Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the 33 that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-- 34 an animal, such as a cat----can learn to recognize faces. We all 35 this ability for granted.We also tell people 36 by observing how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the 37 in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks or feels that 38 that individual different from others.Like the huma n face, human personality is very complex.

Cloze 2. 31-40CADBC DBDACPart 4 ( 短文五篇，检查、考核其中三篇)IV. Reading comprehension:(30%)Passage AAfter reading the following instruction to the cause on First Certificate in English, you are required to complete the outline below it (No.41 through 45). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.A local telephone directory is sometimes called the White Pages. This directory provides an alphabetic listing of names and telephone number and other telephone reference information. The front pages usually contain information about area codes; billings; customer service; directory assistance (帮助); local, long-distance, and international calls; time zones; rates; emergency numbers and other items relating to telephone use.The next section of the telephone directory typically contains the residence listings; or entries, of community residents. The third section contains business listings, or entries, of local businesses and organizations. In some less populated (人口密集) or rural areas, the residence and business listings may be combined in one section.Some local directories contain listings of local, state and federal (联邦的) government offices and agencies. These listings might be united into the business listing section, or they may be in a separate section of the phone book. These government listings typically are arranged by the name of the state government and then by departments or agencies.Passage BDo you know how to use a mobile phone（手机）without being rude to the people around you?Talking during a performance irritates（激怒）people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate（振动）. When you mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches, or other indoor public places especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you.Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.Choose the best answer.46. What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?A. Call back after the performance.B. Answer it near the exit door.C. Talk outside the exit door.D. Speak in a low voice.47. Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think _____.A. you prefer to talk to your friends at the tableB. you value your calls more than your friendsC. you are enjoying the company of your friendsD. you are polite and considerate of your friends48. When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _____.A. use a more sensitive microphoneB. shout loudly into your microphoneC. go away quietly to continue the phone callD. use your hand to help speak into the phone49. The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be _____.A. limitedB. expectedC. discouragedD. recommended50. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs.B. You should speak quietly into your phone while in a church.C. You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.D. You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.Passage CPeople do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember solution from the last time they had a similar problem.They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for the information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gear carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration again. His suggestion might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.Choose the best answer.51. Which of the following would best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Suggestion for repairing Sam’s bicyc leB. Sam’s problem with his bicycleC. Possible ways leading to problemD. Necessities of analysis for problem-solution52. In analyzing a problem people must follow all the steps except _______.A. trying to solve it regardless of the resultB. recognizing and defining the problemC. getting information to make the problem clearerD. having suggestions for a possible solution53. The author’s purpose of using Sam’s broken bicycle is ________.A. to suggest the possible problems of his bicycleB. to tell us how to analyze a problemC. to illustrate the ways of repairing his bicycleD. to show us how to solve a problem54. Sam gets his broken bicycle work perfectly by ________.A. analyzing the problemB. asking his friends for helpC. reading a bicycle repair bookD. cleaning the dirty wheel55. Which of the following is Not True?A. People often accept other people’s opinionsB People sometimes learn from their past experienceC. People don’t have to analyse the problems they meetD. People may fail to solve some problems they meetPassage DNot long before a university professor（大学教授）made several experiments（实验）with different animals to find out which was the most intelligent. He found out the monkey was more intelligent than other animals.In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room where there were several small boxes. Some boxes were inside of the boxes. One small box had some food inside it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and to find out how long it would take the monkey to find the food. The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside the door. Then he knelt(跪下）down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see? To his surprise he found himself looking directly（正好）into the eye of the monkey. The monkey was looking at the professor through the other side of the door.Choose the best answer.1. The reading mainly wants to tell us ____.A. the food is difficult for animals to findB. there are too many animals to feedC. the result of the experiment on a monkeyD. the professor was clever to make the ex p eriment2.The word “intelligent” in the reading means ____.A. cleverB. worriedC. quickD. careless3.The professor put the food in a small box to ____.A. give the monkey a surpriseB. see how the monkey ate from a boxC. know how soon the monkey could find itD. find out how the monkey could open the box4.The professor watched the monkey by ____.A. watching it through the keyholeB. waiting outside the roomC. kneeling down at the doorD. digging a hole in the door5.The experiments were probably（可能）made ____.A. in the forestB. outside a zoo with many people aroundC. in a labD. in the professor’s homePassage EMany visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush .City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?”Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, notnoticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.Choose the best answer.6. Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.[A] America is a highly developed country[B] American city people seem to be always in a rush[C] the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble[D] Americans are impatient and unfriendly people7.When the author says “ You will miss smile ”, he means ___________.[A] you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy[B] you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you[C] you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly[D] you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor8. In the author’s opinion, ___________.[A] it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city[B] people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable[C] most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities[D] those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly9. The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris ___________.[A] to show that city people all over the world have a lot in common[B] to let his readers be aware that they are some of the world’s biggest cities[C] to illustrate their difference from American cities[D] because they are some of the cities that attract visitors most10. If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably be will _________.[A] offer his help[B] stop smiling at you[C] help you find the way[D] reply that he is pleased to meet youIV.Passage A.41. the White Pages42. alphabetic43. front pages44. second45. separate sectionPassage B.46-50 CBDACPassage C51-55 DABACPassageD.1-5 CACACPassage E.6-10 BCDAAPart 5 ( Section A / B各两份，检查、考核其中各一份)V.
