Since then, innumerable children32 in front of the set. However, many people now worry about the effectof TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Whyare they so afraid? Is television really harmful?Like almost anything else, television has its good as well as itsbad sides. It has 34 joy and interest into the lives of the old, the sick, and the lonely. Without it, some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately, some television programs have been extremely harmfulto the young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize that TV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them andwant to 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe that the murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time theyare out of high school, most young people have watched about 15,000hours of television, and have seen about 18,000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day, how can they be shocked by murder in real life?Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40 its good points, it has brought many problems.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor 42 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending alot of 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 States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to 49 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 to the 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 $ 600,000.51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania” for more than $1.5 million.54. The ship “Lusitania” sank off the southwestern coast ofIreland with a lot of people drowned.55. In the past, divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship except metals.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 theirbodies 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 peoplechoose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged, Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who havelittle 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 study.56. Nowadays, more people realize the importance of physical exercise.57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football.59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it.60.People can always find one or more sports that benefit their health, work and study.IV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese.61. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.62. With the Mid-autumn Festival round the corner, she is getting more and more homesick.63. Hong Kong is one of the world’s most important financial centers and it is also an important port city.V. Translate the following sentences into English.64. 这篇新闻报导是完全根据实际情况写成的。

No matter how hard he tried, nobody wanted to read his work.One day, Marcel decided that he had had enough. He would be a famous poet or he would die trying. He traveled to Paris and read his poems to anyone who would listen. Still, nobody wanted to buy his work. Marcel began to lose weight and grow weak.

Many things have changed over the years. Before, we used to write letters to communicate with each other. People would often write love letters to each other. A love letter is a special kind of letter that people write to tell someone they love how theyfeel. Today, people often use cell phones to send quick messages, but it is not the same as receiving a letter in the mail.Today, many people text each other messages over the internet. Text messages are quick and easy to send, but they are not very personal. If you write a letter to someone you love, you can take your time and think about the words you want to use. You can use your best handwriting and choose special paper. Writing letters helps you to express yourself in a way that is very personal. But if you send a quick text message, the words are sometimes quick and not very thoughtful.Now that we can talk to one another on the internet, it is not as important to meet in person. In the past, going to meet someone was the only way to talk to them. Today, many people prefer to send a message online first, instead of meeting face-to-face. Even though the internet makes it easy for people to connect, it is not the same as meeting in person.So many things have changed in a very short time. We no longer have to write letters or meet in person to show someone we care. Now we can send quick messages on the internet. While this is fast and easy, it does not have the same personal touch.11. How do people often communicate today than in the past?A. People often send letters and meet face to face.B. People often write letters to each other.C. People often send text messages quickly.D. People often meet face-to-face still.12. What is a love letter?A. A letter written to say you miss someone.B. A letter written to say you care about someone.C. A letter written to say you love someone.D. A letter written to ask for help.13. What is said about text messages in comparison to letters?A. Letters are easier to send than text messages.B. Text messages are more personal than letters.C. Text messages are easier to send than letters.D. Letters are more personal than text messages.14. How can you express yourself when writing a letter?A. You can speak very loudly.B. You can write very quickly.C. You can be very thoughtful and take your time.D. You can write everything that comes into your head.15. Why is writing letters better for expressing yourself than sending text messages?A. Because texts can be sent quickly.B. Because letters are very personal and thoughtful.C. Because text messages don't take very long to write.D. Because letters are more popular.16. Are text messages very personal?A. Yes, they are always personal.B. No, they are never personal.C. Yes, but less so than a letter.D. No, letters are personal.17. Is it still important to meet face-to-face with people today?A. Yes, it is very important.B. No, it is not important.C.

To combat this problem, it is essential for individuals to take action and reduce plastic waste in their daily lives.There are several simple steps that everyone can take to reduce plastic waste. Firstly, we can start by using reusable bags when shopping instead of single-use plastic bags. By bringing our own bags, we can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated. Secondly, we should avoid buying plastic water bottles and opt for reusable water bottles instead. This small change can have a big impact on reducing plastic waste.Furthermore, we can make a conscious effort to choose products with minimal plastic packaging. Whenever possible, we should select products that come in biodegradable or recyclable packaging to reduce our plastic footprint. Additionally, we can reduce our reliance on plastic straws by using biodegradable alternatives or simply skipping the straw altogether.In conclusion, reducing plastic waste in our daily lives is crucial for protecting the environment and preserving our planet for future generations. By making small changes to our habits and choices, we can all contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet. It is our responsibility to take action and make a positive impact on the environment.。

An outbreak which was to lead 14 surprising developments was one that happened in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.15, an army group under Major Walter Reed was sent there in June, 1900 16orders “to give special attention to questions concerning the cause and prevention of yellow fever”. In a daring group of experiments using human beings, Major Reed proved the truth of an idea advanced in 1881 by a Cuban doctor, that the city type of mosquito 17the disease.The successful result of these experiments gave 18to another and still more important idea: kill off the city type of mosquitoes and there will be no more yellow fever. 19, these mosquitoes are one of the easiest types to destroy.

Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “ being a writer ” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours a lone at a typewriter. “ You ’ve got to want to wri te, ” I say to them, “ not want to be a writer ” .The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor — paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20 — year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer ( 自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test —— even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.21. The passage is meant to . 答案:AA. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career22. What can be concluded from the passage? 答案:DA. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.23. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? 答案:BA. He wasn't able to produce a single book.B. He hadn't seen a change for the better.C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He found his dream would never come true.24. “ ... people who die wondering, What if? ” (Line 3, para.3) refers to “ those ” .答案:BA. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death25. “Shadowland” in the last se ntence refers to .答案:CA. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one's imaginationPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对, 对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想)that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.26. We can infer from the passage that .答案:BA. English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flatsB. people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flatsC. people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flatsD. modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living答案:A27. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?A. They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.B. They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.C. They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.D. They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings.28. The word “ rage ” (Line 10) means “” .答案:BA. be ignoredB. develop with great forceC. encourage people greatlyD. be in fashion29. Some people oppose the building of flats because . 答案:CA. the living expenses for each individual family are higherB. it involves higher cost compared with the building of housesC. they believe people like to live in houses with gardensD. the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats30. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses . 答案:DA. do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the cityB. have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service workC. take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered communityD. have to spend move money and time travelling to work every dayPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth - but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil's most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“ Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and u pper class values ——not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, ” says Martine. “ They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive packag e. ”Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “ This led to an enormous ch ange in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction, ” says Martine.31. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth .答案:DA. by educating its citizensB. by careful family planningC. by developing TV programmesD. by chance32. According to the passage, many Third World countries .答案:CA. haven't attached much importance to birth controlB. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateC. haven't yet found an effective measure to control their populationD. neglected the role of TV plays in family planning33. The phrase “ puts it down to ” (Line 1, Para. 3) is closest in meaning to “ ” .答案:AA. attributes it toB. finds it a reason forC. sums it up asD. compares it to34. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because .答案:BA. they keep people sitting long hours watching TVB. they have gradually changed people’s way of lifeC. people are drawn to their attractive packageD. they popularize birth control measures35. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?答案:BA. The increase in birth rate will promote consumption.B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.C. Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.D. A country’s production is limited by its population growth.Ⅳ.Word Spelling (10 points,1 point for two items)36.请求;恳求v. s答案：solicit37.电子的; a. e 答案：electronic38.运动员; n. s答案：sportsman39.吉他; n. g 答案：guitar40.把……分类;把……分等级v. c答案：classify 41.中小学校长; n. h 答案：headmaster42.提名;任命n. n 答案：nominate43. 种植园;大农场n. p 答案：plantation44. 躲避;逃避v. e答案：elude45. 含义;暗示n.

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 thatman'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 of all 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 thinner 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, theimportance 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 parts of 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 industryin 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 no professional 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 business.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 great annoyance 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 whenthe 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. disappointedB. depressedC. anxiousD. 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 the 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 Multimixer, 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 Americawith 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 founders 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.

(30%) Task 1If you wanted to ask a friend to accompany you to a party next weekend, what would you say? If an acquaintance(熟人) at school or work asked you to go to a concert, but you weren’t interested, how could you say “no ”without hurting his or her feelings? If someone you didn’t know well invited you to dinner, but you weren’t sure you really w anted to go, what would you say?Every day we make some sort of invitation. We may invite a friend to join us for dinner, to play tennis, to come to a concert, or to have lunch. During an average week we may also receive such invitations. Sometimes we want to accept them and are able to, but there are other times when we don’t want to accept invitations or are unable to. When we decline an invitation, we usually give an excuse if it is appropriate. Ifwe are sinc erely sorry that we can’t accept the invitation and would like to be asked again some other time, we often say so.We don ’t start right away with the invitation without doing a little searching to see if that person already has plans. We might say something like, “hi, Sue. What are you up to this weekend ?”If she says she’s going to the beach, we can decide not to proceed with the invitation because we know she won’t be able to accept. Ofcourse, ifwe want Sue to change her mind, we might say , “Oh, really? I was hoping you’d be free, so you could go with us to the lake on Saturday.”Maybe Sue will change her mind after all.But sometimes we aren’t completely truthful( 诚实的), and we may tell“a little white li e ”– a small untruthful statement that is not meant to deceive( 欺骗) necessarily but rather to keep from hurting someone’s feelings. You may say, “Thanks a lot for inviting me, John, but I’m not feeli ng well, so I don’t think I’d better go out.”That’s a white lie because you’re not really sick.You can also refuse someone by saying something like“I’m sorry, but I already have plan s ,” or“No, I’m afraid I can’t because I’m busy.” Write T or F accordingly.( ) 41. This passage tells us how to make, accept and decline invitations. ( ) 42. Every day we accept some kind of invitation.( ) 43. When declining an invitation, we usually give an excuse.( ) 44. When refusing an invitation, we would often be asked again some other time.( ) 45.“Hi, Cathy. What are you up to this weekend?”is a proper statement to start an invitation. ( ) 46. People don’t start a conve rsation with a direct invitation.( ) 47. If a person already has a plan in his or her mind, it is not polite for you to make aninvitation.( ) 48.“A white lie”means a smell untruthful statement that is intended to cheat. ( ) 49. The purpose of a whit e lie is to keep from hurting someone’s feelings. ( )50.“I’m sorry, but I already have plans”isn’t a polite way to decline an invitation.

Reading Comprehension (35%)Task 1If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States. It is also a sport enjoyed by millions of fans in at least 100 countries and one of the best-known sports in the world. It began in 1891.Dr.James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was an instructor at a YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) training school. The school trained people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were concerned about the low attendance during the winter months. They felt that people didn’t attend them because the school did not have a good winter sports program. So they asked Dr.Naismith for help. He came up with a new indoor game.Naismith studied current games and found that all the most popular games used a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided. But kicking the ball or hitting it would be too rough for indoors. So he put two peach baskets up on poles. The players had to try to throw a soccer ball into them. Naismith made thirteen rules for the game. Twelve of them are still in use today. Just seven years after the game began, professional basketball teams were formed.51. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Americans are fans of basketball.B. Basketball is an indoor game.C. How basketball was born.D. How to play basketball.52. The reason why people didn’t like to go to the training school in winter is that _______.A. it was too cold to play outdoor gamesB. the school didn’t have enough gamesC. the gym instructors were not qualifiedD. the school didn’t have an appropriate winte r game53. Dr.Naismith designed the new indoor game——basketball only because ______.A. he preferred athletic sports in winterB. he was interested in making something newC. he was asked to solve the problem of the low attendance in winterD. he was just studying the current games at that time54. How many rules that Dr.Naismith made are still in use?A. 13B. 12C. 7D. 655. Professional basketball teams were formed in ______.A.1891B. 1898C. 1904D. 1903Task 2Not very long ago, a special family system existed in certain parts of South India. In this system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother’s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle—their mother’s brothers.But this system, in which brothers take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic changes have had far-reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent. This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.56. The best title of this passage is _______.A. Husband Actually Visitor in FamilyB. Family System in South IndiaC. Wife Has Important Position in FamilyD. Economic Relations Affects Family Relationships57. Who had the actual control of a family in South India not long ago?A. MotherB. The mother’s eldest brotherC. The fatherD. The father’s mother58.

What has caused such a strange family system to die away?A. The fact that the mother has not got any brother.B. The fact that the father has got his own house and land.C.
