Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage one:For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenient foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a bachelor apartment. This is the era of women's liberation.But all this freedom and affluence (富裕) have had an unforeseen and in some aspects a devastating (破坏的) effect on marriage.1. In the U.S., families are becoming ___.A) bigger B) smaller C) easier D) freer2. Why are women able to achieve economic independence?A) Because they have their own salary.B) Because convenience foods are available.C) Because they are free away from drudgery.D) Because they are attending college.3.

The text implies that the author____.A) highly praises the liberation of womenB) heartily enjoys this freedom and affluenceC) strongly recommends such kind of social lifeD) greatly worries about the bond of marriagePassage two:No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of Mark Twain. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain's life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, "The Celebrated JumpingFrog of Cadaver's County", was an immediate success and his new life began.In 1870, Mark Twain married Ohio kingdom. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. His wife had a great influence on Twain's later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around tile country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain's best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was then 74 years old.1.

From the story we can learn that Mark Twain ___.A) was a good speakerB) was a good readerC) was a poor newspaper manD) could draw wonderful picturesPassage threeFor some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street, someone came walking.It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking; at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly, but the others were honestly hidden by the smoke air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman's face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child's house.She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from thenarrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small washroom, that she wanted. Two rooms remained the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child's bed and the child.1. The light of the car passing the end of the street showed that __.A) a woman was driving the carB) someone was standing by a street lampC) a man and a woman were walking up the streetD) a woman was walking by herself up the street2. When the woman had closed the front door, she__.A) looked round quicklyB) started breathing againC) rested before movingD) walked straight towards the front room3. The woman went upstairs__.A) in complete silenceB) after hesitating for a momentC) after looking inside the kitchenD) as quickly as she could4. When she was upstairs, the woman__.A) saw that there was a wash-basin in each roomB) noticed a mirror which she was looking forC) found a torch inside one of the roomsD) opened four different doors5. Once she was in the house, the woman behaved as if what she was looking for__.A) might be in the kitchenB) was more likely to be upstairsC) would be easily seen by the light from the hallD) would look frightening to a childPassage fourIn a conversation eye contact is important because insufficient or excessive eye contact can create communicant embarrassed. In relationships eye contact serves to show attention and influence.Patterns of eye contact are different across cultures. In some cultures it is considered rude to stare especially at strangers. Some westerners feel uncomfortable with gaze that is sometimes associated with Arab or landfalls communication patterns. For them this style of eye contact is too intense. Yet too little eye contact may also be viewed negatively because it may convey a lack of interest, inattention or even mistrust. The relationship between the lack of eye contact and mistrusts can be stated directly in the expression: "Never trust a person who doesn't look you in the eyes." In contrast in many other parts of the world ( especially in Asian countries) a person's lack of eye contact toward an authority figure signifies respect.It takes practice to know exactly on whom and how long you should lay your eyes in a conversation but understanding the importance of eye contact is the first step to take.1. The word "excessive" in the first line can be paraphrased as___.A) too littleB) too muchC) unsuitableD) uncomfortable2. What does eye contact show according to the passage?A) Respect.B) Mistrust.C) Attention.D) Rudeness.3. The lack of eye contact is connected with__A) inattentionB) mistrustC) respectD) all of the above4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Patterns of eye contact vary among countries.B) One should always remember to look others in the eyes for a long time.C) Sometimes a lack of eye contact means respect.D) Eye contact is of great importance in conversations.5. It can be inferred from the passage that___A) there is a certain rule to follow about how long you should lay your eyes on othersB) you should not stare at others wherever you areC) a lack of eye contact is always connected with impolitenessD) it takes practice for a person to know how to conduct eye contactPart III ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in each following passage.
