Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2). How old was Mrs. Stowe when her world famous book was published? ( )A. About 60 years old.B.Over 50 years old.C.In her forties.D. Around 30 years old.(3). What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop4. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.

They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives." A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.21．The best title for this passage is Language and Culture. AA：TB：F22．According to this passage, the only way to learn a foreign language is to begin by learning its body language. BA：TB：F23．According to this passage, gestures are pictures in a language.

He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his money, and then she used to give him back enough to buy his lunch in the office every day.One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there."You'll never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said.He waited for a few seconds and then added, "I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!""That's wonderful!" said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily, "But wait a moment! How could you afford to buy the lottery tickets?"(1)、The small man was allowed to keep just enough to buy his lunch in the office every day. A A：TB：F(2)、The man won a lottery one day.

BA：TB：F2、Down the entrance hall of the school walk four eighth-grade students. Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. "If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it's also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved in having a child. "It was really hard," said one student, "You had to think all the time about the egg."(6)、The purpose of the program is to help students grasp the idea of ___B___.A：carrying a basket with an eggB：bringing up a babyC：laying eggsD：studying hard at school(7)、At the beginning, __B____.A：only one student joined the programB：four students in all were interested in the programC：eight students became members of the programD：more students than teachers liked the program(8)、In the third line of Paragraph 2, "they" refers to ___C___.A：teachersB：studentsC：eggsD：programs(9)、Why should the students in the program spend half an hour each day sitting with an egg and just watching it? CA：Because it is very boring to have the egg with them at all times.B：Because the teachers in this program are very strict.C：Because only in this way can students understand parents in taking care of children.D：Because if students do not do it, they will fail in the examination.(10)、From the last paragraph, we can infer that __D____.A：a program is the only way to educate childrenB：one has to think about a program all the timeC：only one child grasps the purpose of the programD：the program is of help to children's understanding of parents3、We say that a person has good manners if he or she behaves politely and is kind and helpful to others. Everyone likes a person with good manners but no one likes a person with bad manners. "Yes", you may say , " but what are good manners? How do I know what to do and what not to do?"People all over the world agree that being well-mannered really means being kind and helping others, especially to those older or weaker than ourselves. If you remember this, you will not go very far wrong.Here are some examples of the things that a well-mannered person does or does not do.He never laughs at people when they are in trouble.Instead, he tries to help them. He is always kind, never cruel, either to people or to animals. When people are waiting for a bus, or in a post office, he takes his turn.He does not push to the front of the queue. In the bus, he gives his seat to an old person or a lady who is standing. If he accidentally bumps into someone, or gets in their way, he says, "excuse me" or "I'm sorry".He says "please" when making a request, and "thank you" when he receives something. He stands up when speaking to a lady or an older person, and he does not sit down until the other person is seated. He does not interrupt other people when they are talking.

第一次Why do smokers tend to weigh less than nonsmokers and gain weight when they give up the habit?Contrary to“common knowledge”,nonsmokers do not generally eat more than smokers, nor do they exercise less, studies find. Research performed on smokers at rest indicates that nicotine (尼古丁) itself can increase basal metabolic (新陈代谢的) rates,meaning smokers burn more energy than nonsmokers during periods of inactivity. But surveys suggest most smokers smoke not while completely at rest, but while performing light activities such as desk work that can increase metabolic rates by two or three times.Unless nicotine’s metabolic effects increase proportionally with metabolic rates, its influence on weight might be insignificant.Now a study shows that nicotine’s e ffects on body-fuel consumption indeed increase proportionally with increases in activity.“These results indicate that the metabolic effect of nicotine may play a greater part in accounting for body-weight differences between smokers and nonsmokers than w as previously believed,” says Kenneth A. Perkins and his colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.The researchers gave a nicotine nose spray to individuals performing light work— in this case riding an exercise bicycle modified to allow easy riding while subjects remain seated in a comfortable armchair. The activity raised resting metabolic rates two to three times.By analyzing air breathed out, the researchers calculated energy consumption in the armchair bicyclists before and after giving the nose spray and compared the relative changes with subjects in the control group given placebo (（试验药物用的）无效对照剂) nose sprays. Relative to their baseline bicycle expenditures, individuals in the nicotine group expended considerably more energy than did those in control group while doing the same amount of work. With nicotine, Perkins says, “It’s as if the body is becoming much less efficient in using its stored energy.”While the results may seem discouraging to smokers who’d like to quit without gaining weight, Perkins notes that walking an extra mile a day should make up for the difference in metabolic efficiency. And he says smokers would have to gain “well more than 50 pounds” to counterbalance the health risks of continued smoking.1.What mig ht “common knowledge” say about smokers and nonsmokers?A)Smokers eat more and exercise more than nonsmokers.B)Smokers eat less and exercise less than nonsmokers.C)Smokers eat less and exercise more than nonsmokers.D)Smokers eat more and exercise less than nonsmokers.答案：C2.When might nicotine influence smokers’ weight significantly?A)When Nicotine’s metabolic effects and metabolicrates increase at the same rate. √B)While smokers are exercising.C)While smokers are at rest.D)When Nicotine’s metabolic effects increaseproportionally with the amount of light activities.答案：A3.The word “subjects” in the fourth paragraph means .A)people under medical treatmentB)researchersC)people undergoing an experiment √D)addicted smokers答案：C4.What have the researchers found out in their study?A)People in the armchair expended more energy thanpeople doing desk work.B)People in the control group breathed out more air.C)People without nicotine nose spray are becoming muchless efficient in using energy.D)People in the nicotine group consumed more energy.√答案：D5.Why do the study results seem discouraging to some smokers according to the passage?A)Because they want to gain weight to tackle the healthrisks of continued smoking.B)Because they want to quit smoking and still keep fit.C)Because they want to walking an extra mile a day tolose some weight.D)Because they want to keep fit without having to quitsmoking.答案：BA certain amount of controversy has been caused by the publication of a new report by a team of educationalists headed by Pro. B. J. Smith. The report claims to have statistical evidence that children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move around the country are more than normally vulnerable to a vicious cycle of low academic achievement.There are also indications,says Professor Smith,of an unusually high rate of psychological dismay among such children.The professor,who has long suspected that the effect on children whose parents travel to different parts of the country in search of work has not been sufficiently researched, stresses that this is not merely an expression of prejudice. “We are not dealing here with opinions,”he says,“It’s true,my personal feeling is that for children’s well-being,they should stay in one school.However,our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that I or my colleagues may have on the subject.”Capt. Thomas Muller, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two,said,“I’ve never heard such rubbish.As far as I’m concerned,absolutely no harm is done to the education of children who change schools regularly— as long as they keep to the same system as in our Army school. In my experience—and I’ve known quite a few of them— Army children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the Professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt m uch better than adults.”When this was put to Professor Smith,he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or dismayed in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency.“Our findings in dicate that while the extremely bright child can cope with regular emotional turbulence without harming his or her general academic progress,the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning environment.”6.What does Profes sor Smith’s report suggest?A)Children shouldn’t change schools too often. √B)Children who have to move around the country arebetter at academic achievement.C)Children attending many schools have caused a certainamount of controversy.D)Children who attend different schools are morevulnerable to vicious diseases.答案：A7.What does Professor Smith think of the findings of the research?A)They are proved by the research. √B)They are just based on his personal feeling.C)They may merely be an expression of prejudice.D)They are based on personal attitudes.答案：A8.What does Capt. Thomas Muller think of children who change schools regularly?A)They can actually deal with the new environmentbetter than adults. √B)They do no harm to the education.C)They find it difficult to keep to the same system.D)They are generally ill-adjusted.答案：A9.How does Professor Smith defend himself again Capt. Thomas Muller?A)He suggests that children having regular emotionalturbulence do not harm their academic progress.B)He argues that only a few children will suffer fromchanging schools regularly.C)He stresses that the majority of children tend tosuffer from constantly adapting to a new learningenvironment. √D)He believes that extremely bright child likes toenter a new learning environment.答案：C10.What does the passage mainly talk about?A)How army children get used to a new learningenvironment.B)Whether children would be affected by changingscho ols regularly. √C)The procedure Professor Smith followed to conduct astudy.D)The opinions people have about children who oftenchange schools.答案：BRecently there has been a tendency to sympathize with thieves whose operations have been carried out on a grand scale, and no attempt whatever has been made to hold them responsible.Some of the most thievish(像窃贼的)transactions have flourished and are still flourishing. Their success and their wealth are the only things recognized.They are honored as financiers and men of affairs,looked up to and respected.In reality they are nothing more and nothing less than a lot of merciless and heartless thieves. Fraud is fraud and cheating is cheating despite the artistic manner in which it is committed or the size of the scale upon which it is operated.It is time these men were classed properly and placed where they rightly belong, for they are no better than the miserable sneak-thief who steals a penny from a blind man’s dog.For the past two or three years working people who have made sacrifices to save a few pennies have been cheated most unmercifully. Their hard-earned savings have been stolen from them by every possible scheme from the obvious looting (打劫) of a bank to the higher and more artistic method of legalized high risk,complex financial products. Men high up in the financial world have lent their names to some of the most shady and notorious schemes that ever dishonored a community or a people. Because of this the most diligent and economical (节俭的) American people have been induced to place their hard-earned and carefully guarded savings in what they were led to believe was a safe investment, only to find out when too late that they had fallen into the hands of a gang of extremely respectable cheats.They cannot recover what they have lost.The thief is too powerful to be affected by the law while the victim is too weak to put its machinery in motion. It may be that the law is defective, or it may be that those having its machinery in charge are influenced by the wealth of the transgressors (违犯者). Whatever or whichever it is that is responsible ought to be investigated and the evil remedied.11.What does the tendency mentioned in the first paragraph reflect?A)People encourage some of the most thievishtransactions to flourish.B)People only respect success and wealth without anymoral judgment. √C)People prefer to carry out operations on a grandscale.D)People have made attempt to hold thieves responsible.答案：B12.How did working people lose their hard-earned savings?A)They lent their money to men high up in the financialworld.B)They were cheated by the bank. √C)They were unlucky in investment.D)They were robbed by the thieves nearby.答案：B13.When the writer says “a gang of extremely respectable cheats” in Paragraph Four, it is implied that .A)they are well-educated but ill-behaved √B)they are respectable in artistic cheatingC)they are cheats with respectable goalsD)they are not well-educated but respected答案：A14.What could be a possible reason for the thieves to escape from law according to the passage?A)They are powerful enough to ignore the law.B)There are defects in the law. √C)They are wealthy enough to compensate the victims.D)The victim is too weak to investigate them.答案：B15.It can be inferred from the passage that .A)there are too many thieves and robbersB)industrious and honest people should be highly paidC)moral standards are always upheldD)any thief should be punished √答案：DPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish,for example,will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese,for example,because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish,while Chinese is very different,so first language can affect learning a second language.The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system,and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners.However,for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role,as well as each learner's motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian.This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel,who are generally used to learning languages,the most difficulties.Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system,which uses a similar alphabet,but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.16.Why is it hard to say which language is the most difficult to learn?A)Because it is only relevant when learning a secondlanguage.B)Because differences between languages areunimportant.C)Because people learn their mother tongue naturally.D)Because many factors have to be considered. √答案：D17.Who will find Portuguese much easier to learn?A) A native speaker of JapaneseB) A native speaker of HungarianC) A native speaker of Spanish √D) A native speaker of Chinese答案：C18.What is the most problematic language to British diplomats and other embassy staff?C)HungarianA)Japanese B)Spanish D)Chinese√答案：C19.Why do many people think Chinese is the hardest language to learn?A)Because the pronunciation of Chinese is difficult.√B)Because the grammar of Chinese is complex.C)Because Chinese is not directly used in their life.D)Because Chinese uses the Roman alphabet.答案：A20.What factors cannot affect learning a second language according to the passage?A)each learner's motivation for learningB)neighboring countries √C)teachers and the circumstancesD)first language答案：BIn1976,Winkler wrote a My Turn about the overwhelming reaction to the character he played on the popular television sitcom (情景喜剧), “Happy Days”. The show was at its peak,and Fonzie was its superstar.In fact,Americans related so strongly to the character that Winkler became apparently permanently part of the country’s broad, extended family. Three decades later, fans still greet the actor with Fonzie’s signature thumbs-up sign and a long, drawn out “Aaay!”“All these years later, the warmth I am treated with is unbelievable, and it’s all over the world,”Winkler says.He no longer receives the50,000fan letters a year that he got during “Happy Days”’s original run, but they still come by the hundreds. And on the street, folks tend to have a common reaction. “They thank me for making them laugh for so long. They say, ‘I grew up with you,’ or ‘my children grew up with you,’ or, ‘we sat and watched it together’,” he says.Winkler says his Fonzie days came back to him vividly as he read over his old My Turn.Cast on his28th birthday,the Yale-trained performer had been a struggling actor, dreaming of fame. The dream turned real very quickly. “We were hardly onthe air when this thing started to snowball,going from zero to60in about three seconds,” Winkler recalls.Today,Winkler gives speeches to college students about living their dreams, focusing on how to become a successful actor. “If you are determined, have a sense of humor and never take your eye off what it is you want, you can actually have it,”he says.Winkler is also at work on his first children’s book, co-authoring with Lin Oliver. He was recently named executive producer of“Hollywood Squares”and producesthe show “Intuition” on the Game Show Network. His next movie, “Holes”, based ona children’s book,is scheduled for release this winter.In October2000,Winkler made his Broadway debut costarring with John Ritter in the show“The Dinner Party.”But th rough it all, Winkler remains Fonzie. “I think he is the architect of my home, of my professional life,and of my good fortune in the world,”Winkler says.“He literally is the foundation for everything that was to come.”21.Which of the following is NO T mentioned as fans’reaction to Fonzie?A)Fans write lots of letters to Winkler for many years.B)Fans thank Winkler when they meet him on the street.C)Fans greet Winkler by imitating Fonzie’s signature.D)Fans sit and watch the sitcom together with Winkler.√答案：D22.Which of the following influences him most according to the author?A)The television sitcom “Happy Days”. √B)The show “The Dinner Party”.C)The movie “Holes”.D)The show “Intuition”.答案：A23.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A)Winkler spent long time struggling to make his dreamcome true.B)successful actor must have a sense of humor.C)Fans like Winkler as a superstar only for a few years.D)Fonzie usually utters a long,dra wn out“Aaay!”in“Happy Days”. √答案：D24.What does the word “snowball” in Paragraph three most probably mean?.A)throw atC)grow rapidly √答案：C B) a ball made of snow D)melt easily25.Which of the following is the author primarily concerned with in this passage?A)Winkler’s article My TurnB)Fans’ reaction to Fonzie played by WinklerC)Winkler’s life as an actorD)Winkler and his sitcom “Happy Days” √答案：D第二次We all laugh.We all hurt.We all make mistakes.We all dream,th at’s life.It’s a journey. Please follow these rules to make the journey of your life a journey of joy! Staying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill, new study findings suggest.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny disposition (性格) were less likely to fall ill. The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine,build on evidence that a“positive emotional style”c an help ward off the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy people being less troubled by a scratchy throat or runny nose.“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune response to the virus,”explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as being less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional trait itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality traits,self-perceived health and emotional“style”.Thosewho tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense and hostile had a negative style. The researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, or sneezing (打喷嚏) they had, while the researchers collected objective data. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes (鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.1.The new study findings in the experiment suggest that _________.A)Having a good disposition is more likely to get ill.B)Being optimistic is more probable to keep healthy.√C)Having a negative emotion is harmful to thecharacter.D)Staying positive is more likely to catch cold.答案：B2.The phrase “ward off” in Paragraph 2 most probably means“_________”.A)shrug C)keep D)setB)give inoff away √aside答案：C3.It can be inferred from Dr. Sheldon Cohen’s interpretation that ______________.A)people with a positive emotion are more likely tointerpret their illness objectively.B)people with a negative emotion are more likely toboost immune function to the virus.C)people with a negative emotion are more likely tointerpret their illness subjectively.D)people with a positive emotion are more likely toregard their illness a s less serious. √答案：D4.It can be learnt from the passage that the benefits of having a positive emotional style are _____________.A)to be further studiedB)still dubiousC)self-evidentD)proven by scientific research √答案：D5.Which of the following would be the best TITLE for the passage?A) A Happy Journey Full of JoyB)Scientific Evidence of Staying HealthyC)The Secrets of Staying PositiveD)The Health Benefits of Staying Positive √答案：DHow is it that despite our amazing powers of production there are still hundreds ofmillions of people all over the earth in continuous want and poverty,anddangerously near the brink of starvation? What are the causes of poverty? Everyoneis forced to realize and recognize its existence and no one has yet found a cure for it.Every thinking man has realized that poverty and starvation are not inevitable in thescheme of things. On the contrary, the fruitful earth yields enough for every one ofthe human beings inhabiting its surface without the twisted distribution of nature’s generosity(慷慨).This twisting is caused by our crude and ill developed ideas ofdistribution and the improper ordering of human services.In the first place,theseservices can be hindered at their source, and among the factors that operate in thisdirection may be war,crime,lack of healthy supervision,insufficient attention torising generations, monopolies (垄断) and various private ownerships that limit theusefulness of property, and neglected and wasteful destruction of property.In the second place,the great cause of poverty is unproductive consumption.Services become unproductive when they are devoted to supplying luxuries or anexcessive quantity of necessaries, which may be summed up in a single word: waste.These are the primary causes of poverty;they are responsible for the presence ofstarvation.Is there a remedy?The elimination of waste through perfect production and distribution is a problem that is slowly but surely being solved by the great combinations of capital that have destroyed competition.These monopolies,selfish in the extreme and with no thought beyond profit at any price, are rendering us useful service by teaching us the importance of cooperation and cooperative methods.When these great industrial combinations, these wonderfully smooth running great business machines become the property of all the people and cease to be operated for private gain, a great step will have been taken in the direction of the solution of the starvation problem. When everyone will produce according to his ability and consume according to his needs, then, and not until then will poverty and starvation depart entirely and forever from the minds of men.6.According to the passage, starvation _____.A)is due to excessive consumption by human beingsB)is inevitable in whatever conditionC)is owing to the improper distribution of nature’sgenerosity √D)is the result of insufficient production答案：C7.Which of the following can hinder human services at their source?A)Crime and lack of wealthy supervision.B)Private ownerships and unproductive consumption.C)War and destruction of property. √D)Luxuries and an excessive quantity of necessaries.答案：C8.Why does unproductive consumption is considered as the great cause of poverty in Paragraph Three?A)Because people stop producing but only consume.B)Because people who don’t produce are responsible forthe presence of starvation.C)Because people devote too much to luxuries and don’tproduce anything.D)Because people are supplied with excessive quantityof necessaries and waste a lot. √答案：D9.How to eliminate waste through production and distribution according to the passage?A)By seeking profit at any price and being selfish.B)By cooperating and making the industrialcombinations public property. √C)By creating more monopolies to make more profits.D)By privatizing business machines and teaching theimportance of cooperation.答案：B10.When can the starvation problem be solved according to the passage?A)When the great industrial combinations cease to beoperated for private gain.B)When private monopolies become public property andthe element of profit is eliminated.C)When production is organized based on personalcapabilities and distribution on individual needs. √D)When efficiency of production has been greatlyenhanced.答案：CMY NEIGHBOR HAS A GUN. In fact, not having the good fortune to live in the last house on a dead-end street, I am surrounded by neighbors with guns. My situation is hardly novel,since most American households own at least one weapon.We now have enough privately owned guns to arm nearly every man, woman and child in the country.And some of those children are not just imaginary gun users,as recent statistics indicate.My neighbors’guns make me nervous;I’m afraid that they might go off at the wrong time,pointed in the wrong direction.I’ve asked why such dangerous items are allowed to clutter up the house. I’ve gotten several answers, from constitutional rights to the innocent sport of blasting birds out of the skies.I’d like to focus on just one of these reasons.My neighbor tells me that curling up at night with his gun nearby makes him feel safer.Safer from what? A madman out to better the going entry in the“Guinness Book of World Records” for bloody brutal ity? My neighbor faces far less danger from the mentally ill killer, who fortunately is extremely rare, than he does from my other neighbor who also has a gun.Contrary to the public myth,mental patients have crime rates far below those of my neighbor or me; for all categories of crime and for homicide in particular.One of the few safe places left to live in this gun-packing country is on the grounds of your local mental hospital, where the residents are far less aggressive than my neighbor and guns are checked in at the gate.Safer from some intruder (侵入者) in the night seeking to deprive his wife of her virtue or him of his new color television? According to best available estimates, my neighbor’s odds of doing himself in accidentally with his own g un are about five times higher than his odds of being done in by some intruder. As a gun owner, my neighbor would be better advised to invest his money in locks and a loud dog. Actually, the intruder in the night accounts for fewer than three percent of our gun deaths. The bulk comes from perfectly law-abiding (守法的) but gun-toting (持枪的) people like my neighbors, who kill each other, themselves, or me.11.Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?A)Some American children have used gun to kill people.√B)Every person in this country knows how to use guns.C)Each American household owns at least one weapon.D)The author lives in the last house on a dead-endstreet.答案：A12.Which of the following may be NOT the reason w hy neighbors’guns make the author nervous?A)Their arms might kill me by accident.B)Dislike the sport of blasting birds out of the skies.。

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille ( a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, ,Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.C11. Which of the following best summarize this passage?A) When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communicationB) Everybody uses only one form of communication.C) Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreignersD) Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastestC12. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) There are many forms of communication in existence todayB) Verbalization is the most common form of communicationC) The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communicationD) Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by languageB13. Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?A) Picture sign B) Braille C) Body language D) SignalflagsC14. How many different forms of communication are mentioned here?A)2-4 B)5-7 C)8-10 D) over 10A15. Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally as it doesn’t represent _____________.A) Spellings B) whole words C) ideas D) feelings Passage 2College brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart –ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.A16.What is the theme of the passage?A) Relationships in college B)Homework in collegeC) Freedom in collegeD)Party in collegeB17.

What does the author say to do if you’re depressed?A) Go somewhere by yourself B)Talk to someone about itC) Try to forget about it D) See a psychologist immediatelyPassage 3Our family is trying to decide where to go for our vacation this summer. Our son, Tom, wants to go to Yellow Stone Park again to see the bears. We did that last summer and what an experience it was! When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out and then we saw a bear enter our camp. Tom wanted his father to chase himaway. His father said, "No, it's dangerous to chase a bear, and don't let him chase you!" Susie said"What shall we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree." Tom said, "No, we've got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent." "Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested. Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent."We watched the bear enter the tent and heard him upset everything inside. "It's foolish for us to try to catch him," said my husband, "leave him alone and wait for him to come out." We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car.B21. The family have decided to go camping in the vacation this summer.A.TB.FA22. Susie saw the bear first.A.TB.FB23.
