On March 27, the US Government scientists made a decision after they predicted the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. They telephoned all state and local officials in the area and told them that a serious eruption was possible at any time. Roads were closed to every one except scientists and forest keepers struggled to keep curious visitors away from the mountain.
Shortly after noon on March 27, Mount Saint Helens erupted for the first time in 123 years. People living north of the mountain heard a loud boom that shook their windows, and airline pilots flying near the volcano soon afterwards described a thick black column of ash and steam shooting more than 2,100 meters into the sky.
Later, scientists found that the explosion had made a new crater in the top of the mountain, not far from the old crater. The north side of the peak now had a huge bulge where rock and ice had been pushed out by the eruption.
A second eruption shook the mountain on March 28. It, too, sent up a column of black ash high into the sky. By March 29, scientists flying over the mountain saw that a second crater formed about 9 meters from the first one. Strange blue flames flickered inside the crater and sometimes jumped from one crater to the other.
By April 1 the mountain had erupted several more times and the snow on the north slope of the peak was black with ash. Ash carried by the wind had fallen on towns as far as 240 kilometers away from Mount Saint Helens.
During the first week of April, Mount Saint Helens gave scientists something new to worry about; harmonic tremors recorded by scientists showed a big eruption would happen. All during April and intoMay Mount Saint Helens continued to shudder and shoot out ash. By April 8, the two craters had merged to form a vast hole nearly a half of a kilometer wide and 250 meters deep.
Scientists' main worry during this time was the growing bulge of rock and ice on the north face of the mountain. By May 7 scientists feared the worst. Their warnings led Washington Governor to set up safety zones around the mountain. The inner "red" zone was open to scientists only. The outer "blue" zone was open only to people who got special permits. But in spite of these warnings, some people got past the road barriers and risked their lives trying to get close to the volcano.
词汇: crater n.大坑 flicker vi.闪烁 tremors v.震动

本部分为1篇300~450词的短文，有两项测试任务：(1)短文后有6个段落小标题，应试者根据文章的内容为其中指定的4个段落各选择一个正确的小标题；(2)短文后有4个不完整的句子，应试者在所提供的6个选项中选择4个正确选项分别完成句子。
1. In public schools, educational guidance programs are organized as a series of services. One service is academic planning. Counselors assist students with curriculum and individual course selection. Programs also are designed to help students who have academic difficulties.
2. Student appraisal is another counseling function. Standardized tests are administered to assist in appropriate academic placement, to assess academic achievement, to identify individual aptitudes, to explore vocational interests, and to examine personal characteristics. Tests are used also to identify gifted students and those with special learning problems.
3. Other counseling services include career-development programs to foster awareness of career alternatives, programs in human relations skills, and training in actual job skills, as well as the acquisition and dissemination of related information. Counselors work with teachers, administrators, and families in coordinated efforts to help resolve specific student problems.
4. In colleges and universities, administrative offices such as student affairs, admissions, financial aid, housing, student health, and placement provide guidance services. College counseling centers assist students with academic, vocational, or personal problems.
5. In addition to state certification as educationally qualified personnel within schools, many guidance professionals are seeking licensing outside of school settings. Several states in the United States currently license counselors. Increased efforts to license and regulate guidance workers also elicit greater demands for professional accountability. Guidance workers are required to develop specific programs with measurable goals and systematic evaluation procedures to demonstrate their effectiveness. Programs have been developed for such special problem areas as abusive families, divorce, and substance abuse, and for specific groups such as minorities and the physically and developmentally disabled. Community-based programs also emphasize prevention and crisis intervention as primary guidance Strategies.

第四部分 阅读理解(31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
阅读三篇短文。每篇短文后面有五个问题，每个问题都有四个备选答案，应试者根据短文的内容从四个备选答案中选择一个最佳答案。
第一篇
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology.
Deep inside the brain there is a clock that governs every aspect of the body's functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the biological clock.
This body clocks programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5am and again between 3-5pm. Afternoon tea and nap are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon.
One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of aperson's internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses thebiological clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjustto a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may beon a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to "shrink" our day.
That is why traveling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights.
When flying west, you are "extending" your day, thus traveling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve "shrinking" or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock's natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There aremany reasons for this: changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying tosleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal biological clock andworking longer hours.
It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.
So, our body clock truly can "govern" us.
31.The role of the body clock is to .
A. enable us to sleep 6 hours a day B. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle
C. regulate the body's functions D. interfere with the body's functions
32. The word "malady" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. "condition" B. "discomfort" C. "injury" D. "excitement"
33. Flying in a westward direction will .
A. help you sleep better B. increase the degree of jet lag
C. shrink your day D. make you overeat
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the disrupted sleep of travelers?
A. Crossing different time zones.
B. Changing light and activity levels.
C. Working longer hours.
D. Watching out of the plane for a long time.
35. It can be seen from the lasttwo paragraphs that .
A. you can control your own body clock
B. it is not difficult to adjust to a new time zone
C. adjusting your watch can help you avoid jet lag
D. there isn’t much you can do to avoid jet lag
第二篇
After two decades of discredit, Keynes' prescriptions for state intervention when free markets stumble have returned to dominate the national agenda. For example, any solution to the problem of federal budget deficits will probably involve raising tax revenues and also stimulating employment, the traditional Keynesian priority. Another of the economic blueprints calls for hiking income taxes while encouraging investment through restored tax breaks for business. To offset higher taxes, neo-Keynesians revise the old remedy by lowering interest rates, spending less on public works and boosting productivity through the development and application of high technology. "The urgent need," says Harvard's Summers, "is to balance the federal budgets and create jobs.”
To some extent, Keynesianism has come back into favor almost by default. Monetarists, let by University of Chicago Professor Emeritus Milton Friedman, espoused their single-minded program; Fend offinflation by strictly controlling the money supple and leave everything else to the free-market which on itsown produces as much growth and employment as an economy can sustain. While supply-siders like Arthur Laffer suggested deep tax cuts in the belief that they would unleash entrepreneurial energy and easeWashington’s stranglehold on the free market. But the two doctrines have proved unable either to staveoff or to explain the recession during the George Bush administration. Freemarket theories just failed tobuild a viable set of models.
Keynes also owes his comeback to an articulate group of young academics. Among the rising-star disciples are Harvard economist Jeffrey Sachs now knows as "Father of the Shock Therapy," and MIT's Alan Blinder, current economic advisor to President Bill Clinton. "The traditional Keynesian reflex to reduce unemployment merely by pumping up spending," says Alan Blinder, "is gone forever." He aims at balancing the federal budget and raising investment primarily by increasing taxes. Sachs also argues that more than half of the deficit gap should be closed by tax increases. Both of them urge greater coordination among the G-7 on fiscal and monetary policy as the only way to head off a global recession.
词汇：intervention n.调停，干涉 espouse vt.信奉，采纳 fiscal adj.财政的，会计的
36. What is the main subject of the topic?
A. The celebrated neo-Keynesians.
B. The discredit of Keynesianism.
C. The predominance of free-market theories.
D. The retroboon of Keynesianism.
37. According to the passage, what is NOT mentioned as the major point of neo-Keynesianism?
A. Slashing tax revenues. B. Lowering interest rates.
C. Increasing taxes. D. Raising investment.
38. The word "default" as used in sentence 1, paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A. an automatic selection B. failure to pay debts
C. negligence D. no competitors
39. According to the passage, who are the most notable apostles now spreading the economic gospel of John M. Keynes?
A. Alan Blinder and Jeffrey Sachs B. Alan Blinder and Milton Friedman
C. Jeffrey Sachs and Arthur Latter D. Milton Friedman and Arthur Latter
40. According to the passage, what do the neo-Keynesians urge to prevent a world wide recession?
A. Expansion of international trade.
B. Dismantling tariff barriers.
C. Financial coordination among big industrialized nations.
D. Global investment credit for plant-and-equipment purchases.

The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. On the other hand, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confused, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge (facts).
Even in the true sciences distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited (使不相信). The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.
The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.
Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes—for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.
Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediateapplication for economic rewards. Scientists responsible for many of the discoveries could hardly haveanticipated that their findings would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery ofanother. Some discoveries seem so simple that one is amazed they were not madeyears ago; however,one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to precede the discovery of the cell.The host of scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic (抱歉) about ignoring thepractical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.
词汇：distinguish n.辨认，区别 dedicate vt.奉献，致力
41. To define science we may simply call it________.
A. the study of unrelated fields
B. classified knowledge
C. the study of unrelated subjects
D. an attempt to explain natural phenomena
42. Pure science, leading to the construction of a microscope________.
A. is not always as pure as we suppose
B. necessarily results from applied science and the discovery of a cell
C. may lead to anti-scientific, "impure" results
D. necessarily precedes applied science, leading to the discovery of the cell
43. A scientist being interested in adding to our general knowledge about oxygen would probably call his approach__________.
A. pure science B. environmental science
C. applied science D. agricultural science
44. Which of the following statements does the author imply?
A. In science, it is not difficult to distinguish fact from fiction.
B. Practical-minded people can understand the meaning and objectives of pure science.
C. Scientists engaged in theoretical research should not be blamed for ignoring the practical side of their discoveries.
D. Today few people have any notions of the meaning of science.
45. The best title for the passage is _______.
A. Hypotheses and Theories B. On Distinguishing Fact from Fiction
C. The Nature of Science and Scientists D. Biology and the Scientific Age

Why do people shrink?
Did you ever see the movie Honey, I shrunk the kids? It's about a wacky dad (who's also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention. Oops! 46
For older people, shrinking isn't that dramatic or sudden at all. It takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less) , and this kind of shrinking can' t be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. 47 .
There are a few reasons. As people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. Gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. 48 But perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. 49 Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. Older people—especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with—are more likely to develop osteoporosis. As years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
Did you know that every day you do a shrinking act? You aren't as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. That's because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed (squeezed) due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. Don't worry, though. 50 .
词汇：accidentally adv.偶然的 collapse vt.使塌下，使倒下
reverse vt.颠倒，反转
A. They end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
B. Once you get a good night's rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you're standing tall again.
C. Over time, bone is said to be lost because it's not being replaced.
D. Luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.
E. The kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.
F. But why does shrinking happen at all?

Nobody likes insects. They are annoying and sometimes dangerous. Some of them bite us and give us 51 ; others bite us and give us big red 52 . Some do not bite, 53 they just fly round our heads or crawl round our houses and gardens. And we do not like any of them 54 those lovely butterflies.

Today, 56 every square mile of land there are millions of them flying and crawling 57 . Second, insects are very adaptable to their habitat, to their food and to the weather. Now there are about a million different 58 in the world.
59 do people use insecticides?
59 do people use insecticides?
Not many insects 60 us. In many cases we do not see the insects and we do not think much about them. The reason is that insects eat 61 of man's food, 62 there are so many billions of them.
We must use insecticides to get rid of them. An insecticide is simply a special chemical 63 with some poisonous elements. Farmers spray their crops very often and the insects die quickly. Of course some poisonous chemicals may 64 on the crops or in the 65 , and that is also dangerous.
