Part I Reading Comprehension (24 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the following passage.It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a lO-knownmile race over a course with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake(追上) her later on when she tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, andI can say it is often hard work.1. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?A. It would be hard work.B. It would be an easy race.C. It would be a test of his strength.D. It would be a good learning experience.2. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.3. By saying "a long, punishing hill" (paragraph 5 ), the writer implies that _____________ .A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task4. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the following passage.Though war is something people hate, Director Feng Xiaogang often exposes his audience to it. “If we don’t impress the audience, who are without the painful experience of war, with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with anger in his eyes.After Red River Valley and Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, both of which star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing, Feng drew a satisfactory full stop to his war trilogy last month with Purple Sunset.The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World War II was drawing to and end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the hope that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arrive in a Japanese base. Humanity （仁慈）prevents them from killing the young, innocent victim of Japanese militarism（军国主义）. This humanity, the longing for peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite.“If people are touched by justice, tolerance and unselfishness, I think I have achieved my goal,” Feng said. Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film, such as tanksfighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive, to show t he cruelty of war. But that’s never his personal preference, he says. “Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I detest war, “he said, “I wrote all the things for my war films by myself. Whenever I finished one, I felt as though I had suffered great pain.”Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the snowy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau in Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used to study art and I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”5. Director Feng Xiaogang shot war film because_________.A. he was deeply interested in such a topicB. he wanted to give the audience the painful experience of warC. he hoped to arouse people’s love of peace and objection to warD. he dreamed of becoming a world-famous director6. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier seized a Japanese girl so that_____.A. they could find the Japanese base easilyB. she could take them out of the forestC. they could kill her for revenge（报复）D. it would cause the Japanese militarism to give in7.Scenes of Japanese burning Chinese people alive in the film are to ______.A. show that war is cruelB. attract people’s interestC. show Feng’s personal p reference and interestD. make the film moving and interesting8.The underlined word “detest” in this passage refers to ________.A. hateB. likeC. fleeD. know aboutQuestions 9 to 12 are based on the following passageYou must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts.

These materials can be 5)adjusted to your level if you input some key words in the search engine. But how can you remember the 6)bulk of unfamiliar words?In this case, the Internet 7)evidently makes it easier to learn vocabulary. You can use online dictionaries to instantly find out their grammatical 8)functions and the specific meaning of these words. The Internet helps you to 9)efficiently accumulate vocabulary based on lively and interesting language content, which greatly reduces your 10)distress caused by inability to remember the new words. The efficiency of this vocabulary learning is one of the reasons why the Internet has become an ideal place to learn English.二、Through exploration of the humanities, we learn how to think creatively and critically, to analyze, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow us to gain new 1)insight into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts 2)education since the ancient Greeks first used them to educate their citizens.Research into the human experience helps to 3)boost our knowledge about our world. Through the work of humanities scholars, we learn about the values of different cultures, about what goes into making a work of art, and about the 4)mystery of how history is made. Their efforts depict the great accomplishments of the past, help us understand the world today, and give us tools to imagine the 5)prospect of our future.Today, humanistic knowledge continues to 6)promote the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience. Learning another language might help to 7)invest you with great insights as well as gain much 8)apperciation of different cultures. Taking a close look at a sculpture might make you think about how an artist's life 9)affected his creative decisions Reading a book from another region of the world might help you 10)speculate about the meaning of democracy. Listening to history courses might give you a clearer picture of what the future will be like.三、There is a special life stage that our generation goes through. It is the 1)transition period, during which we move from teenage to adolescence. We learn who we are and what we stand for and what inspires us. Also, in this period we are 2)saddled with a lot of pressure from our parents who want us to make something out of ourselves.My parents have already expressed feelings of 3)anxiety over my future with academics and life. When I expressed to them recently that I would not mind graduating in five years instead of four in order to study abroad to 4)acquaint myself with the world, they seemed so shocked. That idea sounded foreign and to them was 5)equivalent to lack of ambition.Apart from that, my mother has 6)expressed to me that sheis worried that I am not searching for a boyfriend. I 7)resent this stupid idea of marrying out of college since it does not suit me one bit. Women today can get what they want out of life without a man, even children, as it becomesmore 8)acceptable for women to adopt children.I personally want to stay in school as long as I can to9)reinforce my academic work, possibly complete a law degree and start a career, and then after, and only after, begin to think about 10)shifting to marriage. If my math is correct, that means I will be more or less "ready" for marriage at the age of 29 or 30, the age when my mother had me.四、Traditional dating is a self-paced, general meeting of two people. The two usually1)commence with spending extra time together, getting to know one another and seeing how2)tempting they could be to each other. A good example is a man meeting a woman and sensing her 3)charm. He then extends a formal invitation for a date. With traditional dating, you get to go at a steady pace, 4)allowing yourself and your date to get to know each other through extensive contact.There are many 5)components that can be expected from traditional dates. Men, who are supposed to 6)display these traditional values, will open the door for the woman, stand up when she leaves the table, pay for everything, and 7)proceed to the next move. In the 1950s, a man would usually ask a woman out several days ahead for a specific date and time. If she accepted, they would 8)arrange for a time to pick her up. He would then take her to a dinner and a movie. T oday the rules of traditional dating are less clear. Twenty years ago, if a young lady asked a young man out on a date, it was thought to be 9)weird.Now, women are being encouraged to take the initiative and ask men out. A date may consist of a brief meeting at a caféor a trip to the 10)local art museum. Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch. The traditional dating style has been found much less common now.五、To spend or save is a question which many people have. There is always a(n) 1)dilemma whether one should spend the money that he has earned or save that money for the future. Well, there is no 2)explicit answer to the question as different people have different 3)perspectives on their life, and that is the reason why some people tend to spend all the money earned while others 4)retain control over their money.People who spend all the money do not think much about the future. The only thing that they enjoy doing most is to5)derive pleasure from spending money. For example, if they likea particular car, mobile phone or laptop, they will buy it without giving it a thought. For them, the most important thing is to satisfy their material 6)appetite. People who have their first job or who haven't married often fall in this category.In the long run, saving is a good 7)option for one's life as saving helps an individual to plan for future 8)urgent needs. That is also the reason why many people save money for a rainy day. Individuals who can 9)suspend their spending save money successfully. Instead of buying on impulse, they delay their purchasing decision and won't be easily 10)manipulate by commercial ads. Individuals who have responsibility for their family belong to this category.Expression in use51.A few years later, Franklin got married, started his own printing shop, and was looked upon asa successful young businessman.52.An allowance can be based upon your child's age, your own financial resources, the expenses it will cover and the goals you and your child wish to accomplish.53.As our sweet childhood gives way to adolescence's temptation of love, we begin to learn, as adults, that most pleasures do not last forever.54.As she entered the most dynamic period of her career, Kylie took stock of her success and tried to analyze the strong impact of her college education.55.As the result of her divorce, she was obviously saddled with the double burden of playing the role of both mother and father.56.Because of easy access to the Internet, the new breakthrough to create something truly creative 3)is bound to happen anytime now.57.Because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food and 1) are liable to experience an iron deficiency.58.Both professional experts and school teachers say that children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts.59.Do not be intimidated by people who think they are smarter than you, and don't back off when facing competition; inner confidence is important.60.During the weeks of discussion, delegations from groups who are interested in the resolution may call on representatives to 7)stand up for their point of view.61.Earthquakes occur without warning; however, it is claimed that some animals can feel earthquakes prior to occurrencesbecause of their highly sensitive organs.62.Expelled from public school for drinking and smoking and then failing in show business as a singer, she joined her father's business 10 years ago63.In order to persuade his daughter to put off the marriage, the father quoted statistics showing mixed-race couples had higher divorce rates than same-race couples.64.In the economic recession, employers resorted to the reduction of costs, most particularly in wages, in order to survive in the competitive world markets.65.Indeed, if teachers want to 4)speculate about how far students might get in life, a better measurement than grades might be how hard the students try.66.It doesn't make sense to buy that expensive coat when these cheaper ones are just as good.67.It is hoped that some new high-tech companies will be attracted to this small, old town to encourage loans for building houses and factories.68.It is very important for students to understand and take in new information.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B). C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center .Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighbourhood —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 neighbourhood 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 lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why, and when he replied “ Becauseit is beautiful, ” I said thwaat sit 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 (窒息) . I believe 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.21.

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 teacher25. ________________________________________ 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 while they 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 dance Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passageOn November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of courtesy. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, “ I have failed again. rain b”ackOton Wthaesthington he commented sadly,“ That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed. ”Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little, as people read the speech, they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning.

They are emerging as credible business tools that enable individuals and companies to communicate cheaply and efficientlyaround the globe.Like the in-house electronic mail networks that have become a fact of business life in many companies, these systems provide a means of sending and receiving messages via personal computers or computer terminals, with global electronic mail services, however, messages can be sent across the world or across town.For evidence of the rising popularity of electronic mail, a look at the business cards collected from clients or contacts lately should be enough. The chances are that some of them include electronic mail “ addresses ” along with telephone and fax numbers.The advantages of electronic mail are numerous. It can eliminate hours of frustrating “ telephone tag ” and enable people to commuancicraotses time-zones with ease. It also substitutes for busy fax machines that print out piles of paper which are often misplaced or misdirected. With electronic mail, the message appears upon the computer screen of the individual being contacted.The biggest roadblock to the success of electronic mail in the past has been the lack of sufficient users. Although dozens of personal computer electronic mail services are available, until recently they were not linked. This meant that to reach somebody it was necessary to subscribe to the same electronic massaging system.Over the past couple of years, however, many electronic mail systems have started “tal to one another. The mechanism for this is “ Internet a”lo—w-cost and efficient link between electronic mail services worldwide.Internet links an estimated 1.5 million computers over 10,000 networks in 50 countries, serving about six million users. Internet resembles a computer network cooperative. There is no central authority that oversees it, and rules are largely informal.Over the past 20 years it has mushroomed to include regional, corporate and public networks, including commercial electronic mail systems. “ People conduct their love life over Internet, their hobbies and their interests. They argue politi cs and engage in all kinds of business, s”ays Mr. Mitch Kapor, co-founder of Electronic Frontier Fountain of Cambridge, Massachusetts, which promotes awareness of the on-line world.“ Internetis doubling annually in users, networks, computers and traffic, sa”ys Mr. Vinton Cert, president of the Internet Society, a volunteer secretariat that helps administer the network. is growing faster than any other telecommunications systems ever built, including the telephone network. ”Commercial users now outnumber academic and government Internet users, and Mr. Cert predicts, the system will soon serve over 100 million users.Despite the anarchic nature of its structure, the basics of using Internet communications are simple. All that is needed is a computer, a communications software package and a subscription to an on-line information service linked to Internet.Subscription costs range from about US $ 9 to US $ 20 per month, depending upon the service and varying according to the information services offered.Once a subscription to one of these services is obtained, the charge for sending an electronic message is generally only a few cents. In most places a local telephone call will connect you to the system.31. According to the passage, “ electronic m a iyl to___”__.is a wA) upgrade the old mail systemB) get electronics by mailC) communicate by personal computers or computer terminalsD) connect to the post office32. Electronic mail is widely used in business ____ .A) for its efficiency and low costB) with the coming of the computer ageC) because it is part of business trainingD) to speed up the sending of messages33. In Para.4, Line 2, “ telephone tag ” is ________ .A) a leaked messageB) an inability to contact the person on the telephoneC) getting the wrong person on the telephoneD) matching time with the caller34. Electronic mail wasn ' t successful in the past because ___ .A) the cost of electronic mail services was very highB) personal computers weren ' t widely usedC) its users subscribed to different, unconnected mail servicesD) computer networks could not be connected globally35.

more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of list on earth. climatic boundaries establish the limits within which organisms can survive. plants, even more than animals, must be adapted to climate in order to survive. they cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. in the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. others, such as bears, are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. ocean-dwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changes---in this case temperature and salinity---as land animals. reef corals can survive only in clear warm seawater. certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment that their presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature. human beings are among the least specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. their clothes andtheir homes act as a sort of “miniature climate” that can be taken with them everywhere.(words: 223)51. according to the passage, plants on the tundra grow close to the ground_________.a. to avoid being eaten by arctic animalsb. because fertilizer is not readily availablec. to minimize exposure to the coldd. because unfrozen water supplies are very scarce52. according to the passage, which of the following can be found in the greatest number of different climate areas on earth?a. reef coralsb. penguinsc. bearsd. camels53. it can be inferred from the passage foraminifers are a____________.a. kind of weather patternb. form of sea lifec. species of tundra plantd. type of miniature penguin54. according to the passage, human beings can survive almost everywhere on earth because_____.a. they have developed advanced forms of transportationb. they have learned how to process seawater for drinkingc. their body temperature can vary considerablyd. their shelters and clothing help them to adapt to the environment55. according to the passage, animals were influenced by_______ despite their ability to move about and find shelter.a. climateb. territoryc. soild. human beingspassage 2psychiatric (精神病学的) tests show that a well-balanced person gets much angrier when provoked than an abnormal person does. at the new york state psychiatric institute, dr. james page and professor of psychology carney landis of columbiauniversity studied the reaction of 200 normals and 210 abnormals. they tested their reactions to maddening situations of every type and variety, such as: being laughed at and ridiculed, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver, being told to “shut up” and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game, etc. in almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.“this,” they reported, “is in accord with other p sychiatric findings. for one of the outstanding symptoms of mental unbalance is an emotional apathy.” so if you blow your top when you bang your skin against a piece of furniture, or when your sweetheart goes out with another guy—don’t worry about it. it’s just a sign that you are normal.(words: 191)56. this passage deals mainly with the ______.a. similarity to previous psychiatric studies of new york state psychological institute’s findings concerning anger reactionsb. absence of apathy in normalsc. level of intensity in anger reactions registered by normals versus abnormalsd. frequency of anger reactions registered by normals versus abnormals57. what is the main idea of this passage?a. anger is a universal phenomenon among humans.b. psychiatric tests proved that a person who gets angry is well-balanced.c. normal persons are apt to get angry much more easily than abnormals.d. normal persons react more intensely to anger-provoking situations than do abnormal individuals.58. the author recommends that, if you tend to become angry, you should ______.a. treat it as a normal reactionb. not worry about what has made you angryc. try to control your angerd. become concerned59. the word “apathy” in this passage most probably means______.a. need for affectionb. lack of feelingc. undue sensitivityd. anger60. the phrase “blow your top” in this passage most probably means ______.a. get very angryb. become indifferentc. keep your temperd. react positivelypassage 3thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and, more recently, rubber and plastic. and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. in the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.the tool is the laser and it is being used by more and moresurgeons all over the world, for a very large number of different complaints. the word laser means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. as we all know, light is hot; any source of light — from the sun itself down to a humble match burning — will give warmth. but light is usually spread out over a wide area. the light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. this means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam. experiments with these pinpoint beams have shown researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. it is nowpossible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of the human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eyeball. no knives, no stitches, no unwanted damage— a true surgical wonder.operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long periods of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. so much more difficult operations can now be tried.the rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but more effective. altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.

Reading Comprehension (25%)Directions: Read the following passages and choose the corresponding answer. Passage 1Female employees consistently pay lower airfares than men do for the same flights because they tend to book earlier.We compared the airfare paid by employees in the same position within a company for the same class of travel and used a common statistical technique to account for other factors that might affect differences in airfares. We found that women paid on average $18 less per ticket than their male colleagues. Further investigation allowed us to conclude that this gap is largely explained by the fact that women tended to book earlier than men, 1.8 days on average.We wanted to determine what was causing these gender differences in booking business trips so we tested a variety of possible explanations, such as women choosing to plan ahead or male frequent travelers being inclined to book late. None of these explained away the gender gap, so we applied data collected from surveys that express consumer preferences that play a central role in economic decisions, such as patience and risk avoidance.We found that only the concept of "negative reciprocity"-in which an employee who feels unfairly treated engages in negative behaviors, such as spending their company's money less carefully- explains these differences. The surveys showed men tend to exhibit more of these negative behaviors than women.This isn't to say that all men engage in these behaviors-or that booking relatively late is a sign of abnormal behavior. It only means that the gender gap disappears when we plug in the negativereciprocity variable.Prior research on negative reciprocity among workers found that it can result in lower employee motivation, business performances and workplace morale (士气) and culture.Our results show another way these negative behaviors can manifest themselves, like in airline bookings, and add to evidence that women are less likely to engage in them.Companies spend significant sums of money on business travel. While that $18 difference per ticket may seem small, it adds up. Our analysis suggests early booking by women can translate into savings of $1 million a year for a large multinational company with 20,000 regular travelers.1.What did the author's team conclude about the gender difference in airfares from their further investigation?A.It is largely attributed to women booking earlier than men.B.It is largely explained by women's choosing cheaper flights.C.It is mainly accounted for by male employees' readiness to pay more.D.It is due to the fact that women care more about their company's money.2.What did the researchers want to determine by testing a variety of possible explanations?A.What made male frequent travelers book air tickets late.B.What caused women to plan ahead in booking business trips.C.What motivated women to book cheaper flights.D.What accounted for the gender gap in airfares.3.What happened when the negative reciprocity variable was taken into account?A.Both men and women were found to engage in negative behaviors.B.Neither men nor women viewed booking late as a bad behavior.C.The gender difference in airfare expenses no longer existed.D, The gender gap tended to narrow to a significant degree.4.What did prior research on negative reciprocity among workers find?A.It can do more harm to the workplace than to employees.B.It contributes to the male-female divide in the workplace.C.It proves to be counterproductive in a number of ways.D.It can result in increasing labor-management conflicts.5.What does the author emphasize about their analysis in the last paragraph?A.It can help companies increase their savings significantly.B.It can duly contribute to companies’ business performance.C.It can translate women's booking practice into men's behavior.D.It can enhance large multinational companies' competitiveness.Passage 2Daniel waved at his mother who was watching from the kitchen window. She waved back. He was having fun tossing his new football into the air and catching it again. Suddenly, he saw the neighbor’s gray cat crawl along the top of the wooden fence that divided his backyard from the neighbor’s.“You mean old cat!” Daniel shouted. Daniel didn’t like that cat. He had tried to pet it once and got a big scratch. The cat yawned and then scratched the top of the fence. Tiny pieces of wood floated down to the grass. “Stop wrecking my daddy’s fence!” Daniel demanded. He took the football and threw it with all his might. At the last possible instant, the cat jumped out of the way. The ball flew over the fence, passing right where the cat had been.Then he heard a SMASH! “Oh, no!” he groaned. Daniel crept toward the fence and peeked through a crack. He saw his football lying by the wall of his neighbor’s house. And right beside it was a big blue flowerpot cracked on one side. “Oh, no!” Daniel moaned, “What am I going to do?”Daniel walked around to the gate. “I should ask for permission to go into our neighbor’s yard,” he thought. “But then Mom will find out about the bad thing I’ve done. “He didn’t want that to happen. Instead, he checked the latch. It wasn’t locked. Opening the gate, Daniel walked inside. He ran toward his football and quickly picked it up. Staring at the broken flowerpot, he wondered what to do. “Whatever l do, I’dbetter hurry,” he thought. “l shouldn't be here.”Daniel stuffed the pieces of pottery into the pocket of his sweat shirt. “This is really bad,” he mumbled. Grabbing the flowerpot with both hands, he spun it around until the broken spot faced the wall. He smiled. The bad thing was hard to see. “Now I’ve got to hide the pieces,” he thought. Closing the gate behind him, Daniel searched for a place to hide the broken pieces.“Daniel, where have you been?” Mom asked as she headed up the sidewalk. Daniel wanted to say that he’d been playing in the front yard. He wanted to lie. But that would be another bad thing. He remembered all the bad things he had done: throwing the ball at the cat, smashing the flowerpot, going into the neighbor’s yard without permission. He suddenly realized his fourth bad thing: trying to hide the broken flowerpot.And now Daniel wanted to hide all his bad things with a big lie. No, that would be really bad, he decided. “Mom, would you still love me, even if l told you some bad things I've done?” he asked. His mother smiled and said, “Of course, Daniel!” She knelt beside him so that she could listen better. Daniel took a deep breath and pulled a handful of pottery out of his pocket. Mom could see the broken pieces, but that was okay because telling the truth was easier than telling a lie.6. Before seeing the neighbor’s cat, Daniel was having fun .A. waving at his motherB. tossing his football at the catC. watching his mother from the kitchen windowD. throwing his football into the air and catching it again7. Daniel threw his football at the cat with .A. all his strengthB. all his effortC. all his courageD. all his anger8. What did Daniel do after he broke the neighbor’s flowerpot?A.

Building Solid FoundationsWhen it comes to the construction (建造) of a building, few people would argue about the importance of establishing a strong foundation. It's not different in building a business, a family, or a life.In 2000, we watched the failure of many Internet-based companies. One of the reasons for this is that these companies were built without solid foundations. A company needs more than just money and material to satisfy its basic needs; it also requires a firm base from which to build.The emphasis (重点) today is on instant satisfaction. But if we want to build something of value, something that will last, we must build a foundation that will support our goal. It takes effort and it takes conviction, but the rewards are worth it.Keep Your Eyes on What You're BuildingThere was once a man passing by a construction site. He stopped and asked one of the tradesmen what he was doing. The worker replied simply, "I'm laying bricks(砖), can't you see that?" The man watched a while longer and then asked another worker what he was doing. "I'm just earning a living," he replied. A third time the man asked a worker and the response was much different, "I'm building a beautiful church."No doubt the personal happiness and the quality of the work from the last man was much better than from the first two.And what about us? Are we just collecting a pay check, doing hard dull work — laying bricks? Or are we building churches?By staying focused on what we're building and seeing the task at hand as accomplishing that purpose, we'll gain greater satisfaction, our work will be lighter, and we'll create more excellence.Foundations Take TimeI recently watched a building being built. (I must admit I was tempted to ask some of the workers what they were doing.) For months, there seemed to be little progress. There was plenty of dust, lots of activity, but very few signs that anything was really happening.That's because they were building the foundation—the foundation to support a great structure. And that takes time.The engineers, the head builders, and the owner certainly weren't standing around saying, "Where's the building? Why can't I seemore progress?" They knew that a majority of the time to construct the building would be spent in laying the groundwork.Once the foundation is ready, the rest of the construction happens at fast speed. Even mistakes made in the superstructure (上层建筑) can be corrected without too much difficulty. But faults in the foundation CANNOT be easily repaired and will threaten the entire structure.And why should what we build be any different? We need to put strong foundations under our dreams, our businesses, and our relationships. I believe that this is where many people struggle.

Although Beethoven could sit down and compose easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work and he always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his ears. As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any composer to bear. Beethoven was without hope; he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside where he wrote a long good-bye letter to his brothers, describing how sad and lonely his deafnessmade him. He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will; I shall meet you bravely."In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote more and more faintly. He wrote the music for which we remember him best after he became deaf. This music was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the artistic and beautiful music that earlier composers had written for their rich listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous (勇敢的) life. His Heroic (英雄的) Symphony (交响乐) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could "hear" his music in his mind. He was lonely and often unhappy but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music, such as his last symphony, the Ninth. Because of his courage and strong will to triumph, his music has given joy and encouragement to millions of people.1.How did Beethoven's deafness affect him?A. It killed him.B. It stopped his writing music.C. It drove him mad.D. It helped him create great music.2.Which of the following music works written by Beethoven wasjoyful?A. No. 9 Symphony.B. No. 7 Symphony.C.

Music and SymphonyB. Hard to SatisfyC. The Music of FateD. Deafness in Music.5.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. When he was partly deaf, Beethoven's music becamemore and more gentle.B. His music became more and more artistic although he wasdeaf.C. He wrote fainter and fainter music after he went deaf.D. He composed exciting and encouraging music thatreflected his struggle with his fate.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Culture shock might be called an expected disease of people who have suddenly moved to some foreign countries. Like most diseases, it has its own symptoms and cure.Culture shock is started by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and sights of social activities. Those signs or cues (提示) include the thousand and one ways in which we find our place in the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, which may be words, gestures, expressions with the face, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and are as much a part of our culture as the languagewe speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundreds of these cues, most of which we do not carry on the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a number of supports have been knocked out from under you followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People respond to the frustration in much the same way. First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort. "The ways of the host country are bad because they make me feel bad." When foreigners in a strange land get together to complain about the host country and its people, you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Another stage of culture shock is regression. The home country suddenly assumes a great importance. To the foreigner everything becomes much greater than it really is. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. It usually takes a trip home to bring one back to reality.6.According to the passage, culture shock is_________________.A. an expected disease of foreign peopleB. may lead to very serious symptomsC. actually not a diseaseD. something that can't be changed7.According to the passage, culture shock results from________________.A. the sudden loss of our own signs and sights of socialactivitiesB. the sudden change of our daily habitsC. the sudden change of the social situation and customsD. the discomfort that we feel when faced with a foreigner8.Which one of the following may NOT be the symptoms ofculture shock?A. You don't know how to express your thanks.B. You don't know how to greet other people.C. You suddenly forget what a word means.D. You don't understand why a foreigner acts in a certainway.9.How would a person who stays abroad most probably actwhen he is frustrated by the culture shock according to thepassage?A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strangeenvironment at first.B. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.C. He is ready to accept the change and change himself tothe new environment.D. Although he takes the cultural differences to be regular, hestill doesn't know what to do with them.10.This passage is most likely taken from ______________.A. a news reportB. a grammar bookC. a book on medicine and psychologyD. an essay on human customs答案图例：Right Wrong To be marked by instructorPart 1 Vocabulary and Structure (每小题: 1 分; 满分：15 分)(In the case of True/False type of questions, A stands for True and B for False, or A for Y, B for N and C for NG.)小题得分对错学生答案Correct1. 1 D D2. 1 B BCABBCDABCADCAentirely convention significance principles customsexist absolute assessthose practice increasingly consciousness used to be difference individual's communities weightSometurnconductingABCDABCthe entire structure careful planning support your effectsacuteinclined competentemailenhanceinsistprobe contemporary sparecapitalD A B C D A A C B D。

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: Read the following passage(s); carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Text 1Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Directory assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the worker when you can swipe (刷卡) your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store.

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly accurately without thinking. Tennis players call that "being in the zone." Educators call it "automatically."A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found autom atic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others; and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary."It's not I. Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to autom aticity, " according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity.At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud - som ething unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.35. The first paragraph tells us ________.A) what automaticity isB) how accuracy is acquiredC) how a child learns to walkD) how an athlete is trained36. An automatic reader _______.A) sounds out the lettersB) concentrates on meaningC) has a high I.Q.D) pays much attention to the structures of sentences37.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggestedanswers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer toeach question.Passage 1In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yes, when one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him andnoticed that many people do things to keep up with their neighbors; they try to look as rich and as successful as their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping Up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping Up with the Joneses”cam e to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.That is one reason why they read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat in the “right” restaurants.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.16. Why, according to the passage, do many people try to keep up withthe JonesesA. Because they want to be as rich as their neighbors.B. Because they feel proud to be taken for the Joneses.C. Because they want others to know or think they are rich.D. Because they are afraid that others will know they are rich.17. Why did Arthur Momand use the name “Jones” in his storiesA. Because many rich people in the U. S. are named Jones.B. Because few rich people in the U. S. are named Jones.C. Because the name sounds funny and impressive.D. Because there are many people in the U. S. whose familyname is Jones.18. What does the author refe r to when he says the “right” booksA. Books that other people around are reading.B. Books that teach people how to get rich and successful.C. Books by famous and successful writers.D. Very expensive books.19. What does the author mean by “Mr. Jon es always seems to be ahead”A. It seems Mr. Jones is always walking ahead of others.B. It seems one can never keep up with all people around.C. It seems Mr. Jones is a very rich man.D. It seems one has to work very hard to get rich.20. What is th e author’s opinionA. It is funny to try to keep up with the Joneses.B. It is necessary to keep up with the Joneses.C. It is hard to keep up with the people around you.D. It is senseless to try to keep up with the people around you.Passage 2The human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar. They both use the two sides of their brains. It is well-known that Albert Einstein (1879–1955), as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing theviolin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer’s day while sitting on a hill. He imagined he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve. He got this idea by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional, established education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinkingIn fact, we all need both sides of our brains. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.21. According to the passage, the left side of the brain ________.A) controls language and numberB) controls our imaginationC) daydreamsD) controls our sense of rhythm22. What does the author want to show by using the example of EinsteinA) Great scientists are also great artists.B) The left side of Einstein’s brain is very powerful.C) Einstein is a genius whose two sides of the brain are strong.D) The two sides of the brain are equally important.23. What do we learn about Einstein from the passageA) He could play the violin well.B) He said his scientific discoveries are acquired by analysisrather than by daydreaming.C) He was the first person to discover the track of the sun.D) He was disgusted at language.24. What does the author mean by saying “we are encouraged to hopwhen we have two perfectly good legs” (Para. 4)A)We needn’t hop because we are hea lthy.B)Only those who have something wrong in their legs can beencouraged to hop.C)It’s foolish of us to hop when we have two perfectly good legs.D)We should use both sides of the brain.25. The author believes that the right side of our brain is asimportant as the left side because ________.A) it controls our appreciation of music and sense of rhythmB) it enables us to make scientific discoveriesC) it is more important to analyze and organize in order to surviveD) the imaginations may provide solutions to problems and enableus to enjoy emotional and artistic experiencesPassage 3Do parents owe their children anything Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem (自尊心) is the basis of a good mental health. A youngster, who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and become so afraid of failing, that he (or she) won’t try at all. Of course, they sh ould be corrected when they do wrong; this is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced with praises.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes (刹车). The parent who says “No”when other parents say “Yes” sends a double message. He is also saying: “I love you, and I am ready torisk your anger, be cause I don’t t want you to get into trouble”.Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets. If a mother feels t hat she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents own their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees hisparents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have a difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.26. According to the passage, parents owe their children the followingthings except .A. carsB. privacyC. respect of selfD. information about their body27. The writer thinks that teenagers are frightened when they are incharge of themselves because ________________________________.A. they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB. there is no one to guide and discipline themC. they are afraid of being left aloneD. there is no one to ask for help when in trouble28. Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show loveto their childrenA. Saying “Yes” to everything the children ask for.B. Never embracing older children.C. Refusing something to their children.D. Never criticizing children.29. The word “due” in the last paragraph means __________A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanation(s) or plan(s)C. what must be given to someone because it is right or owingD. the money to be paid30. Which of the following statements is true according to the passageA. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their ownlives at an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys theirself-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to his brighter brothersbecause it makes him try harder.Passage 4In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If theyhad a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at thescheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.31. The American professor studied the Brazilian students’behaviorbecause ______________________________________.A. he felt angry at the stu dents’ rudenessB. he felt puzzled at the students’ being lateC. he wanted to collect data for his researchD. he wanted to make students come on time later32.

American students will become impatient if their friend is tenminutes late. C. Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.D.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits. Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t invest some quality time now in ta king a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. Y ou have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you sho uld leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—it’s important that you take some time now to make it clear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker, people should ________.A. leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB. head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC. seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD. have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37. What does the word “incredible” (Para. 2) probably mean in th e passage?A. Marvelous.B. Impossible.C. Unusual.D. Unnecessary.38. According to the passage, if one person is not willing to live without love, passion, tenderness and so on, he must ________.A. leave the current relationshipB. take an honest look at his situationC. spend time experiencing an incredible relationshipD. take the first step to create that kind of relationship39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If one starts to wonder about the current relationship, it is time to end it.B. Making the decision about one’s relationship needs careful insight.C. A relationship that brings you pain is not necessarily a bad one.D. Life is too short for people to find true love.40. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. persuade people to find a better relationshipB. ask people to invest quality time in their relationshipsC. give people some advice on how to stay in or leave their relationshipsD. advise people how to have a relationship with love, passion and so onSection BDirections: In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Another danger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42.
