Passage 2 Many people believe the glare from snow cause snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow-light”. The United Stated Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets his irritation by producing more and more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, and then is obscured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness. Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and stop searching over the snow-blindness landscape for something to see. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind and the white terrain is overcome.6. According to the passage, to prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glassed are _____. A. useful B. indispensable C. ineffective D. effective 7. The eyeballs become sore and the eyes muscles ache because _____. A. tears cover the eyeballs B. the eyes are irritated by blinding sunlight in the snow-land C. the eyes are irritated by blinding snow D. there is nothing to focus on8. When the eyes are sore, tears are produced to _____. A. clear the vision B. relieve snow-blindness C. ease the irritation D. loosen the muscles 9. Snow-blindness may be avoided by _____. A. concentrating on the solid white terrain B. providing the eyes with something to focus on C. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain D. covering the eyeballs with fluid10. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _____. A. give the men behind something to see B. find out what is under C. warm themselves in the cold D. show the way forward to the men behind

VI. Short answer questions. (10 points)Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). When we are learning a foreign language, we constantly have to fight a battle, and that is a battle with our own language, always wants to interfere with the target language. Every time we want to say something, we have to push aside our own language, because it keeps coming up in front. And we only become successful at doing this when we manage to suppress our own language and use the target language with some degree of fluency. So this means that grammar does have a role in language learning. It is not something we are completely unconscious of. And I think there are three good reasons why we still need grammar. The first reason is that when we are learning English as a foreign language, we cannot avoid grammar. We are learning a language in an artificial situation, in the classroom; we are not learning a language as young child following his mother round the room, and copying things she says and doing things she tells him to do. We are learning, sitting in rows, in a highly artificial way, so that it takes a long time to acquire language and grammar. Every time we learn something, we have questions about it. The second reason why we need grammar when we are learning a foreign language as grown-ups, is that grammar gives us shortcut to learning. It’s a quick way to understand something. The more information we are given, the more it helps us to understand something. The more information we are given, the more tit helps us to understand the principles of language acquisition, so that we can communicate better. The third reason why we learn grammar is that it is expected. In other words, it is unimaginable that we would learn a language and not have any grammar. If we don’t have any grammar, all the mistakes we make will become a habit, and we will learn to form very, very bad habits in the way we express ourselves, because no one would correct us.Q1. What is the topic of this passage?_____________________________________________________________________Q2. Why do we have to fight a battle with our own language?_____________________________________________________________________Q3. What does the author mean by “… learning a language in an artificial situation” (line 2. Para. 2)?_____________________________________________________________________Q4. The reason why grown-ups need grammar when learning a foreign language is that grammar_____________________________________________________________________Q5. From the last paragraph, we see that without grammar _____________________________________________________________________

1. Why we learn/need grammar when learning a foreign language2. Because it always wants to interfere with the target language.3. Just sitting in classroom in a highly artificial way.4. Gives them a shortcut to learning/ gives them a quick way to understand something.5. We wouldn’t know whether we express ourselves correctly.

参考答案：
1. B. 通过网络，可以获取更多的信息。 这四个形容词在意思上非常结进，但描述的.对象却有区别。attainable主要指“（目标等）可以实现的，可达成的，（场所，年龄等）可达到的”。available描述的对象较广，指可“利用的，能够得到”。approachable主要指“（场所）可接近的，可进入的；applicable（人）易于接近的。则主要 “( 规则，计划，安排， 解决办法等)切实可行的 ”。所以本题选B2.B 除其他方面的资格外，玛丽还是一个出色的厨师。 这四个短语都可以表示“除...之外”的意思，但表达的意义却有区别。except 的意思是“从整体里减去一部分”，因为“所说的道理或事实不能适用于那部分”，着重于排除在外，如；We all went there except Xiao Li. 除小李外，我们都到那去了。except 还要求后面所指的必须是主句内容的一部分或同类。except for要不是，除...之外，没有“必须是主句内容的一部分或同类”的限制。 in addition to 则强调“另外，加之，除....之外，又......”。besides表示“除...之外，另外还有”，也要求后面所指必须是主句内容的一部分或同类，如；I have five other books besides this.除这本以外，我还有5本别的书。而本题中qualification与cook既不是同类，也不是后者的一部分。所以本题选B3. A 哪条路是通往隧道的最佳途径。 Approach作名词时，表示“入口，通道，接近，解决问题的办法步骤”等含义，后一般接介词 to 。如；an approach to the bridge.通向桥的路。 4. B 知道最近我才适应大学生活。 Use 可以直接做及物动词和名词用，后面不直接用 to。后面接 to 时一般有以下3种搭配：1）过去式used+to+v.表示“过去常常，往往”，如： I used to go there. 我过去常到那里去。Used he (Did he use) to come by bus？他过去常乘公共汽车来吗？ 2）be(become, get) used+to+n. 表示习惯于某事，如： I become used to noodles now. 我现在习惯于吃面条了。3）be used to+v. 表示被用来做，如：Waterfall can be used to generate electricity. 瀑布可以用来发电。 5. A? 和你的老板争吵不值得。 Worth后面一般接名词或动名词，如： Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. 凡是值得做的事都值得好好去做。Worthy 后可接 of +n.或to do如：A man worthy of praise/worthy to be praised值得称赞的人。value n. 价值； valuable adj. 有价值的。所以本题选A。
Ⅴ. Read the following passages and give the best answers to each question with the information you give have got from the passage. (20 points)Passage 1 In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Thomas Holmes test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress----it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who worked and lived under stress worried over reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazine’s ran headlines like “stress causes illness.” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many-like the death of a loved one---are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is prescription(处方)? for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what about people. It assumes we’re vulnerable(脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity(逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. 1. The result of Holmes-rahe’s medical research tells us _____ A. that the way you handle major events may cause stress B. what should be done to avoid stress C. what kind of event would cause stress D. how to cope with sudden changes in life2. The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to _____ A. widespread concern over its harmful effects B. great panic over the mental disorder it could cause C. an intensive research into stress-related illness D. popular avoidance of stressful jobs3. The score of the Holmes-rahe test shows _____ A. how much pressure you are under B. how positive events can change your life C. how stressful a major events can be D. how you can deal with life-changing events4. Why is “such simplistic advice” (line1, para.3) impossible to follow_____? A. no one can stay on the same job for long B. no prescription is effective in relieving stress C. people have to get married someday D. you could be missing opportunities5. According to the passage, people who experienced ups and downs may become ______ A. nervous when faced with difficulties B. physically and mentally strained C. more capable of coping with adversity D. indifferent towards what happens to them 参考答案：1. A 2. A 3. A 4. B 5. C
