Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ f ire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding班级____________________ 学号____________________ 姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________.A. it was in bad weatherB. there were “deaf spots”C. a big fire startedD. it was at the weekend2.

Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D. It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageAccidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worries are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that________.A. Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B. Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C. Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D. About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.（阅读1）·第7 页共16 页7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. Mood.B. Tiredness.C. CarelessnessD. Weather8. The wo rd “accidents-prone” (L.2 Para.2) means________.A. likely to have accidentsB. injured in accidentsC. possible to die in accidentsD. responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents?A. Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B. Many accidents can and should be avoided.C. Factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D. Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be __________.A. Accidents and AnxietyB. How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC. Human Factors in AccidentsD. How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It 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 (嫁妆). 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 with hold 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 manage ment of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite班级____________________学号____________________姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------（阅读1）·第 9 页 共 16 页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 from 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.11. 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 C12. 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 husband C. lower than that of her husband D. the same as that of her husband13. 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 property.B. To show that the wife can defend her own inheritance.C. To prove that women have powerful position.D. To illustrate how women win her property.14. The compensation Maria Vivas got for the field is ____.班级____________________ 学号____________________ 姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------------A. some of the land Miro had inheritedB. a tenth of Miro’s landC. money for household expensesD. money from Miro’s inheritance15. The author’s attitude towards Maria Vivas is ____.A. sympatheticB. disapprovalC. indifferentD. objectivePassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists (语言学家) suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain compared wit h that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables achild to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the ch ild, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.16. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A. he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB. he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC. he was unkind to the nurseD. he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue17. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A. their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakB. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help themC. they do not listen carefully to their mothersD. their brains have to absorb too much language at once.18. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A. difficult periods in the child’s l ifeB. moments when the child becomes critical to its motherC. important stages in the child’s developmentD. times when mothers often neglect their children19. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?A. Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in manB. Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speakC. Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligent（阅读1）·第11 页共16 页D. Most children learn their language in definite stages20. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signa ls_________.A. the child will never be able to speak properlyB. the child will stop giving out signalsC. the child will invent a language of his ownD. the child will make little effort to speakPassage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Ask Steveland Morris and he’ll tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely and totally with sight in 1950. He became Steve Wonder ----- composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie s widely acclaimed for his outstanding contributions to the music world.As a child, Stevie learned not to think about things he could not do, but to concentrate on the thing that he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also help him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sound. He would bang things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment , he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica (口琴), and listened to the radio.Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir and the leading singer. In the evenings and on weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches of neighbor’shomes.班级____________________学号____________________姓名____________________ ----------------------------------------密----------------------------------------封----------------------------------------线--------------------------------（阅读1）·第 13 页 共 16 页One of Stevie sessions was overhead by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called The Miracles.

Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that“ reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is alsopublic activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private ,for learning is an occupation of the mind ,and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable ,what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest（探索）for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.31．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about reading32．The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most effcient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable33．The underlined word“ scrutiny” most probably means“________”.A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion34．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children’s experience35．The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated that generally believedReading Comprehension:(B)Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and children’s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp’s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one’s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.36.Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists?A.The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn languagebecause it is an outgrowth of the structure of the human mind.B.Other animals simply could master a language.C.The animals intellectual capacity is much better than human beings.nguage is developed by learning.37.The behaviorists’ view is that __________.nguage is actually an outgrowth of intellectual structure of the anim al’s mindB.animals have not developed communications systemC.given enough patience, a man should be able to teach an animal some sort of languageD.only human beings can learn language38.That an animal can master a simple language means that __________.A.human’s intellectual structure is not importantB.animals’ intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to the humans’C.the learning techniques are much more importantnguage is developed completely by learning39.The main idea of paragraph two is ___________.A.teaching a chimp language is not crucial test of the two theoriesB.their brain structure is not similar to humaning various methods to let the chimp master a languageD.training a nonhuman to use language is an amazing accomplishment40.The best title for this passage would be _________.A.Animals’ languageB.Human’s languageC.Teaching Animals’ LanguageD.Can Other Animals Acquire Language?Reading Comprehension:(C)Disraeli was as sparkling a letter-writer as he was a novelist. His letters show that his capacity to observed was matched only by his ability to describe, and they are excited by his over-developed sense of self-dramatization as well as by his enduring sense of the greatness of his own destiny. He skims through these pages like some gorgeous bird of paradise, spreading his multi-colored feathers and never pausing long enough to become boring.As early as 1830, when only 26, he is found advising Benjamin Austin to carefully conserve his letters for posterity. Fortunately Austin and others followed his advicA. As a result over 10,000 letters in his own hand have survived, quite apart from dictated letters and other notes and documents. Disraeli rarely kept a diary, and poured his thoughts, desires and reflections into his correspondencA.What treasures there lie in store! We leave him 1837 with his longed-for election to Parliament, but ahead come into view the high peaks of his career with the twin mountains of his two premierships and his friendship with the Queen. Lord Esher maintained that the letters between Disraeli and Queen Victoria had largely been destroyed, but this was not so. A new, bright and searching light will eventually shine on that extraordinary political and romantic friendship.41. This passage appears to be written by _______.A a friend of Disraeli'sB a contemporary of Disraeli'sC a literary criticD an autobiographer42. ...his capacity to observe was matched only by his ability to describA... meansA he was as accomplished an observer as he was a descriptive writerB his capacity to observe and his ability to describe were unrivalledC he was capable of adapting descriptions to fit his observationsD his observations and descriptions reflected his own personal ambitions43. During his lifetime Disraeli pursued the career of _______.A a correspondentB a politicianC a novelistD a consultant44. Even as a young man Disraeli realized that one day his letters would be _______.A antiquatedB well-connectedC destroyedD widely-read45. Disraeli's two premierships and his friendship with the Queen are described as being_______.A obstacles to surmountB unsurmountable obstaclesC pinnacles of successD impossible challengesReading Comprehension:(D)It is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10 1/2 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound, two-pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etC. A study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observers that all possible sizes and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position.When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5, from $1 to $ 2.5 by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average filmily pays about $ 200 a year from bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can.46 What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus?A Consumers' complaints about the changes in package size.B Expensive packaging for poor quality products.C A Senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging.D The rise in the unit price for many products.47. The word "undue" (ParA. 2)means___________.A improperB adequateC unexpectedD excessive48. Consumers are concerned about the changes in package size mainly because___________.A they hate to see any changes in things they are familiar withB the unit price for a product often rises as a resultC they have to pay for the Cost of changing package sizesD this entails an increase in the cost of packaging49. According to this passage, various types of packaging come into existence to___________.A meet the needs of consumersB suit all kinds of productsC enhance the market position of productsD introduce new products50. The author is critical mainly of___________.A dishonest packagingB inferior packagingC tbe changes in package sizeD exaggerated illustration on packagesReading Comprehension:(E)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 between 1907 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.51.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.52.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 1913.53.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 Am erican modernists and painters of the “Ash Can School”.D.Works of European artists only.54.According to the author, which of the following was a major new movement in twentieth-century art?A. Impressionism.B. Cubism.C. The rational tradition.D. Realism.55.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.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 67 behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less 68 to 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．cost57．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．since 63．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1B答案一、单项选择题(每题1分，共30题)1.

He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met oureyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed （）, falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!31. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?A、He made a lot of money.B、He enjoyed many of his adventures.C、He had a lot of adventures.D、He fought as a soldier.32. When did the story most likely happen?A、In the spring.B、In the summer.C、In the fall.D、In the winter.33. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?A、He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.B、He was really tired from the long journey.C、He had the habit of going to bed early.D、His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.34. Why was the writer glad after the accident?A、He realized he would have a good sleep.B、He had heard many exciting stories.C、He had a narrow escape from death.D、He had experienced a great adventure.35. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?A、He bought it and had it repaired.B、He gave it to his neighbors.C、He sold it to others.D、He returned it to the landlord.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality.

But Esther Green glass, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, says many recent studies have found that girls may still be faced with mixed messages about self-confidence and success, which can lower their self-esteem and discourage them from achieving their potential.The problem worsens at about age 11 or 12, when girls start hitting puberty （青春期）and discovering boys. Many girls’ grades drop, and so does their self-esteem. “Girls get the message that, if you’re going to be popular, you can’t be too smart because the boys won’t like you,” says Green glass, who has written extensively on sex roles and discrimination.Often, girls also sense that boys are considered more capable. In studies in the United States, researchers found that when teachers asked questions, they almost always made eye con?tact with boys, unless they had attended courses raising their level of awareness. Adding to the problem, according to Green glass, is the lack of female role models in old textbooks still found in many Canadian schools.How are girls’ attitudes affected? Studies have shown that boys usually attribute their success to their superior ability, while girls attribute their own success to luck. When boys fail at a task, they tend to blame it on external factors; when girls fail, they blame their own lack of ability. Boys are more likely to try a second time to succeed.41. The first paragraph intends to tell us that _______.A、girls usually ask more questions than boys in classB、girls often confuse teachers with many questionsC、teachers tend to give much more attention to boysD、teachers believe that boys ask more serious questions42. Findings by Professor Esther Greenglass indicate that _______.A、sex discrimination in schools has disappeared in CanadaB、Canadian school girls are more self-confident than boysC、school girls in Canada are confused about their rolesD、in Canada girls and boys achieve equal success at school43. Researchers in the United States found that when teachers asked questions, _______.A、they would first turned to boys for answersB、they wanted to raise the awareness of boysC、boys responded to them ImmediatelyD、girls avoided eye contact with teachers44. We can learn from the passage that girls' lack of self-confidence has led to _______.A、their misjudgment of their own success and failureB、boys’ misunderstanding of their superiorityC、their inability to achieve academic successD、boys’ blaming external factors for their failu res45. What is the best title of the passage?A、Male and Female Role Models.B、Puberty and Sex Difference.C、Girls, Boys, and Success.D、Sex Roles and Discrimination.Part III Fill in the blanks （选择填空）（（每小题1分，共10分））46.
