Section A（每小题2分，共30分）
Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Disney World, Florida, is the biggest amusement resort in the world. It covers 24.4
thousand acres, size of Manhattan. It was opened on October 1, 1971, five years after Walt Disney‟s death, and it is a larger, slightly more ambitious version of Disneyland near Los Angeles. Foreigners tend to associate Walt Disney with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and with his other famous cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto, or with his nature films, whose superb photography is spoiled, in the opinion of some, by the vulgarity（粗俗）of the commentary and musical background. There is very little that could be called vulgar（粗俗的）in Disney World. It attracts people of most taste and most income groups, and people of all ages, from toddlers to grandpas. There are two expensive hotels, a golf course, and forest trails for horseback riding and rivers for canoeing. But the central attraction of the resort is the Magic Kingdom.
Between the huge parking lots and the Magic Kingdom lies a broad artificial lake. In the distance rise the towers of Cinderella‟s Castle, which like every other building in the Kingdom is built of solid materials. Even getting to the Magic Kingdom is quite an adventure. You have a choice of transportation. You can either cross the lake on a replica of a Mississippi paddle wheeler, or you can glide around the shore in a streamlined monorail train.
When you reach the terminal, you walk straight into a little square which faces Main Street. Main Street is of late 19th century. There are modern shops inside the buildings, but all the decades are of the period. There are hanging baskets full of red and white flowers, and there is no traffic except a horse drawn streetcar and an ancient double decked bus. Yet as you walk through the magic Kingdom, you are actually walking on top of a network of underground roads. This is how the shops, restaurants and all the other material needs of the Magic Kingdom are.

Passage 2
If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to be blamed, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means —practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.

D. insufficient education
28. The author seems to advise us .
A. to play tennis to improve our memory
B. to complain about nothing but our health
C. to blame ourselves rather than our parents for the poor memory
D. to learn from those who cannot read or write

A. the poorer one is, the better his memory
B. memory can be improved by practicing it
C. the poor and humble people may help you remember things

Passage 3
People are always talking about “the problem of youth”. If there is one, then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings —people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him; and maybe that is where the rub is.
When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain —that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.
I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitious or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It is as if they were in some sense cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He maybe conceited, ill-mannered, or too self-confident but I do not turn for protection to dreary clichés（陈腐观点）about respect for elders as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accepted that we were equals, and I will argue
with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong.

And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my 36 from the charge so clearly depended on.

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not 46 regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days 47 the party date. 48 this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in 49 , because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be 50 .
The 51 of time differ in different parts of the world. 52 , misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that 53 time differently. Promptness is much 54 in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully 55
. In the U.S. no one would think of 56 a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. When 57 meet, a person who is five minutes late is 58 to make a short apology. If he is less than
five minutes late, he will say a few words of 59 , though perhaps he will not 60 the sentence.
To Americans, forty minutes of waiting is the 61 of the “insult period”. No matter 62 is said in apology, there is little that can remove the 63 done by an hour‟s wait. 64 in some other countries, a forty-minute waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the 65 waiting scale, it was just the beginning.
