Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:?
American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose, they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best?known American Indian warrior of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George Ⅲ. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Creeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman” of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the white settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.
?21.What is the main point the author makes in the passage?
?A.Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.
?B.At the time of the Revolution the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had
little power.
?C.Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution, American Indians lost their land.
?D.The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian
women.
?22.The word “it” in line 5 refers to ____.

?C.dispute D.independence
?23.How did Ward gain her position of authority?
?A.By bravery in battle.
B.By marriage to a chief.
?C.By joining the confederacy.
D.By being born into a powerful family.
?24.To which tribe did Nancy Ward belong?

?D.Each went to England after the American Revolution.
?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.?
Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire
life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white—a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.
?In their determination to read Dickinson’s life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life—her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce’s 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850’s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self?sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stern patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of “true womanhood”.
?26.What’s the author’s main purpose in the passage?
?A.To interpret Emily Dickinson’s eccentric behavior.
?B.To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.
?C.To discuss Emily Dickinson’s failed love affair.
?D.To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson’s time.
?27.Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson’s eccentricities?
?A.Refusing to eat. B.Wearing only white.
?C.Avoiding visitors. D.Staying in her room.
?28.According to the passage, biographers of Emily Dickinson have traditionally ____.
?A.criticized most of her poems
?B.ignored her innocence and emotional fragility
?C.seen her life in romantic terms
?D.blaming her parents for restricting her activities
?29.The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson’s seclusion to ____.
?A.physical illness B.a failed love affair
?C.religious fervor D.her dislike of people
?30.It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by ____.
?A.strong Puritan beliefs
?B.equality of men and women
?C.the encouragement of nonconformity
?D.the appreciation of poetic creativity
?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.?
The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad executives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870’s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring and reheating iron ore.
?Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace would burn out the impurities that made the iron brittle. As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.
Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120?long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.
?Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel?manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the GREatest steel city of all.
?Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyroc
keted from seventy?seven thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.
31.According to the passage, the railroad industry preferred steel to iron because steel was ____.
?A.cheaper and more plentiful
?B.lighter and easier to mold
?C.cleaner and easier to mine
?D.stronger and more durable
?32.According to the passage, how did Bessemer method make the mass production of steel possible?
?A.It directed air at melted iron in a furnace, removing all impurities.
?B.It slowly heated iron ore then stirred it and heated it again.
?C.It changed iron ore into iron which was a substitute for steel.
?D.It could quickly find deposits of iron ore under the ground.
?33.According to the passage, where were large deposits of iron uncovered?
?A.In Pittsburgh. ?B.In the Mesabi Range.
?C.Near Lake Michigan.?D.Near Lake Erie.
?34.The words “Barges and steamers” could best be replaced by which of the following?
?A.Trains.B.Planes.?C.Boats.?D.Trucks.
?35.It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel
caused ____.
?A.a decline in the railroad industry
?B.a revolution in the industrial world
?C.an increase in the price of steel
?D.a feeling of discontent among steel workers
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods. Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses—all of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability.
?Descripitive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections of data. These data may be either quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grand level—variables that are characterized by an underlying continuum—or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible from the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass of data.
?Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class of problems that present GREat difficulties for the unaided human mind. This
general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make prediction using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes
to determine of the proportion of children in a large school system who come to school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary
and inefficient to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children. Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of the population.
?36.With what is the passage mainly concerned?
?A.The drawbacks of descriptive and inferential statistics.
?B.Applications of inferential statistics.
?C.The development and use of statistics.
?D.How to use descriptive statistics.
?37.Why does the author mention the “mother” and “father” in the first
paragraph?
?A.To point out that parents can teach their children statistics.
?B.To introduce inferential statistics.
?C.To explain that there are different kinds of variables.
?D.To present the background of statistics in a humorous and understandable way.
?38.Which of the following is NOT given as an example of qualitative variable?
?A.Gender. B.Height.
?C.College major. D.Type of personality.
?39.Which of the following statements about descriptive statistics is best
supported by the passage?
?A.It simplifies unwieldy masses of data.
?B.It leads to increased variability.
?C.It solves all numerical problems.
?D.It changes qualitative variables to quantitative variables.
?40.According to the passage which is the purpose of examining a sample of
a population?
?A.To compare different groups.
?B.To predict characteristics of the entire population.
?C.To consider all the quantitative variables.
?D.To tabulate collections of data.

Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)?
Directions:
In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).?
Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. The human auditory(听觉的) range is limited to begin with: if we could hear sounds lower than 20 vibrations per second, we would be driven mad by the rumblings and creakings of our muscles, intestines and heartbeats; every step we take would sound like an explosion. But even with our auditory range we select, focus, pay attention to a few sounds and blot out the rest. We are so assaulted(困扰) by sound that we continually “turn off”. But in the process we shut out the glorious symphony(交响乐) of sound in which the living world is bathed.
?The sound?tormented city dweller who habitually “turns off his audio” loses a dimension of social reality. Some people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded room and from the sounds encountered know immediately the mood, pace and direction of the group assembled. Everything becomes more real when heard as well as seen. It is, in fact, quite hard really to know a person by sight alone, without hearing his voice. And it is not just the sound of the voice that informs. Even the rhythm of footsteps reveals age and variations of mood—delight, depression, anger, joy.
Hearing can also soothe and comfort. The snapping of logs in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening—all are savored sounds that make us feel at home. In a well?loved home, every chair produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a different click, groan or squeak. The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds. Every place, every event has a sound dimension.
?The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man if he better understands its worth and how it works. Most people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be pushed by cultivation. At a friend’s house recently, my wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after another, onto the floor. “Three quarters, two dimes, a nickels and three pennies,” said our host as he came in from the next room. And as an after thought: “One of the quarters is silver.” He was right, down to the last penny.
?“How did you do it?” we asked. “Try it yourself.” he said. We did, and with a little practice we found it easy.
?Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound. When we are lost in thought,
we involuntarily drum with our fingers or tap with a pencil—a reminder that we
are still surrounded by a world outside ourselves. Just cutting down reflected
sound can produce some odd results. The nearest thing on earth to the silence of
outer space, for example, is the “anechoic chamber” at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Burray Hills, N.J., which is lined with material that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound. Men who have remained in the room for more than an hour report that they feel nervous and out of touch with reality.
Questions:
?S1.According to Paragraph One. Why do we blot out the sounds we don’t want to hear?
_____________________
_____________________
?S2.The writer believes that the rhythm of our footsteps changes as______________________________________.
?S3.How many different kinds of sounds are mentioned in Paragraph 3?

?S4.What’s the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5?

?S5.The whole passage tells us that by ignoring most of the sound around u
s we miss much that could give us ______________________________.

?【试题分析】 此题考数字计算。
?【关键词语】 about 150; only a third of them
?【详细解答】 此题的问题是：“How many students are good at basketball?”根据经
验，四级考试中出现的数字，一般需经过一定运算才得出所需要的答案。我们听到与数字有
关的只有二个词，“150”和“a third”，四个选项中只有C反映了两者的关系，故C为正确
答案。
?2.答案D。
?【试题分析】 从选项中可判断问题是针对女士而言的，而且与她的工作有关。注意D项中的accountancy一词。
?【关键词语】 accoutancy; wasn’t
?【详细解答】 女士的回答中的确表示“accountancy wasn’t what I want to do”，因
此换工作的原因不是不喜欢工作或公司，而是不喜欢所从事的职业。accountancy若对有些
学生来说是生词的话，可借用X来代替，不会影响听力理解。
?3.答案B。
?【试题分析】 此题从选项中可推断，所提的问题可以是“where did this conversation
take place?”
?【关键词语】 6468148; wrong number
?【详细解答】 当表地点的选项中出现“on the telephone”时，应特别注意。电话中
双方谈论的问题可能涉及许多地点，但对话是在电话中发生的，有明显的电话用语的运用。当听到“Is this 6468148?”时，第一反应是此乃电话用语。当听到“You must have a wrong number.”，就应肯定B为正确答案。
?4.答案B。
?【试题分析】 此题是有关价钱或费用的计算问题，听清提问很关键。
?【关键词语】 50 cents an hour; 4 hours
?【详细解答】 此题首先要辨明“fifty”和“fifteen”，再根据所提的问题“How much does the man pay for four hours…?”可计算出费用是“每小时50美分×4小时=2美元。
?5.答案C。
?【试题分析】 此题是考有关“What”或“How”的问题。
?【关键词语】 but; difficult; get him to speak
?【详细解答】 此题的提问是“What does the woman imply about Jeff?”考听众的推理
能力。根据“he’ll be glad to come”，可首先排除A，根据“difficult to get him to
speak”表明，Jeff很害羞，不爱说话，因此C为正确选项。
?6.答案C。
?【试题分析】 此题从B、C、D选项中推测对话可与record player或record有关。要注意对话中所发生的事情。
?【关键词语】 amaze; get it to work
?【详细解答】 边看选项边听磁带，可首先断定：对话能与record player有关。因此可排除A、B。根据“amaze”一词，可排除D。因此C为正确答案。
?7.答案A。
?【试题分析】 此为时间辨析题。
?【关键词语】 told
?【详细解答】 此题实际不难，不要主观判断以为听到的时间肯定不会是答案。此题的问
题是：“When was Robert expected to arrive?”“be expected to do”表示“应该做……”。根据所听到的“I told him to arrive by 8:10.”可得出A为正确答案。
?8.答案D。
?【试题分析】 此题从选项中判断，对话可能与restaurant和food有关，但仍要注意选项D，它表明不去餐馆。
?【关键词语】 can’t eat; aches
?【详细解答】 从关键词“can’t”可推测女士根本不想吃东西，更别提下馆子了，因此只剩下D为正确答案了。
?9.答案B。
?【试题分析】 从选项可知对话与自然现象有关，根据关键词便可推导出问题的答案。
?【关键词语】 downpour
?【详细解答】 从downpour可直接推导出谈话的内容是B。
?10.答案D。
?【试题分析】 此题从选项中可推测问题可能是“what”之类的，因此要特别注意对话中
谈及的活动之间的关系。
?【关键词语】 not sure; relax
?【详细解答】 虽然听到A、B两项的内容，但“not sure”否定了其可能性，而“relax”
则进一步肯定A、B不是要进行的活动。至于C更是不可能了。因为“so hot”说明天太热，无人会去在阳光下运动的。因此D为正确选项。
1
?【解题思路】 从试题11—13的选项中可得知文章与thunderstorm(雷雨)有关，且11—12均与数字有关，应特别留意。
?11.答案A。
?【详细解答】 A、B两项均与听到的内容相符，但题目是问“How much energy can be re
leased by a single thunderstorm?”，因此A为正确答案。
?12.答案B。
?【详细解答】 根据所听到的数据只有“fifty thousand”便可排除其它选项直接选B。
?13.答案C。
?【详细解答】 此题虽然内容多，但几乎能听到和选项一样的句子，因此并不难。当听到
“conditions”时，便知道下面听到的才是产生雷暴雨的条件，从而判定C为正确选项。
2
【解题思路】 从试题14—16的选项中，可预测短文内容可能与医生或医院等有关，选项
中出现的rescue, blood bank将有助于短文听力理解。
?14.答案D。
?【试题分析】 此题需要经过稍微的推理才能得出答案。
?【详细解答】 建立血库的目的是为了“store the blood”，因为当时已有许多人因得不
到需要的血液而死亡，因而建立血库的最终目的是为需要血液的人而储备血液，因此D为正
确答案。
?15.答案B。
?【试题分析】 此题为逻辑推理题，从众多因素中找出根本原因。
?【详细解答】 Dr.Drew在事故中受伤被送往最近的医院，但被拒收，在送往第二家医院途中因流血过多而死亡，借此可推知如果第一家医院收下Dr.Drew，情况可能大为改观，因此Dr.drew致死的原因是B。
?16.答案A。
?【试题分析】 此题要求在理解大意和关键词的基础上推理。
?【关键词语】 Negro
?【详细解答】 此题可采用排除法，血库在二战中被建立，而非二战后，因此B项不符合所听到的内容。Dr.Drew负责的是第一家血库，而不是红十字会，因此可排除C。在血库被建立以后，起初并不接受黑人献血，这样D也可被除。而从听到的“We don’t take in Negroes here.”和Dr.Drew被拒收的事实，可断定Dr.Drew为黑人，即有色人种，A为正确答案。??
3
?17.答案B。
?【试题分析】 此题考地点辨析。

?18.答案A。
?【试题分析】 此题为时间辨析题。
?【详细解答】 四个时间，在短文中均被提到，但分别与不同的事情相联系。A项是说Brighton到18世纪才开始受人欢迎。B项和C项之间的这段时间是Royal Pavilion重建时间。而D项所说的时间是乔治四世最后造访Royal Pavilion的时间。此题所提的问题是“When did Brighton first become popular?”，很显然A为正确答案。
?19.答案C。
?【详细解答】 我们又听到两种风格的装饰，一种是Chinese Style，另一种是Indian Style。 Royal Pavilion重建时，采用的是后者，因此C为正确答案。
?20.答案C。
?【试题分析】 此题为根据关键词进行推理的题。
?【关键词语】 bought
?【详细解答】 既然Brighton当地政府买下了Royal Pavilion，当然拥有其所有权，因此C为正确选项。

?68.答案A。
?【参考译文】 母亲希望儿子不要轻率行事。
?【试题分析】 此题为词组辨析题，实质考搭配。

阴影，暗处，指阳光照不到的地方，或光线照射所形成的阴影。在树下乘凉，并不是指在树

Part Ⅳ
短文大意
本文讲述的是声音对人的作用。由于世界充满各种声音，我们经常只是有选择性地聆听。
然而声音却是现实世界的一个表面，它还能使人感到安慰和舒适。而听觉是可以提高的，并
且有事实表明人需要声音。
?S1.【参考答案】Because there’re numerous sounds around us.
【解题技巧】利用原文中的提示，用自己的话重组答案。
?【详细解答】 此题在第一段中能找到答案。即“We are so assaulted by sound that we
continually turn off.”。但回答应具体化，不能照般原话。根据第一段的内容可知“
Our world is filled with sounds.”，因此可把“assaulted by sound”更换成“numerous sounds around us”就更直接，更具体。
?S2.【参考答案】our mood changes。
? 【解题技巧】利用原文现有词重组答案。
【详细解答】 从第二段最后一句可知脚步的节奏能揭示一个人的年纪和情绪的变化。
可见脚步节奏会随着我们心情的变化而变化。解答时借用“mood”这一关键词。由于as后
要接从句，“mood”后的谓语就可用我们熟悉的“change”，而无须用vary, 以避免照搬原
话之嫌。
?S3.【参考答案】six
?【详细解答】 在第三段中提及各种声音，要仔细数清楚，不能遗漏。这六种声音分别是
：logs, brooms, drawer, chair, window, kitchen所发出的声音。
?S4.【参考答案】Practice helps improve our sense of hearing.
? 【解题技巧】 概括段落大意时，尽可能利用原文中现有的词。
?【详细解答】 第四段的第一句说明听觉是可以提高的。下文
接着说可以通过培养来提高
听觉。在后面的例子中，作者证实了这一点。因此这两段的主要意思是可以通过训练，提高听觉。在这两段中分别出现了“the sense of hearing”，“restored”，“cultivation”，“practice”，可以利用这些词来组织答案。
?S5.【参考答案】pleasure and information.
?【详细解答】 此题找不到现存的答案，需要进行总结，从第一段最后一句可知如果我们
对周围的声音充耳不闻，我们便无法享受声音所带来的种种乐趣。从第二段可知声音是社会现实的一个层面，能揭示人的心情等，且倒数第二句：“…voice that informs”说明声音能提供信息。从第三段的第一句可知声音还能给人安慰、是令人愉快的。最后一段则说明没了声音，人们会感到紧张，与现实隔绝。总而言之，声音能提供快乐信息和安慰，安慰可并入愉悦之内，因为令人高兴当然会令人感到安慰。因此推导出答案为Pleasure and information，如果加上comfort也可以。

Sample Writing
Reading Selectively or Extensively?
?Now, it is generally accepted that reading is very important. But when it comes to how to read, there has sprung up a heated discussion as to whether we should read selectively or extensively.
?Those who are in favor of the idea of reading selectively believe that it is not how much one reads but what he reads that really counts. For one thing, living
in an age when much time has to be taken by work and other activities, people are unable to find enough time to read extensively even if they intend to. For an
other, some books are harmful and therefore the choice of books can never be overlooked.
?However, those who insist on reading extensively argue that it is through reading extensively that we obtain most of our knowledge. Now branches of knowledge
diverge into each other rather than isolated from each other. Only when one goes
beyond his own field and read widely can he really make remarkable achievements
in his study. In addition, the most valuable gifts bestowed by reading extensively are experience, broad view and wisdom.
?In my opinion, we should read both selectively and extensively. That is to say
, upon reading, we have to first distinguish good books from indecent ones. But
to the former, there is no such things as too many in reading.
