Believe it or not, clothing can make you ill! Clothes that are too tight can restrict your breathing and cause abdominal pain. Clothes that are too loose can cause accidents. For example, loose sleeves can get caught in machinery. Clothing that istoo heavy or thick may cause heat exhaustion. Clothing thatis too light may not give you enough protection from the sun. So, what should you wear? First, choose clothing that fits well. It shouldn't be too tight or too loose. Make sure you choose clothes that are right for the weather. In the winter, wear warm clothes and a hat. In the summer, wear light-colored clothes that reflect the sun’s rays. It is also important to wear good shoes that fit properly to protect your feet.The type of fabric you wear is important too. Cotton and wool are good materials because they breathe. They allow air to circulate close to the skin, which helps to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Synthetic fabrics like nylon and polyester are not good because they don’t breathe. They keep sweat close to your skin. This can cause rashes, blisters, and infections. So always choose clothes made from natural fibers.Finally, remember to change your clothes often. Clean clothes are important for good health. Dirty clothes are full of germs and bacteria. They can cause skin infections, colds, and other illnesses.1. What can happen if you wear clothes that are too tight?A. You can get sunburned.B. You can get cold.C. You can’t br eathe well.D. You can get skin infections.2.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Finding the Best SummarySample:Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself "All of you". When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome, and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky, "For whom have you prepared all this feast?" The man replied: "For all of you." So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the Story（略）4. Taking SidesSample:1) I don't admire Tortoise's cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid . When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was eaten by Tortoise. I think the birds were very unlucky.2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn't cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn't be carried away by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can't change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.Vocabulary Practice1. 1) A. invitation B.invited C. inviting2) A. prepare B.prepared C. preparationD. preparatory / preparation3) A. discoveries B. discoverers C.discovered4) A. approval B.approve C. approved D. approvingE. disapprove5) A. eloquent B. eloquence C.eloquently6) A. faithful B.unfaithful/faithless C. faith D.faithfully7) A. occasional B. occasionally C.occasion8) A. delivery B.delivering C. delivered9) A. troublesome B. troubled C.troubled D. troubling10) A. assurance B.assured C. assure2. 1) got / ran into trouble 2) no trouble 3)asking for trouble4) have … trouble 5) troublewith 6) in serious/deep/big trouble7) get/getting … into trouble 8) took the trouble3. 1) with a pattern of roses2) prepared a wonderful / good meal for us3) promised faithfully4) deliver this letter5) a selection of milk and plain chocolate6) keep out of mischief / behave themselves7) the sound of distant thunder8) received approval from the government9) in spite of the fact that he drank too much10) agree whether the drug is safe or notPart Four Writing and Translation(P 96)2.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing likemusic and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. (239 words)26. The origin of language is D .A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved27. What is true about words?CA. They are used to express feelings only.B. They can not be written down.C. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.28. The real power of words lies in their D .A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function29. By "association", the author means B .A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature30. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?AA. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 2Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theaters, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. (287 words)31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?BA. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.32. With the same money needed for C , one can buy a little house with a garden in thecountry.A. getting a small flat with a gardenB. having a small flat with a gardenC. renting a small flat without a gardenD. buying a small flat without a garden33. When the garden is in blossom, the one B has been rewarded.A. living in the countryB. having spent time working in the gardenC. having a garden of his ownD. having been digging, planting and watering34. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that A if they had to live outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluableC. they didn't deserve a happy lifeD. they were not worthy of their happy life35. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to C .A. deal withB. do away withC. escape fromD. prevent fromPassage 3By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others----they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us----an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星) , who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death----such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. (258 words)36. The passage mainly deals with C .A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebrities37. Heroes and heroines are usually D .A. courageousB. good examples to followC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above38. Which of the following statements is wrong?DA. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One's look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.39. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love C .A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a prince40. What is more likely to set an icon's status?BA. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one's story.四、完形填空 Cloze（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)Did you sleep well last night?

I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom.

'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling.

'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie. 'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.' I agreed. 'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening. 'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said. Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.

(Part One) Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby nearby town. town. town. Mr. Mr. Mr. Stewart Stewart Stewart called called called the the the owner, owner, owner, trying trying trying to to to persuade persuade persuade him him him to to to let let let him him him be be be his his his agent. agent.

As As good good good things things things are are are never never never easy easy easy to to to acquire, acquire, acquire, the the the time time time for for for the the the appointment appointment appointment had had had to to to be be be changed changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house. As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing failing to to to do do do so, so, so, had had had always always always hoped hoped hoped that that that one one one of of of his his his two two two daughters daughters daughters or or or his his his grandchildren grandchildren grandchildren could could someday become a doctor.

As As As the the the postman postman postman demanded demanded demanded a a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing v alue of the amount came to a little over value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college! Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer. The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois. Statements: 1. Several coincidences happened in the story. 2. The coincidences made it possible for the owner to sell his house at a good price. 3. No one actually benefited from the coincidences. 4. It can be inferred that Mr. Stewart did not have to seek extra work from then on. 5. With the extra money Mr. Stewart had earned, Andrew's dream finally came true. Part C Dad Stops for Gas, Finds Lost Son Nueng Garcia was the son of an American serviceman stationed in Thailand in 1969. But his father went back to the States when Nueng was only three months old. When he grew up Nueng immigrated to the United States and worked as a gas station clerk in Pueblo, Colorado. His dream was to find his father John Garcia. Year after year, he tried in vain to search for information about the whereabouts of his father. It was a fine day in Pueblo. There was not a cloud in the blue sky. But for him, it was just another day on the job. Suddenly he noticed the name of one customer who paid with a check. The man, who was in his fifties, had the same surname as his own. Nueng raised his head from the check and looked at the man. Could this be his father? "Are you John Garcia?" he asked. "Yes," came the answer. "Were you ever in the Air Force?" "Yes." "Were you ever in Thailand?" "What's that to do with you?" answered the man, who became suspicious by then. "Were you or were you not?" Nueng persisted. "Yes." "Did you ever have a son?" At this truth dawned on the man. They stared at each other and realized at the same moment that they were father and son who were separated 27 years ago and half a world away.

Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.) John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement. Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together. Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement. John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed." Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are. John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want. Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy. Questions: 1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda? 2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage? 3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation? Text 2 A Marriage Agreement (Part Two) John: Linda, do you spend a lot of time checking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing? Linda: No, not at all. Tom: A lot of couples argue because they don't understand each other's expectations. I think we spend less time arguing than most couples because we both know what the other person expects. John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule? Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement. John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules. "If you break a rule, you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up." Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving. John: What's the rule? Linda: Linda: The The The rule rule rule is is we we must must must ask ask ask for for for directions directions directions if if if we we we are are are driving driving driving and and and get get get lost lost lost for for for more more more than than than five five minutes. John: What happened? Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions, but I thought I could figure it out. Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong direction and ended up being late for the wedding. Tom: So I took her out to dinner. I knew what I should do to apologize. John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? What if things change in your life and a rule doesn't work anymore? Linda: We've thought about that too. Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a year and make necessary changes. John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both. Thank you very much for your time. Tom & Linda: Thank you. Statements: 1. Tom and Linda never argue because they both know what the other person expects. 2. Once Tom broke Article 14 and apologized to Linda by taking her out to dinner. 3. 3. If If If some some some of of of the the the rules rules rules in in in the the the marriage marriage marriage agreement agreement agreement become become become outdated, outdated, outdated, changes changes changes will will will be be be made made made to to update them. 4.

Is Is Is your your your ideal ideal ideal partner partner partner the the the most most traditional or the most modern person? Is he or she the person most like you, or most unlike you? The answer, psychologists say, is none of the above. Why? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear. Most people are happy with moderation -- with partners who are not the most or the best (or the least or the worst). People are more comfortable with partners who are not so special. The The research research research showed showed showed several several several other other other important important important things. things. things.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vocation from thinking.1.According to the passage, man's intelligence ___________.A.stays the same through the yearB.varies from day to dayC.changes with the seasonsD.changes from year to year2.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have __________.A.a great effect on everyone's intelligenceB.some effect on most people's intelligenceC.some effect on a few people's intelligenceD.no effect on most people's intelligence3.Ellsworth Huntington's conclusion was based on ___________.A.variations of his own mental abilities from season to seasonB.the results of research done by himself and other scientists among peoples in differentclimates.C.detailed records of temperature changes in different placesD.detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples in different climates4.Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vocation from thinking?A.Because a long vocation in summer helps to improve people's mental power.B.Because people tend to be less creative during summer.C.Because summer is a good time for outdoor activities.D.Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of people's energy.5.The central idea of this passage is ___________.A.man's mental abilities change from season to seasonB.man's intelligence varies from place to placeC.man should take a long vocation in summerD.if you want to do creative thinking, go to a cool placePassage 2When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood ---- all of them too young to walk ---- and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupation.My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lesson did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes, I asked him why, and when he replied "Because it is beautiful," I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believed that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.6.When her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story ___________.A.was teaching half a dozen babies to danceB.was teaching half a dozen babies to walkC.was collecting babies of the neighborhoodD.was making babies of the neighborhood sit before her on the floor7.The attitude of the narrator's mother toward her school of dance was one of ___________.A. despiseB. contemptC. supportD. indifference8.The narrator thought that ballet was __________.A. the most graceful danceB. stiff, ugly and unnaturalC. a dance that she had dreamed ofD. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter9.According to the narrator, she owed her success in art to ___________.A.the good education her parents gave herB.the support of her understanding and adventurous motherC.her inborn talentD.her ballet teacher10.The central idea of the passage is that __________.A.parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it whilethey are youngB.the so-called good education parents give their children only drives them into thecommonplace and deprives them of any chance of doing anything originalC.mothers should be heroic and adventurousD.ballet is no good as a form of danceIs vitamin E a cure for baldness? Will it cure acne（痤疮）? Can it relieve the pain of arthritis or prevent ulcers? These are only a few of the uses some people claim for vitamin E, but for many years no scientific proof has been possible for any of these claims.Vitamin E is not a rare substance by any means; it is present in vegetable oils and in grains, but in most diets the main source of vitamin E is leafy vegetables. Some vitamin E is lost in the cooking process, but not a really significant amount; a good balanced diet will, according to critics of “vitamin medicine”, s upply all the vitamin E anyone needs.In animals, shortage of vitamin E causes sudden and obvious changes. Chickens deprived of vitamin E develop muscular weakness. Calves whose diets contain inadequate amounts of vitamin E develop heart disease. Rats who are deprived of vitamin E develop liver degeneration. Nor do they grow as quickly as healthy rats.But in humans, with one exception, there are no symptoms of any kind associated with a vitamin E deficiency. Premature infants who lack proper amounts of vitamin E sometimes develop anemia（贫血）or skin rashes, but any symptoms caused by this deficiency in adult humans are either too insignificant to appear in normal tests or are simply nonexistent. A study in Elgin, Illinois, followed subjects maintained on low vitamin E diets for six years and could discover no effects of the diet on the subjects at all.Some studies, such as a study performed by three Canadian doctors in the late 1940s, have found vitamin E helpful in treating specific diseases, such as angina pectoris, a type of heart disease. But other studies have tried to duplicate these findings and failed. So there is no absolutely undeniable evidence that vitamin E will prevent or cure disease.Claims for the cosmetic use of vitamin E continue to multiply, however. Creams and ointments containing vitamin E appear on the market almost daily, to help remove skin blemishes（瑕疵）, to soften dry skin, to control skin wrinkles. Vitamin E is even used in deodorants（除臭剂）. Vitamin E itself is a preservative, an antio xidant, so the producers’ thinking is that vitamin E will prevent odor by preventing bacteria from oxidizing perspiration. But no study or medical proof ever appeared to prove any of these cosmetic claims completely.You can add vitamin E pills to your morning routine if you like, but unfortunately no one has ever been able to demonstrate conclusively any reason why you should.11. The main idea of this passage is that _____.A.taken as a preventive measure against disease, vitamin E can be harmfulB.although vitamin E has not been proved effective in fighting disease, it does have somecosmetic valueC.most of the medical and cosmetic claims about vitamin E are not supported by researchD.advertisements are attempting to mislead the public with their claims about vitamin E12. In animals, vitamin E deficiency is associated with all of the following disorders except_____.A. heart diseaseB. diabetesC. liver degenerationD. muscular weakness13. Which of the following conclusions is NOT supported by the passage?A.Vitamin E deficiency is less harmful to humans than to other animal.B.Vitamin E may be helpful in treating angina pectoris.C.Vitamin E is more useful cosmetically than medically.D.Vitamin E is fairly abundant in a balanced diet.14. The passage suggests that ______.A.little research has been done to protect consumersB.the public regards vitamin E as a wonder drugC.advertising is basically a business of deceptionD.some research that has been reported has been proved false15. As used in this passage, the word “degeneration” means _____.A. ailmentB. deteriorationC. devianceD. maturationIn the first year or so of web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because business people typically know what product they are looking for.Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the web because of doubts about its reliability. Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private Internet.Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to pull customers into sites. In the past years, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to push information directly out to customers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers’ computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company’s web site. Companies such a s Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product of offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Net purist.But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, , and other pioneers show that a web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop on silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.16. We learn from the beginning of the passage that web business _____.A.has been striving to expand its marketB.intended to follow a fanciful fashionC.tried but in vain to control the marketD.has been booming for one year or so17. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that_____.A.the technology is popular with many web usersB.businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactionC.there is a radical change in strategyD.it is accessibly limited to established partners18. In the view of Net purists, ______.A.there should be no market messages on online cultureB.money making should be given priority to on the webC.the web should be able to function as the television setD.there should be no online commercial information without request19. We learn from the last paragraph that ______.A.pushing information on the web is essential to Internet commerceB.interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customersC.leading companies began to take the online plunge decades agoD.setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing power20. The word “transaction” in paragraph two can be best replaced by _____.A. interactivityB. activityC. dealD. dealingPassage 5Today’s trumpet is one of the world’s oldest instrument. It is really the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are b lown. And they all use the player’s lips to produce the basic sound.The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more beautiful music, and, in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of seven different sizes and in several different keys. There are cornet, bugles, flugelhorns and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.21.

Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from what is now known as Turkey brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.
