Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Passage One
The modern village of Apollonia is on the coast, sixteen kilometers north of Cyrene. It is reached by a delightful road that drops down 700 meters over two huge “steps” of rock to the sea.
Tourists go down to Apollonia in the afternoon, after they have spent the morning in Cyrene. Both places were cities long ago, and they are full of interesting and beautiful ruins. There is more to be seen in Cyrene — on the ground, you understand. If you want to know the excitement of an underwater city, Apollonia is the place.
Some ruins of Apollonia are on the mainland. Some are on an island a thousand meters from the short. The rest now lie between, under eight or ten meters of water. The sea is warm, seldom rough. It is often almost as clear as glass.
On a still day, then, swim out towards the island. Swim under water as much as you can, with your eyes open. Look down.
First you see a street, with houses and shops on both sides. Their roofs have fallen in, but the walls are standing. Some shops have a big stone table — a counter perhaps ？C and stone shelves. At the end of this street you come to a square. It has a wide pavement all around, and some buildings open directly on to the pavement. Were they cafes? Did the waiters put tables and chairs on the pavement in summer long ago?
Over two thousand years ago the king of Egypt visited the city. He brought his daughter Cleopatra with him. She was ten years old at the time, and her father built a huge swimming bath for her. You can still see Cleopatra's Bath, behind the cafes in the square. And you will not be surprised to hear that it is still full of water!
16. How far is the underwater city Apollonia away from Cyrene?
A) About 16 kilometers. C) About 700 kilometers.
B) About 1,000 kilometers. D) About 8 to 10 kilometers.
17. What do we learn from the passage?
A) Cyrene’s underwater sights are very interesting.
B) Apollonia’s underwater ruins make the tourists excited.
C) The underwater city has only one part.
D) The ruins of the underwater city are all on an island.
18. What did the king of Egypt do when he visited the city with is ten-year-old daughter?
A) He built a small, well-equipped bath for his daughter.
B) He built a large square for his daughter to play.
C) He built many cafes in the square.
D) He built a huge swimming bath for his daughter.
19. What did the author suggest that you visit Apollonia?
A) Drop two "steps" of rock to the sea. C) Swim under water.
B) Go along the beach. D) Swim out towards the island.

B) it's under about nine meters of water
C) it's too huge to be full of water
D) it's big enough to be a swimming pool
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Passage Two
Many American college and university students live in university residence halls. These halls are popularly called "dorms". Residence halls may offer various types of living accommodations. There are single rooms, in which a student lives alone but there probably are a good many more double rooms, which two students share. Some dorms have sets of rooms, where small groups of students have separate bedrooms but share a bathroom and maybe a study room.
There are usually a number of conveniences available for those living in university residence halls. Most have washing machines and clothes dryers for use by the residents. Many dorms have kitchens where students can prepare light meals: Residence halls generally provide not only room and board but public rooms and recreational facilities (娱乐设施) and sometimes study rooms for their use.
If you live in a dormitory you need to know what the rules and regulations are. Meals usually are served at only certain hours, and you must be there at those hours if you expect to eat. There may be only certain hours when visitors may come, or they may be limited to certain areas of the dormitory. Often cooking in bedrooms is prohibited (禁止), and the use of certain pieces of electrical equipment such as coffee pots or hair dryers may be limited.
Living in a residence hall carries certain obligation (义务). You have to be considerate of others, especially during study hours. Telephone calls and visits by friends should be short. You have to cooperate in keeping the room as neat as possible. It is sometimes hard to be tolerant of another person's habits that may differ from your own.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Passage Three
What is a good listener? Students who feel they are say it is because they pay attention; remember what the person says; and ask questions based on what the other has said; or it is because they like people and are interested in them. They feel they are poor listeners when they think about something else while the other is talking or when they're tired, or not interested in what she or he is talking about. In fact, there are a variety of ways to listen, just as there are a variety of ways to say something. Human beings are complex and concealing. Often we don't say what we want to say, or say exactly the opposite of what we want to say. Sometimes, we aren't honest or direct with another because we think we don't have the right or are afraid of what will happen if we are. The body "talks", too, sometimes more honestly than the tongue.
These different ways of talking need different ways of listening. To keep the seesaw going in conversations and in relationships, we need to understand and use these different ways, especially if our goal is to be a caring, thoughtful person. By knowing how
to listen in various ways, you can be accurate in picking up messages no matter how they are masked or distorted (变形了的) or how they are delivered. Some messages are heard just by listening silently; some, by holding a hand or giving a hug (拥抱). But to be able to respond accurately, you need to hear accurately.
Most people listen only with their ears. Too few listen with their hearts as well as their ears, listening to the other's, sharing of his or her hopes, joys, fears.
26. According to the passage, listening only with ears may happen to us when .
A) we are emotionally tired C) we are so interested in the topic
B) we are physically disabled D) we are asked many questions

A) He can feel what the speaker thinks.
B) He can share the speaker's feeling.
C) He can remember what the speaker says.
D) He can listen with his heart.
28. The purpose in writing the second paragraph is to .
A) demonstrate why we are not honest in communication
B) explain how our body "talks"
C) illustrate ways used by people in speaking
D) show that understanding one's speech is not an easy job
29. The word "seesaw" (Line 1, Para. 3) probably means .
A) communication C) understanding
B) purpose D) friendship
30. According to the passage our failure to give proper response to the speaker is probably because .
A) we misunderstand what he says C) he speaks in a distorted way
B) we don't like the speaker D) he speaks in a different language
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Passage Four
Superstition (迷信) is a difficult question. We cannot quite say that superstition in Britain is dead. Its history is too long and too recent for that, and indeed you will find many remains of it in modem Britain. But they are only connected chiefly with vague beliefs of good luck and bad luck. It is unlucky, for instance, to walk under a ladder, or to spill salt, or break a mirror, or to have anything to do with number 13; whereas a horseshoe brings good luck, and people jokingly "touch wood" to prevent the return of a past misfortune. There are still many strange country remedies against sickness which are obviously superstitions. Most of all, there is still a surprising amount of interest in fortune-telling, e.g. in the form of "horoscopes" (占星术) in newspapers and women's magazines — though for most people this is nothing more than an amusement, which they may well be slightly ashamed of.
But the real measure of superstition is fear. In this sense there is no superstition in Britain. British people as a whole do not believe in evil influences or evil spirits. Sickness and misfortune do not come from devils, but are the result of chance or foolishness or inefficiency. Devils belong only to history books. Devils exist only in the mind — usually the minds of others. Magic is simply an interesting word for performing
tricks. Fairies (童话故事中的仙女) are pretty little winged creatures in "fairy stories" for children and any adult who believed in fairies or magic or devils would be considered slightly mad. Thus, modem Britain has largely emerged from superstition, and the future seems to consist not of devils, but of matter and machines.
31. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to .
A) criticize British people's superstitious beliefs
B) show British people's attitudes towards superstitious beliefs today
C) describe various superstitious beliefs still practiced in modern Britain
D) emphasize the influence of superstition upon the British people
32. According to the remaining superstitious beliefs in Britain, all the following are concerned with bad luck except .
A) break a mirror C) touch wood
B) walk under a ladder D) pour salt out
33. For most British people today, a horoscope column in newspapers is .
A) just for fun C) only for women
B) for making money D) for fortune-telling
34. In the future, British people will .
A) become slaves of machines C) get rid of their beliefs of God
B) remove fairies from their life D) have no superstitious beliefs
35. The author's attitude towards the changing of superstition-belief is .
A) optimistic C) critical
B) pessimistic D) neutral

学位英语考试作文
Directions: Some people think that knowledge gained from books is much richer and broader than what can be learned from direct experiences. Do you agree or disagree with this view? Write a composition on Which one is more important, knowledge gained from practical experiences or knowledge acquired from books ?
Which One is More Important, Knowledge Gained from Practical Experiences or Knowledge Acquired from Books?
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experiences, and each has its own advantages.
The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won?t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experiences, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experiences, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experiences is more important than that acquired from books.

Tradition and Modernization
The process of modernization today is even greater than before. It is unavoidable that some achievements are made ① at the cost of tradition. Many people believe that tradition should be reserved to the largest extent. On the one hand, they think that the tradition is the ② cream of history with perfect conclusion and abstraction, and thus it should be followed. On the other hand, we should keep our own traditional characteristics as a culture, so that we can find our own position in a world of ③ diversity.
However, some people believe that it is worthwhile to abandon tradition for modernization. In the first place, they view the history as a ④ linear course moving forward, and outdated concepts must be timely eliminated. In the second place, they believe that civilization is more important, and should be realized ⑤ at all costs.
As far as I am concerned, we should sort out the universal truth in our tradition and stick to them. But we should also selectively put down some traditions for a better life.

名师点评
Living in Big Cities or Medium and Small Cities?
① We can not choose where we were born, but we can choose where we live during the whole life. ② That?s why after graduation, some students want to stay in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, while some others might long to live in medium and small cities like Yantai and Ningbo.
When referring to the city they?d like to live, different college graduates have different choices. ③ Some insist that big cities are their favorites because there are more opportunities for personal development and more modern facilities that make their lives wonderful and convenient. ③ In addition, they believe that their horizons will be broadened and their potentials will be fully exploited before so many challenges. ④ However, there are a large part of people choosing to live in medium and small cities. ⑤ Firstly, less pressure there will make them live much more comfortable. ⑤ Secondly, the air is fresher than big cities. Therefore, it will be beneficial to their health.
⑥ Personally speaking, I?d rather choose to go to big cities because personal development ⑦ rather than comfort is what I have been pursuing.
