完形填空7

One summer night, on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn’t face my hot apartment.

Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the opening between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle every time she learned over to talk to him, or he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such affection in a public place?

I thought the movie would be good for my English, but as it turned out, it was an Italian move. After about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and concentrate on my popcorn (爆玉米花). I’ve never understood why they give you so much popcorn! It tasted pretty good, still. After a while I heard no more of the romantic-sounding Italians. I just heard the sound of the popcorn crunching (咀嚼) between my teeth. My thought stated to wander. I remembered when I was is South Korea (韩国), I used to watch Kojak on TV frequently. He spoke perfect Korean—I was really amazed. He seemed like a good friend to me, until I saw him again in New York speaking perfect English instead of perfect Korean. He didn’t even have a Korean accent and I felt like I had been betrayed.

When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. Once we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very quiet and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to speaking in a difficult language. Mother tried to say something in English but it came out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We’ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

1.  It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education. When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools. 2.

2.  There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music and sports.

3.  However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people.

4.  On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.

5.  When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools, I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

6.  Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden, it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.

第二篇：四级学习计划15

-Really? What does that involve?

-Well, I’m in charge of all the admissions of post graduate students in the university. -Only post graduates?

-Yes, post graduates only. I have nothing at all to do with undergraduates.

-Do you find that you get a particular...sort of different national groups? I mean you get larger numbers from Latin America or…

-Yes, well, of all the students enrolled last year, nearly half were from overseas. They were from the Afican countries, the far east, the middle east and Latin America.

-Ehm, but have you been doing just that for the last 10 years or have you done other things?

-Well, I’ve been doing the same job, ehm, before that I was a secretary of the medical school at Birmingham, and further back I worked in the local government. -Oh, I see.

-So I’ve done different types of things.

-Yes, indeed. How do you imagine your job might develop in the future? Can you imagine shifting into a different kind of responsibility or doing something…?

-Oh, yeah, from October 1st I’ll be doing an entirely different job. There is going to be more committee work. I mean, more policy work, and less dealing with students unfortunately. I’ll miss my contact with students.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What is the woman’s present position?

24. What do we learn about the post graduates enrolled last year in the woman’s university?

25. What will the woman’s new job be like?

Section A Compound Dictation

Students’ pressure sometimes comes from their parents. Most parents are

well-meaning, but some of them aren’t very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in adjusting to college. And a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children’s difficulties. For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don’t realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change. Accustomed to seeing As and Bs on high school report cards, they may be upset when their children’s first semester college grades are below that level. At their kindest, they may gently enquire why John or Mary isn’t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten to take their children out of college or cut off funds. Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves and think it only right and natural that they determine what their

children do with their lives. In their involvement and identification with their children, they forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop in his or her own way. They forget that their children, who are now young adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are.

Short Passages

Passage 1

My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when her parents immigrated to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago, where my grandfather worked making ice-cream. Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went on to secretarial school and finally worked as an executive secretary for a rare wood company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair wind-blown, her gaze reaching towards the horizon.

My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy. Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a permanent limp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break. He had little formal schooling. His English was self-taught. Yet he eventually built a small

successful whole-sale candy business. Dad was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him. After she married, my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family.

In 1950, with three small children, Dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles from Chicago. He worked the land and commuted to the city to run his business. Mama said good-bye to her parents and friends and traded her busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But she never complained.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard:

26: What does the speaker tell us about his mother’s early childhood?

27: What do we learn about the speaker’s father?

28: What does the speaker say about his mother?

Passage 2

During a 1995 roof collapse, a fire fighter named Donald Herbert was left brain damaged. For 10 years he was unable to speak. Then one Saturday morning, he did something that shocked his family and doctors – he started speaking. “I want to talk to my wife,” Donald Herbert said out of the blue. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than 7 years rose to get Linda Herbert on the telephone. “It was the first of many conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his family and friends during the 14 hour stretch.” Herbert’s uncle Simon Manka said. “How long have I been away?” Herbert asked. “We told him almost 10 years.” The uncle said. He thought it was only three months.

Herbert was fighting a house fire Dec. 29, 1995, when the roof collapsed burying him underneath. After going without air for several minutes, Herbert was unconscious for two and a half months and has undergone therapy ever since.

News accounts in the days and years after his injury, described Herbert as blind and with little, if any, memory. A video shows him receiving physical therapy, but apparently unable to communicate and with little awareness of his surroundings. Manka declined to discuss his nephew’s current condition or whether the apparent progress was continuing. “The family was seeking privacy while doctors evaluated

Herbert,” he said. As word of Herbert’s progress spread, visitors streamed into the nursing home. “He is resting comfortably,” the uncle told them.

Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29: What happened to Herbert 10 years ago?

30: What surprised Donald Herbert’s family and doctors one Saturday? 31: How long did Herbert remain unconscious?

32: How did Herbert’s family react to the public attention?

考试

Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

1)大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩，

2)考生可能带来的副作用，

3)我对考试的看法。

1.In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.

2.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous. To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.

3.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations. In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.

4. As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.

5.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.

6.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
