Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are two reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You will decide on the best choice.Passage 1On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train(Merci: a French word meaning “thank you”).After World War II, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop, people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money.All the things were then taken to France by ship.By 1949, the French had begun to recover from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of them were personal, like hand - made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state ofAmerica, where they were warmly greeted.Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.1.Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to _________.A. welcome the Merci TrainB. meet their familiesC. have a big partyD. start a trip by ship2.In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to _________.A. give away clothing and foodB. get more soldiers for the warC. collect things to help French peopleD. show exhibitions from the museums3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.A. the American peopleB. the French peopleC. the boxcarsD. the gifts4.The French people painted their 40 provinces and an American eagle on each boxcarbecause_________.A. they thought France was stronger than AmericaB. it could show the friendship between the two countriesC. the boxcars would be more beautifulD. they were very good at painting pictures5.The passage is mainly about _________.A. the story of the Merci TrainB. American museums where the boxcars keptC. gifts that American people likedD. World War II1.A2.C3.D4.B5.APassage 2①The Dream It is everyone’s dream to work at home or not work at all.

By telling old stories6.D7.B8.B9.A 10.CPassage 3As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.11. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none12. _________ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and windD. Strange sights and sounds13. When she went to some other places, she would _________.A. walk away without othersB. take a bus by herselfC. follow others closelyD. make sure not to take a wrong bus14. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A. She was usually popular among people.B. She was always the leader of the others.C. She always’ got poor grades.D. She was not at all liked by others.15. The underlined word “overcome” means “_________” in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服11.C 12.D 13.C 14.A 15.DPassage 4The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.16. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health17. The main reason for people not to drink too much energy drinks is that they may cause _____.A. heart problemsB. nervousnessC. sleeping difficultyD. possible health dangers18.

Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. What’s the Use of Energy Drinks?B. Who Can Drink Energy DrinksC. What’s that in Energy Drinks?D.

1.Unit OneA Question of Degree对学位的质疑Perhaps we should rethink an idea fast becoming an undisputed premise of American life that a college degree is necessary(and perhaps even a sufficient) precondition for success.I do not wish to quarrel with the assumptions made about the benefits of orthodox education.I want only to expose its false god:the four-year, all-purpose,degree-granting college,aimed at the so-called college-age population and by now almost universally accepted as the stepping-stone to“meaningful”and “better”jobs.What is wrong with the current college/work cycle can be seen in the following anomalies:we are selling college to the youth of American as a take-off pad for the material good life.College is literally advertised and packaged as a means for getting more money through“better”jobs at the same time that Harvard graduates are taking jobs as taxi drivers.This situation is perversion of the true spirit of a university,a perversion of a humane social ethic and,at bottom,a patent fraud.To take the last point first,the economy simply is not geared to guaranteeing these presumptive “better”jobs;the colleges are not geared to training for such jobs;and the ethical propriety of the entire enterprise is very questionable.We are by definition(rather than by analysis)establishing two kinds of work:work labeled“better”because it has a degree requirement tagged to it and nondegree work,which,through this logic, becomes automatically“low level”.This process is also destroying our universities.The“practical curriculum”must become paramount;the students must become servants of big business and big government.Under these conditions the university can no longer be an independent source of scientific and philosophic truth-seeking and moral criticism.Finally,and most important,we are destroying the spirit of youth by making college compulsory at adolescence,when it may be least congruent with emotional and physical needs;and we are denying college as an optional and continuing experience later in life,when it might be most congruent with intellectual and recreational needs.Let me propose an important step to reverse these trends and thus help restore freedom and dignity to both our colleges and our workplaces.We should outlaw employment discrimination based on college degrees.This would simply be another facet of our“equal-opportunity”policy and would add college degrees to sex,age, race,religion and ethnic group as inherently unfair bases for employment selection.People would,wherever possible,demonstrate their capacities on the job.Where that proved impractical,outside tests could still serve.The medical boards,bar exams,mechanical,mathematical and verbal aptitude tests might still be used by various enterprises.The burden of proof of their legitimacy,however,would remain with the using agencies.So too would the costs.Where the colleges were best equipped to impart a necessary skill they would do so,but only where it would be natural to the main thrust of a university endeavor.The need for this rethinking and for this type of legislation may best be illustrated by a case study.Joe V.is a typical liberal-arts graduate,fired by imagination art and literature.He took a job with a large New York City Bank,where he had the opportunity to enter the“assistant manager training program”.The trainees rotated among different bank departments to gain technical know-how and experience and also received classroom instruction,including some sessions on“how to write a business letter.”The program was virtually restricted to college graduates. At the end of the line,the trainees became assistant bank managers:a position consisting largely of giving simple advice to bank customers and a modest amount of supervision of employees.Joe searched for some connection between the job and the training program,on the one hand,and his college-whetted appetites and skills on the other.He found nothing.In giving Joe preference for the training program,the bank had bypassed a few enthusiastic aspirants already dedicated to a banking career and daily demonstrating their competence in closely related jobs.After questioning his superiors about the system,Joe could only conclude that the“top brass”had some very diffuse and not-too-well–researched or even well-thought-out conceptions about college men. The executives admitted that a college degree did not of itself ensure the motivation or the verbal or social skills needed.Nor were they about what skills were most desirable for their increasing diverse branches.Yet they clung to the college prerequisite.Business allows the colleges to act as recruiting,screening and training agencies for them because it saves money and time.Why colleges allow themselves to act as servicing agents may not be as apparent.One reason may be that colleges are increasingly becoming conventional bureaucracies.It is inevitable,therefore,that they should respond to the first and unchallenged law of bureaucracy:expand!The more that college’s can persuade outside institutions to restrict employment in favor of theirclientele,the stronger is the college’s hold and attraction.This rational becomes even clearer when we understand that the budgets of public universities hang on the number of students“serviced”.Seen from this perspective,then,it is perhaps easier to understand why such matters as“university independence”or“the propriety”of using the public bankroll to support enterprises that are expected to make private profits, can be dismissed.Conflict of interest is difficult to discern when the interests involved are your own.What is equally questionable is whether a college degree,as such,is proper evidence that new skills that are truly needed will be delivered.A friend who works for Manpower Training Program feels that there is a clear divide between actual job needs and college-degree requirements.One of her chief frustration is the knowledge that many persons with ability to do paraprofessional mental-health work are lost to jobs they could hold with pleasure and profit because the training program also require a two-year associate art degree.Obviously,society can and does manipulate job status.I hope that we can manipulate it in favor of the greatest number of people.More energy should be spent in trying to upgrade the dignity of all socially useful work and to eliminate the use of human beings for any work that proves to be truly destructive of the human spirit. Outlawing the use of degrees as prerequisites for virtually every job that our media portray as“better”should carry us a long step toward a healthier society.Among other things,there is far more evidence that work can make college meaningful than that college can make work meaningful.My concern about this degree/work cycle might be far less acute;however,if everyone caught up in the system were having a good time.But we seem to be generating a college population that oscillates between apathy and hostility.One of the major reasons for this joylessness in our university life is that the students see themselves as prisoners of economic necessity.They have bought the media message about better jobs,and so they do their time.But the promised land of“better”job is, on the one hand,not materializing,and on the other hand the students is by now socialized to find such“better”jobs distasteful even if they were to materialize.One of the major improvements that could result from the proposed legislation against degree requirements for employments would be a new stocktaking on the part of all our educational pulsory schools,for example,would understand that the basic skills for work and family life in our society would have to be compressed into those years of schooling.Colleges and universities,on the other hand,might be encouraged to be unrestricted,as continuous and as open as possible.They would be released from the pressures of ensuring economic survival through a practical curriculum.They might best be modeled after museums.Hours would be extensive,fees minimal,and services available to anyone ready to comply with course-by-course demands.College under these circumstances would have a clearly understood focus,which might well be the traditional one of serving as gathering place for those persons who want to search for philosophic and scientific“truths”.This proposal should help our universities rid themselves of some strange and gratuitous practices.For example,the university would no longer have to organize itself into hierarchical levels:B.A.,M.A.,PH.D.There would simply be courses of greater and lesser complexity in each of the disciplines.In this way graduate education might be more rationally understood and accepted for what it is——more education.The new freedom might also relieve colleges of the growing practice of instituting extensive“work programs,”“internships”and“independence study”programs.The very names of these enterprises are tacit admissions that the campus itself is not necessary for many genuinely educational experiences.But,along with “external degree”programs,they seem to pronounce that whatever one has learned in life by whatever diverse and interesting routes cannot be recognized as increasing one’s dignity,worth,usefulness or self-enjoyment until it is converted into degree credits.The legislation I propose would offer a more rational order of priorities.It would help recapture the genuine and variegated dignity of workplace along with the genuine and more specialized dignity of the university.It would help restore to people of all ages and inclinations a sense of their own basic worth and offer them as many roads as possible to reach Rome.Vocabulary1.What look like generous hire-purchase terms are fundamentally just encouragement to the customer to spend his very last

the main market for"mouthwashes," and if it disappeared the whole"deodorant"business would fall to the ground.中产阶级有另别于其他阶级的特征是他们一本正经的生活态度和缺乏安全感的精神状态,而不是他们的中等收入。

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are two reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You will decide on the best choice.Passage 1On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci: a French word meaning “thank you”).After World War II, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop, people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money.All the things were then taken to France by ship.By 1949, the French had begun to recover from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of themwere personal, like hand - made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted.Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.1.Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to _________.A. welcome the Merci TrainB. meet their familiesC. have a big partyD. start a trip by ship2.In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to _________.A. give away clothing and foodB. get more soldiers for the warC. collect things to help French peopleD. show exhibitions from the museums3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.A. the American peopleB. the French peopleC. the boxcarsD. the gifts4.The French people painted their 40 provinces and an American eagle on each boxcarbecause_________.A. they thought France was stronger than AmericaB. it could show the friendship between the two countriesC. the boxcars would be more beautifulD. they were very good at painting pictures5.The passage is mainly about _________.A. the story of the Merci TrainB.

By telling old stories6.D7.B8.B9.A 10.CPassage 3As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders o ut of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.11. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none12. _________ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC. Moving curtains and windD. Strange sights and sounds13. When she went to some other places, she would _________.A. walk away without othersB. take a bus by herselfC. follow others closelyD. make sure not to take a wrong bus14. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?A. She was usually popular among people.B. She was always the leader of the others.C. She always’ got poor grades.D. She was not at all liked by others.15. The underlined word “overcome” means “_________” in Chinese.A. 接受B. 忍受C. 信服D. 克服11.C 12.D 13.C 14.A 15.DPassage 4The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.16. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health17. The main reason for people not to drink too much energy drinks is that they may cause _____.A. heart problemsB. nervousnessC. sleeping difficultyD. possible health dangers18.

The frozen corpse was about five feet 11 and scientists who helicoptered to the site determined that it was 4,000 years old – the first 12 body ever found from the Bronze Age. Mummified by the wind and snow, he came 13 with sikn, bones, internal organs, and fingernails. He was 14 in leather shoes and finely stitched leather suit, insulted with hay. An array of weapons and equipment was found alongside him_ 15 a leather quiver with fourteen arrows, a stone necklace, a fire flint, a knife, and an ax with a crude bronze head.“The find is of 16 scientific meaning,”said Lonrad Spindler, professor of early and Primeval History at the University of Innsbruck, who is investigating the 17 . Skeletal remains of buried corpses have been excavated before in Bronze Age graves. But “the iceman,”as Austrian newspapers dubbed him, was going about the normal course of life when he died 18 the ages of 20 and 40, which means he should yield a reassure-trove of information about conditions 4,000 years ago. Scientists plans to 19 the contents of his stomach and intestine for clues to the Bronze Age diet, illnesses, and parasites. They also hoped to 20 the glacier site further for companions.11.

This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or beat home all day. For instance, mothers of families do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called “open”.

And we were staying in a government guest house which was sort of like a small hotel, but it wasn‟t a very fancy place. Anyway it was a very hot night. We wanted to have the windows open, but the problem was we had everything we owned right there in the room. The windows didn‟t have any screens or anything. So anybody could just come right in and steal our things. But if we shut the window, it would be impossible to sleep. It was way over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit or forty degrees centigrade. So we decided to put a lot of pots and pants like that under the window. Then if a thief came in, the pots and pans would fall down and we would wake up. That‟s what we did. Anyway, we were asleep.All of the sudden in the middle of the night, sure enough, I hear the pans crash. I sat up in bed. My heart was beating like anything. I could see that there was a man in a white robe standing up next to the bed. I tried to scream and I had laryngitis(喉炎) which mean my voice wasn‟t working. And I was screaming in the local language for help. It was like … help, help‟. But I couldn‟t scream. So the man came over and he shoved me down on the bed. Then he says in English “:be quiet.”Then I realized it was my husband, huh… And when I was able to speak, I asked, “what …re you doing?” He said, “ well, I had a headache and I wanted to get up and get some aspirins.26.

Directions:Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(每小题2分,共20分)Passage 1:If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy. We don't think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare. These things have become such an essential part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked upon.In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the World Wide Web. It will just bethere, an essential part of life. It will be a reflex to turn to the Web for shopping, education, entertainment and communication, just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone.There is an enormous interest in the Web. Yet it is still in its infancy (婴儿期). The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward. This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyday lives. Eventually, everyone’s business card will have an electronic mail address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business – from large to small –will be connected.To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic. We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. Probably before.1. What is implied in Paragraph 1?A. Only mad people would ask questions about telephones, TV sets and cars.B. We don't usually ask people why they use the telephone, television and car.C. Today televisions and cars are no longer as important as they used to be.D. In some places, telephones, televisions and cars are still rare things.2. According to the text, in ten years' time the Web will.A. have become part of people’s everyday lifeB. be as cheap as the telephone of todayC. have lost its interest to peopleD. no longer be an infant3. The word “reflex” in Paragr aph 2 probably means.A. automatic, unthinking actB. something one is thinking overC. reflection of other people's opinionD. turning from the source4. Technology for the Web.A. has passed its infancyB. is developing at a very rapid rateC. has naturally moved more people togetherD. is responding to the challenge of the world5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?.A. The development of the Web has just started.B. It will probably take less than ten years for the Web to become common.C. Eventually the Web will be able to link all businesses together.D. We are usually too optimistic when we talk about what we can do in ten yearsC A A B DPassage 2Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their b odies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously.Manufacturers have discovered by experience that sugar sells. Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.1. Our preferences for certain colors are _______ according to the passage.A. associated with the time of the dayB. dependent on our personalitiesC. are linked with our ancestorsD. partly due to psychological factors2. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?A. They breathe faster.B. They feel satisfied.C. Their blood pressure rises.D. Their hearts beat faster.3. Which of the following statements if NOT true according to the passage?A. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.B. Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.C. People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.D. The psychology of color is of some practical use.4. Which of the following statements if TRUE according to the passage?A. Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.B. Dark blue bring people the feeling of being energetic.C. Primitive people associated heat and anger with red.D. Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.5. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?A. The Branch of Color PsychologyB. Color and Its MeaningsC. The Practical Use of Color PsychologyD. Color and Feelings.A B B C DPassage 3:Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wantswere satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction - the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body – this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level.A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime. And prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages and our fully the good things on the first four levels.1. According to the passage; man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _____.A) he has saved up enough moneyB) he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC) he has satisfied his hungerD) he has learned to build houses2.

The author is inclined to think that a fifth level_____.A) would be little than the fourth levelB) may be a lot more desirable than the firs fourC) can be the last and most satisfying levelD) will become attainable provided the government takes actionsC D A B BPassage Four:Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in any original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that. 1.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant. then another drive-in. But intheir new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.Today McDonald's is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to orderfifteen-cent hamburgers.

As used in the second sentence of the third paragraph, the word "unique" means .A. specialB. attractiveC. financialD. peculiarB B D A APassage SixFaces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child - or even an animal, such as a pigeon - can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone' 5 personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts , speaks , thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone' 5 personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like , you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person ," you might begin to think about someone who was kind , considerate , friendly , warm , and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people' s behavior.And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types - people are described with such terms.People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the heroes. In fact, the words "person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.1. The main idea of this passage is_____.A. how to distinguish people' s facesB. how to describe people' s personalityC. how to distinguish people both inward and outwardD. how to differ good persons from bad persons2. Why do actors in early Greek drama wore masks?______.A. To show whether they are good or badB. To play wellC. To act their rolesD. To tell the audience stories3. Which of the following is NOT true?A.

The reason why it is easier to describe a person' s personality in words than his faceis that________.A. a person' s face is more complex than his personalityB. a person' s personality is easily distinguishedC. people' s personalities are very alikeD. many words are available when people try to describe one' s personality5. We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type accordingTo______.A. his way of acting and thinkingB. his way of speaking and behavingC. his learning and behaviorD. his physical appearance and his personalityC AD D DIV.
