I am not talking only about the times when you see her at school. She often has a book with her when she is shopping , riding in the car , going to see relatives, or doing just about anything where there might be an opportunity ( 机会) to read . Now , you might think Sally is a bookworm (书呆子) , but that would not be accurate because she also enjoys spending a lot of time with her friends and doing lots of different things . Very simply put , books are one of Sally’s main hobbies .People practice their hobbies in many different ways .Some people like to collect stamps , others like to listen to music or go to the movies , and still others like to travel and visit new places . Sally likes to read books --- many different kinds of books. When she finds a good book in the library , she usually borrows it to investigate (研究) more deeply . She also likes to go to a large bookstore near her home, where she can see all kinds of new books and sometimes buy one that she likes.Sally’s love of books has made it a lot easier for her to do well in school because, after all, you do have to read a lot of books in your classes. When Sally gets an assignment and has to read a chapter, it almost seems like she is practicing her hobby . The books she uses in her classes are written very clearly and are really quite interesting. The only different thing is that sometimes she has to do a written exercise for homework. To Sally that seems like a small price to pay for the opportunity to read another book about something new and interesting.

I need to know from the very start that you are someone I can trust to represent my company and me. How do you establish that trust? Simple. At the very beginning of the interview, when the introductions are being made, concentrate on looking directly and solidly into the interviewers’ eyes, giving them your sweetest and most endearing smile. I tend to think of it as a “shy smile”. The bottom lin e is to make it a warm and friendly smile. Then think about the fact that you are truly pleased to be there in the presence of this person. Establish that personal connection both physically and mentally with the interviewer.How do you know when the connection is made? When they return your smile in a comfortable, relaxed manner, you are connected and ready to communicate on a personal level. Remember, I only hire people I am comfortable with. If the connection is not made, I won’t hire. So take the time t o establish that personal connection.6. Which of the following is the most important factor for you to get the job?A) To wear formally and tidily.B) To prepare a good paper and all the materials needed.C) To present myself as well as possible.D) To make a personal connection with the interviewer.7.

How do you know when the personal connection is made?A) When the interviewer asks the questions with a smile.B) When the interviewer smiles during the whole interview.C) When the interviewee smiles during the whole interview.D) When the interviewer returns the interviewee’s smile in a comfortable, relax manner.10.Which of the following would be the most proper title of the passage?A) How to Establish Personal Connection in an InterviewB) What You Should Do in an InterviewC) How an Interviewee Can Be HiredD) The Role of Personal CommunicationTask 3 (10%)Directions:Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.The entertainment profession, or “show business”, attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in his business, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his “act” in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.“Pop” stands for “ popular”, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becauseeverything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the“fans”. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes they get so crazy that they do anything to get a “souvenir”. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.11. How many of the young can hope to become famous?A) Nobody. B) Only very few.C) The majority of them. D) All of them.12. Which of the following is the key element to become a successful performer?A) The age. B) Education background.C) A wealthy family. D) A good manager.13. Why must a pop singer work harder when he has become famous?A) To sell more records. B) To follow the taste of the moment.C) To stay popular. D) To attract the public’s attention.14. It may be inferred from this passage that_______ .A) a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fansB) some people become pop singers by chanceC) a pop singer sometimes is unwilling to meet peopleD) pop singers have to smile all the time15. A suitable title for this passage might be_______ .A) “The Entertainment Profession” B) “How to Become a Pop Singer”C) “A Pop Singer’s Life” D) “The Pop Singer”Task 4 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.Dear Sir or Madam,The ABC Company was established in 2006 and in four short years has become one of the most successful companies in the market place.

It was obviously a wrong number.But they kept her on the phone for nearly an hour as she drifted in and out of consciousness（知觉）, reaching from New York City to Virginia to save her life.The strange connection was made on January 27 when the 55-year-old woman, misdialed and rang the J. Streicher Company, a securities lending firm where Hartley and Philber work in sales.“She asked to speak to Liz and I got on the phone,” said Hartley, 48, of Ruther-ford, New Jersey. Right away, she knew the woman was in trouble. Hartley signaled her co-worker to pick up the phone. For the next 45 minutes, they listened and tried to give comfort as the woman, often incoherent because of the combination of alcohol(酒精) and pills police said she had swallowed, told them about her spoiled life.Ms Philbert made her believe that she was “Liz,” and told her she loved her.She managed to get the woman’s name, address and telephone number and kept her talking while Hartley called police in Hampton, Virginia.The woman, who was semiconscious when police arrived, would likely have died if not for the two women, said Sergeant Jeff Walden, a Hampton police spokesman. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) Why did the woman ring up J.

Part II Reading Comprehension (30 points) Section A Directions: There are two 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 with a single line through the center. Passage One As people generally use the word “honor ” they do not do so in the context of thinking about moral virtue. As a result they often confuse honor with fame. A virtuous person is an honorable person, a person who ought to be honored by the community in which he or she lives. But the virtuous person does not seek honor, being secure in his or her own self-respect. Lack of honor does not detract from the efficacy of moral virtue as an operative factor in the pursuit of happiness —as a means to leading a good human life. Virtuous persons may be considered fortunate if their virtue is recognized and publicly applauded. Persons lacking moral virtue can achieve fame as readily as, or perhaps more easily than, those who have a high degree of moral virtue. Fame belongs to the great, the outstanding, and the exceptional, without regard to their virtue or lack of it. Infamy is fame, no less than popularity. The great scoundrel can be as famous as the great hero. There can be famous villains as well as famous saints. Existing in the reputation a person has, regardless of his or her accomplishments, fame does not tarnish as honor does when it is unmerited. We normally desire the esteem of our fellow human beings, but is not this wish for the esteem of others a desire for fame rather than for honor? A virtuous person will not seek fame or be unhappy for lack of it. For fame can be enjoyed by bad men and women, as well as good. When it is enjoyed by virtuous persons without being sought by them, it is not distinguishable from honor, for then it is deserved. 31. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. A virtuous person achieves both honor and fame. B. A virtuous person does not seek honor or fame. C. Honor and fame are different concepts. D. Honor and fame are not distinguishable. 32. A virtuous person leads a good human life by means of _________. A. presuming happiness B. achieving moral virtue C. seeking honor D. seeking fame 33. What tends to tarnish with time? A. The reputation a person has. B. A high degree of moral virtue. C. A person ’s accomplishments. D. Honor that is undeserved. 34. Fame differs from honor in that _______. A. bad men and women can enjoy fame B. the great people can enjoy fame C. fame can fade in color D. virtuous persons will not seek fame 35. Which of the following statements is TURE? A. A virtuous person deserves honor. B. A famous person deserves honor. C. A virtuous person is publicly identified. D. A famous person has great accomplishments. Passage Two If you want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children. But how you say it can be quite tricky. If you s ay to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …”, what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology. Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.院系：班级： 姓名：学号：考场地点装订线Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a parent” does not commit a person to any specific improvement. These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies. But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent’s clothes without permission is not. 36. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, _______. A. she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized B. she does not realize that the child has been hurt C. the child may find the apology easier to accept D. the child may feel that he owes her an apology 37. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “_______”. A. You have good reason to get upset B. I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame C. I apologize for hurting your feelings D. I’m at fault for making you upset 38. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because _______. A. it gets one into the habit of making empty promises B. it may make the other person feel guilty C. it is vague and ineffective D. it is hurtful and insulting 39. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _______. A. the complexities involved should be ignored B. their ages should be taken into account C. parents need to set them a good example D. parents should be patient and tolerant 40. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is _______. A. a social issue calling for immediate attention B. not necessary among family membersC. a sign of social progressD. not as simple as it seems Section B: Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the blank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Blanks 41 to 50 are based on the following passage. There are two factors which determine an individual ’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ 41 , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, a (an)42 will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor in what happens to the individual is the sort of environment in which he is 43 . If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop. And he will never 44 the level of intelligence of which he is capable. The importance of environment in determining an individual ’s intelligence can be 45 by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brain at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in 46 foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor 47 opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be 48 intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to 49 their intelligence. Mark ’s I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the 50 , and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have scored at roughly the same level.院系： 班级： 姓名：学号：考场地点装订线Part III Vocabulary and Structure (10 points) Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

But now, not only are feminist critics and historians rediscovering theheroines of the past, we have also enough real heroines around today to believe our own new dreams of power.Although Madonna’s star might be getting less bright in Britain and America, let us not underestimate her influence. Many young women used to think that being a strong, feminist, demanding woman meant that they might have to give up their claims to be sexual, funny and individualist. But here is someone who is completely in control of her life, her art, her performance. When she grabs her crotch on stage or sells a book o f pin-up pictures of herself, we can see her recreating images that have been used before only to exploit women , and using them to show women that their sexuality is something to be proud of .No wonder of Madonna’s fans are not men but young women. They are responding to this new, real possibility that they can play with fire and may not get burnt. They identify with the fat that Madonna controls all aspects of her art, rather than being the innocent victim.Another female icon whose power has swept through women’s imaginations is Margaret Thatcher. It is all very well for her to say that she does not think she woes the women’s movement anything. What is important for women, whether or not they sympathizes with her methods, politics or rhetoric, is that here was a woman who stood with the men at the G7 summits or in the British Cabinet as a leader among leaders.She is not an icon that is easy to cope with. Just as with Madonna, she goes against the grain of the most traditional images of female power. But by breaking through the male cordons of the British establishment she has made sure that never again can a woman’s ability to run a democratic country be questioned just because she is a woman.31.It can be seen from the passage that Madonna’s influence is _________.A.more and more increasingB.still great in societyC.becoming less and lessD.disappearing as time goes by32.Most of Madonna’s fans are young women because _________.A.she controls all aspects of her life and artB.she sells a book of pin-up pictures of herselfC.she grabs her crotch on stageD.she uses her pictures to show that she is sexy33.It is indicated in the passage that Margaret Thatcher __________.A.became successful because she was the only stateswoman among statesmen.B.Thinks male British leaders should have done more to help womenC.Thinks her success has nothing to do with the women’s movementD.Has donated a large sum of money to the women’s movement34.The example of Margaret Thatcher shows that __________.A.everyone should support the women’s movementB.women should learn to work together with menC.one’s ability should not be judged by sexD.women should not seek to be sexual only35.The main idea of the passage is __________.A.women have gathere d strength from the women’s movementB.women have achieved a new-found powerC.women should take careers to realize their powerD.women’s role should be in the homeReading Comprehension.(B)In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification of amber. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces”really” are. “Electricity”, Bertrand Russell says, “ is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things beh ave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved to such an ideA.Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has the ground because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.36. The aim of the controlled experiment is ___________.A. to explain why things happenB. to explain how things happenC. to form the basis of scientific investigation.D. to prove accepted theories37. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A. Thales’ speculations.B. Self-evident principles.C. Aristotle’s natural science.D. Russell’s theory on electricity.38. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is __________.A. disapproved of by most modern scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principlesC. disagreed by Galileo’s theoryD. supported by scientific investigation directed toward “how”things happen39. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea that _________.A. man can’t discover what forces “really” areB. there are mysterious forces in the universeC. there are self-evident principlesD. we can discover why things behave as they do40. According to Aristotle, that objects fall to the ground __________.A. is a result of reasoningB. could be explained from self-evident principlesC. is an instance of self-evident principleD. could be tested by experienceReading Comprehension.(C)When John Milto n, writer of“Paradise Lost”, entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word -for -word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English. As they increased their skill, they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original. The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university, he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems, which he published among his works in 1645.41．What does the passage mainly tell about?A. How John Milton wrote“ Paradise Lost”.B. How John Milton studied Latin.C. How John Milton became famous.D. How John Milton became a poet.42．Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of Latin?A. It has a strong Italian accent.B. It has an uncommon accent.C. It was natural and easy to understand.D. It was bad and difficult to understand.43．It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. Milton’s training in Latin was similar to that of the other boysB. Milton hadn’t learned any foreign languag e except Latin before going to collegeC. Milton’s Italian friends helped him with Latin when talkingD. Milton's classmates learned Latin harder but worse than Milton44．Which of the following is suggested in the passage?A. The schoolmaster mainly helped those who were bad at Latin.B. The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand.C. The schoolboys could repeat Latin grammar rules from memory.D. Some of the schoolboys were quick at writing compositions in Latin.45．What is the meaning of the underlined part“ Latin should be beaten in”that the writer wishes you to understand?A. Schoolboys should be punished if they were lazy to learn Latin.B. Schoolboys should be encouraged if they had difficulty in learning Latin.C. Schoolboys were expected to master Latin in a short time.D. Schoolboys had to study Latin in a hard way.Reading Comprehension.(D)Between about 1910 and 1930, new artistic movements in European art were making themselves felt in the United States. American artists became acquainted with the new art on their trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”( named after its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the spread of the modern movements in the United States was the sensational Armory Show of the 1913 held in New York, in which the works of many of the leading European artists were seen along with the works of a number of progressive American painters.Several of the American modernists who were influenced by the Armory Show found the urban landscape, especially New York, an appealing subject. Compared with the works of the realist painters, the works of American modernists were much further removed from the actual appearance of the city; they were more interested in the “feel “ of the city, more concerned with the meaning behind appearance. However, both the painters of the Ash Can School” and the later realists were still tied to nineteenth-century or earlier styles, while the early modernists shared in the international breakthroughs of the art of the twentieth century.The greatest of these breakthroughs was Cubism, developed most fully in France between1907 and 1914, which brought about a major revolution in Western painting. It overturned the regional tradition that had been built upon since the Renaissance. In cubism, natural forms were broken down analytically into geometric shapes. No longer was a clear differentiation made between the figure and the background of a painting: the objects represented and the surface on which they were painted became one. The Cubists abandoned the conventional single vantage point of the viewer, and objects depicted from multiple viewpoints were shown at the same way.46.What’s the main topic of the passage?A.Modern art movements in the United States.B.The great influence of Cubism.C.Several American modernists found urban landscape an appealing subject.D.Contemporary artists in the United States.47.Which of the following is not mentioned as a means through which American artists learned about new movements?A.Trips to Paris.B.Lectures by European artists.C.The exhibitions in the famous New York gallery “291”.D.The sensational Armory Show in 1913.48.What was exhibited on the sensational Armory Show of 1913 in New York?A.Works of many leading European artists as well as works of many progressive Americanpainters.B.Works of all the European artists and American painters.C.Works of a number of American modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.D.Works of European artists only.49.According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement intwentieth-century art?A. Impressionism.B. Cubism.C. The rational tradition.D. Realism.50.What do we know about Cubism?A.It made a clear differentiation between the figure and the background of a painting.B.Natural forms were broken down analytically into shape of a square.C.The object represented and the surface on which they were painted became one.D.The Cubists preserved the conventional single vantage point of the viewer.Reading Comprehension.(E)We are all familiar with magnets. The Chinese knew about them in the eleventh century. But the earth itself is also a magnet, with a magnetic North and a magnetic South.N o one really understands very much about the earth’s magnetism, although many people have written about it. Scientists believe the center of the earth is like an enormous magnet, giving out a steady magnetic force. This slowly moves away from the center and up to the surface. By the time it reaches the surface the force is really very weak.Magnetism is measured by a unit called the gauss. The earth’s magnetic force is much weaker.It measures about 0.7 gauss at the North and South Poles. The weakest point is near Rio de Janeiro at 0.3 gauss.Many scientists now believe the magnetism of the earth may have a strong influence on life itself. In the distant past many kinds of animals and plants died out suddenly, when the North and South magnetic Poles changed position.Animals, birds and even people are to some extent controlled by magnetic forces. When there is a sudden increase in magnetic strength, many animals have difficulty finding their way. Mice ,placed near a strong magnet, lose their hair and die earl y. And when the earth’s magnetism suddenly decreases, the number of men or women who kill themselves increases.How much does the earth’s magnetism control our lives? We can not know for certain. We do know this magnetism is getting weaker and we know that in 2500 years the magnetic poles may change position again. And we know when this happened in the past there were enormous changes in life on Earth.51. Which one of the following statements is true?A.The earth is a magnet with many magnetic poles.B.The earth has a very feeble magnet.C.The Chinese knew about magnets as far back as eleven centuries ago.D.It’s not clear whether the earth’s magnet has any impact on its beings.52. What is true about the center of the earth?A.Science has proved that the center of the earth is an enormous magnet.B.The center of the earth gives out a very weak magnetic force.C.The center of the earth has the strongest magnetic force than elsewhere.D.The magnetic force at the center of the earth is unstable.53. According to the passage, what will happen if the magnetic force of the earth increase suddenly?A.Doves will not be able to find their way back.B.People will commit suicide.C.People will become mad and abnormal.D.Rats will reproduce very rapidly.54.According to the passage, the magnetic force of the earth _________.A.is controlling more and more peopleB.is disappearing little by littleC.is becoming weaker and weakerD.is hard to predict55. What does the author imply in the last sentence of the passage?A.There will be great changes in life in the future.B.Animals will die out in the future.C.The human race will die out in 2500 years.D. The earth will meet its ruin.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life．My family and I 56 a lot of time together，including every 57 ．Even when my father is 58 on business，my mother，my sister，and I sit down at the table to eat and 59 our day．We don’t watch television but have 60 together．As a teenager，61 with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary．I learn from them 62 we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother’s day.I did a little research on the “family table” 63 ．Statistics show that only 50% of 64 sit down to dinner together each night．That’s a65 ，because researchers 66 that kids who have these regular family dinners have 67behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less 68to smoke，drink，do drugs，or have eating disorders Time with their parents makes kids more 69 and gives them a sense of 70 and safety．Plus，they learn better manners．Now with many single-parent families or homes 71 both parents work，making time together has become harder．There have been many recent studies showing kids are“ 72 ”than they used to be．I think it’s primarily parents’73 ．Only good things 74 taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family．By spending 20 minutes with 75 ，I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly．56．A．spend B．pass C．take D．cost 57．A．morning B．dinner C．weekend D．party 58．A．away B．lonely C．back D．alone 59．A．welcome B memorize C．discuss D．remember 60．A．snacks B．meal C．sports D．fun 61．A．putting up B．getting up C．keeping up D．hanging out 62．A．every time B．before C．some time D．since63．A．plan B．manner C．idea D．project 64．A．parents B．sisters C．brothers D．families 65．A．wonder B．shame C．miracle D．worry 66．A．suppose B．claim C．assume D doubt 67．A．higher B．worse C．lower D．better 68．A．unlikely B．probably C．likely D．impossibly 69．A．stubborn B．nervous C．silent D．stable 70．A．belonging B．anxiety C．honor D．achievement 71．A．whose B．where C．that D．which 72．A．smarter B．quicker C．wilder D．slower 73．A．duty B．fault C．power D．burden 74．A．come out B．contribute to C．come from D．result in 75．A．the other B．another one C．the rest D．each other大学英语1A答案一、单项选择题(每题1分，共30题)1.

I think thirty dollars per month is no small amount of money for a student.To be honest, I don’t need to use a cell phone because I don’t have any urgent business, but all my family and friends have cell phones. More than fifty percent of the population in Korea（韩国）has a cell phone. Think about that number: only children and very old people don’t have one.If I didn’t have a cell phone, everybody would raise such a question, “Why doesn’t she have one?” I would be considered as a strange and independent person. Korea has agroup-oriented culture, so a strange and independent p erson isn’t welcome. I don’t want to be strange, so I cannot do anything but use a cell phone.I have to check my cell phone all the time, and I have to change the battery every other day. It is kind of a big problem. Even though I don’t want to answer the phone at all, I have to answer it because as long as I have a cell phone, a quick answer is etiquette（礼节）. It has really invaded（影响）my life. I have never thought cell phones are useful and meaningful devices. I hate them because I am a person who likes to lead a peaceful, calm life. I wish I could get rid of my cell phone in the near future.Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices.6. The author has a cell phone just because ___________.A. she deal with businessB. she has to talk with friendsC. several people have oneD. most of the people have one7. According to the author, 30 dollars cell phone fee is _________ to a student.A. a small amount of moneyB. an extra burden（负担）C. not worth payingD. no problem8. In Korea, most of the groups have cell phones except ___________.A. the oldB. college studentsC. businessmenD. teacher9. Why does the author think having a cell phone is a big problem、A. Because she has to pay about thirty dollars per month.B. Because her parents often call her.C. Because she has to change the battery frequently.D. Because her classmates often borrow her cell phone.10. What kind of people are not welcome in Korea?A. Dependent peopleB. Independent peopleC.
