Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ f ire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding班级____________________ 学号____________________ 姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1.

The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worries are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that________.A. Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B. Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C. Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D. About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.（阅读1）·第7 页共16 页7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. Mood.B. Tiredness.C. CarelessnessD. Weather8. The wo rd “accidents-prone” (L.2 Para.2) means________.A. likely to have accidentsB. injured in accidentsC. possible to die in accidentsD. responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents?A. Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B. Many accidents can and should be avoided.C. Factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D. Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be __________.A. Accidents and AnxietyB. How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC. Human Factors in AccidentsD. How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the manage ment of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite班级____________________学号____________________姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------（阅读1）·第 9 页 共 16 页was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.11. Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to ____.A. give a woman the right to receive all her husband’s propertyB. help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the familyC. protect a woman against the risk of desertionD. both A and C12. According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was ____. A. higher than that of a single woman B. higher than that of her husband C. lower than that of her husband D. the same as that of her husband13. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas? ____A. To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property.B. To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance.C. To prove that women have powerful position.D. To illustrate how women win her property.14. The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is ____.班级____________________ 学号____________________ 姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------A. some of the land Miro had inheritedB. a tenth of Miro’s landC. money for household expensesD. money from Miro’s inheritance15. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ____.A. sympatheticB. disapprovalC. indifferentD. objectivePassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists (语言学家) suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain compared wit h that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables achild to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the ch ild, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.16. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A. he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB. he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC. he was unkind to the nurseD. he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue17. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A. their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakB. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help themC. they do not listen carefully to their mothersD. their brains have to absorb too much language at once.18. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A. difficult periods in the child’s l ifeB. moments when the child becomes critical to its motherC. important stages in the child’s developmentD. times when mothers often neglect their children19. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?A. Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in manB. Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speakC. Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligent（阅读1）·第11 页共16 页D. Most children learn their language in definite stages20. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signa ls_________.A. the child will never be able to speak properlyB. the child will stop giving out signalsC. the child will invent a language of his ownD. the child will make little effort to speakPassage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Ask Steveland Morris and he’ll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely and totally with sight in 1950. He became Steve Wonder ----- composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie s widely acclaimed for his outstanding contributions to the music world.As a child, Stevie learned not to think about things he could not do, but to concentrate on the thing that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also help him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment , he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica (口琴), and listened to the radio.Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir and the leading singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches of neighbor’shomes.班级____________________学号____________________姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------（阅读1）·第 13 页 共 16 页One of Stevie sessions was overhead by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles.
