But you are still the best police dog in the world!”“ARF! ARF!” barked Joe.“You are welcome,” said Fred. “Now let’s get your birthday dinner. Show me where you want to eat.”Joe led Fred down the street. Good smells came from all the eating places. But Joe walked on. At last he stopped at a small place. He smelled around the door. Then he pushed the door open.“Is this where you want to eat?” asked Fred. But Joe did not bark an answer. He put his nose to the floor and ran across the room. Then he jumped on a man at a table!“Good boy, Joe!” said Fred. Joe and Fred have looked for the robber for ten years. “And now you have found him!”Joe and Fred took the robber to the police station.

No, he is.Passage TwoWhat a strange world this would be if everyone told the truth! Even though the whole world claim to dislike lies, it seems that lying is a universal communication style. Most of us get angry at big lies, but how about truth-telling in our private life? Should we always tell the truth to husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and children?Public opinion polls find that only about one in ten Americans say they never tell a lie. Some studies showed that each student actually told about two lies a day. Half of all adults interviewed in a radio poll last year admitted they had told a lie they regretted, and many said they had been deeply hurt by a lie someone told them.Researchers asked some people to describe the lies they told over a period of weeks. They nearly all stressed that what they told were white lies, and denied having told serious lies.We tell more different lies to men than to women. Men and women tell more lies about themselves when talking to men, but more lies about others when talking to women. Men are particularly likely to lie about themselves. Women tell more lie than men, but only because women tell white lies in order to make others feel comfortable.Surveys show that nearly everyone bel ieves most people are truthful. That’s why people are so bad at detecting lies. Psychologists have even tested the lie-detecting ability of police officers, judges, customs inspectors and others whose jobs need to detect lies. In these studies, these people were no better at detecting lies than ordinary people.6. Men tell fewer lies than women.A. TrueB. False7. We lie differently to different types of people.A. TrueB. False8. What is the main idea expressed in the passage?A. Lies must be avoided, though nearly impossible.B. People should feel ashamed of telling lies.C. Lying is actually a common phenomenon in social communication.D. People are bad at detecting lies.9. According to the passage, we can infer that .A. people tend to claim that they do lie, but not out of ill intentionsB. lying shouldn’t have become a universal communication styleC. college students are No. 1 liarsD. those who are not good at detecting lies should not be police officers, customs inspectors and others whose job needs to detect lies10. The word “detect” in the third line of the last paragraph is closest in meaning to.A. remindB. rememberC. cautionD. noticePassage ThreePeople all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and oftenartificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produced there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, artificial fertilizers cannot restore the balance.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.11. The main cause of pollution is the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment.A. TrueB. False12. In the writer’s view, the more new goods, the less pollution there will be.A. TrueB. False13. Many people see pollution as only part of .A. our daily lifeB. the environmental balanceC. the consumption of goods by manD. the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods14. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only .A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers15. People can help solve the problem of pollution by .A. urging their governments to control litter and wasteB. making anti-pollution advertisementsC. cutting down the use of oil and other oil productsD. reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes答案:Part I Vocabulary and Structure1-5 BDADC 6-10 CACAC 11-15 DBCBA 16-20 ABABDPart II Reading Comprehension1-5 AABDA 6-10 AACAD 11-15 ABDCD[文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,另外祝您生活愉快,工作顺利,万事如意!]。

(阅读理解题)The comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt towide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality. The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts thisimage and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.(1). (单选题) As one grows older, ______.

(阅读理解题)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 feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself o r 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 buildingself-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1). (单选题) What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?(本题3.0分)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.学生答案: B解析:得分: 3(2). (单选题) According to the writer, too much self-awareness is _______. (本题3.0分)A、 a weak pointy of shy peopleB、the cause of unhappinessC、 harmful to peopleD、a good quality学生答案: C标准答案:C解析:得分: 3(3). (单选题)That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ________.(本题3.0分)A、goodB、unrealC、harmfulD、very reasonable学生答案: B解析:得分: 0(4). (单选题) Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? (本题3.0分)A、Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.B、Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C、Shyness helps us to develop our potential.D、Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.学生答案: D标准答案:A解析:得分: 0(5). (单选题) It can be inferred from the passage that shypeople_________.(本题3.0分)A、should find more of their weaknessB、can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemC、had better ignore their weaknessD、should understand themselves in the right way标准答案:D19.

They will say, My point is…What is the point of all this?The point is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’s thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writersare supposed tomake their points clear, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of the piece of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit, a Japanese might say, Maybe other coats would look even better than the one you have on. Americans value a person who gets right to the point.Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity (歧义). The precision and directness Americans associate with the point cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with AmericansAccording to the passage, Americans expect speakers and writersto()A.be clear about their main ideasB.give as much information as possibleC.express their personal viewsD.be honest about their true feelings2、In the sentence I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit, the word outfit most probably means()A.officeB.timeC.speechD.clothes3、According to the passage, the Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be()A.indirectB.straightforwardC.poorly dressedD.curious4、In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to()A.learn the language wellB.change their way of thinkingC.be careful about their choice of wordsD.explain their reasons clearly5、Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this conversation goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between those is important, especially for advanced readers. (73) There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read.We call this a process conversationas opposed to a content conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader, our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed.Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher levelAccording to the author, when will our reading become conscious ()A.When the reader’s expectations match with what is said in the textB.When the reader has trouble understanding what the author saysC.When the reader asks tough questions and gets proper answersD.When the reader understands a text with no difficulties 6、At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to()A.read a text slowly and carefullyB.read without thinking hardC.interpret a text in their own wayD.focus on the meaning of words only7、A process conversation has to do with()A.the application of reading strategiesB.matching our expectations with the meaning of a text C.the development of our ability to check the detailsD.determining the main idea of a text8、According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between() A.conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB.the reader’s expectations and the meaning of a textC.lower and higher levels of comprehensionD.interpreting and criticizing a text9、Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead.Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point wherea new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward.Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!The difference in time between zones is()A.more than seven daysB.twenty four hoursC.one hourD.seven days10、The International Date Line is the name for()A.any time zone in the Pacific OceanB.any point where time changes by one hourC.the point where a new day beginsD.the beginning of any new time zone11、From this selection, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean ()A.is in one time zoneB.cannot be crossed in five daysC.is divided into five time zonesD.is divided into twenty four zones12、If you cross the Atlantic Ocean going east,you set your clock()A.ahead one hour in each new time zoneB.ahead by twenty three hoursC.back one full day for each time zoneD.ahead one hour for the whole trip三、匹配题1、Directions: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.A.

Each passage is followed by five 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneTelephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, with in seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many pepole lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.41. News spreads fast because of .A. modern transportationB. new teachnologyC. the changes of the worldD. a peace agreement42. According to this passage, is very important to people in a disaster area.A. fast communicationB. modern technologyC. the newsD. new ideas43. Which of the following statements is TRUE based on the text?A. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.B. The world is actually smaller today.C. The world is changing in size.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.44. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried .A. by telephoneB. by landC. by airD. by sea45. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed .A. by both sidesB. in timeC. in AmericaD. in EnglandPassage TwoThis story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that’s when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I d idn’t feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my selfI got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.(81)About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 an d 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. (82)Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell we are the best thing that ever has happened to him and that he loves us.46.

They went out and picked berries or dug up roots to eat. Four of them chose poisonous food and died. The remaining six noticed that their food was safe to eat. They told their children, who, in turn, passed the message on to their descendants. In this way, habit became a vital factor in the survival of mankind: if you ate the right plant, you lived; if you wanted to make your own experiments, you would probably die.The importance of habit on the survival of the human species is an interesting matter. Even today, most of us hesitate when we are invited to eat a new type of food or drink something we have not tasted before. Even if the food or drink is offered by a friend, we are usually not at all anxious to experiment and accept the offer.When you get up tomorrow morning, notice which shoe or sock you put on first. Then notice which one you put on first on other days. You may discover that (a) you tend to put on one shoe or sock first every day, and that (b) if you are rightleft shoe or sock first. If you try to change this habit, you may find it uncomfortable or annoying, and you will soon return to your old habit.When it comes to other matters, we often follow a fixed pattern. We sleep in one or two favorite ways. We often follow familiar routes even when they are not the shortest or best. We often wear a watch on the same wrist even when there is no real reason for doing so.(83)In hundreds of other ways, we show that we are creatures of habit, following fixed patterns of behavior. This characteristic can help us to survive but it can be a barrier to progress too. We must be alert and not let a beneficial factor become a harmful one.51.
