You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark thecorrespondingletter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on thefollowing passage.Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. Atsome point, however, we all begin to question our heroes andour need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes aroundthe world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles largerthan themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers andstep it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those whoimitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes iswhat or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live anddie for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve onlytheir own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claimthat their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts ( 催化剂 ) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. Theycreate new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might stillbe part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离旳) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may bepossible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and thecommittee meetings endless.11.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they .A)generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB)probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC)are often influenced by previous generationsD)all unknowingly attract a large number of fans12.According to the passage, heroes are c omparedto high-voltage transformers in that .A)they have a vision from the mountaintopB)they have warm feelings and emotionsC)they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD)they can make people feel stronger and more confident13.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroesbecause.A)they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB)their performances do not improve their fans morallyC)their primary concern is their own financial interestsD)they are not clear about the principles they should follow14.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples o foutstanding leaders who .A)are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB)can move the masses with their forceful speechesC)are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD)can provide an answer to the problems of their people15.The author concludes that historical changes would .A)be delayed without leaders with inspiring personalqualitiesB)not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC)take place ff there were heroes to lead the peopleD)produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on thefollowing passage.According to a survey, which was based on the responses ofover 188,000students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “morematerialistic。

Reading Comprehension (4 points)Read the passages, then answer the questions that follow. (1 point each )Experiencing Culture ShockA When Eliza James arrived at the University of Xian, she was excited to live in a new country, to improve her Chinese, and to experience a culture so different from her own. But soon her excitement turned tofrustration as she encountered one roadblock after another. "I felt like I couldn't accomplish anything. My dorm room had no heat, I couldn't get into the classes I wanted, and every time I asked someone for help they gave me the runaround. I felt like no one was listening to me." Eliza met with administrators, sent letters of complaint, and even contacted the consulate in Beijing, but she got nowhere. What Eliza didn't realize was that her American approach to solving problems was very different from the Chinese one in which patience and negotiation skills are key. She soon learned how to solve problems within the cultural norms of Chinese society instead of forcing her own values onto those around her. "I finally feel like I fit in and that I know what I'm doing. In fact, it's really fun being in a place that's so incredibly different from what I am accustomed to."B Yoshi Yamamoto is a junior at a small college outside of Boston. Although he is an honors student now, Yoshi didn't always have such an easy time studying in America. "Teaching methods are very different here than they are in Japan. It took me a long time to get used to learning in seminars and discussing ideas with my classmates. At first it seemed like I wasn't actually learning anything." Yoshi's reaction was to totally withdraw: he didn't participate in class discussion; he spent lots of time alone in his room, and he even skipped class on occasion. "I thought I could teach myself. Now I recognize the value of the U.S. academic system, and I am able to adapt it to my own learning style."C Both Eliza and Yoshi experienced what is called culture shock: psychological disorientation due to living in a new culture. For many international students, studying abroad can offer exposure to new cultures and an opportunity to study new fields and languages. However, it also offers the greater challenge of trying to function in a foreign culture. Studying and reading about a certain culture is poor preparation for the reality of living in it. According to psychological studies, the four stages of culture shock are 1. euphoria, 2. hostility, 3. gradual adjustment, and 4. adaptation. Culture shock can be manifested in many ways: homesickness, boredom, stereotyping of or hostility towards the host culture, overeating or overdrinking, withdrawal, and inability to work effectively.D Different people experience different levels of culture shock and react in different ways. For example, Eliza got angry while Yoshi withdrew from society. The most important thing to remember is that culture shock is normal; it is not something to be ashamed of. Luckily, there are some things international students can do to make their adjustment to a new country go more smoothly. For instance, they can stay in touch with family and friends from home, join international student organizations, meet people from their own countries, and get involved in campus activities. Most importantly, they can adjust to life abroad by keeping a sense of humor and trying to remain positive.Recognizing Paragraph Topics(choose the paragraph letter)题目27. an explanation of culture shock选择一项:C.

(1 point each) Seasonal Affective Disorder: More than Just the BluesA Joshua dreads the winter months, not only because of the cold New England weather--the sleet, snow, wind, and rain--but because as the seasons change from summer to fall to winter, the days get shorter. As the days get shorter, he starts feeling depressed and irritable and spends more and more time at home, eating and sleeping. A graduate student in philosophy, Joshua finds that he gets little work done during the winter months and has trouble paying attention in class and concentrating on his research. "I soon realized that what I thought was just the 'winter blues' was something more extreme than that." Josh visited a doctor who diagnosed him with SAD.B Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a kind of depression that occurs seasonally. It is associated with the long hours of darkness and lack of sunlight during the winter months (people with SAD usually feel worse from December through February). Scientists don't completely understand the exact causes of SAD, but they believe it is related to a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the basic part of the brain that controls the body's breathing, heartbeat, metabolism, and hormone release. The effects of SAD include moodiness, irritability, low energy, increased appetite for carbohydrates (foods such as potatoes, rice, and bread), difficulty concentrating, and the tendency to oversleep.C Although doctors described SAD for the first time in 1984, humans have probably dealt with the disorder for thousands of years. It is not a coincidence that many cultures have important celebrations during the short days of the winter months. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter Solstice celebrations all occur in December. These celebrations involve lighting candles in order to bring light, warmth, and happiness to an otherwise depressing time of year.D So what can SAD sufferers do to feel better? Naturally, they need more light. For people who have mild cases of SAD, exercising in the morning sun could be enough to help them. Phototherapy, or light therapy, is usually prescribed for people who have more serious cases of the disorder. In light therapy, patients sit in front of a light box, a strong artificial light, for up to four hours a day. Phototherapy is effective in over 80% of SAD cases, and patients usually see results within three to four days. Although the symptoms of SAD are similar to those of clinical depression, traditional antidepressants have not proven useful in treating SAD. While psychological counseling cannot treat the symptoms of SAD, it is recommended to help SAD sufferers learn to accept and deal with their illness.题目26. Joshua starts feeling depressed and irritable in the winter because选择一项:B. he suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder题目37.

Reading Comprehension (5 points)Read the passages, then answer the questions that follow. (1 point each )Fast food can be good foodMany people are too busy to prepare and eat three nutritious meals a day.so they turn to the convenience of fast-food restaurants. Many of the items at fast-food restaurants, snack bars, and food stands are fattening and not very nutritious.But fast food d oesn’t have to be unhealthy.you can eat at fast-food restaurants and still eat well.Pay Attention to Calories and Fat ContentBy paying attention to the number of calories and fat that a food item has ,you can make smarter choices.Calories are “units for measuring how much energy a food will produce”.condsider two fast-food meals. A quarter-pound hamburger with cheese, jumbo-size fries,and a 16-ounce soda have a total of 1,535 calories and 76 grams of fat .a broiled (cooked under direct heat or over a flame )chicken sandwich ,a side salad with low-fat dressing,and a glass of water at the same fast-food restaurant have only 422 calories and 7 grams of fat .but maybe you really want a hamburger and fries .well,you can have a small hamburger,a small serving o f fries,and a glass of water.At a total of 490 calories and 20 grams of fat,that’s stilla much smarter choice than the large burger ,fries,and 20 grams of fat ,that’s still a much smarter choice than the large burger,fries,and sada.There’s More That You Can DoThere are a few additional things you can do to make sure you eat well in fast food restaurantS.First of all,say “no” when the cashier asks you if you want to “supersize” you meal (order an extra large portion of each item).Second, ask for no mayonnaise or sauce,or ask for it on the side (in a separate dish).Third,substitute(use something instead of something else)healthy foods for fatty ones. For example,instead of ordering deep-fried tempura,order fresh vegetables.Instead of ordering a beef burrito with lots of cheese and sour cream,order a vegetable burrito with beans and rice.and don’t eat the chips!Another thing you can do is order a side salad or a vegetable soup and eat it first.That way,you will eat some vegetables,and you won’t be able to eat as much of your burger and fries.Fnally,eat slowly and stop eating when you’re full. It sounds simple,but many people keep eating even after they become full.题目11.What is the main idea of this article ?________选择一项:C. You can eat well in fast-food restaurant题目22.A small hamburger and small firies has __________选择一项:A. more calories and fat than a chicken sandwich and a salad.题目33.Some things you can do to eat well in fast-food restaurants are________选择一项:D. order healthy foods instead of fatty ones and drink water.题目44.Manyonnaise and sauces probably_________选择一项:C. have a lot of fat and calories.题目55.

Vocabulary skills(2 points)Read the paragraph below and fill in each blank with a word from the box. (0.4 points each)题目6changes damaging losing global availableThe growing similarities in diet and eating habits around the world are influencing people of various cultures in different ways. For example, Western foods are 6 damaging health in the industrialized island country of Japan. Instead of small meals of seafood, rice, and vegetables, the typical Japanese diet now includes large amounts of meat, dairy products, and desserts like tiramisu, a rich Italian dish full of chocolate, cheese, and sugar. According to Japanese health researchers, such 7 changes in eating habits are related to a great increase in health problems such as heart disease, strokes, cancer, and diabetes. On the other hand, the changing 8 global diet is having the opposite effect on the people in the CzechRepublic. The government of this European nation no longer supports meat and dairy products financially, so the cost of these foods is going up. In contrast, fresh fruits and vegetables are becoming more widely 9 available from private markets and stands. Cooks are even serving salads to schoolchildren, and families are eating healthier home-cooked meals. For these reasons, fewer Czech men are having heart attacks, the women are 10 losing a lot of weight, and most people are living healthier lives.Chapter 4 Exercise(分值7分I. Vocabulary Skills(2 points)题目1Match each vocabulary word on the left with the correct definition on the right. (0.4 points each)1.make sense2.pedestrians3.vehicle4.teenager5.fine答案:II. Reading Comprehension (5 points)Complete the following statements by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D. (1 point each)These days, it’s getting easier and easier to find your way around. Some people have GPS devices in their cars to make sure they don’t get lost. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. These devices use satellites in space to “see” where you are and give you directions to where you want to go. And if you don’t have a GPS device, you can simply go online to get step-by-step directions. Websites like and can produce a map and directions in just a few seconds. But how do they do it? MapQuest® uses data (informatio n) from a few different sources to produce directions and maps. Before MapQuest® went online, it sold regular paper maps in places like gas stations. The website uses the data from those paper maps, information from digital mapping companies, and government databases. At the moment, MapQuest® uses more than 30 computers to read all this data and provides users with millions of maps every day.In order to find the best route (way or path) from one place to another, MapQuest® first has to look at all possible routes. Then MapQuest® looks at each part of each possible route. It considers the types of roads on the different routes. Are they dirt roads, paved roads, freeways, or city streets? It looks at how many turns there are in each route and what kinds of turns they are. Are they right turns or left turns? It also considers the speed limit on each road and how many intersections there are. An intersection is “a place where two or more roads cross each other”.MapQuest® can also tell you how long your trip will take you. It does this by doing some math. MapQuest® bases its estimated driving times on the length and speed limit of each part of the route and the amount of time it probably takes to get through each intersection. For example, it allows more time for a left turn at an intersection than it does for a right turn. Someday, maybe we will have cars that can just drive us wherever we want to go, but for now, mapping websites make it a little harder to get lost.题目26.What is the main idea of this article?选择一项:C. How mapping websites work.题目37.According to the article, MapQuest®______选择一项:D. starting by selling paper maps.题目48.When you search for directions, the first thing MapQuest® does is_______选择一项:D. look at all possible paths.题目59.When it’s deciding on the best route, MapQuest® probably chooses ________选择一项:C. freeways instead of dirt roads.题目610. To estimate your driving time, MapQuest® considers _________选择一项:D. the speed limits and types of turns on your route.Chapter 5 Exercise(分值7分)I.

( 0.4 points each)题目6living extended category typical believeThe Family of the FutureMany people today would like the traditional two-parent family back—that is to say, they want a man and a woman to marry for life; they also think the man should sport the family and the woman should stay home with the children. However, few families now fall into this 6 category In fact, if more women decide to have children on their own, the single-parent household may become more 7typica l than the traditional family in many countries. Also, unmarried couples may decided to have more children—or they might take in foster children or adopt. And because people are staying single and 8 living longer (often as widows), there may be more one-person households in the future. On the other hand, some people 9believe similar events happen again and again in history. If this is true, people may go back to the traditional 10 extended or nuclear family of the past. Others think the only certainty in history is changing: in other words, the structure of the future family could begin to change faster and faster—and in more and more ways.Chapter 6 Exercise(分值7分)I.

Write “T” for True and “F” for False. (1 point each)题目6Many visitors to different countries don’t realize how important it is to understand a country’s culture. Sometimes people learn this lesson by making a big cross-cultural blunder, or embarrassing mistake. In business situations, these blunders can cost a lot of money or end business relationships.6.It is important to understand other people’s cultures before you do business with them.选择一项:B. T题目7For example, one company wanted to sell toothpaste in Southeast Asia. In their advertisements, they claimed that their toothpaste whitens teeth. They didn’t understand that many of the local people chewed betel nuts to make their teeth black, and that these people thought black teeth were attractive.7. The toothpaste company probably kept using the same advertisement in Southeast Asia.选择一项:题目8In an other case, a car company tried to sell a car called “Matador” in a Spanish-speaking country. The company thought that it was a strong name because it means “bullfighter”. In Spanish, matador is indeed a noun meaning “bullfighter”. But it is also an adjective meaning “killing”. Imagine driving around in a car called “Killing”!8. The car company that tried to sell a car to a Spanish-speaking country probably didn’t sell many Matador cars in that country.选择一项:B. T题目9A European businessman had an important meeting with a company in Taiwan. He wanted to bring gifts for the people he was meeting with.

He didn’t know that giving a knife as a gift symbolizes cutting off a friendship!9. The European businessman probably researches new cultures before he visits them now.选择一项:A. T题目10It’s very easy to make blunders like these people did. But it’s also very easy not to.

These happy senior citizens, some of them over the age of 90, claim that the natural fruit juice cures—or at least decreases—the pain of their arthritis, a 6 disease of the joints of the aging body. It’s a folk remedy, not a proven medical therapy. Nevertheless, science is beginning to 7 figure out why sour cherry juice might work to improve the health of patients with arthritis. The secret is in the 8 substance that gives the cherries their dark red color.

Reading Comprehension (5 points)Complete the following sentences by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D. (1 point each)AEveryone makes mistakes, or so the saying goes. But have you ever heard about mistakes in Hollywood? When most people think of Hollywood, they think of blockbusters (very successful movies), high-paid actors, glitz, and glamour. But according to one Website, many Hollywood movies are full of mistakes. Some are technical errors. For instance, in a scene of the science-fiction adventure film The Matrix, when the main character steps out of his car, the viewer can clearly see the camera crew in the car window. In another scene, the same character is typing on his computer, yet the computer screen is blank. Other movie mistakes are historical. For example, the epic Gladiator, an Oscar winner, is known for having lots of historical errors. Throughout the movie, the gladiator Maximus refers to his home in Spain, and the other characters call him "the Spaniard." However, in 180 A.D., when the movie takes place, Spain as a country or even as a concept didn't exist yet. At another point in the movie, Maximus says that his homeland of Spain has "the best horses." But horses weren't brought to the Iberian Peninsula until the invasion of the Moors (North Africans) in 711 A.D, more than 500 years after the movie takes place. The historical drama Titanic, another Oscar winner, also has its share of historical blunders. The Titanic sunk in the year 1912. So why is one of the characters wearing a digital watch? In fact, movie watchers have found over 100 mistakes in The Matrix, Gladiator, and Titanic. Can you think of any errors in your favorite films?BHow susceptible are you to advertising? Has a TV commercial or magazine ad ever made you buy the product that was advertised? If so, perhaps you have been subjected to subliminal advertising. Subliminal advertising is a kind of advertising that appeals to the subconscious. The word "subliminal" comes from the Latin "sub" meaning "lower," "beneath," or "under," and "limen" meaning "threshold," (the level at which something begins to happen). Thus, subliminal advertising stimulates your brain at a level below conscious perception. You。

前言英文文法是英文写作必备的基础。
写作牵涉到的问题可说千头万绪,小自用字、中间是句子、大到文章组织,每一个环节都必须处理得当。
在「听、说、读、写」的英文学习过程中,写作一向是最后、也是最困难的一步。
英文文法探讨的对象是「句子」;学习文法的目的在于认识英文句子的构造与所有的变化、看懂最复杂的句子,进一步能够写出从单句到复合句到减化子句、清楚正确而又富有变化的各种英文句子。
初级句型这本文法书将带领读者,分成三个层次逐步打通英文句子写作的所有环节。
第一个层次是最基本的单句层次,介绍英文单句的五种基本句型。
这个部分的目标在于建立一个架构:最基本的英文单句必须符合五种基本句型之一,才是正确的英文句子。
这个部分最简单,但也可以说是最重要,因为单句是往后架构复合句以及减化子句等一切变化的基础。
英文单句中可能出现的一些元素,包括名词词组、动词词组、修饰语(形容词与副词、含介系词词组)等等,这些元素本书也都安排在单句的层次一一处理。
处理名词词组这个元素时将一并处理到限定符的用法。
处理动词词组时将一并处理到一些依赖动词来表现的变化,包括时态、语气(含助动词与假设法)、以及语态(主动与被动)等等。
处理这些问题时难免要牵扯到复句的观念进来,例如解说时态的变化必须提到时间副词子句。
但是本书在单句这个层次并不会深入探讨复句,只是先引用一些复句做为例子、留待以后再做更完整的说明。
接下来本书将处理一些介乎单句与复句之间的元素:动名词词组、现在分词词组、过去分词词组、不定词词组、原形动词等等。
这些元素,传统文法视为词组看待,统称为动状词(verbals),仍然属于单句的层次。
新的文法观念则将其视为子句看待,统称为非限定子句(nonfinite clauses)。
本书在单句的层次将先采取传统文法的认定、以词组的角度向读者介绍一次这些元素,留待后面再来做更深入完整的探讨。
中级句型告别了初级的单句层次,接下来就要进入复合句的层次了。
这个部分可以称为中级句型的层次。
(To be shown in 1 day.)这次真难啊!以下是Compound dictation的原文,有兴趣的看看吧Economy Cools Amid Shopping SlowdownFri Jul 30, 2004By Tim AhmannWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy lost steam in the second quarter as consumers hit by high energy costs turned thrifty, notching their smallest increase in spending since the 2001 recession, government data released on Friday showed.U.S. gross domestic product, a measure of total output within the nation's borders, climbed at a modest and weaker-than-expected 3 percent annual rate in the April-June period after an upwardly revised 4.5 percent clip at the start of the year, Commerce Department data showed.Consumer spending rose at a paltry 1 percent rate, a mere shadow of the 4.1 percent jump of the first quarter and the weakest gain since the second quarter of 2001, when the economy was in recession.The degree to which consumers retrenched surprised Wall Street analysts. Moody's Investors Service chief economist John Lonski called the spending gain "shockingly small."While GDP growth proved weaker than expected, the economy's pulse has already shown signs of quickening. Other data on Friday showed consumer spirits have brightened a bit this month, while business activity has picked up in the Midwest.Bond prices rose as investors saw weakness, but the dollar moved higher against the euro as foreign exchange traders saw strength. Stock prices were little changed.PRICES HIT SPENDINGFor President Bush, who hopes a strong expansion will help him retain the White House in November's election, the blow from the tepid second quarter was lessened by the upward revisions to growth in the January-March period."When you combine the first quarter and the second quarter ... we're growing at 3.75 percent, which is (a) very strong growth rate and very sustainable," Treasury Secretary John Snow told WDAY radio in Fargo, North Dakota.Democratic Sen. John Kerry's campaign used the data to call attention to what they termed as Bush's "failed policies.""Clearly this is a disappointing number, but our focus isn't on any single quarter, it's on how to reverse the failed policies of the last four years," Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer said.In an updated forecast, the White House said the economy would likely expand 4.7 percent this year, a touch above the 4.5 percent consensus projection in the latest issue of the closely watched Blue Chip Economic Indicators newsletter.INFLATION TAKES A TOLLAnalysts said big energy price hikes were one factor that hit consumer spending in the spring.Inflation -- gauged by a measure favored by policy-makers at the Federal Reserve -- rose at a relatively speedy 3.3 percent rate in the second quarter, the same as at the start of the year.However, stripping out often-volatile food and energy prices, the price gauge for consumer spending climbed at only a 1.8 percent rate, a slowdown from a 2.1 percent increase in the first quarter that helped soothe bond investors.Fed officials have said they should be able to move borrowing costs higher at a "measured" pace unless it sees a risk of broad-based inflation.The slowing in so-called core inflation was seen as bolstering the case for gradual rate rises."What we see in this data is the Fed will stick to their measured pace or maybe even slow down a bit," said Kevin Logan, an economist with Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein in New York.The GDP report showed businesses ramped up spending on capital equipment and structures, pushing it ahead at a solid 8.9 percent pace, more than double the January-March rise."The vigor in investment spending is especially heartening and suggests that as long as the consumer gets back on track this summer, the economy should be in great shape," said Steve Stanley, chief economist at RBS Greenwich Capital.Activity in the housing sector also picked up.A separate report showed consumers' moods have brightened a bit this month, suggesting spending could quicken. The University of Michigan's final July sentiment index rose to 96.7 from 95.6 last month, according to sources who saw the subscription-only report.Another report showed business activity picking up in the Midwest. The business barometer from the National Association of Purchasing Management-Chicago rose to 64.7 in July from 56.4 in June, suggesting a factory recovery is gaining traction.。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The Tokyo District Court, in a ruling(裁决) last week, ordered the bank to pay the women a total of almost $900 000 and declared that the 11 of the 12 plaintiffs(原告) must be promoted to management positions immediately. It was the first time aJapanese court has held against an employer liable for denying promotions because of gender and a landmark ruling in a country where women face discrimination in nearly every aspect of their lives.The working conditions faced by the women at the bank are similar to those faced by millions of others across Japan. More than 99 percent of the bank’s managers were men; overall in Japan, only 4 percent of managers are women, compared with more than 40 percent in the US.In their suit, filed more than nine years ago, the women argued that most of the bank’s 200 female employees were expected to serve tea to their male colleagues. College educated women with up to 40 years’ seniority were stuck in jobs counting coins or answering phones, while men were usually promoted to management within 15 years.The “glass ceiling” for women in the workplace has long been decried in the US, but that ceiling is set several stories lower in Japan. Women who do succeed face more subtle pressures. They are routinely encouraged to quit their jobs when they have children. Those who choose to stay at work, or not to marry, are subjected to heavy pressure from bosses and coworkers to follow a more “normal” course.Nonetheless in recent years more women have postponed marriage, even rejected it altogether, and stayed in the workplace. And as they do, pressure is building from Japanese women who want the kind of opportunities available to their American and European counterparts. In 1990, a Japanese court for the first time ruled that unequal pay for women and men doing the same work was illegal. The new ruling against Japan’s systematic denial of management positions to women is expected to boost the chances of at least 10 similar suits that have been filed against other employers.1. The women filed a suit against the bank because ________.A) they wanted to have a pay riseB) their working conditions were very bad everywhere in JapanC) they were denied promotions being womenD) there were too many male employees in the bank2. According to the passage, female employees in Japan________.A) are more highly educated than menB) enjoy giving service to their male colleaguesC) are less likely to be promoted than their U.S. counterpartsD) must work for 40 years before they get promotion3. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A) The ceiling of a house in Japan is much lower than that in the U.S.B) In Japan, there exists gender discrimination in almost all walks of life.C) Women in Japan tend to marry older nowadays.D) It was not illegal before 1990 to underpay women doing the same work as men.4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) successful women have fewer children than ordinary womenB) American female employees are also not equally treatedC) women in America usually quit their jobs when they have childrenD) women who choose not to marry may have better opportunities to be promoted5. The best title for this passage would be ________.A) Pressures Women FaceB) Successful Women and MarriageC) Means to Management PositionsD) A Ruling — A New StartPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The English language is the lingua franca of business to an extent not imaginable even a decade ago. Three-quarters of the world’s mail, telexes and cables are in English. And each of those figures is growing.English is now the official language of a number of international companies. The EFTA organization has English as its official language despite the fact that none of its six member countries uses it as a native language. The European Community (EC), by contrast, so complicates its affairs by using all nine official languages that 60% of its administration budget goes on translation and interpretation, despite the fact that most of its staff speak English or French.The first foreign language the Japanese learn is English. Every Japanese child who finishes secondary school will have had an average of eight years of English language instruction, for a total of 1,000 hours. There are over 700 English language training schools in Tokyo alone, as many as there are in all of England. A further 13,000 Japanese students undertake courses, many of which emphasize language as well as technical skills, in America. The shortage of Japanese managers able to speak other European languages is far greater, that is a major factor in attracting Japanese firms to Britain rather than anywhere else in the EC.6. According to the author, the English language ________.A) has been the lingua franca for a decadeB) began to be used in business one decade agoC) has been more widely used in business in recent yearsD) was not imaginable to be used in business ten years ago7. What is true about the EFTA organization according to the passage?A) The EFTA organization has nine member countries.B) The EFTA is part of the European Community.C) The EFTA is an international company with English as its official language.D) All the member countries of the EFTA use English as their native language.8. The author's attitude towards the using of all the nine official languages in (EC)would be ________.A) appropriateB) criticalC) positiveD) neutral9. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that ________.A) there is the same number of language training schools in Tokyo as that in EnglandB) there are a lot of Japanese students studying in AmericaC) Japanese take English as their first foreign languageD) Finishing secondary school Japanese children will have had about 1,000 hours of English study10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) the European Community will use English and French as its official languagesB) Japanese government will increase the total number of hours in English study for secondary school studentsC) Japanese businessmen would be likely to do business with Britain rather than other European countriesD) Japanese language will probably become lingua franca of business all over the worldPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The term, culture shock, was introduced for the first time in 1958 to describe the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. The feeling of culture shock generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place.We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or a place different from the place of origin. Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted as or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use the telephone and so forth.The symptoms of cultural shock can appear at different times. Although, one can experience real pain from culture shock; it is also an opportunity for redefining one's life objectives. It is a great opportunity for learning and acquiring new perspectives. Culture shock can make one develop a better understanding of oneself and stimulate personal creativity.Symptoms:Sadness, loneliness, melancholy.Preoccupation with health.Aches, pains, and allergies.Insomnia, desire to sleep too much or too little.Changes in temperament, depression, feeling vulnerable, feeling powerless.Anger, irritability, resentment, unwillingness to interact with others.Identifying with the old culture or idealizing the old country.Loss of identity.Trying too hard to absorb everything in the new culture or country.Unable to solve simple problems.Lack of confidence.Feelings of inadequacy or insecurity.Developing stereotypes about the new culture.Developing obsessions such as over-cleanliness.Longing for family.Feelings of being lost, overlooked, exploited or abused.11. According to the passage, the phrase "set in"(Line 4, Para.1) means _____________.A) begin and seem likely to continueB) move outC) begin a journeyD) be got rid of12. Culture shock may be defined as ____________.A) the physical discomfort one suffers when visiting a new placeB) a real pain one experiences when coming to a new placeC) a good opportunity of learning and acquiring new thingsD) a feeling of confusion and anxiety one feels when living in another country13. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about culture shock?A) Feeling depressed, vulnerable and powerless.B) Feeling angry and reluctant to communicate with others.C) Feeling angry, inadequate and confident.D) Feeling lonely, sad and painful.14. We can conclude from the passage that ______________.A) living in a new place one has to redefine one's life objectivesB) one has a good chance to learn when living in another countryC) cultural shock has both negative and positive effect on one's lifeD) personal creativity is stimulated by cultural shock15. The author's purpose in writing this passage is ___________.A) to stress the impact of cultural shockB) to explain the concept of cultural shockC) to discuss the side effect of cultural shockD) to list the symptoms of cultural shockPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:School children will have a more difficult time skipping classes in the future if a software program that lets parents monitor their children catches on.A start-up company called SchoolSoft, based in Cupertino, Calif., unveiled an upgrade to its software that lets parents monitor their child’s performance in school over the Internet.The company has developed software that runs on 3Com.Corp.’s popular PalmPilot handheld computers, SchoolSoft resells the PalmPilot to schools, pre-loaded with SchoolSoft software, plus programs to run on a school’s network server. School teachers can then enter into the PalmPilot student attendance data, grades, homework assignments, activities and the like, which is sent to the school’s central server. Later, parents with either Internet access or just a telephone can access the school’s server for updates from the teacher. Before the software upgrade, parents could only access the system via the telephone.Jim Weldon, SchoolSoft founder and chief executive, said the company at present has an installed base of about 330 schools around the United States, and that the software was used for children in kindergarten all the way up to secondary school. “In high school, parents really want to track activities, grades, etc. — how do they get on track to go to college?” said Weldon. “Children also have access as well to their academic records... Sometimes you don’t know where you are.”When asked if many children have objected to their parents using the software, Weldon said that most are aware of the advantages the software can provide, such as letting them know about grades and performance issues in school --- long before report cards arrive.16. The phrase "catches on" (Line 2, para. 1) probably means __________.A) "becomes popular"B) "is on sale again"C) "becomes perfect"D) "is further modified"17. The software discussed in the passage is designed to help ________.A) schools find easy access to students' parentsB) parents know better about children's performance in schoolC) teachers update students' academic recordsD) students know their academic position in school18.

Which of the following is Not True about the upgraded software?A) It is objected by many students.B) It has not enjoyed popularity in high school.C) It is sold with handled PalmPilot computers.D) It can work on a school's network central server.Keys: CCABD CCBAC ADCCB ABADAPart Three Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
