Plants and Mankind
Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don’t know what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.

第3部分：概括大意与完成句子（第23~30题，每题1分，共8分）

1 Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
2 First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher, they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.
3 Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
4 Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
5 What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.

第4部分：阅读理解（第31~45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面第3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇 Chewing Gum
The practice of chewing gum (口香糖) has been with us for more than a century. Millions of people all over the world chew billions of pieces of gum every year.
Chewing gum became popular in the United States mainly because of the work of one man, William Wrigley, who for many years was head of the Wrigley Company. Earlier, Thomas Adams first began to experiment with chewing gum in about the year 1870. It was he who first made gum softer and pleasant to chew. But it was not until Wrigley entered the business in about 1890 that people everywhere began to learn about chewing gum and to use it widely.
Wrigley liked to do things in a big way. In his first year, he borrowed money and spent more than a million dollars on advertising (做广告). For years, there was a large Wrigley’s advertisement in every streetcar(有轨电车) in the United States. People complained that they could not go anywhere without seeing Wrigley’s name. Wrigley even sent, free of charge, pieces of gum to every person in the telephone book of every city and town in the United States. Finally, he began to advertise that it was good for the health to chew gum and that it helped to keep the teeth clean.
He used to send free gum to every child in the United States on his second birthday. He employed young women who, in beautiful dresses, would go from city to city in groups of four or five, stand on street corners, and give free chewing gum to every person who passed by. In this way, each woman gave away about five thousand pieces of Wrigley’s gum every day. As a result of this continuous advertising, people in the United States naturally began to buy more and more chewing gum.
31 Who first started to experiment with chewing gum?
A William Wrigley.
B Thomas Adams.
C Children.
D Women.
32 William Wrigley spent more than amillion dollars in advertising his chewing gum because
A he was a millioaire.
B he liked to do things in a big way.
C he hoped to improve his health.
D he wanted to head the company.
33 Which of the following is NOT true of Wrigley’s advertising?
A He used his name to advertise chewing gum in every streetcar in the US.
B He sent free gum to every person in the telephone book of every city in the US.
C He sent free gum to every pretty woman
D He sent free gum to every child in the US on his second birthday.
34 In the last paragraph, the phrase “give away” is closest in meaning to
A “eat up”
B “get ready”
C “destroy”
D “give something to someone free of charge”
35 According to the passage, people in the US began to chew more and more gum mainly because of
A Wrigley’s continuous advertising.
B its strange taste.
C their bad teeth.
D its pleasant flavour.
第二篇 The English Weather
“Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather”. This statement, often made by Englishmen to describe the strange weather conditions of their country, is both revealing and true. It is revealing because in it we see the Englishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere; its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days.
In no country other than England, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day! Day may break as a warm spring morning; an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down. At midday it may be really winter with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade (摄氏度). And then, in the late afternoon the sky will clear, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer.
In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme. (Some foreigners seem to be under the impression that for ten months of the year the country is covered by a dense blanket of fog; this is not true.) The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only do we get several different sorts of weather in one day, but we may very well get a spell (持续的异端时间) of winter in summer and a spell of summer in winter.
The uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the English man’s character; it tends to make him cautious (小心谨慎的), for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman setting forth on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in the day!
And, of course, the weather’s variety provides a constant topic of conversation. Even the most taciturn(沉默寡言的) of Englishmen is always prepared to discuss the weather. And, though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could, exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands.
36 “Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather”. This statement suggests that
A other countries do not have fine weather.
B you cannot experience four seasons in a year in England.
C the weather in England often changes and is therefore unique.
D the weather in England never changes.
37 A special feature of the weather in England is that
A you can experience four seasons every day throughout the year.
B it does not have four seasons as other countries do.
C winter there is the coldest in the world.职称英语考试吧ht
D you may experience different types of weather in a single day.
38 What makes the Englishman cautious, according to the passage?
A The foreigner’s laughter.
B The cold weather in winter.
C The uncertainty about the weather.
D The predictable climate.
39 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the weather in England?
A England is covered by heavy fog for ten months the year.
B It tends to make the Englishman cautious.
C One cannot be sure when the different types of weather will occur.
D You may have a spell of winter in summer.
40 The word “lands” in the last sentence could best be replaced by
A “soil”
B “earth”
C “countries”.
D “parts”
第三篇 A Thirsty World
The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea-water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% - the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs (冰山) and glaciers (冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
At the moment, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is increasing rapidly. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry.
In addition to stopping wasting our precious water, one useful step we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.
Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying(净化) plant. There it can be filtered (过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again just as if it were fresh from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Where could we turn next/ to the oceans! All we’d have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is — remove the salt. This salt-removing process is already in use in many parts of the world.
So if we take all these steps, we’ll be in no danger of drying up!
41 The phrase “the world” in the first line of the passage refers to
A “man”.
B “you”.
C “woman”.
D “they”.
42 What percentage of the earth’s water can man actually use at present?
A Nearly 75 per cent.
B About 97 per cent.
C Exactly 3 per cent.
D Less than 3 per cent.
43 According to the passage, we can avoid a worldwide water shortage in the future by
A increasing rainfall.
B reusing water and utilizing sea-water.
C cutting down our consumption of water.
D reducing the number of factories producing steel.
44 Which of the following statements, according to the passage, is NOT true?
A A limited water supply will affect industrial production.
B Every large city purifies and reuses its water.
C Purified water is not exactly as fresh as spring water.
D Oceans are the largest water source.
45 According to the passage, sea-water can be turned into fresh water by
A heating it up.
B treating it with chemicals.
C taking salt out of it.
D drying it up.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven, a major composer of the nineteenth century, overcame many personal problems to achieve artistic greatness.
Born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770, he first studied music with the court organist, Gilles van der Eeden. (46) When his mother died, Beethoven, then a young man, was named guardian of his two younger brothers. Appointed deputy court organist to Christian Gottlob Neefe at a surprisingly early age in 1782, Beethoven also played the harpsichord and the viola. (47)
Beethoven remained unmarried. Because of irregular payments from his publishers and erratic support from his patrons, he was troubled by financial worries throughout his adult life. (48)
In spite of this handicap, however, he continued to write music. He completed mature masterpieces of great musical depth: three piano sonatas, four string quartets, the Missa Solemnis, and the 9th Symphony. (49) His life was marked by a passionate dedication to independence.
Noting that Beethoven often flew into fits of rage, Goethe once said of him, “I am astonished by his talent, but he is unfortunately an altogether untamed personality.” (50)
A Today his music is still being played all over the world.
B He died in 1827.
C In 1792 he was sent to Vienna by his patron, Count Ferdinand Waldstein, to study music under Haydn.
D His father was excessively strict and given to heavy drinking.
E Although Beethoven’s personality may have been untamed, his music shows great discipline and control, and this is how we remember him best.
F Continually plagued by ill health, he developed an ear infection which led to his tragic

The Recreative Function of Greens pace Facilities
Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is
(51) longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is (52) accepted, although more as a self-evident statement (53) on the basis of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greens paces in the urban environment is the (54) step on the right way; this does not (55), however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greens pace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants(居民) are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the (56) of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative (供消遣的) function of greens pace facilities.职称英语教材
The theoretical separation of (57), working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my (58) resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively (59) attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have (60) to the conlusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for (61) at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open (62) has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as (63), and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory(必须做的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to (64) a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere (65) a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.
