Just after the Second World War these big, twenty-to-thirty storey buildings, hundreds of feet in height, were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem. For on the one hand, there was severe housing shortage, but on theother hand, there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas. Blocks of “high-rise” flats seemed, at first, to be able to solve the problem, since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land. The beautiful, modern apartments inthe high-rises were much sought after by people who lived downtown. Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in? A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal. Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too.1. There was a big housing problem after the Second World War __C____.a. in Londonb. in the rural areasc. in many big citiesd. in many countries2. Blocks of “high-rise”flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem, because ___D___.a. there was severe house shortage in big citiesb. there was less and less land to build houses in big citiesc. they were modern and beautiful and much sought after by city peopled. they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people3. The sentence “Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not.” means __A____.a. it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, people began to doubtabout whether they were good solutions or notb. hundreds of the vast blocks had not been built until anyone began to doubt aboutwhether they were good solutions or notc. people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not beforehundreds of the vast blocks had been builtd. before hundreds of the vast blocks had been built, some people began to doubtabout whether they were good solutions or not4. The author takes a well-known British architect as an example to show us that____B__.a. he is very proud of his designing of many of the high-risesb. even a well-known designer of the high-rises believes they are no good forpeoplec. even a well-known designer of the high-rises suffers personallyd. high-rises are well-designed, modern buildings which meet people’s needs5. What is the greatest danger for people living in a high-rise according to someexperts?Ca. Lack of communication with others.b. No easy access to a playground for children.c. Developing criminal tendencies.d. Not knowing the neighbors.Passage TwoAmong the more interesting things to observe as you travel the world are the ways in which people conduct themselves at parties. In some countries men and women move to opposite ends of the room and talk to one another; in others they sit in large chairs around the edge of the room and talk only to the people on either side of them, or silently eat and observe the scene.As you would imagine, Americans move about a great deal at parties. At small gatherings they may sit down, but as soon as there are more people than chairs in the room –or better yet, a little before this point –you would see first one and then another make some excuses to get to his feet (to fetch a drink or greet a friend or open a window) until soon everyone is standing, moving around, chatting with one group and then another. Sitting becomes inactive beyond a certain point. We expect people to move about and be “self-starters.”It is quite normal for Americans to introduce themselves and their companions. If this happens, you are expected to reply by giving your name and introducing the person with you. After such an informal introduction, you talk together for a little while, here come those questions: “Are you new here?”“How long have you been in America?”Within a moment or two, you will have struck some common ground, conversation will move along for a while, and then either couple can feel free to say something informal like: “Well, it’s been nice to meet you” or “I hope we see you again soon.” This is the signal for both couples to say their good-byes and move off to another group.The basic rule at big parties is: don’t stay in one place for too long. Pick out people you think look interesting, then go to talk to them. Women should not gather themselves in a group with each other or hide themselves away in a corner. They too should move around the room either with their husbands, or with friends or alone, whichever they prefer, unless they are strategically located (and attractive!) so that people keep coming up to them. The point of a party in this country is to meet and talk with people; the fact that you are all there together under your host’s roof is in itself a form of introduction in our view. As a result anyone can feel free to talk to anyone else.6. The possible title for this passage might be __C____.a. Parties in the Worldb. Differences of Parties in Different Countriesc. Parties in Americad. A Party I Attend in America7. According to the author, the major difference between an American party and that in other countries lies in the fact that__A____.a. Americans move about a great deal at partiesb. Americans never sit down at partiesc. women usually come with their husbands to a partyd. women and men talk in different groups8. Americans expect ___D___ at a party.a. people to stop talking and observe the sceneb. women to move around alone to attract peoplec. people to find some excuses to stand upd. to introduce themselves and feel free to talk9. In the second paragraph, the sentence “…you will have struck some common ground” means you will have __D____.a. struck together the ground that both of you are standing onb. met each other so unexpectedly that you hit each other to the groundc. shaken hands and touched each other as ordinary people usually dod. talked about something that both of you are interested in and like to talk about10. If a lady is strategically located in a party, then, which of the following sentencesis not true?Ba. She is not moving around any more.b. She must be alone, hiding herself in a corner.c. She must be very attractive.d. People will continuously go to her place.Passage Three“Are you the happiest man in the world?” When asked this question, most people would say no. They don’t think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than any one of them, “Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don’t think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.”Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier –a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes (糖尿病) – the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life. This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people’s lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.”It is hard for us to give up the image of “being perfect”. As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.11. According to the author, most people would _D_____ they are the happiest in theworld.a. doubt whetherb. like to think thatc. think about whetherd. not think that12. The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with __C____.a. a close friendb. a relativec. anyone we think is happierd. someone we even hardly know13. What is not true about the young man the author once met with?Ba. He is a TV talk show host.b. Everything goes effortlessly right for him.c. He loves his wife and their daughters.d. He is very happy with his work and his life.14. After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes ___A___.a. that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter’s lifeb. how grateful the young man is for the existence of the Internetc. how terribly the young man’s wife suffer from the disease – diabetesd. that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet15. The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that __D___.a. it is hard for us to give up the image of “being perfect”b. unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest faultc. we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happyd. true happiness lies in struggling to be happyPassage FourIt is natural to young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they created a culture and a society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’twin but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parent, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.16. The author is primarily addressing __D___.a.parents of teenagersb.newspaper readersc.those who give advice to teenagersd.teenagers17. The first paragraph is mainly about ___A__.a.the teenagers’ criticism of their parentsb.misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsc.the dominance of the patents over their childrend.the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises18. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they __A___.a.want to show their existence by creating a culture of their ownb.have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tastec.have no other way to enjoy themselves betterd.want to irritate their parents19. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they__D___.a.have already been accepted into adult worldb.feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsc.are not likely to win over the adultsd.have a desire to be independent20.To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be __B___.a. obedientb. co-operativec. responsibled. independentPart V ClozeIf this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The 1 to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a 2 , unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are 3 of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of 4 to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious 5 in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and 6 luck. Those people offend many others,nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or 7 , nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone speak a word to 8 their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will 9 or excuse them. These people should change this bad habit. If they do not, it will be good for others to 10 any contact with them.C1 a. intention b. intent c. tendency d. trendB2 a. hobby b. habit c. practice d. approachC3 a. proved b. told c. convinced d. orderedC4 a. goodness b. serve c. servant d. serviceA5 a. effects b. results c. efficiency d. affectB6 a. good b. bad c. some d. littleA7 a. fortune b. future c. possession d. valueA8 a. favor b. hurt c. help d. giveA9 a. defend b. defeat c. disclose d. helpC10 a. prevent b. keep c. avoid d. continuePart VI Translation1.

Indeed, undue priority to speed will, more often than not, lead to undesirable consequences.Life is filled with examples. A good case in point is in house building. In order tobuild more houses some construction units ignore quality, so there have emerged many poor quality buildings, which are as weak as bean curd, as criticized by Premier Zhu Rongji. Another good illustration is in English study. Some students, instead of hard work, concentrate on doing a lot of so-called simulated test exercises. They expect to get good grades on tests but the result is usually contrary to what they hope for.In short, laying a solid foundation is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. At every step, to review what has been achieved and assess the problems ahead before moving to the next step is certainly a good approach.套路六：1．描述图表2．引起变化的原因3．结论作⽂：Changes in People’s Diet in ChinaThe table shows significant changes in the diet of the Chinese people between 1986 and 1990. Grain, which used to be the main food of most people in china, is now playing a less important role. On the other hand, the consumption of high-nutrition food, such as milk, meat, chicken, fish, has increased rapidly.The changes in diet can be accounted for by a number of factors. One factor is that people are much wealthier than before. With higher income, people can afford to buy good foods. The fact that people have realized the importance of a balanced diet to their health can be another factor because lack of certain amount of meat or milk, for example, will result in poor health. A further factor is due to the economic reform, meat, chicken, fish, and milk, which were scarce in the past, are produced in large quantities. For all these reasons, what was formerly called “the basket of vegetables ” has now become that of varied foods.The changes in diet indicate the significant social improvement. They are also the evidence of the improved economic conditions in china. If this trend continues, there will be greater changes in people’s diet in the future.。
