They had plannedeither to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving theirfurniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reachtheir new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, theyfind they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own,liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep rentingit instead of buying new things.

They studied in the same class and the same interest in physics brought them together and they became good friends. Before long they fell in love. In 1903 when Einstein was 24, he married Marits, who was 4 years older than he.After their marriage, Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory. To give her husband more help, Marits gave up her own work, and became a good wife and assistant. She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible. She was sure that her husband would succeed. They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room. They evendid that in their letters when one of them was away from their home.In 1914, Einstein moved to Berlin and settled down there. At that time his theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world. But it was not long before the First World War broke out. Marits as well as her two sons, who was on holiday in Switzerland couldn't come back to Berlin any more. The war not only stopped Einstein's work but also broke up the warm happy family. In 1919 Einstein and Marits had to get divorced (离婚).6.From this passage we can see that Marits was 27 when married.A.TB.F答案:B7.We can learn from the passage that Marits was also a great scientist.A.TB.F答案:B8.The last paragraph mainly tells us why Einstein and Marits got divorced.A.TB.F答案:A9.Einstein and Marits got divorced because Marits didn't love Einstein after the war broke out.A.TB.F答案:B10.The writer wanted to tell us that we should remember Marits when talking about Einstein's theory.A.TB.F答案:AIn 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 pm. 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 different 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, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.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 late, 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.答案:B12.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.答案:B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案:B14.Which of the following statements 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.No misunderstandings arise between people from 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.答案:D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in 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.答案:B三、词汇与语法16.What's the weather forecast ______ tomorrow?A.forB.toC.withD.of答案:A17.The reason I didn't go to Canada was _______ a new job.A.because I gotB.how I gotC.that I gotD.why I got答案:C18.My parents are teachers.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food ( 1 ) it is badly cooked. The ( 2 ) a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an ( 3 ) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child ( 4 ) he likes or dislikes a food and never ( 5 ) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow ( 6 ) else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother ( 7 ) vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is ( 8 ) to copy this procedure. Take it ( 9 ) granted that he likes everything and he probably ( 10 ). Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a ( 11 ) dislike. At meal times it is a good ( 12 ) to give a child a small portion and let him ( 13 ) back for a second helping rather than give him as ( 14 ) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child ( 15 ) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not ( 16 ) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will ( 17 ) learn to swallow his food ( 18 ) he can hurry back to his toys.

For those who do want a ( 3 ) of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to ( 4 ) for lower wages, fewer promotions, less responsible ( 5 ).In America, on the other hand, most women, ( 6 ) wives and mothers, work most of their lives, but ( 7 ), few have had real careers.

Du ring recent years we have heard much about “race”: how this race does certain things and that race believes certain things and so on. Yet, the ( 1 ) phenomenon of race consists of a few surface indications.We judge race usually ( 2 ) the coloring of the skin: a white race, a brown race, a yellow race and a black race.

On the other hand, some of our most distinguished people have had ( 13 ) brains.Mental tests which are reasonably ( 14 ) show how no differences in intelligence between races.

( 2 ), the answer to both these questions is yes. ( 3 ) some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no ( 4 ) of special education can make a genius ( 5 ) a child born with low intelligence. ( 6 ), a child who lives in a boring environment will ( 7 ) his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and ( 8 ) surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, ( 9 ) whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This ( 10 ), now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.( 11 ) is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born ( 12 ). The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are ( 13 ) to be in intelligence. Thus ( 14 ) we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of ( 15 ) will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two ( 16 ) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, ( 17 ) have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now ( 18 ) we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We would soon ( 19 ) differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that ( 20 ) as well as birth plays a part.D.1. A. wise B. intelligent C. bright D. stupidC.2. A. By no means B.

So ( 1 ), many people are concerned ( 2 ) the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the ( 3 ) kind?Even though very small ( 4 ) of each vitamin are enough for the ( 5 ) of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has to do ( 6 ) their diet---the food they take in. A person eating a good ( 7 ) of foods get all the vitamins now ( 8 ) to be needed.The problem is that there are many people ( 9 ) don’t choose foods wisely. So the answer ( 10 ) this question is: No ( 11 ) vitamins are needed, ( 12 ) you eat proper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be ( 13 ) in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even ( 14 ) to put too much of certain vitamins into the body.

Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as N ew Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to fin d someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.A. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.A. Monday to SaturdayB. Tuesday to SundayC. Thursday to FridayD. Tuesday to Friday3. Which statement is not true according to this passage?A. Only a few shops remain open on New Years Day.B. Most of the workers needn’t work on Christmas Day.C. Days on vacation must be more than all the holidays in a year.D. All the workers have a half month vacation at last.4. The reason why someone has to divide his vacation into several parts is that ___.A. no one can be found to take his placeB. he hasn’t a most high positionC. he plays an important role in his workD. he hasn’t been working for his co mpany for a long time5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Holidays in the United StatesB. Vacation in the United States.C. How do the workers spend their holidays.D. Something about the holidays and vacation in the U.S..82.Why don’t birds get lost in their long migratory flights? Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly at night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the star in their long-distance flights.One such bird---a warbler(鸣禽)---had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under the natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warbler, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.1. The reason why birds don’t get lost in migratory flightsA. have been known to scientists for years .B. have only recently been discovered.C. are known by everyone.D. will probably remain a mystery.2. The experiment with the warbler indicated thatA. birds have to be taught to navigate.B. a bird that has been caged will not migrate.C. some birds cannot fly at night.D. some birds seem instinctively to follow the star when flying at night.3. Under artificial stars, the bird in the cageA. tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged .B. changed direction when the position of the stars was changed.C. would not fly at all.D. both A and B.4. Warblers migrateA. from North American to the Falkland Islands.B. only once during their lifetime.C. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability.D. when they are freed from their cages.5. This article is a good example of the way scientistsA. jump to conclusion.B. discover workable answers to general questions by studying particular cases.C. formulate a law and then carry out investigation.D. are frustrated by the habits of animals.83. Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one on your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable, especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.1. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuse.B. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say “Sorry”.D. He should telephone to explain his being late.2. “It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable.” “Bad manners: means ___.A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful3. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social Customs and BehaviorB. Social lifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important4. According to the text, the best host ___.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish5. The author of this article may agree with which of the following?。

Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries,people can turn ontheir TVs and shop for clothes,jewelry(珠宝),food,toys,and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden(瑞典),for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries,and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels,and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany,until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness,including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities,this is an important reason. But at the same time,other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them,and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. (1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.A:TB:F答案:B(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.A:TB:F答案:A(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.A:TB:F答案:B(4)、In Germany,teleshopping may have fewer buyers.A:TB:F答案:B(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .A:TB:F2、Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. 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 feelings 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 general, 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 people 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 clear 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 weaknesses 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?" (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.答案:B(2)、According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A:a good qualityB:the cause of unhappinessC:harmful to peopleD:a weak point of shy people答案:A(3)、That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A:goodC:very reasonableD:harmful答案:B(4)、Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A:Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB:Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC:Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD:Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案:C(5)、It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A:should find more of their weaknessB:should understand themselves in the right wayC:had better ignore their weaknessD:can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案:B三、词汇与语法1、Our manager will look into the matter as soon as possible.

They are ways of showing kindness.My husband,Bob,is a pilot,and one day we were invited to a potluck (百味餐) at his flying squadron(飞行中队). The noisy room was filled with mouthy kids and their chatting moms and dads. Our son,Daniel, was only two years old. We let him play with the other kids because it was a safe environment.After a while,he came back with a package of peanut butter crackers and proudly held them out to us. A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is?”followe d him.“He is mine,” I answered, wondering what Daniel might have done.“Well,” replied the pilot, “I've been passing out crackers to the kids for almost two hours,and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to. He's the only one who said 'Thank you'. What he did makes me pleased.”Daniel smiled and proudly repeated,“Thank you.”6.Pilots and their family were invited to the potluck.A.TB.F答案:A7.Daniel felt very excited when he showed his crackers to his parents.A.TB.F答案:B8.For nearly two hours at least, the pilot served at the party when he found Daniel.A.TB.F答案:A9.Only one kid said “Thank you” to the man when he gave the kids crackers.A.TB.F答案:A10.The pilot felt surprised when he heard the boy said “Thank you”.A.TB.FWhat 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 scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no ro om 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, and 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.11.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.答案:B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案:C13.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.leaves no room for improvement答案:A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案:C15.What is the main idea of the passage? ________A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. 答案:D三、词汇与语法16.The man ______Mary was so tall that she could hardly see the show.A.in front ofB.in the front ofC.at the back ofD.at the beginning of答案:A17.Jane likes singing.

The ( 2 ) a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an ( 3 ) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child ( 4 ) he likes or dislikes a food and never ( 5 ) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow ( 6 ) else to do so. If thefather says he hates fat meat or the mother ( 7 ) vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is ( 8 ) to copy this procedure. Take it ( 9 ) granted that he likes everything and he probably ( 10 ). Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a ( 11 ) dislike. At meal times it is a good ( 12 ) to give a child a small portion and let him ( 13 ) back for a second helping rather than give him as ( 14 ) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child ( 15 ) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not ( 16 ) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will ( 17 ) learn to swallow his food ( 18 ) he can hurry back to his toys.

For those who do want a ( 3 ) of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to ( 4 ) for lower wages, fewer promotions, less responsible ( 5 ).In America, on the other hand, most women, ( 6 ) wives and mothers, work most of their lives, but ( 7 ), few have had real careers. As in Japan most fields are ( 8 ) by men and opportunities for women have been ( 9 ), salaries low, chances for advancement ( 10 ) American women work mainly because they ( 11 ), in these days of inflation and luxury living. ( 12 ) income per family is simply not enough to ( 13 ). So American women actually have two jobs: one nine-to-five position outsidethe home, and ( 14 ) round-the-clock-in-the-home-job ( 15 ) wife, house-maid, cook, and nurse.One of the main goals of the modern women’s liberation movement, which started ( 16 ), was to eliminate sex discrimination in the work force, and to ( 17 ) careers for women that were previously ( 18 ) for men.

Du ring recent years we have heard much about “race”: how this race does certain things and that race believes certain things and so on. Yet, the ( 1 ) phenomenon of race consists of a few surface indications.We judge race usually ( 2 ) the coloring of the skin: a white race, a brown race, a yellow race and a black race. But ( 3 ) you were to remove the skin,you could not ( 4 ) anything about the race to which the individual belonged. There is ( 5 ) in physical structure, the brain or the internal organs to ( 6 ) a difference.There are four types of blood. ( 7 ) types are found in every race, and no type is distinct to any race. Human brains are the ( 8 ). No scientists could examine a brain and tell you the race to which the individual belonged. Brains will ( 9 ) in size, but this occurs within every race.( 10 ) does size have anything to do with intelligence. The largest brain ( 11 ) examined belonged to a person of weak ( 12 ). On the other hand, some of ourmost distinguished people have had ( 13 ) brains.Mental tests which are reasonably ( 14 ) show how no differences in intelligence between races. High and low test results both can be recorded by different members of any race. ( 15 ) equal educational advantages, there will be no difference in average standings, either on account of race or geographical(地理的)location. Individuals of every race ( 16 ) civilization to go backward or forward. Training and education can change the response of a group of people, ( 17 ) enable them to behave in a ( 18 ) way.The behaviors and ideals of people change according to circumstances, but they can always go back or go on to something new ( 19 ) is better and higher than anything ( 20 ) the past.D.1.

( 2 ), the answer to both these questions is yes. ( 3 ) some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no ( 4 ) of special education can make a genius ( 5 ) a child born with low intelligence. ( 6 ), a child who lives in a boring environment will ( 7 ) his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and ( 8 ) surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, ( 9 ) whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This ( 10 ), now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.( 11 ) is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born ( 12 ). The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are ( 13 ) to be in intelligence. Thus ( 14 ) we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of ( 15 ) will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two ( 16 ) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, ( 17 ) have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now ( 18 ) we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We would soon ( 19 ) differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that ( 20 ) as well as birth plays a part.D.1. A. wise B. intelligent C. bright D. stupidC.2. A. By no means B.

So ( 1 ), many people are concerned ( 2 ) the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the ( 3 ) kind?Even though very small ( 4 ) of each vitamin are enough for the ( 5 ) of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has to do ( 6 ) their diet---the food they take in. A person eating a good ( 7 ) of foods get all the vitamins now ( 8 ) to be needed.The problem is that there are many people ( 9 ) don’t choose foods wisely. So the answer ( 10 ) this question is: No ( 11 ) vitamins are needed, ( 12 ) you eatproper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be ( 13 ) in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even ( 14 ) to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true ( 15 ) vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken ( 16 ).What foods supply what vitamins? Here is a quick ( 17 ) idea. Vitamin A for the ( 18 ) of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which ( 19 ) the nervous and digestive ( 20 ) and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. VitaminB2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.B.1.

Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as N ew Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During theseholidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to fin d someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.A. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.A.

The reason why someone has to divide his vacation into several parts is that ___.A. no one can be found to take his placeB. he hasn’t a most high positionC. he plays an important role in his workD. he hasn’t been working for his co mpany for a long time5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Holidays in the United StatesB. Vacation in the United States.C. How do the workers spend their holidays.D. Something about the holidays and vacation in the U.S..82.Why don’t birds get lost in their long migratory flights? Scientists have been puzzled o ver this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly at night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the star in their long-distance flights.One such bird---a warbler(鸣禽)---had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under the natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in theposition of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. Scientists think that warbler, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see the se, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.1. The reason why birds don’t get lost in migratory flightsA. have been known to scientists for years .B. have only recently been discovered.C. are known by everyone.D. will probably remain a mystery.2. The experiment with the warbler indicated thatA. birds have to be taught to navigate.B. a bird that has been caged will not migrate.C. some birds cannot fly at night.D. some birds seem instinctively to follow the star when flying at night.3. Under artificial stars, the bird in the cageA. tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged .B. changed direction when the position of the stars was changed.C. would not fly at all.D. both A and B.4. Warblers migrateA. from North American to the Falkland Islands.B. only once during their lifetime.C. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability.D. when they are freed from their cages.5. This article is a good example of the way scientistsA. jump to conclusion.B. discover workable answers to general questions by studying particular cases.C. formulate a law and then carry out investigation.D. are frustrated by the habits of animals.83.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one on your lap, or on the table?。

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food ( 1D ) it is badly cooked. The ( 2C ) a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an ( 3B ) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child ( 4A ) he likes or dislikes a food and never ( 5C ) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow ( 6B ) else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother ( 7C ) vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is( 8D ) to copy this procedure. Take it ( 9D ) granted that he likes everything and he probably ( 10C ). Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a ( 11A ) dislike. At meal times it is a good ( 12C ) to give a child a small portion and let him ( 13B ) back for a second helping rather than give him as ( 14A ) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child ( 15D ) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not ( 16B ) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will ( 17B ) learn to swallow his food ( 18A ) he can hurry back to his toys.

For those who do want a ( 3 ) of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to ( 4 ) for lower wages, fewer promotions, less responsible ( 5 ).In America, on the other hand, most women, ( 6 ) wives and mothers, work most of their lives, but ( 7 ), few have had real careers. As in Japan most fields are ( 8 ) by men and opportunities for women have been ( 9 ), salaries low, chances for advancement ( 10 ) American women work mainly because they ( 11 ), in these days of inflation and luxury living. ( 12 ) income per family is simply not enough to ( 13 ). So American women actually have two jobs: one nine-to-five position outside the home, and ( 14 ) round-the-clock-in-the-home-job ( 15 ) wife, house-maid, cook, and nurse.One of the main goals of the modern women’s liberation movement, which started( 16 ), was to eliminate sex discrimination in the work force, and to ( 17 ) careers for women that were previously ( 18 ) for men.

Yet, the ( 1 ) phenomenon of race consists of a few surface indications.We judge race usually ( 2 ) the coloring of the skin: a white race, a brown race, a yellow race and a black race. But ( 3 ) you were to remove the skin,you could not ( 4 ) anything about the race to which the individual belonged. There is ( 5 ) in physical structure, the brain or the internal organs to ( 6 ) a difference.There are four types of blood. ( 7 ) types are found in every race, and no type is distinct to any race. Human brains are the ( 8 ). No scientists could examine a brain and tell you the race to which the individual belonged. Brains will ( 9 ) in size, but this occurs within every race.( 10 ) does size have anything to do with intelligence. The largest brain ( 11 ) examined belonged to a person of weak ( 12 ). On the other hand, some of our most distinguished people have had ( 13 ) brains.Mental tests which are reasonably ( 14 ) show how no differences in intelligence between races. High and low test results both can be recorded by different members of any race. ( 15 ) equal educational advantages, there will be no difference in average standings, either on account of race or geographical(地理的)location.Individuals of every race ( 16 ) civilization to go backward or forward. Training and education can change the response of a group of people, ( 17 ) enable them to behave in a ( 18 ) way.The behaviors and ideals of people change according to circumstances, but they can always go back or go on to something new ( 19 ) is better and higher than anything ( 20 ) the past.1.

( 2 ), the answer to both these questions is yes. ( 3 ) some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no ( 4 ) of special education can make a genius ( 5 ) a child born with low intelligence. ( 6 ), a child who lives in a boring environment will ( 7 ) his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and ( 8 ) surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, ( 9 ) whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This ( 10 ), now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.( 11 ) is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born ( 12 ). The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are ( 13 ) to be in intelligence. Thus ( 14 ) we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of ( 15 ) will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two ( 16 ) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, ( 17 ) have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now ( 18 ) we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We would soon ( 19 ) differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that ( 20 ) as well as birth plays a part.1. A. wise B. intelligent C. bright D. stupid=D2. A. By no means B.

Vitamins are a group of substances found in food. The body needs them for life and health. So ( 1 ), many people are concerned ( 2 ) the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the ( 3 ) kind?Even though very small ( 4 ) of each vitamin are enough for the ( 5 ) of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has to do ( 6 ) their diet---the food they take in. A person eating a good ( 7 ) of foods get all the vitamins now ( 8 ) to be needed.The problem is that there are many people ( 9 ) don’t choose foods wisely. So the answer ( 10 ) this question is: No ( 11 ) vitamins are needed, ( 12 ) you eat proper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be ( 13 ) in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even ( 14 ) to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true ( 15 ) vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken ( 16 ).What foods supply what vitamins? Here is a quick ( 17 ) idea. Vitamin A for the ( 18 ) of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which ( 19 ) the nervous and digestive ( 20 ) and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. VitaminB2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.1.

Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.=CA. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.=DA.

The reason why someone has to divide his vacation into several parts is that ___.=AA. no one can be found to take his placeB. he hasn’t a most high positionC. he plays an important role in his workD. he hasn’t been working for his company for a long time5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?=DA. Holidays in the United StatesB. Vacation in the United States.C. How do the workers spend their holidays.D. Something about the holidays and vacation in the U.S..82.Why don’t birds get lost in their long migratory flights? Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly at night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the star in their long-distance flights.One such bird---a warbler(鸣禽)---had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under the natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warbler, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark t o see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.1.

Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn’t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one on your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable, especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.1. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?=DA. He should find an excuse.B. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say “Sorry”.D. He should telephone to explain his being late.2. “It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable.” “Bad manners: means ___.=CA. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful3. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?=AA. Social Customs and BehaviorB. Social lifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important4. According to the text, the best host ___.=AA. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish。
《英语B1》阅读理解81.Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.A. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.A.

The first great invention was that is still very important today --- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel.Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much anymore. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, sound movies in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over disease. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live long lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The world is known to man but the stars are yet. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away form earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.1. ___ inventions had had as much effect as the wheel before the 19th century.A. Quite a number ofB. SomeC. FewD. Many other2. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as ___.A. the radioB. the cameraC. jet planesD. the movies3. People can live longer lives because ___ to help cure diseases have worked very well.A. doctorsB. new methodsC. medicinesD. new hospitals4. This passage talks mainly about ___.A. how inventions affect people’s livesB. when the electric light was inventedC. which country made the first step into spaceD. why cars were very important5. We can safely come to the conclusion that people’s lives will be made even better through ___.A. new discoveriesB. greater inventionsC. better ways to help get over diseasesD. all of the above85.The whole body is covered with skin. The surface of the skin is dead (like the hair and nails), but it is made from a living layer just under the surface. The outside dead layers wear off all the time, with new ones replacing them, and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks.The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes in information from the outside. It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature. Bacteria (germs) cannot get in through the skin unless it is damaged.If the weather is cold, the blood vessels on the skin squeeze (挤压) down, or contract, so that aslittle blood as possible comes near the surface. This means that less warmth is lost to the outside. This makes the skin look pale, or even “blue”. At the same time, the hairs on the skin are pulled upright by tiny muscles.When it is hot, the blood vessels expand, or get wider again, to allow plenty of blood to run near the surface of the skin. This helps the body to loose heat, and the skin may look red. At the same time, The sweat glands produce more sweat, which cools the skin down.If the skin has ever been numb, you will realize how important the feeling from the skin is. Nerves in the skin are sensitive to heat and cold, sharpness, hardness and softness, wetness and dryness and pain. If one is not able to feel these things, which can act as warning, he is likely to be burned, cut or hurt in other ways.The color of the skin depends on special color cells. These are just below the top layers of the skin. They are needed as protection from some of the harmful rays of the sun. The stronger the sun, the more important it is to have a dark skin. People with pale skins may “tan(晒黑)” in the sun. This happens when the body produces extra color cells in the skin for protection. In the sun, the skin produces a vitamin (vitamin D) which is needed for strong bones.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not trueA. There is skin all over one’s body.B. The skin of one’s body will be completely different in three weeks.C. The surface of the skin is made of a living layerD. One’s hair and nails are dead.2. The second paragraph of the passage mainly talks about.A. the functions of the skinB. the temperature of the skinC. the information from the skinD. the water in one’s body3. When will bacteria get in through the skinA. When one is ill.B. When the bacteria are strong enough.C. When the skin is cut.D. When the temperature is very low.4. When the weather is cold, the skin will contract in order toA. make more blood come near the surface.B. keep warmth.C. make the skin look pale.D. help the body lose heat.5. The color of the skin is determined by.A. the top layers of the skin.B. vitamin DC. the rays of the sunD. color cells.86.Many of the world’s pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase in human population continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm. Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as“population pollution”.About 2,000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930, the population was two billion. It was three and a half billion by 1980. It doubled by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there would be25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now!Man has been using the earth’s resources more and more rapidly over the years. Some of them are almost gone. Now many people believe that man’s greatest problem is how to control the growth of his own population. The materials in the world will not support the human population, in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in the cities and hunger in some countries. Can man’s rate of increase continue Many people believe that human survival in the future depends on the answer to this question.1. The world’s pollution problems would be less serious ifA. fewer people moved from countryside to the cities.B. More people moved from countryside to the cities.C. Industry developed less fast.D. Many people moved to the cities without the fast development of industry.2. The increasing move to the cities of the people is thought to beA. city pollutionB. population pollutionC. countryside pollutionD. industry pollution3. In 1850 the population in the world wasA. 250 millionB. 1,000millionC. 200 millionD. 2,000million4. In the year 2000, the world population wasA. 350 millionB. 25,000 millionC. 4,000 millionD. 7,000 million5. The most serious problem man is facing is thought to beA. The using of the earth’s resources.B. The control over the waste of the natural materials.C. How to slow down the increase of population.D. How to stop the birth of new babies.87. While flying in space, astronauts have no weight. It is a condition of weightlessness. How does this affect their heart and blood vessels What happens to their hearts and blood vessels when they go into spaceOn earth gravity (引力) makes blood flow down towards the feet, so the heart must work to pump blood up. In space blood flows up towards the heart. The effect is similar to what happens when you lie with your feet up and your head down. The flowing blood is felt by receptors in the walls of arteries (动脉) in the upper part of the body and in the heart. These receptors send signals to the brain, but the brain reads them incorrectly. To the brain, the signals means the amount of blood in the body has increased, so the brain tells other parts of the body to react to the increase in the blood. For example, the body produces more urine (尿液), resulting in loss of body fluid and salt. At the same time the astronaut has less desire to drink and so does not replace the lost fluid.As a spacecraft begins to fall back to earth atmosphere, the crew begins to feel gravity. Blood again flows towards the feet and collects there. The heart beats faster in an effort to pump enough blood to the brain. Some crew members may not get enough blood to the brain and the heart beats too fast. They become sick and even lose consciousness as their spacecraft reentersthe earth atmosphere. To prevent this, special clothing is invited for astronauts to prevent blood collecting in their legs. They put it on just before the craft reenters the earth’s atmosphere. They also drink about a liter (升) of water and eat some salt to replace the fluid they have lost while in space.Weightlessness affects the heart and blood vessels in another way. The heart does not work as hard in a weightless environment as it does in an environment of gravity. When the heart works less hard, the heart muscles become weaker. It is replaced by fibrous tissue and fat.1. If one lies with his feet up and his head down on earth, hisA. heart will pump the blood up to the head.B. blood will flow down towards the feet.C. heart will have to work harder.D. blood will flow up towards the heart.2. What can we infer from the second paragraph of the passageA. The brain reads the signals incorrectly because it tends to go wrong in outer spaceB. In space an astronaut should drink some water even when he does not feel thirsty.C. In space the amount of water in the body of an astronaut increase.D. The receptors in the walls of arteries often send wrong signals to the brain.3. When the spacecraft reenters the earth’s atmosph ere some astronauts become sick or even lose consciousness becauseA. their brains cannot get enough bloodB. their hearts are not strong enoughC. their blood collects in their feetD. they begin to feel the gravity again4. When the spacecraft enter the earth’s atmosphere, the astronauts should do the following exceptA. drinking some water.B. eating some saltC. putting on special clothingD. trying to regain their consciousness5. After a long time in space, an astronaut’s heart muscles become weak er becauseA. the heart works too hard under an environment of weightlessness.B. they are completely replaced by fibrous tissue and fat.C. they are short of exercises when the heart works less hard.D. the astronaut’s hard work puts too great a burden on the heart.88. What will man be like in the future---in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is changing slowly all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brain a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brain more and more---and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely thatman’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald!Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spit of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.1. Future man is likely to be different from usA. in almost every wayB. in quite a few waysC. in great many waysD. in one or two ways2. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that heA. began to change five years agoB. never stops changingC. never stops growingD. has recently begun to change3. People’s heads will eventually grow larger. This is because their brainsA. will grow faster than at presentB. will be in constant useC. will play an important partD. will need more room than at present4. Future man will probablyA. have bigger eyesB. get weaker eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses5. future man’s hair willA. grow darkerB. stop growing completelyC. fall out more oftenD. get longer89. Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids. The pyramids stand huge and silent, and in modern days, people look at them and wonder, “Who built them Why When What is inside How did they do it”Thousands of years ago, certain kings of Egypt built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. Some pyramids were for queens, but they are less interesting because they are not as big as those of the kings!The oldest pyramid that we know today is the pyramid near Sakara in Egypt. It is about 5000 years old.There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of them taller than a person. It is about 144 meters high. Inside the pyramid are the burial rooms for the king and queen and long passage ways to these rooms. The rest of the pyramid is made of solid stones.Workers usually built the pyramids when they had little or no work to do on their farms. To buildthe pyramid of Khufu, 100,000 men worked for twenty years.We know there are wonderful treasures in the pyramids. Robbers have dug into some of the pyramids and taken many of these treasures. However, today some of the treasures are in museums.How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids How did they carry and lift upwards the huge stones Each stone fits in with one another so well though they didn’t have our modern machine at all! The ancient art work of Egypt give us the idea of a miracle. Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how they did it.1. What is this passage mainly aboutA. How ancient tombs were built in Egypt.B. Some of the most interesting buildings in the world.C. Egyptian Kings and their wives.D. The oldest pyramid near Sakara in Egypt.2.

According to the passage, we...A. have known a lot about the pyramids.B. know nothing about these ancient tombs.C. can’t say just how these pyramids were built.D. know quite well how ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.90.Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods. Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire(帝国). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers' children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soilup, allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood.1. That trees can help to prevent droughts and floods isA. not as important as the other services.B. as important as the other services.C. not importantD. more important than any other services.2. People cut trees down in large numbers so that they found thatA. they lost the best friends they had.B. their best friends lost tree.C. their best friends drew quick profit.D. their best friends died.3. Two thousand years ago, the soil of a rich country became hard and poor, becauseA. it fell to pieces.B. it was faced with floods.C. it cut down its trees to build warships.D. it was faced with starvation.4. It is difficult for a government to persuade the villagersA. to make charcoalB. to realize the importance of treesC. to carry wood to the townD. to cook the food with wood5. According to the passage we know that trees canA. prevent the rain from falling on the ground.B. cause great floods.C. have the rich top-soil carried away.D. prevent the soil from being washed away easily.答案81. 1-5 CDDAD82. 1-5 BDDCB83. 1-5 DCAAC84. 1-5 CCBAD85. 1-5 CACBD86. 1-5 ABBDC87. 1-2 DBBDC88. 1-5 BBBCB89. 1-5 BACDC90. 1-5 DACBD。

It cost about $ 2,400. At first, it was called New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers. Later it was renamed New York by the English.The city grew rapidly. There were several reasons for this, but the most important one is its location. New York is situated on the best American harbor on the Atlantic Ocean. It also lies on the Hudson River, which allows water transportation into the middle of the United States.Today New York has a population of approximately eight million. The city has groups from many races. It is famous for its Chinatown. It also has the largest Jewish population of any city outside Israel. After the blacks were released from slavery, a large number of them moved into cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. More recently, people from Puerto Rico have done the same thing.New York is made up of five boroughs(行政区). The Bronx is the only one located on themainland, with Brooklyn, Richmond, and Queens being on islands. It is a large manufacturing center because factories can be located near good water transportation. Two of the main businesses are the clothing industry and the printing industry. Most large publishing companies have their headquarters there.6.Manhattan was bought by Peter Minuit.A.TB.F答案:A7.The Indians named the city New York.A.TB.F答案:B8.New York grows so rapidly, because of its people.A.TB.F答案:B9.New York borough Bronx is not on an island.A.TB.F答案:A10.The printing industry and the clothing industry are two of the main businesses of New York.A.TB.F答案:AIn 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 pm. 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 different 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, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.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 late, 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.答案:B12.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.答案:B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案:B14.Which of the following statements 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.No misunderstandings arise between people from 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.答案:D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in 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.答案:B三、词汇与语法16.Chinese is spoken by the _____number of people in the world.A.smallestB.mostrgestD.wide答案:C17.I thought that honesty _______ the best policy.A.wasB.isC.wereD.be答案:B18.- Do you want to wait?- Five days ________ too long for me to wait.A.wasB.wereC.isD.are答案:C19.He _______ lives in the house where he was born.A.alreadyB.yetC.stillD.ever答案:C20.The young lady coming over to us _____ our English teacher; the way she walks tells us that!A.must beB.can beC.would beD.could be答案:A四、完型填空There was a woman in Detroit, who had two sons.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food ( 1 ) it is badly cooked. The ( 2 ) a meal is cooked and served is the most important and an ( 3 ) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child ( 4 ) he likes or dislikes a food and never ( 5 ) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow ( 6 ) else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother ( 7 ) vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is ( 8 ) to copy this procedure. Take it ( 9 ) granted that he likes everything and he probably ( 10 ). Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a ( 11 ) dislike. At meal times it is a good ( 12 ) to give a child a small portion and let him ( 13 ) back for a second helping rather than give him as ( 14 ) as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child ( 15 ) meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not ( 16 ) him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will ( 17 ) learn to swallow his food ( 18 ) he can hurry back to his toys.

For those who do want a ( 3 ) of their own, opportunities are limited, and working women usually have to ( 4 ) for lower wages, fewer promotions, less responsible ( 5 ).In America, on the other hand, most women, ( 6 ) wives and mothers, work most of theirlives, but ( 7 ), few have had real careers.

Yet, the ( 1 ) phenomenon of race consists of a few surface indications.We judge race usually ( 2 ) the coloring of the skin: a white race, a brown race, a yellow race and a black race. But ( 3 ) you were to remove the skin,you could not ( 4 ) anything about the race to which the individual belonged. There is ( 5 ) in physical structure, the brain or the internal organs to ( 6 ) a difference.There are four types of blood. ( 7 ) types are found in every race, and no type is distinct to any race. Human brains are the ( 8 ). No scientists could examine a brain and tell you therace to which the individual belonged. Brains will ( 9 ) in size, but this occurs within every race.( 10 ) does size have anything to do with intelligence. The largest brain ( 11 ) examined belonged to a person of weak ( 12 ). On the other hand, some of our most distinguished people have had ( 13 ) brains.Mental tests which are reasonably ( 14 ) show how no differences in intelligence between races. High and low test results both can be recorded by different members of any race. ( 15 ) equal educational advantages, there will be no difference in average standings, either on account of race or geographical(地理的)location.Individuals of every race ( 16 ) civilization to go backward or forward. Training and education can change the response of a group of people, ( 17 ) enable them to behave in a ( 18 ) way.The behaviors and ideals of people change according to circumstances, but they can always go back or go on to something new ( 19 ) is better and higher than anything ( 20 ) the past.D.1.

( 3 ) some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no ( 4 ) of special education can make a genius ( 5 ) a child born with low intelligence. ( 6 ), a child who lives in a boring environment will ( 7 ) his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and ( 8 ) surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, ( 9 ) whether or nothe reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This ( 10 ), now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.( 11 ) is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born ( 12 ). The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are ( 13 ) to be in intelligence. Thus ( 14 ) we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of ( 15 ) will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two ( 16 ) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, ( 17 ) have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now ( 18 ) we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We would soon ( 19 ) differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that ( 20 ) as well as birth plays a part.D.1. A. wise B. intelligent C. bright D. stupidC.2. A. By no means B.

So ( 1 ), many people are concerned ( 2 ) the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the ( 3 ) kindEven though very small ( 4 ) of each vitamin are enough for the ( 5 ) of the body, the worry people have about vitamins has some basis. And this has to do ( 6 ) their diet---the food they take in. A person eating a good ( 7 ) of foods get all the vitamins now ( 8 ) to be needed.The problem is that there are many people ( 9 ) don’t choose foods wisely. So the answer( 10 ) this question is: No ( 11 ) vitamins are needed, ( 12 ) you eat proper foods. In fact, many of the vitamins cannot be ( 13 ) in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even ( 14 ) to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true ( 15 ) vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken ( 16 ).What foods supply what vitamins Here is a quick ( 17 ) idea. Vitamin A for the ( 18 ) of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which ( 19 ) the nervous and digestive ( 20 ) and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. VitaminB2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats.

Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends--- that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United States, called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home andcelebrate with their family.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replaceyou. In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for vacation.1. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ___ weekend almost once a month.A. 1-dayB. 2-dayC. 3-dayD. 4-day2. Workers in the United States sometimes work from___.A.

The reason why someone has to divide his vacation into several parts is that ___.A. no one can be found to take his placeB. he hasn’t a most high positionC. he plays an important role in his workD. he hasn’t been working for his company for a long time5. Which of the following is the best title for this passageA. Holidays in the United StatesB. Vacation in the United States.C. How do the workers spend their holidays.D. Something about the holidays and vacation in the U.S..82.Why don’t birds get lost in their long migratory flights Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re be ginning to fill in the blanks.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly at night Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the star in their long-distance flights.One such bird---a warbler(鸣禽)---had spent its lifetime in a cage and never flown under the natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warbler, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. What do they do when the stars are hidden byclouds Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their bearings.1. The reason why birds don’t get lost in migratory flightsA. have been known to scientists for years .B. have only recently been discovered.C. are known by everyone.D. will probably remain a mystery.2. The experiment with the warbler indicated thatA. birds have to be taught to navigate.?B. a bird that has been caged will not migrate.C. some birds cannot fly at night.D. some birds seem instinctively to follow the star when flying at night.3. Under artificial stars, the bird in the cageA. tried to fly in the same direction as birds not caged .B. changed direction when the position of the stars was changed.C. would not fly at all.D. both A and B.4. Warblers migrateA. from North American to the Falkland Islands.B. only once during their lifetime.C. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability.D. when they are freed from their cages.5. This article is a good example of the way scientistsA. jump to conclusion.?B. discover workable answers to general questions by studying particular cases.C. formulate a law and then carry out investigation.D. are frustrated by the habits of animals.83. Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country Or doesn’t it matter What about table manners Should you use both hands when you are eating Should you leave one on your lap, or on the tableThe Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest e ither arrives close to。
