A drunken driver is usually referred to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or __54__ three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were not __55__ in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially __56__ young children, that public opinion is no longer so __57__of it. Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, altering a __58__ in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than__59__, so the state recently upped it back to 21.

III. Reading Comprehension (47’) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the ___62___ one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not ___63___ to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total ___64___ upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or ___65___ of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. ___66___, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary ___67___ of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to ___68___ up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be ___69___ only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth. Most of the time we ___70___ this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening ___71___. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain ___72___ results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply ___73___ to listen to what we don’t want to hear. It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic (有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, ___74___ improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the ___75___ of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s ___76___ that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever. 62.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. ( A ) Rock climbing might seem extremely dangerous, but most climbers know what they’re doing. Over the years, climbers know what they’re doing. Over the years, climbers have developed knowledge and techniques that allow them to conquer rocks safely. There are different kinds of rock climbing and it’s mainly based on the equipment used. The two main categories are aid climbing and free climbing. Aid climbing uses equipment, such as screws inserted into rocks to help climbers pull themselves to the top. In free climbing, most climbers use equipment only to protect themselves from falling: they don’t use any tool to help them climb up the rock. In free climbing, it’s all about skill, strength and knowledge. You might think that muscles are the most important factors in this extreme sport. Not so, says Jeremy Noris, a rock climber in US. “ Your can’t muscle your way through climbing no matter how hard you try”, he says. More important factors are balance, coordination, and the ability to make your body tense, which helps climbers pull themselves up. Norin also says that lower-body strength in actually more important than upper-body strength. One of the best climbers Norin knows can only do seven pull-ups, but he has no problems climbing up some of the most rugged rock faces around. Although some climbers have mastered the sport, beginners are welcome. Start with bouldering, a kind of climbing without a rope that take place on a rock three to five meters tall, so that falling won’t result in serious injury. Believe me- it won’t seem that low when you are looking down from the top. 77. The main difference between aid climbing and free climbing lies in____. A. the function of the equipment B. the way climbers keep balance C. the rocks climbers choose to conquer D. the strength climbers use 78. Which of the following statements is true about the climbing? A. Screws are required so climbers can pull themselves up. B. Skill, strength and knowledge play a great role in it. C. Climbers are not allowed to use any kind of tools. D. The rules are not so strict as those of aid climbing. 79. What can we learn from the example of the climber Norin knows(in para.2) A. Conquering rocks has nothing to do with strength B. Muscles are the most important factors in rock climbing. C. The more pull-ups a climber does, the tenser his body will be. D. Upper- body strength is not as important as lower-body strength. 80. The writer suggests that the beginners should_____. A. first take a basic lever course B. overcome the fear of height C. climber without a rope to a lower height. D. learn to protect themselves from injury.

Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity（肥胖） rates. The study of 8,179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal. Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarian—although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken. Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores, between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken. Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically（统计地） significant after adjusting for these factors. Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians. Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, “The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease （冠心病）in adult life.” But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,"It is like the chicken and egg. Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?" 85. It was found in the research that______. A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20 years after the IQ tests were carried out B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians C. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians 86. Catharine Gale talked about “being vegetarians” in a(n)______way. A. doubtful B. subjective C. negative D. objective 87. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors. B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle. C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain. D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved. 88. What' s the best title for the text? A. Get more IQ points! B. Be a vegetarian, please! C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk D. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian (D) A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the story of the games is analyzed they can be seen to fall into some styles. The two styles most popular with the children I interviewed were ‘Platformers’ and ‘Beat-them-ups.’ Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated (动画的) characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children’s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls off a cliff but walks away unscathed. Argument has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children’s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after longtime exposure to these games. Playing computer games involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ‘yells’ at the screen. It is not only the ‘Beat-them-up’ games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ‘lives’ and ‘die’ just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination (协调). When the player loses and the words ‘Game over’ appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming ‘addictive’: the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have ‘one last go’ in the hope of doing better next time. Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability. 89. The best title for the passage is _______. A. How to control anger while playing computer games B. There is no difference between ‘Platformers’ and ‘Beat-Them-Ups’ C. How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children D. How to make children spend less time on computer games 90. The word “unscathed” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.  A. unharmed    B. unbeaten    C. unsettled   D. unhappy 91. According to Paragraph 2, how does violence relate to playing computer games?  A. Beat-Them-Ups are more popular with children therefore more likely to produce violent behavior.  B. When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.  C. People who have good hand-eye-coordination tend to be more violent than others.  D. The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games. 92. According to the author, why do video games lead to violence more than TV or movies?  A. Because children cannot tell fiction from reality.   B. Because children like to act out the scenes in the games on the playground.  C. Because computer games can produce more anti-social behavior.  D. Because computer games involve children more than TV or films. 第II卷（32分） I. Verb Filling (10) 1.
