Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Versailles is the site of the Palace of Versailles, one of the most storied buildings in the history of France. It was originally built as a hunting chateau by King Louis VIII in 1624. In 1669, King Louis XIV began searching for a grand site where he could conduct the affairs of France and control the government. He settled on the hunting palace and expanded it into the world’s largest palace. In addition, the King hoped to build a governmental center apart from Paris.
The palace took 36,000 workers fifty years to build. The palace is spread out over 280 acres and can house 20,000 people! The palace features over 700 rooms and 67 staircases. There are dozens of unique rooms, features, gardens, and halls. One of the most renowned rooms of the Palace of Versailles is the Hall of Mirrors. Recently restored, the Hall of Mirrors is the centerpiece of the dazzling building. Originally added to the palace in 1684, the Hall of Mirrors was built to be a dazzling display of the power and wealth of the French Monarchy. The hall, which measures 73 meters in length features 357 gold-coated stucco mirrors, ornate paintings, crystal chandeliers, marble fixtures, a parquet floor, and ceilings with colorful murals painted by artist Charles Le Brun. The Hall of Mirrors has also played a prominent role in history.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage :
“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‘go look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good. It’s time to start telling them no again.
26. Children are becoming more inactive in study because ________.
A) they watch TV too often
B) they have done too much homework
C) they have to fulfill too many duties
D) teachers are too strict with them
27. To such children as described in the passage ________.
A) it is easier to say no than to say yes
B) neither is easy – to say yes or to say no
C) it is easier to say yes than to say no
D) neither is difficult -- to say yes or say no
28. We learn from the passage that the author’s mother used to lay emphasis on ________.
A) learning Latin B) natural development
C) discipline D) education at school
29. By “permissive period in education” the author means a time ________.
A) when children are allowed to do what they wish to
B) when everything can be taught at school
C) when every child can be educated
D) when children are permitted to receive education
30. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A) parents should leave their children alone
B) kids should have more activities at school
C) it’s time to be stricter with our kids
D) parents should always set a good example to their kids
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.
When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say "hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.
Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
31. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________.
A. stop to talk to his friend B. just nod and say “hello”
C. shake hands with his friend D. just say goodbye
32. What will a person do when he attends a party run by older people?
A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.
B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.
C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.
D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.
33. On which occasion will the English toast?
A. A wedding reception. B. A dinner party.
C. A speech. D. A meeting.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.
B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.
C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.
D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students, impolite behaviors.
35. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.
B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.
C. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.
D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The news of the escape first got around on Sunday’s night. It threw the oldest son into anxiety, almost panic, possibly because he was old enough to know what it meant. The youngest didn’t seem to care: he was too young. Mrs. Birnam—an unimaginative mother, easy-going, busy with family matters—seemed to take the attitude that if danger was involved, it was danger to somebody else besides themselves. Don’s reaction, the middle son, was romantic; what a pity that it had happened forty miles away, and thus the consequent exciting danger or threat would never reach as far as their town of Arcadia. He was twelve at the time.
There had been a break at the state prison in Auburn. Six dangerous criminals had shot their way out and were even now –so everybody said – terrorizing the countryside, though no one had seen them since their rush to freedom after a wounded guard, at gun point, had raised the outer gate for their escape. They might equally have vanished off the face of the earth or hidden in somebody’s abandoned barn, too frightened to stir form their hiding places for weeks to come.
The news came to the Birnams inevitably (必然) form one of their neighbors over the telephone. There was no radio in those days but Mrs. Kirtle was just as good. By some mysterious gift she always managed to hear things before anybody else and immediately got on the phone or rushed across the back yards, ducking under clotheslines and knocking at kitchen door. “Pauline Revere,” the boys called her, and their mother suppressed (抑制) a smile and scolded them for disrespect.
36. How far was the prison from Arcadia?
A) Forty miles. B) Six miles.
C) Twelve miles. D)The selection doesn’t tell us.
37. Mrs. Birnam’s family learned of the news of the escape ________.
A) through Mrs. Kirtle B) over the radio
C) form the wounded guard D) by some mysterious gift
38. The boy’s attitude toward Mrs. Kirtle was one of ________.
A) tolerance B) impoliteness C) doubt D) kindness
39. The word “panic” (Para. 1, Line 2) most probably means ________.
A) achievement B) advance C) fear D) happiness
40. Which of the following statements in NOT TRUE?
A) The six criminals succeeded in escaping with much violence.
B) Mrs. Kirtle always kept herself informed about daily happenings in their neighborhood.
C) Mrs. Birnam thought that the news had nothing to do with her family.
D) Every member of the Birnams was thrown into a panic by the news.
Part III Translation (40%, 40 minutes)

41. Don't be in such a rush to get promoted either -- you have a long career life ahead of you to shoulder the heavy burden of being on top.
42. While recognizing our achievements, we must be well aware that they still fall short of the expectations of the people and that there are still quite a few difficulties and problems on our way forward.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The news of the escape first got around on Sunday’s night. It threw the oldest son into anxiety, almost panic, possibly because he was old enough to know what it meant. The youngest didn’t seem to care: he was too young. Mrs. Birnam—an unimaginative mother, easy-going, busy with family matters—seemed to take the attitude that if danger was involved, it was danger to somebody else besides themselves. Don’s reaction, the middle son, was romantic; what a pity that it had happened forty miles away, and thus the consequent exciting danger or threat would never reach as far as their town of Arcadia. He was twelve at the time.
There had been a break at the state prison in Auburn. Six dangerous criminals had shot their way out and were even now –so everybody said – terrorizing the countryside, though no one had seen them since their rush to freedom after a wounded guard, at gun point, had raised the outer gate for their escape. They might equally have vanished off the face of the earth or hidden in somebody’s abandoned barn, too frightened to stir form their hiding places for weeks to come.
The news came to the Birnams inevitably (必然) form one of their neighbors over the telephone. There was no radio in those days but Mrs. Kirtle was just as good. By some mysterious gift she always managed to hear things before anybody else and immediately got on the phone or rushed across the back yards, ducking under clotheslines and knocking at kitchen door. “Pauline Revere,” the boys called her, and their mother suppressed (抑制) a smile and scolded them for disrespect.
