But one year he did not find any work there, so he went to a small town and began to look for work there. He went to a lot of places, but nobody wanted him.Then he met an old friend. This man said to him, “People in this town do not like long hair. Why can’t you go to a barber? He can cut a lot of your hair off. Then you can get some work.” So John went to a barber.The barber began. He cut and cut for a very long time and then he said to John:“Were you in the army for a few years before?”“Yes, I was,” John answered. “How did you know, and why did you ask that?”“Because I have found your cap in the hair,” the barber said.6.

John couldn’t find work probably because _________.A. he were in the armyB. he had very long hairC. he lived in a big cityD. he was too oldPassage 2A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an earlyage, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often ecp0ect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.11. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other12. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children13. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age14. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.15. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap第三部分:词汇和结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)16.

第二篇短文后有5个正、误判断题,请选择T或F.Passage OneIt has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.6.What is soap opera?CA:Plays based on science fiction stories.B:Plays based on non-fiction stories.C:The daytime serial dramas on TV.D:Popular documentary films on TV.7.What can be the best title of the passage?CA:College student viewers.B:Favorite TV serials.C:Soap opera fans.D:College-age viewers.8.Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?DA:Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B:Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C:Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D:Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.9.What can we learn from the passage? _____C____A:College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B:Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C:young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D:The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.10.What message does the author want to convey to us? __B______A:The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B:The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C:The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D:The people's favorites have changed the drama works.Passage TwoMartin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.11.Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.A:TB:F12.Martin Luther King was a black minister only.A:TB:F13.Martin Luther King's Day has been a federal holiday for more than 40 years.A:TB:F14.The underlined word "delivered" in the second paragraph could be replaced by "gave".A:TB:F15.The best title for this passage is "Civil Rights Law".A:TB:F第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)此部分共有5个未完成的句子,针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项,请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。

A native English speaker who has been speaking English for almost 60 years still makes mistakes sometimes.Third, the beginners in English should be encouraged to pay attention to idioms. The English language has many idioms. For example, you should say "He is strong as a horse.", but not "He is strong as a cow."1.

One report shows that communities in the country side are less likely than those in urban areas to have access to good public transport, shops, post offices, pubs and other services.The report shows that:Rural areas have higher employment levels.Rural areas have a higher proportion of small, entrepreneurial businesses.School in rural areas perform better on average at GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education 英国普通中等教育证书).People in rural areas are healthier and live longer with mortality rates about 8% below the UK average.71% of people believe that quality of life is better in the countryside, and two thirds of people would like to move there if they could.Far more people in the countryside work in services, IT and public administration than in agriculture.Tourism in the countryside supported an estimated 380,000 jobs, whereas agriculture currently employs just over 1/2 million people.But the report also shows the problem:Farming income has fallen by 60% since 1995.In 1997, 22% of rural parishes had no bus service at all and 75% no daily bus service.That is why we are putting forward specific measures for the countryside.11. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. People in the country side can enjoy the same public transport service as those inurbanareas.B.

One of the problems the countryside faces is that .A. no one likes to be engaged in farming work nowadaysB. the farm products cannot be sold at reasonable pricesC. farming income has fallen since 1995D. there is less and less cultivatable land nowPassage 4◎题型:材料题Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government officials always take extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people whocome into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no", he will say "inshallah", which means, "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.16. The main purpose of this article is to explain ____________.A. why you need extra time when you visit Arab countriesB. how to be polite when doing business in the Arab worldC. why Arab officials are so busyD. what Arabs say when doing business17.

From the passage, we know that ____________.A. when an Arab wants to say "yes", he often says "maybe"B. an Arab seldom disagrees with a guest to his faceC. when an Arab agrees, a smile and a slow nod will be givenD. "inshallah" is an English word19. Which of the following is NOT an Arab custom?A. To dislike being interrupted during their meeting.B. Often to give you a vague answer.C. Seldom to say "no" directly.D. Seldom to hesitate to start talking business in the presence of strangers.20. The writer of this passage has probably ____________.A. never been to the Arab worldB. worked in the Arab worldC. been against the Arab customsD. liked the Arab customsIII.Cloze Test (10 points)Directions:Each blank in the following passage is provided with four possible choices marked A, B, C and D.

一. 组合题(共20题)1. One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by a committee some years ago. A city was to he built at sea,housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor. The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the seabed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete and glass、The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake.The water inside this man-made harbor would be calm,On it would be floating lands carrying more buildings:a hospital,two theaters,a museum,and an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special plant,to take the salt out of seawater and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity,so there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.(1) According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The people would live in tall buildings surrounded by a wall.B.The building of the city would rest on a floating island.C.The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.D.The city was to be designed together with a harbor.★检查答案标准答案:B(2) Fresh water would be supplied to the city by______.A.getting it from the islands nearbyB.getting it from the mainlandC.dealing with the sea water in a special wayD.building a small lake of fresh water inside the city★检查答案标准答案:C(3) There would be no air pollution to this city because________.A.the city was protected by a glass roofB.vehicles there were driven by electricityC.there was a special machine to treat the airD.there was no plant in the city★检查答案标准答案:B(4) The suggestion made by the committee is to solve the problem of_________.A.pollutionB.transportationnd shortageD.security★检查答案标准答案:C(5) Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Harbor CitiesB.Air PollutionC.A New Type of CityD.A City Built at Sea★检查答案标准答案:C2. After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.(1) When did the first award ceremony take place?A.1895B.1901C.1962D.1968★检查答案标准答案:B(2) Why was the Nobel prize established?A.To recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity.B.To resolve political differences.C.To honor the inventor of dynamite.D.To spend money.★检查答案标准答案:A(3) Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Awards vary in monetary value.B.Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention.C.Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.D.A few individuals have won two awards.★检查答案标准答案:B(4) In which area have Americans received the most awards?A.literatureB.peaceC.economicsD.science★检查答案标准答案:D(5) In how many fields are prizes bestowed?A.2B.5C.6D.10★检查答案标准答案:C3. During the American War of Independence,women were involved in the active fighting in three ways. First,as members of a distinct branch of the Continental Army referred to as “Women of the Army,” women staffed field hospitals and acted as military support in such roles as water carriers. In an emergency,women water carriers,who had plenty of opportunity to observe the firing of cannons,could replace a wounded comrade. The second way that women were involved in active fighting was as regular troop members who wore men’s uniforms and fought side by side with their male counterparts. Theoretically,women were not supposed to be recruited(招募) into the Continental Army,but if a woman was good soldier, no one made an issue of sex at a time when the army was so short of soldiers that boys not yet in their teens were also being recruited in violation of rules. Third,women were occasional fighters affiliated with(加人) local militia companies or committees of safety formed to protect the local community.(1) What is the main idea expressed in the passage?A.Women played an important role in military hospitals during the Revolutionary War.B.Continental Army was successful in teaching women to fine cannons.C.The services of women on committees of safety were crucial in winning the war.D.Women were active in combat during the Revolutionary War.★检查答案标准答案:D(2) Women sometimes fired cannons in battle because_________.A.had observed the procedure and could therefore substitute for disabled menB.local militia companies had trained them very carefully for emergency fightingC.they had a better safety record than men for using weaponsD.it was against the law for young boys to fire weapons★检查答案标准答案:A(3) What is probably the main reason that women were permitted to fight in the war even though their formal participation was discouraged?A.Only women were successful as water carriers.B.They were needed to make battle uniforms.C.Colonial women were particularly healthy and strong.D.The army desperately needed combat soldiers.★检查答案标准答案:D(4) Women were involved in fighting the war for American independence in all of the followingways EXCEPT as __________.A.members of committees of safetyB.supports personnel at medical facilitiesC.recruiters of soldiers for the Continental Armybat troops in the regular army★检查答案标准答案:C(5) This passage would most probably be assigned reading for a course in what subject?A.Nursing.B.HistoryC.Social Workbor Studies★检查答案标准答案:D4. When people discuss education they insist that preparation for examination is not the main purpose. They are right in theory, but in practice, we all realize how important exams are. What do you know about the examination taken at English secondary schools? Here are a few facts about some of them.Pupils who remain at school until they are sixteen normally take what is called the General Certificate (证书) of Education at Ordinary Level. The examination is a subject examination. This means you can take a number of subjects. Some pupils take as many as ten. The more subjects the better chance a pupil has of getting a job on leaving school. For short, this examination is cal led G.C.E. “O” level. This certificate in five or six subjects is, if you like, the required starting point of some types of work and also for many types of professional training.Pupils who remain at school until they are eighteen or nineteen generally take the General Certificate of Education at Advanced Level –popularly known as G.C.E. “A” level. This examination is usually taken in two, three or four specialized subjects. And because it is for the specialist you have to study each subject intensively.A pupil who has passed two or three “A” levels can apply for admission to a university.These two examinations are written ones.Many English children take one or the other or both. Not all of them pass.(1) What is this passage mainly about?A.The British secondary schoolsB.The British educational systemC.The British private schoolsD.The British universities★检查答案标准答案:A(2) If one takes a subject examination he _____________.A.should take as many as ten subjectsB.an be given a variety of choicesC.can take some subjectsD.will have a bright future★检查答案标准答案:C(3) According to this passage, we know that _____________.A.pupils generally take the G.C.E. “O” level at the age of 10.B.pupils must take the G.C.E. “O” level at the age of 19.C.pupils usually need not take the G.C.E. “O” level before 18.D.pupils normally take the G.C.E. “O” level at the age of 16.★检查答案标准答案:D(4) The more subjects a pupil takes, __________________.A.the better chance a pupil has of getting prize when leaving schoolB.the more likely it is for him to go to a universityC.the better chance he has of getting a job when he leaves schoolD.the higher score he will get in the examinations★检查答案标准答案:C(5) Which of the following statements about the passage is true?A.Only those who have passed some “A” level examinations can apply for admission to a university.B.All those who have taken specialized subjects are admitted to a university.C.Only those who have passed a written examination are admitted to a university.D.All those who have passed a subject examination can apply for admission to a university.★检查答案标准答案:A二. 单选题(共20题)1.

European (欧洲的) people go to the East and people from the East go to the West. Long before people traveled for pleasure, ships went abroad to trade with one another. The men that sailed in those old ships often used stars and planets (行星) to help them find their way. Each time they saw an island (岛), they brought out their maps to see whether the island was marked on them. If it was not marked there, they knew that they had discovered a new island. If we compare the maps of today with those used by the early sailors we'll notice many differences.These days the quickest and the most convenient way to travel is by air. Some people who don't like cold weather fly to a warmer place when the cold season comes. Some people like to travel by sea better because it gives them a chance to make new friends. The most natural way to travel is by land. If we have enough time to compare one place with another, we will come to a conclusion (结论) that every two places are rather different from each other. If we master languages, we can have a better knowledge of the differences between the two countries.题型:单选题1. This passage is written about .A. languageB. islandsC. weatherD. journey2. It is hard for those who have little to enjoy other parts of the world.A. knowledge of languagesB. moneyC. shipD. map3. Generally speaking, maps are necessary for .A. studentsB. businessmenC. travelersD. teachers4. Traveling in a plane is than traveling by sea or by land.A. more naturalB. more convenientC. quickerD. both B and C5. To make life more comfortable, some people travel to different places with changes inthe .A. friendsB. moneyC. weatherD. languagePassage 2◎题型:材料题Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can't ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can't be so effective if it's taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.题型:单选题6. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is ____.A. the increase of populationB. the limited energy resourcesC. the more serious air pollutionD. the development of technology7. From the passage, we can know that ____.A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the governmentB. taking measures now can soon improve the environmentC. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problemsD. every single person's action has some effect on environment protection8. The author's main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to ____.A. complain about people's slow actions to protect the environmentB. advise people to take actions to protect the environmentC. show himself to be an active environment protectorD. point out the bad effects of technologies in protecting environment9. The author believes that carpooling can ____.A. give help to those without carsB. save people money and timeC. save energy resources and reduce air pollutionD. promote friendship among drivers10. The passage is mainly about ____.A. energy resources savingB. environment protectionC. population controlD. air pollutionPassage 3◎题型:材料题What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.题型:单选题11. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. Using school performance to help to choose a career.C. The importance of being good at all subjects.D. The indirect value of schoolwork.12. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB. useful for his future workC. a good way to earn extra moneyD. a good way to find out his weak points13. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A. will be a complete failure in his future workB. will not be able to find a suitable jobC. will regret not having worked harder at schoolD. may do well in his future work14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?A. Mathematics.B. English.C. Technical Drawing.D. History.15. The whole passage centers on ______.A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB. acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC. finding one's strong and weak pointsD. developing one's abilities useful in school workPassage 4◎题型:材料题The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle of the 1950s, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle of the 1970s. Something else happened in the 1970s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market.Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes.Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.16. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B. There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970s.C. Birthrate began to decline in the U.S. in the 1950s.D. High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.17 The phrase "laid off" can best be replaced by which of the following?A. Poor.B. Got rid of.C. Removed.D. Unemployed.18. American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were ____.A. smallB. gas-consumingC. fuel-efficientD. not attractive19. The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that____.A. they couldn't get enough income to keep them runningB. young people couldn't afford the tuition feesC. keeping them running at the same level would cost much moreD. social services need more state funds because of the recession20. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.A. Young people couldn't afford their own tuition in the 1970sB. It was difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970sC. Fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession inthe 1970sD. Birthrate dropped in the 1970s because of the recessionPart IV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. There are four choices for each question and you should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Questions 50 to 54 are based on the following passage.As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the diversification of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon qualifications and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than shortage was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in theirown homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others.Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.50. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education inthe United States was____________(A) the growing number of schools in frontier communities(B) an increase in the number of trained teachers(C) the expanding economic problems of schools(D) the increased urbanization of the entire country51. The phrase "coincided with" in line 8 is closest in meaning to____________(A) was influenced by(B) happened at the same time as(C) began to grow rapidly(D) ensured the success of52. According to the passage, one important change inUnited States education by the 1920's was that_____________(A) most places required children to attend school(B) the amount of time spent on formal education was limited(C) new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education(D) adults and children studied in the same classes53. Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in lines 12 to illustrate_______________(A) alternatives to formal education provided by public schools(B) the importance of educational changes(C) activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs.(D) the increased impact of public schools on students.54. According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that_______________(A) different groups needed different kinds of education(B) special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them(C) corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress(D) more women should be involved in education and industryPassage 2Questions 55 to 59 are based on the following passage.According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family traditional cultural patterns place leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment (招募).Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a socialgroup. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done.” Expressive leaders hip, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The problems faced by leaders.(B) How leadership differs in small and large groups.(C) How social groups determine who will lead them.(D) The role of leaders in social groups.56. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT ___________.(A) recruitment(B) formal election process(C) specific leadership training(D) traditional cultural patterns57. In mentioning “natural leaders” in line 9, the author is making the point that __________.(A) few people qualify as “natural leaders”.(B) there is no proof that “natural leaders” exi st.(C) “natural leaders” are easily accepted by the members of a group.(D) “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics.58. The word “resolve” in line 27 is closest in meaning to _____________.(A) avoid repeating(B) talk about(C) avoid thinking about(D) find a solution for59. The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on ___________.(A) ensuring harmonious relationships.(B) sharing responsibility with group members.(C) identifying new leaders.(D) achieving a goal.Task 2 Skimming and Scanning (Questions 60-69; 15 minutes)Directions: You have 15 minutes to go over the passage and answer questions 60 to 69. For questions 60 to 66, choose the best answer from the choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 67 to 69, comple the sentences with the information given in the passage.。

For half that time, English was just the language of the people living in England. The modern English language grew by about the year 1400. Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at international meetings, business, science and other fields. The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, license, color and travelled are spelt as center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America “cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry, post…” are called” rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail…”. But people f rom the two countries can still understand each other easily. There are only a very small number of differences in grammar(语法) between American English and British English. The most important differences are in spoken English. For example, Americans pronounce “tomato” differently from English people. Y ou may wonder “Which is correct?” The answer is that it does not matter. Y ou should speak either American English or British English. But do not try to speak both at the same time. 26. When was English only spoken in England? B A. About the 6th century B. Before the 17th century C. Before the 14th century D. Before the 15th century 27. Why is English the most widely used language in the world? Because __C__.A. it has the largest number of speakers in the worldB. it is spoken not only in Britain but also in AmericaC. it is one of the most important working language in many fieldsD. A, B and C28. Which sentence about the difference between British and AmericanEnglish is NOT true? CA. There are some small spelling differences.B. Most of the words are the sameC. There are quite a few differences in grammar.D. There are lots of differences in spoken English.29. ___A_ are the words in American English.A. Rooster, eraser, color, truck, mailB. V acation, ill, travelled, licence, centerC. Mail, traveled, sick, color, licenseD. Sick, truck, color, rooster, post30. The writer asks us not to try to speak both at the same time。
