Part IV Reading Comprehension (40 marks)
Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Section A (10 marks)
Questions 56—60 are based on the following passage.
The average automatic teller machine (ATM) is not very smart . It will give money to anyone who has the right card and punches four or ive keys in the right order . Some analysts estimate that as many 30% of ATM trasactions wordwide are case of theft . To increase security at cash manches , some banks have tried to make their ATMs a little smarts . A small camera on the manches loks directly into the eye of every customer . It scans one iris and compares the tiny patterns of ridges , dots , and other features to a code in its computer .If there is a match , the ATM will start counting out cash . If not, a message is automatically sent to the nearest police station.
Iris-scanning is one fast-growing form of biomentric identification-determining who someone is by examing features of the body. One of the earliest biometric techniques was fingerprinting. The lines on fingertips are unique to each person , so not even identical twins have the same fingerprints. Fingerprinting has become famous as a way of finding out who committed a crime , but it very often fails .A careful criminal can wear gloves , avoid
touching things , or even alter his fingerprints by burning , cutting , or scraping them . In the search for a more reliable system , security experts have focused on the eye.
Like a fingerprint, every iris is , for all practical perpos e , unque .Each person’s right iris is even different from hie or er left one . A low-cost digital camera , like the kind installed at ATM machines , can easily detect hundreds of different features in the iris. The chance of two irises having the same features is close to zero. Test have shown that iris-scanners are very hard fool. They can tell the difference between a real iris and a false ne. They can see right through coloured contact lenses, eyeglasses , and even mirroed sunglasses .Although many criminals are willing to burn or cut their fingers in pursuit of the perfect crime ,few would be willing or able to alter their irises.
To make iris-scanning work, a computerized database has to match certain iris featyres with certain people.This means that each ATM customer has to allow a bank to photograph his or her iris and keep that highly personal information in a computer .Some people have worried, however ,that a increased use of iris-scanning will lead to a dangerous loss of privacy. By mounting iris-scan cameras in public places, governments could track a private citizen all day long without the person’s knowledge .This would be a gre at advantage to the police ,but it could also give corrupt officials a new way to control their opponents. The military’s development of tiny robots suggests that government iris-scanners could even invade private homes!
Questions 56—60
Conplete the summary with words from the message , changing the form where necessary , with only one word for each blank.
ATM transactions are often cases of theft, where an unauthorized user takes
(56)________.To decrease insecurity , some banks have installed iris-scanning machines at ATMs. These small cameras scan the user’s iris, recording its features and
(57)________them to a digital file Every person has a (58)________iris, making iris identificationnhighly reliable . Earlier efforts at biometric identification often relied on fingerprints. However, fingerprints can easily be(59)________through cutting , burning or scraping . Iris scanners are so effective that they can even see through contact lenses and mirrored sunglasses. Use of iris scanners would provide great advantages to the police . However , others worry about a loss of (60)___________.
Section B (10 marks)
Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.
Seed catalogues feature hundreds of different flowering species. For the person just beginning a garden this can be bewildering ,and below are the details of some popular choices, nearly all of which should be sown in the spring . With the exception of busy lizzies , which need a little car, they are all very easy to grow from seed.
Dahlias
These are sturdy plants bearing showy flowers in a wide range of rather gaudy colours . Sow in a frame in April and plant the seedling out when frosts are over . Dahlias flower
throughout the summer and into the autumn .When autumn frosts begin to make them look
unhappy , you should dig up the tuberous roots and save them . A frosts-free loft, shed or
garage is the ideal place. The following spring you plant the instead of seed again.
Lupins
Lupins are hardy perennials. This means that the plants will stay in your garden and
carry on flowering year after year. Seed sown in April will usually give you some spikes of
olours in the first summer, and year by year the plants get bigger and flowering stems get
taller and grander . Selective breeding has led to the introduction of some fine, bicoloured
varieties in some dazzling shades . The short-lived flowers make a real midsummer spectacle.
Busy lizzies
Like dahlias , busy lizzes need to be started off
under glass, as they cannot stand frost , and planting
out is the best done in May. Outdoor flowering ends
in September , so beat the frost and bring your
favourite specimens indoors to give your home
some sinter colour! Indoors they will carry on
flowering indefinitely , though you may like to plant
them out again when spring returns. Like
pansies(below) they do very well in sun or shade ,
but the soil must be moist. Most varieties grow to a
height of only 20 cm or so.
Potenillas
Potenillas are hardy shrubs. In other words , the woody branches spring from groud
level-there is no central trunk. The seed is probabky best sown in autumn, in which case you
should keep the plants in a sheltered spot until April offers favourable conditions for planting
out. One flowering begins in early summer the best varieties (such as Melton Fire) will stay in
blom almost ceaselessly for years on end while at the same time spreading out to provide
ground cover or a low hedge.
Pansies
Pansies have a good long flowering season year after year , and some varieties can be
sown in spring to give truly splendid the first autumn . Unlike dahlias and lupins , which can
easily grow a metre tall , pansies grow no higher than 10 or 20 cm. Their soil , position and
moisture requirements are just like those of busy lizzes but differ in bring hardy. Give them a
try!
Questions 61—63
Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
61. Both dahlias and lupins, which are sown in April , need protecting from frost.
62. Brought indoors in autumn , dahias , busy lizzies and peotentillas will carry on flowering
almost non-stop.
63.Among all the flowers busy lizzies are not very easy to grow from seed..
Questions 64—65
Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.
64. What is the difference between busy lizzies and pansies?
65. Which plant has the longest gap between sowing and flowering?
Section C (10 marks)
Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.
When looking for love , people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends . They might write personal ads to p;ace in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have been tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including the Bachelor and Who to Marry a Multimllionaire ? Have proved to be rating blockbusters, with millions of viewers watching each week to find out which the contestants will find true love.
Of all these game shows , perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right , which was shown in England in 2002 . On the show , a bachelor , thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-Wright , dated fifteen women to find the one who was his ideal partner. The host of the show was Ulrika Jonsson, an English celebrity originally from Sweden. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright took turns going on dates with each of the women , taking them to expensive and exotic locations. He even met women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of episode , he would choose between one and three of the contestants with whom he had felt the least compatiable , and say goodbye to them.
At one point during the series , one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn’t find him attractive . After two dates she said she had had enough , and she couldn’t see it working , ―He wasn’t my cup of tea.‖ In another episode the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another constant’s name. ―you called me by another girl’s name. I can’t believe you did that. I really liked you ,‖ she sobbed.
But in the final episode , the woman he eventually chose decided she didn’t want to carry him after all . ―I think you’ve chosen me because you have to chose someone ,‖ she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love—with the show’s host!
After leaving the show , Gerrard—Wright and Jonsson were seen dining together and attending parties around London more and more often. Finally , on May 1, 2003, Gerrard—
Wright proposed to Jonsson on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral. And she accept his proposal right away , although it was a conditional acceptance. Jonsson has two children from previous relationships----an eight –year-old son , Cameron , and a two-year-old daughter , Bo. She had to make sure that they agreed to the marriage . Luckily, they did. Gerrard-Wright said ,‖In the end the show did work for me . I grabbed an opportunity to get a girlfriend and I did . Ulrika’s gorgeous.‖

Section D (10 marks)
Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.
Alaska is disappearing slowly but surely. Since the 1950s, it is estimated that as much as 15 percent of Alaska’s area has disappeared. But how can a whole state be disappearing?
One reason for Alaska’s gradual disappearance is the melting of its glaciers. According to one geologist as the US Geological Survey, about 98 percent of Alaska’s glaciers are either unmoving or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures. Since the 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by 5F. Furthermore, the average winter temperature has increased by 8F. Presently, an estimated 24 cubic miles of ice is disappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be more in the near future, as some scientists predict that the average word temperature could go up 2.5 to 10F by the year 2100.
Another problem contributing to Alaska’s gradual disappearance is its thawing permafrost. (74)Much of the land in Alaska was permanently frozen, or frozen for most of year, thus maintaining its integrity. Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of problems on the land. Roads and utility poles are collapsing. Also , the hard permafrost which originally prevented beaches from eroding during violent storms is now melting. Affected villages are forced to relocate. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storms could wipe out the entire community.
The melting permafrost and increasing temperature are laso having a native impact on the forest of Alaska. As the permafrost under the forests melts , increase that normally don’t turn up until the warmer season are appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example , is increasing in number as a result of global warming. It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow and reoroduce in very could weather. However , due to the increase in temperatures , spruce-bark are damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged in two. At this rate, Alaska’s forest won’t survive the turn of the century.
Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in wether temperature. Whether the rising temperatures are caused by human activity or nature changes, the fact remains that Alaska is warming . Some others argue that global warming may be a mormal trend on the Earth’s chart. (75) One theory argues that we are the end of a so-called ―Little Ice Age‖, and the retreat of the glaciers is a nature result of this cycle. Whether natural or produce by humans, there is little hope for immediate future of glaciers as we know them. Horribly , this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the world in the next cenury.
Questions 71—73
Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.
71. What are disappearing in Alaska actually?
72. How much ice is melting each year according to the survey?
73. Why do insects damage more trees than before?
Questions 74—75
Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.
74. Much of the land in Alaska was permanently frozen, or frozen for most of year, thus maintaining its integrity

全国大学生英语竞赛C类资料整理 Part I听力 特别注意：听力内容均是只播放一遍！ Section A 5段短对话，分别1个小问题。 Section B 2段长对话，分别5个小问题。 前两部分的长短对话难度其实不是很大，主要是尽快让自己进入状态，听力只有一遍，上一题没听到，就赶紧猜一个，千万不要影响后面的题目。 Section C 5段短新闻，分别1个小问题，内容均是摘自BBC或VOA的新闻。 现在只剩下一个月时间，要大家一直对着BBC或是VOA广播听也不是办法，建议大家上沪江英语学习的BBC或VOA小组，里面的内容一般都是筛选过的，每天听一些，熟悉一下英美人士的发音就好。 Section D 1段长文章，共有10个空格，注意要填写的可能是单词也可能是短语。 最后就是关于考听力的一些提示，毕竟英语竞赛的听力考试是播放录音的，各考场分配到的带子质量不一，考场环境有好有坏。假设你实在太倒霉了，带子播放不清晰，环境吵杂（监考老师也很可能帮不了你，因为大多监考老师不是英语老师），也不要心慌，冷静下来尽量听到关键词，加上自己的大胆猜测，蒙对的概率也是很大的。 情景词汇大归纳 在学校：grade 等级；mark 分数；semester 学期；assignment 作业；lecture 演讲，讲稿；scholarship 奖学金；test 测试；vacation 假期；credit学分；quiz小测验；top student 优等生 在医院：medicine 药；injection 注射；diagnose 诊断；prescription 处方；patient 病人；ache 疼痛；stomachache 胃疼，肚子痛；toothache 牙痛；headache 头痛；high fever 发高烧；sore throat 嗓子痛；mumps 腮腺炎；measles 麻疹；lung cancer 肺癌；liver cancer 肝癌；heart attack 心脏病发作；physician 内科医生；surgeon 外科医生；pediatrician 儿科医生；vet 兽医；recovery (from) （病后）痊愈，恢复；operation 手术; doctor 医生；nurse 护士；ward 病房;emergency-ward 急诊病房；cough 咳嗽; temperature 体温；blood pressure 血压； 在宾馆: reception desk 接待处；front desk 前台；vacant room 空房；single room 单人间；double room双人间；reserve/book 预定；check in 登记住入；check out 结帐离开；porter 行李搬运工；tip 小费；full 客满；room service 房间服务部，服务到屋 在商店：bargain 便宜货；receipt 收据；cashier 出纳；shop assistant 售货员；salesclerk 店员；fake commodities 假冒伪劣商品；size 尺寸；color 颜色；style 式样; price 价格；guarantee 保修; expiration period 保质期；after-sale service售后服务；fashion 时髦，时尚；cheap 便宜的；expensive 昂贵的；counter 柜台 在机场：flight 航班；passport 护照；visa 签证；board 登机；reservation 预约；airhostess 空中小姐；pilot 飞行员；duty-free shop 免税店；airport 机场 在餐馆：waiter 服务员；waitress 女服务员；order 点菜；menu 菜单；bill 帐单；drink 饮料；soft drink 不含酒精的饮料；salad 色拉；soup 汤；dessert 甜点；roast beef 烤牛肉；pork 猪肉；mutton 羊肉；lamb 羔羊肉；chicken 鸡肉；fish 鱼肉；steak 牛排；go Dutch 各付各的，AA制；on the house 免费； It is my treat (it’s on me)我请客 在法院：sue 控告；legal 合法的；accuse 控告；the accused /defendant 被告；the plaintiff /accuser 原告；charge 控诉；convict 宣告有罪；client 委托人，当事人；judge 法官；sentence 判刑；imprisonment 关押，监禁；capital punishment 死罪；death penalty 死刑

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) For investors who desire low risk and guaranteed income, US government bonds are a secure investment because these bonds have the financial backing and full faith and credit of the federal government. Municipal bonds, also secure, are offered by local governments and often have___ 36___such as tax-free interest. Some may even be___37___. Corporate bonds are a bit more risky. Two questions often___38___first-time corporate bond investors. The first is “If I purchase a corporate bond, do I have to hold it until the maturity date?” The answer is no. Bonds are bought and sold daily on___39___securities exchanges. However, if you decide to sell your bond before its maturity date, you’re not guaranteed to get the face value of the bond. For example, if your bond does not have___40___ that make it attractive to other investors, you may be forced to sell your bond at a___ 41___, i.e., a price less than the bond's face value. But if your bond is highly valued by other investors, you may be able to sell it at a premium, i. e ., a price above its face value. Bond prices generally___42___inversely (相反地) with current market interest rates. As interest rates go up, bond prices fall, and vice versa (反之亦然）. Thus, like all investments, bonds have a degree of risk. The second question is “ How can I___43___the investment risk of a particular bond issue?” Standard & Poor's and Moody’s Investors Service rate the level of risk of many corporate and government bonds. And___44___, the higher the market risk of a bond, the higher the interest rate. Investors will invest in a bond considered risky only if the 45 return is high enough. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。
