Passage 1
Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have a very poor sense of direction, and though I may have visited a place time after time, I still manage to get lost on my way there. So if anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid confusing them, but even this can have embarrassing results.
I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him to the Bank of China Building. Without thinking, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I found it was too late to turn back and search him out in the crowd behind me as I had an appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his surprise when he recognized me as the person he had asked!
1. The author thinks that some people are fortunate because _______.
A. they are born with a poor sense of direction

Passage 2
"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family — hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them — they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
6. What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?
A.Different families have different ways of life.
B.Different definitions could be given to the word.
C.Different nations have different families.
D. Different times produce different families.
7. For an English family, the husband's duty is ___________.
A.supporting the family while the wife's is financial
B.defending the family while the wife's is running the home
C.financial while the wife's is running the home
D.independent while the wife's is dependent
8. Everything is decided in a family _________.
A.by the couple
B.with the help of their parents
C.by brothers and sisters
D.with the help of aunts and uncles
9. What is true concerning the book "Pride and Prejudice"?
A.It is the best book on marriage.
B.It is a handbook of marriage.
C.It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.
10.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in _______.
A.the right to get married
B.more parental support
C.choosing husbands
D.social position
Passage 3
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American "dream" was to have a house in the suburbs.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers.
A new class is moving into the city — a wealthier, more mobile class.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.
11. Paragraph 1 __________.
A.explains why American cities are changing
B.is a description of cities
C.shows that American cities have many problems

A.to have a color TV set
B.to have a big car
C.to buy an apartment in the city
D.to buy a new house in the suburbs
13.In paragraph 3, the author gives ______ reasons why people want to live in cities.
A.two
B.three
C.four
D.five
14.According to the article, cities are ______.
A.sick
B.alive again
C.living
D.dying
15. The movement of people to and from the city can explain _______.
A.social changes
B.violent crime
C.racial conflict
D.the best aspects of a society
