If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. （10分）31. What is the main idea of this passage? _______ （2分）A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are not prompt,they may be regarded as impolite in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.32. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? ___ （2分）A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.33. Which of the time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend? _____ （2分）A.at 7: 00 am.B.at 4:00 pm.C.at the midnight.D.at 4:00 am.34. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? __________ （2分）A.In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in theU.S.A..D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.35. From the passage we can safely infer that ______. （2分）A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD.if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation2.Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers, except the old people.Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Yet many of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing karaoke, instead of studying. So many teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind, so computers are locked by parents in the boxes. In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can theybring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves! （10分）36.

An interview is not the place to make a fashion statement, though those in the art fields and the very famous can be a little different. Everyone else should choose to have a good enough but ordinary look. More and more companies are returning to traditional professional dress.Whatever you wear should go with the fact that you’re a professional who’s ready toget to work at a new job.let common sense be your guide, and it should be easy to avoidFashion mistakes that could damage your chances of getting to the next level in the process.In this market, it is essential that you look good and your appearance is right for the job. Color sin various shades of blue and gray are the best. Wearing black to the interview could be viewe d as too serious. It you do wear black, make sure that there is another color near your face to soften the look. Brown is still considered questionable as a business color, and probably should be avoided. Change your outfit’s look for a second interview by wearing a different color blouse, shirt, scarf or tie. With these in mind, here are some well-thought-out suggestions on how to avoid fashion mistakes. An image consultant says, clothes should be a part of who you are and should not be noticed. She mentions some mistaken ways of dressing to avoid when interview time comes around: Wild Nail Polish – for men or women.1.Extremely long or uncut nails are a real turnoff, too. Your nails should be neatly cut.2. Jewellery That Makes Sounds: Don’t wear more than two rings per hand or only one single earring. If you do wear earrings, make sure they are in pair.3.Bare Legs: Wear stockings, even in hot summer weather. Stockings can be in quiet colors ora fashion color to match your shoes.4.Out-of-Date Suits or Leather Jackets for Men or Women: The style for men’s jackets isfull-body and looser rather than fitted or tight. Leather jackets are not good for interviewing purposes. They look like outdoors wear. A tie is preferred, at least at the first meeting. At the very least, wear a collared shirt.5.Short Skirts: Skirts should be more than three inches long below the knee. Don’t even think about wearing pants to the interview.6.Printed or Trendy Handbags for women; Red Briefcases for men – Briefcases, purses and shoes should not be noisy in color and should be in good condition. （10分）41. From this passage we know that the author thinks ______. （2分）A.people in art fields and the very famous can dress themselves differentlyB.dressing oneself up to an interview is very important to attract noticeC.traditional dress is the best for any situationD.traditional professional dress is too ordinary42.

But there have been times when snow has looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of almost every color. Thinkhow it would seem to have colored snowflakes coming down all around you.Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. This made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries. When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust.Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud. Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six sides, if they are not broken or melted. When the air is cold and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and hard. If the air wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft.Would you be surprised to see snowflakes as big as your head falling from the sky? It happened once in the United States. It could happen again.1. The first two paragraphs mainly tell us that sometimes snow has different colors.A) T B) F2. No two snowflakes are just the same size, but all snowflakes are hard.A) T B) F3. Snowflakes begin with cloud.A) T B) F4. The bigger the snowflakes are, the softer they are.A) T B) F5. Black snow fell only in European Countries.A) T B) FPassage TwoOne day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me. She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed something more difficult for him to do. "Could you help me in the library?" she asked. I said, "Send him along."Soon, a golden-haired boy appeared. "Do you have a job for me?" he asked. I told him about a system for sorting books. He picked up the idea immediately. Then I showed him some cards for some unreturned books that I thought had been returned but not recorded. Maybe some books were put on wrong places. He said, "Is it a kind of a detective （侦探）job?" I answered yes, and then began his work.He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened thedoor and said, "Time for rest!" he argued for finishing the finding job, but the teacher won.The next morning, he arrived early, "I want to finish these books," he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to work with me more often, it was easy for me to say yes. After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boy's home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother declared that the family would be moving to another school. Her son's first concern, she said, was leaving the library. "Who will find the lost books?" he asked. When the time came, it was hard to say goodbye. Though at the beginning he had seemed an ordinary boy, his strong feeling of interest had made him different.Do you know who he is? This boy became a great man of the Information Age: Bill Gates.6. The teacher went to the library to find a job for Bill Gates.A) T B) F7. The librarian was too busy to have a rest.A) T B) F8. The sentence "He picked up the idea immediately" means that he learned that system quickly.A) T B) F9. Bill Gates was expected to find books with wrong cards.A) T B) F10. Bill Gates felt sad when his family would move to another school area.A) T B) FPassage ThreeMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the c ountry with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which areneeded in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.11. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B) All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C) Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D) Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.12. With the same money needed for ____, one can buy a little house with a garden inthe country.A) getting a small flat with a gardenB) having a small flat with a gardenC) renting a small flat without a gardenD) buying a small flat without a garden13. When the garden is in blossom, the one _____ has been rewarded.A) living in the countryB) having spent time working in the gardenC) having a garden of his ownD) having been digging, planting and watering14. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _____ if they hadto live outside London.A) their life was meaninglessB) their life was invaluableC) they didn’t deserve a happy lifeD) they were not worthy of their happy life15. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ____.A) deal with B) do away withC) escape from D) prevent fromPassage FourAmong the more interesting things to observe as you travel the world are the ways in which people conduct themselves at parties. In some countries men and women move to opposite ends of the room and talk to one another; in others they sit in large chairs around the edge of the room and talk only to the people on either side of them, or silently eat and observe the scene.As you would imagine, Americans move about a great deal at parties. At small gatherings they may sit down, but as soon as there are more people than chairs in the room –or better yet, a little before this point –you would see first one and then another make some excuses to get to his feet (to fetch a drink or greet a friend or open a window) until soon everyone is standing, moving around, chatting with one group and then another. Sitting becomes inactive beyond a certain point. We expectpeople to move about and be “self-starters.”It is quite normal for Americans to introduce themselves and their companions. If this happens, you are expected to reply by giving your name and introducing the person with you. After such an informal introduction, you talk together for a little while, here come those questions: “Are you new here?”“How long have you been in America?”Within a moment or two, you will havestruck some common ground, conversation will move along for a while, and then either couple can feel free to say something informal like: “Well, it’s been nice to meet you” or “I hope we see you again soon.” This is the signal for both couples to say their good-byes and move off to another group.The basic rule at big parties is: don’t st ay in one place for too long. Pick out people you think look interesting, then go to talk to them. Women should not gather themselves in a group with each other or hide themselves away in a corner. They too should move around the room either with their husbands, or with friends or alone, whichever they prefer, unless they are strategically located (and attractive!) so that people keep coming up to them. The point of a party in this country is to meet and talk with people; the fact that you are all there together under your host’s roof is in itself a form of introduction in our view. Asa result anyone can feel free to talk to anyone else.16. The possible title for this passage might be ______.A) Parties in the World B) Differences of Parties in Different CountriesC) Parties in America D) A Party I Attend in America17. According to the author, the major difference between an American party and that in other countries lies in the fact that ______.A) Americans move about a great deal at partiesB) Americans never sit down at partiesC) women usually come with their husbands to a partyD) women and men talk in different groups18.

You should follow a certain set of rules or guidelines to achieve success especially in IT training courses learnt via distance learning mode.First, you should devote much time in recollecting and going through the study materials and brushing up your skills without getting complacent or lazy. Since distance learning does not involve human intervention personally, you should make it apoint to get the human touch to it by discussing it with the fellow students or teachers whenever it is possible to make it better to learn and to improve your skills. Since IT training courses require practical methods to learn, you should make it a point to put in practice of whatever you have learnt theoretically as this will make your skills grow laterally rather than in one direction. And thus you would also be able to apply what you have learnt in real time situation which is what required when it comes to IT learning Living in a Big city 生活在大城市Thousands of people stream into cities, especially big cities.

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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them findtheir way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called “The penguin” shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area --- except for “The Penguin”.Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.36.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A. live in groupsB. have large brainsC. are warm-bloodedD. have their own language37.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?A. Its nose.B. Its ears.C. Its mouth.D. Its eyes.38.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look forJack?A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.B. They enjoyed playing with him.C. He was seriously wounded.D. They wanted his help39.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A. dolphins are friendly and cleverB. people are cruel to animalsC. Jack is different from other dolphinsD. dolphins should be protected by law40.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Dolphins have their own language.B. Dolphins use a part of their mouth to find their way around.C. In many countries one will break the law if he/she kills a dolphin.D. It took Jack nine years to recover after it was wounded by the shot in 1903.Passage 2Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family, and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms bygiving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a bed near them.The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone.Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.41.The passage is chiefly concerned with ______.A. American way of livingB. living conditions in different countriesC. space requirements in different culturesD. space requirements and economic factors42.According to the author, the amount of living space a person needs is decided by ______.A. his cultural backgroundB. the relationship between the family membersC. his financial situationsD. how many rooms there are in his house43.The example of American families seems to suggest that ______.A. Americans are more eager to be alone when they are at homeB. psychological space needs are developed when one is very youngC. it is advisable to let the baby sleep with his parentsD. it is advisable to let the baby sleep in a separate room44.Some families gather close to each other at home because ______.A. they have limited living spaceB. it satisfies their psychological space needsC. they have been brought up in a small familyD. they haven’t small corners for themselves45.According to the author, psychological space needs ______.A. will change as one’s incomes are reducedB. will change if you move to a smaller houseC. can be changed at willD. cannot be changed completelyPassage 3People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes (烟) from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add pollution to the air.The effects of air pollution range from slight headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are usedfor fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode (腐蚀). In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.46.The key point of the passage is that ______.A. the cause of air pollution is peopleB. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in citiesC. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to deathD. air pollution is caused by dirty air47.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To persuade people to stop polluting the air.B. To tell the causes of air pollution.C. To tell why cities are bad places to live in.D. To describe how people living in cities feel about polluted air.48.Why is air pollution more serious in the city than in the country?A. Because there are larger population in cities.B. Because the air in the city is dirty.C. Because there are more cars in the city.D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energyin the city than in the country.49.The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal ______.A. to turn blackB. to become rustyC. to corrodeD. to twist50.In larger cities, the fumes from coal and oil may contributeto ______.A. lung diseasesB. heart diseasesC. loss of clear visionD. serious headachePassage 4A man once sa id how useless it was to put advertisements in newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church, it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but did not get it back.”“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost an umbrella from the City church, the man who finds it will receive ten shillings leaving it at No. 10 Br oad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”The merchant the n took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening does not wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken bymistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.51.What is an advertisement?A. A news item.B.

Public opinions.52.The man once thought advertising was ______.A. of little useB. of some useC. practicalD. valuable53.Why did the merchant say “I often advertise and find that it pays me well”?A. Because he knew how to advertise.B. Because he had more money for advertising.C. Because he found it easy to advertise.D. Because he had a friend in the newspaper where he advertised.54.Did the merchant know who had taken the umbrella?A. Sure.B. Not very sure.C. Not at all.D. Probably.55.This is a story about ______.A. a useless advertisementB. how to make an effective advertisementC. how the man lost and found his umbrellaD. what the merchant did for the umbrella ownerPart III ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in each of the following passages.

It is also one of the __77_ objects to the earth: only the moon and, _78_ , Mars are nearer to us than Venus. Why, then, do we know so little about it?The reason is _79_ the surface of Venus is always covered _80_ a thick layer of clouds. These clouds brilliantly reflect the light _81_ reaches them from the sun and make theplanet __82 very bright to us. We are not sure about _83_ the clouds contain, and we don’t know _84_ the surface of Venus 85 look like.One _86_ suggestion is that the clouds of Venus _87_ be vapors of oil. Our earth clouds _88_ water ---because ourtemperature is just _89_ to turn a little of _90_ seas into vapor. The temperature on Venus, _ 91 _ is four times as hot as boiling water, is quite high enough to _92_ some kinds of oil in to vapors. If Venus had any “seas”, they cannot be seas of water. The water there _93_ away millions of years ago. _94_ they may be “sea” of heavy oil. Some kinds of oil would need to be hotter than Venus before they _95_ boil.76.

It seems that in the 1980s the principal carriers of the disease were homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes. Now it is becoming evident that heterosexuals also spread the disease, that children can be born with the virus and that patients in hospitals are being infected too.Just as the WHO fought the spread of children’s disease throughout the world in the 1960s, so now they must again use education to fight this killer disease. The organization proposes to write newspaper articles and books, and to make videos andTV programs. These will be translated into the major languages of the world so that as many people as possible can be educated about the danger of AIDS.However, we are still faced with two big questions. Is educating the public enough if we are to control the spread of AIDS? Does the WHO have enough money and resources for hospitals throughout the world to help and care for sufferers? One fact is becoming clearer and that is that the WHO has not focused enough on the need to educate medical staff. There are still hospitals and health centers in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDS patients, while there are others where too little care is taken to prevent the spread of the disease.1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Ca. AIDS is a disease for which a cure has been found.b. AIDS is a disease which has just been found.c. AIDS is a disease which has existed for a long time.d. AIDS is a disease which spreads very slowly.2. Who is easily infected with AIDS?Da. People who use drugs.b. People who visit prostitutes.c. Patients who stay in hospital.d. All of the above.3. In WHO’s opinion, what will help most effectively in fighting against the spread of AIDS?Aa. More education.b. More medicines.c. More doctors.d. More equipment.4. From the passage, we can see that the writer is not happy about ___B___.a. the education the general public get on AIDSb. the education the medical staff get on AIDSc. the TV programs on AIDSd. the newspaper articles on AIDS5. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?Ca. It is not enough only to educated the general public.b. There are some hospitals in some parts of the world which do not accept AIDSpatients.c. Great care has been taken to prevent the spread of AIDS everywhere in the worldnow.d. More money and resources are needed to control the spread of AIDS.Passage TwoIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity (生产率)? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way isimportant, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a single large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers’ contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also a factor we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.6. According to the author, many factories of the world have been faced with the problem of ___B___.a. a lack of workersb. how to increase productivityc. product distributiond. low-quality products7. Job variety can ___B___.a. greatly increase productivityb. make the workers’ life more pleasantc. make the workers work harderd. increase the variety of products8. It is not easy for the workers to get freedom to do their job in their own way because _C_____.a. there is a shortage of the workersb. the managers don’t allow them to do soc. modern machinery must be operated in a particular wayd. there are too many production lines9. According to experiments, if a car factory wants the workers to contribute more to the product they are making, it should ___B___.a. expand the factoryb. change a large production line into many small onesc. raise their wagesd. allow them to see just one small part of the product10. What is probably the best way to make the workers more productive, according to the author?Ba. Paying workers more money.b. Making jobs more interesting.c. Shortening working hours.d. Allowing workers more leisure time.Passage ThreeNowadays, if you were to ask 100 people their opinions about what to wear to an interview, the majority would answer: clean and simple clothes without showing off. An interview is not the place to make a fashion statement, though those in the art fields and the very famous can be a little different. Everyone else should choose to have a good enough but ordinary look. More and more companies are returning to traditional professional dress.Whatever you wear should go with the fact that you’re a professional who’s ready to get to work at a new job. let common sense be your guide, and it should be easy to avoid fashion mistakes that could damage your chances of getting to the next level in the process. In this market, it is essential that you look good and your appearance is right for the job.Colors in various shades of blue and gray are the best. Wearing black to the interview could be viewed as too serious. It you do wear black, make sure that there is another color near your face to soften the look. Brown is still considered questionable as a business color, and probably should be avoided. Change your outfit’s look for a second interview by wearing a different color blouse, shirt, scarf or tie.With these in mind, here are some well-thought-out suggestions on how to avoid fashion mistakes. An image consultant says, clothes should be a part of who you are and should not be noticed. She mentions some mistaken ways of dressing to avoid when interview time comes around:1. Wild Nail Polish –for men or women. Extremely long or uncut nails are a real turnoff, too. Your nails should be neatly cut.2. Jewellery That Makes Sounds: Don’t wear more than two rings per hand or only one single earring. If you do wear earrings, make sure they are in pair.3. Bare Legs: Wear stockings, even in hot summer weather. Stockings can be in quiet colors or a fashion color to match your shoes.4. Out-of-Date Suits or Leather Jackets for Men or Women: The style for men’s jackets is full-body and looser rather than fitted or tight. Leather jackets are not good for interviewing purposes. They look like outdoors wear. A tie is preferred, at least at the first meeting. At the very least, wear a collared shirt.5. Short Skirts: Skirts should be more than three inches long below the knee. Don’t even think about wearing pants to the interview.6. Printed or Trendy Handbags for women; Red Briefcases for men –Briefcases, purses and shoes should not be noisy in color and should be in good condition.11. From this passage we know that the author thinks ____A__.a. people in art fields and the very famous can dress themselves differentlyb. dressing oneself up to an interview is very important to attract noticec. traditional dress is the best for any situationd. traditional professional dress is too ordinary12. According to the author, when you are going to an interview, ___C___.a. whatever you wear is OK as long as you get the jobb. you don’t have to bet prepared, since it should be easyc. you should dress yourself in the right way for the job you are seekingd. your common sense will certainly get you through13. In the second paragraph of this passage, the phrase “In this market…” refers to the____D__ market.a. fashionb. image consultantc. clothesd. job14. It is believed that ___B___.a. black color is totally unacceptable since it is too serious for an interviewb. brown should be avoided because people are doubtful about it as a business colorc. dark blue or light gray is the best color for an intervieweed. one should change the color of one’s dress for each interview totally15. Which of the statement is not true according to the passage?Aa. Men should wear a jacket that fits him quite well for an interview.b. Short skirts wouldn’t be suitable dresses for an interviewc. To go to an interview, women should not wear pants.d. Never take a trendy handbag for an interview.Passage FourAccidents are caused; t hey don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to 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 (和…争执) themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict to 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 made 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 that the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment –noise and fatigue (疲劳), boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.16. According to the author, the accidents are mainly caused by __B___.a.external conditionsb.people’s internal conditions influenced by physical or mental factorsc.slippery roadsd. a chain of events17. People used to think that __A___.a.car accidents are mainly caused by some drivers who drive so carelessly thatthey violate the traffic regulationsb.car accidents are mainly caused by ordinary drivers when they are careless orabsent-minded for a momentc.insurance companies support those who drive carelesslyd.an accident is something we cannot predict to avoid18. The passage suggests that __D___.a.safety regulations effectively prevent the accidents at workb.with all the safety precautions, accidents at work cannot be avoidedc.the human error or misjudgment leading to accidents at work are mainly due toworking environmentd.both b. and c.19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accident?Da. Moodb. Tirednessc. Carelessnessd. Weather20.What do you think would be the best title for the passage?Ca. Accidents and Anxiety.b. How Accidents Are Caused.c. Human Factors in Accidents.d. How to Prevent Accidents on Roads and in Factories.Part V ClozeScientists say that the disappearance of the trees is already 1 changes in the climate.

In fact it has brought us nothing but trouble and inconvenience.It worked perfectly well for the first few days and then it began to make trouble. The day before yesterday, there was a football match between the Chinese Team and the Brazil’s. I turned on the TV with great expectation but it flashed a lot with lots of noise. I immediately turned it off and a few minutes later I tried it again. Much to my surprise, it refused to work with no picture and sound. I got very angry and my brother said it was totally dead.I am sure you will agree this is an unsatisfactory situation and it is also unfair toa customer. So I sincerely hope you will send some serviceman here to fix it or arrange for someone to replace it. Failing that, I will insist on a refund for the full price I have paid. Of course I hope we will not go so far.Looking forward to your reply, I am.Yours sincerely,Chen Ming。

He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he preferred chocolate to bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to bribe him to get into his own house!

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing." Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, "You're just saying that to make me feel good.I know it's not true." It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for arich and fulfilling life.11. What does the author try to prove by citing "what kind of impression am I making?" (Para. 1)__B____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.12. According to the writer, self-awareness is __A___.A) a good qualityB) the cause of unhappinessC) harmful to peopleD) a weak point of shy people13.

Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? ___C__A) Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB) Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC) Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD) Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem15. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people __B___.A) should find more of their weaknessB) should understand themselves in the right wayC) had better ignore their weaknessD) can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage FourWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into alarge set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.16. What makes a scientist according to the passage? __B___A) The tools he uses.B) The way he uses his tools.C) His ways of learning.D) The various tools he uses.17.

The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __C___.A) that measurements are keys to success in scienceB) that accuracy of mathematicsC) that investigations are important in scienceD) that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations20. What is the main idea of the passage? __D___A) The theory of relativity.B) Exactness is the core of science.C) Scientists are different from ordinary people.D) Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Part IV ClozeMany people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life.

But he enjoyed the funfair more than his children. He hurried from one thing to another，and ate lots of sweets. One of the children said to her mother，"Dad is just like a small child，isn't he, Mom?" Mrs. White didn't want to follow her husband around any more at that time and answered，"He is even worse than a small child，Mary，because he might spend more money than a small child."A 1. There were five children in the White family.A) T B) FB 2. One Sunday，Mr. and Mrs. White wanted to go to a shop with their children.A) T B) FB 3. Mr. White liked the place so much that he bought lots of sweets.A) T B) FA 4. From the story we know Mrs. White was a little angry with Mr. White.A) T B) FA 5. Of all the family members, Mr. White enjoyed playing there most that Sunday.A) T B) FPassage TwoPeople have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term－quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.A 6. Progress in scientific research leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A) T B) FB 7. According to the passage, to people of today, health means absence of illness. A) T B) FA 8. The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer.A) T B) FB 9. We can infer from the passage nowadays the emphasisof health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food.A) T B) FA 10. This passage is mainly about different understandings of the term "health". A) T B) FPassage ThreeWe often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like ―he went pale and began to tremble‖ suggests that the man is either ve ry afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, ―he opened his eyes wide‖ is used to suggest anger in Chinese, whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in phrase like ―they stretched out their tongues!‖ ―Stretching out our tongue‖ in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.D 11. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A) We can easily understand what people’s gestures mean.B) Words can be better understood by older people.C) Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not.D) It is difficult to tell what people’s gestures really meansometimes.D 12. People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because ______.A) people of different sexes may understand a gesture differentlyB) people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsC) people of different ages may have different interpretationsD) people from different cultures have different meanings about some facialexpressions.A 13. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.A) gestures can be used to express feelingsB) gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelingsC) words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesD) gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelingsD 14. In the same culture, people ______.A) hardly ever fail to understand each other’s ideas and feelingsB) are equally intelligent even if they have different backgroundsC) almost all have the same understanding of the same thingD) may have different abilities to understand and express feelingsC 15. The best title for this passage can be ______.A) Gestures B) FeelingsC) Gestures and Feeling D) Culture and UnderstandingPassage FourThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.B 16. Our long-term goals mean a lot _______.A) if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB) if we complete the short-term goalsC) if we have dreams of the futureD) if we put forward some plansD 17. New short-term goals are built upon_____.A) a daily basisB) your achievement in a weekC) current activitiesD) the goals that have been completedC 18. When we complete each step of our goals, _____.A) we will win final successB) we are overwhelmedC) we will build up our confidence to achieve successD) we should have strong desire for setting new goalsC 19. What is the main idea of this passage? _____A) Life is a dynamic thing.B) We should set up long-term goals.C) Different kinds of goals in life.D) The limitation of long-term goals.C 20. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _____ A) The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-termgoals.B) The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C) Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.D) We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.Part IV ClozeThe world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater, __1__ salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground,and other __2__.And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Y et, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. （263 words）C31. The passage mainly deals with _______.A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebritiesD32.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In ge neral, 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, ―Y ou’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, 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. （309 words）B36.

Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he us es these tools that make him a scientist. Y ou will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.

While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. （290 words）A46. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborsB47. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food D48. The expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means ―_______‖.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurantA49. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is _______.A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. criticalB50. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.51. Old age, I decided, is also a gift.

In fact , I think we treated depressives naturally and find ways to recover our true selves. I used to use my sense of humor to cover up the pain of being me. In every job, in almost any situation I can think of, I have taken on the role of cheerleader, morale officer, and head of the Joke Department. It is something we tend to do: accept responsibility for doing the impossible, to fill gaping wholes in our souls.I don't take on that role anymore, now that the meds and therapy have kicked in.

A program is simply a set of instructions which tells the computer what to do. There are many different types of computer programs. One of those most often used is called a word processing program. A word processing program can be used to do any kind of writing. Word processing programs are used by secretaries, reporters, writers, and even poets.

The author discusses all of the items listed except ________.A) word processing software B) accounting softwareC) educational software D) salary softwareQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Psychologists have found that only about two percent of adults use their creativity compared with ten percent of seven-year-old children. When five-year-olds were tested, the results soared to ninety percent! Curiosity and originality are daily occurrences for the small child but somehow most of us lose the freedom and flexibility of the child as we grow older. The need to “follow directions” and many social constraints we put on ourselves prevent us from using our creative potentials!It is never too late to tap our creative potentials. Some of us, however, find it difficult to think in imaginative and flexible ways because of our set patterns of approaching problems. When we are inflexible in our approach to situations, we close our minds to creative possibilities.Being creative doesn’t necessarily mean being a genius. It means looking at situations in a new way or putting something together in a new form that makes sense. Spontaneity(自发性) is one of the key elements of creativity.If you were to ask someone “what’s half of eight?”and received the answer “Zero”, you might laugh and say, “That’s wrong!” But the figure 8 can be visualized as two zeros, one on top of the other; it can also be seen as to 3s standing face to face.The ability to visualize our environment in new ways opens our perspective and allows us to make all kinds of discoveries. If each of us asked the question “Why?”more often and investigated “other”alternatives to problem solving, our lives would be more interesting and exciting.41. According to the essay, _______A)we tend to be more creative as we grow oldB)adults do not use their creativity so often as children doC)we don’t lose our creativity as we grow oldD)people are born with different creative potentials42. “Half of 8 is zero” is used as an example to show that ______.A)very often we are wrongB)there are different ways of looking at the same thingC)our mind is often closed to new ways of looking at thingsD)both B and C43. Being creative means being _______.A)able to approach problems in new waysB)able to solve problemsC)inclined to ask whyD) a genius44. Which of the following does NOT go with creativity?A) Curiosity. B) Spontaneity. C) Inflexibility. D) Imagination.45. We are less creative than we can be because _______.A) we often think it too late to tap our creative potentialsB) set patterns of doing things close our minds to new possibilitiesC) creativity is not encouraged by societyD) education kills creativityIII.Cloze (10%)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
