He was in a hurry to get a good seat. Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day. Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try. When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a verybig and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English. 21.

Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap — only $400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didn’t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stoppedand warned her, “Don’t buy from him. He’s not an honest man. He’s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I’m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they tookone of the diamonds to a jeweler — one who sells diamonds andthe like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang thatit was real. He said it cost around $900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him $400. Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How muchwill it cost to fix these on a ring?” The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that? These are just glass.”“But you told me just now they were diamonds.”“Thefirst stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran outof the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back.

It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In theold days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize thata dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obeyhis master. For exle, when people used dogs for hunting, thedog would not eat what was caught without permission. But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacksof animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogsto protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for panionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dogis their child when they have no children. For old couples, adog is also their child when their real children have grown up.So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship. 31. According to the passage, in theold days people trained dogs _______ . A. for protection against robbery B. just for fun C. for panionship D. for protection against other animals 32. The word “panionship” in Paragraph2 means _______. A. worship B. treasure C. friendly relationship D. partnership 33. The dogs were used for hunting because ________ . A. they were good hunters B. they obeyed their masters C. they were useful for protection D. they didnot eat other animals 34. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _______. A. they need panion B. they like children C. they enjoy hunting D. they want to protect themselves 35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A. dogs can be helpful to those who need pany B. city people always feel lonely C. dogs can be interesting D. the city can be a very dangerous place Passage 5 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 municate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be bined 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 thing they bring up before our minds. Words bee 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. 36. The origin of language is _______. A.a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hiddenor secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problemnot yet solved 37. What is true about words? A. They are usedto express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds. D. They are mysterious. 38. Thereal power of words lies in their _______. A. properties B. characteristics C. peculiarity D. representative function 39. By “association”, the author means _______. A.a special quality B. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature 40. Whichof 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. Passage 6 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care whenI broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides theirreal meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “you’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit putsyou down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck. How can you tell the real meaningbehind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake. 41. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________. A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him B. feels he may not have “read”his friends’ true feelings correctly C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen D. is sorry that his friends let him down 42. In the second paragraph, the author uses the exle of “You’re a lucky dog” to show that________.A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB. this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word “dog”shouldn＇t be used to apply to people 43. This passage tries to tell you how to________. A. avoid mistakes about money and friends B. bring the “dog” bit into our conversation C. keep people friendly without trusting them D. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you 44. In listening to a person, the important thing is________. A. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture B. to listen to how he pronounces his words C. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes D. not to believe what he says 45. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would________.A. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to you Passage7 An employer has several choices he can consider when he wants to hire a new employee. First, he may look within his own pany. But if none of the present employees are suitable for the position, he will have to look outside the pany. If his pany has a personnel office, he can ask them to help find qualified applicants. There are other valuable sources the employer can use, such as employment agencies, professional societies and so on. He can also advertise in the newspapers and magazines and ask prospective candidates to send in resumes. The employer has two kinds of qualifications to consider when he wants to choose from among applicants. He must consider both professional qualifications and personal characteristics. A candidate’s professional qualifications include his education, experience and skills. These can be listed on a resume. Personal characteristics must be evaluated through interviews. 46. This passage mainly tells us _______. A. how applicants look for a job B. how an employer hires his employees C. how an employer hires a new employee within his pany D. how an employer can advertise in newspapers and magazines 47. The word “prospective” may mean _______. A. ordinary B. outstanding C. expected D. qualified 48. When an employer wants to hire a new employee, he will consider _______. A. the employee’s professional qualifications B. the employee’s personalities C. the employee’s education and family background D. both A and B 49. “ Professional qualifications” does not include ______. A. good health B. skills C. experience D. education 50. We can conclude that a candidate who _____ is in a better position to be hired. A. has worked for two months B. has hadcollege education C. is getting training D. is fond of sports Passage 8 Man has learned many exciting things from the instruments that he has sent into space in rockets. Thermometers have measured temperatures. Barometers have measured pressure. Cameras have taken pictures. But none of these things really satisfies man. He wants to see space for himself. So, some countries like America and Russia began to train astronauts in 1960s and have sent them into space successfully. The training is hard and the project is big. Later there were even animals such as monkeys, mice and chimpanzees that made the trip into space, too. The time has not e for families to go on space trips but today nobody thinks that such things are impossible. Everyone knows we will have them someday and may have them sooner than we think. Man feels excited when he thinks about the future. He will someday step into a rocket and rise from the earth. But he will land somewhere else.

Often the parents are not at work. Having worked a five-day week from Monday to Friday, Saturdays are a busy time for shops with many families going shopping. Sundays used to be a very special day of the week in Britain. It was the one day of the week for “worship and rest”. The shops were closed and most people were at home or at church. Popular leisure activities on Sunday used to be going to church and doing odd jobs around the home such as gardening and DIY. Until a few years ago shops were not permitted to open on a Sunday. Sundays today are being like any other day other week with shops open. Some families will now spend their time shopping rather than going to church or they will bine the two activities. Britain is being a far less Christian country with fewer people regularly attending Church. Many Christians believe that Sunday should be kept special, as a time given to worshipping God.

P a r t O n e R e a d i n g C o m p r e h e n s i o nDirections: There are 8 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet by blackening the letter.Passage 1When we talk about intelligence we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the a\ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows to do.For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can do, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it all works out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook in life, a special feeling about life, and a special way of how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference between what we call “bright”children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life—he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.1. According to this passage, intelligence is the ability to .A) work by oneself B) do well in any situationC) know what is right and wrong D) adapt oneself to a new situation2. In a new situation, an intelligent personA) knows more about what might happen to himB) is well-prepared for his actionC) pays greater attention to the situationD) completely ignores himself3. If an intelligent person failed, he wouldA) feel ashamed about the failureB) learn from his experiencesC) find out what he can’t doD) make sure what’s wrong with his outlook in life4. An intelligent childA) learns more about himselfB) shows interest in things around himC) studies everything that may be interestingD) looks down upon unintelligent children5. Why does an unintelligent child seem to have a wall between him and life in general?A) Because he can hardly see the outside worldB) Because life is far away from himC) Because he knows nothing about life in generalD) Because he has little interest in things around himselfPassage 2When I begin to look back on all friends whom I have had, I quickly came to the conclusion that Jerry wasthe most important and had the greatest effect upon my life. His family moved to my block when I was only 10. Jerry was 15 at the time, but the fact that he was so much older than me seemed to make no difference to him. I was very glad that ht liked me. We took long walks together, on which he would tell me stories he had heard from TV and radio programs.But as months went by, a change came into our friendship. Jerry almost stopped coming by the house, and every time I went to his house or telephoned, he put me off with some excuses such as “I’m studying now” or “I’ve got some jobs to do for Mum”. When we passed on the street, he would still give me a warm smile and friendly wave with a “Hi, kid”, but he would hardly ever stop to talk. Finally I realized that he was no longer interested in me and that his taste hand changed. I noticed him with a girl once n a while and several times saw him going out in his family’s car on a Friday or Saturday night. I simply couldn’t understand what was so great about girls and parties.But I was hurt when he finally made me know that our friendship was at an end. Of course he didn’t really meant to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized that it was an age problem that caused the break. There were a world of differences between the ideas and interests of a 17-year-old and a 12-year-old. Now that I’m over sixteen myself, I realized this, and the hurt I got then has become happy memories of the good times we were once together. I wonder if millions of other boys and girls have had a similar experience.1. When the writer and Jerry first met, Jerry was .A) 10 years old B) 5 years older than the writerC) of the same age as the writer D) the writer’s classmate2. Their friendship lasted forA) a few years B) a few weeks C) a few months D) a few hours3. Jerry stopped playing with the writer becauseA) the writer had changed B) he was busy with his studyC) he has some jobs to do D) he was not interested in the writer4. When a change came in their friendship, the writerA) accepted it at once B) couldn’t understand his friend for a long timeC) stopped visiting his friend D) started going to parties with girls5. The main idea of the passage is thatA) the age difference plays a part in friendshipB) friendship is the most important thing for childrenC) many boys and girls have a similar experience as the writerD) “friendship are made in wine and tested in tears”Passage 3Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It did n’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with adream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant toA) warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB) advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC) show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD) encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A) Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB) A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effortsC) Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD) The chances for writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B) He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C) He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D) He thought that he lacked imagination4. “…people who die wondering: What if?” (Line 4, Para.3) refers to “thoseA) who think too much of the dark side of lifeB) who regret giving up their career halfwayC) who think a lot without making a decisionD) who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers toA) the wonderland one often dreams aboutB) the bright future that one is looking forward toC) the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD) a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 4It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gestures and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.1. By “…challenges explanation” (Line 2, Para. 1) the author means thatA) no explanation has been made up till nowB) it’s no easy job to provide an adequate explanationC) no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenonD) it’s high time that an explanation was provided2. The third paragraph is mainly aboutA) the development of babies’ early forms of languageB) the difficulties of babies in learning to speak.C) babies’ strong desire to communicateD) babies’ intention to communicate3. The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that childrenA) usually obey without asking questionsB) are passive in the process of learning to speakC) are born cooperativeD) learn to speak by listening4. From the passage we learn thatA) early starters can learn to speak within only six monthsB) children show a strong desire to communicate by making noisesC) imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD) children have various difficulties in learning to speak5. The best title for this passage would beA) How Babies Learn to Speak B) Early Forms of LanguageC) A Huge Task for Children D) Noise Making and Language LearningPassage 5It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land fro Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position.1. Originally, the purpose of a dowry is to .A) give a woman the right to receive all her husband’s propertyB) help a woman to enjoy a higher position in the familyC) protect a woman against the risk of desertionD) both A and C2. According to the passage, the legal status of the wife in marriage was ______.A) higher than that of a single woman B) higher than that of her husbandC) lower than that of her husband D) the same as that of her husband3. Why does the author give us the example of Maria Vivas?A) To show that the wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal propertyB) To show that the wife can defend her own inheritanceC) To prove that women have powerful positionD) To illustrate how women win their property4. The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is ______.A) some of the land Miro had inherited B) a tenth of Miro’s landC) money for household expenses D) money form Miro’s inheritance5. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ______.A) sympathetic B) disapprovalC) indifferent D) objectivePassage 6Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.

The best title for this passage would beA) How Babies Learn to Speak B) Early Forms of LanguageC) A Huge Task for Children D) Noise Making and Language LearningPassage 8Dam is a barrier constructed across a stream or river to impound water and raise its level. The most common reasons for building dams are to concentrate the natural fall of a river at a given site, thus making it possible to generate electricity; to direct water from rivers into canals and irrigation and water-supply systems; to increase river depths for navigational purposes; to control water flow during times of flood and drought; andto create artificial lakes for recreational use. Many dams fulfill several of these functions. In the United States the network of dams under the Tennessee Valley Authority is an outstanding example of a multipurpose dam development.The first dam of which record exists was built about 4000 BC to divert the Nile in Egypt in order to provide a site for the city of Memphis. Many ancient earth dams, including a number built by the Babylonians, were part of elaborate irrigation systems that transformed unproductive regions into fertile plains capable of supporting large populations. Because of the ravages of periodic floods, very few dams more than a century old are still standing. The construction of virtually indestructible dams of appreciable height and storage capacity became possible after the development of Portland cement concrete and the mechanization of earth-moving and materials-handling equipment.Controlling and using water by means of dams profoundly affects the economic prospects of vast areas.

The child’s body was not found for three hours. Two of the rescuers, Liu Ye and Hao Longbiao, also died of cold and exhaustion.The body of Hao who took the lead in jumping into the lake was not found until the next day.A student who was unwilling to tell his name said he and his classmates from the local college were taking photos at the lake. When they heard the children’s cries for help, they went to the ice hole hand in hand to rescue the children. But the ice kept breaking, causing most of them to fall into icy water.Local residents held mourning ceremonies at the lake.Eight of the students were seriously affected by the freezing water and were being kept in hospital for further observation, but their lives were no longer in danger.36. The underlined word “occurred” here means “__________”.A. employedB. mixedC. guidedD. happened37. When the three students fell into water, the university students were __________.A. skating on the iceB. taking photos at the lakeC. having a picnicD. walking along the lake38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Three students died on the same day in all.B. Hao Longbiao’s body was found on December 14, 2002.C. The university students didn’t think it dangerous to save the drowning children in the lake.D. Local residents were not brave in face of danger.39.

The author wrote the passage to __________.A. warn people of the danger of skating on iceB. call on people to learn from the brave university studentsC. tell us a tragedyD. advise university students to cherish their livesPassage 3The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.41. A small population may mean __________.A. higher productivity, but a lower average incomeB. lower productivity, but a higher average incomeC. lower productivity, and a lower average incomeD. higher productivity, and a higher average income42. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing __________.A. agricultureB. transport systemC. industryD. national economy43. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate__________.A. goes upB. is decreasingC. remains stableD. is out of control44. According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for __________.A. a developing nationB. a developed nationC. every nation with a big populationD. every nation with a small nation45. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because __________.A. there too many underdeveloped countries in the worldB. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial developmentC. different governments have different views of the questionD. even developed countries may have complex problemsIV.
