PART II CLOZE TEST（15 minutes，15 points）
Directions：For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the four choices given below. Mark the corresponding letter of your choice with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
I am still recovering from a daunting challenge: to speak about “popular science writing” to a conference of literary theorists. This has led me to ask just what such science writing is about. The great immunologist (and the science writer) Peter Medawar 21 analyzed what he called the “fraudulent” 22 of scientific research papers. He showed how they 23 the messy reality of doing research by a 24 as rigid in form as a sonnet, with 25 use of the passive voice, and formal division 26 Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, 27 denying the accident, failure and serendipity which characterizes most lab work.
That’s 28 sometimes science fiction does it better. The more I think about the nature of popular science writing, the more I become 29 that, despite the best of 30 , it too is somewhat of a fraud.
So what was responsible for the boom in popular science book? Go back to the 1900s and early 1970s and you will find the books people wanted to read were about sociology, politics, Marxism, feminism, revolution in general. The mood was that 31 we understood society, we could change the world. When those hopes 32 out in the gloomier 1980s, it seemed the world could not be changed so 33 . And if it couldn’t, perhaps the natural sciences, 34 the new biology, could explain why. Books on genetics and evolution 35 the old bestsellers.21. A. just 22. A. repute 23. A. exposed 24.

PART III READING COMPREHENSION
Section A ( 60 minutes，30points )
Directions：Below each of the following passages you will find some questions or incomplete statements. Each question or statement is followed by four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Read each passage carefully, and then select the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement. Mark the letter of your choice with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
It is a common error to imagine that a barking dog is threatening you. It may be making a loud noise that appears to be aimed directly at you, but this is misleading. For the bark is a canine alarm and is meant for other members of the pack, including the human pack to which the dog belongs.
In the wild the bark has two effects: It causes puppies to take cover and hide, and it arouses adults to assemble for action. In human terms it is rather like the sounding of a bell, beating of a gong, or blowing of a horn to announce that “someone is approaching the gates” of a fortress. The alarm does not yet tell us whether the arrivals are friends or foes, but it ensures that necessary precautions can be taken. This is why loud barking may greet the arrival of a domestic dog’s master, as well as signal the intrusion of a burglar.
Out and out attack is, by contrast, completely silent. The fearlessly aggressive dog simply rushes straight at you and bites. Demonstrations of police dogs attacking men pretending to be fleeing criminals confirm this. As the man with the heavily padded arm runs away across the field and the police dog is released by its handler, there is no barking, no sound at all. The silent bounding of the big dog quickly ends with clamping its jaw onto
