The study of Fudan University, one of Chinas top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dantes “Follow your own path and dont worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in childrens growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.46.The study shows _.Awhich university should have mottoes   Bwhat poems are popularChow many students like the motto “Believe yourself.”Dthe majority of the students like to choose their favorite mottoes47.Of the students asked, _ students have mottoes.Aabout 78%   Babout 57%       Cabout 16%       Dabout 8%48.The motto “Self-improvement without stop” shares the similar meaning with _.Agoing on to improve rapidly   Bgrowing by oneself continuouslyCmaking oneself better and perfect continuously  Dbecoming better without having a break49.The best title for the passage should be _.AMottoes and Character Developing    BStudents and PoetCMottoes and Learning              DUnderstanding CareBInternational Studies (BA)Key features Recognizes the “global community”（國際社會） Has close connections with practical research Much of the teaching is done in small discussion groupsAbout the course The course gives you chances to know great power polities between nation states.

S.A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadgetunder the name of Bowlingualin U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan."We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product," the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制臺) that is connected to a database (數(shù)據(jù)庫). The console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state.Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反復(fù)無常) , " the marketing manager said.54. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual _.A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quicklyC. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price55. The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _.A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats66. When was this passage most probably published?A. In the winter of 2002.     1B. In the spring of 2003.C. In the summer of 2002.    D. In the autumn of 2003.67. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is _ the sale of its new product.A. proud of    B. satisfied with    C. confident of    D. worried aboutDThe following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological （地質(zhì)學(xué)的）Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today .Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt（噴發(fā)）in 1991 ?A: Volcanoes （火山）each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years .Q: So nothing caused it ?A: Theres nothing out of the ordinary . If you were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that .Q: What is “the ring of fire” ?A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the worlds volcanoes lie .Q: Why such a concentration（集中）there ?A: Thats based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma（熔巖）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .58. What kind of writing do you think this passage is ?AA text taken from a geography book .  BAn interview published in the press .CA conversation carried out in a film .  DAn oral test recorded as an example .59. Which of the following statements can correctly explain why we have so many volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean ?AThe movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible.BThe Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere.CThe oceans and the continents are separated from each other.DThe earths surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part.60.Barbara Reynolds main purpose here is          .Ato show how dangerous volcanoes are to the worldBto learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruptionCto warn the world of the existence of “the ring of fire”Dto introduce some general idea of volcanoes to the public61. Which of the following can be considered as the best conclusion of the conversation?AThere are so many volcanoes in the world and we are always in danger.BVolcanoes have erupted more frequently than ever before.CVolcanoes are waiting to be better known.DSomething must be done to protect the people near the ring of fire. IV. 單詞拼寫1.
