For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Read each passage carefully and decideon the best answer.Passage OnePeoplein the mass advertising business and other peoplewho study America n society have been very interes ted in the questio n: What does the America n consume r like? Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied America n society, has said that America n consumers are particu larlyfond of three things:comfort, cleanli ness, and novelty.Lernerbelieve s that the America n love of comfort perhaps goes back to the frontie r experie nce. The pioneer s had a rough life on the frontie r and very few comfort s. This experie nce may have created a strongdesirein the pioneer s and their childre n for goods that would make life more comfort able. Today, the America ns’ love of comfort is seen in the way they furnish their homes, the way they designtheir cars, and the way they like to travel.Cleanliness is also highlyvaluedby America ns. There is a strongemphasis on keeping all parts of the body clean. Perhaps the Puritan (清教徒) heritage has playedsome role in the desirefor cleanliness. The Puritans, a strictProtest ant churchgroup who were among the first settler s of America, stresse d the need to cleanse the body of dirt and of all evil tendenc ies. The saying“Cleanli ness is next to Godline ss” reflect s the beliefof most America ns that it is importa nt to keep their bodiesclean by takinga bath and wearing clean clothes every day. Indeed,many America ns are offende d by anyonewho does not followtheir accepte d standar ds of cleanli ness.In additio n to cleanli ness and comfort, America ns love novelty. They love to have thingsthat are new and conveni ent. Perhaps the love of novelty comes from their pride in their inventi veness. America ns have alwaysbeen interes ted in inventi ng new product s and improvi ng old ones. They like to see changes in cars, clothin g, and product s for the home. New modelsof cars are particu larlyappeali ng. Adverti sement s encoura ge peopleto get rid of old cars and try new ones, whether the old ones still work or not. The America n economy seems to be based on consump tion, not conserv ation.61. The best title for the passage is ______. ( )A. What America n Consume rs LikeB. The Stupidi ty of the America n Consume rsC. America n Consume rs and Puritan Heritag eD. Frontie r Experie nce and Puritan Heritag e62. According to the author, the America n consume rs are fond of the following except______.( )A. comfort and cleanli nessB. novelty and conveni enceC. clean clothes and fine housesD. thriftand economy63. The American love of comfort can be shown in the way they ______. ( )A. love new modelsof carB. eat in fast-food restaur antsC. designtheir cars and furnish their homesD. wear clean clothes and take bath every day64. America ns’ love of cleanliness is believed to be associa ted with ______. ( )A. their livingstandar dB. their lifesty leC. their Puritan traditi onD. their advance d technol ogy65. In general, America ns are interes ted in the following EXCEPT______. ( )A. inventi ng new product sB. improvi ng old product sC. buyingthingsthat are popularD. buyingthingsthat are unknown beforePassage TwoThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Informa tion in long-term memorycan be recalle d at a later time when it is needed. The informa tion may be kept for days or weeks. In contras t, information in short-term memoryis kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the informa tion over and over. The following experim ent shows how short-term memoryhas been studied.Henning studied how student s who are learnin g English as a secondlanguag e remembe r vocabul ary. The subject s in his experim ent were 75 college student s. They represe nted all levelsof ability in English: beginni ng, interme diate, advance d, and nativespeakin g student s.To begin with, the subjects listened to recording of a nativespeaker reading a paragra ph in English. Following the recording, the subject s took a 17-questio n test to see which words they remembe red. Eachquestio n had four choices. The subject s had to circle the word they had heard in the recordi ng. Some of the questio ns had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetterare four words that sound alike. Some of the questio ns had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and systemwould be four words with the same meaning. Finally, the subject s took a languag e profici ency test.Henning found that student s with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistake s on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning student s hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advance d students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.66. The purpose of Henning’s experim ent is to study ______. ( )A. how the student s remembe r English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how the student s learn English vocabul aryC. how to improve the student s’ English vocabul aryD. how to take a languag e profici ency test67. The word “subject”in the passage most probably means ______. ( )A. the college coursethe student s takeB. the topic of the listeni ng materia lC. somethi ng being conside redD. the student s experim entedon68. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A. Informa tion in short-term memoryis differe nt from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memorycan be achieve d only by trainin g.C. It is easierto test short-term memorythan long-term memory.D. Henning gave a test on vocabul ary to his student s.69. From Henning’s results we can see that ______. ( )A. beginne rs have difficu lty disting uishin g the pronunc iation of wordsB. advance d student s remembe r words by their meaningC. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that sound alikeD. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that have the same meaning70. The passage is primarily about ______. ( )A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experim ent on studentsPassage ThreeStudy confirm s that moderat e drinkin g reduces stroke(中风) risk. Similar to the way a drink or two a day protect s against heart attacks, moderat e alcohol consump tion wards off strokes, a new study found.The study also found that the type of alcohol consume d—beer, wine or liquor—was unimpor tant. Any of them, or a combina tion was protect ive, researc hers reporte d in today’s Journal of the America n MedicalAssocia tion. “No study has shown benefit in recomme ndingalcohol to those who do not drink”, caution ed the authors, led by Dr. Ralph L. Sacco of Columbi a Univers ity College of Physici ans and Surgeon s in New York. But the new data support the guideli nes of the Nationa l StrokeAssocia tion, which say moderat e drinker s may protect themsel ves from strokes by continu ing to consume alcohol, the authors said.The protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacks is well established, but the data had been conflic ting about alcohol and strokes, the authors said. The new study helps settlethe questio n and is the first to find blacksand Hispanics (西班牙人和葡萄牙人) benefit as well as whites, according to the authors. Further researc h is neededamong other groups, such as Asian, who past study suggest ed may get no strokeprotect ion from alcohol or may even be put at greater risk.Among the groupswhere the protect ive effectexists, its mechanism appears to differfrom the protective effect against heart attacks, which occursthrough boostsin levelsof so-called“good”cholest erol (胆固醇), the authors said. They specula ted alcohol might protect against strokeby actingon some other blood trait, such as the tendency of blood platele ts (血小板) to clump (结块), which is key in forming the blood clots (血块) that can cause strokes.The researc hers studied677 New York residen ts who lived in the norther n part of Manhatt an and had strokes between July 1, 1993 and June, 1997. After takinginto account differe nces in other factors that could affectstrokerisk, such as high blood pressur e, the researc hers estimat ed that subject s who consume d up to two alcoholic drinksdaily were only half as likelyto have suffere d clot-type strokes as nondrin kers. Clot-type strokes account for 80% of all strokes, a leading cause of the US deathsand disability. Strokerisk increas ed with heavier drinkin g. At seven drinksper day, risk was almosttriplethat of moderat e drinker s.An expertspokesm an for the America n Heart Associa tion, who was not involve d in the study, said it was well-done and importa nt informa tion. But it shouldn’t be interpr eted to mean, “I can have two drinksand therefo re not worry about my high blood pressur e or worry about my cholest erol,”said Dr. Edgar J. Kenton, an associa te profess or of clinica l neurolo gy (神经学) at ThomasJeffers on Univers ity Medical College in Philadelphia. Instead, he said, the study provides good reasonto do further researc h and to add alcohol to the list of modifia ble (可更改的) risk factors for stroke.71. According to Dr. Sacco, ______. ( )A. differe nt wines work differe ntly on drinker s at strokeriskB. nondrin kers shouldalso consume a moderat e amountof alcoholC. drinker s shouldkeep to one kind of alcohol to ward off strokesD. moderat e alcohol consump tion protect s against strokes72. The new study conduct ed by Dr. Sacco and his colleagues is uniquein that ( )A. it refutes early studies on the protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksB. it confirm s early studies of moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksC. it helps to resolve the dispute s over the effectof moderat e drinkin g against strokesD. it finds that moderat e drinkin g can benefit peopleof differe nt races equally well73. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE about the effectof drinkin g against strokes? ( )A. Moderat e drinkin g protect s against heart attacks and strokes in differe nt ways.B. Even heavy drinker s sufferless chanceof a strokethan nondrin kers.C. Alcohol works only on patient s who sufferclot-type strokes.D. White peopleare more likelyto benefit from moderat e drinkin g than nonwhit es.74. From the fourthparagra ph we learn that ______. ( )A. heart attacks are more likelycausedy alcohol than stroke.B. moderat e drinkin g discour ages blood platele ts from clottin g.C. boostin g the levelsof good cholest erol can lead to heart attacks.D. moderat e drinkin g protect s peopleby makingthe blood cell clump.75. What is said in the last paragra ph by Dr. Kentonindicat es that ______. ( )A. he is in serious doubt about the validit y of the study.B. drinkin g alone can not protect against strokes.C. peopleshouldadd alcohol to their daily diet.D. the study has not built a link between drinkin g and high blood pressur e.Passage FourCommuni cation s technol ogiesare far from equal when it comes to conveyi ng the truth. The first study to compare honesty acrossa range of communi cation s media has found that peopleare twice as likelyto tell lies in phone convers ations as they are in emails. The fact that emailsare automat ically recorded - and can come back to haunt (困扰) you - appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell Univers ity in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 student s to keep a communi cation s diary for a week. In it they noted the numberof convers ations or email exchang es they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confess ed to how many lies they told. Hancock then workedout the numberof lies per conversationfor each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant message s, 27 per cent of face-to-face interac tionsand an astonis hing 37 per cent of phone calls.His results, to be present ed at the confere nce on human-compute r interac tion in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surpris ed psychologists. Some expecte d emailer s to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception (欺骗) makes peopleuncomfo rtable, the detachm ent (非直接接触)of emailin g would make it easierto lie. Othersexpecte d peopleto lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practic ed at that form of communi c ation.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a convers ationis being recorde d and could be reread,andwhether it occursin real time. Peopleappearto be afraidto lie when they know the communi cation could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appearin email than on the phone.Peopleare also more likelyto lie in real time —in an instant message or phone call，say —than if they have time to think of a respons e, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpec ted demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”Hancock hopes his researc h will help compani es work out the best ways for their employe es to communi cate. For instanc e, the phone might be the best mediumfor sales where employe es are encoura ged to stretch the truth. But given his results, work assessm ent, where honesty is a priorit y, might be best done using email.76. Hancock’s study focuses on ______. ( )A. the consequ encesof lying in various communi cation s mediaB. the success of communi cation s technol ogiesin conveyi ng ideasC. people’s prefere nces in selecti ng communi cation s technol ogiesD. people’s honesty levelsacrossa range of communi cation s media77. Hancock’s researc h finding surpris ed those who believe d that ______. ( )A. peopleare less likelyto lie in instant message sB. peopleare unlikely to lie in face-to-face interac tionsC. peopleare most likelyto lie in email communi cationD. peopleare twice as likelyto lie in phone convers ations78. According to the passage, why are peoplemore likelyto tell the truth through certain media of communication? ( )A. They are afraidof leaving behindtracesof their lies.B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.D. They are most practic ed at those forms of communi cation.79. According to Hancock, the telephone is a prefera ble mediumfor promoting sales because______. ( )A. salesme n can talk directl y to their custome rsB. salesme n may feel less restrai ned to exagger ateC. salesme n can impress custome rs as being trustwo rthyD. salesme n may pass on instant message s effecti vely80. It can be inferre d from the passage that ______. ( )A. honesty shouldbe encoura ged in interpe rsonal communi cation sB. more employe rs will use emailsto communi cate with their employe esC. suitabl e media shouldbe chosenfor differe nt communi cation purpose sD. email is now the dominan t mediumof communi cation withina companyPart IV Transla tion (15%)Directions A: Transla t e the following into Chinese.81.
