[主观题]

Imagine you have two candidates for a job. Their CVs are equally good, and they both give

good interview. You cannot help noticing, though, that one is pug-ugly and the other is handsome. Are you swayed by their appearance？

If you were swayed by someone's looks, would that be wrong？ In the past, people often equated beauty with virtue and ugliness with vice.

Even now, the expression "as ugly as sin" has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", to counter it. Most beholders agree what is beautiful — and modern biology suggests there is a good reason for that agreement. Biology also suggests that beauty may, indeed, be a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one, and certainly no substitute for an in-depth investigation. But, nevertheless, an instinctive one, and one that is bound to contribute to the advantage of the physically well endowed.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS

Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文：Interviewer: How many different countries do you think you have been to？

Man: Once I made a count of how many countries I'd hitchhiked through and it came to twenty eight. So if you add on a few more for those where I haven't hitched, I imagine it comes to about forty by now.

Interviewer: About forty! And are there any of these that you feel you really would like to go back to？

Man: Two that I could actually live in I think. One would be the west coast of Canada because I think that had everything to offer. It was rich culturally, it was very bright, it had a very pleasant climate, slightly improved on Britain. It had the Rocky Mountains behind, loads of coastline, um, a lot going an both day and night, a large university and it was just near America if you felt like crossing the border. The other place I liked, but more for a holiday, was Sardinia, which I found was one of the quietest, most unspoiled parts of Europe that I have seen.

What is the possible relationship between the two speakers？

A．They are husband and wife

B．They are teacher and student

C．They are interviewer and interviewee

D．They are father and daughter

SECTION B PASSAGES

Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.

听力原文： The limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. It is easy to show that intelligence is, to some extent, something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depend on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring and fixed. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environments as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

In the development of one's intelligence, environment plays ______.

A．a less important role

B．an equally important role

C．an insignificant role

D．the least significant role

第4题

Sir, you ask me what I think of the expedition to China. You must feel that it was praisew

orthy, well done. You are very polite, putting a high premium upon my feelings. In your opinion, the expedition, performed under the joint banner of Queen Elizabeth and Emperor Napoleon, was nothing short of a British-French glory. Therefore, you would like to know to what extent I appreciate this glory.

Since you ask, I will answer as follows:

In a corner of the world there existed a man-made miracle the Winter Palace. Art has two sources., one, an ideal, whence has come European art; two, fancy, whence has issued Oriental art. The Winter Palace belongs to the art of fancy. The Winter Palace, indeed, was the crystallisation of all the art that an almost superman race could have fancied. The Winter Palace was a huge-scale prototype of fancy if fancy can have a prototype. If only you can imagine an ineffable architectural structure, like a palace in the moon, a fairyland, that is the Winter Palace. If you can imagine a treasure-island, a pool of human perceptive power, expressed in the concrete form. of palaces and temples, that is the Winter Palace. It took two generations of manpower to create the Winter Palace, which subsequently went through improvement and perfection over several centuries. Great artists, poets, philosophers-they all knew about the Winter Palace. Many people at different times compared the Winter Palace to the Parthenon, the. Pyramids, the Arena, and the Notre Dame. If they could not see the Winter Palace with their own eyes, they could dream about it-as if in the gloaming they saw a breath taking masterpiece of art as they had never known before-as if there above the horizon of European civilization was towering the silhouette of Asian civilization.

Now, the miracle is no morel One day, two pirates broke into it. One of them went plundering; the other set every building and everything in it all ablaze! Judging by what they did, we know that the victors could degenerate into robbers. The two of them fell to dividing between themselves the spoils. What meritorious feats they had done! What a heaven-sent bonanza! One stuffed his pockets full to over followings the other filled in his trunk chockfull Theni hand in hand they made off, guffawing gloatingly. This episode reflects the history of the two brigands.

Standing before the tribunal of history is one brigand named France and the other named Great Britain. Against both I protest. Incidentally, I must thank you for giving me the opportunity to make this accusation. The rulers commit crimes but the ruled do not; the government becomes a robber, but the people will never.

France has gained a large portion of the spoils. Now, quite naively, she thinks herself the rightful owner of the property, and she is displaying the riches of the Winter Palace! I can only hope that there will come one day when France will disburden herself of the heavy load on her conscience and cleanse herself of the crime by returning to China all the spoils taken from the Winter Palace.

Sir, such is my eulogy of the expedition to China.

The tone of the passage is______.

A．humorous

B．pitiful

C．sarcastic

D．eulogistic

If you have never seen a power plant, you might find it hard to imagine how enormously com

plex the equipment is or how much heat is generated by the boilers or how much coal it takes to fuel the furnaces for just one day.

During the course of a day, the boilers at one of our power plants, Morgantown, for example, can turn 24 million gallons of water into steam. That generating plant alone uses 9,900 tons of coal in its furnaces in just one day. Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO) uses so much coal that we have purchased two 80-car unit trains to facilitate the delivery process. And Morgantown alone can produce over 25 million kilowatthours of electricity in a single day's operation.

Electricity is produced by spinning large magnets inside a coil of wire within the generator. The faster we spin the magnets, the higher will be the voltage of the electricity produced. Electricity leaves a PEPCO generator at between 13,800 and 24,000 volts.

The next step in the process occurs when electricity passes through a transformer where the voltage is stepped up to continue on its journey. A transmission wire is like a small diameter pipe. Stepping up the voltage is like increasing water pressure, thus speeding the flow of energy through the system.

Directions: You will hear four dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.

听力原文：Speaker: A couple of months ago, I went to a department store to buy a few things for the house. I needed a set of curtains for the living room, two table lamps, a rug and several cushions. I asked them to deliver the things as soon as possible, but they said they were unable to send them out until 20 days later. After about 3 weeks, I received only the curtains and table lamps. I was a little disappointed when I didn't receive all the items I had bought. But nevertheless, I was eager to see what the curtains and lamps looked like. I first opened the package with the curtains. I had bought a lovely light blue, and instead they had sent me a horrible dark purple. Well, you can just imagine how angry I was. Then I opened the boxes with the lamps. They were exactly what I'd ordered. But one of the lamp shapes was damaged. The next I did was to telephone them to complain. They promised to come and pick them up immediately and also to replace them with the correct order. It has been two weeks since my complaint. They have neither picked up the wrong items nor sent me the rest of my order.

When did the woman want the store to deliver the items？

A．In about 20 years.

B．Within a week.

C．In a couple of weeks.

D．As early as possible.

听力原文：M: Have you ever visited a redwood forest？

W: Redwood？ No, I've never seen a redwood tree, is it red？

M: Yes, its bark is kind of red. I recently had a chance to go to the Mill National Park, north of San Francisco. You can't imagine how big they are.

W: Yeah, how big？

M: The coast redwoods are the tallest living things. Some are more than three hundred and fifty feet high. But none of the trees at Mill is that high. You have to go further north in California to see the tallest trees.

W: You said that Mill is near San Francisco？ I used to think it must be quite a tourist attraction.

M: Yes, it's less than an hour's drive away, so it's easy to get to.

W: I've heard that many redwood trees are thousands of years old. Are the ones in Mill that old？

M: The oldest documented age for a coast redwood is more than two thousand years. The trees at Mill are 400 to 800 years old.

W: Why have they survived so long？

M: They have remarkable resistance to forest fires. Their tough, thick bark protects the trees during a fire. The coast redwoods also like a damp, foggy climate.

W: Then since Mill is near foggy San Francisco, it must be ideal for the trees' survival.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： If I had to name a single great invention of mankind, I would say language. There has been no greater invention, because if there were no language, most of man's inventions would not have been made. Though there are other means of communications like signals in war, signs made with hands, and facial expressions, they are not as powerful as language. The communication possible through these means is limited. Language made it possible for man to share his thoughts, his questions and his knowledge with his fellow beings. Knowledge gained by one generation could become the basis of inventions of the next generation only because of language. The written word and the printed word were the two next greatest inventions. Can you imagine our world with everything else but without printed pages？ The modern world functions on the strength of the printed word. There would be no universities, no business contracts, no political treaties, and no newspapers, if we did not have the printed word.

(27)

A．Language was the first invention of mankind.

B．There was no greater invention than language.

C．Most of man's inventions depended on language.

D．There were so many languages in the world.
