Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Studying abroad has always been an important element of learning the language and culture of another country. When you cross cultural boundaries you learn something even more valuable than a new language and a new way of life. You learn to see for yourself in a new light, and things will never again look quite the same.
We live in an increasingly interdependent world. To survive and succeed, as individuals and as a nation, we must establish close, meaningful contacts with our colleagues in other countries. We must work toward understanding each other, sorting through our differences and finding the common ties of common people that all of us share. This is more than just high-sounding rhetoric; it is a possible vision. This vision can be achieved through the experiences involved in studying abroad. Studying abroad represents a very real investment in one's own future and growth besides being an investment in the future of the world. Being transplanted or transferred from the familiar to the unfamiliar provides a unique opportunity for self-discovery, as well as personal and professional growth. Only thirty years ago, studying abroad was considered an unusual and costly educational option, but now, opportunities and programs are abundant. State University of New York at Oswego offers a wide variety of programs in countries as diverse as the hosts themselves.
As the world grows smaller, and our options increasingly expand, studying abroad needs to be a key part of your education. However, some students hesitate to take the first step because of certain false stories that surround the idea of studying overseas.

B. We must try hard to understand each other.

D. We must often travel around to widen our vision.
4. Why do some students hesitate to take the first step towards going abroad?

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages．They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users, This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Mr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important thing to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
11. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low
D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
12. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. Unawareness of energy cycles.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
13. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the evening, he should _______.
A. change his energy cycle B. overcome his laziness
C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier
14. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _______.
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In the United States, when people attain legal marriage age and meet certain medical requirements, they are free to choose their own mates. Once a couple has decided to get married, the man customarily gives the girl a diamond ring. The use of a ring comes from the ancient custom of using a ring to settle an important agreement. When the wedding day is decided upon, the girl sends wedding announcements or invitation to friends and relatives.
On the wedding day it is supposed to be bad luck for the bride and bride-groom to see each other before the wedding. Another old custom that many people believe will bring good luck to the marriage is for the bride to wear "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue".
Before the wedding day the bridegroom always chooses a "best man", a good friend to help him and stand beside him during the wedding ceremony. The idea of having a best man originated from the belief that evil spirits, envious of the couple's happiness, would be out to harm them, but would be confused by so many similarly dressed people. The custom of the best man goes back to the ancient days when a strong friend helped the bridegroom escape from the bride's friends. Bells were originally rung at weddings to frighten away the evil spirits, and noisy celebrations were held beforehand to try and drive them from the community.
When a couple gets married, the groom gives his bride a wedding ring. Many marriages are double-ring ceremonies — that is, the bride and the groom exchange rings. The wedding ring is customarily a simple plain gold band. The roundness of the ring symbolizes eternity and announces that the couple is untied for life. The wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand. People believe that a vein from the third finger runs directly to the heart.
Near the end of the reception, which is offered by the bride's parents, the bride throws her bunch of flowers to the unmarried women. The lucky girl who catches it is supposed to be the next one to get married.
16. People can get married when____________.
A. they arrive legal age B. they have a baby
C. they meet certain medical requirementsD. both A and C
17. Which of the following can bring the marriage good luck?
A. The bride and groom have a date on the previous night of the wedding ceremony.
B. The groom finds a lot of handsome best men to stand beside him at the ceremony.
C. The bride throws her bunch of flowers to the unmarried women.
D. The bride wears "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue".
18. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the "best man" is not true?
A. The best man should be a good friend to help the groom and stand beside him during the wedding ceremony.
B. The best man was originally used to confuse the evil spirits with the many similarly dressed people.
C. The best man is the person who should ring the bells at the wedding ceremony to frighten away the evil spirits.
D. The best man in ancient days should be strong enough to help the bridegroom escape from the bride's friends.
19. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the wedding ring is not true?
A. The roundness of the wedding ring means that the marriage will last for ever.
B. The roundness of the wedding ring shows that the couple is united for life.
C. The wedding ring is usually worn on the third finger of the right hand.
D. The wedding ring is usually a simple plain gold band.
20. What's the best title for this passage?
A. The Tradition of Wedding Ring.
B. The Best Man and the Wedding Ceremony.
C. Good Luck at the Wedding Ceremony.
D. Wedding Customs and Traditions.
Passage 5
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Nutritional (营养的) status affects children’s behavior. Well-nourished children are more alert and attentive and are better able to benefit from physical and learning experience. Poorly nourished children may be quiet and withdrawn, or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in physical activity. They may suffer from being laughed at and emotional stress by being excluded from playmates.
Children’s resistance to infection and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to become ill; they also recover more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.
Malnutrition is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished because of unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.
It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate intake of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary intake later.
21. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.
A. be attentive while learning B. be too active in class
C. benefit from physical activity D. behave very properly
22. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Children’s resistance to illness is directly proportional to their poor nutritional status.
B. The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.
C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to be the victims of any infections disease.
D. The ‘cycle’ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.
23. Malnutrition may be caused by __________.
A. a poor environment B. unwise food selections
C. under-nutrition D. all of the above
24. It is implied in the passage that ________.
A. over-nutrition is even more harmful than under-nutrition
B. malnutrition has serious effect on child’s physical development
C. the nutritional condition of young child deserves more concern than that of adult
D. the nutrients intake can be improved as the child grows up
25. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The difference between well and poorly nourished children.
B. The effects of nutrition on children.
C. The cause of malnutrition.
D. The importance of balanced dietary intake.
Passage 6
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The only certainties I’ve found in life are death and change. One is an end, the other a beginning. Change is life. Without change there would be no growth, no understanding, no relating and no surprises. We are by nature changing beings. Still, we seem to fear and resist it more than any other aspect of life.
Healthy human beings welcome the opportunity to adapt to new experiences. In fact they are quite comfortable in a constant state of change. They know about the possibility of becoming someone new each moment. Only habit and indifference prevent the rest of us from having the same outlook.
When we don’t care, or submit ourselves to patterns and routines, we begin to stagnate. We are inclined to accept the comfortable illusion that life is a series of habits and conditioned responses. In reality this is a comfort more like a disease, which leads to a kind of intellectual and emotional death. We can allow ourselves and dynamic world to go to waste. Ellen Glasgow, an American novelist, said, “The only differences between a rut（车辙）and a grave are their dimensions.”
To accept new ideas and give up old values and habits is not always comfortable. It is often easier for us to deny that there may be more appropriate, more creative possibilities for our lives. We fail to understand that when we resist potentialities, life becomes at best a continual struggle; at worst, it passes us by and we are left alone and lonely.
26. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Change is as inevitable as death.
B. Some of us fear change because it leads to death.
C. Change is characteristic of the life of human beings.
D. Death is the inevitable result of change.
27. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. All human beings want to be healthy by adapting to new experiences.
B. Some people do not welcome change as a result of habit and indifference.
C. Constant change results in comfort for some people.
D. Healthy human beings are not subjected to habit and indifference, and keep on trying to become someone new.
28. According to the passage, “The only differences between a rut and a grave are their dimensions” suggests that ______.
A. if we regard life as a series of habits and conditioned responses, our life actually ends
B. some people die a kind of intellectual and emotional death
C. death is inevitable
D. too much comfort often results in death
29. The word “stagnate” in paragraph 3 means ______.
A. stop working hard B. stop developing
C. become weakD. fall ill
30. The author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph is ______.
A. to tell us that if we resist change, we’ll suffer from loneliness in life
B. to show the reason why some people do not accept new ideas or give up old values and habits
C. to come to the conclusion that if we go against the law of change, it will be impossible for us to enjoy life
D. to show that it is because of our desire to seek comfort that we tend to deny our lives
Passage 7
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr. Lissy F. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at the university of California, Los Angeles, and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans Hospital. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concern 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr. Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.
However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to complete mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr. Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only into the 30s and 40s, but into the 60s and 70s as well.
As for learning new things, and ability to remember, studies by Dr. Jarvik and others show that the old are equal to the young. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace.
In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay (衰退), it is not necessarily a sign of a decay due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state. This depression usually can be counteracted by counseling, a medical treatment with a psychologist, which fights depression.
In American society, when an older person loses something, we tend to call him or her “senile”. But notice that when a younger person loses something, he does not blame it on senility or loss of memory. He finds some other excuse!
31. According to Dr. Jarvik’s studies, middle-aged and older persons should expect to ______.
A. remember less B. reason better
C. learn fewer new things D. lose little ability to remember, reason or learn
32. A long term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that the only factor that declined over the years was __________.
A. the reasoning ability B. the psycho-motor speed
C. the decline in knowledge D. the loss of intellectual ability
33. Both younger and older persons should realize that ____________.
A. a sign of a decay due to old age is a natural law
B. mental decay due to aging is closely related to one’s health conditions
C. a good emotional state can ensure a longer life
D. mental decay due to aging is much less common than most of us believe
34. What is the probable meaning of “counteract” from the context?
A. convincedB. lessenedC. added D. rewarded
35. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A. People, either young or old, tend to view their mental decay incorrectly.
B. With ageing, one’s emotional state is on the decline.
C. Old people are not well educated and are thus slow to pick up new things.
D. The decline of intellectual ability is usually accompanied by the drop in psycho-motor speed.

Passage 9
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
The old familiar song, “The Green, Green Grass of Home”, used to bring a smile, but the current drought in Florida is turning so many green lawns into burned, brown fields ready for a fire to explode from a lightning strike or careless cigarette.
The situation is serious, but there are ways to solve the problem. According to Marshall McLuhan, a famous Canadian educator, “Our age of anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s job with yesterday’s tools ― with yesterday’s concepts.”
Santa Barbara in California was faced with the same danger some years ago and the city officials called a meeting of the city engineers and water department to find new tools ― new concepts to save lawns.
The solution was gray water. The term gray water is given to the water we use when we wash our hands at the sink, take showers, wash clothes, etc. That water is going into the sewer (下水道) or septic tanks (化粪池) at an alarming rate.
The water can save lawns and trees without any harm. Santa Barbara developed an attachment that could be installed on the plumbing (管道设备) of the city homes for as little as $50 that would permit this valuable water to save lawns and landscaping from drying up without risk to the citizens. The city water department in Santa Barbara arranged to install the units and bill homeowners the small cost added to their low monthly payments until it was paid out.
The only gray water that is a threat is the water used in the washing machine and even that is safe to use on the lawn if you’re careful about what kind of soap you use.
41. The writer mentions the old song “The Green, Green Grass of Home” at the beginning of the passage in order to ______.
A. remind people of the good old days
B. create a kind of holiday atmosphere
C. make people aware of the harmfulness of smoking
D. set off by contrast the seriousness of the present draught in Florida
42. To solve many of our problems we are faced with today, the writer suggests that we ______.
A. make full use of yesterday’s tools
B. rely on new concepts to handle today’s problems
C. invent new tools and apply them in our work
D. combine yesterday’s concepts with new ones
43. Gray water refers to ______.
A. water that is gray in color
B. water that exists in nature
C. water that usually flows out of our homes after being used
D. water that we usually use to irrigate our gardens
44. The people in Santa Barbara could have gray-water units installed on the plumbing of their homes ______.
A. for free
B. For $50, which should be paid before the installation
C. for less than $50
D. for $50, which would be paid on a monthly basis
45. This passage was probably written ______.
A. to suggest the installation of gray-water units in Florida
