Passage 1
A nine year old schoolgirl single handedly cooks up a science fair experiment that ends up debunking(揭穿……的真相) a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa's target was a practice known as therapeutic(治疗的) touch (TT for short), whose advocates manipulate patients'
\"energy field\"to make them feel better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills. Yet Emily's test shows that these energy fields can't be detected, even by trained TT practitioners (行医者). Obviously mindful of the publicity value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared on TV to declare, \"Age doesn't matter. It's good science that matters, and this is good science.\"
Emily's mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse, has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade. Linda first thought about TT in the late '80s, when she learned it was on the approved list for continuing 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 inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until they' re in \"balance.\" TT advocates say these manipulations can help heal wounds, relieve Pain and reduce fever. The claims are taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired by leading hospitals, at up to $ 70 an hour, to smooth patients' energy, sometimes during surgery.
Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof,TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing--something they haven't been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He's had one taker so far. She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocent fourth grader? Says Emily:\"I think they didn't take me very seriously because I'm a kid.\"
The experiment was straight forward: 21 TT therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily held her own hand over one of theirs left or right and the practitioners had to say which hand it was. When the results were recorded, they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing. If there was an energy field, they couldn't feel it.
16. Which of 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. Very few 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. The purpose of Emily Rosa's experiment was ________. A) to see why TT could work the way it did B) to find out how TT cured patients' illnesses
C) to test whether she could sense the human energy field D) to test whether a human energy field really existed
19. Why did some TT practitioners agree to be the subjects of Emil'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. What can 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 2
Information is the primary commodity in more and more industries today.
By 2005, 83% of American management personnel will be knowledge workers. Europe and Japan are not far behind.
By 2005, half of all knowledge workers (22% of the labour force) will choose“flextime, flexplace”arrangements, which allow them to work at home, communicating with the office via computer networks.
In the United States, the so-called “digital divide”seems to be disappearing. In early 2000, a poll found, that, where half of white households owned computers, so did fully 43% of African-American households, and their numbers were growing rapidly. Hispanic households continued to lag behind, but their rate of computer ownership was expanding as well.
Company-owned and industry-wide television networks are bringing programming to thousands of locations. Business TV is becoming big business.
Computer competence will approach 100% in US urban areas by the year 2005, with Europe and Japan not far behind.
80% of US homes will have computers in 2005, compared with roughly 50% now.In the United States, 5 of the 10 fastest-growing careers between now and 2005 will be computer related. Demand for programmers and systems analysts will grow by 70%. The same trend is accelerating in Europe, Japan, and India.
By 2005, nearly all college texts and many high school and junior high books will be tied to Internet sites that provide source material, study exercises, and relevant news articles to aid in learning. Others will come with CD-ROMs that offer similar resources.
Internet links will provide access to the card catalogues of all the major libraries in the world by 2005. It will be possible to call up on a PC screen millions of volumes from distant libraries. Web sites enhance books by providing pictures, sound, film clips, and flexible indexing and search utilities.
Implications: Anyone with access to the Internet will be able to achieve the education needed to build a productive life in an increasingly high-tech world. Computer learning may even reduce the growing American prison population.
Knowledge workers are generally better paid than less-skilled workers. Their wealth is raising overall prosperity.
Even entry-level workers and those in formerly unskilled positions require a growing level of education. For a good career in almost any field, computer competence is a must. This is one major trend raising the level of education required for a productive role in today’s work force. For many workers, the opportunity for training is becoming one of the most desirable benefits any job
can offer.
21. Information technology is expected to have impact on all the following EXCEPT ____. A. American management personnel B. European management personnel C. American people’s choice of career D. traditional practice at work

IV. Directions: Translate the following into Chinese and write your translation next to the number of the problem on your answer sheet. (20%)
To ask for reasonable thought -- to ask for any individual thought -- is a very risky business. It means that what will finally be evaluated by the teacher is a projection of the student’s self, and, unless the student is that rare one who enters a writing class articulate, skilled and independently thoughtful, that part of the self tends to be particularly vulnerable.
No matter how often a writing teacher chants that “receiving a D grade doesn’t mean you are a D person,” students interpret a grade as a grade on their characters, and they react much like a calf whose flank is singed with a hot iron: bawling and kicking and protesting throatily against convention and authority, in their pained rage mistaking blue eyes for black ones.
No one likes to be told, or even have hinted at, that his mind is cluttered, untidy, disordered,
lacking purpose. Yet when I comment that an essay fails to meet the objectives the writer has set for it, that it dawdles from point to point without developing any one idea, I have the unpleasant task of pointing a finger at the clutter.
V. Directions: Translate the following into Chinese and write your translation next to the number of the problem on your answer sheet. (10%)
Lexical cohesion is often realized through reiteration which involves the repetition of a lexical item, the use of a general word to refer back to a lexical item and the use of a synonym, antonym, etc.
Grammatical cohesion is related to the concepts of reference, substitution and ellipsis.
Grammatical cohesion may also be realized through the use of conjunctive elements such as and, or, but, however, in fact, as a result, thus, on the contrary, at first…in the end, then, to sum up, etc. which help knit parts of a text together.
综合英语4模拟试卷1答案 I
1. Promises made by politicians are whatever happens to occur to their minds at the moment of speaking, and so have no rational basis. They are just hot air, and will never come true.
2. He puts his thoughts, etc. into his works or plays (he sends them into the outside world), but to understand them, the public must use their own intelligence.
3. The attraction of obscure writings to intellectual snobs has had a long history.
4. When the business firm is short of cash or has very limited cash for all these regular and necessary payments, even the strong-willed may suffer a physical or nervous breakdown.
5. Although we are repeatedly told that it is laudable, and easy too, to save even a dollar at a time, it actually takes enormous willpower for a person with a small income to do so.
6. If a wealthy person feels constantly insecure like that (i.e. he has insecurity feelings), it will certainly mean that deep down he has an insatiable desire for more and more money (i.e. he suffers inadequacy feelings). In other words, we can take it for sure that insecurity feelings and inadequacy feelings are always linked together: insecurity feelings are the outward manifestations of the more inner inadequacy feelings.
7. Our likeness (in spirit) develops over a long period of being engaged in the job/ comes from long experience of teaching writing.
8. Jukes was just like any of the other young mates/ was typical of the half-dozen young mates. If you want to get them to work, you can easily get hold of them and they are eager to work.
9. Although he tried to persuade himself that all this was not real, he did not feel any less worried. 10. But there is no reason to/ we should not criticize Aristotle in this way.

真正好的朋友，从来不需要这些表面功夫。走在这漫漫俗尘，形如微尘的我们，每天忙碌的像只蝼蚁，哪有时间去整那些虚假的表面文章。那些沉淀在岁月里的真情实意，哪一个不是无事各自忙，有事时，却又从不问回报几何的真心相助？ 至于那些平日里看上去可以一起打闹，一起吃喝，一起厮混，看似好成一片的人，或许，只是你在多少次的四目相对之时，动了真心，存了真义，是你默默认定对方可称朋友，有困难的时候是你愿意伸以援手，但未必对方一样。 多少看似热情的人，内心是薄情的。而多少看似淡漠的人，内心实则一片温热。那些表面热诚的人，总是相安无事各自好，一旦你有事需要援助，别说大事，就是小事需代劳，你都会发现原来不过情比纸薄，对方远比你自己想的要现实的多。 有些人，自从与你接近，内心就存有一份自己的打算。定是你于他而言，多少有些可用之处。正所谓无事献殷勤，非奸即盗。在这个功利心弥漫的世态下，没有哪一份意外的热情不无所图。不仅是职场如此，男人如此，就连女人也不能免俗。 接孩子的时候，被困高层电梯下不来，一个电话打来，希望能帮忙照看一下放学的孩子。实在的人总是把别人毫不见外的信任，当作是一种荣幸，于是想都不用想就能一口答应。可当你有事需要对方只是代笔签个字这样的举手之劳时，对方都能各种不情愿各种推脱，至此你终是发现，原来人与人之间真不是一杯换一盏的事儿。关键时刻，还是得找那些看似平时不联系，但一开口能力范围之内就愿意为你想办法的人。 多少人天真的以为，认识的人越多，人脉就越广，自己就越厉害，其实，那些所谓的人脉，不过廉价。倘若你没有同等的利用价值，谁会与你建立起所谓的交际？最是谈钱伤感情，也最是感情不值钱。别结识了比自己优秀比自己有能力的人，就觉得有了依靠有了光环，自己不足够优秀，结识谁都没有用。在你困难需求的时候，你开口求助，能够推脱敷衍那算给面子，对你闭门不见佯装不熟也是情理之中。
