            　　　　　　　　　　　 B) 3 hours.
            　　　　　　　　　　　 C) 4 hours.
            　　　　　　　　　　　 D) 5 hours.
            　　　　From the conversation we know that the two are talking about
            some work they will start 　　　　at 9 o'clock in the morning and have
            to finish at 2 in the afternoon. Therefore, D)"5 　　　　hours"is the
            correct answer. You should choose [D] on the Answer Sheet and mark

            Part II
            Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
            Directions:
            There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed
            by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there
            are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the
            best choice and mark the corresponding　letter on the Answer Sheet
            with a single line through the centre.
            Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
            　　We sometimes think humans are uniquely vulnerable to anxiety, but
            stress seems to affect the immune defenses of lower animals too. In
            one experiment, for example, behavioral immunologist (免疫学家) Mark
            Laudenslager, at the University of Denver, gave mild electric shocks
            to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning
            a wheel in their enclosure, while the other half could not. The rats
            in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the
            wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the
            shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed
            below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn
            off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that
            lack of control over an event, not the experience itself, is what
            weakens the immune system.
            　　Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke
            University School of Medicine, has shown that animals who are
            allowed to control unpleasant stimuli don't develop sleep
            disturbances or changes in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats.
            But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no
            control over, they later behave passively when faced with
            experiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists'
            suspicions that the experience or perception of helplessness is one
            of the most harmful factors in depression.
            　　One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the
            immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist
            Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine
            conditioned (使形成条件反射) mice to avoid saccharin（糖精）by simultaneously
            feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that while
            suppressing their immune systems caused stomach upsets. Associating
            the saccharin with the stomach pains, the mice quickly learned to
            avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish this dislike for the
            sweetener, Ader re-exposed the animals to saccharin, this time
            without the drug, and was astonished to find that those mice that
            had received the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlier
            conditioning died. He could only speculate that he had so
            successfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to
            weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.
            　　
            　　11. Laudenslager's experiment showed that the immune system of
            those rats who could turn off the electricity .
            　　 A) was strengthened C) was altered
            　　 B) was not affected D) was weakened
            　　12. According to the passage, the experience of helplessness
            causes rats to .
            　　 A) try to control unpleasant stimuli B) turn off the electricity
            　　 C) behave passively in controllable situations D) become
            abnormally suspicious
            　　13. The reason why the mice in Ader's experiment avoided saccharin
            was that .
            　　 A) they disliked its taste B) it affected their immune systems
            　　 C) it led to stomach pains D) they associated it with
stomachaches
            　　14. The passage tells us that the most probable reason for the
            death of the mice in Ader's experiment was that .
            　　 A) they had been weakened psychologically by the saccharin
            　　 B) the sweetener was poisonous to them
            　　 C) their immune systems had been altered by the mind
            　　 D) they had taken too much sweetener during earlier conditioning
            　　15. It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems
            of animals .
            　　 A) can be weakened by conditioning B) can be suppressed by drug
            injections
            　　 C) can be affected by frequent doses of saccharin D) can be
            altered by electric shocks
            Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
            　　
            　　 The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our
            food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme
            difficulty in affixing (把…固定) legal responsibility on those who
            continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon (放任).
            Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives
            and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and
            industrial denial and long delays - not only in accepting
            responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it.
            　　It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax
            incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for
            change. Where is industry's and our recognition that protecting
            mankind's great treasure is the single most important
            responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health
            professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to
            solve environmental problems, that time is now.
            　　We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we
            take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in
            environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologists,
            the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to
            communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change.
            However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to
            develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who
            must lead the charge.
            　　We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at
            city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can
            no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must
            visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective
            decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media
            distortion and public confusion.
            　　 I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we
            must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that
            people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and
            understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must
            be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens
            can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this
            decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not
            merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars
            truly on prevention rather than on bandages.
            　　
            　　16. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the
            industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because .
            　　 A) they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing
            　　 B) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests
            　　 C) time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
            　　 D) it is difficult for them to take effective measures
            　　17. The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists
            and conservationists is . 　　A) to prevent pollution by legislation,
            economic incentives and persuasion
            　　B) to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental
            protection
            　　C) to take radical measures to control environmental pollution
            　　D) to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental
            standards
            　　18. The word "tunnel-visioned" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably
            means " ".
            　　 A) narrow-minded C) short-sighted B) blind to the facts
            　　 D) able to see only one aspect
            　　19. Which of the following, according to the author, should play
            the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?
            　　 A) Legislation and government intervention.
            　　 B) The industry's understanding and support.
            　　 C) The efforts of environmental health professionals.
            　　 D) The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and
            conservationists.
            　　20. Which of the following is true according to the last
paragraph?
            　　 A) Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of
            on remedial measures.
            　　 B) More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
            　　 C) Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on
            pollution.
            　　 D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this
            decade.
            Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
            　　British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase
            in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free
            education is at risk. The universities have threatened to impose an
            admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government
            does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public
            spending cutbacks.
            　　The government responded to the universities' threat by setting up
            the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation,
            under a non-party troubleshooter (调停人), Sir Ron Dearing.
            　　One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times
            the number when the last review took place thirty years ago
            　　Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid
            expansion needs a lot more money - but there is little hope of
            getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more
            finance from business.
            　　Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs,
            something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a
            revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to
            introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their
            own threatened action for now. They await Dearing's advice, hoping
            it will not be too late - some are already reported to be in
            financial difficulty.
            　　As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a
            university should be is under the microscope. Experts ponder how
            much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need
            for lifelong learning and refer to students as "consumers."
            　　The Confederation (联盟) of British Industry, the key employers'
            organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help
            fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies. But
            the government has doubts about more expansion. The Times newspaper
            agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers
            soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to "ass
            production methods more typical of European universities."
            　
            　　21. The chief concern of British universities is .
            　　 A) how to tackle their present financial difficulty
            　　 B) how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprises
            　　 C) how to improve their educational technology
            　　 D) how to put an end to the current tendency of quality
            deterioration
            　　 22. We can learn from the passage that in Britain .
            　　 A) the government pays dearly for its financial policy
            　　 B) universities are mainly funded by businesses
            　　 C) higher education is provided free of charge
            　　 D) students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition
            　　23. What was the percentage of high school graduates admitted to
            universities in Britain thirty years ago?
            　　 A) 20% or so. C) Above 30%.
            　　 B) About 15%. D) Below 10%.
            　　24. It can be inferred from the passage that .
            　　 A) the British government will be forced to increase its spending
            on higher education
            　　 B) British employers demand an expansion in enrollment at the
            expense of quality
            　　 C) the best way out for British universities is to follow their
            European counterparts
            　　 D) British students will probably have to pay for their higher
            education in the near future
            　　 25. Which of the following is the viewpoint of the Times
            newspaper?
            　　 A) Expansion in enrollment is bound to affect the quality of
            British higher education.
            　　 B) British universities should expand their enrollment to meet
            the needs of industry.
            　　 C) European universities can better meet the needs of the modern
            world.
            　　 D) British universities should help fight competition on world
            markets.
            Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
            　　There's a simple premise behind what Larry Myers does for a
            living: If you can smell it, you can find it.
            　　 Myers is the founder of Auburn University's Institute for
            Biological Detection Systems, the main task of which is to chase the
            ultimate in detection devices - an artificial nose.
            　　For now, the subject of their research is little more than a stack
            of gleaming chips tucked away in a laboratory drawer. But soon, such
            a tool could be hanging from the belts of police, arson (纵火)
            investigators and food-safety inspectors.
            　　The technology that they are working on would suggest quite
            reasonably that, within three to five years, we'll have some
            workable sensors ready to use. Such devices might find wide use in
            places that attract terrorists. Police could detect drugs, bodies
            and bombs hidden in cars, while food inspectors could easily test
            food and water for contamination.
            　　The implications for revolutionary advances in public safety and
            the food industry are astonishing. But so, too, are the
            possibilities for abuse: Such machines could determine whether a
            woman is ovulating (排卵), without a physical exam - or even her
            knowledge.
            　　One of the traditional protectors of American liberty is that it
            has been impossible to search everyone. That's getting not to be the
            case.
            　　Artificial biosensors created at Auburn work totally differently
            from anything ever seen before. AromaScan, for example, is a desktop
            machine based on a bank of chips sensitive to specific chemicals
            that evaporate into the air. As air is sucked into the machine,
            chemicals pass over the sensor surfaces and produce changes in the
            electrical current flowing through them. Those current changes are
            logged into a computer that sorts out odors based on their
            electrical signatures.
            　　Myers says they expect to load a single fingernail-size chip with
            thousands of odor receptors (感受器), enough to create a sensor that's
            nearly as sensitive as a dog's nose.
            　　26. Which of the following is within the capacity of the
            artificial nose being developed? 　　A) Performing physical
            examinations.
            　　B) Locating places which attract terrorists.
            　　C) Detecting drugs and water contamination.
            　　D) Monitoring food processing.
            　　27. A potential problem which might be caused by the use of an
            artificial nose is .
            　　 A) negligence of public safety C) a hazard to physical health
            　　 B) an abuse of personal freedom D) a threat to individual privacy
            　　28. The word "logged" (Line 5, Para. 7) most probably means " ".
            　　 A) preset C) processed
            　　 B) entered D) simulated
            　　 29. To produce artificial noses for practical use, it is
            essential .
            　　 A) to develop microchips with thousands of odor receptors
            　　 B) to invent chips sensitive to various chemicals
            　　 C) to design a computer program to sort out smells
            　　 D) to find chemicals that can alter the electrical current
            passing through
            　　 30. The author's attitude towards Larry Myers' work is .
            　　 A) cautious C) suspicious
            　　 B) approving D) overenthusiastic

            Most people who travel long distances complain of jetlag (喷气飞行时差反应).
            Jetlag makes business travelers less productive and more prone 61
            making mistakes. It is actually caused by 62 of your "body clock" -
            a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of
            biological 63 . The body clock is designed for a 64 rhythm of
            daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it
            65 daylight and darkness at the "wrong" times in a new time zone.
            The 66 of jetlag often persist for days 67 the internal body clock
            slowly adjusts to the new time zone. Now a new anti-jetlag system is
            68 that is based on proven 69 pioneering scientific research. Dr.
            Martin Moore-Ede has 70 a practical strategy to adjust the body
            clock much sooner to the new time zone 71 controlled exposure to
            bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and
            eliminates 72 of the discomfort of jetlag. A successful time zone
            shift depends on knowing the exact times to either 73 or avoid
            bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make
            jetlag worse. The proper schedule 74 light exposure depends a great
            deal on 75 travel plans. Data on a specific flight itinerary (旅行路线)
            and the individual's sleep 76 are used to produce a Trip Guide with
            77 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light. When the Trip
            Guide calls 78 bright light you should spend time outdoors if
            possible. If it is dark outside, or the weather is bad, 79 you are
            on an aeroplane, you can use a special light device to provide the
            necessary light 80 for a range of activities such as reading,

            fourth-graders fail to read well, (S8) . But, 40 percent of them
            still can't read at a basic level." Volunteer tutors, who provide
            community service in exchange for college funding, are being used in
