You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

　　Passage One

　　Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　As prices and building costs keep rising, the“do-it-yourself”(DIY) trend (趨勢)in the U.S. continues to grow.

　　“We needed furniture for our living room,”says John Ross,“and we just didn't

　　have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago, and like many young people, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night schoo1. Now they build al1 their furniture and make repairs around the house.

　　Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a ful1-time job at home as we1l as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bi1l for $420.“I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

　　John and Jim are not unusua1 people. Most families in the country are doing

　　everything they can to fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself', you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that te11 you how you can do things yourself.

　　A) makes shoes in his home B) does extra work at night

　　C) does his own car and home repairs D) keeps house and 1ooks after his children

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 6 to l0 are based on the following passage:

　　Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-1over

　　or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become to ta11y unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irritable, although this method of selecting ought not to be fo11owed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become 1ost in some book or other, and usua11y it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment--- without buying a book, of course.

　　The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main

　　attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant wi11 approach you with the greeting:“Can I help you, sir?” You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background unti1 you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and 1ook as if he is not interested in se11ing a single book.

　　6. The best title for this passage may be_ .

　　A) The Attraction of Bookshops B) How to spend Your Time

　　C) Bookshops and Their Assistants D) Buying Books

　　7. According to the author, the best way to escape the realities of everyday life is .

　　A) to chat with an assistant in a bookshop

　　B) to take a walk in the streets

　　C) to make some appointment in a bookshop

　　D) to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop

　　8. In a good bookshop, _.

　　A) a11 the books there are interesting

　　B) you are satisfied

　　C) you can find a shelter from a shower

　　D) you need to buy something you don't want

　　9. An assistant in a bookshop helps you .

　　A) on your entering the shop

　　B) just before you finish reading

　　C) only when you want to find out where a particular section is

　　D) when you are reading

　　10. According to the passage, which of the fo11owing statements is TRUE?

　　A) Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable only for book-1overs.

　　B) There are only a few places where it is possible to escape the realities of life.

　　C) People go to bookshops only to buy books.

　　Passage Four

Only once in a while do we give up and look up the word in a dictionary. But this is not laziness; it's a good way to learn.

　　The words we learn through reading wil1 improve not just our reading vocabulary but our listening, speaking and writing vocabulary as we11. It is these four types of vocabulary that have a direct impact upon our daily lives. They control how well we understand what we hear and read and how well we speak and write.

　　Part V Translation from English into Chinese (15%,3 points each)

　　Directi0ns: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 81 t0 85 After reading the passage carefu11y, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Answer Sheet.

　　81.0f a11 the wonders of the universe. the most striking,perhaps,is life itself.

　　Just what is life? There is no direct answer. We know, of course, that some things are living and others are nonliving. 82.How do you tell whether one thing is living and the other is nonliving?

　　One important difference is that practically all living things are made up largely of a complex substance called protoplasm, which is arranged in units known as cells. To study protoplasm is to study life. All the activities of living things take place in this substance.

　　A second point of difference between living and nonliving things is that living things display irritability. 83. By this we mean that they respond to changes in the environment.

　　84. Living things again differ from nonliving things in the way of growth. Things that are nonliving can grow only by accretion. On the other hand, a living thing, like a child, develops by taking into its body food that is chemically different from itself, changing this food chemically and making it a part of itself

　　85. Finally, living things have the ability to reproduce their kind.Nonliving things do not have this property.
