笔试部分(120分)
I. 阅读理解。(20分)
(A)
Many students around the world like to attend a college or university's online education in the United States. They can take classes to earn a degree at home through the Internet.
Online learning is also called distance education. Many American colleges and universities have been offering it for years. One example is New York University in Manhattan. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies began online classes in 1992. Its Virtual College has taught more than ten thousand students from across the United States and other countries. Last year, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies launched NYU Online. It offers NYU's first online programmed to earn a bachelor's degree. Programmed are offered in three areas: leadership and management, information systems management and social science.
University officials say classes are highly interactive (互动的), where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to all log in at the same time so they can attend a live lecture by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects. The university says classes are taught by NYU professors who have been trained in online teaching. International students must take two admissions tests before they can be accepted into the programmer. They are the SAT and the TOEFL. The cost of attending NYU Online depends on how many classes a student takes. It can cost as much as 15,000 dollars a year. NYU offers no financial help for international students in this programmed.
Many other schools offer online education. Students should be especially careful of programmed that offer a degree in return for little or no work. These are known as diploma mills (文凭加工厂), and are illegal in the United States. Educational advisers also say that before you enter any programmer, make sure the work will be recognized in your country. You should also make sure the schools you are considering are accredited (公认合格的).
1. The purpose of the passage is to ____.
A. introduce something about American online learning
B. introduce something about American colleges and universities
C. advertise NYU
D. try to ask students to attend distance education
2. The last paragraph mainly tells us ____.
A. many schools offer online education in the USA
B. some online education offer false degree
C. some advice that students should consider before entering online education
D. all the online schools should be accredited
3. Which of the following about NYU Online education is NOT true?
A. It has online education programmed for over 10 years' history.
B. The teachers have been trained for the programmed.
C. It offers online education to students both in the USA and abroad.
D. The cost of NYU Online is as much as 15,000 dollars a year.
4. The students in NYU Online education can ____.
A. meets each other
B. go to America to attend professors' live lectures
C. work together on team projects
D. be accepted into the programmer then take the SAT and the TOEFL
(B)
Potatoes are a traditional part of American meals. But people are not eating as many potatoes as they did in the past. The United States Department of Agriculture reports that it expects potato consumption to decrease during the next fourteen years.
Growers say one main reason is that more people are worrying about getting too fat. Several popular weight-reducing plans restrict (限制) carbohydrates. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates. American potato farmers also face competition from foreign growers. To deal with these problems, a non-profit organization is working to get farmers to limit potato production. The United Potato Growers of America (UPGA) was formed more than a year ago. Its members plant most of the potatoes in the nation.
Limiting production breaks with tradition. Over the years, many American potato growers have done their best to grow large crops. The more potatoes they produced, the more they had to sell. But too many potatoes for sale mean too little profit. So the potato grower’s organization wants to reduce the amount of potatoes reaching the market. The goal is to keep demand strong.
Members promise to reduce their planting of potatoes. They also say they will not send potatoes to market when the supply becomes too large. The idea began about two years ago when potato growers from the state of Idaho formed the United Potato Growers of Idaho. The group expanded its membership to become a national organization.
5. Which of the following has NOTHING to do with the fact that farmers produce fewer potatoes?
A. The price of potatoes decreased a lot.
B. More potatoes come from foreign countries.
C. People eat fewer potatoes.
D. The potatoes are getting hard to grow.
6. Which of the following about UPGA is WRONG?
A. Most potatoes in America are produced by its members.
B. It was formed over one year ago.
C. It has become an international organization.
D. It helps American farmers a lot.
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Potatoes B. Potatoes, less popular in America
C. UPGA D. Farmers organized to control potato supply
C
Many Americans find silence uncomfortable while staying in a buffet(自助餐) or at a dinner. So in the United States there is a widespread practice of making “small talk” in certain social situations. Small talk deals with various topics superficially, simply for the sake of keeping a conversation going. The topics might include the weather, sports, college courses, clothing, food, etc. Small talk is especially useful at social gatherings when you meet someone for the first time, or when polite conversation is expected but no serious discussion is desired.
It is common but not necessarily expected that one knows someone in a group before engaging with him or her in conversation. However, at a party or other informal social gathering, a simple “May I join you?” and a self-introduction is normally sufficient to gain acceptance into a group and to join in a conversation. In some places, such as the lobby of a concert hall or theatre, a waiting room or a classroom, it is common for strangers to start a conversation even without an introduction.
Despite the informal phenomenon that is all over the US society, people in the States expect those whom they speak to to put aside whatever they are doing and listening. As a rule, the conversation distance between two people is at least two or three feet. Standing more closely will make many Americans feel uneasy.
8. What's probably not the common topic for small talk?
A. Weather. B. Doing shopping.
C. Career design. D. Paper news.
9. The underlined word “superficially” in the first paragraph is nearest in meaning to ___.
A. seriously B. deeply C. thoroughly D. generally
10. Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. People in the US hate standing too close while talking.
B. A small talk is usually carried out between acquaintances (熟人).
C. Even strangers can start a conversation without an introduction.
D. It's uncomfortable for many Americans to keep silent during waiting time.

October 27 Sunday Fine
Meeting my classmates at the bus stop at the eight in the morning, we were all exciting about going to the exhibition of the developments of science and technology.
There were so many students in the exhibition center. But I was most excited to see the robots, which could talk with people and could do nothing people wanted them to do.
I couldn't wait to get back school in the afternoon to read the book in robots I bought before we left and wrote about this unforgettable experience. Now that you have seen the technology of the future, I know I must work hardly so that I can use the technology in the future. I want to devote me to science work.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。
Sharks have existed for 350 million years, and their basic shape has hardly changed at all during this time. As adults, they have no predators (掠食者) and fear nothing in the ocean. The great white shark is the largest predatory fish, at more than 27 ft (9 m) in length and 2.7 tons in weight. Dozens of huge teeth line its jaws. The great white shark prowls the ocean, eating any kind of meat, alive or dead, and often swallows its prey in one gulp. Sharks have to keep moving in order to take in enough oxygen, and the great white travels more than 300 miles (500 km) in a day. Although most fish have bony skeletons (骨骼), sharks have skeletons made of a substance called cartilage (软骨).

How to deal with frightening natural disasters
As we all know, there have been more and more natural disasters in recent years such as floods, droughts, earthquakes and so on, which have caused a great loss of lives and possessions. So some measures must be taken to deal with these frightening natural disasters.
First of all, building strong warning systems is very necessary, which will help people get ready for the disasters, so we may greatly reduce the loss. Secondly, the whole world should spare no effort to protect the environment in order to avoid some natural disasters caused by human activities. Last but not least, countries should cooperate with each other, setting up powerful rescue systems to reduce the damage in the strike regions.
As far as I'm concerned, If people all over the world can unite together, we are more likely to defeat natural disasters.
