Paper One
Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension(15minutes 15%)(共 15 题 略)
Part II
Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed
by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the
Answer Sheet.
Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember
that when they picked it they d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared
for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you,
dont lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you
can, too.
If you wish to pick up a new name, you dont need to make the change official. Under
common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember,
though, that you must use it everywhere-even with your mother-for it to become your
legal name.
Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder
than any paperwork involved, but you ll probably meet official resistance, too. (86)
Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you
use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot
get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You dont have to show them any sort
of court document. You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose.
By this time, youve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult
than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can
be unusually encouraging. Dont care too much if you have to keep reminding others
of your change of a new name-keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your
new name. Good luck!
16. You may wish to change your name because ______.
A. you are required to do so
B. you dont mean to have your name last a lifetime
C. you like to follow what film stars often do
D. you may not like your parents choice
17. If you wish to start using the name of your own choice, you _____.
A. must get your friends to call your new name
B. dont have to get permission from anybody
C. must use it with your mother first
D. need to be approved by the court
18. No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only ______.
A. you pick up a new name not for purpose of wrong-doing
B. you can get your fellow workers to call you the new name
C. the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new name
D. some sort of court document is given to you
19. You may realize that changing your name _____.
A. usually has good effect
B. is actually asking for trouble
C. is not as easy as rearranging your room
D. means you have to go through some troubles
20.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to _____.

C. tell you how easy it is to change one’s name
D. list all the difficulties in changing one’s name
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of
how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make
jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is
evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more
enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder.(87) As far as increasing
productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way
is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind
of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated
machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be
important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another
important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is
making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some
car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather
than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the
cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contribution
an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves
certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because
the work they do is so boring. Money may explain demands for shorter working hours.
(88) Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither
want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
21. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?
A. To make jobs more varied.
B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.
C. Degree of work contribution.
D. Demands for longer working hours.
22. Why workers want more money?
A. Because their jobs are too boring. B. In order to enjoy more spare time.
C. To make their jobs more interesting. D. To demand shorter working hours.
23. The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers
jobs more interesting .
A. they will want more money B. they will demand shorter working hours
C. more money and shorter working hours are important factors
D. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them
24. In this passage, the author tells us .
A. how to make the workers more productive
B. possible factors leading to greater efficiency
C. to what extent more money lead to greater productivity
D. how to make workers jobs more interesting
25. The author of this passage is probably a .
A. teacher
C. manager
B. worker
D. psychologist
Laziness is a sin. everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing
out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful,and that lazy people will never
amount to anything in life.
But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex
reasons than the simple wish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are
suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow
workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed
at or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be deadened
by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may
prevent work:(89) some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals
of fantastic achievements, that they are unable to deal with whatever " lesser "
work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work, strictly speaking; they
are nearly procrastinating——rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators,some people look lazy when
they are really thinking, planning, researching. We should all remember that some
great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasnt working in the orchard
when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Taking a rest can be
particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor whos simply
working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.
So be careful when you re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking,
resting or planning his or her next book.

Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually
classified as science fiction(科幻小说).Hundreds of titles are published every
year and are read by all kind of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful
films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature,
but its ancestors(原型)can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These
books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a
theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last
one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention
just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.
Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure
stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical
developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are
a reflection(反映)of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing
has obvious political undertones(含意).
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes(超越)science fiction, the
writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. (90)Those who
are sufficiently clear – sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide
a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably
face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.

虽然你的父母打算让你的名字用一辈子,但是请记住当他们给你取名的时候,他们还没
有认识你,并且当他们选择时,他们所在意的希望和梦想不一定和你的一样。如果你的名字
似乎不再适合你,不要灰心。电影明星出于一些目的改变了他们的名字,你同样也可以。
如果你想取一个新的名字,你不需要使变化变得官方。在通常的法律下,开始使用你所
选择的新名字时所有的都是必需的。记住,就算是跟你的母亲,在任何地方你都要使用它,
这样它就会变成你的合法的名字。
让你的朋友和同事叫你 Leach 而不是 Lola 可能比任何卷入的书面工作更难一些,不过你
