A million visitors go to Barcelona every year. They want to see Antonio Gaudi's church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He was very poor but he wanted to be an architect. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work —— but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses，offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said，“Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops，too.They will help the people.”“I will do it，”said Gaudi. He worked for forty years，but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed ￡ 10，000，000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926，and only the front of the church was finished. But architects, engineers and visitors from all over the world come to see it. It is very strange，very modern and revolutionary.

At the beginning of 1613, about two hundred Polish soldiers arrived at a little Russian village. They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them.
"You will have to go through that forest," said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way," cried the enemy officer," or we'll kill every one in the village!"
"I'm old," said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."
But to himself he said, "I'll have to show them the way, but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest, they will die there and I'll help to save my country."
The old man went in front, and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest.
"Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now."
"I'm old," answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way."
"He wants money and give him some gold," said the soldiers. "But if he doesn't show us the way we will kill him."
"We'll soon be on the road now," said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."
But the trees closed round them and it became darker and darker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow.
"This cannot be the road," the men said to one another, but they could do nothing but follow those in front.
"So," said the old man when they stopped, "you can neither go farther not turn back. You will be here and you will die here. I will never turn against my country for your gold."

Questions 21~25
There are thousands of different languages in the world. Everyone seems to think that his native language is the most important one, as it is their first language. For many people it is even their only language all their lives. But English is the world's most widely used language.
As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people, in the U.S.A., England, Australia and some other countries.
For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education and other activities. So English is the second language there.
As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We used it to listen to the radio, to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

Questions 26~30
What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don't choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes 20 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the
corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was strictly a “man's world”.
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.

SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST
Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions: In this part of the test , you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let's begin Part A with Spot Dictation.
Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock music. Forbes Magazine claims that at least fifty rock stars have incomes of between two million and six million dollars per year.
“It doesn't make sense,” says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was most popular, in the 1950s. “Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is.”
But the rock stars' admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
Some observers think the customers are buying more than music. According to one theory, to play rock music doesn't require much training. There is no gulf between the audience and the performer. Every boy and girl in the audience thinks, “I could sing like that.” Rock music has become a kind of religion. Young people are glad to pay to worship a rock star because it is a way of worshipping themselves.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Don McLean, who wrote and sang “American Pie.” McLean earned more than a million dollars from recordings of “American Pie.” Then too, by writing his own music, McLean earns some extra money.
