Nearly 10,300 readers replied to the survey. Over half,52 percent, said that they listen to music whenever they are free. Just 0.5 percent of students said they never listen to music. Most listen to both English and Chinese songs. But, the survey showed that students have very different tastes and enjoy a wide variety of styles. About 32 percent of students listen to Pop music. Behind Pop came RB, Country, Rock, Hip-hop and others. Parents have the least effect on students’ tastes and do not enjoy the same music. Just three percent of students listen to music that their parents introduced them to. Questions 1. What was found by the teen magazine’s summer survey? 2.

No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes.Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest human being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.71.All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true except_________A______.A. he was born in the USAB. he was a great film actorC. he had an unhappy early lifeD. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films72.According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved bygeneration after generation because _____D_________.A. he set the whole world laughingB. his performances get people involvedC. his works appeal to people in different periodsD. both B and C73.According to the writers of Charlie Chaplin's life history, ____C________had a strong influence on the type of films he made.A. the society in which he livedB. the audience who praised and admired himC. his unhappy early years in the poor area in LondonD. those who called him a genius74.According to the passage, which of the following is true? DA. There are timeless qualities in Chaplin's work because he didn't involve himself in political affairs.B. Chaplin became well loved years after his death.C. Chaplin's performance is funny without any sad elements.D. Chaplin's films are the combinations of funny and sad elements.75.This passage was _______B_____.A. written by Charlie ChaplinB. written about Charlie ChaplinC. advertising one of Charlie Chaplin's filmsD. written for students to learn film-makingQuestions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls.76.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? CA. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden.B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all.C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries.D. French people don't have to worry about being troubled bycommercials.77.According to the passage, what is the main reason United Statesadvertisers like television so much?CA. It communicates information more quickly.B. Every household has at least one TV set.C. It communicates information to a vast number of people at the sametime.D. American people love watching TV more than reading.78.The word prospects in the 2nd paragraph means ____A_________.A. potential customersB. competitorsC. working staff at TV stationsD. partners79.Which of the following is employed in TV advertising? DA. MotionB. Sounds and music.C. PicturesD. All of the above.80.Which of the following statements is true? BA. Television is as efficient as newspaper in demonstration benefits of acertain product or service.B. Television is a valuable medium in demonstrating benefits of a certainproduct or service.C. TV commercials can hardly help to communicate feelings.D. People use advertising on TV whenever necessary because of itseffectiveness.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Failure to take time to plan and prepare is one of the major mistakes committed by sales negotiators (谈判). Related to this is weak information gathering. Neither your information gathering nor your planning can be effective without first engaging in negotiation with yourself or within your company, i.e., the agreements that may be necessary before negotiation with the customer.Once your face-to-face negotiating begins, any number of factors can influence the result. Going forth with a rigid mind-set (心态), giving concessions (让步) too early, answering too quickly to each demand, not calling time-out, and not putting yourself into the customer's shoes, are common mistakes in many sales negotiations. Finally, not being careful during the follow-through results in a lack of success even in an effective negotiation.Let us take the case of Ted Jeffries, a newly appointed sales representative for a maker of kitchen equipment. His main line is prefabricated (预制的) ovens. In addition to building additional sales with existing buyers, he is responsible for finding new buyers in some rapidly growing areas.Ted had been very effective with a previous company selling a line of building supplies to buyers by telephone. So he is not without some experience. He has some very positive selling strengths and he is doing reasonably well in closing some early sales. But he is beginning to find that some sales come at a "higher price" than others. Let's see what seems to be his problem. Ted is making his first call to long-time buyers, Lexington Kitchens. He hopes to renegotiate (重新谈判) the buying agreement with Ms. Sue Parker, manager of Lexington.81.According to the passage, what must be done before a sales negotiator(谈判者) works with his customer? DA. Information gathering.B. Planning for the negotiation with the customer.C. Visiting his customers frequently.D. Reaching an agreement within the sales network.82.Which of the following is NOT listed as one of the mistakes that a salesnegotiator tends to make? DA. Not flexible (灵活机动的) enough.B. Giving in to customers' demands too easily.C. Not being aware of the proper time to stop negotiating for the moment.D. Not leaving enough time to the other party for thinking about thepurchase.83.According to the passage, what is a sales negotiator advised to do afteran effective negotiation? BA. Prepare for the next negotiation immediately.B. Spend some time on follow-up activities.C. Hold a celebration to encourage himself.D. Call the buyer immediately to express gratitude for their purchase.84.Which of the following statements about Ted is true? AA. He is a salesperson with a fair amount of experience.B. He used to work for a maker of kitchen equipment and did his job well.C. His job is to deal with their customers.D. He is now selling building supplies to buyers.85.What might follow in Ted's story? CA. Ted will contact customers to find out some problems.B. Ted will demand all buyers sell their products at the same prices.C. Ted will negotiate with Ms. Sue Parker about the buying agreement.D. Ted will choose Lexington Kitchens as their sole buyer.KEY:1-5 DABAC 6-10 CAABD 11-15 BACDD 16-20 CACDD21-25 CCABA 26-30 BAAAB 31-35 DACBA 36-40 DDBCD41-45 ABDCA 46-50 CDCABCLOZE: (51) through (52) negative (53) superb (54) putting in (55) whereas (56) challenge (57) bear (58) patience (59) commit (60) progress (61) Come on (62) adjustment (63) competent (64) appreciate (65) let down (66) give up (67) complaining (68) furthermore (69) not to mention (70) represents71-75 ADCDB 76-80 CCADB 81-85 DDBAC。

Some people think that Catholicschools are 51.for cultivating religious beliefs. However, many Catholicschools concentrate on 52.the behavior of kids who have done poorly inpublic schools. In public schools there are 53.rules. Rules are plentiful atCatholic schools, and someone is always making sure they are 54..Most people believe that nuns (修女) are kind women who have 55.their lives to their religion. Our headmaster, Sister Mary Elizabeth, was the meanest woman I 56.met. She smoked and 57.and carried a ruler throughthe halls. She'd use it to hit students who werenot 58.. She even kept aneven bigger stick in the storage closet in the gym. When a student 59.someone, she had a solution. The same solution existed for a student who had poor 60.. And if a student was too 61.or did something wrong,they were not sent to the headmaster's office. 62., they were sent to the gym closet.I went to the gym closet once. The room was 63.lit when I arrived. It wasalso 64.with cigarette smoke when I got there. Sister Mary Elizabeth'sconstant bad 65.was even worse that day.

They took their 69.once and were too frightened to do anything wrong again. Some people say that this experience teaches students the discipline and the ability to 70.pressure that they will need in life. However, many people doubt it.Part 3 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 2)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the same passage or dialog.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be difficult to handle. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and direct."Good morning, Mother. This is Fiona, your daughter. It's eight o'clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct him in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don't work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?" We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, and newspapers. These assist usto organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different boxes. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual cases.71. When do elderly people respond best?A. When they are calm and unhurried.B. When people tell them to be calm and unhurried.C. When their environment is calm and unhurried.D. When others are calm and unhurried.72. What should you encourage old people to do?A. To do as little as possible.B. To do as much as they can.C. To help others when needed.D. To be patient and not get upset.73. How should we provide information to old people with failing memories?A. By being helpful.B. By being direct.C. By being sensitive.D. By being obvious.74. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signposts?A. To help us organize and direct our behavior.B. To help us make use of newspapers.C. To help us correct other people.D. To help us understand statements.75. Besides diaries, what else can help old people remember significant coming events?A. Labels.B. Reminder boards.C. Information cards.D. Photos.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as "beri-beri" (脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted (传送) by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk (壳) removed from the grain, called "white rice." It was thought this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest.Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps (碎片) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called "brown rice."Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri—even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure.76. From the context, what do you think the author mentions in the paragraph that is just before this first paragraph?A. One example of the importance of vitamins.B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.D. One example of the benefits of various vitamins.77. The disease "beri-beri" ________.A. kills large numbers of Western peoplesB. is a vitamin deficiency diseaseC. is transmitted by diseased riceD. can be caught from diseased chickens78. The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard ________.A. couldn't digest the huskless riceB. proved beri-beri is transmitted by germsC. were later cooked for the patients' foodD. were suffering from vitamin deficiency79. Huskless, white rice ________.A. was cheaper than brown riceB. was less beneficial to the body than brown riceC. was more beneficial to the body than brown riceD. cured beri-beri80. The ingredient missing from white rice ________.A. was Vitamin BB. did not affect the chickensC. was named the Eijkman vitaminD. has never been accurately identifiedQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Yinlan looked at the people sitting around the table and smiled with satisfaction. Everyone in her family was there—her children, her grandchildren, and her new great-grandson, just one month old. Her whole family had come to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival (节日).Two days after the Harvest Moon Festival, Yinlan died peacefully in her sleep. Her family was sad but at the same time grateful. They felt happy that they had been able to celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival with her one last time. Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died just two days after the holiday.Actually, the timing of Yinlan's death was not remarkable at all. Recently sociologists (社会学家) studied the death rate among elderly Chinese women in California. They discovered that the death rate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent. Sociologists believe that these changes in death rate show the mind's power over the body. The Harvest Moon Festival, when families gather, is important to elderly Chinese women. Apparently some women are able to postpone (推延) their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new. Many families tell stories of a relative who held on to life until after an important event. The stories people tell, however, are just that: stories. They are not proof that people can postpone their deaths. The sociologists' work is important because the sociologists studied facts, not stories. The facts—the drop and rise in death rates—prove that people really can postpone their deaths.81. When did Yilan die?A. During the Harvest Moon Festival.B. Before going to sleep.C. Just before the Harvest Moon Festival.D. A couple days after the Harvest Moon Festival.82. The writer tells us the story of Yilan to let us know that _________.A. the Harvest Moon Festival is important to elderly Chinese womenB. Chinese families get together to enjoy the Harvest Moon FestivalC. families are often sad during the Harvest Moon FestivalD. people may be able to put off death for an important event83. Where did the study take place?A. China.B. Yilan's home.C. Festival grounds.D. California.84. What does the author describe as "not new"?A. The work of sociologists.B. Proof of postponing death.C. The Harvest Moon Festival.D. Stories of putting off death.85. What provides us with proof?A. The stories of family members.B. The numbers showing death rates.C. The important events.D. The postponing of death.Quiz1题号答案1.B2.A3.C4.D5.B6.D7.C8.D9.C 10. A11.A 12.D 13.C 14.A 15.A 16.A 17.D 18.C 19.D 20.

It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage.As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame.
