II. Reading Comprehension (2 .5marks each, 40 minutes)
Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.
Questions 91 ~ 95 are based on the following passage:
There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.
The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the 414 calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.
91. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about ____ a year.

95. In the 414 calendar system, the first term begins ___.
A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In January D. In February
Questions 96~100 are based on the following passage:
In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first Tarzan(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
96. Women are called the weaker sex because ____.
A.women do as much work as men
B.people think women are weaker than men
C.sport is easier for men than for women
D.in sport the two sexes are always together
97. Which of the following is true?
A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.
B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.
C.Famous Prime Ministers are women.
D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.
98. That at least is what people say. Means people____.
A.say other things too
B.don’t say this much
C.say this but may not think so
D.only think this
99. What problems does sport have?
A.Some women athletes are actually men.
B.Some women athletes are given hormone injections.
C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
100. In this passage the author implies that ____.
A.women are weaker than men, but faster
B.women are slower than men, but stronger
C.men are not always stronger and faster than women
D.men are faster and stronger than women
Questions 101~105 are base on the following passage:
The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.
Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.
If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.
101. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay?
A.A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.
B.A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.
C.A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.
D.A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.
102. The word album in the first sentence means___.
A.a holder for sets of disc
B.a blank book used for collecting stamps
C.a frame in which the best stamps are displayed
D.a small box where colorful stamps are kept
103. Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement refers to ___.
A.postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stamps
B.various organizations and systems that sell new stamps
C.organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectors
D.knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order
104. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.
B.Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated on stamps.
C.Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.
D.Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 126~130. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (126) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (127) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 128) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (129) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (130) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.

Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.
More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntaryin other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.
111 According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.
A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing function
C. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered146~150. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
(146he invention of electronic computers makes it possible to free man from the labour of complicated measurement and computation.
A high speed electronic computer can carry out up to one hundred million arithmetical operations in one second. A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds147) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers.
Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions.
And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct.148) Yet there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustrate how much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations.149) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second.
We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (150) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them in any order.

Questions 91 ~ 95 are based on the following passage:
There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.
The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the 414 calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.
91. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about ____ a year.
A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks
92. The academic year begins ____.

95. In the 414 calendar system, the first term begins ___.
A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In January D. In February
Questions 96~100 are based on the following passage:
In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first Tarzan(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
96. Women are called the weaker sex because ____.
A.women do as much work as men
B.people think women are weaker than men
C.sport is easier for men than for women
D.in sport the two sexes are always together
97. Which of the following is true?
A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.
B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.

D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.
98. That at least is what people say. Means people____.
A.say other things too
B.don’t say this much
C.say this but may not think so
D.only think this
99. What problems does sport have?
A.Some women athletes are actually men.
B.Some women athletes are given hormone injections.
C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.
100. In this passage the author implies that ____.
A.women are weaker than men, but faster
B.women are slower than men, but stronger
C.men are not always stronger and faster than women
D.men are faster and stronger than women
Questions 101~105 are base on the following passage:
The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings and scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.
Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a beginning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.
If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.
101. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay?
A.A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.
B.A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.
C.A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.
D.A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.
102. The word album in the first sentence means___.
A.a holder for sets of disc
B.a blank book used for collecting stamps
C.a frame in which the best stamps are displayed
D.a small box where colorful stamps are kept
103. Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement refers to ___.
A.postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stamps
B.various organizations and systems that sell new stamps
C.organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectors
D.knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order
104. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.
B.Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated on stamps.
C.Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.
D.Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 126~130. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (126) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (127) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 128) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (129) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (130) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.

Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.
More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntaryin other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.
111 According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.
A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing function
C. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles

IV. Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)
Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered146~150. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.
(146he invention of electronic computers makes it possible to free man from the labour of complicated measurement and computation.
A high speed electronic computer can carry out up to one hundred million arithmetical operations in one second. A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds147) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers.
Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions.
And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct.148) Yet there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustrate how much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations.149) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second.
We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (150) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them in any order.
