Decide on the best answers antl then write the corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The old fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff was concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The moderm supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise; and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.1. The main purpose of the passage is to show ______.A. how the supermarket replaces the old general storeB. how the old fashioned general store is fast disappearingC. how supermarket managers deal with problems every morningD. how the role of the shop manager undergoes an overall change2. It is a pity that there are fewer old general stores now because _______.A. there is less trading businessB. there used to be more social activities in the old daysC. supermarket managers have more problemsD. there is less personal contact between manager and customer3. Who are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph?A. People representing any of the regular customers of the old general store.B. Shop assistants.C. Friends of the shop manager’s.D. Two regular customers of the store.4. How has the job of the store manager changed?A. He doesn’t sell tea or washing powder any more.B. He has a much larger staff to take care of, to say nothing of all the other daily problems of running the store.C. He must try hard to remember the names of the regular customers.D. He has to give advice and make decisions every day.5. The author compared the supermarket manager to ______.A. a military leaderB. a school inspectorC. a traffic supervisorD. an orchestra conductorPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers, decided that the American colonists should help pay some of the expenses of this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a Series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of thesemeasures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia-Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. “Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”6. From the passage we learn that ______.A. Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1 763B. there had been a war between the French and the Indianswhich ended in 1763C. France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD. the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris7. The Grenville Program refers to ______.A. King George III’s plan to gather money in North AmericaB. the British government’s desire to raise money in North AmericaC. a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD. a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies8. The Stamp Act ______.A. was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB. was one of the causes of the American RevolutionC. required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themD. chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses9. From the passage we learn that Patrick Henry ______.A. had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB. didn’t know what courses to tak e to complete his studies as a lawyerC. was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD. didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did10. This passage is mainly about ______.A. one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB. the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC. the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD. Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibilityfor all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home.The breakup of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U.S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children’s emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent’s own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.11. In the past, American families tended to be ______.A. quite smallB. medium-sizedC. quite largeD. small12. To parents who take the responsibility for children’s expenses, the cost of living increases because ______.A. children attend school for less yearsB. children are worse dressedC. children have more interests nowadaysD. children spend more money on entertainment13. What problems would broken families bring to children and parents respectively?A. Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents didn’t pay much attention to children.B. Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children.C. Children are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself or herself.D. Children grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little time for his or her own interests because one parent is too busy taking care of children.14. According to the author, the situations of American families in the future may ______.A. become worseB. remain the sameC. get betterD. keep unchanged15. The title of the article might be ______.A. American ChildrenB. American FamiliesC. American MotherD. American ParentsPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism” —but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership ofequals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the creditnor the blame. We h ave almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism（命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的，中肯的) not only to healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.16. The danger in the sharing of household tasks between the mother and the father is that ______.A. the role of the father may become an inferior oneB. the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC. the children believe that life is a battle of sexesD. sharing leads to constant arguing17. The author states that bringing up children ______.A. is mainly the mother’s jobB. belongs to the duties of the fatherC. is the job of schools and churchesD. involves a partnership of equals18. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is ______.A. fundamental to a sound democracyB. not pertinent to a healthy familyC. responsible for MomismD. what we have almost given up19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is ______.A. minor because he is an ineffectual parentB. irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC. pertinent to the healthy development of the childD. identical to the role of the child’s mother20. Which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree with?A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only intheory.D. A woman’s place in the home now is the same as that in the past.II. Speed Reading. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Skim or scan the following passages. Decide on the best answers and then writethe corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage FiveQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let’s a ssume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal withdeceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check upon degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them “impostors (骗子)”; another refers to them as “special cases”. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by “no such people”. To avoid outright lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attended” or “were associated with” a college or univer sity, After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that “being associated with” a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century——that’s when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don’t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”. The pricesincrease rap idly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.21. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. employers are checking more closely on applicants nowB. lying about college degrees has become a widespread problemC. college degrees can now be purchased easilyD. employers are no longer interested in college degrees22. According to the passage, “special cases” refer to cases that ______.A. students attended a school only part-timeB. students never attended a school they listed on their application formsC. students purchased false degrees from commercial firmsD. students attended a famous school23. Fr om the sentence “job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend” (Para.2), we can infer that _____.A. the job-seeker is a student in that collegeB. the job-seeker’s brother is a student in that collegeC. neither the two are students in that collegeD. the job-seeker lives in that college24. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. performance is a better judge of ability than a college degreeB. experience is the best teacherC. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees doD. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition25. The underlined word “phony” (Para.2) means ______.A. thoroughB. falseC. ultimateD. decisivePassage SixQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passageAre you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some put their hearts and efforts into their work. Too many turn to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers look for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in common: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have learned many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I’ll be happy when I get that extra 20 pounds.” It is dangerous bec ause it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something.In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when ...”It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want. On the contrary, we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.26. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?A. Some people are happy when they work hard.B. Some people are happy when they drink or take drugs.C. Some people are happy when they get well-paid jobs.D. Some people are happy when they possess their own expensive cars.27. Generally speaking, most people feel happy because ______.A. they think happiness is rooted in their deep heartsB. they get what they want to haveC. they get a long vacationD. they get a great paying job28. In the author’s opinion, which of the following.is the most important if you want to be happy?A. Losing weightB. An expensive carC. Success in workD. Feeling happy29. Which of the following is right according to the author?A. Most people today are happy.B. Most people choose to be unhappy most of the time.C. Work is a necessary part in our daily life.D. We try to get more and then we’ll be happy.30. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is ______.A. limitedB. out of reachC. unconditionalD. based on our needsIII. Discourse Cloze. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: The following passage is taken from the textbook. Read the passage and fill in the numbered spaces (there are more suggested answers than necessary). Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Miller uses the techniques of the modern theatre to the full. He is not satisfied with simply employing the devices oflights and sound as an addition to the acting, 31. ______. This is a deliberate attempt to make the theatre as a whole, not merely the actors, express the messages of the play. Mechanical devices assume, then, a symbolic significance—they represent an essential meaning or idea in the play in physical terms. They express a meamng — 32. ______.Miller was writing for a middle-class audience. His plays were performed on Broadway,33. ______. Therefore they reached only a small proportion of the population Miller uses this fact (that the plays reached only a relatively small proportion of the population) to advantage in Death of a Salesman, where he examines American middle-class ideas and beliefs. He was able to place before his audience Willy Loman, 34. ______, oneswhich have been summed up by the phrase “the American Dream”. The American Dream is a combination of beliefs in the unity of the family, the healthiness of competition in society, the need for success and money, and the view that 35. ______. Some of these are connected: America seemed at one stage in history to offer alternatives to the European way of life; she seemed to be the New World, vast, having plenty of land and riches for all of its people, all of whom could share in the wealth of the nation. America was a land of opportunity. This belief is still apparent, even in twentieth-century America, with its large urban population, and Miller uses it in his plays, in order to state something significant about American society. In such a land, where all people have a great deal of opportunity, success should come fahly easily, 36. ______. To become successful in the American Dream means to believe in competition, to reach the top as quickly as possible by proving oneself better than others. Success is judged by the amount of wealth which can be acquired by an individual. 37. ______. Money and success mean stability; and stability can be seen in the family unit. The family is a guideline to success. 38. ______. These ideas should always be kept in mind when Death of a Salesman is considered.Another point to consider is Miller’s conception of what the theatre should do. He is both a psychological and a social dramatist.39. ______. Often, these people are ordinary, everyday types, but ones whose actions are made significant by the dramatist. For example, the lives of ordinary citizens going about their daily business in their homes may not obviously appear interesting, but the dramatist can indicate that their daily lives are important, that they are interesting or unusual as people and that the audience may see their own situations and psychological states reflected in the characters the dramatist has created. Death of a Salesman is a good example of this. Of course, all dramatists and novelists try to make the actions of their characters relevant to other people, and most analyze closely the minds of the characters they have created in order to establish what makes them function as individuals. Where Miller differs from many of the others is 40. ______. Most of his heroes are ordinary people: they do not seem to be different from anyone who can be met in any street; and this, it might be argued, adds force to his plays, since none of the characters are remote—we share their feelings, and understand their difficulties. Also, Miller is able to show that everyday people can rise above the ordinary when challenged.(From Miller’s Theatre and Miller’s Idea s)A. a man who shared many of their idealsB. America is the great land in which free opportunity for all existsC. hence the term “expressionist” is often used to describe Miller as a dramatistD. but indicates in the stage directions of his plays precisely when a particular form of lighting or piece of sound is to be usedE. so an unsuccessful man could feel bitter about his failure, excluded as he was from the success around himF. This means that Miller has often been regarded as an ally of the American LeftG the center of New York’s theatrical and cultural life, and in London’s West EndH. As a psychological dramatist he studies character, the motives and reasons behind the behavior of individuals, and presents them to his audiences so that his individual characters become convincingly aliveI. People were not as stable financially because of the depression and then the 1939-45 war, and so their way of life seemed to be challengedJ. It also provides emotional stability, and a good family shares its hopes and beliefsK. Success is extemal and visible, shown in material wealth and encouragedL. in the type of person that he has createdIV. Word Formations.

His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5 year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note- “Please add a bottle ofbuttermilk next deliver y”- and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete (竞争). Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. Took it home and planted it on the back porch (门廊). Every so often my son’s son will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my childhood, and of milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out his coin changer .A. to show his magical powerB. to pay for the deliveryC. to satisfy his curiosityD. to please his mother57. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?A. He wanted to have tea there.B. He was a respectable person.C. He was treated as a family member.D. He was fully trusted by the family.58. Why dose home milk delivery no longer exist?A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B. It has been driven out of the market.C. Its service is getting poor.D. It is forbidden by law.59. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A. He missed the good old days.B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.C. He needed it for his milk bottles.D. He planted flowers in it.BThe word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been all effective way to promote (促进) the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers”to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements (ads) could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became all important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm’s name orproduct, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies (广告商).” The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism (消费主义) as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right” products.60. What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A. Merchants were employed to promote products.B. Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C. Product information was included in books.D. Ad signs were put up in towns.61. What does the word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.62. The l8th century advertising was special in its _____.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs63 Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for AdvertisingCWhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign (发起运动) for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larg er than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for (满足需要) less than half of the male (男性) population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,“Seven-foot beds would work fine.” Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.64. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. To provide better services.B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.65. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to PhilHeinricy?A. 7′2″.B. 7′ .C. 6′6″ .D. 6′3″.66. What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers.B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.67. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for larger beds.B. 6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″ beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans.D. Guest rooms are standardized.DCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband’s income. So this year she did something more than a hobby (业余爱好): She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family’s old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms. Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said,“ The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds, too; so it’s a win-win situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three-year waiting list.George C. Ball Jr., owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr. Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruit and vegetables. Food prices have increase because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there more time to garden.68. What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. chickensB. tomatoesC. gardensD. people69. By saying “a win-win situation all around”，Ms. Gartin means that ______.A. she is happier and her garden biggerB. she may spend less and lose weightC. she is selling more and buying lessD. she has grown more varieties of vegetables70. Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A. More Americans are dong it for fun.B. The price of oil is lower than before.C. There’s a growing need for fruits.D. The cost of living is on the rise.71. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Family Food PlanningB. Banking on GardeningC. A Belt-tightening MoveD. Gardening as a HobbyEWanted, Someone for a KissWe’re looking for producers to join us in t he sound of London 100 FM. You’ll work on the station’s music program mes.

Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger 25 next to him. 26 place where unplanned short sleep 27 is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so 28 that the professor has to ask another student to 29 the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing（尴尬）situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the 30 of the head pushes the arm off the 31 , and the movement carries the 32 of the body along. The student wakes up on the floor with no 33 of getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when 34 . Police reports are full of 35 that occur when people fall into sleep and go 36 the road. If the drivers are 37 , they are not seriously hurt. One woman's car, 38 , went into the river. She woke up in four feet of 39 and thought it was raining.

That is, he might make a restatement in known words e.g.It's just one more incredible result of the development of microprocessors—those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as ‘silicon chips，.(3) Example. In some cases, instead of giving a formal definition or explanation, the author may cite an example which is sufficient to throw light on the meaning of the term, e.g.Many United Nations employees are polyglots. Ms. Mary, for example, speaks five languages.V. Analyze and comment on the following. Write your answers in the space given below. ( 20% )50.

全国2011年7月高等教育自学考试英语阅读(一)试题课程代码：00595全部题目用英文作答（翻译题除外），请将答案填在答题纸相应位置上I. Careful Reading. (40 points, 2 points for each)Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answers antl then write the corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The old fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff was concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The moderm supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise; and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.1. The main purpose of the passage is to show ______.A. how the supermarket replaces the old general storeB. how the old fashioned general store is fast disappearing浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第1 页共15 页C. how supermarket managers deal with problems every morningD. how the role of the shop manager undergoes an overall change2. It is a pity that there are fewer old general stores now because _______.A. there is less trading businessB. there used to be more social activities in the old daysC. supermarket managers have more problemsD. there is less personal contact between manager and customer3. Who are Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph?A. People representing any of the regular customers of the old general store.B. Shop assistants.C. Friends of the shop manager’s.D. Two regular customers of the store.4. How has the job of the store manager changed?A. He doesn’t sell tea or washing powder any more.B. He has a much larger staff to take care of, to say nothing of all the other daily problems ofrunning the store.C. He must try hard to remember the names of the regular customers.D. He has to give advice and make decisions every day.5. The author compared the supermarket manager to ______.A. a military leaderB. a school inspectorC. a traffic supervisorD. an orchestra conductorPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers, decided that the American colonists should help pay some of the expenses of this war. A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第2 页共15 页the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a Series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest. The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia-Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. “Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”6. From the passage we learn that ______.A. Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1 763B. there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763C. France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi RiverD. the French still kept some influence in North America through the Treaty of Paris7. The Grenville Program refers to ______.A. King George III’s plan to gather money in North AmericaB. the British government’s desire to raise money in North AmericaC. a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American coloniesD. a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies8. The Stamp Act ______.A. was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollarB. was one of the causes of the American RevolutionC. required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on themD. chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses9. From the passage we learn that Patrick Henry ______.浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第3 页共15 页A. had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long timeB. didn’t know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyerC. was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp ActD. didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did10. This passage is mainly about ______.A. one of the events leading to the American RevolutionB. the Treaty of Paris between Britain and FranceC. the Grenville Program to raise money in the American coloniesD. Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp ActPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home.The breakup of the family occurs when the parents divorce. A lot of children in the U.S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children’s emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent’s own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents.

American ChildrenB. American FamiliesC. American MotherD. American ParentsPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”.浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第5 页共15 页If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Mo mism” — but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism（命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的，中肯的) not only to healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.16. The danger in the sharing of household tasks between the mother and the father is that______.A. the role of the father may become an inferior oneB. the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC. the children believe that life is a battle of sexesD. sharing leads to constant arguing17. The author states that bringing up children ______.A. is mainly the mother’s jobB. belongs to the duties of the fatherC. is the job of schools and churchesD. involves a partnership of equals18. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is ______.A. fundamental to a sound democracyB. not pertinent to a healthy familyC. responsible for MomismD. what we have almost given up19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is ______.A. minor because he is an ineffectual parentB. irrelevant to the healthy development of the child浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第6 页共15 页C. pertinent to the healthy development of the childD. identical to the role of the child’s mother20. Which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree with?A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D. A woman’s place in the home now is the same as that in the past.II. Speed Reading. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Skim or scan the following passages. Decide on the best answers and then writethe corresponding letters on your Answer Sheet.Passage FiveQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.You’re busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let’s assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn’t it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check upon degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them “impostors (骗子)”; another refers to them as “special cases”. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by “no such people”. To avoid outright lies, some job-seekers claim that they “attended”or “were associated with”a college or university, After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that “attending” means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that “being associated with” a col lege means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第7 页共15 页dates back at least to the turn of the century——that’s when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don’t want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from “Smoot State University”. The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the “University of Purdue”. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.21. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. employers are checking more closely on applicants nowB. lying about college degrees has become a widespread problemC. college degrees can now be purchased easilyD. employers are no longer interested in college degrees22. According to the passage, “special cases” refer to cases that ______.A. students attended a school only part-timeB. students never attended a school they listed on their application formsC. students purchased false degrees from commercial firmsD. students attended a famous school23. From the sentence “job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend” (Para.2),we can infer that _____.A. the job-seeker is a student in that collegeB. the job-seeker’s brother is a student in that collegeC. neither the two are students in that collegeD. the job-seeker lives in that college24. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. performance is a better judge of ability than a college degreeB. experience is the best teacherC. past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees doD. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in jobcompetition浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第8 页共15 页25. The underlined word “phony” (Para.2) means ______.A. thoroughB. falseC. ultimateD. decisivePassage SixQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passageAre you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some put their hearts and efforts into their work. Too many turn to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile, untold numbers look for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in common: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have learned many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion,” or “I’ll be happy when I get that extra 20 pounds.” It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a “response” to having, being or doing something.In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Today, some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I’ll be happy when ...”It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus.Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want. On the contrary, we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.26. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?A. Some people are happy when they work hard.B. Some people are happy when they drink or take drugs.C. Some people are happy when they get well-paid jobs.浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第9 页共15 页D.

Generally speaking, most people feel happy because ______.A. they think happiness is rooted in their deep heartsB. they get what they want to haveC. they get a long vacationD. they get a great paying job28. In the author’s opinion, which of the following.is the most important if you want to be happy?A. Losing weightB. An expensive carC. Success in workD. Feeling happy29. Which of the following is right according to the author?A. Most people today are happy.B. Most people choose to be unhappy most of the time.C. Work is a necessary part in our daily life.D. We try to get more and then we’ll be happy.30. From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is ______.A. limitedB. out of reachC. unconditionalD. based on our needsIII. Discourse Cloze.

Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Miller uses the techniques of the modern theatre to the full. He is not satisfied with simply employing the devices oflights and sound as an addition to the acting, 31. ______. This is a deliberate attempt to make the theatre as a whole, not merely the actors, express the messages of the play. Mechanical devices assume, then, a symbolic significance—they represent an essential meaning or idea in the play in physical terms. They express a meamng — 32. ______.Miller was writing for a middle-class audience. His plays were performed on Broadway,33. ______. Therefore they reached only a small proportion of the population Miller uses this fact (that the plays reached only a relatively small proportion of the population) to advantage in Death of a Salesman, where he examines American middle-class ideas and beliefs. He was able to place浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第10 页共15 页before his audience Willy Loman, 34. ______, ones which have been summed up by the phrase “the American Dream”. The American Dream is a combination of beliefs in the unity of the family, the healthiness of competition in society, the need for success and money, and the view that 35. ______. Some of these are connected: America seemed at one stage in history to offer alternatives to the European way of life; she seemed to be the New World, vast, having plenty of land and riches for all of its people, all of whom could share in the wealth of the nation. America was a land of opportunity. This belief is still apparent, even in twentieth-century America, with its large urban population, and Miller uses it in his plays, in order to state something significant about American society. In such a land, where all people have a great deal of opportunity, success should come fahly easily, 36. ______. To become successful in the American Dream means to believe in competition, to reach the top as quickly as possible by proving oneself better than others. Success is judged by the amount of wealth which can be acquired by an individual. 37. ______. Money and success mean stability; and stability can be seen in the family unit. The family is a guideline to success. 38. ______. These ideas should always be kept in mind when Death of a Salesman is considered.Another point to consider is Miller’s conception of what the theatre should do. He is both a psychological and a social dramatist.39. ______. Often, these people are ordinary, everyday types, but ones whose actions are made significant by the dramatist. For example, the lives of ordinary citizens going about their daily business in their homes may not obviously appear interesting, but the dramatist can indicate that their daily lives are important, that they are interesting or unusual as people and that the audience may see their own situations and psychological states reflected in the characters the dramatist has created. Death of a Salesman is a good example of this. Of course, all dramatists and novelists try to make the actions of their characters relevant to other people, and most analyze closely the minds of the characters they have created in order to establish what makes them function as individuals. Where Miller differs from many of the others is 40. ______. Most of his heroes are ordinary people: they do not seem to be different from anyone who can be met in any street; and this, it might be argued, adds force to his plays, since none of the characters are remote—we share their feelings, and understand their difficulties. Also, Miller is able to show that everyday people can rise above the ordinary when challenged.(From Miller’s Theatre and Miller’s Ideas)浙00595# 英语阅读(一)试题第11 页共15 页A. a man who shared many of their idealsB. America is the great land in which free opportunity for all existsC. hence the term “expressionist”is often used to describe Miller as a dramatistD. but indicates in the stage directions of his plays precisely when a particular form of lighting or piece of sound is to be usedE. so an unsuccessful man could feel bitter about his failure, excluded as he was from the success around himF. This means that Miller has often been regarded as an ally of the American LeftG the center of New York’s theatrical and cultural life, and in London’s West EndH. As a psychological dramatist he studies character, the motives and reasons behind the behavior of individuals, and presents them to his audiences so that his individual characters become convincingly aliveI. People were not as stable financially because of the depression and then the 1939-45 war, and so their way of life seemed to be challengedJ. It also provides emotional stability, and a good family shares its hopes and beliefsK. Success is extemal and visible, shown in material wealth and encouragedL. in the type of person that he has createdIV. Word Formations.
