There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their on way till they became well known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourselves.”Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to society. They never can gain achievements they see their weak points and keep improving themselves. They are nothing now and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.32.Which of the following titles fits this passage best?A) How to become famousB) What helps to make a good teacherC) Men must help each otherD) Depend on your own efforts33.Many great men succeeded because ____________.A) they were anxious to become richB) they had received good educationC) they had made great efforts to learn and workD) they wanted very much to become very-known34.One of the most famous teachers in England said that he wanted to ____________.A) make his pupils rich menB) make his pupils great menC) help his pupils find a way to win honourD) help his pupils make themselves useful men35.If young people depend on their own efforts, ____________.A) they are sure to be famous in the worldB) they can be successful in their livesC) they can live without support from their familiesD) they will no longer need help36.From this passage we can see that the writer ____________.A) is a man with a strong willB) shows great respect for teachersC) is in favour of those who struggle for successD) feels it important to accept the advice of othersTask 2Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They t ell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.37.The author believes in the passage that ____________.A) anyone can choose his color preference in his lifeB) no one can choose his color preference in his lifeC) anyone is born with his color preferenceD) no one is born with his color preference38.According to the passage, ____________.A) if you enjoy life, you must like yellow, orange and redB) when you are quiet, you must prefer grays and bluesC) if you love green, you usually do what you have decidedD) if you love pink, you often go to flower shops39.Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because ____________.A) colors may affect the emotional states of the peopleB) colors may decide the results of our work and studyC) color preference can tell you who your friends areD) color preference can help you to see through your enemies40.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A) It is no proper to wear a red dress in summer.B) We fell happier and more active if we see light and bright colors.C) All the machines in a factory are painted orange.D) No machines in a factory are painted black.41.The main idea of this passage is ____________.A) color preference has something to do with one’s characterB) colors have effects on human psychological statesC) you will know your friends or your enemies by knowing the colors they likeD) all of the aboveTask 3Directions:The following is a introduction to some of the famous inventors and their inventions.After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 to No. 50).You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the AnswerSheet correspondingly.Inventors and their InventionsNew inventions are appearing every day to make our lives easier, longer, warmer, speedier and so on.

Now, two doctors have found another reason not to eat many sweets. They may cause skin problems. Conditions such as acne and itchiness may be made worse by eating white flour, sugar, and white rice. It’s worse to eat these foods on an empty stomach because that is when they will have the strongest effect on the skin. The doctors recommend that other foods such as potatoes, brown rice and fresh fruit be eaten instead of sweets.11. too much sugar 12. reason 13. Conditions 14. the strongest effect 15. instead ofSection DMost people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that children learn more easily than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age twelve or thirteen we lose the ability to learn language well. Is it true that children learn a foreign language more easily than adults? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the teenagers learn more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed that the ability to learn a language increases as the age increases, from children to adulthood. There are several possible explanations for these results. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meaning more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help themselves in learning a new language. Finally, adults have more self-control than children. Therefore, it seems that the common belief that children are better learners than adults may not be true.16. learn more easily 17. the younger children18. the age increases 19.

Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you.In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.41.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.I am writing to thank you for the interesting reports which appeared in the July/August '94 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. I am interested in your reports since B12 deficiency( 缺乏症 ) is an inherited disorder in my family. In the late 1950s /early 1960s, a research project was carried out on it by a London medical school.My grandmother was 49 when she started vitamin B12 injections in 1949. She was admitted to the hospital with a blood disease. My mother was 63 when she began vitamin B12 injections. After reading your article, I believe her treatment was started too late. At the time, she almost lost her eyesight and was told that she had other diseases.Earlier this year, I visited my doctor and explained that I felt very tired and asked for a bloodtest to establish whether I was suffering from B12 deficiency. I was told I was much too youngand that only people in their 80s suffered B12 deficiency. I told him he was wrong and that research was carried out on my family 30 years ago.I have always believed that prevention is better than cure. I now know why I love Kellogg's Honey Nut Cornflakes( 玉米片 ). They contain vitamins, including B12! If foods contain added vitamins, as you suggest in your article, then B12 deficiency and diseases associated with it should be left to the past.36.The passage you have just read is most probably ________.A)a thank-you letter to a medical doctorB)an advertisement for vitamin B12C)a letter to the editor of a magazineD)a preface to a book on Vitamins37.Why is the author interested in the reports in the Saturday Evening Post?A)He was seriously ill with vitamin B12 deficiency.B)He wanted to prevent himself from suffering from vitamin B12 deficiency.C)He wanted to cure his family members of an inherited disorder.D)He was curious about the latest medical developments.38.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A)Doctors are not always reliable.B)Most foods contain vitamins, including B12.C)The author was determined to get rid of the inherited disorder in his family.D)Vitamin B12 deficiency can be prevented if measures are taken early.39.The reports the author had read probably told him ________.A)to have his blood tested earlyB)to take food rich in vitaminsC)to have regular vitamin injectionsD)not to believe his doctor40.Doctors think that the usual case of B12 deficiency occurs when ________.A)a patient is at an old ageB)a person is very youngC)a person doesn't take foods containing vitaminsD)a patient stops vitamin injectionsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking精品文档into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food.“ Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and then don’ t realize that w of edible( 可食用的 ) foods adds up much more at home,” said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100food experts who met in Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a cost of $4.5 billion peryear. That ’almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps andchild nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. Duringthe 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975.Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from theprevious year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in largequantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased,consumers then tend to waste more.His theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted atabout a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if youto pull something out of the cookbook every night, That’ s bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upperincome families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart,is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items are more likely to be wasted.The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least.Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.rge quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker__________.A.thinks they are not deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not42.American families throw out between___________of edible food every year.A. 5% ~ 8%B. 8% ~ 10%C. 20% ~ 28%D. 8% ~ 20%43. When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar____________.A. went downB. went upC. stayed the sameD. was cut in half44.Which of the following statements is true?A.American housewives are not good homemakers.B.Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.C.American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.D.Americans waste a great deal of dog food.45.When do American families waste more food?A.When prices are high.B.When food is scarce.C.When they think it is spoiled.D.All of the above.Task 3Directions: The following is a news article. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No.46 through No. 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no morethan 4 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.YOUR BUSINESS NAME CAN BE ONE OF YOURMOST EFFECTIVE AND LEAST EXPENSIVEMARKETING TOOLSToo often, however, we choose a name without giving thought to its marketing value. Some people opt for （选择） using their own names; others may create a clever but obscure( 模糊的 ) name, or one that has sentimental（感情上的） value. As a result, the names might end up costing them business, instead of attracting it. A common mistake in choosing a name is selecting a misleading name; for example, calling a firm “Writing Services”while it actually produces medical equipment. Another mistake is choosing a name that is hard to spell or pronounce. It is also a mistake to select a name that is too general, such as ABC Company. Your main goal should be to choose a name which your customers can easily remember whenever they want your product or service.A business name can be an effective and inexpensive46fora company. Some people opt for creating either a47_ name, ora sentimental one. As a result, the names might end up48.The article mentions49in choosing a business name.
