8、ons Annie took the bus into town to shop in the market. For an hour or _16 she would walk up and down between the stalls looking at everything, buying here and there, and _17 a sharp lookout for the bargains that were sometimes to be had. And then, with all the things she needed _18_ she would leave

9、 the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour_19 she liked best: looking in furniture shop windows.One Wednesday she found a new shop full of the most delightful things, with a notice inviting anyone to walk in and look _20_ without feeling they had to buy something. Annie hesitated

10、for a moment before stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped _21_ before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which said: This fine chair is yours _22_ less than a pound a week, and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty. A pound a week. _23_

11、, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it! A voice at her shoulder made her _24_. Can I help you, Madam?

14、estion there are four answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points) Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering,

15、in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather tha

16、n the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people generalists. And these generalists are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begi

17、n it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a trained man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist - and especially the administrator - deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with plan

18、ning, and with direction giving. He is an educated man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though

19、 different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you - but this is pure accident. Certainly you s

20、hould not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee. Test 2At the bottom

21、 of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per

22、 cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly o

23、n the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world - the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold ai

24、r current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in theworld and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes m

25、ost of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia - a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.Section IV: Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words whic

31、ts)It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. (71) If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his

32、 interests and abilities. (72) If a student goes to university to acquire a broader perspective of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit. (73) Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere, with its time tables and disciplines, to allow him much

33、 time for independent assessment of the work he is asked to do. (74) Most students would, I believe, profit by a year of such exploration of different academic studies, especially those “all rounders“ with no particular interest. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to ta

34、ke their degrees, so that in later life, they do not look back and say, “I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadn* t taken a degree in Modem Languages, I shouldnt have ended up as an interpreter, but its too late now. I couldnt go back and begin all over again.”(75) There is, of course

35、, another side to the question of how to make the best use of ones time at university. (76) This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning. (77) He is immediately accepted by the University of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emergi

36、ng with a first-class Honour Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. (78) It therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice. Only

37、 in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.198?年全国硕士研究生入

(15 points)Text 1For centuries men dreamed of achieving vertical flight. In 400 A.D. Chinese children played with a fan-like to

44、y that spun upwards and fell back to earth as rotation ceased. Leonardo da Vinci conceive the first mechanical apparatus, called a Helix,“ which could carry man straight up, but was only a design and was never tested.The ancient-dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian engineer piloted a st

45、range looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards, and then settled back to earth. The vehicle was called a helicopter.Imaginations were fired. Men drea

46、med of going to work in their own personal helicopters. People anticipate that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled.The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine. It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. Corporations use them as airborne offices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them i
