Questions 21~25 are based on the following passage.

The large river best known to the ancient Greeks was the Nile of Egypt. They spoke of the river with admiration and called Egypt “the gift of the Nile”. The reason for this was, first, that the

综合英语（4）考试样题 第 2 页 （共5页）

Nile brought water to a rainless desert and, second, that once a year, the river overflowed its bank, leaving, as the water back, a new layer of fertile soil.

The flood waters carry in them soil (called silt) from the upper parts of the river valley to the lower parts, and so to the sea. But as the river meets the sea, the sea acts as a barrier, and forces the river to drop the silt it is carrying.

There are no tides in the Mediterranean to carry the silt away, so year after year it collects at the mouth of the Nile, and the river must find its way around islands of the always more distant Mediterranean. In this way, a vast area of the fertile soil has been built up to at the mouth of the Nile and out into the sea. The river water splits up to form small branches winding across the area. To the ancient Greeks, the mouth of the Nile looked like the drawing.

Now we sometimes name things after the letters of the alphabet they resemble (像，类似) : a U-turn, an I-beam, a T-square, an S-bead, and so on. The Greeks did the same. The triangular area of land built up at the mouth of the Nile looked like the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet Delta and so this was the name they give it. This word is now used for all areas of land formed at the mouth of rivers which flow into tideless seas, ever when they are not triangular in shape. The Mississippi Delta, for example, is not shaped at all like the Greek delta, as you will see if you look at a map.

21. Egypt was called ______.

A. the gift of the Nile B. the gift of the desert C. the gift of the fertile soil D. the gift of the Greeks 22. The silt left on the mouth of the sea was carried there from ______.

A. the sea B. the barrier C. the upper parts of the river D. the river 23. Which of the following is True?

A. The ancient Greeks named the land at the mouth of the river after the fourth letter of their alphabet.

B. Egyptians made the area rich. C. The Greeks made this area rich.

D. The Greeks gave this land to the Egyptians as a gift. 24. The main idea of this passage is _______.

A. why the Greeks liked the Nile very much B. how the Nile Delta formed C. the history of the Nile D. the well-known Delta 25. The most suitable title for this passage is ______.

A. “The Gift of the Nile” B. “The Fertile Soil” C. “The Nile River D. “The Delta” Questions 26~30 are based on the following passage.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when 1 broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Pau—why didn’t I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose

综合英语（4）考试样题 第 3 页 （共5页）

someone tells you, “You are a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy,” that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. T could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

26. The author ______ when he recalls some things that happened between him and hiss friends.

A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

B. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his friends D. is sorry that his friends let him down

27. From the sentence “You’re a lucky dog”, we can conclude that ______.

A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly B. it means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” C. the word “dog” shouldn’t be applied to people

D. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words 28. The main purpose of this passage is to tell us how to ______.

A. avoid mistakes about money and friends B. size up people

C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D. keep people friendly without trusting them

29. In listening to a person the important thing is ______.

A. to notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes B. to listen to how he pronounces his words

C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice and his posture D. not to believe what he says

30. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would ______.

A. be fortunate enough to have a date on Saturday evenings B. misunderstand what people say

C. be able to avoid making mistakes about money

D. be careful to weigh what people say to determine their real meaning IV. Translation (15 points)

On Private Use of Cars

When it comes to private cars,, it goes without saying that they bring us obvious advantages. It is generally thought that there are all kinds of benefits with private cars. To begin with, they are so convenient that we can drive them to any place at any time; in the second place (on the other hand), with private cars, our life will be bettered and our work efficiency will be improved; What’s more, owning a car symbolizes that you are a successful person in professional world. Therefore, private cars have great significance in our life.

Just as a coin has two sides/On the contrary, the disadvantages resulted from private cars can’t be ignored. The defects of private cars can be listed as follows: on one hand, more private cars lead to deteriorated environment and noise pollution; on another hand, traffic accidents owe much to the increase of private cars; besides, private cars contribute to serious energy crisis because of their large consumption of petroleum.

My attitude towards it is that I prefer the above mentioned positive effects/advantages of/ brought by private cars overweigh the negative effects. I have at least two basic reasons to prove my point of view. First of all, the reason on which I base my idea is that more private cars will help to develop our national automobile industry and national economy. At the same time, if drastic measures are adopted to avoid the disadvantages brought by cars, we may have a more bright future. That’s why I’m in favor of the idea mentioned in the first paragraph. 评分说明：
