Teenagers and adults wear them to look fashionable (时髦). Before the 1950’s, blue jeans were popular only in the West and the Southwest. Today almost everyone wears them.Levi Strauss and Company makes about one-third of all the jeans in the United States and about one-seventh of those inother countries. In fact, for a long time people used the word Levi’s as a synonym（同义词）for blue jeans. That’s because Levi’s were the first jeans ever made. Their inventor was a German immigrant(移民) named Levi Strauss.Levi Strauss left Germany in 1848, when he was a young man. He came to New Y ork City to be near his two brothers. For two years, he was a door-to-door salesman. He worked hard, but he didn’t make much money. Then like many other Easterners, he decided to go to San Francisco.When Levi went West, he brought some canvas ( a very strong cloth) with him. He wanted to sell it to the gold miners for making tents. His canvas was the wrong kind for tents, but Levi found another use for it. A miner told Levi that he needed a strong pair of pants because digging for gold was hard work. When Levi heard that, he made him a pair of canvas pants. The miner paid Levi $6 in gold dust and told the others about “those pants of Levi’s”. Levi quickly sold a lot of pants, but he ran out of canvas. He wrote to his bothers in New Y ork and told them to send more. Instead, they sent him some heavy cotton cloth called denim. Much of this kind of cloth came from Genes (the French name for the city of Genoa, Italy). Levi changed the spelling of Genes to jeans.He also dyed (染) the denim blue. He called his new pants blue jeans.1. According to the passage, blue jeans didn’t become popular across the United States untilafter ________ .A. the mid-17th centuryB. the mid-18th centuryC. the mid-19th centuryD. the mid-20th century2. The purpose of Levi Strauss’ moving from Germany to the U.S. was to ________.A. live near his two brothers in New Y orkB. make money as a door-to-door salesmanC. find gold in California with other EasternersD. invent and sell blue jeans to miners3. Which language is the word “jeans” from ?A. EnglishB. FrenchC. GermanD. Italian4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Levi Strauss made the first jeans for a Western gold miner.B. Levi Strauss went West because he was unsuccessful in New Y ork.C. Levi Strauss began his business career as a gold miner.D. Levi Strauss was the first in the world to make jeans.5. Blue jeans are _______ .A. made of denim instead of canvasB. the strong pants only for hard work like gold-miningC. well-loved by a limited number of people at a certain ageD. the fashionable clothing invented by Levi and his brothersThere are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses(病毒) harbored in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a toasty warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re coming down with a cold, you’re already sick.A chill is an early symptom: It’s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread through droplets propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are “caught” by hand contact. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. “Don’t kiss me,” she cautions, so the friend steps backs and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye---and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pi ck up their child’s discarded(丢弃了的) tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterwards.Cold virus also can be transferred to objects---telephones, towels, plates---and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washing---on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household---will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.1. Which of the following steps you take will most probably cause you to catch a cold?A. To stay in a toasty warm room with a lot of people.B. To expose yourself to severe weather.C. To be on the ski slopes.D. To wait for the bus on a snowy day.2. Which of the following is NOT TRUE？A. People usually believe that colds are caused by exposure to severe weather.B. Viruses can only spread through air.C. Colds are caused by viruses hidden in the body.D. Most colds are “caught” by hand contact.3. To prevent viruses from spreading, we shouldA. shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them.B. never touch the telephones, towels or plates.C. often wash our handsD. often rub our noses and eyes.4. The man is most likely to be stricken with a cold ifA. few viruses are harbored in his body.B. the infectious viruses have been exposed to the air for more than 3 hours.C. he visits his friend in a warm room.D. he shakes the hand of a cold-sufferer.5. The best title for this passage might beA. Colds and Viruses.B. Ways to Avoid Colds.C. The Spread of Viruses.D. Hand Contact and Transmission of Viruses.二、词汇与语法结构1.The student is working on a special ______; he is building a small electrical machine forhis science class.A. aspectB. projectC. matterD. course2.The doctor advised that he _____ a little time for physical exercises each day toimprovehis health.A. set besideB. put upC. set asideD. put off3.I don’t understand why you keep ______ the same mistakes!A.to be madeB.makeC.to makeD. making4.In redesigning the assembly line the engineer found it difficult to _____ his intentionwithout adequate money.A. carry outB. look intoC. set asideD. concentrate on5.The chief advantage of this new model over the old one is that it is cheaper and more______ .A. proficientB. efficientC. sufficientD. deficient6._____ he worked very hard, he failed to get a satisfactory grade.A.

Their first winter was very difficult because they arrived too late to plant the food they needed to survive. Many of them died from hunger and illness.

He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke・ He waited・ It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. "There^s a badly burnt man on the farm/9 the girl shouted・"He saved my life. Please help me to save him."The girl was Cathy Henderson.

It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villages or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value・His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.6.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _________ ・A・ still very active B・ quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD. personal to visitors7.The local grocer's shop is expanding because __________ .A.the competition there is weakB.it is a place for women to chatC.it provides good personal serviceD.the goods there are more valuable& Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A.Prices there are much highe匚B.Customers often have to queue up.C・ Customers can order by telephone・D.Their personal services are satisfactory.9.How do the village grocery assistants feel about giving extra service?A・ They don5t think it a trouble.B・ They don^t think it worthwhile・C・ They don't consider it a good deal.D. They don，t consider it a pleasant experience・10.One special feature of the village shop is that ________ ・A・ there is a very wide range of goods availableB・ customers can order goods by word of mouthC・ customers have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPassage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health. Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however, that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored・ The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective・ However, most people dislike being warned that they shouldn't do something. It is a kind of psychological resistance・Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package・ The warning is simple, but the message is clear: smoking and drinking are hazardous to health・ The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the customer to the danger. On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display warning. There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind. It goes out especially to wome n who are preg nant and any one who is operating a car or electrical machinery. A preg nant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal. Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an apparently harmless can of beer.11.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking willA.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others12.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people _________ •A.ignore the campaigns against themB.are aware of the dangers they causeC.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them13.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is ________A.short-lived B> long-standingC.widespreadD. well organized14.Tobacco advertising is ________ ・A.popularizedB. restrictedC. bannedD. disliked15.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ________ .A.civiliansB. car driversC.young peopleD. some groups of peoplePassage FourToday, there is no such thing as a “typical^ college student. People of all ages are enrolled in colleges・Though the concept of college may be the same for all students, the stress and future goals are different. The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21, and are most often away from home for the first time. As a result, they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives, needing to learn to manage their time and find a job, while attending school. They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job after graduation・The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away. They are starting their college education, after raising a family and are now ready to do something for themselves. Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates. Thy have been on their own for a while, and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate・Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same. It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or their families. As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom. The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our colleges and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams. Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life・16.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of _________ •A.college administrationB. college studentsC・ college courses D・ college life17・ In the past college students usually _______ ・A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD・ had no burden of raising a family18・ College students of the new type _______ ・A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD・ study harder than other students19・ One thing that the younger and older college students share is ______ .A.their hope for a better lifeB.equal job opportunitiesC.their future plansD.chances to get promotion20. The author seems to approve of ________ •A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC・ older people going back to collegeD.the students5 struggle for freedomPassage FiveMost personal managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods・ But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human facto匚Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection of process, but we usually pick a candidate lies or is less than completely honest. "This can be a serious problem for employers/^ explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. 'The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half truths rather than complete lies：Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are in accurate on purpose ・ The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange・“Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language・ Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.^Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.1.The best title of this passage can be ________ ・A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC・ Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD・ Advantages of Job Interviews2.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell _________ ・plete truths B・ complete liesC・ partial truths D. mainly truths3.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.By leaving out some necessary information.B.By providing more information than needed.C・ By using their body language・D・ By telling some unbelievable lies.4.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____ •A.examine the resumes carefullyB.inspect the candidates aggressivelyC・ correct the resumes intentionallypare one's resumes with others'5.What is the author's attitude towards job interview?A. Most objective.B. Too subjective・C.Suspicious.D. Credulous.Passage SixOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable. One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. "The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize and count its eggs/9 says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the unusual way the animals compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another's nest to trick the host into raising the invader's eggs• But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these, 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, howeve匚About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. "Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chanee—and that can only mean the birds were recognizing themj Lyon says・Apparently, the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs・ In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching・Even if a mother coot didn't remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones・“That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting in a wild animal world/5 the ecologist concluded.6.The meaning of the bird's name “coot" probably is__________ ・A. wonderful and amazing B・u nusual and remarkableC・ secret and unbelievable D. old and silly7.In the passage, "foreign eggs ” refers to ________ .A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched8・ Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests・B・ To put their own eggs into others5 nests.C・ To hatch other coots9 eggs・D.To protect their own eggs.9.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?I.Burying them deep in the nests.II.Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.III.Hatching them as their own.A. I only.B. II only.C. I and II.D. I, II and III.10.Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?A.To trick other coots.B.To fight back the tricks・C・ To be alert to the foreign eggs・D.To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage SevenIt almost sounds unbelievable yet it is true. Research facts suggest that DNA, the basic building block of life, could also be the basis of a powerful new generation of computers・Computers store data in strings of digits made up of the numbers 0 and 1. Living things store information with molecules represented by the letters A, T, C and G There were other similarities. Adleman, an American scientist, noticed and soon he was sketching out the basics of DNA computing. Those basic sketches have long since been replaced by hard science. Now, a handful of researchers are creating tiny biology-based computers, hoping to harness the power of life itself.They call their creations “machines" and “devices"・ Really, they are no thing more than test tubes full of DNA-rich water. Yet they have managed to use this liquid to answer complex sums and spit out data・The problems solved by DNA computers so far are, though, basic・ But the researchers hope to someday inject the tiny computers into human to kill viruses, breathe life into dead cells, and otherwise keep us healthy.They're also hoping that the computers will be able to self-replicate and grow into processors so powerful they can handle problems too complex for any of today\ computers.What these researchers are essentially trying to do is to control, predict and understand life itself. So, there9 little wonder that their machines are decades away from being useful.U. S. scientists are developing a biology-based machine that doesrft need hands on human help to compute・An Israeli scientist envisions (fit) programming tiny molecules with medical information and injecting them into people・ He received a U・S・patent in 2001 for a “computer” within a single droplet of water that uses DNA molecules as input/output, software and hardware.“This clever use of DNA computation may eventually lead to practical applications, M Adleman said.11.What did the American scientist Adleman do according to the last sentence of the paragraph?A.DNA, the basic building block of life.B.Strings of digits symbolized by numbers 0 and 1.C.Basic principles on a DNA computer.D・ DNA computer ready for use.12.By "they are nothing more than test tubes full of DNA-rich water M in Paragraph 3, the authormay mean that __________ .A.they are simple test tubesB.they look very simple but can function as a computerC.they are simple test tubes full of waterD.they are containers full of DNA molecules13.Which of the following is NOT included in the functions of the DNA computer researchersexpect to perform?A.Virus killing.B.Self-reproduction.C.Injection of DNA computers.D.The revival of dead cells・14.For which of the following has the Israeli scientist received the U.S. patent in 2001?A.His idea of medical use of DNA compute匚B.A single droplet of water with DNA molecules.C.A prototype of DNA computer with expected functions.D.A DNA computer for practical application.15.The word "self-replicate^ is used in the context to mean _______ ・A. self-reproduceB. self-repeatC・ self-respect D・ self-controlPassage EightTwo separate studies last year con firmed that infants are a lot smarter than we thought they were.In the first study, psychologist Marie Cheour and her colleagues at the University of Turku in Finland found that infants just two days old can distinguish something irregular in speech while they sleep・ In an overnight experiment, 15 newborns slept while a computer played a common Finnish vowel repeatedly along with a sound that's never used in Finnish・ A second group of infants heard nothing; a third group heard non-speech sounds. The next morning, the researchers recorded the brain waves of all the groups as the computer played・ Only those newborns exposed to the audio program of speech sounds during sleep showed a response to the different vowels, suggesting that they had learned to distinguish between the two kinds of sounds while they slept.In a second study, developmental psychologist Gyorgy Gergely of the Hungarian Academy of Science in Budapest found that infants decide just how much to imitate. A 1988 study had shown that 14-month-old infants will imitate odd behavior 一even the old act of turning on a special lamp by touching it with the head・ Gergely decided to show two groups of infants that same act in two different contexts. When one group saw a woman turn on the lamp with her head while her hands were free, most imitated her. When another group saw the woman turn on the lamp with her head while using her hands to hold a blanket around her, most chose to turn on the lamp with their han ds, not their heads. They evidently figured the demonstrator in the second setting used her head only because her hands were not free・“It seems babies do a lot of figuring out of whether it is wise to imitate or not, based on their own situation/9 Gergely says.16.The purpose of the first study was to see whether the newborns could _______ .A.sleep well while listening to the soundsB.know the difference in speech while sleepingC.respond to speech sounds during sleepD.learn to play a computer when they sleep17.The brain waves showed that ________ had a response to the different vowel sounds・A. only the first groupB. only the second groupC.only the third groupD. all the groups18.The second study found out that the older babies __________ ・A・ were taught to turn on the lamps with their handsB・ learned to turn on the lamps with their headsC.learned to free lheir handsD.could imitate strange behavior19.The word "demonstratof, near the end of Paragraph 3 refers to ___________ ・A. Marie CheourB. Gyorgy GergelyC・ the woman D. the colleague20.The two separate studies showed that babies are ________ .A.much smarter than we areB.much smarter than they were thought ofC.quite clever to distinguishD.very quick to imitateDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets ・1.他的秘书没有告诉他那次会议的情况。

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Within about 50 million years, one of the mammals (哺乳动物) that lives in a marine environment, the whale(鲸), has developed into the largest of all animal forms. However, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.Whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. Certain types of whales have been hunted too much. Recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝的). People are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. They are working to save them.There are reasons why people want to protect the whales. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. However, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. In this way, whales are dong a good job as they keep the ocean water cleanenough for the fish. In addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.Some people are now working to save whales by using the law. They hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. They also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.Now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. Some governments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. Other governments have changed the law about whaling. Many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.1. The passage mainly discussed ___A___.A. the protection of whalesB. the strange behaviors of whalesC. the mysterious life of whalesD. the advantages of too many whales2. From the passage we know that during the last 140 years humans have __C____.A. returned to natureB. learned how to swimC. threatened the existence of some marine mammalsD. begun to harvest certain plants from the ocean as food3. According to the passage, certain kinds of whales will soon __C___.A. kill most of the plants and small creaturesB. find some other places to live inC. die outD. die form pollution4. Salt in the oceans usually __D___.A. decreases the plants which are harmful to fishB. gets rid of harmful plants and creaturesC. removes the wastes thrown into themD. increases the plants and small creatures that do harm to fish5. Whales are helpful to humans because __A____.A. they eat a large quantity of plants and creature harmful to fishB. they make the oceans more and more saltyC. they often save sailors lost in a stormD. they can communicate with humansPassage 2We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions connected with other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other’s company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?”The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.1. The word “saved” in the first sentence of this passage means __D____.A. leftB. relaxedC. set freeD. kept up2. Love is a lasting, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing, the very opposite emotion of which is __D____.A. angerB. fearC. jealousyD. hate3. Which characteristic is shared by different kinds of love? ( B )A. A strong negative emotion toward someone.B. A strong positive feeling toward another.C. Unhappy feeling toward someone.D. Jealous feeling toward someone.4. According to the passage, hate is caused by ___A___.A. anger, jealousy or some other factorsB. anger, danger and hurtC. caring, protection, excitement and tendernessD. complex, strong positive emotion5. Which of the following is true? ( D )A. Love has been the subject of less scientific research because it is too simple an emotion.B. Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has beenpaid to it.C. To hate is always too bad.D. We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.Passage 3Mrs. Wilson, a Cree Indian in her sixties, was looking for a home to rent. She heard that one was available in an ideal location, close to the Calgary core.Mrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery (面包房) farther up the street.Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house. However, the daughters wanted to see the inside of the house before they agreed to rent it. One of the bakery employees went with them to the house, where he met Mrs. Wilson. All three women liked the house and returned to the bakery to tell Mr. Pompei that they would rent it.When Mr. Pompei saw Mrs. Wilson, he quickly walked out of the bakery. He had not realized Mrs. Wilson was Indian. Her daughters look more like their father, who is of a different ethnic origin (种族根源). The next day, Mrs. Wilson and her daughters returned to the bakery in an attempt to rent the house. Because of her blindness, Mr. Wilson was helped out of the car and guided into the bakery by one of her daughters. Mr. Pompei told the women that the house was already rented.The Wilsons suspected discrimination (歧视). As soon as they got home, Mrs. Wilson phoned Mr. Pompei, without identifying herself, and asked about the house. He said it was still available. When Mrs. Wilson identified herself, Mr. Pompei lost his temper.Mrs. Wilson complained to the Human Rights Commission. Their examination discovered that the tenants (房客) who did rent the house had not even seen it at the time when Mrs. Wilson visited it. They applied to rent it a full week after Mrs. Wilson had applied.1. We know from the passage that Mrs. Wilson was __C___.A. to rent the house for her daughtersB. to rent the house for someone elseC. to rent the house for her familyD. to sublet (转出租) the house2.

Try to answer them as honestly as you can.Are you hard driving and competitive?Are you usually pressed for time?Do you want to control others?Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?Do you eat too quickly?Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, then I can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the sometime. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded(拐弯抹角的), you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.And there’s one other thing. You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing(心平气和的) approach to life.The beginnings of our hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. Some of those you work with don’t seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake (约束) on what you’re trying to achieve. The conflict may not take place every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it’s always there, under the surface.1. If your answers to above question are “yes”, you are likely to___D___.A. enjoy your food at dinnerB. be good listenersC. wait a few seconds before answering a questionD. have more chances to suffer from a heart attack2. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that this hard-driving character ___A___.A. has been developed since childhoodB. may be changed by your experiencesC. will place no influence on your workD. enables you to be a successful person3. Which of the following words is not appropriate to describe this type of people? ( C_ )A. Competitive.B. Nervous.C. Easygoing.D. Ambitious.4. What is implied in the last sentence? ( B_ )A. The lid will always remain in place.B. The conflict may occur any moment.C. The situation is always under your control.D. You are able to solve the problem.5. The main idea of the passage is __D____.A. why competitive people are more likely to succeed in their careerB. how people can relax themselvesC. why hard-driving people are likely to have a heart attackD. how personality affects your attitude toward lifePassage 5Throughout July 1945, the Japanese mainland, from Tokyo on Honshu northward to the coast of Hokkaido, were bombed as if an invasion were about to take place. In fact, something far more threatening was at hand, as the Americans were telling Stalin at Potsdam.In 1939 physicists in the United States had learned of experiments in Germany demonstrating the possibility of atomic power and understood the potential damage of an atomic bomb. On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt of the danger of Nazi Germany’s advanced in development of the atomic bomb. Eventually, the U. S. Office of Scientific Research and Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the war department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four year of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogodo, New Mexico, generating an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U. S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japan in a way less costly of U. S. lives than a conventional invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to the Allies’Potsdam Declaration decided the matter.On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb carried form Tinian Island in the Marianas in a specially equipped B-29 was dropped on Hiroshima, at the southern end of Honshu. The combined heat and blast destroyed everything in the explosion’s immediate neighborhood, generated spontaneous fires that burned out almost 4.4 square miles completely, and killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people, in addition to injuring more than 70,000 others. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killed between 35,000 and 40,000 people, injured a like number, and ruined 1.8 square miles.1. What is the main idea of the passage? ( B )A. After four years of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was born.B. The birth and use of the atomic bomb to end the Second World War.C. An invasion was about to take place with the use of the atomic bomb.D. An atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.2. What was the danger Albert Einstein had warned Roosevelt about? ( A )A. The danger of Nazi Germany’s advances in the development of the atomic bomb.B. The possibility of atomic power from Nazi Germany.C. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to the Allies’Potsdam Declaration.D. Destruction of everything from the explosion of the atomic bomb.3. What event determined the decision of the U. S. to drop the atomic bombs over Japan? ( D )A. Truman became the President of the United States.B. Stalin made the decision in Potsdam.C. The United States’ triumph over other nations in development of the atomic bomb.D. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to he Allies’Potsdam Declaration.。

Indoors is a 150 colour TV set and the family's pride — a circular bath with gold-plated taps. There are also many labour－saving 3 and luxury furniture.How can a plasterer 4 all this? The answer, says Max, is hard work. In partnership with another plasterer, Max does contract plastering jobs for a firm. The owner of the firm 5 them as human machines, the best and quickest in the trade, who can do as much in two days as any two-man team can in two weeks.How do they 6 it? Not by working overtime.

Reading comprehension.Passage oneNo one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance.Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice ofmaking persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.1. The author’s primary purpose in writing this passage was to ____.A. plead for the abolishment of uniformsB. show that uniforms are not possible in a democratic societyC. advocate stronger governmental controls on the wearing of uniformsD. convince the reader that uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages2. Why does the author discuss forcing everyone to buy the same car or eat the same food?A. T o show that freedom of choice is absolute.B. T o show that the government has interfered too much in the lives of individual.C. T o suggest what would happen if uniforms became compulsory.D. T o predict the way the society will be in the next few generations.3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author?A. The person who wears a uniform has no self-worth.B. W earing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger concept.C. Uniforms will hurt one entire information and entertainment industry.D. Envy and competition are incentive to improve one’s life.4. The word “superfluous” (Para. 3) most probably means ____.A. indispensableB. availableC. surplusD. supplementary5. The next paragraph in this passage might discuss____.A. the positive effects of wearing uniformsB. more negative effects of wearing uniformsC. alternative to wearing uniformsD. the legal rights of those not wishing to wear uniformsPassage twoW estern airliner manufacturers seem to be tripping over themselves in their eagerness to sign collaborative agreements with Asian partners as a low-cost route to developing new airliners. Their potential Asian partners seem to be tripping over themselves to sign suchagreements，as a low-cost route to acquiring new airliner technology. If they are not careful the two sides will end up tripping over each other：the one by selling its birth-right for short-term gain，the other by trying to break into a market which isn‘t big enough to sustain it.T echnology transfer works in a growing market，where the aspirations of the newentrant receiving that technology can be met through expansion. The airliner market is not such a device.Even the most optimistic projections of airliner sales for the next 20 years show that airliner manufacture can only be profitable if a small number of aircraft builders share the available sales. It follows that if new manufacturers come into the market and take sales，their sales must come from substitution，not expansion.Given the complexity of today‘s airliners，it is unlikely that any new entrant will haveboth the financial and technical resources to come into the market without the involvement ofan established manufacturer. In the short term，such involvement may not be to the exclusive benefit of the new entrant：most of the established manufacturers are searching forways to reduce costs of manufacture.In the short term，，it can be of benefit to an established W estern manufacturer to haveeither components of complete air –frames made or assembled in lower-wage economics such a China，T aiwan or Korea，while retaining the design，development and marketing of aircraft for itself. It would be a very unwise W estern manufacturer which did not heed the fact that these developing economies are acquiring skills （like computing ）at least as quickly as they are acquiring skills in metallbashing.The danger comes when the new entrant no longer needs the established W estern partner because it has acquired the technical and intellectual ability to design and build its own aircraft. An Asian partner may well find itself in the happy position of having the low-costlabour base，the high-cost technology base and the vital financial base to build a new airliner.6. The author‘s attitude towards W estern/eastern collaboration can be depi cted as ________.A. positiveB. progressiveC. conservativeD. negative7. “The airliner market is not such a device ” means that the airliner market _______.A. does not encourage technology transferB. is too limited to offer chances of successC. requires hi-tech rather than unaccepted devicesD. is full of competitions even for new entrants8. Established manufacturers search for partners in order to_______.A. save the cost of the airframeB. improve some aircraft componentsC. save the cost of labourD. develop new technology9. According to the author，a wise established manufacturer should ______.A. try to benefit from both financial and technical resourcesB. break up his partnership with the East once profits are madeC. keep a tight told over hi-tech development and marketing of airlinersD. collaborate with Asian partners for a short time10. The word “base” in the last paragraph represents_______.A. a production placeB. the initial operation of building aircraftC. a research instituteD. a position where to start buildingVII.

EmphasizeII ．Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OnePassage 1One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes."Only one man wrote like that," the librarian said to himself. "It was Galileo who wrote these notes!"Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo's death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students,collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo's notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo's notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo's experiments were saved.31.The librarian got Galileo's notes from __D__.A the butcherB VivianiC a family living in Viviani's houseD the market near Viviani's house32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true? AA He was full of ideas.B He did a lot of experiments.C He was an Italian.D He gave his notes to Viviani.33.Which statement about Viviani is NOT true? CA He kept Galileo's notes.B He was Galileo's student.C He passed on the notes to his daughter.D He was as famous as Galileo.34.After Viviani's death, the notes __D__.A were given to one of his friendsB were left somewhere in his houseC were lostD lost its value35.It can be inferred from the story that __A__.A the family was unaware that they had Galileo's notesB the librarian bought the notesC Viviani gave the notes to the familyD the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage TwoWomen often say they feel the effects of alcohol more than men do, even ifthey drink the same amount relative to body size. Now there’s medical evidence th at women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less able to break down alcohol.Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcohol appears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man.Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream in the form of pure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics －particularly women －who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men.36. " break down" in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _B___.A. "split into"B. "decompose"C. "share"D. "cut down"37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? AA. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men.B. One drink a woman have may have the same effect as two drinks for a man.C. Men can drink more alcohol than women.D. Women are more likely to get drunk.38. Women's stomachs are less active because ___C_.A. they are of smaller sizeB. they do not often exerciseC. their stomach enzyme is less activeD. they usually drink less39. The enzyme activity is the lowest in __C__.A. women who do not drinkB. men who do not drinkC. women who often drinkD. men who often drink40.Men may be in advantageous position over women in drinking because __D__.A. they are stronger and of bigger sizeB. their livers are more resistant to liver damageC. they have a bigger stomachD. less alcohol they drink will appear in the bloodstreamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not toohappy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides 0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find:Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on average.A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need anextra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the past few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly dama ging to men’s happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Men’s happiness has trended up. Women’s sense of well-being, though higher than that of men, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, people’s sense of well-being goesdown to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors suggest, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesn’t have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Well-Being of the Young”.41. Extra money___C__.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42. Which of the following statements is not true? CA. Generally, first marriages are the happiest ones.B. Parents’ divorce will also decrease the children’s happiness.C. African-Americans ten to be happier than other people.D. Being jobless will decrease men’s happiness level.43. The passage states that __A___.A. women’s happiness level has gone down sharplyB. the educated people ten to be happier than less educated people becausethey have higher incomeC. women tend to be less happy than men because there exists prejudiceagainst womenD. higher income will certainly go with greater education44. generally, ___B__ have the lowest sense of well-being.A. people above 40B. people around 40C. people under 40D. people under 3045. A good title for this passage is “__B___”.A. Happiness LevelB. Happiness IndexC. Happiness and Life SatisfactionD. Sense of Well-BeingPassage FourThe Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves, his host will tell him "You will be welcome again". These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids forworshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.46. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in __B__.A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guestsB) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideasC) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big partiesD) their specific ritual and concern about good manners47."Invariably" in the second paragraph can be best replaced with _D__.A) "often" B) "usually" C) "sometimes" D) "always"48. It cannot be inferred from the passage that the Swedes are _A___.A) hard-working B) polite C) considerate D) efficient49. According to the passage, the Swedish social ritual doesn’t include __D__.A) greetings B) bows C) handshaking D) embraces50. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA) People can hear the priest more clearly with the hearing aids in the church.B) The Swedes' homes are among the best equipped ones in the world.C) Travelers will be most satisfied when travelling in Sweden.D) It's very convenient to make a call in booths in Sweden.III Cloze 20%If you were to begin a new job tomorrow, you would bringwith you some basic strengths and weaknesses.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Within about 50 million years, one of the mammals (哺乳动物) that lives in a marine environment, the whale(鲸), has developed into the largest of all animal forms. However, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.Whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. Certain types of whales have been hunted too much. Recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝的). People are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. They are working to save them.There are reasons why people want to protect the whales. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. However, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. In this way, whales are dong a good job as they keep the ocean water cleanenough for the fish. In addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.Some people are now working to save whales by using the law. They hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. They also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.Now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. Some governments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. Other governments have changed the law about whaling. Many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.1. The passage mainly discussed ___A___.A. the protection of whalesB. the strange behaviors of whalesC. the mysterious life of whalesD. the advantages of too many whales2. From the passage we know that during the last 140 years humans have __C____.A. returned to natureB. learned how to swimC. threatened the existence of some marine mammalsD. begun to harvest certain plants from the ocean as food3. According to the passage, certain kinds of whales will soon __C___.A. kill most of the plants and small creaturesB. find some other places to live inC. die outD. die form pollution4. Salt in the oceans usually __D___.A. decreases the plants which are harmful to fishB. gets rid of harmful plants and creaturesC. removes the wastes thrown into themD. increases the plants and small creatures that do harm to fish5. Whales are helpful to humans because __A____.A. they eat a large quantity of plants and creature harmful to fishB. they make the oceans more and more saltyC. they often save sailors lost in a stormD. they can communicate with humansPassage 2We have saved as a final set of emotions the two most important emotions connected with other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other’s company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?”The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.1. The word “saved” in the first sentence of this passage means __D____.A. leftB. relaxedC. set freeD. kept up2.

Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has beenpaid to it.C. To hate is always too bad.D. We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.Passage 3Mrs. Wilson, a Cree Indian in her sixties, was looking for a home to rent. She heard that one was available in an ideal location, close to the Calgary core.Mrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery (面包房) farther up the street.Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house. However, the daughters wanted to see the inside of the house before they agreed to rent it. One of the bakery employees went with them to the house, where he met Mrs. Wilson. All three women liked the house and returned to the bakery to tell Mr. Pompei that they would rent it.When Mr. Pompei saw Mrs. Wilson, he quickly walked out of the bakery. He had not realized Mrs. Wilson was Indian. Her daughters look more like their father, who is of a different ethnic origin (种族根源). The next day, Mrs. Wilson and her daughters returned to the bakery in an attempt to rent the house. Because of her blindness, Mr. Wilson was helped out of the car and guided into the bakery by one of her daughters. Mr. Pompei told the women that the house was already rented.The Wilsons suspected discrimination (歧视). As soon as they got home, Mrs. Wilson phoned Mr. Pompei, without identifying herself, and asked about the house. He said it was still available. When Mrs. Wilson identified herself, Mr. Pompei lost his temper.Mrs. Wilson complained to the Human Rights Commission.

Try to answer them as honestly as you can.Are you hard driving and competitive?Are you usually pressed for time?Do you want to control others?Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?Do you eat too quickly?Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, then I can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the sometime. The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded(拐弯抹角的), you help them get to the point. You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.And there’s one other thing. You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing(心平气和的) approach to life.The beginnings of our hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. Some of those you work with don’t seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake (约束) on what you’re trying to achieve. The conflict may not take place every day. You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on. But it’s always there, under the surface.1. If your answers to above question are “yes”, you are likely to___D___.A. enjoy your food at dinnerB. be good listenersC. wait a few seconds before answering a questionD. have more chances to suffer from a heart attack2. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that this hard-driving character ___A___.A. has been developed since childhoodB. may be changed by your experiencesC. will place no influence on your workD. enables you to be a successful person3. Which of the following words is not appropriate to describe this type of people? ( C_ )A. Competitive.B. Nervous.C. Easygoing.D. Ambitious.4. What is implied in the last sentence? ( B_ )A. The lid will always remain in place.B. The conflict may occur any moment.C. The situation is always under your control.D. You are able to solve the problem.5. The main idea of the passage is __D____.A. why competitive people are more likely to succeed in their careerB. how people can relax themselvesC. why hard-driving people are likely to have a heart attackD. how personality affects your attitude toward lifePassage 5Throughout July 1945, the Japanese mainland, from Tokyo on Honshu northward to the coast of Hokkaido, were bombed as if an invasion were about to take place. In fact, something far more threatening was at hand, as the Americans were telling Stalin at Potsdam.In 1939 physicists in the United States had learned of experiments in Germany demonstrating the possibility of atomic power and understood the potential damage of an atomic bomb. On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt of the danger of Nazi Germany’s advanced in development of the atomic bomb. Eventually, the U. S. Office of Scientific Research and Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the war department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four year of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogodo, New Mexico, generating an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U. S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japan in a way less costly of U. S. lives than a conventional invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to the Allies’Potsdam Declaration decided the matter.On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb carried form Tinian Island in the Marianas in a specially equipped B-29 was dropped on Hiroshima, at the southern end of Honshu. The combined heat and blast destroyed everything in the explosion’s immediate neighborhood, generated spontaneous fires that burned out almost 4.4 square miles completely, and killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people, in addition to injuring more than 70,000 others. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killed between 35,000 and 40,000 people, injured a like number, and ruined 1.8 square miles.1. What is the main idea of the passage? ( B )A. After four years of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was born.B. The birth and use of the atomic bomb to end the Second World War.C. An invasion was about to take place with the use of the atomic bomb.D. An atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.2. What was the danger Albert Einstein had warned Roosevelt about? ( A )A. The danger of Nazi Germany’s advances in the development of the atomic bomb.B. The possibility of atomic power from Nazi Germany.C. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to the Allies’Potsdam Declaration.D. Destruction of everything from the explosion of the atomic bomb.3. What event determined the decision of the U. S. to drop the atomic bombs over Japan? ( D )A. Truman became the President of the United States.B. Stalin made the decision in Potsdam.C. The United States’ triumph over other nations in development of the atomic bomb.D. Japan’s unsatisfactory response to he Allies’Potsdam Declaration.。
