Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
It happens to us all, however hard we may try to delay the process---we grow old. Surgery may remove wrinkles (皱纹), skin which has become less firm may be tightened by a surgical operation on the face, and hair dressers may dye grey hair a more youthful color. But we cannot remain young forever.
Advances in medicine have made it possible for more people to stay alive longer. However what is important is the quality of life, and people age differently. Some people remain quite well and able to look after themselves when they get old. But others of the same age are not so lucky. They have to go into a nursing home in order to receive adequate care.
The worst aspect of ageing is that often the mind becomes less alert. As people grow older, they often experience loss of short-term memory, although they may well be able to recall quite easily events that happened long ago. Later they may suffer from dementia (痴呆), a disease which gets gradually worse.
By no means all elderly people are in this category. Many senior citizens are in possession of all their faculties and see retirement as a time of freedom. Not only that, if they have a generous retirement pension, they are likely to be quite well off, with money to spend on holidays and other luxuries. Because of this, both businesses and government have a new respect for what is known as grey power.
By no means, however, does everyone treat OAPs with respect. There are some cultures which are noted for the great respect with which they treat their old people, but many people in other cultures regard the old as having a very low status in society and treat them accordingly. They often consider old people as having one foot in the grave. Someone should remind them that they, too, will be old one day.
31. Elderly people who cannot look after themselves go to ______.
A. nursing homes
B. residences close to hospitals
C. community centers
D. homes of their children
32. The worst aspect of ageing is ________.
A. inability to look after oneself
B. low retirement pension
C. getting more and more forgetful
D. inadequate medical care
33. What is the reason that businesses respect the elderly?
A. The elderly are wise.
B. The elderly have knowledge.
C. The elderly are mentally alert.
D. The elderly have spending power.
34. ―OAP‖( Para.5 ) most likely means ―_________‖.
A. old age program
B. old age power
C. old age party
D. old age pensioner
35. According to the author, how people treat the elderly relates to _______.
A. their occupations
B. their cultural backgrounds
C. their education levels
D. the amount of their free time
Passage Two
The swan is mostly silent through its life, unable to sing sweet songs like most other birds, In Ancient times, however, people believed a swan sings the most beautiful song just before it dies. The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates talked of this 2, 300 years ago. Socrates explained that the swan was singing because it was happy. T he bird was happy because it was going to serve the Greek God Apollo. Swans were holy to Apollo, the god of poetry and song.
The story of the swan’s last song found a place in the works of other writers, including the early English writers Chaucer and Shakespeare. And the expression ―swan song ‖ has long been a part of the English language. At first, ―swan song ‖ meant the last work of a poet, musician or writer. Now, it means the final effort of any person. Someone’s swan song usually is also considered that person’s finest work.
A politi cal expression with a similar meaning is ―the last hurrah‖. The expression may be used to describe a politician’s last campaign, his final attempt to win cheers and votes. The last hurrah also can mean the last acts of a politician, before his term in office ends. Writer Edwin O’Connor made the expression popular in 1956. He wrote a book about the final years in the political life of a long time mayor of Boston. He called his book The Last Hurrah.
Some language experts say the expression came from a name given to noisy supporters of Andrew Jackson, America’s seventh president. They cheered hurrah so loudly for Andy Jackson during his presidential campaign that they became known as the hurrah boys.
Jackson’s hurrah boys also played a part in the election to choose the next president. Jackson’s choice was his vice president, Martin Van Buren. A newspaper of the time reported that Van Buren was elected president: ―…by the hurrah boys, and those who knew just enough to shout hurrah for Jackson.‖ President Jac kson really heard his last hurrahs in the campaign of the man who would replace him in the White House.
36. In ancient times, people believed that a swan sings most beautifully _______.
A. before death
B. when is happy
C. for Apollo
D. in front of other birds
37. According to Socrates, swans were __________.
A. holy birds
B. happy birds
C. pets of a Greek God
D. in front of other birds
38. The English expression ―swan song‖_________.
A. was first used by Chaucer
B. changed its meaning through time
C. means the best song ever created
D. refers to a work of Shakespeare
39. Martin Van Buren _______.
A. was the U.S. president before Jackson
B. served as the eighth U.S. president
C. is the author of The Last Hurrah
D. was a politic al rival of O’Connor
40. President Jackson’s last hurrah was to ________.
A. express his gratitude to his supporters
B. win the final cheers from his supporters
C. defeat another candidate in the election
D. help his vice president get elected
Passage Three
There is no question that academic enterprise has become increasingly global, particularly in the sciences. Nearly three million students now study outside their home countries——a 57% increase in the last decade. Foreign students now dominate many U.S. doctoral programs, accounting for 64% of Ph. Ds in computer science, for example.
Faculty members are on the move, too. Half of the world’s top physicists no longer work in their native countries. And major institutions such as New York University are creating branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia. There are now 162satellite campuses worldwide, an increase of 43% in just the past three years.
At the same time, growing numbers of traditional source countries for students, from South Korea to Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), are trying to improve both the quantity and quality of their own degrees, engaging in a fierce and expensive race to recruit students and create worldclass research universities of their own.
Such competition has led to considerable hand-writing in the West. During a 2008 campaign stop, for instance, then-candidate Barack Obama expressed alarm about the threat that such academic competition poses to U.S. competitiveness. Such concerns are not limited to the United States. In some countries worries about educational competition and brain drains have led to academic protectionism. India, for instance, places legal and bureaucratic in front of Western universities that want to set up satellite campuses to enroll local students.
Perhaps some of the anxiety over the new global academic enterprise is understandable. Particularly in a period of massive economic uncertainty. But educational protectionism is as big a mistake as trade protectionism is. The globalization of higher education should be embraced. not feared——including in the United States. There is every reason to believe that the worldwide competition for human talent, the race to produce innovative research, the push to extend university campuses to multiple countries, and the rush to train talented graduates who can strengthen economics increasingly knowledge –based economics will be good for the United States, as well.
41. A feature of the globalization of the academic enterprise is that more students _____.
A. study in foreign countries
B. major in computer science
C. take joint doctoral programs
D. return home after studying abroad
42. A satellite campus is probably a branch campus that a university sets up _________.
A. in developed countries
B. in another country
C inside another university D. on the Internet
43. The word ―hand-wringing ‖(Para.4) probably means ―________‖.
A. anger
B. in another country
C. interests
D. delight
44. Academic protectionism is characterized by _____.
A. enlarging enrollment of local students
B. limiting the growth of Ph. D. programs
C. creating more satellite campuses abroad
D. restricting satellite campuses of foreign universities
45. In the last paragraph, the author tries to emphasize that _____.
A. the academic enterprise has become global
B. academic competition has led to protectionism
C. worries over educational competition are understandable
D. educational protectionism cannot be justified
Passage Four
Who says your job leaves you no time to hit the gym? A detailed new study of U. S. physical activity patterns shows that men who work full-time whether their jobs are active or sedentary end up getting more exercise than healthy working –age men without a job.
The new study comes from researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), As part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2003, some, 1, 800 working-age adults were asked questions about their lifestyle and work habits, and, most importantly, they then agreed to wear an accelerometer—a device to measure their physical activity — over the course of several days.
Those data from the accelerometers provide a rare opportunity to nail down how much activity the typical American actually does.
They show that men or women who work in active jobs do more physical activity on weekdays than men or women working in sedentary jobs. That’s perhaps not surprising, but the NIH researchers suggest that it still matters because of an ongoing shift in the economy toward sedentary work.
The more surprising finding is the one that compares full-time workers to people who don’t work. The study shows that men with full-time jobs do more physical activity than healthy men without jobs. (―Healthy man, ‖ in this case, were those men wh o said their primary reason for being out of work was something other than health or disability.) In fact, even sedentary fulltime workers performed more weekday physical activity overall than the healthy non-workers
The results looked very different for women. Women in sedentary jobs did less physical activity on weekdays than their healthy non-working peers.
So what drives the gender (性别)difference? The study looks at the patterns, and unfortunately can’t provide too much detail about their causes. Th ere could be many possible answers, including, perhaps, different abilities to pay for leisure time activities, or different attitudes about work and physical activity. It could also be that more non-working women than men are choosing to be at home running around full-time after the kids.
But the NIH researchers do find evidence, they write, to suggest that, whatever causes the difference, healthy non-working women ―are replacing work with active pursuits whereas ‖ for some reason —―[non-working ]men gen erally are not.‖
46. A sedentary job ( Para. 1 ) is one that involves ________.
A. staying seated a lot
B. intensive concentration
C. moving about a lot
D. superb skills
47. What is the function of the accelerometers in the study?
A. They record people’s physical activities.
B. They measure people’s workload.
C. They distinguish gender differences.
D. They push people to be more active.
48. What is a possible reason for non-working women to be physically active?
A. They are well-educated.
B. Their kids keep them busy.
C. They are open-minded.
D. Their husbands influence them.
49. The study tries to identify________.
A. the ongoing economy trend
B. evidence for gender differences
C. the American physical activity patterns
D. the relation between work and leisure
50. Who are the least physically active according to the study?
A. Men with sedentary jobs.
B. Men with active jobs.
C. Healthy women with no jobs.
D. Healthy men with no jobs.
Part IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Ants first captured the attention of software engineers in the early 1990s. A single ant cannot do much on its own. But a group of ants 51 can solve complex problems. That inspired people like Marco Dorigo, who is one of the founders of a 52 known as group intelligence.
Ants are good at choosing the shortest possible route between a food 53 and their nest. This reminds us of a classic computational travelling-salesman problem. Given a list of cities and their 54 apart, the salesman must find the shortest route needed to visit each city once. As the number of cities 55 , the problem gets more complicated.
Ants solve their own problem using chemical signals called pheromones (信息
素).When an ant finds food, she takes it back to the nest, 56 a pheromone trail that will attract others. The more ants that 57 the trail, the stronger it becomes. 58 the pheromones evaporate (挥发)quickly, so once all the food has been collected, the trail soon goes cold. This rapid evaporation means long trails are less 59 than short ones, all else being equal. Pheromones thus turn the 60 intelligence of the individual ants into something more powerful.
51. A. by the way B. as a whole
C. for some time
D. on the average
52. A. field B. profession C. company D. fund
53. A. range B. source C. chain D. origin
54. A. locations B. positions C. spaces D. distances
55. A. changes B. holds C. grows D. decreases
56. A. putting aside B. working on
C. waiting for
D. leaving behind
57. A. follow B. lead C. surround D. avoid
58. A. Therefore B. Furthermore C. Then D. However
59. A. interesting B. important C. attractive D. visible
60. A. interrupted B. limited C. considerable D. unreliable
Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
One of the keys to speaking English like a native is the ability to use and understand casual expressions, or idioms, American English is full of idioms. You won’t learn these expressions in a standard textbook. But you will hear them all the time in everyday conversations. You’ll also meet them in books, newspapers, magazines, and TV shows.
Idioms add color to the language. Master idioms and your speech will be less awkward, less foreign. You’ll also understan d more of that you read and hear. Often a student of English tries to translate idioms word-for-word, or literally. If you do this, you can end up asking, ‖what could this possibly mean?‖ This is why idioms are difficult: they work as groups of words, not as individual words. If you translate each word on its own, you’ll miss the meaning and in many cases end up with nonsense.
Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)
Directions: You are to write in no less than 120 words on the topic of ―What Do I Do to Stay Healthy? ‖. You may base your composition on the Chinese clues given below and put your composition on the ANSWER SHEET.

英译汉参考译文
要把英语说得像本族人那么地道，关键之一是能够理解和使用通俗用语或习语。美式英语中有大量习语。这些惯用语在一般教材中学不到，在日常对话里却可以经常听到，在图书、报纸、杂志和电视节目里也会碰到。
习语可为语言增色。熟练掌握习语可减少口语表达的拗口、生涩，也有助于提高听力和阅读理解能力。英语学习者常常逐字翻译或按字面意思直译习语，这么做最终可能会抓不住其确切含义，因为习语以词组形式出现，而非一单词形式出现，这正是习语难以掌握的症结所在。孤立译出没一个单词，会丢失习语的本义，在很多情况下，还会使其毫无意义。

People today become increasingly concerned about health, a state of physical and mental well-being. For human beings, to be healthy means to be free from physical illness and mental or psychological problems.
T o say healthy, it’s of great importance to develop good lifestyles and behaviors, and to cultivate positive mentalities as well as individual abilities. Studies have shown that people can improve their physical health via regular exercise, adequate sleep, balanced diet, and absence of alcohol, smoke, and drugs. Also, people can keep mentally healthy if they have a positive mentality of optimism, confidence, resolution, broad vision and so forth. This kind of mentality will contribute quite a lot to their ability to cope with stresses and problems, overcome difficulties and obstacles and meet challenges, which, in turn, ensure a fruitful and happy life. This mentality will also result in strong character and personal satisfaction.
T o me, health means equal significance. I have made great efforts to try to stay health. Often, I do regular exercises to help strengthen my body and character. Also, I have tried to build healthy self-esteem and confidence, which helps me to see all my abilities and weaknesses together, accept them, and do my best with them. Finally, I always try to be optimistic to help me deal with all the frustrations and stresses in my life. With all this, I am confident to maintain both physical and mental health.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
The rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves—and not to turn into spoiled successors.
Nicola Horlick or ―supermum‖, a famous British billionaire, owing to the has spent her career making a?fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids reported ￡250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children. ―I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,‖ Horlick told the report’s authors. ―I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.‖She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett.
Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a story of finding herself without change for a car parking her father lent her $20, then promptly made her write him a check. ―To?ticket suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy,‖ he has said, ―is like saying the members of America’s 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.‖Anita Roddick, the late founder of the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation, which isn’t one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
31.The billionaires mentioned in the passage don’t want to leave much of their wea lth to their children because ________.
A.they prefer to give their wealth to charity
B.they want their business to go on healthily
C.they believe too much wealth will harm their children
D.they hope their children can make more money themselves
32.What do we learn about Nicola Horlick?
A.She has already given away about 25% of her wealth.
B.She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth.
C.She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to her kids.
D.She inherited most of her wealth from her parents.
33.Buffett distinguishes himself for ________.
A.his clear-cut position
B.being strict with his children
C.his talent in financial management
D.being a giant in the stock market
34.According to Buffett’s daughter, her father ________.
A.refuses to lend her money
B.wants her to invest in the Olympic Games
C.never gives her more money than necessary
D.always makes sure that she returns his money
35.It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to ________.
A.provide shelter for the poor
B.build good fame
C.avoid paying tax
D.support their business
Passage Two
It is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the 2010 World Cup. Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement.
The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their team, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other.
Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team’s colours, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behaviour. They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs.
There is much rivalry between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul (犯规) committed by a member of the other team.
When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the worst cases, riot police have to be called in.
Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football. These football hooligans (流氓) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. They regard football not as a sport, but as an excuse for troublemaking. Inevitably, their behaviour spoils the reputation of the game.
36.The qualifying rounds are played to _______.
A.attract soccer fans
B.select the best teams for the next rounds
C.raise funds for the organizers
D.decide which players are the best
37.What do the football fans hope to see?
A.A home game.
B.A defensive game.
C.An evenly matched game.
D.An exciting game.
38.Fans get angry when they think _______.
A.the referee is unfair
B.their team is losing
C.their team is not playing well
D.there is an intentional foul
39.Riot police are called in _______.
A.to separate the opposing fans inside the ground
B.as a precaution against trouble inside the ground
C.to stop fighting occurring outside the ground
D.as a precaution against fighting outside the ground
40.It is implied in the last paragraph that _______.
A.football fans enjoy spoiling games
B.football hooligans are crazy about the games
C.football can be an excuse for troublemaking
D.football has a poor reputation
Passage Three
Our sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we were aware of them. One area in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time manufacturers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods. Millions of dollars are spent on product research in the hunt for the right smell as it is believed perfume influences the way consumers perceive a brand. In a survey in the United States, when people were asked what was the most important factor in their choice of detergent (洗衣粉), smell was rated highly, above ingredients and price.
Now stores are becoming even more direct in their use of smell. The smell of fresh bread in a supermarket tends to encourage people to buy, and people selling their houses are recommended to have coffee being heated when potential buyers arrive. Suddenly smell is becoming big business. One company specializing in the use of smells to attract customers now has many large stores on its own list of customers. They find that when pleasant smells are filtered through a store’s air conditioning system, people tend to spend longer in the store and buy more.
Research shows that smells can increase people’s view of the value of a product. In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms—one filled with purified air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. 84% of the people preferred the shoes in the room with the smell of flowers. In fact, many said they would be prepared to pay up to US$10 more for a pair.
Smells also have other potential uses. Some companies are experimenting with different smells to produce different effects in their workers according to the time of day. For example, early in the morning they might put the smell of lemon in the air conditioning system to wake people up. In the middle of the morning, when the atmosphere tends to become more tense, the smell of wood could be used to calm people down. Before lunchtime the smell of melting butter would encourage people to go to lunch on time. After lunch, when people often begin to lose concentration, the smell of mint (薄荷) would increase their alertness.

Passage Four
The First Rule of Finance is to live within your means by spending no more than 80% of your take-home pay. If you take home $100 per week, spend no more than $80.
But ever look at what people spend their money on? I have relatives and friends deeply in debt, spending $12 for every $10 they earn instead of the $8 you know they s hould be spending. When I see them, they’re proud of their new whatever. ―What do you think of my new truck?‖ asked one from the driver’s seat. ―Do you like my new shoes?‖ asked another on high heels. ―Check out my new big screen,‖ said a third while holdi ng the remote in his living room. We’ve all heard people fishing for compliments on their new toys.
Every one of them was proud of what they’d financed. They seem to have bought it for the purpose of being proud, of showing off, of keeping up with the Jo neses. ―Look at my new…‖ is everybody’s favorite phrase, even when the object in question isn’t theirs at all and won’t be new when they’ve finally paid for it, if they ever do.
They’re proud of being stupid. They think it’s cool to drive the financed ca r, wear the financed shoes, and watch the financed TV, but to smart people, whose opinions are the only ones we should respect, these people look dumb as rocks.
The Joneses, nine times out of 10, are financially stupid. That’s why they have all that stuff, on borrowed money. Why try to copy them? Worse, why try to impress them? Copy and impress smart people, the ones who own their stuff. If you want to impress smart people, debt is the last way to go about it. Trying to impress a money-smart person by going into debt is like trying to impress Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps by drowning in a pool. Michael Phelps is impressed by good swimming, and a money-smart person by good money management.
46.According to the author, the new truck, shoes and big screen mentioned in Para. 2 are ________.
A.indicators of wealth
B.necessities to the buyers
C.just a waste of money
D.examples of showing off
47.―… the object in question isn’t theirs‖ (Para. 2) means ________.
A.it is bought for other people
B.it is bought with loaned money
C.it will finally be owned by the bank
D.it will finally be owned by the buyers
48.According to the author, buying new objects on borrowed money is ________.
A.unwise
B.shameful
C.understandable
D.impressive
49.―Smart people‖ in the last paragraph refer to ________.
A.clever businessmen
B.people with high IQs
C.fashionable wealthy people
D.people good at money management
50.The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A.show sympathy with poor consumers
B.criticize consumption of luxuries
C.advise people to become money-smart
D.persuade people to keep off fashions Part IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
There is one fairly standard reason why some thinkers regard the meaning-of-life question as being itself meaningless. They argue 51 meaning is a matter of language, not objects. It is a 52 of the way we talk about things, not a feature of things themselves, 53 shape, weight or colour. A cabbage or a computer is not meaningful in itself; it becomes 54 only by being caught up in our conversations. On this theory, we can make life 55 by our talk about it; but it cannot have a meaning in itself, 56 than a cloud can. It would not 57 sense, for example, to speak of a cloud as being true or false. 58 , truth and falsehood are functions of our human judgments about clouds. However, there are problems with this argument, 59 there are with most philosophical arguments. We shall be 60 a few of them later on.

Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
Human friends may come and go, but a horse could be one of your most loyal, long-term friends if you treat it right.
Horses understand words better than expected, since horses can hear the human voice better than even dogs can, due to their particular range of hearing. And scientists predict that trainers could have greater success if they use more verbal commands in their horse training programs.
Horses possess excellent memories, which allow horses to not only recall their human friends after a long period of separation but also to remember some complex human instructions for ten years or more. The bonds with humans are likely an extension of horse behavior in the wild, since horses value their own horse relatives and friends, and are also open to new, non-threatening acquaintances. Horses maintain long-term bonds with several members of their family group, but they also interact temporarily with members of other groups when forming herds.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Jack’s friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo (文身), and Jack was so impressed by Tony’s bravery and his tattoo that he decide d to get one too. Why do a lot of young people in North America get tattoos today? Peer pressure, media influence, and personal expression are some of the common reasons.
The desire to be part of a group, to be accepted by one’s friends or peers, can hav e a great influence on what a person does. Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. For example, in one gang all the members may wear green army jackets and have large ―Xs‖ tattooed on their arms. It is not only gangs that have this type of special ―uniform‖. Young people often belong to a certain group of friends. Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person’s friends are all doing something, such as getting a tattoo, that person is more likely to do the same thing, and get a tattoo too.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America.
A wide variety of media images show tattoos. Tattoos can be seen on people appearing in
commercials selling expensive cars. Famous sports heroes with tattoos are shown in magazines. Fashion models are often seen in magazines and on TV wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colorful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
It is not always the influence of other people or the media that results in a person getting a tattoo. Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings—in other words, to show their individuality. A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. Lovers may tattoo each others’ names over their hearts. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in
a person’s life.
31.Jack got a tattoo because of ________.
A.the influence of friends
B.the influence of the media
C.a desire to express himself
D.a desire to be fashionable
32.Gang members wear the tattoo of ―Xs‖ to show their ________.
A.individuality
B.power
C.sense of honor
D.sense of belonging
33.Which of the following groups of people are seen wearing tattoos in the media?
A.Car sellers.
B.Sports stars.
C.Fashion designers.
D.Movie stars.
34.Which of the following tattoos shows one’s belief?
A.A musical instrument.
B.A lover’s name.
C.A picture of endangered species.
D.A brand name.
35.The best title for this passage is ________.
A.Why People Get Tattoos
B.Tattoos’ New Trend
C.The Popularity of Tattoos
D.Tattoos Tell Who You Are
Passage Two
Is the customer always right? The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in. Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food. From the air-conditioned American shopping centers to the street market of African towns, the way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people.
Business competition in Europe has given consumers increased power. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means. People often point to America as an example of excellent customer service. In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant might well dream of such attention, but do Europeans really want US style service? As a friend of mine once
told me, ―By the end of the evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.‖ It is a question of expectations. Different nationalities expect different types of service.
A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes: ―First of all she waits until they are on sale, then she bargains until she gets an even better price and then she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price.‖ Could you imagine trying such tricks in a department store in your country?
Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employers’ attitudes to t heir workers. As American sales and service personnel are heavily reliant on commission and tips, they have more motives to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and 12 hour shifts? It might not be a case of ―Is the customer always right?‖ but a case of ―How much service is it fair to expect?‖
36.The way people shop ________.
A.carries social and cultural values
B.reflects the developmental stage of a country
C.determines the way they socialize
D.reveals their social status
37.The word ―compliment‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ―________‖.
A.evaluate
B.criticize
https://www.doczj.com/doc/2112329335.html,ugh at
D.praise
38.The remarks of the author’s friend in Paragraph 3 indicate that Europ eans ________.
A.think highly of the American service
B.find it impossible to accept the American service
C.do not appreciate the American service
D.will gradually accept the American service
39.Why does the author use the Chinese mother’s shoppi ng experience as an example?
A.To warn shop assistants of tough customers.
B.To teach people how to get better service as customers.
C.To criticize some improper shopping behavior.
D.To show how different people’s expectations of service are.
40.According to the last paragraph, the service quality of American service personnel may depend on ________.
A.the customers’ attitude towards them
B.the amount of commission and tips
C.the length of their working hours
D.their working experience
Passage Three
Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of
course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits.
Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.
Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.
As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.
The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.
41.―Employee commitment‖ in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee’s ________.
A.qualification
B.loyalty
C.experience
D.achievement
42.Work sharing is different from job sharing in that ________.
A.it requires more working hours
B.it provides more work positions
C.it de pends on the employer’s decision
D.it offers a more satisfactory salary
43.Job sharing is popular with young mothers mainly because ________.
A.they can take care of both work and family
B.they are over ideal working ages
C.they seek equal opportunities with men
D.they have difficulty finding full-time jobs
44.In job sharing the partners should ________.
A.be social equals
B.be intimate friends
C.know each other very well
D.have similar working experience
45.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
