They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of theworld. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or moreahead.1．Satellites travel _____________.A in spaceB in the atmosphereC above the groundD above space2．Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere?

At midnight of December 253）In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seenas a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.1. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.2. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might_____A. lead us into the post-war eraB. be quite widespreadC. take controlD. take over routine tasks3. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to_____A. be reasonably skeptical about themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purposes only4. An “internal computer” is_____A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person's store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable5. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is_____A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. malfunctioningIV.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. The Daughter of a Mechanic.B. A Girl and Her Father.C. A Girl and Her Geese .D. How to Teach Birds to Fly.2. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home?A. Because she liked the eggs.B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs.C. Because her father asked her to do so.D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back.3. The baby geese naturally took _________ as their mother.A. the mother geeseB. the girlC. the first thing they touchD. the girl’s father4. What did the girl’s father do to help her?A. He assembled a small plane.B. He piloted the plane himself.C. He taught the geese how to fly.D. Both A & B.5. How did the young geese learn to fly?A. By following the girl in the plane.B. By themselves.C. By following the girl’s father.D. By staying in the plane.Passage 2People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.

His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Trials are taking place in North America and Europe to test an electronic device which will prevent children from watching unsuitable programs on television.The device, known as a V-chip (the “v” stands for violence), allows parents to control their television set so that programs which are unsuitable for children cannot be watched on a particular television.The V-chip works by using an electronic code. When a program is broadcast, the signal from the television transmitter carries a code, which indicates the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program. The V-chip inside the television then examines the code for each program and blocks transmission of those programs which contain certain codes.Makers of the V-chip say that parents can be confident that their children will not be able to watch those programs which they decide are unsuitable.V-chip technology has attracted a lot of interest. President Clinton passed a law last year which will require all new televisions to be fitted with V-chips by 1998. And the European Parliament（欧洲议会）has included the V-chip in its new Directive on Broadcasting.But critics say that the system will not be fool-proof, and that children will find ways of getting around it. There are also concerns that foreign satellite television companies may not abide by the rules. Others say that if viewers come to rely on the V-chip, other controls on program content may start to be relaxed.1. According to the passage, V-chip technology enables parents to _____________.A) turn off the television when they are not homeB) test electronic devices that can take the place of the TV setC) keep inappropriate TV programs away from their childrenD) control the amount of time that their children spend on watching TV2. What do we learn from the passage about the electronic code?A) It shows the level of sex and/or violence in a particular program.B) It contains information about the television transmitter.C) It is the signal that is sent out by the V-chip.D) It is a computer program built in a TV set to examine the V-chip.3. The word “they ” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________________.A) makers B) parents C) children D) programs4. We can conclude from the passage that ________________________.A) President Clinton attracted a lot of interestB) a law had been passed to prohibit sex and violence on TVC) TV sets sold in American after 1998 are required to have V-chipsD) the European Parliament decided to import the V-chip technology from USA5. Critics of the V-chip were concerned that ____________________.A) children may not like the new technologyB) imported TV set may not have been equipped with V-chipsC) children may get addicted to the new technologyD) new problems may arise even if the V-chip worksQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.It is estimated that some seven hundred million people are unable to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment is so slight that it barely qualifies literacy (读写能⼒).Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the UNESCO Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price-lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them in Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).6. Studying carefully the clues in the passage, we learn that the total population of Africa is .A) approximately seven hundred millionB) approximately one hundred and twenty-five millionC) approximately eight or eight point five thousand millionD) exactly twenty-four million7. The figure of illiteracy in Britain comprises .A) zero point one per cent of that of illiteracy in the worldB) zero point two per cent of the world adult populationC) thirty-five per cent of Europe’s populationD) three point five per cent of that of the illiteracy in Southern Europe8. It is obvious that UNESCO .A) is a company in FranceB) is a world organization attached to the U. N.C) works mainly at combating illiteracyD) has many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy9. A world plan mentioned in the passage aims at .A) training responsible citizensB) enforcing the functions of UNESCOC) helping illiterates learn how to read and writeD) urging Southern European countries to take the lead in attacking illiteracy10. The author implies that this world plan is to .A) be carried out in the major areas of illiteracy like AfricaB) be realized in ten yearsC) be drawn up by Parisian expertsD) be debated at an international conferenceQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the course of the late 1930s thousands of workers transformed an old garbage dump in the New York borough of Queens into the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. For the price of a five-cent subway ride and seventy-five-cent admission fee, some fifty-seven attendees could sample personally “the wonders of contemporary life.”Since the middle of the nineteenth century, industrial states had held periodic expositions to showcase the goods produced by their nationals and by others. Although London’s Great Exhibition of 1851 had led the way, it was the French who were to produce such international displays of culture and machinery most frequently during the next half-century. American expositions tied the French example to the celebration of key historical anniversaries. The best-remembered example is the Chicago Exposition of 1893, which marked the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival—one year late. The New York World’s Fair of 1939 was inspired by the 150th anniversary of the inauguration (就职典礼) of George Washington. What took place at these showcases of modern architecture, national pride, and international commercial competition? The 1893 Chicago Fair boasted its entertainment “Midway” as well as sc ientific exhibits, and visitors to the New York Fair in 1939 may well have been more impressed by the simulated (模拟的) 250-foot parachute jump than by the first speech by a president to be shown on television, or the first color film for home movie cameras.11. How much did a ticket to the 1939-40 New York Fair cost?A) 5 cents. B) 57 cents. C) 75 cents. D) 80 cents.12. The word “showcase” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.A) be put in a case B) display C) purchase D) be bought13. Which nation organized most of the international exhibitions between 1850 and 1900?A) Great Britain. B) France. C) England. D) The United States.14. We can conclude from the passage that the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus’s arrival should have been celebrated in _______________.A) 1892 B) 1893 C) 1894 D) 189515. What was one important feature of the 1893 Chicago Exposition?A) Presidential speech. B) Historical conference.C) Athletic competition. D) Entertainment and scientific displays.Section BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).Teen smoking rates have been dropping since 1997, federal health officials report today, but more than a quarter of high school students still smoke cigarettes.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says roughly 29% of American high school students are smokers, down from 36% in 1997. The finding confirms other studies that show a decline in smoking in this age group.The trend is occurring across all race and age groups and in both boys and girls, says Terry Pechacek of the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. If trends continue, the report says, the national goal to reduce teen smoking rates to 16% or lower by 2010 is achievable.Pechacek attributes the decline to a 70% jump in the price of cigarettes from the end of 1997 to May 2001, along with expanded school, state and national smoking-prevention efforts. By 2000, the report says, 92% of the USA's school districts required tobacco-prevention education, and nearly half of middle and senior high schools had no-smoking policies.To keep teen smoking rates on a downward path, Pechacek says, cigarette prices should continue to rise and smoking-prevention campaigns should expand. “We’ve got it going in the right direction,” he says, “but we can’t be sati sfied with what we have got. If we’re going to continue to decline, we’ve got to continue those efforts.”The data being released today are part of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a national school-based survey of 14,601 students in grades 9-12 that was conducted in spring 2001.SAQ 1. This report mainly discusses ____________________.SAQ 2. From 1997 to 2001, the smoking rate in America high school students has dropped by _____________ percentage point.SAQ 3. What did the US want to achieve in fighting teen smoking by the year 2010?SAQ 4. The drop in teen smoking rate was a result of _____________________ as well as efforts from various sectors to prevent smoking.SAQ 5. What should be the next step to reduce teen smoking rate according to Pechacek?Part II Vocabulary and Structure (35 minutes, 45marks)Section ADirections:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1. The son’s doing well in school was mainly because of_______.A. the aim to go abroad in the futureB. the duty to support the familyC. the goal of owning a fast PorscheD. the decision to live on his own2.

Which of the following can be used as the title of the text?A. Wanting is more fun than having.B. Patience results in success.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise，the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that _______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other2. In a more traditional society, old people ________.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.5. The main idea of the passage is ______.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants.

And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office." His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from the 5 are only complaints (抱怨). They complain that they 6 work 7 , that it is 8 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated 9 and enjoy the 10 of others' work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, "I find it 11 to be a section chief as I was before. I don't like management work. I like driving, just for 12 . It's 13 that I 14 drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. Any 15 ? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes 16 , I go northward. If it goes along the highway,I turn into a 17 street. In this way I always get customers.His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 18 in his job.

About a hundred years ago the word was used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be such sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can make a lot of money.For example, a football player in England earns more than 50000 pounds in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.It is possible for middle class people to engage tin sports like golf, tennis and motor racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport.An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say, “ Buy our things.” It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as …” famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people‟s spare time.1.The word “sport” now usually means____C____.A. something done by sportsmen in their spare timeB. hunting wild animals and birdsC. organized gamesD. school sports and games2.A professional sportsman is something who___A____.A. makes money in his spare timeB. play all the timeC. earns money by playing a sportD. play for his country and the people3.Most people spend a lot of their spare time playing a sport because they___B_____.A. would like toB. have to do soC. want to earn some moneyD. will be stars4.Famous sportsmen perhaps earn more money from___D_____.A.

When we buy clothes, there are more factors to take into consideration: size, price and durabili ty.Functional considerations in buying clothes are obvious because we wear different clothes for different seasons and different occasions. We rule out any possibility of buying an article unless it fits us perfectly. For most of us, price and durability still greatly influence our buying. But as people‟s pockets become more and more bulging nowadays, these two factors carry less and less weight when people make their decisions at a fashion shop.Perhaps the most difficult decision to make in buying a piece of clothing is about its style in esthetical grounds: its shape, its color, the texture of its material, and its workmanship. As what we wear tells stories about us, showing to others what kind of people we are and what kind of taste we have, we can not afford to be careless about this. We try a coat on and stand before a mirror, turning this way and that, imaging how others would think of us in it. When finally we decided to take it, it is because we are convinced that we have properly exercised our taste in addition to other practical considerations.1.We buy clothes for all of the following reasons except ___D___.A. it can keep us from coldB. it looks good on usC. we like its colorD. we have money2.The fact that we wear different clothes for different seasons and occasions is a good example of __B___.A. the clothes‟ deco rational roleB. the clothes‟ functional roleC. the clothes‟ pric e factorD. the clothes‟ size factor3.What is the least important factor considered by a rich customer in a fashion shop?A.
