Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)
阅读下列短文,并从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并写在答题纸的相应括号内。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry loud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing students for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of examinees for a state examination, timed exactly by an electric clock and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. 
One type of test is sometimes called“objective ”test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three other statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material well enough.
21.Which of the following statements is true about students in the Middle Ages?
 (  )
A. They took objective tests.
B. They specialized in one subject.
C. They usually took spoken tests.
D. They were timed by electrical clocks.
22.The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ( )
A. workers now take examinations
B. the population had grown rapidly
C. there are only written exams today
D. most examinations are now written and timed
23.During a(n)( )test, students must select the correct answers from four choices.
A. written B. spoken  C. personal  D. objective
24.Modern industry must have developed( )
A. shortly after the Middle Ages  B. around the 19th century
C. in Greece and Rome D. in the European universities
25.It can be concluded from the passage that the examination(  )
A. should always be written in modern society
B. should deal with facts not personal opinions
C. has changed greatly since the Middle Ages
D. has ever been given in factories
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column(专栏).After she retired, she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems-mostly problems with communication.
Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the year, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called:“Sixty Plus,” which focuses on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.
Anna Douglas used her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he come to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people’s music and to watch the most popular television shows.
It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questioning and listening –and listening is not what old people do best.” She continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize(批评)your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”
26.Anna Douglas understands the problems of old people because( )
A. she herself is old
B. she likes their music
C. she has grandchildren
D. she watches their television programs
27.Anna Douglas’ newspaper column( )
A. contains mostly funny stories
B. has some ideas for youngsters
C. is about how to find jobs for old people
D. discusses the problems of the aged
28.What advice did Mrs. Douglas NOT give to the reader whose grandchildren didn’t want to see him?( )
A. Listen to pop music
B. Watch more popular TV shows
C. Tell more interesting stories
D. Try to understand his grandchildren
29.According to Mrs. Douglas, old people need to learn how to (  )
A. work  B. criticize  C. listen  D. complain
30.According to the last paragraph, the main point of Mrs. Douglas’ advice is that old people(  )
A. have a lot to learn from the young
B. should understand and respect the young
C. had better improve their hearing not to misunderstand the young
D. should show respect for the young even when criticizing them
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
“Culture consists of all shared products of human society”(Robertson ,1981).This means not only such material things as cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material things such as ideas, customs, family patterns ,and languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society , “the ways of a people”.
Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, the maintaining of culture would not be possible .On the other hand ,language is influenced and shaped by culture, and it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises(包含)their historical and cultural backgrounds, as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking.
We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact(相互影响),and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.
Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another, that each culture is unique. As cultures are spanerse, languages are spanerse. It is only natural that with differences in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Understanding is not always easy.
Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as native speakers of that language see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their society, learning to understand their “language of the mind”. Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable(不可分割的)from learning its culture.
31.According to the first paragraph, the term “culture.” refers to ( ).
A. things like cities, organizations and schools
B.ideas, customs, family patterns and languages
C.all things manufactured by human race
D.the total that constitutes a society
32.The second paragraph tells us about (  )
A. the role of language in culture
B. the relationship between language and culture
C.the influence of culture on language
D.the representation of culture
33.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to some social scientists?
A. Language reflects culture
B. Language shapes culture
C. Language represents culture
D. Language maintains culture
34.The passage implies that there will be no difficulty in communication if people from different countries can ( )
A. speak each other’s languages
B. master each other’s languages and cultures
C. tell the differences between languages and cultures
D. communicate in the same languages
35.This passage is probably taken from a book (  )
A. on cultures
B. on language learning
C. on learning a language through culture
D. on communication in different countries

Ⅶ. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
In the U.S., you can feel free to visit in people’s homes, share their holidays, and enjoy their lives without feeling obliged (有义务的) to continue a lifetime relationship. Do not hesitate therefore to accept invitations from Americans simply because you cannot invite them to your home in return. No one will expect you to do so. Americans will enjoy welcoming you and will be pleased if you accept their friendship easily.
Visitors may notice that although Americans include them easily in their personal daily lives, they do not show visitors a great amount of special courtesy(热情)if doing so requires much time. This is frequently the opposite of what occurs in some countries, where people are especially generous in giving their time to visitors, but do not necessarily welcome them as guests in their homes. In some places, hosts will spend much time acting as a guide-all evidence of great generosity(慷慨;大方).Yet they may never invite the guest to meet their families or join their family life. It is important to note that in both cases the feeling is equally warm and friendly; only the way of expressing courtesies if different.
