Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)
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.
What will the world be like in fifty years?
This week some top scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, gave their vision of how the world will look in 2056,fron gas-powered cars to extraordinary health advances, John Ingham reports on what the world’s finest minds believe our futures will be.
For those of us lucky enough to live that long,2056 will be a world of almost perpetual youth, where obesity is a remote memory and robots become our companions.
We will be rubbing shoulders with aliens and colonizing outer space. Better still, our descendants might at last live in a world at peace with itself.
The prediction is that we will have found a source of inexbaustible, safe, green energy, and that science will have killed off religion. If they are right we will have removed two of the main causes of war-our dependence on oil and religious prejudice.
Will we really, as today’s scientists claim, be able to live for ever or at least cheat the ageing process so that the average person lives to 150?
Of course, all these predictions come with a scientific health warning. Harvard professor Steven Pinker says: “This is an invitation to look foolish, as with the predictions of domed cities and nuclear-powered vacuum cleaners that were made 50 year ago.”
Living longer
Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina, belives failing organs will be repaired by injecting cells into the body. They will naturally to straight to the injury and help heal it. A system of injections without needles could also slow the ageing process by using the same process to “tune” cells.
Bruce Lahn, professor of human genetics at the University of Chicago, anticipates the ability to produce“unlimited supplies” of transplantable human organs without the needed a new organ, such as kidney, the surgeon would contact a commercial organ producer, give him the patient’s immuno-logical profile and would then be sent a kidney with the correct tissue type.
These organs would be entirely composed of human cells, grown by introducing them into animal hosts, and alloweing them to deveoop into and organ in place of the animal’s own. But Prof. Lahn believes that farmed brains would be “off limits”.He says: “Very few people would want to have their brains replaced by someone else’s and we probably don’t want to put a human brain ing an animal body.”
Richard Miller, a professor at the University of Michigan, thinks scientist could develop“an thentic anti-ageing drugs” by working out how cells in larger animals such as whales and human resist many forms of injuries. He says:“It’s is now routine, in laboratory mammals, to extend lifespan by about 40%. Turning on the same protective systems in people should, by 2056, create the first class of 100-year-olds who are as vigorous and productive as today’s people in their 60s”
Aliens
Conlin Pillinger ,professor of planerary sciences at the Open University,says:”I fancy that at least we will be able to show that life didi start to evolve on Mars well as Earth.”Within 50years he hopes scientists will prove that alien life came here in Martian meteorites(陨石).
Chris McKay,a planetary scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center.believes that in 50 years we may find evidence of alien life in ancient permanent forst of Mars or on other planers.
He adds:”There is even a chance we will find alien life forms here on Earth.It mightbe as different as English is to Chinese.
Priceton professor Freeman Dyson thinks it “likely” that life form outer space will be discovered defore 2056 because the tools for finding it, such as optical and radio detection and data processing,are improving.
He ays:”As soon as the first evidence is found,we will know what to look for and additional discoveries are likely to follow quickly.Such discoveries are likely to have revolutionary consequences for biology, astronomy and philosophy. They may change the way we look at ourselves and our place in the universe.
Colonies in space
Richard Gottprofessor of astrophysics at Princeton,hopes man will set up a self-sufficient colony on Mars,which would be a “life insurance policy against whatever catastrophes,natural or otherwise,might occur on Earth.
“The real space race is whether we will colonise off Earth on to other worlds before money for the space programme runs out.”
Spinal injuries
Ellen Heber-Katz,a professor at the Wistar Institude in Philadelphia,foresees cures for inijuries causing paralysis such as the one that afflicated Superman star Christopher Reeve.
She says:”I believe that the day is not far off when we will be able to profescribe drugs that cause severes(断裂的) spinal cords to heal,hearts to regenerate and lost limbs to regrow.
“People will come to expect that injured or diseased organs are meant to be repaired from within,inmuch the same way that we fix an appliance or automobile:by replancing the damaged part with a manufacturer-certified new part.”She predict that within 5 to 10 years fingers and toes will be regrown and limbs will start to be regrown a few years later. Reparies to the nervous system will start with optic nerves and,in time,the spinal cord.”Within 50years whole body replacement will be routine,”Prof.Heber-Katz adds.
Obesity
Sydney Brenner,senior distinguished fellow of the Crick-Jacobs Center in California,won the 2002 Noblel Prize for Medicine and says that if there is a global disaster some humans will survive-and evolition will favour small people with bodies large enough to support the required amount of brain power.”Obesity,”he says.”will have been solved.” Robots Rodney Brooks,professor of robotice at MIT,says the problems of developing artificial intelligence for robots will be at least partly overcome.As a result,”the possibilities for robots working with people will open up immensely” Energy Bill Joy,green technology expert in Califomia,says:”The most significant breakthrought would be to have an inexhaustible source of safe,green energy that is substantially cheaper than any existing energy source.” Ideally,such a source would be safe in that it could not be made into weapons and would not make hazardous or toxic waste or carbon dioxide,the main greenhouse gas blamed for global warming. Society Geoffrey Miller,evolutionary psychologist at the University of New Mexico,says:”The US will follow the UKin realizing that religion is nor a prerequisite (前提)for ordinary human decency. “This,science will kill religion-not by reason challenging faith but by offering a more practical,uniwersal and rewarding moral frameworkfor human interaction.” He also predicts that “ahsurdly wasteful”displays of wealth will become umfashionable while the importance of close-knit communities and families will become clearer. These there changer,he says,will help make us all”brighe\ter,wiser,happier and kinder”. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。 1.What is john lngham’s report about?

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: CET4
假设你被选取为交换学生，到美国学习，你会选择什么做为礼物带给美国朋友。
Suppose that I am chosen to be an exchange student, ready to stay and study in the USA for a while, I will show the American people the best of our country and our culture. I think the best way to achieve this purpose is to bing them some souvenirs that can best represent Chinese characteristics. I would choose Chinese Ties.
The reasons for my choice are twofold. First things first, it symbolizes a Chinese dream, a dream deeply rooted in the Chinese culture—a harmonious society. Typically round in shape, a Chinese Tie reflects ancient Chinese outlook on the world, which, they believe, should be round. In turn, round things signify a harmony. Secondly, I think few things are so wonderful as a...., since just in its middle is a square hole, which has another meaning– the idea of order and rule.
Perhaps, there are numerous things that can stand for China, such as …… However, the best that can visualize China, as far as I am concerned, is the Chinese tie.
第二篇
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Fascinating China. You should write at least 120 words according to the situation given below in Chinese:
一位外国朋友第一次来中国，他想让你介绍两三样极具中国特色的事物(可以是风俗文化等)， 你会向他介绍什么？如何介绍？CET4/CET6
The Fascinations of China
China, one of the cradles of human civilization, possesses so many treasures with Chinese characteristics that numerous foreign friends come to visit her. The first place to go to is, the Great Wall, which is the symbol of China and one of the seven wonders in the world. What's more, it is said to be the only construction that can be seen from the outer space. In the imperial periods, it was used in defense of the dynasties. Since liberation, it has become a place of interest. There is a famous saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall isn't a true man."
China is home to Panda, an animal with only two colors, white and black, but very cute. It's our national treasure, often functioning as a friendly diplomat. Terracotta-clay warriors unearthed in Xi'an, a famous ancient city-were sculptured in Qin Dynasty, the first dynasty of China. When former U.S. President Clinton came to China, he visited terracotta’s first.
The above mentioned are just a wave of the sea. If you want to know more about this ancient nation, come and be our guest.
第三篇
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Something I admire about the Western Culture. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below :
1. Is there anything in the Western culture you admire?
2. What is it (are they) and why do you like it (them)?
Something I Admire about the Western Culture
Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.
First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents’order, that is, they are more like close friends.
Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.
Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background. If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. It's a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.

作文 - 花5分钟列提纲
很多考生拿到作文题目之后直接就动笔开写。这是一个误区。
其实，作文考试的时间(30分钟)对大部分考生还是充裕的，有的考生直接开写，造成结果了跑题，有的写到一半发现无话可说，这样会打乱考试节奏，对心情也是一个重大打击。
建议考生利用前5分钟，用精要的词在试卷上列出提纲，所谓“磨刀不误砍柴工”。
听力 - 听懂最后三句话
很多同学发现听力中的选择题比较容易把握，但是最后的复合式听写成为考生“心腹大患”。建议中字母数超过10个的长词，以及容易拼错的词，而且一边背，一边熟悉它的正确英语发音。最后三句话的建议还是努力去听懂大意，不要急着去写听出来的词。
综合 - 花10分钟改错
很 多考生问题在不能很好地分配时间，建议做改错题起码留出10分钟，翻译5分钟。对改错，出现频率最高的是主谓不一致、名词单复数、词义的正反用错、非谓语 动词、词组搭配等等，考生只要把历年的真题改错都做好总结，掌握了这些错误点，做起题来也会容易很多。针对翻译，考生们只要读懂中文大意，选用学过最简单 的单词和词组，串连成句，注意时态和单词拼写问题后一般不会有太大差错。
快速阅读 - 先看问题再阅读
很多同学还是全文阅读之后再做题，浪费很多时间。其实应该学会“跳读”，因为即使看懂了全文，所考的内容才占10%，所以先看问题，再到文中找答案的“定位”能力比较重要。
仔细阅读 - 跳读全文，抓住中心
仔细阅读部分是考试中的重头戏。很多同学读完一篇不知所云，或者被干扰选项打乱了阵脚。针对这种现象，建议同学们做到以下32个字：跳读全文，抓住中心；阅读选项，词性分类；瞻前顾后，灵活选择；复读全文，谨慎调整。
