Compound Dictation The human body is a remarkable foodprocessor. As an adult, you may consumer (S1) ___________ a ton of food peryear and still not gain or lose a pound of body weight. You are (S2)______________ harnessing and consuming energy through the intricate (S3)______________ of your body in order to remain in energy balance. to (S4)________________ a given body weight, your energy input must balance yourenergy output. However, sometimes the (S5) _____________ energy balance isupset, and your (S6) ___________________ body weight will either fall or (S7) ______________. The term body image refers to the mentalimage we have of our won physical appearance, and (S8)_______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________. Research hasrevealed that about 40 percent of adult men and 55 percent of adult women aredissatisfied with their current body weight (S9) _______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________. At the collegelevel, a study found that 85 percent of both male and female first-yearstudents desired to change their body weight.

Thinness iscurrently an attribute that females desire highly. Males generally desiremuscularity. The vast majority of individuals who want to change their bodyweight do it for the sake of appearance; most want to lose excess body fatwhile a smaller percentage of individuals actually want to gain weight. Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Direction: There are 4 passages in this part. Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the center. Passage One Questions 11 to 15 are based on thefollowing passage: Birds that are literally half-asleep—withone brain hemisphere alert and the other sleeping—control which side of thebrain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks. Earlier studies have documented half-brainsleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking intothe sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by thesleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays openand alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Earlier studies have documented half-brainsleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking intothe sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by thesleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays openand alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once. Decades of studies of bird flocks ledresearchers to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable, end-of-the-rowsleepers, Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side awayfrom their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gazedirection. Also, birds dozing（打盹）at the end of the line resorted to single-hemisphere sleep, ratherthan total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birdsthrough the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found outer birdshalf-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about 12 percent forbirds in internal spots. “We believe this is the first evidence foran animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously indifferent regions of the brain,” the researchers say. The results provide the best evidence fora long-standing supposition that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creaturesscanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout sidecould be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds dozingside-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by mirror. The mirror-sideeye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open. Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’sonly been found in birds and such water mammals（哺乳动物）as dolphins, whales, andseals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal tosurface occasionally to avoid drowning. Studies of birds may offer unique insightsinto sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UGLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brainsleep “is just the tip of the iceberg（冰山）”. He speculates that more examples may turn up when we take acloser look at other species. 11. A new study on birds’ sleep has revealed that____________. A)birds can control their half-brain sleep consciously B)birds seldom sleep with the whole of their brain at rest C)half-brain sleep is found in a wide variety of birds D)half-brain sleep is characterized by slow brain waves 12. Accordingto the passage, birds often half sleep because ______________. A)they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions B)the two halves of their brain are differently structured C)they have to watch out for possible attacks D)their brain hemisphere take turns to rest 13. Theexample of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates that _____________. A)birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of security B)the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs is widespread C)a single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror D)even an imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security 14. While sleeping, somewater mammals tend to keep half awake in order to __________. A)avoid being swept away by rapid currents B)emerge from water now and then to breathe C)alert themselves to the approaching enemy D)be sensitive to the ever-changing environment 15. By“just the tip of the iceberg” (Line 2, Para.8), Siegel suggests that____________. A)half-brain sleep is a phenomenon that could exist among other species B)most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers C)the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved D)half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather Passage Two Questions 16 to 20 are based on thefollowing passage: A nine-year-old schoolgirl single-handedlycooks up a science-fair experiment that ends up debunking（揭穿．．．的真相）a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa’s target was apractice known as therapeutic（治疗）touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients’ “energyfield” to make them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of variousills. Yet Emily’s test shows that these energy fields can’t be detected, evenby trained TT practitioners（行医者）. Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appearedon TV to declare, “Age doesn’t matter. It’s good science that matters, and thisis good science.” Emily’s mother Linda Rosa, a registerednurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade. Linda first thoughtabout TT in the late ’80s, when she learned it was on the approved list forcontinuing nursing education in Colorado.Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U.S.)don’t even touch their patients. Instead, they waved their hands a few inchesfrom the patient’s body, pushing energy fields around until they’re in“balance.” TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relievepain and reduce fever. The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapistsare frequently hired by leading hospitals, at up to $70 an hour, the smoothpatients’ energy, sometimes during surgery. Yet Rosacould not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof, TT therapistswould have to sit down for independent testing—something they haven’t beeneager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyonewho can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He’s had one takerso far. She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraidto lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocentfourth-grader? Says Emily: “I think they didn’t take me very seriously becauseI’m a kid.” The experiment was straightforward: 21 TTtherapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily held her ownhand over one of theirs—left or right—and the practitioners had to say whichhand it was. When the results were recorded, they’d done no better than theywould have by simply guessing. if there was an energy field, they couldn’t feelit. 16. Whichof the following is evidence that TT is widely practiced? A)TT has been in existence for decades. B)Many patients were cured by therapeutic touch. C)TT therapists are often employed by leading hospitals. D)More than 100,000 people are undergoing TT treatment. 17. Veryfew TT practitioners responded to the $1 million offer because ____________. A)they didn’t take the offer seriously B)they didn’t want to risk their career C)they were unwilling to reveal their secret D)they thought it was not in line with their practice 18. Thepurpose of Emily Rosa’s experiment was ____________. A)to see why TT could work the way it did B)to find out how TT cured patient’s illness C)to test whether she could sense the human energy field D)to test whether a human energy field really existed 19. Whydid some TT practitioners agree to be the subjects of Emily’s experiment? A)It involved nothing more than mere guessing. B)They thought it was going to be a lot of fun. C)It was more straightforward than other experiments. D)They sensed no harm in a little girl’s experiment. 20. Whatcan we learn from the passage? A)Some widely accepted beliefs can be deceiving. B)Solid evidence weighs more than pure theories. C)Little children can be as clever as trained TT practitioners. D)The principle of TT is too profound to understand. Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on thefollowing passage: What might driving on an automated highwaybe like? The answer depends on what kind of system is ultimately adopted. Twodistinct types are on the drawing board. The first is a special—purpose lanesystem, in which certain lanes are reserved for automated vehicles. The secondis a mixed traffic system: fully automated vehicles would share the road withpartially automated or manually driven cars. A special-purpose land systemwould require more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, butit promises the greatest gains in freeway（高速公路）capacity. Under either scheme, the driver wouldspecify the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer inthe car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before reaching theautomated highway. If a mixed traffic system was in place, automated drivingcould begin whenever the driver was on suitably equipped roads. Ifspecial-purpose lanes were available, the car could enter them and joinexisting traffic in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp（入口引道）. As the driver approached the point of entry for the highway,devices installed on the roadside would electronically check the vehicle todetermine its destination and to ascertain that it had the proper automationequipment in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the driverwould then be guided through a gate and toward an automated lane. In this case,the transition from manual to automated control would take place on theentrance ramp. An alternative technique could employ conventional lanes, whichwould be shared by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer ontothe highway and move in normal fashion to a “transition” lane. The vehiclewould then shift under computer control onto a lane reserved for automatedtraffic. (The limitation of these lanes to automated traffic would, presumably,be well respected, because all trespassers（非法进入者）could be swiftly identifiedby authorities.) Either approach to joining, a lane ofautomated traffic would harmonize the movement of newly entering vehicles withthose already traveling. Automatic control here should allow for smoothmerging, without the usual uncertainties and potential for accidents. and oncea vehicle had settled into automated travel, the drive would be free to releasethe wheel, open the morning paper or just relax. 21. We learn from the firstparagraph that two systems of automated highways __________. A)are being planned B)are being modified C)are now in wide use D)are under construction 22. Aspecial-purpose lane system is probably advantageous in that ________________. A)it would require only minor changes to existing highways B)it would achieve the greatest highway traffic efficiency C)it has a lane for both automated and partially automated vehicles D)it offers more lanes for automated vehicles 23. Whichof the following is true about driving on an automated highway? A) Vehiclestraveling on it are assigned different lanes according to their destinations. B)A car can join existing traffic any time in a mixed lane system. C) The drivershould inform his car computer of his destination before driving onto it. D)The driver should share the automated lane with those of regular vehicles. 24. We know form the passagethat a car can enter a special-purpose lane __________. A)by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional lane B)by way of a ramp with electronic control devices C)through a specially guarded gate D)after all trespassers are identified and removed 25. Whendriving in an automated lane, the driver ___________. A)should harmonize with newly entering cars B)doesn’t have to rely on his computer system C)should watch out for potential accidents D)doesn’t have to hold not to the steering wheel Passage Four Questions 26 to 30 are based on thefollowing passage: Taking charge of yourself involves puttingto rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion thatintelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read,write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly.This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence asthe true measures of self-fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectualprejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come tobelieve that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good atsome form of school discipline is “intelligent.” Yet mental hospitals arefilled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. Atruer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day andeach present moment of every day. If you are happy, if you live each momentfor everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solvingis a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inabilityto resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, orat a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You areintelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B.D—Nervous Break Down. “Intelligent” people do not have N. B.D.’s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choosehappiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems oftheir lives. You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on thebasis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The lifestruggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involvedwith other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties.Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to behuman. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters andaccidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings.But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression andunhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N. B. D.Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happinessby an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know;also, the most rare. 26. According to the author,the conventional notion of intelligence measured in terms of one’s ability toread, write and compute _____________. A)is a widely held but wrong concept B)will help eliminate intellectual prejudice C)is the root of all mental distress D)will contribute to one’s self-fulfillment 27. Itis implied in the passage that holding a university degree _____________. A)may result in one’s inability to solve complex real-life problems B)does not indicate one’s ability to write properly worded documents C)may make one mentally sick and physically weak D)does not mean that one is highly intelligent 28. Theauthor thinks that an intelligent person knows _____________. A)how to put up with some very prevalent myths B)how to find the best way to achieve success in life C)how to avoid depression and make his life worthwhile D)how to persuade others to compromise 29. Inthe last paragraph, the author tells us that _____________. A)difficulties are but part of everyone’s life B)depression and unhappiness are unavoidable in life C)everybody should learn to avoid trying circumstances D)good feelings can contribute to eventual academic excellence 30. Accordingto the passage, what kind of people are rare? A)Those who don’t emphasize bookish excellence in their pursuit of happiness. B)Those who are aware of difficulties in life but know how to avoid unhappiness. C) Those whomeasure happiness by an absence of problems but seldom suffer form N. B. D.’s. D) Those who areable to secure happiness though having to struggle against tryingcircumstances. Part III Vocabularyand Structure (20minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
