II. Cloze Test (10 points, 1 point for each item)
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them. A child rarely dislikes food 11 it is badly cooked .
The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 12 served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother 13 vegetables in the child’s hearing he is 14 to copy this procedure. Take it 15 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 16 dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as 17 as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not 18 him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food 19 he can hurry back to his toys.

III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Can your cellular phone really give you cancer? The best answer science can offer so far is maybe.
Researchers have discovered that cellular--phone radiation(辐射) can cause subtle, short-term biological effects in humans-including changes in brainwave patterns during sleep—but their full significance remains to be determined. Given that uncertainty and the fact that everyone from the National Cancer Institute to the World Health Organization is investigating cellular—phone radiation, many experts caution that it is far too early to give the phones a clean bill of health.
Cellular phones work by transmitting radio waves to base stations that connect calls into a network. The waves are a form of non-ionizing(非离子的) radiation-unlike, say, X rays, which have the power to change the atoms in human cells to potentially hazardous ions. Non—ionizing radiation can also be dangerous. At the high levels found in radar or inside microwave ovens(微波炉), it can heat and severely damage human beings. The question for scientists is whether the low—energy (and low-heat) signals from cellular phones can do harm.
Cancer studies have been inconclusive since 1993,when a Florida man brought an unsuccessful charge that blamed his wife’s fatal brain tumor(肿瘤) on her use of a cellular phone. In a frequently quoted 1997 report, Australian researchers exposed mice to two daily 30-min. amount of cellular-phone radiation for up to 18 months. The mice developed tumors at twice the rate of animals that were radiation-free. But the results haven’t been widely quoted, and some scientists question their relevance. For now m the best advice science can offer about cellular phones is handle with care.
21. According to the passage, science cannot offer us a definite connection between ________.
[A] cellular-phone radiation and changes in brainwave patterns
[B] X rays and the atoms in human cells
[C] the use of cellular phones and cancer
[D] mice exposed to cellular-phone radiation and the development of tumors
22. “A clean bill of health” in the first paragraph means ________.
[A] the money paid for a treatment in a hospital
[B] a clean way of improving health
[C] the health that is improved through good habits
[D] a document of health stating the absence of disease
23. According to the passage, radio waves are different from X rays in that ________.
[A] the former are more dangerous
[B] the former are a form of non-ionizing radiation
[C] the latter are mainly used in hospitals
[D] the latter are low-energy and low-heat signals
24. The word “inconclusive” in the last paragraph means ________
[A] disapproved by the public
[B] not generally understood
[C] misleading people to a conclusion
[D] not leading to a definite result
25. According to the passage, it is advised that cell phones ________.
[A] be done away with
[B] be handled cautiously
[C] be researched scientifically
[D] be associated with cancer
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Everyone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.
The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their cars.
Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurant serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.
Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.
Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.
Is the food at fast-food restaurants food for you？ In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.
One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.
26. In a fast-food restaurant, people ________.
[A] stand up to eat [B] are served at table

[C] meat and salt [D] beef and fish
28. Fast-food restaurants are popular because ________.
[A] people are free to order their food
[B] the quality of the food is good
[C] it is cheaper and faster to have meals there
[D] people can find fast food restaurants everywhere
29. Which of the following sentences is not correct?
[A] The service is fast and the food is cheap in fast-food restaurants.
[B] More people like eating fast food.
[C] People can find the same food in all the restaurants.

[B] Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States.
[C] Some people can eat fast food in parks.
[D] Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-food restaurants.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The word “generosity” has been devalued（贬值） somewhat recently. A millionaire man may give his friend a house in the beautiful suburb（市郊）; A rich man could fly halfway round the world to meet his friends for his birthday party. In this case, generosity is more an action of showing off than a sincere action of giving. And such showing off lacks the most important quality of real generosity: to offer kindness and love without expecting anything in return.
Real generosity, when you meet it is simply so pleasant. And as a quality, it belongs equally to the rich and the poor. A traveler in a faraway place felt it when he shared bread, room, even bed with a farmer’s family, whose general principle is “A guest in the house is God in the house”.
Another story is about a university student from Oxford. He did something out of his natural sense of generosity when he learned that his roommate couldn’t afford an impossibly expensive textbook, a book which was very rare in second-hand shops. Knowing that his roommate was far too proud to accept such a book as present from him, the rich student bought a new copy for 35 pounds at Blackwell’s bookshop. He dirtied it up a bit and tore off the paper cover, made a few dog-ears（卷页） and pencil marks against what he thought might be important parts, and wrote an invented name in the front. He even remembered to age the ink by putting it over fire. Then he went back, looking extremely proud of himself and claiming to have got the book in a second-hand bookshop. “Beaten them down to two pounds!” To make his friends believe him, he showed a receipt（收据）for the money by buying himself another book at the same place. Ten years later, the poorer student got to know the truth. Actually he was suspicious at the very beginning, though he didn’t force his richer friend to tell the truth. He appreciated the invaluable generosity as well as the valuable book.
Real generosity lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness, not its price or wrapping of the gift. It is one of the things which make us human and should be honored more than we do now.
31. A millionaire gives his friend a beautiful house, which is considered as ________ by the author.
[A] a sincere action of giving
[B] an action of showing off
[C] a good example of generosity
[D] a quality of being kind to others
32. Which of the following is true of real generosity?
[A] It offers help expecting something in return.
[B] It’s a quality belonging only to the rich.
[C] It expresses a sort of simple love to human beings.
[D] It lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness and kindness.
33. The Oxford student’s generosity to his roommate is shown in ________.
[A] his efforts to look for the textbook in all the second-hand bookshops
[B] his wisdom to beat the price of the book down to two pounds
[C] his ability to make the new book look old and cheap
[D] his consideration of offering the book without hurting his roommate’s self-respect
34. The poorer student didn’t force his rich friend to tell the truth because ________.
[A] he was too proud to know the fact
[B] he appreciated his friend’s thoughtfulness
[C] he was suspicious of the rich student’s intention
[D] he didn’t want to know the truth
35. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
[A] Real generosity is invaluable.
[B] A guest in the house is God in the house.
[C] The word “generosity” has been devalued.
[D] A gift can’t be judged by its price or wrapping.

VII. Translate the following passage into Chinese (15 points)
When you are introduced to foreign friends, you should greet them with “How do you do ?”while shaking hands with them for a few seconds. The next thing is, perhaps, the presenting of a business card, which is also called a name card. You should accept the card with a smile and a quick browse, and at the same time, offer yours.
Nowadays, business cards have become more and more popular in an introduction. They contain not only the bearer’s name, profession and title, but also the address, telephone number, postal code, e-mail address and some other useful information and personal data. To a foreign friend, we should remember to present a card either with an English version or written in English, because most English speakers don’t have competent(能力) in reading Chinese. In most cases, a Chinese name is hard to pronounce for foreign friends. So you should make it as simple as possible in the introduction. Probably, you may give them your family name only. They will feel very pleased to pronounce your name correctly. After this short greeting ritual(仪式), most foreigners expect to move on quickly to the business. So you can shift to the business topic naturally.

当你被介绍给外国朋友的时候，你应该跟他们说“你好”，同时与他们握握手。下一步也许就是互赠名片了。你应该面带微笑接受名片，并迅速看一眼，与此同时回赠你自己的名片。
时下，在相互介绍认识时互换名片已经变得越来越流行，名片上不但印有名字、职业和头衔，而且印有住址、电话号码、邮政编码、电子邮箱号和其他一些有用的信息和个人情况。因为讲英语的外国人都不会中文，所以我们别忘了给他们的名片应是有英文翻译的或直接用英文印制的。在大部分情况下，外国朋友很难读准中国名字的发音，因此作介绍时你应该尽可能的简单明了。或许，你可以只介绍你的姓。能正确读出你的名字会使他们觉得非常高兴。在这种短暂的见面仪式结束后，大多数外国人都希望能很快进入正题。这样你就可以自然的转入业务话题上去了。
