into the narrowest portion of Central America.（C） Panama offers the lowest point in the North American continental divide.（D）All of the above are true. 28 Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea“.Before the nineteenth cen

26、tury, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant (不愿意) to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelle

27、rs or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a te

28、legraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the U. S. Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853 for information on this matter. In the

29、1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 18

30、66 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years

31、oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895. 29 T

32、he passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly _.（A）for oceanographic studies（B） for military purposes（C） for business considerations（D）for investigating the depths of the oceans 30 It was _ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.（A）the American Navy（B） some early intercont

33、inental travellers（C） those who earned a living from the sea（D）the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable 31 The aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was _.（A）to make some sound experiments in the oceans（B） to collect samples of sea plants animals（C） to estimate the length of cable

34、that was to be made（D）to measure the depths of two oceans 32 “Defied“ in the 5th paragraph probably means _.（A）doubted（B） gave proof to（C） challenged（D）agreed to 32 Ever since humans have live on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts

35、and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these s

36、ymbols of whole words are very vivid and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of indicating that the part is only joking. A nod Signifies approval, w

37、hile shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals, Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While language is the

38、most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.33 Which of the following statements best summarizes this passage?（A）When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.（B） Everybody uses only one form of Communication.（C

39、） Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.（D）Although other forms, apart from language of communication exist, they are of little value. 34 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）There are many forms of communication in existence today.（B） Language is the most common form of com

40、munication.（C） Tourists are incapable of using an oral form of communication.（D）Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language. 35 Which form other than era4 speech could be most commonly used among blind people?（A）Picture signs.（B） Braille.（C） Body language.（D）Signal flags. 36 Sign language

41、 is said to be very vivid and exact and can be used internationally except for _.（A）spelling（B） ideas（C） whole words（D）expressions 36 Anyone who has ever attended a university knows that the quality of lecturers varies greatly. A few are very effective communicators, conveying the substance of their

42、 lectures clearly and interestingly and inspiring students to want to know more about the subject. Others produce dull lectures from which the students learn little and which are likely to kill any interest they may have in the subject. Lecturing is a major part of a university lecturers job and it

43、would seem reasonable that effectiveness in this task should be a major standard in assessing a lecturer for promotion. However, it is very often the case that far more weight is given to such factors as participation in research, number of publications and even performance of administrative duties.

44、 My point of view is that a lecturers lecturing should be regularly evaluated and that the best people to carry out this evaluation are those directly on the receiving end.It could, of course, be argued that students are not competent to evaluate the academic quality of lectures, If anyone should ev

45、aluate lecturers, it should be their colleagues. However, I am not arguing that students should be asked to comment on the academic content of lectures, but to evaluate the effectiveness.I suspect that many of the objections to student evaluation stem from the fear some lecturers have of being subje

46、ct to criticism by their students. However, lecturers should see such evaluation as an opportunity to become aware of defects in their lecturing techniques and thus to become better lecturers. Such a system should benefit both students and lecturers as well as help department heads to assess the str

47、engths and weaknesses of their teaching staff. 37 According to the author, all the students know that _.（A）there are great differences among the lecturers as to their quality of teaching（B） quite a lot of teachers can produce the results students desire（C） they must be inspired to learn（D）it is too

48、dull to attend lectures 38 In the authors opinion, teachers can only be promoted depending on _.（A）how well they get along with the students（B） how well they give their lectures（C） how many papers and books they have published（D）how well they conduct their academic researches 39 Which of the followi

49、ng statements is true according to the passage?（A）Students are academically capable of making comments on the skills of teaching.（B） Students are actually capable of judging the class accomplishments of lectures.（C） Students likes and interests are the standards of evaluation of a teachers lecturing.（D）Students are not to give assessments of a teachers lecturing. 40 The author believes that _
