Passage One
An 82-year-old man who shot a burglar who was trying to break into his allotment shed was ordered to pay him £4000 damages yesterday.
Ted Newbery had been sleeping in the shed to try to stop vandals destroying his allotment. He fired through a hole in the door when he heard voices outside. Mark Revill, 28, was hit in the chest and arm by 50 shotgun pellets as he and another man tried to smash their way into the shed. They had gone there to steal, knowing that the pensioner had a television set and a washing machine in the shed.
Mr. Newbery had slept in the shed every night for four years because of vandalism, the court was told by the defense. That night, he heard a loud banging on the door, and a voice saying “If the old man’s in there, we’ll do him.” He was absolutely terrified, and fired the gun in self-defense. As a result of the incident, Mr. Revill lost two fingers, and has partially lost the use of one arm.
Mr. Justice Rougier ruled that Mr. Newbery had acted out of all proportion to the threat. He had not acted in panic, but had planned his response in advance, and it had been reckless to shoot the shotgun through a hole in the door, while not being able to see what he was shooting at.
Mr. Justice Rougier awarded Revill £4000 for his injuries and loss of earnings.
The judgment caused an immediate public outcry. Tim Molloney, the Mayor of Erewash, launched an appeal to raise money to pay Mr. Newbery’s bill, and started the fund with a contribution of £100. Since then, money has been pouring in from all over the country. A London restaurateur was one of the dozens to call The Times to express his anger over the affair. Husseyin Ozer, 42, said he would sell his Rolex watch to pay the award. “I am outraged. The old saying that an Englishman’s home is his castle does not seem to be true any more,” he said.

1. What do we learn about Mr. Revill
A) He tried to break in. B) He was shot dead.
C) He was a neighbor of Mr. Newbery. D) He lived on pension.
2. Mr. Newbery said he shot at Mr. Revill ______.
A) out of panic B) through the window
C) to frighten him away D) because he was angry with him
3. Which of the following opinions did the court most probably agree with
A) It was Mr. Revill’s own fault if he was injured.
B) Mr. Newbery had planned the shooting.
C) Mr. Newbery should have been sent to prison for what he did.
D) A home owner is entitled to shoot a burglar under any circumstances.
4. The Mayor of Erewash started a fund to help Mr. Newbery because he thought ______.
A) Mr. Newbery was right in trying to defend himself
B) Mr. Newbery was too old to support himself
C) the police should have protected Mr. Newbery
D) the local government was partly responsible for the incident
5. What is the author’s tone of voice in writing the news
A) Sympathetic. B) Critical. C) Objective. D) Angry.

Passage Two
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least 6,000 years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapon that causes the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this is to be a big error. All ideologies are based on dogmatic statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but in the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb.

6. This passage implies that war is now .
A. worse than in the past
B. as bad as in the past
C. not so dangerous as in the past
D. as necessary as in the past
7. In the sentence ‘To do this, we need to persuade mankind.’ (paragraph 1), the word ‘this’
refers to .
A. abolish war B. improve weapons
C. solve international problems D. live a peaceful life
8. From paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage .
A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies
B. does not think the adoption of some ideologies could prevent war
C. believes that the adoption of some ideologies could prevent war
D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
9. According to the writer, .
A. war is the only way to solve international disputes
B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons
C. it is impossible for people to live without war
D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive
10. The last paragraph suggests that .
A. international agreements can be reached more easily now
B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war
C. nuclear war will definitely not take place
D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war.
Passage Three
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course that he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.

11. Normally a student would at least attend classes each week.
A. 36 B. 12 C. 20 D. 15
12. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed .
A. to live in a different university
B. to take a particular course in a different university.
C. to live at home and drive to classes
D. to get two degrees from two different universities
13. American university students are usually under pressure of work because .
A. their academic performance will affect their future careers
B. they are heavily involved in student affaires
C. they have to observe university discipline
D. they want to run for positions of authority
14. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because .
A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs
D. such positions are usually well paid
15. The student organizations seem to be effective in .
A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university
B. ensuring that the students observe university regulations
C. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court
D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities
Ⅲ Translation
本大题共2小题，其中第1小题30分，第2小题20分， 本大题共50分
1．Translate the following into Chinese.
China's reform has entered a critical stage and a deep water zone. We must rely fully on the people, break mental shackles and vested interests with great determination. We will expand the rebuilding of rundown urban areas so that cities will take on a new look instead of having stretches of rundown areas existing side by side with high-rise buildings. We will strengthen comprehensive maintenance of public order, crack down hard on violent crimes of terrorism, safeguard China's national security, create good public order, and work together to ensure public security in China. The people are the foundation of a nation, and a nation can enjoy peace only when its foundation is strong. The fundamental goal of a government's work is to ensure that everyone lives a good life. We will continue to build institutions, improve weak links, help those in need of subsistence assistance, ensure everyone has access to basic necessities, and improve people's living standards and quality of life. We will declare war against pollution and fight it with the same determination we battled poverty. We will fully implement the basic strategy of law-based governance, act in accordance with the law in all our government work, and be guided by law in both thinking and action in performing our duties.
2．Translate the following into English.
一种人旳生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么原则可以衡量吗提出一种绝对旳原则当然很困难；不过，大体上看一种人看待生命旳态度与否严厉认真，看他看待工作、生活旳态度怎样，也就不难对这个人旳存在意义做出合适旳估计了。
古来一切有成就旳人，都很严厉地看待自己旳生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多工作、多学习，不愿虚度年华，不让时间白白挥霍掉。我国历代旳劳感人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。
