2、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. Passage 1“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, its a girl.”Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a differe

3、nt response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for childre

4、n and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious th

5、at the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation (协调) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of f

6、athers.It is argued by some writers that the change to the fathers role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mothers role. The mothers role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation. On the other hand,

7、the fathers role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.1. From the passage, we learn that fatherhood _.A. brings a feeling of exci

8、tement to most menB. makes some men feel proud and others uneasyC. has a different meaning for men who have daughtersD. means a responsibility that men accept unwillingly2.

12、meC. criticize fathers for not taking enough responsibility in bringing up the children D. complain about the lack of social programs to help fathers in their role shiftPassage 2As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe- s

13、un-baked brick plastered（涂抹）with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construct

14、ion easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town. The people or the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” corn, beans, and squash. They made exce

15、llent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches（沟）. Water was so important that it played a major

16、 role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature.

While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And b

23、y 1992, as head of the Microsoft Company, he became the richest man in America with assets of approximately $6.3 billion. Born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956, Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent

24、 child. He had read the entire world book encyclopedia（百科全书）by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and math and his favorite pastime was thinking.Gate first started to play with computer at the age of 13, when one was installed at his school. At the time, computers were lar

25、ge, awkward machines. Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long, Gates was an expert at working the schools computer. After his graduation from se

26、condary school, Gates was accepted by three top universities in the USA Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in math. But he was still obsessed（着迷）with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture ha

27、lls. By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no e

28、fficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.His next project was the software program that made him very famous and rich. It was called D

29、OS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was purchased by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man, but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to cri

30、ticize his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner, an unfashionable boring computer nut until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melinda French on New Years Day 1994. Yet to most people now, Gates is a person who is, in spite of his great wealth, humb

31、le（谦卑的）and ordinary. He spends his money carefully. He eats in fast-food restaurants and flies economy class. And when praised for Microsofts great success, he has been heard to say, “All we do is put software in a box and if people see it in the stores and like it, they buy it”. 11.When he was a te

36、and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent

37、the park.

38、 managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the pa

39、rk and the county, is helping to restrict small lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.The willingness of local landowners to participate in this protection effort may have been stimulated by concerns that congress would impose a legislative

40、 solution. Nevertheless, many local residents want to retain the existing character of the area. Meetings between park officials and landowners have led to a dramatically improved understanding of all concerns.16.
