You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1．当今网络教育成为潮流2．成为这种潮流的原因3．网络教育的意义和影响

Part II Reading Comprehension (15 minutes)

(1)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1 - 7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A , B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Great Australian Fence A war has been going on for almost a hundred years between the sheep farmers of Australia and the dingo, Australia's wild dog. To protect their livelihood, the farmers built a wire fence, 3,307 miles of continuous wire network, reaching from the coast of South Australia all the way to the cotton fields of eastern Queensland, just shore of the Pacific Ocean. The Fence is Australia's version of the Great Wall of China, but even longer, erected to keep out hostile invaders, in this case hordes of yellow dogs. The empire it preserves is that of the wool- growers, sovereigns of the world's second largest sheep flock, after China's -- some 123 million head - and keepers of a wool export business worth four billion dollars. Never mind that more and more people - conservationists, politicians, taxpayers and animal lovers -- say that such a barrier would never be allowed today on ecological grounds. With sections of it almost a hundred years old, the dog fence has become, as conservationist Lindsay Fairweather ruefully admits, an icon of Australian frontier ingenuity. To appreciate this unusual outback monument and to meet the people whose livelihoods depend on it, I spent part of an Australian autumn traveling the wire. It's known by different names in different states : the Dog Fence is South Australia, the Border Fence in New South Wales and the Barrier Fence in Queensland. I would call it simply the Fence. For most of its prodigious length, this epic fence winds like a river across a landscape that,unless a big rain has fallen, scarcely has rivers. The eccentric route, prescribed mostly by property lines, provides a sampler of outback topography : the Fence goes over sand dunes, past salt lakes, up and down rock-strewn hills, through dense scrub and across barren plains. The Fence stays away from towns. Where it passes near a town, it has actually become a tourist attraction visited on bus tours. It marks the traditional dividing line between cattle and sheep. In- side, where the dingoes are legally classified as vermin, they are shot, poisoned and trapped. Sheep and dingoes do not mix and the Fence sends that message mile after mile. What is this creature that by itself threatens an entire industry, inflicting several millions of dollars of damage a year despite the presence of

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)

(1)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank .following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage. If an animal is moved from its home in the tropics to a cold climate, it will die if it is not kept warm. And animals 1 to cold climates will die if they are moved to the tropics. Many plants, too, will die if they are removed from the place where they normally grow and are transplanted into an 2 soil. Almost every species is adapted to life in a particular place by its organs and their functions and by permanent habits. The specialized adaptation has great advantages, for it 3 many organ- isms to survive under different conditions. It also has disadvantages, for it means that the life of most species is controlled by 4 conditions. Living things are not scattered over the earth 5 ; most species have definite habits for living places. Ecology is the study of how organisms live in their environment. This means finding out how an organism 6 and reproduces in certain surroundings. By environment we mean not only the soil and the climate but the living things of the same species and other species, plant or animal. Most living things are, 7 to their environment. Some can alter certain features of their environment to 8 themselves; a beaver, for example, can make ponds by building dams; many birds and insects can build 9 nests to provide shelter for their young. But these skills are restricted and highly specialized. Most organisms must adapt their bodies to fitting in with their surroundings, and since they can adapt only for particular surroundings, they are found only in places where they can live 10 with the least effort.

Part IV Reading Comprehension Reading in Depth (35 minutes)

(1)Directions : There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage.For years there have been endless articles stating that scientists are on the verge of achieving artificial intelligence, that it is just around the comer. The truth is that it may be just around the comer, but they haven't yet found the right clock. Artificial intelligence aims to build machines that can think. One immediate problem is to de- fine thought, which is harder than you might think. The specialists in the field of artificial intelligence complain, with some justification, that anything that their machines do is dismissed as not being thought. For example, computers can now play very, very good chess. They can't beat the greatest players in the world, but they can beat just about anybody else. If a human being played chess at this level, he or she would certainly be considered smart. Why not a machine The answer is that the machine doesn't do anything clever in playing chess. It uses its blinding speed to do a brute-force (残忍的) search of all possible moves for several moves ahead, evaluates the out- comes and picks the best. Humans don't play chess that way. They see patterns, which computers don't. This wooden approach to thought characterizes machine intelligence. Computers have no judgment, no flexibility, no common sense. So-called expert systems, one of the hottest areas in artificial intelligence, aim to mimic the reasoning processes of human experts in a limited field, such as medical diagnosis or weather forecasting．There may be limited commercial applications for this sort of thing, but there is no way to make a machine think about anything under the sun, which a teenager can do. The hallmark (特征) of artificial intelligence to date is that if a problem is severely restricted, a machine can achieve limited success. But when the problem is expanded to a realistic one, computers fall flat on their display screens. For example, machines can understand a few words spoken individually by a speaker that they have been trained to hear. They cannot understand continuous speech using an unlimited vocabulary spoken by just any speaker.{TS}From the passage we know that the author__________

(6)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage. Drunken driving -- sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder -- has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past decade.A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0. 10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were

中大网校 “十佳网络教育机构”、 “十佳职业培训机构” 网址：www.wangxiao.cn

中大网校引领成功职业人生

tolerant in most courts, but the drunken slaughter () has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop \"responsible attitudes\" about drinking and teach them to resist pressure to drink. New laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked de- dine in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (小酒店) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was \"obviously intoxicated (喝醉的)\" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy. As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the \"noble experiment\". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.{TS}Drunken driving has become a popular problem in America because___________ A. accidents attract so much publicity B. most Americans are heavy drinkers

C. drinking is a socially-accepted habit in America D. Americans are now less shocked by road accidents

(7)Public opinion regarding drunken driving has changed in that___________ A. detailed statistics are now available B. judges are giving more severe sentences C. drivers are more conscious of their image D. the news media have highlighted the problem

(8)Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that_________ A. many drivers were not of legal age B. young drivers were often bad drivers C. the legal drinking age should be raised D. the level of drinking increased in the 1960s

(9)Laws recently introduced in some states have_________ A. resulted in fewer serious accidents B. reduced the number of convictions C. specified the amount drivers can drink

D. prevented bars from serving drunken customers
