For each question there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D. Choose the best answer to each of the questions.Passage OneIn the course of my reading I had come across a case where, many years ago, some hunters on our Great Plains organized a buffalo hunt for the entertainment of an English earl and to provide some fresh meat for his use. They had charming sport. They killed seventy-two of those great animals; and ate part of one of them and left the seventy-one to rot. In order to determine the difference between an anaconda（蟒蛇）and an earl, I had seven lambs t urned into the anaconda’s cage. The grateful snake immediately crushed one of them and swallowed it, then lay back satisfied. It showed no further interest in the lamb, and no inclination to harm them. I tried this experiment with other anacondas is that the earl is cruel and the anaconda isn’t; and the earl wantonly (肆无忌惮地) destroyed what he has no use for, but the anaconda doesn’t. This seemed to suggest that the anaconda was not descended from the earl. It also seemed to suggest that the earl was descended from the anaconda and had lost a good deal in the transition.I was aware that many men who have accumulated more money that they can ever use have shown a hunger for more, and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless out of their poor servings in order to partially satisfy the appetite. I furnished a hundred different kinds of wild and domestic animals the opportunity to accumulate vast stores of food but none of them would do it. The squirrels and bees and certain birds made accumulations, but stopped when they gathered a winter’s supply, and could not be persuaded to add to it either honestly or by trickery. These experiments convinced me that there is this difference between man and the higher animals: he is greedy, they are not.In the course of my experiments, I convinced myself that among the animals man isthe only one that harbors insults and injuries, broods over (默默沉思) them, waits till a chance offers, then takes revenge. The passion of revenge is unknown to the higher animals.31. By describing the buffalo hunting and his experiment with the anaconda, the author mainly wants to tell his readers that ____.A. the anaconda is easily satisfiedB. the earl’s ancestor turned out to be the anacondaC. the earl is capable of committing wanton crueltyD. the anaconda does not harm other animals except when it is hungry32. According to the author, in human society, the rich ____.A. are inclined to gather more richesB. tend to accumulate vast stores of foodC. are mostly cheatersD. are ready to help the poor33. The author’s experiments with different kinds of animals seem to prove that ____.A. man is the highest animalB. man is superior to animalsC. man is inferior to animals in certain respectsD. man is the lowest animal34. We learn from the last paragraph that _____.A. love of revenge is a unique characteristic of manB. man is the only animal capable of thinkingC. human beings are capable of insulting and injuring each otherD. man is better at taking chances than animals35. In this passage, the author writes a(n) _____.A. serious toneB. ironic toneC. angry toneD. matter-of –fact tonePassage TwoUnder normal conditions, the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receivingcommunication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry (模仿). Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communication visually is by signals of fire, smoke，flags or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand stroking (击掌) has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common: they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.36. The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because ____.A. communication actually takes place when the message is receivedB. there are more means of receiving than of sending communicationC. reception of communications involves use of the sensesD. it is difficult to organize by typing the means of sending communications37. Persons who cannot see, hear or speak are able to communicate through a system of ____.A. gesturingB. handshakingC. backslappingD. hand stroking38. A form of visual communication often used with a type of auditory communication is ____.A. gesturingB. handshakingC. backslappingD. hand stroking39. The author specifically mentions that speech is ____.A. often used when communicating by touchB. necessary for satisfactory communication by gestureC. the only highly developed system of communicationD. the most developed form of communication based on hearing40. Which of the following statements about communication by touch is TRUE? _____.A. Touch is less important than taste as a means of communication.B. There is no well-developed system of communication based on touch.C. It is possible to communicate intelligently by touch along.D. Touch must accompany visual communication.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (1*15=10 points)Directions: There are 15 incomplete sentences in this part.
