Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity thatyoung people have to choose their own ways of life. In a moretraditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to livein the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whomtheir parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do betterthan they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause ofthe gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very littlein common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separatedby different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap willcontinue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention frompeopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate witheach other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

Many countries fought for the power andriches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas whichdemanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possiblybecause of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many menof genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however,produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, andscientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Ageof Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardoda Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings butalso for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting isthe "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was anartist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked withother forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceilingof the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced picturesout of many different actions.101.Another name for the 16th century is the .A.Classical AgeB.Middle AgesC."Age of Genius"D.Age of Renaissance102.To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and few in other is .A.an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC.not importantD.unnecessary103.Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraphof the passage?A.Geniuses are born talented.B.Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C.Fighting for the riches of the newly - discovered Americas produced geniuses.D.A period during which new ideas were replacing older ideas might produce geniuses.104.is famous for his paintings and for his talent in science.A.RaphaelB.Leonardo da VinciC.MichelangeloD.Mona Lisa105.Michelangelo is known for .A.his Mona LisaB.his paintings in Sistine ChapelC.his well-balanced picturesD.his contributions to scienceSometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch(门廊)will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear.

These are among the predictions( 预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of newsevents.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the nextstep. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from withinjournalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the presentgeneration of journalists and publishers will have to die off before thenext generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer anewspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditionalnewspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replacenewsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to completethe changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapershave established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry.106.The best title for this passage is ./doc/3d18748196.html,puter Newspapers are Well LikedB.Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC.Newspapers Are out of FashionD.New Communications Technology107.It might take 30 to 40 years for computer newspapers to replacetraditional newspapers, because .A.it is technologically impossible now/doc/3d18748196.html,puter newspapers are too expensiveC.there is strong resistance from both the general population and professional journalistsD.traditional newspapers are easy to read108.Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A.They are cheaper than traditional newspapersB.They are very convenient to useC.You can get more information from them quicklyD.You can easily save information for future use109.Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers,because .A.they don’t know how to use computersB.they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC.they think the new technology is badD.they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110.We can infer from the passage that .A.all technological changes are goodB.all technologies will eventually replace old onesC.new technologies will eventually replace old onesD.traditional newspapers are here to stay for another centuryPassage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a greatdeal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personalworth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. Ayoungster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighterbrothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became soafraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course,they shouldbe corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But thecriticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself;it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）.The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying :“I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t wantyou to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body,and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information thatthey will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for theirpersonal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted,not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a motherfeels that she must rea d her daughte’r s diary to know what is going on,the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to buildtheir lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinionsof others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The bestway to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towel（s 毛巾）f r o m a h o t e l w i l l t h i n k t h a t i t i s a l l r igh t t o s t e a l.A y o u n g s t e r w h o s e e s n o l a u g h t e r a n d n o l o v ei n t h e h o m e w i l lh a v e a d i f f i c u l t t i m e l a u g h i n g a n d l o v i n g.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owethe child something. And if you give him his due, h’e ll have somethingof value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.A ccording to the passage, parents owe their children the followingthings except .A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. informationabout their body112.The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are in charge of themselves because .A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.W hich of the following ways is advised for parents to show love totheir children?A.Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB.Never embracing older childrenC.Refusing something to the childrenD.Never criticizing children.114.T he word “due” in the last paragraph means .A.something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB.reasonable explanations or plansC.what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD.the money to be paid115.W hich of the following is true according to the passage?A.Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B.Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C.Children shouldn’t be corr ected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D.It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worseyou’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look,a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this.116.The main idea of the text is that .A.stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB.it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC.films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD.the camera has made film making easy and possible117.What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before thestage?A.Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B.The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C.The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D.The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118.Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A.It can move easily.B.It can make small things look larger.C.It can show things in the future.D.It can give us a scene of realism.119.In what way are plays different from film?A.Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B.Films can show the past while plays can’t.C.Films change scenes while plays don’t.D.Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is .A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. Besides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoidembarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121.In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he .A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122.If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123.In Poland, it is for the hostess to remove the cover of the bunch of flower somebody presented to her.A. impoliteB. politeC. expectedD. unexpected124.In Bulgaria, if a man nods, it means that he with you.A. will have a talkB. disagreesC. will shake handsD.agrees125.The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans d o”means that .A.we should learn from the RomansB.we should work as the Romans doC.we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D.we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants itto be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel thata certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions。

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom theirparents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another causeof the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have verylittle in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. Theyoung and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generationgap will continue in American life for some time to come.6.The first paragraph tells us that ______.A.the problem of the generation gap draws much attentionfrom peopleB.it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC.children and parents are trying to understand each otherD.it is very important for people to frequently communicatewith each other7.In a more traditional society, old people_______.A.have their children respect and listen to themB.do not care for their children at allC.expect their children to rebel against themD.do not live together with their children8.In American society young people________.A.do not need to find jobsB.leave home at an early ageC.have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9.Which of the following is NOT the causA.Young people like to depend moreB.Parents do not love their children dC.American society changes rapidly.D.Parents expect too much of their c10.The main idea of the passage is ____A.that the generation gap needs coB.when the generation gap is neceC.why the generation gap existD.how we can reduce the generatio二、交际用语 (此部分共有 10 个未完成的完成的部分有 4 个选项，请你从 A、B、个最佳选项。

By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others - they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.1. The passage mainly deals with ______.A. life and deathB. heroes and iconsC. heroes and heroinesD. icons and celebrities2. Heroes and heroines are usually ______.A. courageousB. exemplaryC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above3. Which of the following statements is wrong? _________A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.D. One's look can contribute to being famous.4. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________.A. just before her deathB. when she became a princessC. when she was 19D. after she gave birth to a prince5. What is more likely to set an icon's status? ________A. Good looks.B. The quality of one's story.C. Personal attractionD. Tragic and early death.2. The residents of 24 Acacia Grove were dissatisfied with the condition of the property, so John Preston called a meeting to discuss things last week. At the meeting John suggested setting up a residents’ committee. Everyone was so worried and angry about the agent’s inactivity that they agreed, and they elected John as chairman of the committee. Many residents said that they were tired of telephoning the agent and tired of complaining about the flats. Although the agent was responsible for the flats, they thought that he didn’t do enough. Therefore John was asked to write to the agent and say that they were disappointed with the management of the flats.The next service payment was due at the end of the month. However, they agreed not to pay it until they were happy with the plans to improve the property. They decided to tell the agent that he must start the work within one month. They all went away very pleased with themselves.1. Why did John Preston call a meeting last week?A. Because the residents were dissatisfied with the present residents’ committee.B. Because the residents were dissatisfied with the bad management of the flats.C. Because some residents requested to change the present residents’ committee.D. Because he wanted to become Chairman of the committee.2. Who elected John as chairman of the committee?A.The agent.B. The committee.C. The residents.D. Acacia Grove.3.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In genera l, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy peop le are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is cle ar that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.1. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.2. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.A. a weak pointy of shy peopleB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a good quality3. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ________.A. goodB. unrealC. harmfulD. very reasonable4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people_________.A. should find more of their weaknessB. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemC. had better ignore their weaknessD. should understand themselves in the right way4. How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.1. The origin of language is _________.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved2. What is true about words?A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down.C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.3. The real power of words consists in their ______.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function4. By “association” in the last paragraph, the author means ______.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.5、There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, youshould never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1. Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. if we complete the short-term goalsC. if we have dreams of the futureD. if we put forward some plans2. New short-term goals are built upon______.A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed3. When we complete each step of our goals, ________.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we will build up our confidence to achieve successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals4. What is the main idea of this passage? _______A. Life is a dynamic thing.B. We should set up long-term goals.C. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _______A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.6. Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside London.2. With the same money needed for _______, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ______ has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that________ if they had to live it outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to .A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent from7. What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further. He must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientis t’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1. What makes a scientist according to the passage?A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His ways of learning.D. The various tools he uses.2. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show ____________.A. the important of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.3. A sound scientific theory should be one that ___________________.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement4. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ______________.A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different form ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.8. In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.2. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.3. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A. at 7:00 amB. at 4:00 pmC. at the nightD. at 4:00 am4. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people form different cultures about the concept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.5. From the passage we can safely infer that ________________A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in the day time.B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C. it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.第三部分词汇与结构（来自课堂讲解例句，课后练习及统考题库）1、I won’t make the _______ mistake next time.A. likeB. sameC. nearD. similar2、- _______ is your girl friend like?- She is very kind and good-looking.A.

In a couple of hours he was going to fly out to France. He was going to be away for at least a year to learn a foreign language and 61 life in a foreign country.It was a milestone in Dan’s life, a change from school days to62 .When we were to say goodbye,I 63 closely at his face.

I 65 motionless and silent, looking 66 my son’s green eyes.I knew that this wasn’t the first time I 67 such an opportunity pass me by. When Daniel was a little boy, I followed him to the bus on the first day in preschool. I 68 the excitement in his hand that heldmine when the bus came round the corner.

Why does it have to be so 77 to tellyour son how you feel?

They had to decide where to go and whichanimals to visit as their time was 82 . So both of them agreed not to83 after choosing a 84 at every fork(岔路口).A road sign at the first fork 85 one way to the lion area and theother to the tiger hill. They decided on the former after a 86discussion because lions were “the king of the grassland”. The secondshowed a division going separately to the panda and peacock.

Many countries fought for the power and riches of the newly discovered Americas. Men introduced new ideas which demanded great changes in older ideas. Despite these problems and possibly because of them, wonderful things were done by the greatest of men.It is indeed difficult to know why in some periods you find many men of genius while in others you may find few. The "Age of Genius", however, produced some of the greatest thinkers, painters, authors, and scientists.In Italy during the High Renaissance (文艺复兴), a period of the "Age of Genius", three famous painters started their work. They were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael.Leonardo da Vinci is famous not only for his beautiful paintings but also for his talent in the sciences. One of his best - known painting is the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo was also a man of many talents. He was an artist; he wrote poems; he drew plans for buildings; and he worked with other forms of art. His best- known work is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (罗马西斯教堂).Raphael was known for his painting. He made well-balanced pictures out of many different actions.101. Another name for the 16th century is the ________.A. Classical AgeB. Middle AgesC. "Age of Genius"D. Age of Renaissance102. To know why in some periods you find many intelligent men and fewin other is __________.A. an easy thing to doB. a very difficult thing to doC. not importantD. unnecessary103. Which of the following statements is implied in the first paragraph of the passage?A. Geniuses are born talented.B. Geniuses are often produced in the same age.C.

And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Wantmore information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions(预言)from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available(可用的)now, but convincing(说服)more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial(财经的)interests in the paper industry. 106. The best title for this passage is_______.A. Computer Newspapers are Well LikedB. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on ComputerC. Newspapers Are out of FashionD. New Communications Technology107.

Journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers, because_______.A. they don’t know how to use computersB. they think computer newspapers take too much time to readC. they think the new technology is badD. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers110. We can infer from the passage that_______.A. all technological changes are goodB. all technologies will eventually replace old onesC. new technologies will eventually replace old onesD. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century Passage2Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem(自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and became so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticism should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline.It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes（刹车）. The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes”sends a double message. He is also saying : “I love you, and I’m ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy（隐私权）and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels（毛巾） from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.111.According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body112. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because_________.A.they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB.there is no one to guide and discipline themC.they are afraid of being left aloneD.there is no one to ask for help when in trouble.113.Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to the childrenD. Never criticizing children.114.The word “due” in the last paragraph means_________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanations or plansC. what must be given to someone because it is right or wrongD. the money to be paid115.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own livesat an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his bright brothers becauseit makes him try harder.Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll be wasting a powerful tool —the camera.A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands.The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 116. The main idea of the text is that ________ .A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of artB. it is always disappointing to turn play into filmsC. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage playsD. the camera has made film making easy and possible117. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage?A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre.B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage.C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time.D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of.118. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool?A. It can move easily.B. It can make small things look larger.C. It can show things in the future.D. It can give us a scene of realism.119. In what way are plays different from film?A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t.B. Films can show the past whi le plays can’t.C. Films change scenes while plays don’t.D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t.120. A suitable title for this text is _______.A. Stage Plays and FilmB. The Powerful CameraC. Fewer Plays, More FilmsD. Less Waste, More FreedomPassage3If an American is satisfied with you, he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle. That means OK. But in Brazil, the very sign is considered to be rude. In Poland, a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess. The number must be an odd(奇数) one. B esides, the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers. And usually, red rose is a sign of love.Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disapproval. To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria(保加利亚).The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable. We should learn more about them to avoid them and to avoid embarrassment(窘迫). Then, would you please remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.121. In Poland, if a man gives some odd red roses to woman as a present, it means that he _____.A. will invite her to a dinner partyB. has not been in love withherC. will invite her to a ballD. has fallen in love withher122. If a Brazilian puts his thumb and index(食指) into a circle, it shows that he _____ you.A. will be friends withB. is not satisfied withC. is willing to helpD. is satisfied with123.

The sentence “When in Rome, do as the Romans do” means that _______.A.we should learn from the RomansB. we should work as the Romans doC. we should obey its customs when we are entering a country.D. we have been RomansEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand —he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual （视觉的）artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely（仅仅） choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something —all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 126. All artists are common in that _____.A. they use shapes and colors instead of wordsB. they are trying to teach the publicC. what they want to teach is difficult to explainD. they want to learn from the public127.

The public could share the artist’s feelings through their choiceof shapes and colors.。
