For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.Passage 1Not so long ago almost any student who successfully complete a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them.11. In Para.1, the sentence “... those days are gone, even in Hong Kong ...”suggest that _______.A. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhereB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countriesD. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobs12. The word “relative”in Para. 2 could best be replaced by “_______”.A. familyB. comparativeC. considerableD. slight13. The advice given in the first sentence of Para.3 is to _______.A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on, and probable future location of, various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available14. The word “prospective”in Para. 5 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious15. In Para.5, the writer seems to suggest that _______.A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 2It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems —and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationship.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 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 accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, 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(处于劣势者): you can’t win 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, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can impress others, especially your parents, 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. This passage is primarily meant for _______..A. parentsB. teenagersC. educatorsD. psychologists17. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.A. the teenagers’criticism of their parentsB. the misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC. the parent’complaints about their childrenD. the dominance of the parents over their children18. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they _______.A. want to irritate their parentsB. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC. have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own19. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they _______.A. have a desire to be independentB. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adultsC. are not likely to win over the adultsD. have already been accepted into the adult world20. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be _______.A. obedientB. independentC. responsibleD. cooperativePassage 3The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: “store in the refrigerator”.In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, thebutcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased; fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed —natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling ...What refrigeration did promote was marketing —marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away(不断地嗡嗡作响) continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintain an artificially-cooled space inside and artificially-heated house —while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet（橱柜）and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you’ll get rid of that terrible hum.21. The statement “In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.”(Para.2) suggest that _______.A. the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fiftiesB. the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fiftiesC. there was no fridge in the author’s home in the 1950sD. the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s22.

Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.D. People had effective ways to preserve their food.23. Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?A. Inventors.B. Consumers.C. Manufacturers.D. Traveling salesmen（巡回推销员）.24. Which of the following phrases in Para.5 indicates the fridge’s negative effect on the environment?A. “Hum away continuously”.B. “Climatically almost unnecessary”.C. “Artificially-cooled space”.D. “With mild temperatures”.25. What is the author’s overall attitude toward fridges?A. Neutral.B. Critical.C. Objective.D. Compromising.Quiz 2Part I Use of EnglishDirections:Directions：In this part, there are 10 incomplete dialogues. For each dialogue, there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.

For each question, there are four choices marked A，B，C，and D. Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.Passage 1To understand how Americans think about things，it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often：“Let’s get right to the point”，“My point is ... ”，“What’s the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is，or should be，at the center of people’s thinking，writing，and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”， meaning that they are supposed to write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about “the point”. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind，rather than stating “the point” clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly，leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus，while an American might say to a friend，“I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”， a Japanese might say，“Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on.” Americans value a person who “gets right to the point”. Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity（模糊）. The precision（精确）and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved，at least not with any grace，in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.11. By “the point”，Americans mean_______.A. the idea or information in their mindB. the most important idea or informationC. what they think，write and speakD. what they wish to express12. Compared with people from many other cultures，Americans are_______..A. direct and honestB. clear and talkativeC. impolite and rudeD. traditional and silent13. A typical American seems to be_______ to a typical Japanese.A. sensitive and rudeB. insensitive but not rudeC. sensitive instead of rudeD. insensitive and even rude14. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. You are expected to state your idea clearly when speaking to an American.B. Telling stories to express their ideas is a traditional way of Africans.C. Japanese often imply their disapproval with polite words.D. Chinese and Japanese languages are hard to understand because they are not clear.15. A conclusion can be made that_______.A. Americans and Africans cannot communicate satisfactorilyB. Africans and Japanese cannot communicate satisfactorilyC. Misunderstanding may arise when Americans communicate with ChineseD. Chinese and Japanese will certainly get on well with each otherPassage 2Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation（动机）. This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivationcan come from two sources：from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case，motivation comes from your hopes and expectations，from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual，and various. If you have not already done so，you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies，and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study.Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation：from outside. In education the most obvious kind of outside motivation is grades. For many students，course grades are an immediate，short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for examinations and grades，but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day，but they are only small，artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition.A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation； that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement，it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study； more important is how well you study.16. Inside motivation comes from_______.A. your need and desireB. your hopes and expectationsC. your desire to do something or to be someoneD. both B and C17. Study purposes_______.A. are different from person to personB. are personal inner desiresC. share some common pointsD. should be carefully made18. If you haven’t set a goal in your studies，_______.A. you will most probably become a failureB. you will never be a good studentC. you may lose direction and lack motivationD. you won’t have good study habits19. According to the passage，why are examinations and grades necessary in education?A. Because they can make the difference between success and failure.B. Because they can motivate many students to study harder.C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies.D. Because they are small，artificial steps to an ultimate goal.20. If you want to be an efficient learner，you must_______.A. have clear study purposesB. be always motivated from both inside and outsideC. set grades as your ambitionD. have good study habitsPassage 3Although America is such a huge country，traveling is really very quick and easy. There are three ways to get across the country without a car：planes，trains and buses. Air travel is the most expensive of the three but in many ways the easiest and most comfortable. There are hundreds of flights a day crossing the country，and it is easy to make a reservation（预订）. Traveling by train is cheaper than by airplane. But it costs more than by bus and there are few passenger （旅客）trains. On the trains there are dining cars and bars where meals are served quickly. If you are spending the night on the train you can pay for a “roomette” which is a small roomwith a bed and a toilet. The most inexpensive way to travel is by bus. There are fast bus services between cities，for example，the Greyhound Bus Service. You can buy special tickets that allow you unlimited travel for a certain period of time. In this way you can stop along the way to visit the places that interest you most.If you need to travel long distances frequently, however, you’ll have to decide which way is the most suitable for you. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution. During the day，sleep comes in snatches（瞬间）. At night，when you really wish to go to sleep，you rarely manage to do so. Inevitably you arrive at you destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant，for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can，at least，travel safely at high speeds，but the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow，bumpy roads that are crowded with traffic.By comparison，trip by sea offers a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks（甲板），play games，swim，meet interesting people and enjoy good food. However，if the sea is rough，you are likely to get seasick. Even if you travel in ideal weather，sea journeys take a long time.21. If you want to travel easily and comfortably，you should choose to go_______.A. by seaB. by planeC. by trainD. by bus22. Compared with air travel，traveling by train_______.A. is cheap but comfortableB. is not so easily availableC. offer better and quicker mealsD. requires you to pay for a “roomette”23. Which of the following is the advantage of bus service?A. It’s the cheapest and least comfortable way of traveling.B. It allows passengers to travel between different cities.C. It sells special tickets that make it convenient for passengers to take.D. It travels safely at high speeds.24. The second paragraph mainly talks about_______.A. the way of traveling you had better chooseB. what you can do on your journey to kill the timeC. reading and sleep on your journey when you travel by train and by busD. the disadvantages of traveling by train and by bus25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about trip by sea?A. You can find more space to stretch yourself.B. You have different choices to enjoy yourself.C. You should have enough time and prepare for seasickness.D. You should never travel in bad weather.二、“语法与词汇”复习试题Unit 1名词性从句（一）Nominal Clauses （Ⅰ）从句法功能上划分，复合句可以分为名词性从句（即宾语从句、表语从句、主语从句、同位语从句和介词补足成分）、形容词性从句（即定语从句）和副词性分句（即状语从句）。
