Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the con textPeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first Ianguage the d iff ere nces are (66) as people lear n their mother ton gue n aturally, so the questi on of how hard a language is to learn is on I y (67 ) when lear ning a sec ond language.A native speaker of Spanish, (68) , will find Portuguese much easier to learn than anative speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, (69) Chinese is very d iff ere nt. So first lang uage can (70) lear ning a sec ond Ian guage ・ The greater the d iff ere nces betwee n the sec ond Ian guage and our first are, the (72) it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest Ianguage to learn, possibly (72) by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners・(73) , for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning (74) will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn Ianguages (75) , while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the (76) in which the Ianguage is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it (77), they often learn itfaster than people studying a Ianguage that has no direct use in their day to day life.Difference cultures and (78) from those cultures will find d iff ere nt Ian guages more difficult・ No Ianguage is easy to learn well, (79) languages which are related to our first Ianguage are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge (80) ‘ but that does not necessarily make a Ianguage more difficult than another.66. A. apparent B. extensive C. decline D. unimportant67. A. relevant B. permanent C. essential D・ progressive68. A. by contrast B. in addition C. for example D. after all69. A. when B. while C. where D. whether70. A. affect B. achieve C. attach D. assemble71. A. easier B. harder C. faster D. slower72. A. inherited B. overtaken C. influenced D. restricted73. A. However B. Moreover C. Therefore D. Anyhow74. A. speaking B. listening C. reading D. writing75. A. gradually B. steadily C. readily D.subc onsciously76. A. 1 earners B. materials C. tutors D.circumsta nces77. A. occasionally B. professionally C. properly D. informally78. A. societies B. characters C. individuals D. visitors79. A. as B. though C. because D. since80. A. success B. surprise C. opport unity D・ challengeSection BDirections: Read the following four passages・ Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read(A)The John E Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. is one of the official cultural centers of America・ For the past thirty years, the center has presented awards honoring artists for theirlifetime of work.Brian Wilson"Good Vibrations" and the other songs Brian Wilson wrote for The Beach Boysremain as fresh and energizing today as they were forty years ago. Wilson started theband with his two brothers, a cousin and a friend in the early nineteen sixties. TheBeach Boys made a new kind of American rock music popular・ Brian Wilson notonly wrote The Beach Boys' songs. He also sang, played the bass guitar and keyboard,and produced the band's records.Steve MartinHe is a popular writer, actor and comedian. He is also a skilled banjo(五弦琴)player. Martin first started his career writing for funny televisionshows like 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour." In the nineteenseventies he began performing his funny jokes and acts on the weeklytelevision p rogram “Saturday Night Live."Martin ScorseseMany people consider him one of the greatest living American ! filmdirectors・ Scorsese is best known for his movies about characters linked tocrime and violence. Many of his movies are about Italian-Americancharacters. Scorsese also brought to life periods from the American past inmovies like “Gangs of New York” and ^The Age of Innocence.0 His latest movie.

There are the victors and the losers.But today in doing business, you have to listen to stomers, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. That doesn"t sound like war. Besides, there are few victors when business is looked upon as war.Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. Business is competition and cooperation as well. In other words, business is war and peace.To bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory・ Game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. It is particularly effective when there are many interdependent （相互依存白勺）factors and no decision can be made in isolation （孑R立）from other decisions.Game theory breaks down the game into key elements （要素）:players, added values, rules, tactics （计谋），and scope（范圉）（PARTS）.Every element affects the result of the game・ This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into entirely new one. Change one of the PARTS, and you change the whole・Why change the game? An old Chinese saying explains: If you continue on the course you're heading, that's where you'll end up. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. You can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. That's because you're playing the wrong game: you need to change it. Even a good game can be made into a better one. Real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want, not taking the game you find.84.The author of this passage is _______ the idea that "Business is war."A- in favor of B. against C. considering D. doubtful of85."PARTS" stands for _______ .A.players, added values, rules, tactics and scopeB.all of the elements in the game theoryC.the parties in a gameD.the parts that affect the result of the game86.The correct understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is _________ ・A.you are really good at playing the game, but you still lose it outB.you are so competitive that you beat up all of your competitors terriblyC.you play the game too well to suffer great lossD.the competition is so hard that you have to put all your heart into it87.The author emphasizes that ________ .A.we shall play very hardB.we shall continue in the course we are headingC.we shall play in the right directi onD.we shall always change no matter the change is good or not（C）What is an in sect? In sects of all kinds have existed on earth for millions of years ・ Sometimes we think of all insects as pests・ Human I讦巳however; would have a difficult time continuing without in sects, because they polli nate plants and are a food source for many animals. Besides, in sects, especially the social on es, are fascinating.One very in teresti ng and useful social in sect is the honey bee. Bees are con sidered social in sects because they live and work together. They cooperate and comm un icate in order to survive. The bee lives in a beehive （蜂窝）with other worker bees, and with the queen z who can lay thousa nds of eggs a day ・ The worker bees make wax used to create new cells in side the hive. Huma ns use this valuable beeswax in can dies, cosmetics, expe nsive fur niture polish, and other products. They also produce honey, a valuable food for humans （as well as for bees）.Ano ther fasci nating social in sect is the ant. Many types of ants live in colonies un derground. There thousands of them build and maintain their ,l city.n They keep it clean and free of enemies・ They also cooperate to provide food, sometimes in a manner that looks human. For example, some antsactually raise their own food. One type of ant “farmer” keeps and cares for tiny in sects that suck sweet sap from plants. Ant farmers milk them for this sap（汁液）,just like actual farmers milk cows. The sap is then given as food to young ants and to the queen, whose main duty is to lay eggs・ Another type of ant that produces its own food does so by gardening・ These farmer ants take pieces of leaves into the colony and chew them up. The soft, chewed up leaves then sprout a fungus（霉菌）that the worker ants use to feed the queen and young ants・ There are many other ways that ants cooperate to maintain and protect their colonies・There are also many other kinds of social insects・ What makes them all so fascinating is their orga nizati on. Although each in sect has certain tasks to perform, the entire hive or colony appears to function as one living organism.88.What does the word pollinate probably mean?A. Fertilize.B. Provide.C. Cultivate.D. Harvest.89・ What is one reason humans think that beeswax is valuable?A.It can only be found in side of a beehive ・B.It provides good food for humans.C.It is used in many helpful products・D.It is a food source for many animals・90.The passage is mainly about _________ .A. different types of in sects B・ the differe nces betwee n bees and antsC. social in sects and their features D・ the differe nces betwee n insects and pests91.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about bees and ants according to the passage?A.They both are social insects who live and work together.B.They both have their own queens whose main duty is to lay eggs・C.They need to communicate and cooperate so as to survive・D.They are fascinating insects who can raise and produce food.（D）In the survey of hospital patie nts, it was found that of the 196 in terviewed, only 22 had listened to the hospital radio service since admission. One of the main reasons given for not listening was that although 50% of the patients knew about the service, only 9% knew the name of the statio n and how to receive it. Of these, only 3% were aware that their trie nds and relatives could send a get-well message or record dedication through the radio service・ Another main cause of the low utilization of the service was the unserviceability of the bedside radio headsets. Of the 22 patients who had listened to the hospital station, ten said the reception was bad, five fair, and only seven said it was good. When asked if they would listen if the reception was better, 75% of the patients who never listened said they would do so. The most popular programs were found to be based on hospital-ward in format! on and n ews, and health educati on; record requests came third・From this survey it was con eluded that hospital radio stati ons needed higher finan cial support to extend their services, and, most importantly, a better maintenance, of the bedside radio headsets should be provided to improve reception of the broadcasts・ There are over 250 independent hospital radio stations in the United Kingdom and they serve about three-quarters of the UK hospitals・Recently a survey was carried out on a random sample of these stations concerning their staffing, broadcasts and finance. Three hospitals also contributed information about the listening habits of almost 200 patients. The findings have been of great assistance to the people involved in patient services and have stimulatedthem to think critically about the radio facilities provided by the hospitals.To obtain information about the hospital radio stations， 30 hospital broadcasting orga nizati ons were ran domly selected and questio nn a ires were sent out. Twenty-four (80%) were returned completed・ From the replies it was found that an "average" station serves three hospitals and involves 33 people in the preparation and broadcasting of programs. Broadcasts are put out for about 28 hours a week, mainly in the evenings and at weekends. Only 17% and 21 % being broadcast in the mor nings and after noons respectively. All the stations used ward visiting to obtain record requests and many publicized their services by other means as well, for example, posters, inserts in patients〃guides and through local newspapers. Only 13% of the radio stations got a fin ancial gra nt from the hospitals, although additi onal fundi ng from volun tary organizati ons such as the hospitals' league of trie nds goes to ano ther 21%. The cost of a radio stati on to the hospital is therefore difficult to estimate, but various hospital administrators gave it as varying between £ 25- £ 2,000 per annum.92.Many of the hospital patients did not listen to the hospital radio because _________ ・A.they were unable to receive it on their bedside headsetsB.their friends and relatives did not use the radio to send messagesC.they didrVt know how to tune their radiosD.they did not know the names of the programs being broadcast93.Three-quarters of the patients interviewed about the radio service wanted _______ .A.technical improvementsB.more factual programsC.fewer record requestsD.in creased medical in formati on94.The most popular method of advertising the radio stations〃services is _______ .A.through hospital publicationsing the local press facilitiesC.approach! ng the patients pers on allyD・ putting up posters in the wards95.Almost a quarter of the radio stations received finance from ____________.A.hospital board grantsB.various voluntary bodiesC.the hospital administrators' estimatesD.a variety of other sources(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.It happens all the time. An employee asks for a salary increase. Your assists nt wants a new pieceof office equipment・ A customer asks for a refund. If you want to say "no" effectively, study these simple principles and use them when you must turn down a request:96. ________When you must turn down a request, determine in advance exactly what you will say. Practice the conversatio n by yourself or with your frie nd so that you will feel more con fide nt.97.______Don't try to soften the blow by leaving some vague hope that things might change in the future・Indefinite suggestions like H maybe we can talk about this issue again in the future11 or ,Td like to see if we can pull this together someday11 will lessen your credibility.9& _______Explain your decisions as thoroughly as you can. To the extent that you are able, discuss the reas ons behi nd your decisi on. While the in dividual may not be en titled to an expla nation, she will appreciate getting one. If your explanation does nothing else, it will position you as a knowledgeable and con cer ned in dividual.99. ______In simple terms, when your employee, customer or associate leaves your office or get off the phone with you, he should feel that you have given him somethi ng of worth ・ It might be sin cere tha nk for the efforts he made, or an hon est expressi on of your con fide nee in him.100. _____The individual you are speaking with will probably not be happy with your decision.
