學位英語考試歷年真題分享
Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this part each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
In 1866, sailors on a German ship called Paula threw a bottle with a message into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one year later, (76) the bottle was found on an Australia island.
It’s believed to be the oldest-known message in a bottle, in terms if the amount of time that has passed between when it was written and when it was found. Before this discovery, Guinness(吉尼斯) world Records said that the oldest was 108 years old, found in Germany in 2015. Australian and German researchers worked together to check whether the note is real or not.
Tonya Illman was walking on the beach in January when she spotted the old bottle. “I picked it up thinking it might look nice on display in my home,” Illman says, according to an account on her husband’s website. (77) The bottle was partially filled with wet sand. Shortly after, Illman’s son’s girlfriend poured out the contents and found a tightly rolled note covered in a piece of string.
Too damp to open initially, according to the account, the group waited for it to dry and were amazed to see that it was carefully handwritten in German. “The first thing that caught my eye was the year 1866,” said Illman’s husband Kym. “It seemed totally unlikely to us that the note and bottle could have lasted that long.”
The pair reached out to the Western Australia Museum, which set out to study the document. “Extraordinary finds need extraordinary evidence to support them, so we contacted colleagues in German for help to find more information,” Ross Anderson, who is in charge of works of art in the museum, said in a statement.
But this message is no SOS or love letter.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
A handwritten note from Albert Einstein sold for more than $1.5 million at an auction (拍賣會). He gave the note to a hotel porter in Japan in 1922. Einstein was not carrying money when the porter came to his room. (78) He was unable to give a cash tip, as a guest normally would. Instead he gave a tip on how to live life.
“A calm and modest life brings more happiness than pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.” Einstein wrote. The note was written in German. It was written on notepaper from the imperial Hotel in Ginza, Tokyo, where Einstein was delivering a series of lectures.
He was travelling to Asia when news that he had won the Nobel Prize for Physics reached him via telegraph. Einstein was unable to attend the prize-giving ceremony in Stockholm.
Gal Wiener is head of the auction house in Jerusalem, Israel, where the note was sold. He said Einstein told the hotel porter to keep the note since it will probably be worth more than a regular trip.
Bidding(拍賣中的出價) on the note began at $2000. It was expected to sell for no more than $8000. But 25 minutes later, the auction house made the major sale.
(79) A second Einstein note was sold at the auction. It went for more than $200,000. “where there a will, there’s a way.” the note says.
The identity of the person or group that sold the notes has not been made public. Nor has that of the buyer or buyers.

In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50,000. She made more and more money every year. All this time, she thought only of work and success.
