公共英语等级考试（PETS）二级真题3

CThe research was done by a Dr. Griffiths in England. He compared the behavior of 15 regular gamblers(赌徒) with those of 15 non regular gamblers before and after they gambled. Both groups had increased heart rates(⼼率) during gambling because it was exciting. But the regular gamblers’ heart rates went down almost straight after the game, while thenon regulars remained excited and had increased heart rates for longer.When the heart beat increases, the body produces chemicals called endorphins which make you feel good. Dr. Griffiths thinks that regular gamblers lose this good feeling soon after a game and need to play again quickly to regain the pleasure. He has also discovered that regular gamblers have different psychological reactions(⼼理反应) from non regular gamblers. In an experiment where regular and non regular gamblers thought aloud while playing, regular gamblers had far more unreasonable thoughts. In their minds they turned losses into near wins. Dr. Griffiths thinks that nearly winning gives the gambler a high in the same way that a win would do.Based on Dr. Griffiths’ research, doctors suggest that one way to help regular gamblers to give up gambling is to give them beta blockers — drugs that stop them getting a high in the first place.64.Dr. Griffiths’ research helps you find out .［A］which group of gamblers played the game better［B］a chemical to increase gamblers’ heart beat［C］a way to help gamblers give up gambling［D］when gamblers should be given drugs65.How did Dr. Griffiths discover the gamblers’feelings when winning and losing?［A］By examining the different chemicals in gamblers’bodies.［B］By asking the gamblers to speak aloud their feelings.［C］By asking the gamblers to discuss their ideas.［D］By testing the gamblers’heart beat.66.The underlined words “a high” probably mean “”.［A］a feeling of happiness［B］a reasonable thought［C］a great expectation［D］an exciting idea67.According to the text, what do we know about non regular gamblers?［A］Their bodies produce less endorphins during the game.［B］They don’t consider losses in a game as reasonable near wins.［C］Their bodies have no reaction to beta blockers.［D］They have faster heart rates during the game.DIt was probably around 3 000 years ago that people first began making things to help them measure the passage of time. Having noticed that shadows move around trees as the sun moves across the sky, someone drew a circle and put a stick in the center. As the sun passed overhead, people could tell which part of the day it was by noticing which mark on the circle the shadow fell across. These circles were called “sundials”. Later, they were made of stone and metal to last longer.Of course, a sundial did not work at night or on cloudy days, so men kept inventing(发明) other ways to keep track of time. After glass blowing was invented, the hourglass came into use. An hourglass is a glass container for measuring time in which sand moves slowly from the top half to the bottom in exactly one hour. The hourglass is turned over every hour so the sand could flow again.One of the first clocks with a face and an hour hand was built for a king of France and placed in the tower of his palace. The clock did not show minutes or seconds. Since there were no planes or trains to catch, people were not worried about knowing the exact time. Gradually, clocks began to be popular and unusual. One clock was in the shape of a cart with a horse and driver. One of the wheels was the face of the clock.Today, scientists have invented clocks that tell the correct time to a split second. Many electric clocks are often made with built in radios, which can sometimes be set to turn on automatically(⾃动地). Thus, instead of an alarm(闹铃) ringing in your ear, you can hear soft music playing when it is time to get up. Some clocks will even start the coffee maker!68.In the first paragraph, the word “sundial” refers to .［A］the shadow of the sun［B］the circle on the ground［C］a tool to carry stones［D］a timekeeper69.In what way was the hourglass better than the sundial?［A］It could be used under any weather conditions.［B］It could be turned over and over again.［C］It was made of glass.［D］It could last longer.70.Besides telling the time, a modern electric clock can .［A］answer phone calls［B］say your name［C］start a small machine［D］cook different food71.What is the best title for the passage?［A］Clocks of Our Lives［B］What Can a Clock Tell Us［C］Clock through Time［D］Clocks Change People’s LivesE“When one of the doctors criticizes(批评) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that I’m not wrong.” says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction(反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism.1.Try to be objective(客观). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale,” Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.”2.Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person’s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it.3.Take positive(积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing.” “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,”says Sheila. “His criticisms didn’t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.” In Sheila’s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, that’s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn’t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.72.When Sol was criticized by his employer, he .［A］argued bitterly with his employer［B］was angry and gave up his job［C］was sorry for what he did［D］was sad and self pitying73.According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because .［A］people may have a mistaken idea of what you did［B］you should welcome other people’s opinions［C］people may discuss it with you in depth［D］you need time to understand yourself74.When the writer says that “the best answer may be ‘nothing’”, he means you may decide .［A］to take no notice of the criticism［B］to argue with your boss［C］you need to change your job［D］you’ve done nothing wrong75.The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss .［A］didn’t like her appearance［B］refused to change his opinion［C］made an unreasonable criticism［D］refused to talk to her about the criticism。

09年PETS二级考试模拟试题及答案解析（七）4

( C ) I wonder why American towns looks so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. The standard influence(影响)of mass production whose agents(代理商)are the travelling salesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I think the reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people. 44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis 45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production 46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common ( D ) Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it. We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(⾏星). 47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together 48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because __________. A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sun B. another star happened to come near the sun C. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth D. the star moved away from the sun 49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formed C. no one knows where the earth comes from D. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun 50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets 51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________. A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it B. how the high mountains were formed on the sun C. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful D. where the planets in the universe came from ( E ) Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners. The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does not wait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is because of cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly. In English, it is easy to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say "No". To refuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish(⾃私)and unfriendly. Soinstead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying "No". These enable them to avoid hurting other people's feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow. 52. Paragraph one tells us that ______________ . A. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in Japan B. Japan is a very important country for businessmen C. business contacts between Japan and the West are important D. Japanese businessmen do business all around the world 53. The word "bewilder" in paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. tireB. interestC. puzzleD. surprise 54. From the passage we can know that _____________. A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japanese ones B. American businessmen like to say "Yes" and "No" C. Americans usually say what they are thinking D. Americans do not express themselves clearly 55. The passage tells us that ________. A. Japanese businessmen are good at business B. foreign businessmen should first try to understand Japanese C. foreign businessmen must be more polite D. if you want to succeed you must learn from Japan。

In one box, she came across a magazine of June 2, 1986.There's a reason Christine had saved the magazine for 20 years. In its pages, she was one of more than a dozen women reported in an article discussing the "cruel reality" of their poor marriage prospects (前景). At the time Christine was living in Chicago and greatly annoyed by the fact that her social life didn't seem to be progressing toward a trip down the aisle. "I had a lot of girlfriends in the same boat," she says.But a funny thing happened. At age 40, she married; a few weeks ago she and her husband celebrated their 10th anniversary (周年纪念). Today she' s the happy mom to two children from her husband's first marriage. Looking back on her single days, she remembers her unhappiness. "I had the same feeling that many women have, which is that you're not considered a whole person unless you're married with children," she says. "But as I reached my 40s, I realized that was totally wrong ... I could still have a very fulfilling life. " It was only after she' d come to peace with the fact that she might never marry that she met her future husband while shopping in a supermarket.To mark the 20th anniversary of this story, reporters sought out as many of the women in the story as they could find. Out of 14 single women in the article, 11 were found. Among them, 吨ht ended up marrying, and three remain single. Several had children. None divorced(离婚) . For her part, Christine isn't surprised. "I've watched a lot of people, married while young, get divorced," she says. "I think that if you do wait until Mr. Right comes along, you have a much better chance. "36. How old was Christine 20 years ago?A 20B 30C 40D 5037. We learn from the text that twenty years ago, ChristineA started her hobby by collecting magazinesB had a lot of girlfriends visiting herC was worried about her marriageD was in an unhappy marriage38. Why had Christine saved the magazine for so many years?A An article about her was printed in iB It described her social life in ChicagC An article written by her was published in iD It helped women like her to find their MRigh39. The underlined phrase "a trip down the aisle" (line 5, Para. 2) probably means___.A getting marriedB becoming famousC travelling by planeD going on a honeymoon40. What was Christine's idea about marriage and life when she was going on 40?A One cannot be a whole person without marriage and childreB One can live a happy life whether married or unmarrieC She might meet her future husband in a supermarkeD She will never think of divorce once marrieBArt Without LimitArt should not be limited to a museum. "Art and creative elements (创造性元素) can be mixed into daily life," said Professor Cheng of the Fine Arts Department.Public art can be seen as a realization of Professor Cheng's words above. It is simply artwork presented in the public space, where one could walk by any day. Connie Yu, a businesswoman, likes the idea of public art. "I like the idea of bringing art to people, rather than people to art. " However, the idea of public art is not very well developed in Hong Kong. A walk through the central area only presents one with a limited number of public art pieces. Most of them seem to be more for the purpose of decoration (装饰) than presenting art to the public. Also, people do not pay much attention to them.Alex Chan, a 34-year-old Hong Kong artist, said, "Public art is a great way to express yourself as an artist, to give something to people who don't normally go to the museums, and to give them a break from their daily life. It is just a shame that it’s not so common in Hong Kong. "41. What is "public art" according to the text?A Fine art pieces in museumB Art exhibitions for the artist.C Artwork by ordinary peoplD Art pieces in public place42. Which of the-following best explains Connie Yu's words?A Art piece should be sold at low priceB Art pieces should be brought to peoplC People should be persuaded to come to the museumD More artwork about ordinary people should be produce43. According to the author, public art in Hong KongA is warmly received by artistsB has attracted the museum-goersC has much room for improvementD is strongly supported by the governmentCIf you could give anything in the world to your child, you might want to give a love of words. Young children who can express their feelings don't have as many temper tantrums (发脾气). They also learn to control themselves using words. A two -year -old child reaches toward the oven (烤箱) door, then stops, tells herself, "Hot, hot," and turns away. Researchers call this " self -directed speech". It' s one of the ways children learn to do what' s right and not to do what's wrong.With each new word, a child gains a broader view of the world. Early on, all four -legged animals are dogs or maybe cats. But new words change them into horses, cows, elephants, and zebras. Children who have a wealth of words have a wealth of ideas.By age four, the number of words a child understands tells us how easily that a child will learn to read in school. It even tells us how well she'll be able to understand what she reads, and toexpress her ideas in writing later on.So, how do you give your child this wonderful gift? First of all, talk a lot. Talk when you're feeding or preparing a bottle; talk when you're doing the dishes or walking down the street. Second, do a lot of listening. Even before your child can speak clearly, ask questions and listen for answers. Assume(设想) that your child has ideas, and try to figure out what they are. Researchers have found a direct connection between the number of words a child knows and the number of words he hears, and especially the number of questions he is invited to answer.Third, read aloud every day. There are many reasons for reading aloud, but maybe the best is that books contain words; lots of new, different, interestil1g words. Here's an exciting thing that happens when you read aloud every day: You begin to hear "book words" in your child's speech. You're walking down the street, and you see a pretty flower. "Look," you say, "a pretty flower. " "Actually," your child corrects, "it's beautiful." Actually? Beautiful? That's when you know you've truly given your child a love of words.44. A two-year-old child uses the word" Hot, hot" (line 4-5, Para.I)A to prevent herself from being hurtB to learn a new wordC to warn her parents of the dangerD to show her large collection of words45. In the author's opinion, who should do a lot of listening?A The book writersB The researchersC The parentsD The child46. What is the main subject discussed in the text?A Value of reading aloud ωchildrenB Power of words in children's growthC Mind development of young childrenD Ways to develop a love of reading in children47. When the child uses "beautiful" to respond to the mother, it shows thatA the child loves certain words better than othersB the word "beautiful" is used more by childrenC reading has improved the child's languageD the child has the ability to correct parents 来源:考试大-公共英语考试DThey first arrived on British ships almost 200 years ago, with the aim of cutting bac k a rapid growth of rat (鼠) population. Then the cats themselves became the problem. A fter dealing with the rats", they turned to birds-and now hundreds of them have been killed in a move to protect rare (稀有) birds. Even cat lovers have been persuaded to back the move, after being told that there was no other choice.When British sailors took control of Ascension Island in 1815, they found nobody liv ing on it but that it was overrun with rats which had escaped from sinking ships. They i ntroduced cats to kill the rats-and were soon overrun by cats. By 1820 they were sending back to England for dogs to kill the cats, but that didn' t work. Ever since the wild catpopulation has been attacking the birds.Man introduced these cats, and it has disturbed the balance. Ascension Island is a mo st important seabird gathering place. We have to undo man' s mistake in bringing cats her e. Action has been taken to kill off wild cats for the protection of birds. Only cats raised as pets are allowed. Since they are micro-chipped (加电子芯片的), if they get caught the y can be sent back to their owner. The action can be considered rather successful. The ca t population is down to the last few-they're the most difficult ones to catch.48. The best title for the text would be _______.A Killing Cats to Save RatsB Problems with Shipping CatsC Fighting between Cats and RatsD Keeping the Rat Population Down49. Which of the following fust came to the island?A The catsB The ratsC The sailorsD The birds50. People on the island have been taking action to ________.A forbid having cats as petsB stop the killing of birdsC catch and kill all the catsD send all cats back to England51. What does the author mean by saying, "We have to undo man' s mistake in brin ging cats here" (Paragraph 3 ) ?A Friendly animals such as dogs should have been introduceB Men should remove the bad effect caused by catC Man should have a better understanding of catD Cats are not as valuable as other rare animalEThe Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia were completed in 1998. Ea ch tower is 452 meters high and has 88 floors. Designed to serve all floors, the four exe cutive lifts(公务电梯) in each tower transport passengers from the underground car park to the top floor in 90 seconds. The towers are joined 170 meters up by a two-level bridge on the 41st and 42nd floors.The Sears Tower in Chicago in the United States was the tallest building in the worl d for more than 20 years.

Because of the strong desire to build the world's tallest building, much inf ormation about Burj Dubai is kept secret. However, experts expect the tower to have 162 floors and go up to 808 meters high. Its lifts will be the fastest in the world, traveling at 18 meters per second.

In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候选⼈）for a master's or doctor's degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools. The first types sometimes called an objective (客观性) test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly. The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper. For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge. For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material. 36. The passage is mainly about ________. A. examinations in the ancient times. B．modern examinations. C．how to do well in an examination. D．setting questions for an examination 37. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______. A. it is easy and quick to score. B. the teacher can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge in a short time. C. it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject. D. it contains element of luck. 38. Which of the following statements about the objective test is true? A．Examinations in modern times are written, while in ancient times they are spoken. B．The objective test has advantages for testing a student's memory of facts and details. C．The objective test is the only way to test a student's memory of facts and details,. D．Each objective question has more than one correct answer. 39. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________.A. the other type of examinationB. the advantages of the objective test C. how students guess the correct answer without really knowing the material D. examinations in the ancient times (B ) What is world English? World English is a course in the English language. It is intended for students whose native language is not English. It is a basic programme consisting of six stages. Each stage includes a Student Book, a Teacher's Book, a Workbook, and cassette recordings. World English is further supported by separate books of readings, by tests, and by visual（可视的）aids. Who is world English for? World English may be entered at any one of three different levels. The First Level, Books One and Two, is intended for students with little or no education In English. Books Three and Four make up the Second Level; they are suitable for students who have some knowledge of English. The Third Level, Books Five and Six, is intended for students who are concerned with improvement in the language. What does world English teach? World English teaches four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. At all levels, each skill is presented systematically. In the First Level, listening and speaking receive more attention. In the latter books, reading and writing become more important. However, reading and writing activities are presented even in Unit One of book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur through Unit One of Book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur though Unite Ten of Book Six. 40. This passage is probably taken from the _______ of an English text book.A. contentsB. introductionC. First chapterD. index（索引） 41. Suppose you are a student of Senior Three, _______ will be suitable for you if you want to make your English better.A. Books One and TwoB. Books Three and FourC. Books Five and SixD. none of them. 42. We may infer form this passage that the whole set of World English consists of ______ units.A. tenB. thirtyC. sixtyD. more than sixty ( C ) One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago.

We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite ofall these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man’s life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man’s organs’ functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man’s hair is getting th inner and thinner.C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man’s size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain’s capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists ---- and guides, brochures, souvenirs ---- is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other partsof the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People’s leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What’s main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is being extended.CThirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with noprofessional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one “Do-it-Yourself” shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.44.Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?A. Because they could not do it themselves.B. Because professional workers were very cheap.C. Because they had no time.D. Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A. People could do everything themselves.B. Few people chose to be a professional workerC. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.46.What caused the DIY craze?A. Young people liked to follow the fashion.B. “Do-it-Yourself” is a booming busi ness.C. There were fewer building companies.D. High cost of professional workers.47. What is the speaker telling us ?A. How DIY comes into being.B. Changes in building.C. Changes in housing.D. Great changes in these thirty years.DI used to be a faithful TV watcher. Besides the latest information, I ‘d love to appreciate beautiful exotic sceneries and enjoy the evening with my favorite singers, actors and hosts. It was the advertisement that frustrated me. Ad is a greatannoyance of watching television. In the first place, the ads waste time. Generally speaking, at least 5 or 6 minutes is lost when watching the ads during a single news program, and usually 10 to 15 or even more during a good movie. In the second place, the ads often interrupt the viewer. The viewer may forget the situation of a show because of frequently inserted ads; even worse, the watcher may lose his pleasant mood when the ads come on one after another, which can bring negative psychological influence such as disappointment, depression, anxiety and so on so forth. Besides, the ads make many products look more appealing than they really are, some of which even look so disgusting. For example, an expensive car is made to seem luxurious, or a bad product like deodorant is made to look very good by showing a beautiful amazing lady taking shower! Therefore, the television viewer must be aware and critical of the ad in order to endure them.48.Why the author was one of the TV fans in the past?A. Because he could stay with his favorite stars the whole evening.B. Because he could travel the world without going out.C. Because he could get the news which couldn’t be found on newspapers.D. Because he could make friends on TV.49. What feelings may ads bring to the viewers when inserted frequently, according to the author?.A. disappointed B. depressed C. anxious D. unpleasant50.Which statement is not true according to the passage?A. Ads are frustrations during watching TV.B. Ads occupy too much viewer’s time when they watch TV..C. Ads often cause interruptions which will destroy the viewer’s mood..D. Ads present the viewer much information about the best products.51. What can we infer from the passage?A. Ads time should be reasonably controlled.B. More and more people choose not to watch TV.C. Programs on TV are not worth watching.D. Ads mustn’t be showed on TV at all.EMcDonald’s is the world single biggest food provider with annual sales of around $12.4bn. And t he company’s symbol Ronald McDonald is now (or so the company claims) the word’s most recognized person after Santa Claus.The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in San Bernardino, California, in 1948 by brothers Mac and Richard “Dick” McDonald. Mac ran the restaurant side; Dick was the marketing genius. He had already invented the drive-in laundry and had been the first person to use neon lights in advertising. Now he spotted the gap in the post-war, baby-boom market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants with simple menus, standardized food and efficient service.After a slow start, business began to boom. By 1954, the brothers were joined by another entrepreneur, a kitchen equipment salesman called Ray A Kroc who owned the franchise to the Multi mixer, milk shake maker used throughout the McDonald’s chain. A year later, Kroc had bought the McDonald brothers’ chain of 25 franchises for the equivalent of around $70m(￡44m). Dick remained with the company until the Seventies, when he and Kroc fell out over Kroc’s claim that the chain was his creation.Today, an almost Stalinist cult of personality surrounds Kroc (who died in 1984) at McDonald’s, while the brothers who gave the company its name have all but been written out of its history. But though Kroc did not found McDonald’s, he was certainly responsible for the empire-building philosophy which led to its world domination. He ushered in such essential contributions to international cuisine as the Big Mac (1968) and the Egg McMuffin (1973); and helped launch Ronald McDonald ---- “in any language he means fun” ---- on to television in 1963.Every three hours, a new McDonald’s franchise opens somewhere in the world; it can be found in more than 100 countries including India (vegetarian-only to avoid offending the non-beef-eating populace) and Israel (non kosher, despite fierce local objection). McDonald’s chain embodied the thrusting, can-do spirit of Fifties America with staff mottoes such as “If you’ve got time to lean, you’ve go time to clean.”52. McDonald’s was founded _____.A. by a kitchen equipment salesman .B. in California.C. by a marketing genius called Dick McDonald.D. after the first World War.53. What do we know about McDonald’s brothers?A. They were not McDonald’s f ounders although they named the restaurant.B. Their business was still in depression after several years.C. They had clear job separation on business.D. They sold their restaurant to a salesman in 1954.54. Which is not Kroc’s contribution to McDonald’s ?A. He launched the restaurant image Ronald McDonald on to television.B. Under his lead, international cuisine as the Big Mac and the Egg McMuffin earned worldwide fameC. He spotted the gap in postwar market for cheap, family-orientated restaurants.D. He built McDonald’s empire with a philosophy which led to its world domination.55. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. The single biggest food provider was however, not named after its founderB. The international cuisine as the Big Mac, a beef hamburger, is provided every chain restaurant in the world.C. Employees in McDonald’s have no time to lean.D. The symbol Ronald McDonald, means fun in any language, is said to the word most recognized person after Santa Claus.56. This passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. brief history of McDonald’s.B. McDonald’s success..C. Ray A Kroc, leader of the McDonald’s empire.D. McDonald brothers, founder of McDonald’s.第四部分写作第一节短文改错Sussex police ordered to search a six-foot,dark-haired 57____________youth about 20 he failed to rob an old lady – MrsWest. 58____________The youth rushed at the lady and tried to bringher 59____________things and money then she was walking through thestreet. 60___________Surprisingly, however, the old lady grasped therobber 61____________wrist (手腕) and it made him let out of a cry “Oh,no! 62____________Stop!” and ran away. “If I had been carrying myshopping, 63____________I would real have put him on his back,” said MrsWest 64____________who took a course in judo (柔道) when younger. “Whenmy 65____________husband was living.
