17. Read the following paragraph and write the topic sentence on the Answer Sheet.

We are on our way to becoming a cashless, checkless society, a trend that began with the credit card. Now some banks are offering “debit cards” instead of credit cards. The costs of purchases made with these cards are deducted from the holder’s bank account instead of being added to a monthly bill. And checking accounts, which are mainly used for paying bills, are going electronic. Now some people can make computer transactions over their pushbutton phones to pay bills by transferring money from their account to the account of whomever they owe. Soon we may be able to conduct most of our business without signing a check or actually seeing the money we earn and spend.

Ⅴ. 划掉与段落内容无关的句子 (10 points, 5 points each)

20. Read the following paragraph and write the TWO irrelevant sentences on the Answer Sheet. Studies reveal that people’s first names can have influence on them. Clearly, Chinese names are quite different. Some names reflect on people in a positive way. For example, one survey showed that American men consider the name Susan to be sexy. And participants in a British study thought Tony to be the name of someone very friendly. However, other names can have a negative impact. In one study, for instance, teachers gave lower grades to essays supposedly written by boys named Hubert and Elmer than to the very same essays when they were credited to boys with more popular names. Another study found that girls with unpopular names did worse on IQ and achievement tests than girls with more appealing names. So IQ and achievement tests are important and necessary in studying names.

Ⅵ. 写信 (40 points)

21. Suppose you (Wang Lin) have finished your study, during which Professor Li helped you a lot both in your study and in your life. Write a letter to thank him. Tell him with examples that you have learned a lot from him in terms of knowledge and positive attitude towards difficulties. And

I. Write an outline. (20 points)

Read the following passage carefully and compose a “sentence outline” for it.

Styles of Dress as Reflections of Social Conditions

Something that becomes very apparent when we study the topic of fashion is that clothes and style are related to so much more than merely an individual’s appearance. For thousands of years, fashion and style have been primary indicators about a person’s social status, sexuality, wealth, individuality, and overall personality attributes.

In the 20th century alone, each decade has been marked by distinctly different manners for dress for both men and women. Our Halloween tradition exemplifies this very clearly with “costumes” such as a 1920’s “flapper girl” and the 1960’s “hippie.” With deeper consideration, however, these differing fashion styles can be viewed as representative of the related social conditions occurring at the time.

As stated by Pasacoe, “The fashion of the 1920’s reflected the Jazz Age perfectly. It was made for fast automobiles and Charlestondance. For the first time in western fashion the knee was socially acceptable.” Although there are many theories regarding what causes fashion to change, the fact that social climate is reflected in styles of dress has a great deal of support. Perhaps the reason why so much change occurred in women’s dress in the early decades of the century is that so many changes occurred regarding women’s roles and fights within that same time frame.

Another decade in which fashion was strongly indicative of the underlying social conditions is the turbulent 1960’s. One of the most noted developments accredited to this decade is the introduction of the miniskirt. Many social historians relate the introduction of the miniskirt to the introduction of the birth control pill. Women became sexually liberated and the “free love” era began. These miniskirts came to symbolize the new liberation for women and the ssocial climate of the decade. As stated in Vogue at the end of the decade, “The length of your skirt is how you feel this moment.”

Towards the end of the 1960's, younger generations were rejecting the establishment and rejecting the idea of high fashion along with it. Students wore long hair, faded denim jeans, and flamboyant patterns. Many wore combat jackets and surplus shirts to anti-war rallies. As Hoeymaker stated, “By the end of the decade, cheap, flamboyant clothes became expensive designer labels. The hippie style became high fashion; in fact ‘anti-fashion’ became the biggest fashion of all.” In this case, clothes became a form of protest.

Overall, there are countless examples of how fashion is influenced by the social climate of the times. Over the past thousands of years, the socially “appropriate” styles of dress for men and women have varied tremendously. Regardless of what exactly constituted“stylish” fashion during any given time period, one thing that remains constant is that fashion has always been a significant aspect of one's life and the time in which they lived.

II. Supply the missing paragraph. (20 points)

The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.

Say No to Blind Optimism

“Is the glass half full or half empty?" This question is often asked to determine whether someone

is an optimist or a pessimist. In my view, even though we need to see the glass half full, we cannot deny the fact that the glass is also half empty. Having a healthy proportion of expectations makes us more realistic. Blind optimism, however, may foster delusions, result in frustrations and spoil relationships.

We all long for accomplishments, but sometimes we overstress the positive outcome of our effort and waste our time with glori ous plans that will never work. We indulge ourselves in delusions and impractical dreams. We fail to see that blind optimism only gives us false promises and clouds our sense of judgment. Ambition without clear directions cannot lead to a victorious experience. We need to understand that wishful thinking and delusions won’t work.

______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Balanced optimism helps us to develop healthy relationships whereas blind optimism destroys them. One of the reasons for short-lived friendships is that we tend to expect too much of our friends. However, they may not always live up to our expectations. This gives rise to disappointment and misunderstanding. Friendships or relationships consequently turn sour. Some relationships may be seriously affected, with all parties experiencing much pain. A more realistic outlook helps us to understand human limitations, show more consideration for others and prevent excess expectations. To sum up, blind optimism does more harm than good and should be discarded. Saying no to blind optimism means we can fly but we fly with the safest bet, with the parachute, so that we don’t drop hard. It proves our ability to accept weaknesses and strive for the best. It gives us second options in our lives and alleviates the pains and disappointments that life imposes on us. This holistic attitude, accepting both positive and negative sides, will make us stronger and more mature. After all, a lotus is a beautiful flower that blossoms out of the mud.

It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in Illinois schools，Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests.At fifth grade，the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others，and still outscoring them on accuracy，comprehension and vocabulary. “It‘s not I.Q.（智商） but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity，”according to Rossman.Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books，magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity.At home，where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television，it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading. You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud-something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age.If he reads aloud with expression，with a sense of the meaning of the sentences，he probably is an automatic reader.If he reads haltingly，one word at a time，without expression or meaning，he needs more practice. 31. The first paragraph tells us （ ）。 A. what automaticity is B. how accuracy is acquired C. how a child learns to walk D. how an athlete is trained 32. The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader‘s high speed （ ）。 A. costs him a lot of work B. affects his comprehension C. leads to his future success D. doesn‘t affect his comprehension 33. The word outscoring in paragraph 3 means （ ）。 A. scoring higher than B. scoring lower than C. scoring as high as D. scoring unfavorably in 34. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage？（ ） A. Practice can make people learn quickly and accurately. B. A child always learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. C. The amount of time a child spends reading is the key to automaticity. D. If a child reads slowly without expressions or meaning，most probably he is not an automatic reader. 35. What is the main idea of the passage？（ ） A. Automaticity is important for efficient reading. B. Reading is the key to school success. C. The way to children‘s success. D. Children‘s I.Q. and their success. Passage 2 The world celebrated International Labor Day on the first of this month and，as the territory‘s best known labor representative，the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions feels the time is right to reassess priorities and restate the conditions necessary to improve the lot of workers.We also have to reassess our own role in terms of the successes and failures of trade union activity and how we can further serve the needs of workers and society.In this manner，we can give due recognition to those who have fought for workers’ rights and understand the balance of interest among different social groups. First of all，we must recognize that people need to work to earn a livelihood.In a capitalist society，however，workers are only employed when the value they produce by labor exceeds the input by the investor－that is，when they are exploited.But when employer‘s profits fall，when labor skills are a little outdated or devalued，or because of the need to increase competitive power，workers may be sacked. Union duty：A labor union，therefore，has to fight for the rights of workers.After demands by workers for legislation against unfair dismissal，the Hong Kong Government finally changed its attitude slightly at the beginning of this year by proposing legislation against unreasonable job termination or amendments of employment contracts. This is a positive move，given the relationship between employers and employees in Hong Kong.It plugs（堵，塞） loopholes（漏洞） in existing labor ordinances（法令） and reinforces the various ordinances that forbid unfair dismissal of workers.It also shows a breakthrough in bureaucratic（官僚政治的） thinking.We hope that this is a good start.The strengthening of career counseling by the Labor Department is also a positive move. 36. In order to further serve the needs of workers and society，the Trade Unions need to do the following things except （ ）。 A. to restate the condition B. to reassess priorities C. to rearrange further struggles D. to reassess their role 37. According to the author，why do people need to work？（ ） A. To produce value. B. To earn a livelihood. C. To increase competitive power. D. To exceed the input. 38. In the capitalist society，workers are only employed when （ ）。 A. employer‘s profits fall B. labor skills are a little outdated C. there is a need to increase competitive power D. they produce more value than the input 39. The Government‘s action has the following results except that （ ）。 A. it strengthens the various ordinances that prohibit unfair dismissal B. it plugs the loopholes in existing labor regulations C. it gives due recognition to those who have fought for workers‘ right D. it shows a breakthrough in bureaucratic thinking 40. A labor union can （ ）。 A. propose legislation against unreasonable dismissal B. amend the employment to change its attitude C. urge the government to change its attitude D. plug the loopholes in existing labor ordinances Ⅲ。用国际音标标出下列单词中划线字母或字母组合的读音。（每两小题1分，共10分） 41. gentle 42. ghastly 43. specimen 44. exhausted 45. break 46. solve 47. initial 48. philosophy 49. blood 50. extreme 51. finger 52. loyalty 53. familiar 54. wretched 55. powder 56. suede 57. smooth 58. journey 59. value 60. conceit Ⅳ。完形填空（每两小题1分，共10分） A. 从下列单词中选择适当的词填空，每个词只能用一次。 came but sources from factors pure else accurate creativecreated more for A land free __61__ destruction，plus wealth，natural resources，and labor supply……all these were important __62__ in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.__63__ they were not enough.
