　　II Grammar. (16%)

　　Directions: Read the following two passages. Fill in each blank with one proper word or the proper form of the given word to make the passage coherent. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.

　　(A)

　　As a boy，Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor

　　25

　　a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor

　　26

　　he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles, but was actually trying

　　27

　　(listen) to the conversations

　　28

　　(take place) between the doctor and his patients in the next room.

　　During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生）.“That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and

　　29

　　the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He

　　30

　　(prove) his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus, while he was able to tell them what to do, he could feel he was serving them. After the war, he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area,

　　31

　　who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on

　　32

　　(work) working as a life –saver.

　　(B)

　　An American novelist Jonathan Franzen tells readers that he appreciated real, printed newspapers more “as the Internet rose to power, disseminating information that could be trusted as little as it cost to read it.”

　　That’s

　　33

　　turn of phrase that we could apply to the discussion of Internet rumors(谣言)and their impact: this kind of information can

　　34

　　(trust) as little as it costs to read it. That is, we can’t trust it at all. Franzen may be overstating the case to make a point. There are, after all, plenty of ways that the Internet has provided access to information that is trustworthy and accurate, not to mention helpful. The problem is

　　35

　　the Internet also has flooded our lives with less accurate and less trustworthy material.

　　“Digital literacy”is the name for this 21st century skill, and it is becoming as fundamentally important as literacy itself. So

　　36

　　do we tell the real from the false?

　　Like anything, it takes practice at asking questions and, above all, paying attention to details

　　37

　　(give) already. Who is the author? Do you know a real name or just a username(用户名)?Why

　　38

　　you trust this person? Does he or she provide some credentials (证明)? There are big differences in the domains, and it is important to understand

　　39

　　.

　　It was

　　40

　　(easy) to tell a trustworthy source in the days before the Internet. Then, we all knew which newspapers had the highest standards and which ones were more for sensation and entertainment than for real news and commentary.

　　(A)

　　Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

　　I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

　　I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holiday meaningful.

　　Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership --- a shop selling cars --- was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the show room.

　　“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

　　“Thank you”--- two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.

　　Researchers in London and Bristol have found that men are particularly likely to yield to depression if their partners are also depressed.

　　The finding highlights the importance of paying attention to the partners of depressed mothers, as young children themselves are vulnerable (容易受伤的) to social problems if both parents are depressed.

　　Researchers in London and at the University of Bristol launched their study to investigate?whether family structure affects the likelihood of depression in men around the time their child is?born. They looked at men from traditional families, men with children from a previous relationship, men whose partners had children by a former partner, and men who were not living with their partners.

　　?All 7,108 participants filled out a questionnaire on depression, and answered questions about their age, education level and employment status. Details about the quality of their relationships with their partners, networks of friends and previous life events were also recorded.

　　??About 3.5 percent of the men and 13 percent of their partners suffered depression around the time their child was born. While men in stepfamilies or who were not living with their partners were twice as likely to get depressed as those in traditional families, this could be explained by other factors that are more common in nontraditional families, such as poor education and relationship conflicts.

　　Even allowing for all these factors, however, the partners of women who were suffering from prenatal (围产期的) depression were significantly more likely to become depressed themselves, the researchers report in an American journal. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners. For the healthy women, the figure was only 2.6 percent.

　　Previous research suggests that families with two depressed parents may need special attention. A researcher in Atlanta has found that primary school children with two troubled parents have difficulty relating to their peers. “It’s extremely important to look at the whole family.” she says.

　　73. What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs of this passage?

　　A. Men often beat their children.

　　B. Depressed women often have depressed partners.

　　C. All young children are vulnerable to social problems.

　　D. Women with children often have depressed partners.

　　74. Why did researchers in London and Bristol carry out such an investigation?

　　A. To see what kind of family environment is ideal for children to grow up in.

　　B. To study whether family structure affects depression in men when their child is born.

　　C. To investigate why so many men get depressed when a child is born.

　　D. To see whether it is true that behind every depressed man there is a depressed woman.

　　75.

　　What kind of men is least likely to get depressed when their child was born?

　　A. Men in stepfamilies.

　　B. Men who were not living with their partners.

　　C. Men in traditional families.

　　D. Men in nontraditional families.

　　76.

　　According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A. Ten percent of women who were depressed had depressed partners.

　　B. 2.6 percent of healthy women were depressed.

　　C. Special attention should be paid to families in which both the father and the mother were depressed.

　　D. Primary school children whose parents were both depressed couldn’t get along well with?their peers.

　　Section C (8%)

　　Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

　　Bullying (欺负) can take a variety of forms, from the verbal being taunted or called hurtful names to the physical being kicked or shoved, as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded (排除)from social groups. A survey I conducted with Irene Whitney found that in British primary schools up to a quarter of pupils reported experience of bullying, in which about one in ten cases was persistent(执意的). There was less bullying in secondary schools, with about one in twenty-five suffering persistent bullying, but these cases may be particularly recalcitrant.

　　Bullying is clearly unpleasant, and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and depressed. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide, though this is thankfully rare. Victimized pupils are more likely to experience difficulties with interpersonal relationships as adults, while children who persistently bully are more likely to grow up to be physically violent, and convicted of anti-social offences.

　　Until recently, little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. “There is no bullying at this school” has been a common refrain, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately more schools are now saying: “There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with it.”

　　(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN ELEVEN WORDS)

　　77. According to the first paragraph, the fact that _________________ belongs to an indirect form of bullying.

　　78. The survey the author conducted indicates that as students grow older, ______________.

　　79. Bullying is likely to cause ________________ feelings among victimized children.

　　80. One possible reason why schools denied the problem of bullying was ______________.

　　IV. Translation（15%）

　　Directions: Translate the following sentences into English. You are required to use the word given in the bracket for each respective sentence.

　　V. Fill in the blanks with the proper forms of given words. （5）

　　87. I hadn’t expected Martin to ____________ (apology) to me for what he had done, but I had hoped that he would call me.
