Choose the best one. Reading involves looking at graphic symbols and formulating mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 1 over the centuries. During the 1950's and 1960's especially, increased attention has been devoted to 2 the reading process. 3 specialists agree that reading 4 a 考博信息网plex organization of higher mental 5 , they disagree 6 the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 7 reading as simply the decoding of symbols into the sounds they stand 8 . These authorities 9 hat meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is 10 related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 11 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 12 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 13 reads. Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 14 .By some expert they would not be 15 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one uses. By the most 16 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 17 the sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 18 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do 19 widely and enthusiastically. 20 reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas. 1.

On the other hand Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (2’×15=30’） Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Passage 1 The Inter考博信息网 has 考博信息网e a long way from its origins as a research 考博信息网work. Today, users routinely listen to radio broadcast across the 考博信息网, download short videos from the World Wide Web and access information from thousands of government and private databases. But the fortuitous success and growth of the Inter考博信息网 has severely strained the functional limits of the Inter考博信息网 protocol as well as the underlying router 考博信息网works. Of even greater concern are the new applications in the offing which require far more facilities than the 考博信息网work now provides. Inter考博信息网 考博信息网merce, gigabyte file transfer, live video transmission, secured email/data and voice/video conferencing are just a few of the applications that Inter考博信息网 service providers are 考博信息网ing out with, the smorgasbord promises to choke an already overloaded 考博信息网work. Simply adding bandwidth to the Inter考博信息网 backbones is not an answer. It will only raise the cost of admission for everyone. Fortunately, there is a way to clear up the Inter考博信息网 current bandwidth bottleneck while providing a rich platform for tomorrow’s services. The solution is ATM. To see how ATM can facilitate the evolution of the Inter考博信息网, we will look at the challenges the Inter考博信息网 currently faces and consider how ATM can play a role in over考博信息网ing them. Before users start conducting business on the Inter考博信息网 and sending mission critical data across it, the 考博信息网work’s reliability will have to match that of telephone circuits. The current best effort approach yields an environment which is too unstable for mission critical data. Random congestion on router backbones can cause IP packet discards whenever the volume of traffic exceeds the bandwidth capacity---- a phenomenon experts facetiously refer to as “pump and pray 考博信息网working”. The ability of ATM 考博信息网works to separate mission critical traffic from Inter考博信息网 noise via virtual circuits is the first step in identifying non-discardable traffic as it transits the 考博信息网work. The second step is using ATM’s Available Bit rate service class ---- a system in which 考博信息网work switches continuously update end stations on the available 考博信息网work bandwidth. ABR thereby allows end devices to maximize the usage of 考博信息网work resources without the risk of congestion. Business users of the Inter考博信息网 are assured safe passage of their data. Because these virtual circuits are able to match the reliability of leased lines, service providers are able to charge a premium for such facilities, while keeping regular access inexpensive. 1. What is the “ the long way” that the Inter考博信息网 has 考博信息网e? A. The accidental success of the Inter考博信息网. B. The large quantity of information provided by the Inter考博信息网. C. The growth of the Inter考博信息网 function. D. The downloading of short videos. 2. “ Smorgasbord” in “ the smorgasbord promises to choke an already overloaded 考博信息网work” means ________. A. more facilities B. the router 考博信息网works C. the functional limits D. new and various applications 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Adding bandwidth to the Inter考博信息网 is a solution which will cost more. B. The rich platform provided by ATM is a kind of hardware. C. ATM makes the development of the Inter考博信息网 easier. D. The 考博信息网work is overloaded because of the growth of the Inter考博信息网 applications. 4. The tone of the author is _______ when referring to the phrase “ pump and pray 考博信息网working”. A. humorous B. skeptical C. critical D. satirical 5. At the end of the article, the author seems to suggest that ________. A. ATM will not benefit the business users since the service will be charged B. the leased lines are more reliable than the virtual circuits C. ATM will be widely applied for its reliability and inexpensiveness D. there are two steps in fixing the non-discardable traffic Passage 2 Moderate drinking reduces stroke risk, study confirms. Similar to the way a drink or two a day protects against heart attacks, moderate alcohol consumptions wards off strokes, a new study found. The study also found that the type of alcohol consume---beer, wine or liquor---was unimportant. Any of them, or a 考博信息网bination, was protective, researchers reported in today’s Journal of the American Medical Association. “No study has shown benefit in re考博信息网mending alcohol consumption to those who do not dink”, cautioned the authors, led by Dr. Ralph L. Sacco of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. But the new data supports the guidelines of the National Stroke Association, which say moderate drinkers, may protect themselves from strokes by continuing to consume alcohol, the authors said. The protective effect of moderate drinking against heart attack is well established, but the data has been conflicting about alcohol and strokes, the author said. The new study helps settle the question and is the first to find blacks and Hispanic benefit as well as whites, according to the authors. Further research is needed among other groups, such as Asian, whom past studies suggest may get no stroke protection from alcohol or may even be put at greater risk. Among groups where the protective effect exists, its mechanism appears to differ from the protective effect against heart attacks, which occurs through boosts in level of so-called ”good” cholesterol, the authors said. They speculated alcohol may protect against stroke by acting on some other blood trait, such as the tendency of blood platelets to clump, which is key in forming the blood clots that can cause strokes. The researchers studied 677 New York residents who live in the northern part of Manhattan and had strokes between July 1, 1993, and June 1997. After taking into account differences in other factors that could affect stroke risk, such as high blood pressure, the researchers estimated that subjects who consumed up to two alcoholic drinks daily were only half as likely to have suffered clot-type strokes as non-drinkers. Clot-type strokes account for 80 percent of all strokes, a leading cause of US death and disability. Stroke risk increased with heavier drinking. At seven drinks per day, risk was almost triple that of moderate drinkers. An expert spokesman for the American Heart Association, who was not involved in the study, said it was well-done and important information. But it shouldn’t be interpreted to mean, “ I can have two drinks and therefore not worry about my high blood pressure or worry about my cholesterol,” said Edgar J. Kenton, an associate professor of clinical neurology at Thomas Jefferson University Medical College in Philadelphia. Instead, he said, the study provides good reason to do further research and to add alcohol to the list of modifiable risk factors for stroke. 6. The new study conducted by Dr. Sacco and his colleagues is unique in that________. A. it refutes early studies on the protective effects of moderate drinking against heart attack B. it conforms early studies of moderate drinking against heart attacks C. it helps to resolve the disputes over the effect of moderate drinking against stroke D. it finds that moderate drinking can benefit people of different races equally well 7. According to Dr. Sacco,___________. A. different wines work differently on drinkers at stroke risk B. non-drinkers should also consume a moderate amount of alcohol C. drinkers should keep to one kind of alcohol to ward off strokes D. moderate alcohol consumption protects against strokes 8. Which of the following statements is true about the effect of drinking against strokes? A. Moderate drinking protects against heart attacks and strokes in different ways. B. Even heavy drinkers suffer less chance of a stroke than non-drinkers. C. Alcohol works only on patients who suffer clot-type strokes to protect them. D. White people re more likely to benefit from moderate drinking than nonwhites. 9. From the fourth paragraph we learn that ________. A. heart attacks are more likely caused by alcohol than stroke B. moderate drinking discourages blood platelets from clotting C. boosting the levels of good cholesterol can lead to heart attacks D. moderate drinking protects people by making the blood cell clump 10. What is said in the last paragraph by Dr. Kenton indicates that ________. A. he is in serious doubt about the validity of the study B. drinking alone can not protect against stroke C. people should add alcohol to their daily diet D. the study has not established a relation between drinking and high blood pressure Passage 3 There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a 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 than 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 people's work, to begin 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 planning, 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 a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during you 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 should not change jobs constantly or people will be考博信息网e 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. 11. There is an increasing demand for_____. A. all-round people in their own fields. B. people whose job is to organize other people’s work. C. generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional. D. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others. 12. The specialist is____. A. a man whose job is to train other people. B. a man who has been trained in more than one field. C. a man who can see the forest rather than the trees. D. a man whose concern is mainly with, technical or professional matters. 13. The administrator is____. A. a "trained" man who is more a specialist than a generalist. B. a man who sees the trees as well as the forest. C. a man who is very strong in the humanities. D. a man who is an "educated" specialist. 14. During your training period, it is important____. A. to try to be a generalist. B. to choose a profitable job. C. to find an organization which fits you. D. to decide whether you are fit to be a. specialist or a generalist. 15. A man’s first job____. A. is never the right job for him. B. should not be regarded as his final job. C. should not be changed or people will be考博信息网e suspicious of his ability to hold any job. D. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job. Part Ⅳ Translation (20’) Directions: Translate the following two passages from Chinese into English and from English into Chinese respectively. Section A Translate the following into English. (10’) 离子型稀土矿浸取工艺对资源、环境影响摘 要：离子型稀土矿(ion-adsorption rare earth)采用堆浸(heap leaching)和原地浸矿(in-situ leaching)等生产工艺，均会造成一定的环境破坏和资源损失。为了更好比较堆浸和原地浸矿工艺造成的资源环境损失差异，基于堆浸和原地浸矿生产工艺原理，将离子型稀土矿采选造成的资源损失分为暂时性损失和永久性损失，把环境破坏分为显性破坏(explicit damage)（如植被破坏、水土流失等）和隐性破坏(implicit damage)（如地下水污染），将资源损失和环境破坏按可控程度（controllability）进行分类；在此基础上对堆浸和原地浸矿生产工艺造成的资源与环境影响进行综合比较；最后，提出相关建议。关键词：离子型稀土；堆浸；原地浸矿；资源损失；环境破坏 Section B Translate the following passage into Chinese. (10’) There is a growing problem of what to do with electronic waste such as old televisions, 考博信息网puters, radios, cellular telephones and other electronic equipment. Electronic trash, known as e-waste, is piling up faster than ever in American homes and businesses. People do not know what to do with old televisions or 考博信息网puters so they throw them in the trash. National Solid Wastes Management Association state programs director Chaz Miller says the large amount of electronic waste Americans generate is not unexpected. "We have so many electronic products that we use," said Miller. "They are being far more widely distributed throughout the population of the country and they tend to have relatively short life spans. Cell phones that last two or three years, 考博信息网puters that last maybe two or three years before they get replaced." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates more than 400 million consumer electronic items are dumped each year, and there is a push by more states to ban the waste from landfills and create recycling programs. Part V. Writing (25’) Directions: For this part, you are to write a 考博信息网position of no less than 300 words on In考博信息网e Sources between Chinese and American Students. Study the following table carefully and your 考博信息网position must be based on the information given in the table. Write three paragraphs to: 1.Describe the differences of the in考博信息网e sources between Chinese and American students. 2. Analyze possible reasons for these differences. 3. Predicate future tendency.
