About 700,000 new cars have been sold in India in the last twelve months, and about twice that many used cars have been traded.The country's 35 million motorcycles and scooters make it the world's largest two-wheel market. But because there are still big differences in people's incomes, the roads are full of a whole variety of vehicles, lots of them not motorized.A ride with a taxi driver in New Delhi gives a flavour of a typical Indian-style traffic with all kinds of vehicle held up in city streets or in long lines on narrow country lanes. Cars, lorries and buses back up behind a cart pulled by one animal or another. "India has everything on the roads," the taxi driver says. "You have to watch out for pedestrians, bicycles, carts, cows, donkeys and even elephants. Three things are recommended to drive here, a horn, brakes and good luck." Just then we were stopped by a young boy and his cow.Given the hazards, it's not surprising that special ceremonies are held for new car owners in which the steering wheel and the driver are both blessed.“jThe ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddesses.The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious Sanctuary.In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money. In fact the word "athlete" is an ancient Greek word, meaning "one who competes for a prize".The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is a modem event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by a soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race.西平填空study has shown that fitness is the key to long life, irrespective of body shape or even smoking habits. Researchers discovered that people who exercise live longer than those who do not, even if they are overweight and smoke.The study found that the least fit of the 6,000 middle-aged men in the study were five times more likely to die within six years of the start of the research than the fittest. This was true whether or not the men had heart problems, smoked or were overweight. Scientists concludedthat it was better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary. Dr Ken Cooper, a fitness expert, said, "you are better off smoking a packet of cigarettes a day and exercising regularly than being a non-smoker and sedentary/ Although he adds, H But don*t misunderstand me. I am not endorsing smoking. I am trying to tell you how dangerous it is to be sedentary. "However, the study appears to fly in the face of research last year which concluded that more than 30,000 people die prematurely every year in Britain from illnesses caused by being overweight.The British Government is putting pressure on manufacturers to reduce high levels of sugar in food and to restrict the hard sell of junk food to children in order to improve the nation's health. But the new study suggests the Government encourage more people to exercise.survey was carried outlast year by the British Medical Association, an organization of doctors. It showed that most people do not do enough exercise. Inl995, 60% of people walked more than one mile a day. Now, that number has fallen sharply to only 20%. Although more people are gong to the gym, fewer people are walking. Doctors say we need to exercise for 20 minutes three times a week. Walking is an easy form of exercise that everyone can do. If you walk one mile each day, you will improve your health very quickly. Doctors say we need to tackle this problem head on and try to make people fitter because not doing enough exercise is responsible for many of the country's health problems. Doctors suggest you go for a walk everyday after dinner.普裂填空study has shown that fitness is the key (1) to long life, irrespective of body shape (2) or even smoking habits.

For example, one advantage to the education in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students. They also study more hours each day than Americans do The study is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage.Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.The advantage to the education [n North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think by themselves.

广州广播电视大学东方分校英语阅读(3)试题Part I Questions 1 – 10 are based on Passage 1. (30 points, 3 points each)Passage 1Communication and Gender in Business1. According to popular American linguist, Deborah Tannen, communication habits vary depending on individual personality, culture, and among other factors, gender. Since male ways of communicating are standard in business, women's ways of talking are often ignored or misunderstood in the workplace. Tannen emphasizes that female and male styles are both valid. Here are some of Tannen's main points:2. Conversational styles in boys and girls show up early. Even 5-year-old boys care about their tank in the group, while 5-year-old girls care more about being in or out of the group. Therefore, men's conversational styles often use competition, while women try to keep the appearance of equality.3. Women tend to apologize more than men, as an attempt to restore the power balance in conversation. When men simply accept the apology rather than part of the responsibility, women feel unjustly blamed.4. Western women favor indirect ways of speaking, which is interpreted by Western men as showing insecurity and lack of confidence. However, this gender difference is also a cultural difference: Japanese business culture demands indirectness, and the direct approach used by Western businessmen is often seen as rude by the Japanese.5. In business, women are often blamed if they "talk like a woman" (soft, indirect, cautious), but are also blamed if they "talk like a man" (bossy aggressive).6. We have strong negative images of women in authority: Wicked Witch and Mother; so women bosses are judged not as bosses but as women.7. Gender differences show most strongly not in individuals but in group settings. In a group of men and women, women tend to become silent bystanders, while men are active participants.8. Males and females in Western culture speak different body languages. Men oftenspread out their limbs, taking up a lot of space, gesture widely, speak in Loud tones, and engage in direct eye contact. These behaviors.9. Males interrupt females much more than they interrupt other males, and more often than females interrupt either males or females.10. Research has shown that there is nothing "natural" about male or female language, but that these gender habits simply show the stereotyped role in which society puts men and women. Directions:Read passage 1 carefully and then decide whether statements 1--10 are true or false based on your understanding of the passage. Write T for true and F for false against the number of the statement on the answer sheet. (30 points, 3 points each.)1. Deborah Tannen emphasized that people share many communication habits despite the fact that every one has their own personality and culture background.2. Conversational styles can even be found in five-year-old boys and girls.3. Men tend to care more about equality in their conversation.4. Men tend to accept an apology rather than make it.5. Indirectness is regarded as appropriate both in western and eastern business world.6. It can be inferred from the 5th paragraph that women might find it difficult to work in the field of business.7. Women tend to be talkative in groups of men or women.8. It can be inferred from paragraph 8 that men are more power-driven than women.9. Women interrupt people more often than men.10. The last paragraph implies that the ways men and women speak are largely decided by their stereotyped role in society.Part II Questions 11 – 20 are based on Passage 2.

(20 points, 2 points each)Passage 3The English Character1 The English, as a race, have the reputation of being very different form all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.2 Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. When he encounters strangers or foreigners he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An English wit, pretending to be giving ad vice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “ On entering a railway compartment shakehands with all the p assengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behaviour, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.3 It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological experts – the weathermen – who, after promising glorious, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when ananti-cyclone over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate -- as the weathermen in his prediction. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishman leaving home on a bright, sunny summer morning with a raincoat slung over his arm and an umbrella in his hand. So variable is the weather that by lunchtime there could be thunder and lightning.4 The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conventional greetings are replaced by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will encourage even the most reserved of Englishmen to enter into a discussion.5 In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show frank extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, passion. Etc., often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. Whereas a man of a more emotional nature might descr ibe her as “a priceless jewel”, “diving” or “precious”, the Englishman will flatly state “um, she’s all right”, An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoy-able film recommends it to a friend by commenting: “It’s not bad, you know.” Or on seei ng a breathtaking landscape he might show hispleasure by saying: “ Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that “all right”, “not bad”, and “nice’, are very of ten used as superlatives with the sense of “first-class”, “excellent”, “beautiful”. This special use of language, particularly common in English, is known as understatement. ”21. It is living on an island separated from the rest of Europe that makes the Englishman very different from all other nationalities.22. Traveling in commuter trains the English people like to read newspapers to relax.23. According to an unwritten rule of behavior people do not shake hands with each other in railway compartments.24. In England if a person doesn’t talk about the weather he immediately becomes the object of suspicion.25. Englishmen do not have faith in weather forecasting because the weather in England often changes by hours.26. In England the weather s pecialist’s prediction is often as inaccurate as the layman’s.27. The overseas visitors may be excused if they don’t like to talk about the weather.28. It is surprising to overseas visitors that the English may talk to each other about weather many times in a single day.29. In England if you feel embarrassed when encountering strangers the best thing to do is to mention the state of the weather.30. The understatement in the English language shows that the English lack deep feelings.Part IV Short AnswersDirections:Read passage 5 and then give a short answer to each of the questions 31 –35 on your answer sheet. (20 points, 4 points each)Passage 4How did computing machines begin and develop? The answer to this question is fairly clear. The first computing machine, in use more than 5,000 years ago, was the fingers and hands of people. But this useful and natural computing machine was not equal to keeping track of all the numbers that people needed from time to time. People needed bigger numbers than hands could show; and they needed to be able to store and remember numbers, without always keeping their fingers in certain positions.So other ideas and devices appeared.The next idea was to use small stones or shells, seeds or beads, to count with. Then a person could talk about some large number (of chickens in a flock or sheep in a herd) as "the number of beads on his string," even if he had no simple name for the number.However, people found it troublesome to count only in units, one by one. So, very early, in ancient Egypt, another idea appeared. This was the idea of choosing a new unit equal to 10 of the old units. Clearly, this idea comes from the fact that a man has 10 fingers; and so a person could talk about the number 76 by referring to all the fingers of seven men and six more fingers on one more man.In order to handle numbers in the form of a set of counted things, it is helpful to have a fixed place in which to lay them out. Such a place may be a smooth piece of ground, a flat piece of stone, or a board. It is helpful to arrange lines to mark off places--one place for units, another place for tens, a third place for tens of tens (or hundreds), and so on.But it is not very convenient to use a board: among other reasons, often when you move the board, the counters fall off. So why not use a frame with little sticks, put holes through the counters, and string them as beads on the sticks in the frame? This simple invention makes a widely useful machine for figuring, the abacus. It is still the most common computing machine and is used all over the world.In ancient times another really important idea was noticed--the idea of zero, the number of none, or nothing. It names a place on the board of counters that is empty of counters. Without this idea, no good computing machine can be made.Directions:Read passage 5 carefully and then try to give short answers to questions 41-45. (20 points, 4 points each. )31.
