San Francisco is a big city which lies in the west of the United States very near the Pacific, where two earth’s plates often meet and jump. So earthquake is a  41  word to hear there.

I remember vividly the call that changed my life. It was Tuesday, February 18, when the  56 rang in the kitchen of my Los Angeles home. On the  57  was Marty Bandera, a literary agent to whom I had sent a draft(草稿) of my novel three weeks earlier. " I have a couple of 58 ," Bandera said.

"First, how old are you?" " I'm 48," I replied.

"Are you in good  59 ?" "Yes, excellent. What's this about?"

"I've sold your novels 60  one and a half million dollars."

I sat down in  61 . I had written over fourteen novels in twenty years, but each one had been rejected by the publishers. I suppose many people would have been  62 , but not me. Each time, I just got down to writing another one. My husband advised me to find something else to do, but I refused to  63 . Seeing this book published was the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's a mystery story (like all the others) and it was on the best-seller  64  two weeks after publication!

I got my first lesson in story telling from my grandmother. She used to read me stories. She was the one who gave me a  65  of words. She sparked(激发) my  66  and she has been a  67  influence on me. I always had stories running through my  68  and as soon as I could write I put them down on paper.

I married young and I have three children, but I never stopped writing,  69  novels between doing the diapers(婴儿的尿布) and dishes. I am writing another novel now. Yes, my  70  has changed my life.

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in U.S.A. for 17 years, I had no  71  about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted," 72 !"

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  73  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps  74  their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.

My students  75  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said," Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today.  76  her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  77  theme (主题). "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical (哲学的) framework of Western thought and laid the historical background for all the works we'll study in class," I complained. "How  78  they say I didn't teach them anything?"

It was a long term, and it  79  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as  80  of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise  81  questions and provide enough background so that students could  82  their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide  83  information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

84 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me an American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different 85 .

 

71. A. worry         B. idea          C. doubt               D. experience

72. A. Attention     B. Look out   C. At ease      D. Stand up

73. A. puzzled       B. sure          C. curious      D. worried

74. A. more          B. even          C. yet            D. still

75. A. passed         B. borrowed   C. kept          D. read

76. A. Naturally    B. Perhaps     C. Fortunately D. Reasonably

77. A. different     B. strong       C. similar      D. usual

78. A. should               B. need          C. will           D. must

79. A. immediately       B. certainly    C. simply       D. gradually

80. A. that            B. what         C. those         D. ones

81. A. difficult      B. interesting        C. ordinary    D. unusual

82. A. draw           B. get            C. decide       D. give

83. A. strange        B. wrong       C. exact         D. serious

84. A. Therefore    B. However   C. Besides      D. Though

85. A. person               B. human       C. cultural     D. culture

 

Part III. Reading Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage 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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a tick(√).

 

Passage 1 

Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage.

Most American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university, such as an apartment. College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short.

Many foreign students say the dorms are less costly than apartment. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.

Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a halfway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.

In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorms for men and women.

86. Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?

A. In a hotel   B. In a house     C. In an apartment       D. In a friend’s home

87. What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?

C. It is cleaner.

D. It is owned by the university.

88.   How many students can a dorm hold at the most according to the passage?

C. Females students and male students cannot live in the same dorm.

D. Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relations with others.

 

Passage 2 

Questions 91 to 95 are based on the following passage.

Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. The government does help pay for some medical care for people who are on low incomes and for old people, but most people buy insurance (保险) to help pay for medical care. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance are an important political subject.

In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert without seeing their family doctor first. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist.

Doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.

91.   Some medical care is paid by the U.S. government for____.

A. people living in the country

B. non-government officials

C. people with insurance

D. the poor and the old

92. Most people in the U.S. buy insurance____.

A. to pay for their own medical care

B. to help to live on their low incomes

C. to improve the national health care service

93. What do British people usually do when they are ill?

A. They go to see their family doctor first.

B. They go to see a specialist doctor first.

C. They call for a specialist doctor.

D. They call for a family doctor.

94. In America, seriously ill patient will ____.

A. be treated if they have an insurance

B. make an appointment with a specialist only

C. receive treatment even without insurance

D. normally go to see an expert for treatment

95. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. Types of Doctors in the United States

B. Health Care in the United States and Britain

C. Treatment of Sick Children in the United States

D. Medical Insurance in the United States and Britain

 

Passage 3

Questions 96 to 100 are based on the following passage.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree, In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For very course that the follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating his to appear before a student court, with the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

96. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.

A.36             B.12                 C.20                    D.15

97. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______.

A. to live in a different university

B. to take a particular course in a different university

C. to live a home and drive to classes

D. to get two degrees from two different universities

98. America university students are usually under pressure of work because ______.

A. their academic performance will affect their future careers

B. they are heavily involved in student affairs

C. they have to observe university discipline

D. they want to run for positions of authority

99. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ______.

A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university

C. such positions help them get better jobs

D. such positions are usually well paid

100.  The student organizations seem to be effective in ________.

A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university

B. ensuring that the students observe university regulations

C. evaluating students' performance by bringing them before a court

D. keeping up the students' enthusiasm for social activities

 

Passage 4

Questions 101 to 105 are based on the following passage.

Years ago our cities were full of cars, buses and trucks. Now the streets are completely congested(拥挤的) and it is very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will enormous(巨大的) motorways be built across them? With big motorways cutting across them, full of noisy, dirty cars and lorries, our cities are going to be awful places. How can we solve the problem?

There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars. In 1989, for example, the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment: passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.

In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus, train or tram in the city.

In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles, and pedestrians are safe there.

In London there is another experiment: part of the street is for buses only, so the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxies in front of them.

101.  What the writer worries about in a big city is _____.

A. the number of traffic lights

B. the shortage of buses

C. the lack of motorways

D. the traffic congestion

102. In which city passengers on the city bus once did not have to pay for their tickets?

A. London.

B. Rome.

C. Stockholm.

D. None of the above

103. What city once experimented with a very cheap bus service?

A. London.

B. Rome.

C. Stockholm.

D. None of the above

104. In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because ______.

A. No traffic is allowed on some streets

B. traffic is computer-controlled

C. cars move very slowly

D. only one way streets are open to traffic

105. In London, how do they solve the problem of the traffic congestion?

A. They take a completely-free bus service.

B. They experimented with a very cheap bus service.

C. Part of the street is for buses only.

D. They closed the streets to cars.
