1. Passage 17 Since we are social beings， the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses， from depression to heart disease， reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness， and the absence of such support makes poor health likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First， friends， relatives， and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second， other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third， we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally， other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid， material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems. Interpersonal relationships are important because( ).

A. 　they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease， etc.

4. Passage 20 Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkelely， California. As a system administrator， he kept a close eye on the records. One day， Stoll found something strange in the payment record. There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 worth of time and not paid for it. It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll had to a much bigger problem — that a hacker(黑客)had broken into Stoll‘s computer system. Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the system in Berkelely as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United States. Stoll had to keep track of the hacker‘s activities on the computer without the hacker‘s knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading， the telephone company was able to trace the lines. After a year， the hacker was traced back to his computer — in Germany. He was later caught by the German police. What did Stoll decide to do when he found the problem?

A. 　To report to the police.

B. 　To warn the telephone company.

C. 　To track down the hacker by himself.

D. 　To see what the hacker would do next.

2. Passage 8 Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years)， children are encouraged， but not forced， to ―leave the nest‖ and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children， nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses through other friends， at jobs， and in organizations and religious institutions. Although children choose their own spouses， they still hope their parents will approve of their choices. In many families， parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father‘s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father‘s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family. Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence. Most young adults in the U.S. get married for the sake of .

A. 　 love

B. 　 financial concern

C. 　 their parents

D. 　 family background

1. Passage 16 Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people， but I also explain that there‘s a big difference between ―being a writer‖， and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame， not the long hours alone at a typewriter. ―You‘ve got to want to write，‖ I say to them， ―not want to be a writer.‖ The reality is that writing is a lonely， private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune， there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer， I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a place in a New York apartment building. It didn‘t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so， however， I still hadn‘t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn‘t going to be one of those people who die wondering – what if I would keep putting my dream to the last even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope， and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. The passage is meant to .

A. 　 warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience

B. 　 advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

C. 　 show young people it‘s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame

D. 　 encourage young people to pursue a writing career

153.Such people shouldn‘t be( )into the party.

A. 　permitted

B. 　 admitted

C. 　 allowed

6、Translation 6 For most undergraduates， non-stop Internet is the fuel of college life. More than just toys， these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of every kind of information. And as more people around the world adopt these instruments， they are becoming indispensable. So， students should use the Internet to do homework， review lecture outlines， take part in class discussions and network online with their friends. But in doing so， students must remember to regulate and balance their time. Too much time online can mean too little time in real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends.
