Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage 1Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors; they try to look as rich and as successful as their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short storie s. He called it “Keeping Up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping Up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason whythey read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “right” restaurants. Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.16. Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up with the Joneses?A. Because they want to be as rich as their neighbors.B. Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.C. Because they want others to know or think they are rich.D. Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.17. Why did Arthur Momand use the name “Jones” in his stories?A. Because many rich people in the U. S. are named Jones.B. Because few rich people in the U. S. are named Jones.C. Because the name sounds funny and impressive.D. Because there are many people in the U. S. whose family name is Jones.18. What does the author refer to when he says the “right” books?A. Books that other people around are reading.B. Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.C. Books by famous and successful writers.D. Very expensive books.19. What does the author mean by “Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead”?A. It seems Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.B. It seems one can never keep up with all people around.C. It seems Mr. Jones is a very rich man.D. It seems one has to work very hard to get rich.20. What is the author’s opinion?A. It is funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.B. It is necessary to keep up with the Joneses.C. It is hard to keep up with the people around you.D. It is senseless to try to keep up with the people around you.Passage 2Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Building team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. So we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit’s very important, but I don’t believe in trying to motivate the team as a team. I try to motivate the team as individuals. So I don’t give team talks. I speak to the players individually. And I try not to put too much pressure on them. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they’re too tense, I can guarantee they won’t play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous. I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I’m incompetent if I keep on employing them.It’s like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and making more substitutions. But I feel if I’ve chosen those eleven play ers to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I’m dropping a player from the team, I don’t feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I’ll say, “Come back and talk about it in a couple of days.” But I don’t try to re-motivate them. It’s up to them to have the character to fight back. I’m a great believer that almost everything you believe in life is due to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a bad attitude, I won’t waste my t ime on him.21. As the manager of Crystal Palace, the writer’s focal point is to ________.A. drop bad players from the teamB. organize different team activitiesC. motivate the team as a wholeD. build team spirit22. The write believe that ________.A. players should be encouraged to fight back against the managerB. a good atmosphere helps construct a good teamC. putting great pressure on the players helps them to play wellD. interfering during a game helps calm the players23. As a manager, the writer doesn’t do the following things except that ________.A. he remains calm and doesn’t interfere during a gameB. he is very strict with players’ private lifeC. he puts different pressure on different playersD. he talks a lot to the whole team before a game24. The writer is likely to employ players ________.A. who are gifted ones with good attitudeB. who are gifted ones although without good attitudeC. who have the character to fight backD. who prefer to spend time with other players25. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How to manage a football team.B. How to play football as a team.C. How to be a good football player.D. How to control football players.Passage 3Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be33 minutes late.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.26. The American professor studied the Brazilian students’ behavior because ________.A. he felt angry at the students’ rudenessB. he felt puzzled at the students’ being lateC. he wanted to collect data for his researchD. he wanted to make students come on time later27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunch appointment.B. Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.C. Brazilian teachers don’t mind staying late after class.D. Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.28. What can we infer from the professor’s study of lateness in the in formal situation?A. Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.B. American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.C. Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.D. Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.29. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil, ________.A. it is acceptable for professors to be late for classB. it is rude to keep a professor staying after classC. it is important to arrive at the appointed timeD. it is normal for students to leave during lectures30. What does this passage tell us?A. People learn the importance of time from the country in which they live.B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.D. It is important to come to class on time in the United States.Passage 4Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The stars are usually actors and actresses. Most people do not even look at the name of the director or producer, except one ― Steven Spielberg. When he was a little boy, his father showed him how to use a camera. Later he got his own camera and started to film things like stories about monsters and horrible murders. His three younger sisters were always the victims. Later he made his first film at home at the age of twelve. It was a cowboy film three and a half minutes long, and it cost $10 to make. When he was sixteen, he made a science-fiction film more than two hours long. Making films was his great hobby ― much more fascinating for him than school. Of course, Steven wanted to go to film school. But his high school grades were not good enough! So he just went along to Universal Studios and asked for a job.Spielberg sometimes uses a lot of complicated effects ― in the Indiana Jones films, for example. But, like in Duel, he can create a fantastic atmosphere even without special effects. E. T. is a success because of the feelings of the children. In 1994 he won the most important film prize, the Oscar, for Schindler's List. The secret of Spielberg’s success is that the stories in many of his films somehow look as if they could happen to ordinary people like you and me.31. Steven Spielberg made his first film at the age of _______.A. TwelveB. ThirteenC. FifteenD. Sixteen32. His first film was about _____________.A. scienceB. cowboysC. monstersD. his younger sisters33.

A fantastic atmosphere was created without special effects.D. A lot of complicated special effects were used.35. In 1994, Spielberg won the Oscar for his film _______________________.A. Indiana JonesB. DuelC. E.T.D. Schindler’s ListPassage 5Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts, so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river to have a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs. If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, talking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river —we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everythingclearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.36. The writer in the text mainly tells us __________.A. the story of his childhoodB. a strange camping experienceC. about a stranger by the riverD. about a good place for camping37. Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?A. They wanted to delay going to the river bank.B. They were waiting for their scoutmaster.C. They had a supper earlier than usual.D. They were talking while eating.38. The word “bewildered” in the text probably means _______.A. ashamedB. nervousC. unable to understandD. eager to know something39.

Read the passage carefully, and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.It is said that you need to exercise only twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Studies conducted by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to re-establish the good physical effects. And what does that mean to you? American scientists have concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, every other day, three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing does n’t return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldn’t be beating too fast, and you shouldn’t be exhausted.1) If you want to reduce fat in a specific part of your body, you should ___________________.2) Scientists have concluded that to keep fit, you have to exercise _______________________.3) You don’t burn more calories when you run one mile than when you walk that distance, because ________________________________.4) Speed does matter if ____________________________________.5) How do you know if you are not over-exercised?(请写清楚题号并做在答题卡上)Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20%)Section ADirections: For each of the following incomplete sentences, there are four words or expressions marked A, B, C and D.
