One Friday afternoon he w as riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He w as looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Bo rrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone ou t. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back w hen he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It w as a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted . “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that w ere still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They l ifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee wa s terrible.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples w ho had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each c ouple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner a t the time of their marriage and another photo of each pa rtner twenty-five or more years later. All background was c ut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were t hen displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testee s were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better tha n chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more ye ars after the marriage, the testees were quite successful w ith the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation . One person tends to copy or do the same as someone els e without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate theexpressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another p ossible reason,”he says, “is the common experience of th e couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways.For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sa d experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for t he purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no b etter than chance”implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the secon d23. The underlined word “imitate”(in Para. 2) has asimilar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _ __________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”,(2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”,and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the thi rd. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, ifa bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, youknow what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs mo re than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come to gether and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compu te error.”It wasn’t,of course that computerized cashier is reall y nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code agains t a price list stored in memory. If the price list is ri ght, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a c omputer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electr ic brain with “artificial intelligence.”At some point the re might be a machine with intelligence but none exists to day. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the de velopment of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admi t its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ___________ _.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employee D. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that comp uters ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mis takesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled bymen30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impre ssive to see the past variety of services which were avail able on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countrysi de.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that th e only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selli ng frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to vis itors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village com merce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the near est town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange t he local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuin g up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that per sonal service has a considerable cash value. His prices m ay be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer cus tomers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint a t a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for th em.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ___ _________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. un able to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because __________ ___.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about givi ng extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ______ _____.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C an d D.

The statue was made by a France sculptor(雕塑家)named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi.The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel,the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty,of course,means freedom,and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S.independence from England.The statue was built in France ,taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States.It was opened for the public on October 28,1886.As you might expect,the statue is very big.Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.If they want to,they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.41.A good title for this selection is__C__.A)Famous Sights in New York B)Liberty IslandC)The Statue of Liberty D)A Gift from France42.The word sight in the first paragraph means__D__.A)small presents of gifts B)some postcardsC)the power of seeing D)things that you can see43.The statue was first built__A__.A)in France B)in the United StatesC)in England D)in Germany44.We may conclude that the elevator goes__C__.A)from the base of the statue to the top B)from the ground to the top of the statueC)only to the base of the statue D)only half way up the height of the statue45.The man who made the part of the statue that we can see on the outside was__B__.A)an unknown architect B)BartholdiC)Eiffel D)an American sculptorPassage TwoAbout 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people. Some people go on diets. They eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people want to lose weight?Many Americans worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. “The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds,”says anthropologist（人类学家）George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books, which tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one promises to get rid of fat.which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight? DA) To eat less fats and sugars. B) To do exercise.C) To have surgery. D) To work hard.Many Americans are trying to lose weight because_______. BA) they want to save money B) they want to keep fitC) they are misled by doctors D) they want to save energyThe figures given in the third paragraph suggest that_______. CA) Americans are dependent on cars B) cars consume a lot of energyC) Americans need losing weight D) excess of fat can be a source of energyIt can be inferred from the last paragraph that_______. AA) diet books are not always effective B) diet books are usually helpfulC) there are lots of ways of losing weight D) bookstores are keeping their promisesIt can be concluded from the passage that_______. BA) people think too much of their appearanceB) there is no sure way of losing weight so farC) surgery is the fastest way of losing weightD) going on diet is a safe way of losing weightPassage ThreeWe have all seen how some romantic lovers will idealize their partners. They exaggerate（夸大）their good qualities, while ignoring and avoiding considering significant differences and第5页共9页A卷potential problems. Why do they do this? They do this mostly because they need to see the person in this idealized way. People can fall in love with the idea of a person who doesn’t really exist and then hope the relationship will endure.However, for most people who fall in love, a time will come when they sense the beginning of problems. They begin to experience self-doubt and they feel the consequence of their unmet needs. Then they see their partners more like what they truly are and not what they neededthem to be. They usually begin to find faults and they may become jealous, angry, or bitter. Many will feel miserable. They will often have children and try to raise a family in an effort to revive the relationship or to feel better. Many will have other love affairs. When they separate or divorce, some will get involved in another relationship too quickly. They try to find some way to ease the pain. They idealize this new person in their life and the cycle starts over.When a person idealizes his lover, he usually____D___.A) exaggerates her shortcomings B) pays no attention to her good qualitiesC) considers their potential problems D) turns a blind eye to their differences52. The author of this passage would most likely agree that romantic love___C_____.A) lasts a long time B) doesn’t really existC) may end in failure D) is ideal and perfect53. When they sense the beginning of problems, romantic lovers come to realize_____B___.A) how well they understood their partners beforeB) how unrealistic they were about their relationshipC) how they could possibly sustain their relationshipD) how they s hould tolerate their partner’s faults54. Miserable as they feel about their marriage troubles, some people still will have children because they ____A_____.A) want to restore their love B) are indifferent to each otherC) have to accept their reality D) don’t know what else to do55. By the cycle starts over (in the last sentence), the author most probably means that ___C___.A) they have learned from their marriage B) the love relationship comes to an endC) they will get into a romantic love again D) they will renew their former marriagePassage FourThese are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is hot before washing the clothes. It does this by “feedback”. Information about what is happening is fed back into the robot to tell it what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like people in two ways.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For eachof them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought his daughter should give one or two of her new books to a little neighbor boy named Robert. Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. “After all, that leaves you with nine,” said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist and couldn’t shut hi s big stupid mouth on the subject. A few weeks later, the fatherwent to his library to look up “father” in the Oxford English Dictionary to feast his eyes on the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn’t find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too. A-B, L-M, V-Z. He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes. “A man came to the door this morning,” said his little daughter, “and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leavesyou with nine.” 21. How does the writ er feel about taking picture books from a little girl? A. This sort of thing is quite common. B. It makes no difference to a child. C. It’s nothing to be surprised at . D. It may hurt the girl’s feelings. 22. In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________. A. the father went out to work B. the father made his own decision C. the father left his daughter alone D. the father did what he wanted 23. Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl’s attitude toward her father? A. “A man came to the door this morning.”B. “He was a nice man, much nicer than Robert.”C. “After all, that leaves you with nine.”D. “I gave him four of your books.” 24. What does the writer think of the father? A. He was very strict with his daughter. B. He was too proud to listen to his daughter. C. As a child psychologist, he didn’t understand his daughter’s psychology very well. D. As a father, he showed little care for his daughter. 25. This short story tells us that ________. A. failure is the mother of success B. what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others C. we should put others first and ourselves last D. everything is hard in the beginning Passage 2 What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself. In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the h abit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a numb er of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now. 26. This passage tells us that ________. A. telling liesis often necessary in order to avoid being defeated B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest C. telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings D. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases 27. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably means ________. A. women are better at telling lies than men B. women liars are better accepted than men C. women have a better intention when telling lies D. women tell fewer lies than men do 28. A “white lie” means ________. A. a lie that is completely unbelievable B. a lie that is told with a good will C. a lie that is always believable D. a lie that often has an evil purpose 29. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________. A. from which they may gain some advantages B. that seems to be believable C. that women are most likely to believe D. with which they can have better relationship with others 30. It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A. there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying B. from some ways people behave we can know they are lying C. certain emotions are proof of lying D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Passage 3 Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet. Internationally famous child doctor Robert Cole s is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones”, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 33-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.” It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness. “But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they couldsuffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is becauseof an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Today’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money. 31. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______. A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B. rich children live a life of separation from the world C. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D. the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high 32. In the doctor’s view, _______. A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C. rich children usually have little confidence in themselves D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Rich children usually leada life of happiness. B. Rich children have earned what they have. C. Rich children tend to feel isolated. D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things. 34. According to the author of the passage, _______. A. life is really a long journey of joyfor rich children B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C. it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D. today all the wealthy parents are sureof the problems their money can bring 35. It seems that the author of the passage_______ what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”. A. knows little about B. is doubtful about C. is opposed to D. agrees with Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values —this can’t be repeated too often — are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insistthat they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are indanger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 36. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______. A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives B. social services have nothing to do with very old people C. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom D. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean 37. Some social workers think that _______. A. health and safety are more important than personal freedom B. personal freedom is more important than health and safety C. old people should keep their rooms clean D. one should not take risks dealing with old people 38. In the author’s opinion, ______.A. the human body can’t be compared to a carB. the older a person is, the more care he needsC. too much emphasis has been put on old people’s valuesD. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people 39. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______. A. the conclusion you have come to B. whether age is happy or unpleasant C. your talk to the old people D. one’s money or one’s health 40. The author thinks that _______. A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors B. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich C. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful D. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death Part III Cloze (10 points) Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into thepassage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. A daily dose of laughter may be good for the heart because, like exercise, it makes blood vessels work more efficiently. Depression, 41 the other hand, can raise the risk of dying from heart failure, a separate study found. The two studies, 42 at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Orlando, Florida, show how psychological factors can 43 a person＇s health. “We don＇t recommend that you laugh and not exercise, 44 we do recommend that you try to laugh on a regular basis.

Miller and colleagues at the school 46 two movies, one humorous,47 stressful, to 20 healthy volunteers and tested the function of their blood vessels. The researchers specifically looked at the endothelium, the lining of the vessels, and found that blood 48 was reduced in 14 of the 20 volunteers after stressful movie cuttings.

Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦). (51)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories. In November, experts testeda drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (52) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. (53)Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” (54)But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. (55)“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

Each of the passag es is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a sin gle line throw the center.Passage oneAs world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressur e from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately, and they feel we should turn to compul sory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is i mposed on the population, the future of mankind would be serio usly jeopardized (危害). They think that very intelligent people w ould be more likely to have fewer children and this would bring about a lowering of the general level of intelligence in the pop ulation as a whole. However, some critics see a fallacy in this a rgument. In addition to genetics, they say, intelligence depends o n an adequate diet, a good home environment, parental attention, and education--- all of which are increasing in the world as the general population becomes more affluent.16. Some people think birth control is _____.A. too strictB. not a workable ideaC. dangerousD. only for religious people17. Critics say intelligence is based on _____ .A. a good home environmentB. adequateC. geneticsD. all of the above18. The word “fallacy” probably means ____.A. False ideaB. Different ideaC. Unique ideaD. Dangerous idea19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The whole world is faced with the problem of increasing pop ulation.B. Some scientists argued that birth control can affect the level of intelligenceC. Genetics is one of the main factors to intelligenceD. Food, family attention and education have nothing to do with intelligence20. What is this passage mainly about?A. Birth controlB. How to develop intelligenceC. Population and intelligenceD. The importance of geneticsPassage twoIt is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the road are bec oming terrible. You might tolerate the rude and in considerate dr iver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule. Perhaps we need a campaign calling for “Be Kind to Other Drivers”, otherwise, it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of the driver t o resist the temptation to revenge when treated rudely. On the ot her hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving th e tension of driving. A friendly nod or wave in response to an a ct of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill. Toler ance is absolutely necessary in modern traffic condition. But such politeness is very rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem to recognize politeness when they see it.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me that it w ould help if motorist learn to drive correctly into traffic streams without causing the total blockages 拥堵that may give rise to b ad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the expe rts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a l ot more give-and-take平等互让from all road users. It is high ti me for all of us to take this message to heart.21. According to the passage, troubles on the road are mainly ca used by ______.A. people’s attitude towards driverB. the rhythm of modern li feC. traffic conditionD. the behavior of the driver22. The sentence “You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule.” Implies that ____.A. our society is unjust to well-mannered driver.B. rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motoristsD. the well-mannered motorists cannot tolerate the rude driver.23. By “good sense” (para 2.) the writer means ______.A. the driver’s prompt response to difficult conditionsB. the driver’s ability to understand and react politelyC. the driver’s tolerance of bad road conditionsD. the driver’s acknowledge of traffic regulations24. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-owners hip explosion, _____.A. drivers should be ready to yield to one another.B. road users should make more sacrificesC. drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to other sD. drivers should have more communication among others25. In the writer’s opinion, ______.A. drivers should apply road politeness properlyB. strict traffic regulations are badly neededC. rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punishedD. drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jamsPassage threeWhat do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviou sly, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clo thing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a per son must have a reliable income. But we have other needs whic h would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all these as our needs. Yet most of us woul d be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these whichare supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on thi ngs like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of t his extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holid ays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard s of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are sat isfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs cha nges. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, a nd still is in some countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accept ed as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standard of our own country.26. What we need in life is divided into ______ according to thi s articleA. the basic necessities and luxuryB. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD. the basic necessities and reliable income27. A person who gets the basic necessities must ____ according to the writer.A. have a reliable incomeB. learn how to please his ma nagerC. finish his work ahead the timeD. get a good education28. We all enjoy ____________.A. having only reliable incomeB. having reliable income and extra incomeC. having nothing more than food and clothingD. having nothing more than reliable income29. With time going on, ______.A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB. the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury30. If most people of a country have a television, we _______.A. can say the television is a need in the same sense as food a nd clothing and shelterB. can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC. can not say the television is the basic necessitiesD. can say every family must have onePassage fourMovies are the most popular form of entertainment for million s of Americans.

They may choose to see a particular film because they li ke the actors or because they have heard the film has a good st ory. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to esc ape.

For eac h numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A. B. C and D. choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SH EET with a single line through the center.Nonviolent resistance is not a method for coward; it does resist. If one uses this method because he is afraid or merely because he lacked the 76 of violence, he is not truly nonviolent. This i s why Gandhi often said that if cowardice is the only alternative to violence, it is better to fight. He made this 77 conscious of the fact that there is always another alternative: no individual or group need submit 78 any wrong, nor need they use 79 to ri ght that wrong; there is the way of nonviolent resistance. It is n ot a method of passivity. The phrase “passive resistance ” often gives the 80 impression that this is a sort of “do-nothing-metho d” in which the resister quietly and81 accept evil. But nothing is further from the truth. For the nonviolent resister is passive in the sense 82 he is not physically aggressive toward the 83 , his mind and emotion are always active, constantly seeking to pe rsuade his opponent that he is wrong. The method is passive 8 4 but strongly active spiritually. It is not passive non-resistance t o evil; it is 85 nonviolent resistance to evil.76. A. impulse B. instrument C. courage D. foundati on77.

His superiors were doubtful about his idea to "make radio a household utility (事业), (so that) by purchase of a ‘radio music box', the audience could enjoy lectures, music recitals (演奏会),etc. and his proposal was neglected.Four years later the American engineer .Frank Conrad, an employee at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts; a local music store had provided records to play on the Victrola, and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys (唱片音乐节目广播员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter in time to announce the outcome of the next U. S. presidential election. Conrad completed his assignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ,broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1 000 people heard this first news broadcast.Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years .To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufacturers provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedian, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. Theeventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners; others urged that private foundations support radio .stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium and a practicable industry, and it became a national forum for news and popular culture.41. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.A. the invention and uses of radioB. the history of radio broadcastingC. early radio programs for mass audiencesD. the contribution of radio to popular culture42. Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?A. David Sarnoff.B. Frank Conrad.C.Harry Davis.D. Warren G. Harding.43. After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because ______.A. it had advantages over newspaperB. it was cheaper than newspaperC. you could easily get it in storesD. all of the above.44. By saying that "the eventual financial basis of the new industry was still unclear", theauthor means thatA. the listeners would not pay or the broadcasting stationsB. the private foundations were unwilling to support the stationsC. advertising and commercial programs could not raise enough moneyD. the stations were not sure yet where to get the operational money45. In 1920s, radio _______.A. established its status as a new industryB. became a new broadcasting deviceC. began to replace newspaper as the chief mass mediumD. entered every home as a new mediumIII ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

She did not speak much in Italian, but wherever she went, she was fortunate enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of Italy.She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village near there and thought they would taste very good. So when the waiter came to her order for lunch, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms for her meal, but she had difficulty in explaining to him, because she did not know the Italian word for mushrooms.At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom.

We should pay attention to these differences. Generally speaking, English people are a little formal. They usually shake hands and say “How do you do” when they meet for the first time. American people are somewhat casual. They may start a conversation without being introduced.A Chinese name is hard to pronounce for many foreigners. So you should make it assimple as possible in the introduction. Probably, you may give them your family name only.They feel pleased to pronounce your name correctly. The form of addressing does not matter much to Americans. You may address an American as “Mr. Johnson”or “Tom”.However, you’d better address an elderly person by his or her title. In the business world, a person of lower social position is usually introduced to a person of higher status. In a business interview, when a person is being introduced, he should hold his hat and stand up. ( F ) 1. It is not important for us to know some cultural and social differences in introduction.( F ) 2. American people are more formal than English people.( T ) 3. A Chinese name is not easy to pronounce.( T ) 4. It is more proper to address an elderly person by his or her title.( F ) 5.

Besides that, our flat is too small for five people. There is no proper kitchen. The landlord only allows us to use the bathroom twice a day. And he complains all the time.He says we are noisy and untidy. Nearly every night he comes up to say that our radio is keeping his wife awake. Really, I’m getting fed with it all. It is not fair .We pay our rent regularly every week and we never have friends in after eleven at night.Do you know a good cheap room anywhere?

The Germans are famous for their beers. And Americans are famous for their soft drinks. For example, colas, the country’s most popular drinks, are available in almost every part of the world. And you can find them everywhere.What is in a soft drink? It’s mostly soda water, sugar, and flavoring. Soft drinks have a long history. Their inventor was an Englishman named John Priestley. His bubbling soda water was a copy of natural mineral water. About 40 years later, soft drinks were introduced into the United States. At the end of the 19th century, lemon flavored soda and root beer were popular. Even so, in 1900, the yearly sales of soft drinks were only 12 bottles per person .Today, the average American drinks about 300 bottles a years. The Coca-Cola Company is the biggest soft drink company in the world. In recent year, its profits were over $400 million a year.Why do Americans drink so many soft drinks?

Soft advertisements are everywhere, and advertisements influence a lot of people.1.According to this passage, the Germans are famous for their beers.2.Americans likes drinking soft drinks.3.John Priestley invented soft drinks.4.About 40 years later, soft drinks were introduced to the United States.5.The Coca-Cola Company is the biggest soft drink company in the world. ParCDirections: Read the following passage carefully and then decide whether the statements that follow are true (T) or false (F).Passage 4Many people smoke.

S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the AmericanIndians could never be takenfrom them without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for'the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the countrywent down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands' to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes~ but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they' were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the coun-try. It was a terrible chapter in the history ofa country that promised freedom and equalityto everyone.16.

They made a series of experiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. Asa control, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had been sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mother's body, and noted that 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests "the time immediately after birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. " That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order todiscover whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babies in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.C. The mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.D. The mothers who had lived a luxurious life.22. According to the passage, the time right after birth is importantbecause_ DA. the mother can hear the baby'sheartbeat in that periodB the mother is ready at all times to satisfy the baby's needsC. the baby can hear the mother's heartbeatD. the mother has an instinctive tendency to hold the baby on the left 23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)A. To see if they carried parcels and babies differently.B. To see how they carried their babies.C. To determine what they had bought in the supermarkets.D. To determine whether they were right-handed or left-handed.24. In the experiment mentioned in the last paragraph, 102 babies were_ CA. not exposed to heartbeatsB. placed-in a control groupC. exposed to heartbeatsD. looked after by their mothers25. Who tend to hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)A Left-handed women.B. Right-handed womenC. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.D. Women who hold parcels on the left. Passage ThreeSo long as teachers fail to distinguish between "teaching" and "1earningn, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which onl'y children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them 'It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to do the impossible. " Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They' differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and theclimate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for t'eaching themselves to readl Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If roles of teacher and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. "When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 and when bothteachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.26. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a dif'ficult task when_ AA. children become highly motivatedB. roles of teacher and learner are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience27. The teaching of reading will be successful if (B) .A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students todevelop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable28. The word " scrutiny " ( Line 3, Paragraph3 ) most probably means_ BA inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion29. The main idea of the passage is that_ CA. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage studentsto read as widely as possible .C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed30. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph isthat_ DA. it is one of the most difficult schoolcoursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about readingPassage FourPeople living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gar- dens had disappearedovernight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were,studying the_problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious inrecent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry seaAngry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their ernment surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say. until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the southcoast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.31. The experts' study on the problem of erosion can_ DA. lead to its eventual solutionB. provide an effective way to slow it downC. help to prevent it from worseningD. warn people whose homes are in danger32. What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?(D)A. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.B. The experts' lack of knowledge.C. The rising of the sea level.D. The washing-away of limestone cliffs.33. It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosionbecause_ AA. it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasB. the government is too slow in taking actionC. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currentsD. house agents along the coast do not support the idea34. The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England _ BA. will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB. has now become a threat to the local residentsC. is quickly changing the map of EnglandD. can be stopped if proper measures are taken35. According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should_ AA. be aware of the potential danger involvedB. guard against being cheated by thehouse agentC. take the quality of the house into considerationD. examine the house carefully beforemaking a decisionPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section.

He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes.“A man came to the door this morning,”said his littl e daughter, “and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine.”11. How does the writer feel about taking picture books from a little girl?A. This sort of thing is quite common.B. It makes no difference to a child.C. It’s nothing to be surprised at.D. It may hurt the girl’s fe elings.12.

This short story tells us that ________.A. failure is the mother of successB. what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to othersC. we should put others first and ourselves lastD. everything is hard in the beginningPassage TwoWhat is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself. In fact, you a re not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when tell ing a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been don e into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.16. This passage tells us that ________.A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeatedB. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonestC. telling lies is some times necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelingsD. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases17. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably means ________.A. women are better at telling lies than menB. women liars are better accepted than menC. women have a better intention when telling liesD. women tell fewer lies than men do18. A “white lie” means ________.A. a lie that is completely unbelievableB. a lie that is told with a good willC. a lie that is always believableD. a lie that often has an evil purpose19. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________.A. from which they may gain some advantagesB. that seems to be believableC. that women are most likely to believeD. with which they can have better relationship with others20. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB. from some ways people behave we can know they are lyingC. certain emotions are proof of lyingD. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonestPassage 3Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the worl d’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones”, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from the ir parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.”Today’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.21. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______.A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor familyB. rich children live a life of separation from the worldC. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor childrenD. the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high22. In the doctor’s view, _______.A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being richB. traveling a lot will be beneficial to childrenC. rich children usually have little confidence in themselvesD. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rich children usually lead a life of happiness.B. Rich children have earned what they have.C. Rich children tend to feel isolated.D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things.24. According to the author of the passage, _______.A. life is really a long journey of joy for rich childrenB. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parentsC. it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in moneyD. today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring25. It seems that the author of the passage _______ what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”.A. knows little aboutB. is doubtful aboutC. is opposed toD. agrees withPassage 4Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values —this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, t here’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.26. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______.A. very old people enjoy living with their relativesB. social services have nothing to do with very old peopleC. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedomD. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean27. Some social workers think that _______.A. health and safety are more important than personal freedomB. personal freedom is more important than health and safetyC. old people should keep their rooms cleanD. one should not take risks dealing with old people28. In the author’s opinion, ______.A. the human body can’t be compared to a carB. the older a person is, the more care he needsC. too much emphasis has been put on old people’s valuesD. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people29. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______.A. the conclusion you have come toB. whether age is happy or unpleasantC. your talk to the old peopleD. o ne’s money or one’s health30. The author thinks that _______.A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctorsB. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very richC. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtfulD. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off deathPart III Vocabulary and Structure (10minutes, 10points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.
