(30’)AWhen God made the first man, he put him on a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. Here Adam lived din peace with all the animals. God gave Adam eternal (永恒的) life. But Adam was lonely in the garden, so God made Eve. When Adam was asleep one night, God took a rib (肋骨) from him and made Eve, the first woman. Adam was happy when he woke up the next morning and found Eve beside him. God said to them, “Here in theGarden you have everything. But you cannot have one thing: you cannot eat the apples from the Tree of Knowledge.”One day Satan came to the Garden. He changed into a snake and went to live in the Tree of Knowledge. When Eve came near the tree one day, the snake called her.He gave her and apple and said, “Take this apple and eat it. Don’t listen to the God. Eat it.” After Eve took a bite, she took the apple to Adam. He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: It’s good. Here, eat it. Why not? So h e finally ate the apple.Before they ate the apple, Adam and Eve didn’t know that they were naked (裸体的). But now they were ashamed and covered their bodies with leaves. God was angry with them. He said, “Leave the Garden. You cannot stay here.”When Adam and Eve left the garden, they had their first experience of pain and hard work in the cold hard world outside.36.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north, and Mexico to the south.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented (代表) of the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. Indians were the first inhabitants (居民) of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of the descendants (后代) of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans.”Most Americans, however, are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land. Those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than of any other country in the world.41. What countries are neighbors of the United States? DA. CanadaB. EnglandC. MexicoD. Both A and C42. At the beginning there were __ D____ states, but now there are _____ states.A. 30, 50B. 43, 48C. 30, 52D. 13, 5043. The states are represented on the American flag by __C_____.A. sunsB. moonsC. starsD. earths44. The first inhabitants of American were __C___.A. the English peopleB. people from all over the worldC. the American IndiansD. the Americans45. The customs and culture of the United States are more like those of England than of any other country because __ D___.A. the language of the United States is EnglishB. the American were the first inhabitants of North AmericaC. people from other countries did not come to America.D. the early immigrants who came to America were mostly from England.CThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of he window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some w omen and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves.Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train? CA. They will stand up reluctantlyB. They will offer her their seats after a whileC. They will pretend not to see herD. They will get off the bus47.Which of the following statements is true? DA. Men have become less and less polite to women.B The women are thought of as the weaker sex.C. The women could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48. Why are some women likely to get angry when a man holds the door open for them? BA. Because the man should not hold the door open.B. Because they think they are looked down upon.C. Because they are treated too politely.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is re placing men’s gestures of politeness?BA. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelingsC. More equal treatment to women in every respect.D. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.50.What can we learn from this passage? DA. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards menC. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.V. Translation. (15’)1. 去看芭蕾舞 (ballet) 对她来说真是一件乐事！It's a great treat for her to go to the ballet.2. 史密斯先生和他的妻子刚从美国回来。

Before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our 23 time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For example,we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go 24 for our amusement, to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events.

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He alwaystakes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up，but during the rest ofthe year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses ofpeople on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. Hiscustomers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month，he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day，Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes，when Billy is sick，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once，Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now，but he hopes to get more soon. Someday，if he gets more customers，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle. 31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy ______. [A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family [C] has to pay for his school tuition [D] is independent and self-confident 32. He did his work ______. [A] perfectly well [B] twice a week [C] only for fun [D] to support his family 33. To deliver newspapers means ______. [A] to post newspapers [B] to send newspapers[C] to sell newspapers [D] None of the above. 34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is ______. [A] to get some money for college education [B] to have some tips[C] to have more customers [D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is ______. [A] a trip to Europe [B] a new bicycle [C] a tip [D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem your own person and，for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about _____. [A] friendship [B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents [D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，\[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others [C] acceptance and friendship [D] our friends' advice38. \ [A] acting according to your own beliefs and values [B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs [D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on _____. [A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs [C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers 40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _____. [A] Teacher[B] Father [C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.（音乐广播网）To begin with，\was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere.Recently，however，it's become big business - thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isn't always answer. liman found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！ 41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______. [A] it is harmless everywhere [B] it can boost salesin all places[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere [D] it can help to have more meals 42. Background music means ______. [A] light music [B] slow music [C] fast music[D] the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______. [A] it results in indigestion [B] it keeps customers moving [C] it increases their sales [D] it decreases their sales44. The word \[A] slow music [B] light music [C] fast music [D]classical music 45. According to this passage, we learned that ______ [A] Dr. Milliman made background music.[B] background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.[C] Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat. [D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV. Translation.

Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

With a car people can go any place without spending a lotof money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United Statesas they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system ofair-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one; though. The American spiritof independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans don’t liketo wait for a bus; or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.

Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true T or false F.Passage 1In the old days; divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk; because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships; but they also try to bring tothe surface the ships themselves; or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years; it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania"; which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300;000 or more. The ship; lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1;200;000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship; when he has brought them to the surface; for about $ 600;000. T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania”for more than $ million.F54. The ship “Lusitania”sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned.F55. In the past; divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship exceptmetals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past; work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However; nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore; they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example; those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides; people can go swimming in summer and go skating in winter. In short; no matter what their interests are; people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However; the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged; Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly; will it benefit people’s health; work and s tudy.T56. Nowadays; more people realize the importance of physical exercise.F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football. F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it.can always find one or more sports that benefit their health; work and study. IV.

In my opinion; it is essential to do the following.First; it is absolutely necessary to take 42 exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat fasterand the lungs work harder. This 43 the heart; reduces the chance of heart attack; and helps 44 blood pressure. That’s why more and more peopleare becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises. Every morning 45 people get up early and take much exercise. Some practice Tai Ji Quanand swordplay 46 others run; jog; walk or dance to music. In the afternoon; there are also many people keen down sports. Some play basketballor volleyball or table tennis; others 47 gymnastics or track events. Through sports and exercises; people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health. They 48 people to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat suchas beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish. Fatcan build up in the arteries; block the flow of blood; and cause a heart attackor stroke.Getting rid of bad habits 49 smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and drinking alcohol injure one’s health a great deal; and therefore should be given up. Unfortunately few people follow this advice.If people follow these three ways of keeping 50 ; they can greatly improve their health.41-45:DBDCC 46-50: ADABB41. A. of B. at C. for D. to42.

There are so many kinds of entertainment; such as sports activities; performances; plays and movies in the world. Of course; it is impossible for us to be on every spot; even with the best means of transportation of our time. However; TV can bring them right in front of us and with them our life is full of joys.Above all; watching TV is educational. Education TV service offers teaching programs on all subjects for people of different professions as well as for students; children and aged people.

Are you often late for work or school? Yes? Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed wil l get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm c lock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape record er in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few mi nutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be l oud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot”is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the b ed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and low er. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto t he floor. You are awake and out of bed.Hiroyuki make his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He w orks for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a con test —the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 196 0s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to s tart and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain“k ey”times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an a greed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, a voidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability t o be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers’point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the worker a greater s ense of duty.11.According to the passage, the _________invented the “flexible working hours”.A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British12. The phrase “catch on”(in Para. 1) most probably means ________ _.A. understandB. become popularC. perceiveD. seize13. What is one of the advantages of “flextime”for workers?A. They can earn more moneyB. They can avoid busy traffic.C. They will do less work.D. They can avoid working hard.14. Which one is NOT an advantage of “flextime”for employers?A. A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.15. The author _________“flextime”according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. hatesPassage 3Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicat e past events and to send messages to people far away.Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they d o not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas.How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never k now. However, we do know that as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelin gs and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a gr eater number of things. He began to make more and more different so unds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, wor ds, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of t he world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. To day, we call these systems ”languages”.There are now about five thousand different languages and di alects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of wo rds.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat them?A. Because they don’t understand the meaning of the words.B. Because they cannot put them into sentences.C. Because they cannot remember them.D. Because they don’t often use them.17. How did human beings first learn languages?A. Maybe nobody will know.B. Surely we’ll know later.C. Certainly nobody knows.D. Perhaps we have known.18. Why did man need to use more sounds as man’s knowledge increase d?A. In order to form words.B. In order to communicate about more things.C. In order to develop a language.D. In order to sing songs.19. What are languages?A. They are sounds.B. They are w ords.C. They are systems of sounds and words.D. They are letters.20. How many languages are there in the world?A. 15, 000.B. 5,000.C. 500.D. 50,000. Passage 4Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how the y could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, stree ts, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realized fully what Ed ison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too import ant to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would ha ve led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edision’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their l ights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.21.

Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.Passage 11 Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano (火山) broke out. The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.2 As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break into pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.3 Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow at first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insec ts couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.1. The main point of the passage is ____A____.A) how an island formedB) how an volcano broke outC) how plants were brought to the islandD) how plants and animals began to live on an island in the sea2. According to the passage, ____A____ made the island rise up in the sea.A) hot liquid rock from the undersea volcanoB) sand brought by the windC) rock from the nearest islandD) sea waves3. The word “dash” (in Para. 2) means ____D____.A) smash B) destroy C) perform D) rush4. Why couldn’t animals live on the island before plants?（D）A) Because it was too hot on the bare island.B) Because it rained too much.C) Because there was no water.D) Because they couldn’t find food.5. Which order of coming into being on the volcano-produced island is right?（D）A) Hot liquid rock, animals and plants.B) Soil, hot liquid rock and plants.C) Spiders, birds and plants.D) Soil, plants and animals.Passage 21 Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport—the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself. He has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.2 A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense，winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.3 Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.4 So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.6. The main idea of the passage is _____C___.A) to tell us that football is the most important sport in the worldB) to compare Argentina with EnglandC) to explain the role of sportD) to tell us the fact only children can enjoy themselves in sports games7. The athlete representing his country only thinks about winning because _____D___.A) the games are too competitive B) he wants to make a lot of moneyC) he wants to enjoy himselfD) he fights for the nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation8. The underlined word “summit” in Paragraph 2 means ____A____.A) highest point B) mountain top C) example D) perfection9. Thousands of Scots sold their cars and houses, and went to Argentina, because _____B___.A) they wanted to have a tripB) they wanted to see the finals of the World CupC) they wanted to live thereD) they loved Argentina very much10. Which of the following statements is true?（A）A) The Argentinean football team proved the best one.B) International competition kills the idea of sport.C) Sports fans and supporters are crazy about the World Cup.D) The essence of sport is winning.Passage 31 The pine (松) tree is a special kind of tree. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree. This is because many people put pine trees in their homes at Christmas time.2 Pine trees are different from other trees because most other trees lose their leaves in the winter. Pine trees stay green all year long, even in the winter. Pine trees are also called evergreens because they are always green. Pine trees do not have soft leaves like other trees. They have hard, thin leaves. Pine trees also have pine cones. If you walk in a forest, you will see many pine cones on the ground. Inside the pine cones are seeds. When the seeds fall to the ground, a new tree starts to grow.3 Pine trees are useful for many reasons. The wood is used to make many things, such as tables, beds and boats. Many kinds of birds build their homes in pine trees. The seeds of pine trees are food for some small and big animals.4 If you walk in a forest of pine trees, the air has a wonderful smell. In winter, the white snow on the dark green trees looks very beautiful.11. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree because ___B___.A) pine trees are green at Christmas timeB) pine trees are put in people’s homes at Christmas timeC) the pine tree is a special kind of treeD) pine trees never lose their leaves in the winter12.

The purpose of the passage is ___A___.A) to introduce the pine tree B) to praise the pine treeC) to encourage people to plant pine trees D) to tell us a story about a Christmas treePassage 41 (Business between the Middle East and the West has grown tremendously in the last twenty years. Cultural differences sometimes cause problems in carrying out business transactions. This article gives suggestions to Western businessmen and salesmen who do business in the Arab world. It is intended to help them understand polite customs and practices in the Middle East.)2 Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official or executive always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality.3 The “conference visit” is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequent ly, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.4 “Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.5 Patience is an important quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high-level government officials as they are very busy. Give yourself enough time.6 Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to doing business in Arab countries. Try to identify the decision-maker regarding your product or service immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical questions.7 Familiarize yourself with the Moslem (穆斯林) and national holidays. Avoid a visit during Ramadan, the Moslem month of fasting. Most Arab countries have a six-day workweek from Saturday through Thursday. When matched with the Monday to Friday practice in most Western countries, it leaves only three and a half workdays shared. Remember this in planning your appointments. Moslems do not eat pork. Some are strict about the religion’s prohibition against alcoholic beverages. If you are not sure, wait for your host to suggest the proper thing to drink.8 When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe”. When he says maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab be cause it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want to close his options. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshallah”, which means, “If God is willing.” On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.16. What is the main idea of this article?（D）A) The special expressing mode of Arabs.B) Arabs’ customs in the business field.C) Differences between Arab and Western manners.D) Suggestions on doing business with Arabs17. The word “vagueness” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced with ____B____.A) DifferenceB) UnclearnessC) DifficultyD) Distinction18. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?（C）A) Moslems do not eat pork and they all like drinking.B) A nod of an Arab definitely means an agreement.C) You may be interrupted by strangers when talking business.D) When an Arab says “inshallah”, he usually means “yes”.19. It is polite in Arab countries to ____B____.A) show displeasure at being interruptedB) prepare drinks for Arab business partnerC) make quick decisionsD) visit during Ramadan20. Which of the followings is NOT so important in Arab countries?（A）A) punctuality B) personal relationshipsC) politeness D) patienceV.

Reading Comprehension.Passage 1How can a single postage stamp be worth 16,800？Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to st amp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hu ndred years ag o in the B ritish colony of Mauritius，a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a Lond on printer - Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered，a ball was planned at Mauritius's Government House，and stamps were needed to send ou t the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the desig n for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words 'Post Office' instead of 'P ost Paid'o n the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of the Two-penny Blue's rareness and age，collectors have paid as much as 16,800 for it.31. A postage stamp's value to collectors is raised if __D____.[A] there are few others like it[B] there are no errors on the stamp[C] a mistake is made in the printing[D] both A and C32. Mauritius is the name of ___B___.[A] an island kingdom[B] a British colony[C] a province of India[D] a London printer33.

Implied but not stated：__D____[A] All correctly printed stamps are worthless.[B] Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.[C] The printer was pu nished for his mistake.[D] Collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes.35. The best title for this passage is _B_____.[A] The 'P ost Paid' Error[B] T he T wo-penny Blue[C] A London Printer's Error[D] How Mauritius Became FamousPassage 2When the weather is hot，you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot，but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot，the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel the cool air when it moves in. Y ou feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course，scientists cannot answer all of ou r questions. If we ask，"Why is the ocean full of salt?"，scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold，it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. Bu t then we ask，"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean d oes not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure abou t the answer to this question.We know a lot abou t our world. Bu t there are still many answers that we do not have，and we are cu rious.36. The main idea of this passage is __C___.[A] people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean[B] scientists can explain everything we want to know[C] scientists can explain many things but not ev erything[D] the salt in the ocean comes from rocks37. You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because __D___.[A] the water is cold[B] the earth is hot[C] the water is colder than the earth[D] cool air from the water mov es towards the land38. Now scientists know __A___.[A] what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer[B] everything abou t the ocean[C] why the ocean does not get more and more salty[D] what happens to the salt in the ocean39. A rock cracks when __D___.[A] rain falls [B] it gets very hot[C] it gets very cold[D] either B or C40. People are always curious because __C___.[A] they know nothing abou t the world[B] they know little abou t the world[C] there are answers they do not hav e[D] either A or BPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. 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 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call commu nicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused b y a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one nig ht to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solu tion, they went to see the plant manager and woke him u p to tell him what had been decided. Unfortu nately, they did not know that it is a very serio us matter to wake u p Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occu rred to him (or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41. According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? __C___[A] V ery impolite．[B] Not usual．[C] V ery urgent．[D] Not necessary.42. At which of the following hou rs is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? ___A__[A]11：00am．[B] 11：30pm．[C] 5：00am．[D] 12：00pm.43. Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him u p?__B___[A] To have a talk with him．[B] T o inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him．[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44. What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives'arrival?__D___[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believ ed there was a fight and called the police at once.45. What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at mid night? _D____[A] Concern．[B] Fear．[C] Excitement．[D] All of the abov e.IV. Blanking filling.

It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America ’s War of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx (涌入) of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The thirdPart II. Reading Comprehension (40%)newcomer----the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified (批准，认可) a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted (驱逐), were replaced by a homegrown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) The United States: An isolated CommunityB) Breathtaking Events during the American RevolutionC) Canada and the American war of IndependenceD) The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution32. In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and RussianRevolutions?A) They were explosive and abrupt.B) They were ineffective.C) They involved only those people living in urban areas.D) They led to the release of all political prisoners. 33. In line 7 what does the author mean by “people went on working and praying, marrying and playing”? A) More people got married than divorced.B) The war created new jobs.C) Life went on as usual. D) People had more than enough leisure time.34. In the second paragraph, the author states that the colonies struggle for self-government preceded the creation of all of the following countries EXCEPT_____.A) Canada B) the United States C) Australia D) the United Kingdom 35. It can be inferred from the passage that the loyalists who escaped to Canada were _____.A) Russian B) French C) British D) AustralianPassage TwoSome of the most beautiful caves are formed in glaciers (冰川). Streams of melting ice and snow tunnel through the glaciers the same way that water from a faucet melts its way through an ice cube. Water from the surface drips down through cracks, hollowing out the tunnels and decorating the caves with crystal icicles. The smooth walls and floors are so glasslike that pebbles frozen six feet deep can easily be seen. Crystal-clear icicles draping from the ceilings flash blue-green, as though they were carved from precious jewels instead of ice. Although most of the cave ice in the United States is found in lava caves, there are a number of limestone ice caves as well. Some people believe that this ice was formed thousands of years ago, when temperatures were much colder than they are today. Others think that the cave ice broke off from the ancient glaciers as they spread over the country. Today many cave scientists have another idea. They believe that cold water sinks down through cracks into these caves until the temperature is chilly enough to freeze the water that seeps (渗入) in. The ice that forms keep the cave cool, and that helps build up still more ice. Many caves become covered with so much ice that no one knows just how thick it is. In some, such as Crystal Falls Cave in Idaho, there are frozen rivers and even 装订线内不要答题frozen waterfalls. Native Americans and early settlers used to store food in these underground refrigerators and chip out blocks of ice to melt for drinking water.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:36．What does the passage mainly discuss?A)Characteristics of glaciers.B)Uses for ice caves.C)The origin of cave ice.]D)Where glaciers can be found.37. According to many of today’s cave scientists, what causes ice to build up in caves?A)Rivers and waterfalls supply water.B)Icicles accumulate on the ceilings.C)Cave ice breaks off glaciers.D)Cold water seeps in and freezes.38. It can be inferred from the passage that the early settlers in the Unites States appreciated theice caves for their ______.A) practicality B) beautiful interiorsC) historical value D) precious gems39. The author compares icicles to precious jewels based on which of the following?A) Appearance. B) Cost.C) Method of formation. D) Availability.40. Where is most of the cave ice in the United States found?A) In lava caves. B) In ancient glaciers.C) On cave ceilings. D) In cave cracks.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages:With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerned and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging.A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo.Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas’ plight has resulted in a new $100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund dries both in China and abroad.In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China’s ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared aprotected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trunks still roll down the narrow mountain roads, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.This all means that the panda’s fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they must still contend with man.41. Efforts to save the endangered pandas _________.A)have met with setbacks but brought hopeB)have proven highly successfulC)have failed completelyD)have received no response from the scientists42. Which of the following threatens pandas’ survival in the Wolong preserve?A)Local population.B)Economic development.C)Unfavorable environment.D)All of the above.43. All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCEPT__________.A)the large-scale fund-raising drivesB)the reproduction of panda offspring during captivityC)the rescue of the injured and the sickD)the cultivation of new bamboo forests44. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A)Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the panda relief programB)it is too late to rescue the endangered pandasC)the survival of pandas is an international concernD)the lovely pandas will soon die out45. The tone of the author’s conclusion concerning pandas’ survival is _______.A) worried B) optimistic C) angry D) impersonalPassage FourWe use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them to do; and, of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion, day in, and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, form editors and commentators, but most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speakers’ purpose.An appeal to motion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist and they are part of our personality. On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on the highest levels and fromthe best of motives. A case in point is Churchill ’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group--- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the content in which it is made. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:46. The passage discusses the emotive language, whose major functions are to ______.A) show one ’s feelings and appeal to these of othersB) make others trust us and respond to our feelingC) extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purposeD) advertise and produce the wanted social effects47. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is _____.A) the religious circles B) the academic lectureC) the mass media D) the advertising business48. The third paragraph of this passage suggests that we __________.A) have to carefully use our emotive languageB) need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or badC) should keep a cool head when subjected to different kinds of persuasionsD) should avoid being easily seen through by and appeal form others49. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as _______.A) a good example of the way of weighting up persuasion by reasoningB) a famous leader who brought out people ’s best feelingsC) a positive example of appealing to people ’s emotionD) a known politician who was good at lecturing50. From the passage we can get that a persuasive speaker must ________.A) find out what group his audience is attached toB) differentiate his speech patterns from time to timeC) be aware of the way of adapting his speaking way to the needs of the audienceD) know whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or not51. The shy girl felt ____ and uncomfortable when she could not answer her teacher ’s questions.A. amazedB. awkwardC. curiousD. amused52. Those gifts o rare books that were given t us were deeply _____.A. appreciatedB. approvedC. appealedD. applied53. I hate people who ____ the end of a film that you haven ’t seen before.A. revealB. rewriteC. reviseD. reverse54.
