27、ing which direction a telephone call comes from and communicating with the five senses are just some of the dreams of Japanese researchers who are looking for the mobile phone of the future._50_ for NTT DoCoMo, Japans leading mobile phone carrier, about 900 researchers in mobile communications, mult

28、imedia and network laboratories in Tokyo spend their days dreaming up applications of the future. And, its not just for fourth generation mobile telephone (4G), _51_ for 5G as well.“We are working on the five _52_. Smell and taste may be the most difficult,” said Toshio Miki, managing director of Do

29、CoMos multimedia laboratories.DoCoMos third generation service, FOMA, launched in October 2001, has a data transmission(传输) speed of 384 kilobits per second(kbps). That makes it _53_ to talk by video-link or to look at an Internet site while talking on the phone.DoCoMos next target is to achieve a _

30、54_ of 100 million bps for 4G by 2010. Researchers at Yokosuka show some of the functions they hope to _55_ in the same time frame.One of them would turn the mobile phone into a sort of tracking device to help find a friend in a _56_ public place, something for which current phones are of limited us

31、e.It consists of recreating the sense of directional sound with the help of GPS(Global Position System). The other _57_ voice would appear to come from the left or right, in front or behind to agree with the actual location in relation to the listener.If the function is one day incorporated(集成) into

32、 a commercial telephone receiver, it could make a three-way audio-conference more natural and _58_ and easier to follow.The voice of speaker in Hokkaido(北海道), northern Japan, for example, would appear to come from the _59_ for a person in Tokyo, and that of someone in southwestern Kyushu(九州) would a

33、ppear to come from somewhere to the south.When using the videophone, the user would get the impression that the sound was _60_ coming from the mouth of the person on the screen.The mobile carrier is also researching the ability to _61_ speech simply from the movement of facial muscles without the vo

34、icing of any sounds. The application could prove _62_ when silence needs to be kept, such as in a library or hospital, or where there is too much background noise.After three years, DoCoMo has succeeded in reproducing all five Japanese vowels(元音). Or it can do it on-screen by _63_ wires to the cheek

Reading Comprehension 35%Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several question or unfinished statements.

38、 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. （每小题2分）AJapanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most st

39、udents are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students because they are not gifted enough.As it is reported, a number of students killed themsel

40、ves. Others try to get the feeling of taking drugs. Some join the groups of trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hopes. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont wa

41、nt to go to school any longer. They become dropout.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. To make m

42、atters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those school opening in the evenings and weekends - they only help students to pass exams and never teach students any real sense of the world. It is a great surprise that almost three-quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of

43、schools.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them

44、 how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.65. Dropouts _.A. make troubles in and out of schoolsB. go about or stay home instead of being at schoolC. try hard but always fail in the examsD. lose hopes and drop some of their subjects6

45、6. Which of the following is Not True?A. Few students feel like heavy pressures.B. Heavy pressures may not be harmful to every child.C. Nothing is more important than school rules in Japan.D. Most parents only think about their childrens wonderful life.67. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The

46、Trouble in Japanese Schools B. The Problems of Japanese StudentsC. Education in JapanD. The Pressures of Being a Student in JapanBLondon (Reuter) -Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-o

47、ld computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.“Organic produce is always better,” Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal

48、, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why they are willing to pay a higher

49、 price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quart

50、ers of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market.” Said Sue Fock, a specialist in this line of business.68. More and more people in Britain are buying organic

51、 food because _. A. they are getting richer B. they can get the food anywhere C. they consider the food free of pollution D. they like home-grown fruit69. Which of the following statements is TRUE to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain? A. It grows indoors all year round.B. It is pr

52、oduced outside Britain. C. It is grown on family farms.D. It is produced on large farms.70. When the author said that more shoppers were “buying into the organic trend”, he was telling us that they were _? A. growing interest in organic foodB. seeking better quality of organic food C. asking the mar

53、ket for organic foodD. increasing prices of organic food71. What is the best title for this news story?A. Organic food-healthy, or just for the wealthy?B. The making of organic food in BritainC. Organic food-to import or not?D. Good qualities of organic foodC In tomorrows offices, there will be more

54、 bosses and fewer assistants. New technologies have made clerical work so efficient that fewer workers are necessary, so one assistant may serve several bosses. Bosses in the United States are spending twice as much time resolving employee disputes as they did just a decade ago. Corporate downsizing

55、 has made workers more insecure and competitive, increasing the number of personality conflicts that managers are forced to settle.Fighting age bias(偏见) may be a critical workplace issue of the future. As companies depend on older, more experienced workers to solve labor shortages in the next centur

56、y, managers will need to overcome the view that older workers are less productive, less flexible, and more expensive.Electronic networking will give more power to workers at the bottom of the corporate pecking order(等级排序).Computer networks allow employees to skip over chains of command and communica

57、te directly with senior managers. The relative anonymity (匿名) of electronic communications will make low-status individuals more relaxed about expressing their points of view and offering valuable new ideas.65. Who will reduce in number in future offices according to the passage? A. Bosses B. Secret

58、aries.C. Senior managers. D. Experienced workers73. According to the passage, the view that older workers are less productive and more expensive is _. A. right B. new C. old D. wise74. Corporate downsizing means _.A. workers get more poorly paidB. workers conduct less paper work C. the number of wor

59、kers is reduced D. the number of personality conflicts is decreased75. Because of the computer networks, _. A. experienced older workers are more competitive B. younger managers feel threatened C. low-status workers have more chances to express their views D. clerical work is more efficientDThe defi

60、nition of the standard kilogram is almost entirely wrong. Getting that definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use quantities such as speed or electric power. Al

61、l of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties（属性）that are beyond human control.For example, the standard second (time) is defined as a specific number of vibration（振动）of a type of radiation sent out by atoms of a special metal. The standard metre (

62、length), in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels under certain conditions.Not so the kilogram. This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder（铂铱合金筒）locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights & M

63、easures in Sevres, France, near Paris. Official bodies around the world have copies of the cylinder.Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about 20 parts per billion in weight compared to the master cyli

64、nder since the previous checkup in the 1940s. This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical quantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a speci

65、fic substance in a kilogram or the electromagnetic（电磁的）force that balances a kilogram mass against gravity. A project of the latter type at the laboratories in Gaithersburg, Md., hopes eventually to define mass by means of electrical units.So far, none of these redefinition projects has borne fruit.

66、 They require the very accuracy of measurement and control of experimental conditions. The slightest influence even a tiny change in weather can ruin results. Youve got to hand it to scientists who are willing to devote many years to such painstaking but extremely important research.76. Compared wit

67、h other basic units, the kilogram is _.A. as accurate as other basic unitsB. not universally accepted in the worldC. not defined according to natural propertiesD. defined in the same way as other basic units77. The author introduced the examination of copies of a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder in t

68、he 1980s to indicate that _.A. the causes of weight changes had been foundB. such kind of checks had been carried out regularlyC. the changes in weight challenged the definition of the kilogramD. the consequences of such changes were great in research78. According to the passage, to define the weigh

69、t of mass by means of electrical units _.A. is the only way to redefine the kilogram scientificallyB. has been accepted as the only possible redefinition projectC. is not as complicated as people understandD. has been considered by some scientists as a better approach79. Which of the following canno

70、t be concluded from the passage?A. Scientists will achieve success in redefining the kilogram in the near futureB. Some scientists are trying to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical quantities.C. The redefining of the standard kilogram is quite complicated and can be affected by a numbe

71、r of factors.D. A number of experiments are being carried out to redefine the kilogram.EDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need （每小题1分）A. Reduce Your StressB. Avoid Things That Wont Improve

72、 Your MoodC. Walk It OffD. Break Your Bad MoodE. Give Yourself An Encouraging TalkF. Tune It OutHaving one of those days or weeks - when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it mu

73、ch faster - often within a day or two.80. Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person whos in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.81. Listen to your favourite music for a whil

74、e can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences weve had.82. Stop and listen to whats on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper - the pessimistic message youve been giving yourself a

75、nd then give optimistic answers. (“I still dont have a job.” Vs “I have two interviews next week.”)83. Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated but arent. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and

76、picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize youre not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.84.TV ma

77、y not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind - something that the TV show “Neighbors” wont do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Resea

78、rch shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.第卷（共45分）I.

86、following passage. Mike Wilson worked as a low rank official in the War Office during the Second World War. Though he didnt hold an important position, he got along very well with almost everybody, and was believed in by most of his leaders.One day, Wilson arrived at his office in an expensive car.

87、Little as his pay was, he appeared to have got a lot of money to spend. He bought an expensive house and gave parties one after another. At one of the evening parties he met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. When he was asked by the woman one evening how he suddenly got so much money to s

88、pend, Wilson explained that he had a very rich uncle who lived abroad and posted him money nearly every month. But his story could not fool the woman. She was a policewoman and sent to watch him closely by acting his “girlfriend”, because the police had noticed that he often stayed behind in the eve

89、nings and was usually the last person to leave the War Office.His “girlfriend” and three other policemen entered his house when he was out and discovered copies of the government secret papers and a radio transmitter hidden inside a piano. After Wilson was caught, it was learned that his real name w

90、as Jack Brown, and that he had been hired as a spy for the Germans.(Now listen to it again, please.)Questions:11. When did the story take place?12. Which is true about Wilsons “girlfriend”?13. What was found out about Wilson at last?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. Not eve

91、rybody reads the daily newspaper. People who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as non-readers. Early research has shown that non-readers are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, non-readers are more likely to live in rural areas and ha

92、ve less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that non-readers who tend to isolate themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. Why dont these people read the daily paper? They say they dont have the time; they pref

93、er radio or TV; they have no interest in reading at all. And besides, they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the non-readers in more complicated than first thought. There appears to be a group of non-readers that does not fit the type me

94、ntioned above. They are high in income, and fall into the age group of 26-65. They are far more likely to report that they dont have the time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers are attempting to win them back. Now they are adding news briefs. This wil

95、l help overcome the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers interest. (Now listen to it again, please.)Questions:14. What is typical of non-readers according to the early reason?15. What are the findings of recent surveys?16. What are editors and

96、 publishers doing to attract the non-readers?Part C Longer ConversationsBlanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Id like to reserve two tickets to London on the eight oclock train for tomorrow morning.W: Eight oclock to London tomorrow.

In fact, all the seats on the limited express trains that go to London are booked up.M: But Im in a hurry.

98、W: Sorry, sir. Id like to help you, but I cant. You should make a reservation beforehand next time.M: How many days in advance?W: Usually one day in advance will do, but a lot of people like to go home over the weekend, so you had better make your reservation three days in advance.M: I should have t

99、hought of that before. Well, I guess Ill just have to take the local train.(Now listen to it again, please.)Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.M: What are you doing out here alone?W: Just looking at the lights. I like to look at the city night.M: Everybody is standing aroun

100、d the piano and singing. Dont you want to join us?W: Id rather stay out here for a few minutes.
