I. Cloze（每小题1分，共30 分）
Directions: Fill in the blanks with proper words (The first letter is given).
At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to
reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her (1) f______ intelligence; but at
this age the likelihood of death is (2) l______. Earlier, we were infants and young
children, and consequently (3) m______ vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a
progressive (4) l______ of our vigour and resistance which, though imperceptible at
first, will finally become so steep (5) t______ we can live no longer, however well we
look after ourselves, and however (6) w______ society, and our doctors, (7) l______
after us. This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the
(8) m______ unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this
way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually ‘(9) d_____ of
old age’, and that this happens at a rate which differs little (10) f______ person to
person, so that there are heavy odds in favour of our (11) d______ between the ages of
sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer -- on into a
ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how
(12) l______ we can hope to remain (13) a______, however lucky and robust we are.
Normal people tend (14) t_____ forget this process unless and until they are
reminded (15) o____ it. We are so familiar (16) w______ the fact that man ages, that
people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigour with (17) t______, of

becoming more likely to die the (18) o______ we get, was something self-evident, like
the cooling of a (19) h______ kettle or the wearing-out of a (20) p______ of shoes.
They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees,
or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things ‘wear (21) o_____’. Most
animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we (22) d____, if given the chance to
live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact
run (23) o______ of energy in accordance (24) w______ the second law of
thermodynamics (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present). But
these are not analogous (25) t_____ what happens when man ages. A run-down watch
is still a watch and can be rewound. An old (26) w______, by contrast, becomes (27)
s_____ worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could
never repair itself -- it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away
by friction. We could, at one time, (28) r______ ourselves --well enough, at least, to
overcome all but the most instantly fatal (29) i______ and accidents. Between twelve
and eighty years we gradually (30) l______ this power; an illness which at 12 would
knock us over, at 80 can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous
as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700
for the survivors to be reduced by half again.
II. Reading Comprehension (每小题2分，共60 分)
Directions: There are 6 passages in this section. 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 write the corresponding letter
on the answer sheet.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Did you know that you could have an exciting career in law without becoming a
lawyer? A paralegal, or legal assistant, does many of the things a lawyer does. A
paralegal, however, cannot give legal advice, appear in court, or set fees. The duties of
a paralegal include drafting, or preparing, legal documents, interviewing clients, and
doing research. Most paralegals specialize in one kind of law, such as real estate or
杭 州 师 范 大 学 硕 士 研 究 生 入 学 考 试 命 题 纸
2017 年 考试科目代码 723 考试科目名称 综合英语 （本考试科目共 18 页，第3 页）
litigation, the actual conduct of a lawsuit. However, criminal law may be the most
fascinating area of all.
Although law firms hire most paralegals, job opportunities are available in other
fields. Corporations, banks, and insurance companies employ paralegals. In the public
sector, legal-aid offices, the government, and the courts make use of paralegals. Jobs
for legal assistants are also opening up in hospital and school administration and in
legal publishing.
There continues to be a sharp rise in the number of paralegals. From 1992 to 2005,
according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of paralegals increased
more than 85 percent, from 95,000 to about 175,000 professionals. Although some
paralegals who are now employed have had no special training, the competition for
jobs will increase. Those people with formal paralegal training will have better chances
of being hired in the future.
Hundreds of institutions in the United States offer formal paralegal training. Three
main kinds of training programs exist. Junior colleges, as well as four-year universities
and colleges, offer two-year programs. In addition to law-related and legal specialty
courses, studies include general education. A few four-year colleges and universities
have programs with a major or minor in legal assistant studies. Some universities,
colleges, business schools, and special paralegal training schools also offer training
programs.
Some of these programs require applicants to have finished at least one and one-
half years of college. Other programs accept only college graduates with high grades.
Classes may be given full time during the day or part time in the evening. The length of
these programs is therefore anywhere from three months to two years. Students study
either general law with some training in one or two specialty areas, or they specialize in
one kind of law. The best training programs include internships so that students get on-
the-job training.
1. A paralegal can do all of the following jobs EXCEPT_____.
A. giving legal advice B. preparing legal documents
C. interviewing clients. D. doing research.
