A：whatB：whileC：thatD：when正确答案：DDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneBefore the conference began, a Japanese businessman was introduced to an American businessman at the lounge. The Japanese man, arms extending downwards from his shoulders, bowed from his waist toward the American businessman to whom he was just introduced. His eyes were directed ahead his face showed no particular expression.The American businessman stood straight. His eyes focused on the Japanese man’s eyes. He smiled and put out his right hand.Both men smiled briefly in embarrassment. The Japanese man straightened up and put out his right hand. The American withdrew his hand and bowed his head. A broader smile of embarrassment, and some noise from each man——not really words, just some sounds from their throats——indicating discomfort. They were in the course of a conflict of customs: they had different habits for greeting people they were being introduced to.When people are planning to go to another country, they expect to encounter certain kinds of differences. They usually expect the weather and the food to be different. They expect to find differences in some of the material aspects of life, such as the availability of cars, electricity, and home heating systems. And, without knowing the details, they expect differences in customs. Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations. American men, for example, shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow.36.【单选题】When introduced to a Japanese businessman, the American businessman put out his right hand because .A：he felt a little bit nervousB：he wanted to express his discomfortC：he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD：he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man正确答案：D37.【单选题】The two businessmen behaved different because .A：They followed their own greeting customsB：they were not used to the strange atmosphereC：they couldn’t speak each other’s languageD：They had never met each other before正确答案：A38.【单选题】Paragraph 4 tell us that when visiting a foreign country, .A：it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB：it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC：people often expect to meet differences in customsD：people expect the same kind of food and weather正确答案：C39.【单选题】This passage is mainly about .A：cultural invasionB：the understanding of customsC：business talksD：differences in handshakes正确答案：BPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos, or goes to the movies. The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year’s attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and answer period following each talk. Autograph(亲笔签名) seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign food, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their own sandwichesand drinks.People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. “This is our sixth year here now. We love it,” said the husband. “It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.”The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angles residents welcome one?” “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable,” said one of the festival founders.40.【单选题】The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that .A：city libraries have a very limited number of readersB：only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC：city libraries provide fewer places for car washesD：city libraries have fewer parking places正确答案：A41.【单选题】The outdoor book festival attracts .A：autograph seekers and authors onlyB：people with different interestsC：people who love Los AngelesD：people who like cooking正确答案：B42.【单选题】At the very beginning, people were about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A：confidentB：pessimisticC：uncertainD：indifferent正确答案：C43.【单选题】The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that .A：book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB：Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC：people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD：libraries should have food courts to attract more readers正确答案：APassage TwoMr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. He’s looking for the one who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any students who “disrespects a female,” said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the school’s academic jewels, but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’s teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.44.【单选题】In Mr. Leonard’s school, most of the students who don’t have to pay for lunch .A：are adopted childrenB：are parentlessC：are homelessD：have a single parent正确答案：D45.【单选题】What can be a good indication of the Bedford School’s success?A：63 percent of its students go on to college.B：A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C：All the graduates from the school go on to college.D：The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School 正确答案：C46.【单选题】What does Mr. Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A：The highest scoresB：The best behaviorC：Respectfulness and disciplineD：Willingness to learn by themselves正确答案：C47.【单选题】The school insists that students should .A：leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB：attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC：do their homework to review what they have learnedD：come to the school on Sundays正确答案：BPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly?Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见). Dr. Robert Alberti, author of Stand up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence. “Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves,” says Alberti, “There’s always a ‘superior’ around---a parent, a teacher, a boss---who ‘knows better’. These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image.”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “assertiveness training” courses---AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive---the need to share. The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more “important” than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person’s label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.48.【单选题】People are reluctant to talk back because .A：they have a poor self-imageB：they have not received AT coursesC：they have not grasped communication skillsD：they are not generous enough to share things正确答案：A49.【单选题】According to Dr. Alberti, our organization is constructed to .A：get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB：keep people as knowledgeable as their ‘superiors’C：train people’s capacity to speak up for their rightsD：make things more favorable for ‘superiors’正确答案：D50.【单选题】One of the objectives of AT courses is to .A：train people to trust othersB：encourage people to share their thoughtsC：tell people of their right to be ‘superiors’D：help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves正确答案：D51.【单选题】Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A：Protect YourselfB：Try to Speak OutC：Share Your OpinionD：Face Your Superior正确答案：BPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section. Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete smart plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse. The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speed, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, thus saving many lives and millions of dollars.In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can before it starts to drop and how fast it can climb.52.【单选题】Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others becauseA：they are used for large planesB：they can produce a stronger windC：they are built to conduct a high-speed testD：the air in them flows at a lower speed正确答案：D53.【单选题】The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that .A：it costs a lot to test a planeB：the wings are not good enoughC：some problems are found with a planeD：the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel正确答案：B54.【单选题】As mentioned in the last paragraph, a wind tunnel can be used to find out .A：how fast a plane can riseB：how smooth a plane’s surface isC：how a plane lands in a strong windD：how a plane drop at a low height正确答案：A55.【单选题】What can we learn from the passage?A：It is very expensive to build a wind tunnelB：Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planesC：Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnelsD：There are new ways to feed air to the test section正确答案：BA.

成人英语三级模拟试题三（1）

Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers (消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most -people with rising incomes, Stable incomes, or decreasing incomes -he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually years 1947- 1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expresser by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months," she said, "we'll have pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things. "Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer's resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment: "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high." The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(⼼理学). 1. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way spend their money, he should _______ A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending B. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money C. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and get data on consumers incomes and money spending motives D. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory. 2. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with ________ incomes borrow most. A. average B. stable C. decreasing D. rising 3.According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that _________ A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things B. rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain things C. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than men D. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry. 4. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article _________ A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in America B. concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stable C. concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business policy D. does not draw any conclusion 5. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in the passage? A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease. B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable. Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: The young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know. No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "Village life" is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What "village life" meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp -oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long - established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make "village life" and "town life" almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high - level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life. " It is just life, and that a better life. Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid - morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street. 6. By saying that village is not dead, but "village life" is dead, the writer suggests that _________ A. those young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are wrong B the two statements are against each other C. "village life" today is rather uninteresting D. "village life" today is no longer like what is used to be. 7. It was _________ that "village life" began to take a sharp turn. A. about a century ago B. during the two world wars C. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village D. only recently 8. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________ A. lived a simpler life than villagers today B. knew fewer people than villagers today. C. found it difficult to enjoy themselves D. liked to wash themselves with cold water. 9. The expression ".... " There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3 means that _________ A. there is no end to the talking about.... B. It is harmful to talk about…. C. It is not meaningless to talk about.... D. there is no reason for talking about 10. From the passage we can see that the writer's attitude toward "village life" is __________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclear Passage 3 The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market. In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot. Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations. 11. In making market investigation , one should_________. A. get enough information concerned B. advertise his products C. produce high quality goods D. none of the above 12. The word "indispensable" in the first line means_________.A. impossibleB. essentialC. advisableD. available 13 Which of the following statements is not true? A. The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth. B. It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation. C. There are various ways of making market investigation. D. Production goes before market investigation. 14. Making market investigation is very important because_________.A. in market, goods on sale are numerousB. every producer is facing keen competitionC. it can greatly promote salesD. all of the above 15. All the following are channels to get market information except _________.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Normally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded and available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activities in student affairs. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.第1题Normally a student would at least attend ______classes each week.A.36B.20C.12D.15第2题According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed______.A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities第3题American university students are usually under pressure of work because______.A.their academic performance will affect their future careersB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they have to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority第4题Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because______. A.they hate the constant pressure strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid第5题The student organizations seem to be effective in______.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students´ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students´ enthusiasm for social activities下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.It seems like every day there´s some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us. One day, science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not. It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee. Now, there´s been a lot of research into whether coffee is good for our health. "The results have really been mixed," admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently. "There´s been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there´s also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well."Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health. They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study. "We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than those no-drinkers," he said. Here´s what he means by "modestly" : those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study. When the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease, lung disease, injuries, accidents and infections.Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn´t prove coffee can make people live longer. A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.第6题According to the first paragraph, reporters would like to, know the research findings of______.A.teaB.beerC.alcoholD.coffee第7题According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A.Freedman and his colleagues hired 400,000 Americans to collect data.B.About four hundred thousand Americans worked for Freedman´s team full time for 13 years.C.People who took part in Freedman´s research are about 50 to 70 years old.D.People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink coffee.第8题According to the author, scientists______.A.have already proved that coffee is good for human healthB.have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffeeC.have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffeeD.are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us第9题The word "mixed" in the first paragraph means "______".A.both good and badB.put togetherC.both sharp and softD.confuted第10题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Can Beer Help You Live Longer?B.Can Coffee Help You Live Longer?C.Can Wine Help You Live Longer?D.Can Tea Help You Live Longer?上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don´t take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the reader´s interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. However, they may just read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements.It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get the news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?According to the writer, newspapers are______.A.more popular todayB.less popular todayC.as popular as beforeD.getting more and more popular第12题Editors think the important part of the paper is______.A.the headlinesB.the sports pageC.the front pageD.the classified advertisements第13题According to the article, most people read all of the following except______.A.the real newsB.the sports pageicsD.advertisements第14题Today more people get news from______.A.newspapersB.radioC.televisionD.both A and B第15题A lot of newspaper readers do not even read the front page anymore because______.A.they don´t have timeB.they are lazyC.the front page is not attractive enoughD.the headlines are too horrible and frightening上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The annual campaign to make Singapore´s three million people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual.Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and the National Punctuality Working Committee can only use gentle persuasion. "Being on time means being considerate," said committee chairman Toh Weng Cheng. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rooted habit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardiness at dinner parties is usually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older and more important guests were expected to make an entrance afterMeanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy campaign, a HK $ 2. 4 million drive to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners. Earlier courtesy campaigns used posters, films, advertisements in newspapers and magazines to portray considerate behavior. The publicity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate public campaigns to change behavior and raise civic consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore for more than 30 years. Some, like the courtesy drive, deal with basic habits and culture.October was first declared "Speak Mandarin Month" in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in favor of the official tongue.Others focus on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of the emergency phone number 999, because one call in five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety. Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parents to "Stop at Two" in 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3. 5 percent in 1960 to 1.2 percent in 1980, and families who can afford it are now encouraged to "Have Three or More". By the early 1980s, the growth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a "take your campaigns seriously campaign".第16题In the passage, the word "tardiness" ( Line 1, Paragraph 2) most probably means______.A.punctualityB.impolitenessC.dishonestyteness第17题The courtesy drive was launched in Singapore to______.A.develop appropriate personal habitsB.stress the importance of punctualityC.make the people more politeD.urge the officials to be on time第18题When did the campaign to standardize spoken language begin?A.In 1960.B.In 1978.C.In 1980.D.In 1989.第19题Which of the following is NOT true?A.Singapore has always been a highly efficient country in every way.B.The campaigns are not always very effective in Singapore.C.Singapore does its best to make its people more polite.D.Not all the campaigns are launched every year.第20题Which of the following statements is not directly said but implied in the passage?A.All the campaigns are to improve people´s behavior.B.There are too many campaigns in Singapore.C.The more campaigns, the more efficient they are.D.Almost all campaigns in Singapore don´t amount to anything.上一题下一题 Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Languages are marvelously complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture: they embody the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” A culture and its languages are as inseparable as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning is with the non-verbal linguistic elements of the language, its gestures, its body language. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English maxim has it, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.21. The best title for this passage is________.A. Organs of CultureB. Brain and BodyC. Seeing Eye-to-EyeD. Non-V erbal Linguistic Elements22. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is_____.A. to read the works of poets and philosophersB. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyesC. to begin by learning its body languageD. to visit a country where English is spoken23. According to this passage, gestures are __________.A. non-verbal as well as non-linguisticB. verbal and linguisticC. non-verbal but nevertheless linguisticD. verbal but nevertheless non-linguistic24. “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” means_____.A. “If one learns many foreign languages, one will have a better understanding of hisown language.”B. “Life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languages.”C. “No matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than one'sown culture.”D. “If a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life.”25. What does the author imply but not state in the passage?A.To learn a foreign language is to learn a culture.B. A language cannot function without its particular culture.C. S eeing eye to eye is the best beginning of contact.D.Eye contact is impossible for a foreign and a native English.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford was born in 1863 in the state of Michigan. He grew up on a farm but he did not want to become a farmer. He left school when he was sixteen. He wanted to make cars so he went to work as a mechanic.In 1896 Ford built his first car. This car was very different from the cars of today. For example, its wheels were bicycle wheels.In 1902 Ford built a car that won an important race. This car was the fastest car that had ever been built. It went seventy miles per hour. By then Ford had enough money to start the Ford Motor Company.At this time cars cost a lot of money. Only very rich people bought cars. Ford had a dream. He wanted to build a car that many people could afford. Ford was sure that, if people could afford cars, they would buy them. He said, "Everybody wants to be somewhe re he isn't.”Ford's plan was to make all his cars the same. Cars that are all the same take less time andless money to make. Then Ford could charge less money for these cars. In 1908 Ford produced his famous Model T Ford. The Model T sold for $ 850. This was much cheaper than other cars but still more than most people could pay.One day Ford visited a meat-packing factory. There he saw beef carcasses being moved from one worker to another. Each worker had a particular job to do when the beef carcasses reached him. Ford realized he could use this assembly line method to build cars.It took less than two hours to build a car on the assembly line. Before, it took fourteen hours. Ford was able to drop the price of the Model T to $ 265.Ford's dream had come true. The Model T was now a car that many people could afford. By 1927, when Ford stopped making the Model T, over 15 million of these cars had been sold.26. Henry Ford built _____________.A. the first car in AmericaB. the first bicycle in AmericaC. a car with bicycle wheelsD. the fastest car in 189627. Henry Ford's dream was ___________.A. to build a car many people would have enough money to buyB. to build a car people would be able to sell easilyC. to build a car that would win an important raceD. to build a car on the assembly line in a meat-packing factory28. Henry Ford started his own company__________.A. when he was a mechanicB. after he built his first carC. after his car won an important raceD. after he visited a meat-packing factory29. Ford first saw an assembly line ________.A. on a farm in MichiganB. at the Ford Motor CompanyC. when he worked as a mechanicD. at a meat-packing factory30. Ford then understood that the assembly line was .A. a good way only for meat-packingB. a good way to build modern carsC. a good way to sell cheap carsD. not good enough for car workersPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Would you quit your Job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallup Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Y et researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979 Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1987—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a50-foot cabin cruiser（游艇）and a house in Hawaii, and busied himself vacationing. But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992 he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets (资产负债表) and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office," he says.A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H. Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won. If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Y et studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert. Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding, no matter how lucrative it becomes.31. The reason why W. Berry Fowler sold out and retired in 1987 was most probablythat___________.A. he considered his work too boring for him to bear any longerB. he was eager to spend his days on the golf courseC. he had become rich enough to enjoy the rest of his life without having to workD. he was too old to work in a tutoring company32. Studies show that ____________.A. people seldom work once they become millionairesB. people derive great satisfaction from the challenges of workC. people are bound to be happy if they receive a high salaryD. people regard difficult work as undesirable33. The word immersed (Para. 3), could best be replaced by __________.A. completely covered B totally exhaustedC. thoroughly soakedD. deeply absorbed34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Fowler found working more enjoyable than vacationing.B. Less than half of the lottery millionaires missed the challenges of work.C. 30 percent of Americans disregarded salary size as important.D. Most people value their pay above anything else.35. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. quitting work is a reflection of the fundamental human urge to be freeB. lucrative（获利多的）work is the only source of human satisfactionC. conquering tough work is a satisfying experienceD. seemingly rewarding work will never be lucrativePassage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the V rain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed in mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them becaus e of this.” One parent said. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will.”Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的，不负债的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for them to solve this problem.The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happeni ng like this at this level.” said State Treasure Mike Coffman.Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of 38 schools. At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“We employ thousands of peopl e in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed.”said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”36. What has happened to the V rain School District?A. A huge financial problem has arisen.B. Many schools there are mismanagedC. Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quitD. Many administrative personnel have been laid off.37. How did the residents in the V rain School District respond to the budget shortage?A. They felt somewhat helpless about itB. They accused those responsible for itC. They polled their efforts to help solve it.D. They demanded a thorough investigation.38. In the view of State Treasure Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is___________.A. unavoidableB. unthinkableC. insolvableD. irreversible39. Why did Coffman request an investigation?A. To see if there was a deliberate cover-up of the problem.B. To find out the extent of the consequences of the case.C. To make sure that the school principals were innocent.D. To stop the voters approving the $212 million bond issue.40. Three high school students started a website in order to ___________.A. attract greater public attention to their needsB. appeal to the public for contributions and donationsC. expose officials who neglected their dutiesD. keep people properly informed of the crisisPartⅢCloze (15 minutes 10%)Directions:In this part there is a passage with 20 blanks in it.

Passage 2 Acting is such an over—crowded profession that the
only advice that should be give to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't !"But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. (77)The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company , usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery , publicity ( 宣传 ) , taking care of the costumes , and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed , the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.More than half of the world’s population live in cities. Traffic and pollution are becoming big problems in big cities all over the world. In cities like Mexico City, Shanghai or Cairo the quality of air is getting worse every day. In the United States, people spend more time sitting in traffic jams.Some of the world’s cities have already found the answer to the problem. In Bogota, the capital of Columbia, the government has taken measures to improve the quality of life for the city’s 8 million people.They created over a thousand new parks, a new public transport system, and built hundreds of cycling and walking paths. People who live in the city also joined in making their city one of the most livable places in South America.Today city planners around the world are looking for ways to provide more room for living and less room for cars. In America, publictransport has increased over 2 % since the mid 1990s — not much but a start. More and more people leave their cars at home and get on buses, trains or even ride a bike to work. Some cities are far better at planning than others. In Amsterdam, for example, only 40 % of the population use their cars to get to work, 35 % ride bikes while 25% use public transport. In Paris, about half of the city’s workers drivetheir cars to work.For cities in developing countries, the problems have just started. Traffic is getting worse as more and more people can afford to buy a car.11. The writer listed Mexico City, Shanghai and Cairo as examples of cities of ______.A) heavy traffic B) air pollutionC) rapid development D) large population12. What does the sentence “people spend more time sitting in traffic jams.” mean?A) Time-consuming on road is longer than ever before.B) More time is spent in cars than other daily routine.C) People spend more time sitting in cars than out-of car activities.D) traffic jams will be getting worse in the future.13. What did Bogota do to improve the quality of life for its people?A) It shut down some factories in the city.B) It introduced a foreign public transport system.C) It encouraged people to plant trees in the city.D) It built new parks and a new public transport system.14. From the third paragraph, we can learn that _______.A) 35% of the population in Paris ride bikes to workB) half of the people in Amsterdam drive their cars to workC) a quarter of the people in Amsterdam use public transportD) American public transport has increased much since the 1990s15. What would be the best title of the text?A) Ways to solve traffic jamsB) New changes in transport systemsC) People’s new choice in big citiesD) Parks instead of cars for citiesPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Stepfamilies are commonplace in the United States and their number continues to grow. While stepfamilies differ widely in their make-up, they all consist of a parenting couple and children, one or more of whom is of a previous union. Such combinations of his kids, her kids, and then, possibly, kids of the new union make for complicated and often trying difficulties, more challenging than those of traditional families.Since stepfamilies involve more people and, consequently, more potential problems from the start than do childless new marriage, it is wise for the couple to do some careful planning prior to marriage. Not only do the prospective (预期的) marital partners need agreement about their own carriers, life goals, finance and special interests, they must also prepare for new relationship with their children and attempt to accommodate their individual needs and feelings. Furthermore， there are often the rights of other relatives to consider.As for any family, the basic ingredients (成分) of a successful stepfamily are affection, kindness and mutual respect. However, love alone is not enough. Certainly love is the cornerstone upon which the foundation of any family is built, but there are also many other important ingredients involved in building a successful stepfamily.Surveys reveal that successful families regard the ability to communicate openly as the most important factor in their success. Communication is what keeps families on track and functioning as a unit. Although healthy communication is easier for some people than for others， this skill can be learned and improved. Healthy communication involves speaking clearly and listening carefully.Planning and building a stepfamily is not a responsibility to take lightly. It can be a very trying and, at times, seemingly impossibleeffort. Many potential troubles can arise and threaten to destroy the stepfamily. Nevertheless, meeting and mastering these special challenges can bring unexpected satisfactions and rewarding depths of family closeness and affection.16. According to the passage, there are _______ in the United States.A) more stepfamilies than the regular familiesB) more stepfamilies than ever beforeC) fewer stepfamilies than ever beforeD) fewer stepfamilies than traditional ones17. Which of the following can help avoid the potential problems arising in a stepfamilyA) The pursuit of the same careers.B) Professional interventions.C) The development of special interests.D) Careful planning before the marriage.18. Many people believe that ______ contributes most to the building of a successful stepfamily.A) everlasting loyalties B) open communicationC) kindness and mutual respect D) persistent affection19. It is natural for a stepfamily to be _______.A) complicated B) unrealisticC) ambitious D) guilty20. According to the author, planning and building a stepfamily is______.A) challenging and impossible B) satisfying and rewardingC) discouraging and frustrating D) a difficult and trying experiencePassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop in well-being, researchers assumed. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed though it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology itself; it’s about how it is used.” says psychologist Christine Riley or Intel, one of the study’s sponsors （发起人）. “It really points tothe need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”21. It can be learned from the passage that ________.A) people use the Internet less frequently than beforeB) people having bad feelings spend more time on the InternetC) the Internet makes its users psychologically healthyD) Internet use may cause its users’ depression22. The fact that the Internet proved less socially healthy than television ________.A) was a puzzle the researchers had solved B) was what the researchers had expectedC) went against the researchers’ expectation D) was well understood by the researchers23. According to the passage one of the possible reasons why Internetuse leads to a decline in its users’ well-being is that ________.A) people can’t establish lasting relationships with others on theInternetB) Internet users spend less time with their friends and familiesC) Internet users can’t get satisfaction from the InternetD) the Internet prevents its users from communicating with theirfamilies24. In the last paragraph Christine Riley points out that as to thedecline in Internet users’ well-being, ________.A) it is no fault of the technology itselfB) the Net itself should take responsibility for itC) the technology itself should be held responsibleD) the blame lies with Internet users25. It is suggested in discussing problems caused by Internet use that_______.A) a wider range of services should be made availableB) Internet users should spend less time on the InternetC) social factors should be considered in devising applications fortechnologyD) Internet users should have more conversation with their friendsPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable, nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, andit is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factors.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods, but are not necessarily happier adults.The best formula (准则) for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble), to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.26. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) happiness is neither predictable nor apparentB) a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC) the rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income groupD) happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in society27. According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon _______.A) a happy childhood in which one can do whatever he likesB) great wealth with which one can buy anythingC) a feeling that conditions are becoming for the betterD) a college degree that can help one achieve great success28. The letters AQ in the last paragraph most probably mean _______.A) ambition to defeat others in a severe competitionB) ability to overcome difficulty and get out of embarrassing situationC) methods of solving difficult problems and challenges in lifeD) attitudes towards severe competition especially in trouble29. The passage mainly talks about ________.A) the formula for happinessB) high income and happinessC) the factors that contribute to happinessD) the contribution happy people make to society30. The best title of this passage may be _______.A) What Does Happiness Consist inB) Happiness and UnhappinessC) Different Kinds of HappinessD) Causes of Happiness and UnhappinessPart III Vocabulary and Structure(25 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.31.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneFinding fresh drinking water was not a problem in the Roman Empire. The ancient Romans built aqueducts (from the Latin words aqua, meaning "water," and ductus, meaning "channel"). The pipes and channels wound down hills and valleys, transporting freshwater from remote lakes and streams to cities. Engineers designed each aqueduct so that water would drop precisely 24 feet per mile. A steeper slope would bring too much water too quickly. Less of a slope would cause the water to stagnate. Stone bridges with multiple arches were built to support aqueducts where the land dipped too sharply. Many of the bridges can still be found in Europe. At the Roman Empire's peak in the first and second centuries, nearly 200 cities had water supplied by aqueducts.Rome, the empire's capital, had 11 aqueducts for its estimated 1 million people. When the water reached Rome, it flowed into large containers, or tanks, on high ground. From there, it was distributed through pipes to different areas of the city. Some water was sold to rich citizens for their private use; some went to supply large public baths; the rest went to public fountains, located at crossroads throughout Rome that were never more than 109 yards apart. Experts say that each citizen of Rome could have used an average of 265 gallons of fresh, clean water per day — more than what's available in some cities today.16.

The trip was a result of the generosity of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the nation’s largest wish granting organization for children with life threatening illnesses.Kaleb Carr, 3, has cancer in the retina of the eye. After six months of treatment, he is considered stable. One tumor is now dead cells and the other is a large mass and doctors aren't sure if it is active or not, said Kaleb's mother, Holly Carr.The family enjoyed their first vacation and thus had a week of freedom from visits to the doctor and worry. “They take you step by step through things so you can be worry and carefree and just concentrate on having fun with the family,” said Holly.The vacation included a three-day pass to Disney World, two days at Universal Studios, a day pass to Sea World, lodging and free food from restaurants at Give Kids the World Village, a resort for wish organizations. It also included VIP status at the parks which meant the Carrs didn't have to wait in lines."We are having a blast," said Holly last week from her cell phone. "They saw dolphins this morning and Kaleb got to feed the dolphins." Holly said the village where they stayed is a fantastic recreation of the children's Candy Land game with events every morning and night after park activities.21.

Get a few drops under the case, and that horrible little wetness indicator next to the battery goes red. Next thing you know, your phone doesn't work, and your carrier won't replace it. So bringing your phone to the beach can be a bad idea. The good news is that there are three types of cell phones built specifically for active fun.The Casio Exilim C721 on Verizon Wireless is the ultimate summer phone. That is because it also doubles as a waterproof, 5-megapixel camera—so you can leave your old digital camera at home, too. The Exilim is covered by a protective coating so you can shoot underwater. It's also proven as being against shock. If you spend a lot of time at the beach, this phone will be your best friend.Outdoors sportsmen should consider the unlocked Sonim XP3.20 Quest, which is the world's toughest phone--a claim I have tested. It can be tossed around violently, frozen, put into water, hit with a chisel, and used to hammer nails. Even if it does break, it comes with a no-questions-asked replacement promise.The Nextel i580 is the way to go if you're worried about durability. Bear in mind: It isn't waterproof, it's water-resistant--it'll survive a quick dunk or splash, but you can't submerge it. In my tests, it survived freezing, washing, dropping from a second-story window, and getting runover by a sports car. The i580 also has great call quality and a built-in MP3 player.26. According to the author, why is bringing your phone to the beach a bad idea?A. Because your carrier does not permit the use of cell phones at the beach.B. Because cell phones would not work if there is water inside.C. Because the wetness indicator would go red at the beach.D. Because few people bring their cell phones to the beach.27. What makes the Casio Exilim C721 the ultimate summer phone?A. Its stylish design.B. Its protective coating.C. Its resistance to shock.D. Its waterproof, 5-megapixel camera.28. What would happen if you want to replace your broken Sonim XP 3.10?A. It would be replaced without question.B. It would be replaced by a locked XP 3.10.C. You would be questioned about how you broke it.D. You have to pay a minimum amount of fees for repairing it.29. What qualities does the Nextel i580 have?A. It can be submerged, frozen and washed.B. It can be submerged, washed, and run over by a sports car.C. It can be frozen, washed, and dropped from a second-story window.D. It can be submerged, frozen and dropped from a second-story window.30. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain how cell phones workB. introduce three types of cell phonesC. discuss the fun of using mobile phonesD. describe the harm of water to cell phonesPassage FourLaughter brings a range of health benefits into your daily life. Laughing boosts your immune system. Just look at the work of Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University in California. Berk doesn't tell jokes beside patients’ beds, but he does research humor. He has shown that laughing can lead to an increase in antibodies and other cells that fight viruses.Other studies show that laughter might be helpful for people in hospitals. An organization called Rx Laughter carried out a study about humor in the hospital. The results suggest that laughter might help children deal with painful medical treatments.The study involved children between the ages of 8 and 14. The kids placed their hands in cold water for as long as they could while watching funny old TV shows, such as I Love Lucy. Guess what happened? The kids were able to withstand pain for a longer period of time when they were watching a funny video than when watching no video. Those who laughed more felt less pain."This means that humor can keep you away from thinking about a painful process and thus make it seem less painful," says Dr. Margaret Stuber, the main researcher for the study. She works at the University of California at Los Angeles. As Stuber also points out, humor may even be good for your emotional health because physical and emotional health are connected. "If you can say to yourself that a medical treatment wasn't as bad as you thought it would be, then you're less likely to have nightmares, fears about going to the doctor, and other related anxieties," she says.31. According to Dr. Lee Berk, laughing benefits us because __________.A. it makes us more humorousB. it helps us feel more relaxedC. it helps us deal with painful medical treatmentsD. it leads to an increase in antibodies and the cells that fight viruses32. Why did the children between the ages of 8 and 14 put their hands in cold water?A. Because they wanted to cool their hands off.B. Because they took part in an experiment on laughter.C. Because they wanted to test their ability to resist cold.D. Because they used to do this while watching old TV shows.33. According to Dr. Margaret Stuber, how does humor help children deal with painful medicaltreatments?A. It makes them laugh more.B. It makes them emotionally healthy.C. It makes them think less about a painful process.D. It makes them feel less worried about the treatments.34. Which of the following is true about laughter?A. Laughter cures people of all their diseases.B. Laughter solves all the mental problems.C. Laughter is beneficial to both physical and emotional health.D. Laughter makes children watch old TV shows for a longer time.35.According to the last paragraph, what are the effects of laughter on emotional health?A.Make people less anxious about going to the doctor.B.Make people more excited about medical treatment.C.Make people more satisfied with their health.D.Make people fall fast asleep.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.11. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A) they offer their help B) they receive o thers’ helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness12. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A) he has a soft heartB) he relies much on othersC) some people pretend to be kindD) some people fail to see the kindness in others13. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A) They speed up to pass. B) They waited with patience.C) They tried their best to help. D) They put on their flashlights too.14. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A) handle problems by ourselves B) accept help from othersC) admit our weakness D) show our bravery15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) A Wheelchair Experience. B) Weakness and Kindness.C) Weakness and Strength D) A Driving ExperiencePassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s obse rvations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.16. The first paragraph tells us that the author ________.A) was born to a naturalist’s familyB) lost his hearing when he was a childC) didn’t like his brothers and sistersD) was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood17. The author can’t remember his relatives cle arly because ________.A) he didn’t live very long with them B) he was fully occupied with observing natureC) he was too young when he lived with them D) the family was extremely large18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was ________.A) no more than a born naturalist B) a naturalist but not a scientistC) a scientist as well as a naturalist D) first of all a scientist19. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.A) lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistB) has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticC) just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesD) comes up with solutions in a most natural way20. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be ________.A) full of ambition B) full of enthusiasmC) knowledgeable D) self-disciplinedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how elec tromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.21. The passage is mainly about ________.A) a new regulation for all airlines B) the defects of electronic devicesC) a possible cause of aircraft crashes D) effective safety measures for air flight22. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?A) They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.B) They may have taken place during take-off and landing.C) They were proved to have been caused by the passe ngers’ portable computers.D) They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.23. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because________.A) they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interferenceB) the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be provedC) most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette playersD) they have other effective safety measures to fall back on24. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’scomputers?A) Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.B) Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.C) Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.D) Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.25. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.A) hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problemB) has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenceC) is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices comp letelyD) regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flightPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.President Coolidge’s statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth toda y —that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions posses this great prestige?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.26. The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “________”.A) The business institutions in America are concerned with commerceB) Business problems are of great importance to the American governmentC) Business is of primary concern to AmericansD) America is a great power in world business27. Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only ________.A) when given equality of opportunity B) through doing businessC) by protecting their individual freedom D) by way of competition28. Who can benefit from business competition?A) Honest businessmen. B) Both businessmen and their customers.C) People with ideals of equality and freedom. D) Both business institutions and government.29. Government is believed to differ strikingly from business in that government is characterized by________.A) its absolute control of power B) its function in preserving personal freedomC) its role in protecting basic American values D) its democratic way of exercising leadership30. It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes ________.A) Americans are more ambitious than people in other countriesB) in many countries success often depends on one’s social statusC) American businesses are more democratic than those in other countriesD) businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in AmericaPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “ I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it “. This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.1．According to the passage, the present tense in English is( ).A．not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB．used with some verbs but NOT with others to express future intentionC．basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD．not the most difficult problem for foreign students正确答案：A解析：细节题。
