I think thirty dollars per month is no small amount of money for a student.To be honest, I don’t need to use a cell phone because I don’t have any urgent business, but all my family and friends have cell phones. More than fifty percent of the population in Korea（韩国）has a cell phone. Think about that number: only children and very old people don’t have one.If I didn’t have a cell phone, everybody would raise such a question, “Why doesn’t she have one?” I would be considered as a strange and independent person. Korea has agroup-oriented culture, so a strange and independent p erson isn’t welcome. I don’t want to be strange, so I cannot do anything but use a cell phone.I have to check my cell phone all the time, and I have to change the battery every other day. It is kind of a big problem. Even though I don’t want to answer the phone at all, I have to answer it because as long as I have a cell phone, a quick answer is etiquette（礼节）. It has really invaded（影响）my life. I have never thought cell phones are useful and meaningful devices. I hate them because I am a person who likes to lead a peaceful, calm life. I wish I could get rid of my cell phone in the near future.Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices.6.

The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine, but there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives bydashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.26. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.27. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.28. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.29. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game30. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who fi rst started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn’t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane.They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.31. When do most Americans feel they are poor?A. When th ey don’t have a car.B. When they live in a huge country.C. When they don’t use planes.D. When they have a car.32. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.33. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.34. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.35. Which of the following is not mentioned according to this passage?A. Cars have made the nation on wheels.B. Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.C. Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.D. Cars have made American independent.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The children liked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added much to the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.36. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.37. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.38. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.39. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.40. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C. He made the game win.D.

A),B),C)or D).You should make the correct choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.Nowadays,cities are becoming more and more densely populated.Some pessimists are deeply worried about the serious problems posed by the huge populations.They believe that the public services are already overloaded and near the verge of collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists, however,see the current problems as merely part of an evolutionary process.They arguethat London and New York had similar problems but were able eventually to establish an orderly and safe environment for their citizens.It seems that people become the controversial factor here.Either they themselves as inhabitants cause inconvenience toeach other,or they participate together in city developing plans and contribute effortsto facilitate city life.Human elements are therefore the core for determining the futureof big cities.51.According to the passage,____________poses the most serious problem.A)pollutionB)noiseC)populationD)traffic jam52.If the pessimists are to give examples,____________serves as the best one.A)TokyoB)SingaporeC)Mexico CityD)Sydney53."Controversial"has the similar

the work they do.D)Each group does a different job or set of jobs.E)People working in some of the departments may never see the finished toy they have helped to make.F)Because of this specialisation,one person can't make a complete toy by himself.56.()57.()58.()59.()60.()Task3Directions:Read the given passage carefully.Then answer the questions following it in as few words as possible,that is,no more than10words.Remember to writeyour answers in the corresponding space(61through65)on the Answer Sheet.The ideal(理想)culture is the culture that the members of a society think they have;the real culture is the culture they actually have.In all societies there is a differencebetween the two.If an American citizen were asked to tell a visitor from a foreign land something

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You are required to go over the passages quickly and decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 41to 45 are based on the following passage:As you walk along the street in any American city, you see many different faces. You see oriental faces, black faces, and white faces. These are the faces of the United States, a country of immigrants from all over the world. Immigrants are people who leave one country to live permanently in another country.The first immigrants came to North America in the 1600s from northern European countries such as England and Holland. These people generally had light skin and light hair. They came to live in North America because they wanted religious freedom. In the 1700s and early 1800s immigrants continued to move from Europe to the United States. At this time there was one group of unwilling immigrants, black Africans. These people were tricked or forced to come to the United States, where they worked onthe large farms in the south. The blacks had no freedom; they were slaves. In the 1800s many Chinese and Irish immigrants came to the United States. They came because of economic or political problems in their countries. The most recent immigrants to the United States, the Indochinese, Cubans, and Central Americans also came because of economic or political problems in their own countries. Except for the blacks, most of these immigrants thought of the United States as a land of opportunity, of a chance for freedom and new lives.In the United States, these immigrants looked for help from other immigrants who shared the same background, language, and religion. Therefore, there are neighborhoods in each U. S. city made up almost entirely of one ethnic or racial group. There are all Italian, all Puerto Rican, or all Irish neighborhoods in many East Coast cities and all Mexican neighborhoods in the Southwest.In Dearborn, Michigan, there is a large group of Lebanese. There are racial neighborhoods such as oriental Chinatown in San Francisco and black Harlem in New York. There are also neighborhoods with a strong religious feeling such as a Jewish part of Brooklyn in New York. And, of course, there are economic neighborhood divisions; in American cities very often poor people do not live in the same neighborhoods as rich people.This wide variety of neighborhoods in the cities is a reflection of the different groups in American society. American society is a mixture of racial, language, cultural, religious, and economic groups. People sometimes call America a melting pot and compare its society to a soup with many different ingredients. The ingredients (different races, cultures, religions, and economic groups) supposedly mix together to make a smooth soup. But, in reality, there are a few lumps left in the soup.41.The earliest immigrants came to North America because____.A)they wanted to have freedom in their religious beliefsB)they were poor people in their own countriesC)they wanted to work on the large farms in the U.S.D)they were tired of the political problems in their own countries42.The black Africans came to the United States because___.a)they wanted to gain political freedomb)they thought of the United States as a land of opportunityc)they wanted to live a new lifed)they were tricked or forced to go there43.One of the reasons why immigrants to the U.S. formed racial neighborhoods is that they___.A) had the same problems B) shared the same political viewsC) worked in the same places D) spoke the same language44.Jewish immigrants to the U.S. are most likely to be found in ___.A) Dearborn, Michigan B) Chinatown, San FranciscoC) Brooklyn, New York D) Harlem, New York45.The sentence “there are a few lumps left in the soup” implies that___.a)some immigrants are poor; some are richb)the immigrants didn’t get along with their neighborsc)different ethnic groups have kept their separate identitiesd)people of different cultures enjoy their life in the U.S.Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Some desert animals can survive the summer heat and dryness because they are very unusual. The camel, for example,can experience and bear an increase in the temperature of its body and its blood of 9oC without anything bad happening to it. In addition, it can drink a lot of water at one time; then store enough water in parts of its body to supply its needs for two weeks or more. The kangaroo rat, on the other hand, gets all the water it needs from water that it produces when it breathes. However, most animals need to maintain a fairly constant body temperature, and will die if it rises more than 5oC. Therefore, they need to find some way to stay away from the heat of the summer sun. Nor can many animals either store or produce water in their bodies, as the camel and kangaroo rat can. So they must find ways to keep their bodies from losing water because of the heat. Because very few desert animals can survive the high temperature of a typical summer’s day, most of them are active only in the night. Only after the sun has set does the desert come fully to life. The night is relatively cool, and the darkness provides protection, not only from the sun, but also from other animals and from the birds. So the coming of darkness is the signal for the large majority of animals and insects to start again their search for water and food. When morning comes, most of them seek shelter again: many go underground; nearly all find some dark and cool place where they can keep away from the sun’s heat.For many species of insects, living in the desert is easier than for animals. Like many desert plants, they have a waterproof skin which prevents water loss because of the high temperature. In addition, some species spend all or most of life below ground. Here, for most of the year at least, there is some moisture, and it is generally cooler than on the surface. In the case of ants, only adults leave the underground nests, and they do so only togather food or to defend the nest against attack./doc/799610349.html,pared with other desert animals, the camel can bear___.A) a very low body temperature B) only a little change in body temperatureC) a big increase in body temperature D) a constant change in body temperature47.The kangaroo rat is different from other animals in that___.A) it can produce water through breathing B) it can store water in parts of its bodyC) it can maintain different body temperatures D) it can drinka lot of water at a time48. Why is the desert full of activity in summer nights? ___.A)Because it is cooler and safer for most animals.B)Because animals can find food in the dark.C)Because it is easy to find water at night.D)Because animals cannot sleep at night.49. Why is it easy for many species of insects to live in the desert? ___.A)Because it is not difficult for them to survive there.B)Because they are not afraid of the heat.C)Because it is not difficult for them to find food there.D)Because they have a waterproof skin.50. Most insects live below the ground because ___.A) it is easy for them to build nests there B) it is easy to find water thereC) it is cooler there than on the surfaces D) it is easier to build nests therePassage threeQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:People who have to fly all the time for business usually find it boring. People who fly only once in a while are excited. However, some people feel only terror when they board an airplane. They suffer from a phobia, an illogical fear.If you are afraid of poisonous spiders, this is logical. If you are afraid of all spiders, even harmless ones, this is a phobia because it is illogical. Some people have phobias about heights, being shut up in a small area, or being in a large open area. It is not logical to be afraid of these things when there is no danger, but a phobia is not logical.Fear of flying is another phobia. We always hear about a plane crash, but we don’t hear a bout millions of flights every year that are safe. Riding in a car is thirty times more dangerous than flying, but most of us are not afraid every time we get into a car. It is not logical to be afraid of flying, but research shows that about 12 percent of people have this fear.People with this phobia about flying are afraid for one or more of these reasons. They are afraid of heights. They might be afraid of being in an enclosed place like an elevator or a tunnel on a highway. Maybe they are afraid of the crowds and all the noise and people rushing around at an airport. Some people are afraid of the unknown. They don’t understand the technology of flying and can’t believe that a huge airplane can stay up in the air. Others are afraid of loss of control. They need to control every situation they are in.For some people, a fear of flying is not important because they don’t really need to fly. But what about the people who have to fly if they want to continue in their professions?51. A phobia is________.A)harmful B) illogical C) chemical D) physical52. Fear of flying is called a kind of phobia because_________.A)there is no danger in flyingB)people with phobia are actually afraid of other things rather than flyingC)flying is much safer than riding in a carD)people would become mad when flying53. According to the passage, riding in a car is _________ than flying.A)more comfortableB)more convenientC)more dangerousD)easier54. People are afraid of flying because all of the following EXCEPT________.A)they are afraid of heightsB)they might be afraid of being shut in an enclosed placeC)t hey are afraid of things they don’t kno wD)they are afraid of meeting strange people55. What is the passage probably going to talk about in the following part?A)How can people overcome a fear of flying?B)How can people avoid flying?C)Why is it important for some people having a flying phobia?D)Why are people afraid of flying?Passage fourQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Believe it or not, optical illusion（错觉）can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Nowthe American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. T o help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest ------ curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.56. The passage mainly discusses_______.A) a new way of highway speed controlB) a new pattern for painting highwaysC) a new approach to training driversD) a new type of optical illusion57. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that_______.A) they could avoid speed-related hazardsB) they are driving in the wrong laneC) they should slow down their speedD) they are approaching the speed limit58. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former_______.A) can keep drivers awakeB) can cut road accidents in halfC) will have a longer effect on driversD) will look more attractive59. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety Plans to_______.A) try out the Japanese method in certain areasB) change the road signs across the countryC) replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD) repeat the Japanese road patterns60. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A) They are falling out of use in the United States.B) They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C) They are applicable only on broad roads.D) They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.Part IV Cloze 10%Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

I think thirty dollars per month is no small amount of money for a student.To be honest, I don’t need to use a cell phone because I don’t have any urgent business, but all my family and friends have cell phones. More than fifty percent of the population in Korea（韩国）has a cell phone. Think about that number: only children and very old people don’t have one.If I didn’t have a cell phone, everybody would raise such a question, “Why doesn’t she have one?” I would be considered as a strange and independent person. Korea has agroup-oriented culture, so a strange and independent p erson isn’t welcome. I don’t want to be strange, so I cannot do anything but use a cell phone.I have to check my cell phone all the time, and I have to change the battery every other day. It is kind of a big problem. Even though I don’t want to answer the phone at all, I have to answer it because as long as I have a cell phone, a quick answer is etiquette（礼节）. It has really invaded（影响）my life. I have never thought cell phones are useful and meaningful devices. I hate them because I am a person who likes to lead a peaceful, calm life. I wish I could get rid of my cell phone in the near future.Directions: Choose the best answer from the four choices.6. The author has a cell phone just because ___________.A. she deal with businessB. she has to talk with friendsC. several people have oneD. most of the people have one7.

Actually,Father Christmas is children‘s father.He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep.Then he goes into children’s bedrooms,and puts small presents in their stockings. When children are no longer young,they know who Father Christmas really is.Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings.They also have stockings.Early on the morning of Christmas Day,children wake their parents up and say“Merry Christmas”.

班级姓名分数I.CAREFUL READINGRead the following passages carefully.Decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points,2points each)Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage.The average population density of the world is47persons per square mile.Continental densities range from no permanent inhabitants in Antarctica to211per square mile in Europe.In the western hemisphere,population densities range from4per square mile in Canada to675per square mile in Puerto Rico.In Europe the range is from4per square mile in Iceland to831per square mile in the Netherlands.Within countries there are wide variations of population densities.For example，in Egypt，the average is55persons per square mile,but1,300persons inhabit each square mile in settled portions where the land is arable(可耕种的).High population densities generally occur in regions of developed industrialization,such as the Netherlands,Belgium, and Great Britain,or where lands are intensively used for agriculture,as in Puerto Rico and Java.Low average population densities，which are characteristic of most underdeveloped countries,are generally associated with a relatively low percentage of cultivated land.This generally results from poor quality lands.It may also be due to natural obstacles to cultivation,such as deserts,mountains or malaria-infested jungles;to land uses other than cultivation,as pasture and forested land;to primitive methods that limit cultivation;to social obstacles;and to land ownership systems which keep land out of production.More economically advanced countries of low population density have,as a rule,large proportions of their populations living in urban areas.Their rural population densities are usually very low.Poorer developed countries of correspondingly low general population density,on the other hand,often have a concentration of rural population living on arable land,which is as great as the rural concentration found in the most densely populated industrial countries.1.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.World PopulationB.Population DensitiesC.Population MigrationD.Economics and Population2.In the cultivated areas of Egypt,we may expect to find_____.A.few inhabitantsB.densely populated settlementsC.l,300persons living in one settlementD.55persons inhabiting one square mile3.The most densely populated community in Europe is_____.A.IcelandB.BelgiumC.the NetherlandsD.Great Britain4.This passage indicates that Puerto Rico is_____.A.agriculture-orientedB.malaria-infestedC.highly industrializedD.poverty-stricken5.This passage has probably been taken from a/an_____.A.tourist guideB.business journalC.world geography bookD.economic reportPassage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage.Engaging in a hobby like reading a book,making a patchwork quilt or even playing computer games can delay the onset of dementia,a US study suggests.Watching TV,however,does not count—and indeed,spending significant periods of time in front of the box may speed up memory loss,researchers found.Nearly200people aged70to89with mild memory problems were compared with a group who had no impairment.The researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota asked the volunteers about their daily activities within the past year and how mentally active they had been between the age of50 to65.Those who had?during middle age,been busy reading,playing games or engaging in craft hobbies like patchworking or knitting were found to have a40%reduced risk of memory impairment.In later life，those same activities reduced the risk by a rate between30%and50%.Those who watched TV for less than7hours a day were also50%less likely to develop memory loss than those who spend longer staring at the screen.“This study is exciting because it demonstrates that ageing does not need to be a passive process，”said neuroscientist Dr.Yonas Geda.“By simply engaging in cognitive exercise,you can protect against future memory loss.Of course,the challenge with this type of research is that we are relying on past memories of the subjects(实验对象)，therefore we need to confirm these findings with additional research.”Sarah Day，head of public health at the Alzheimer’s Society，said，“One million people will develop dementia in the next10years so there is a desperate need to find ways to prevent dementia.Exercising and challenging your brain~by learning new skills,doing puzzles such as crosswords,and even learning a new language—can be fun.However,more research,where people are followed up over time,is needed to understand whether these sorts of activities can reduce the risk of dementia.”6.If one suffers from dementia,he would be unable to_____.A.move his limbsB.speak correctlyC.recall past eventsD.sit in upright posture7.The subjects of the research mentioned in the passage were_____.A.people watching TV programs several hours a dayB.the middle-aged with lots of daily mental activitiesC.people actively engaged in their hobbies at an early ageD.two groups of seniors either with or without memory problems8.It was found in the research that_____.A.cognitive exercise helps people prevent future memory lossB.cure for dementia will soon be available in10years or soC.mentally challenging hobbies usually lead to mental fatigueD.nothing can deter the gradual loss of memory9.The research was based on the data of the_____.A.brain makeup of the subjectsB.past memories of the subjectses of language of the subjectsD.physical exercises of the subjects10.More research should be conducted in which.A.people of different age groups should be investigatedB.the relationship between dementia and genes will be investigatedC.more subjects will be included so as to verify the current findingsD.effects of cognitive exercise on subjects should be traced over timePassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage.The complex topic“social class”is difficult to avoid when discussing British society，which is often seen as a society in which“social class”is more important than in other countries.This is true to a certain extent,but should probably not be exaggerated.Most countries have some kind of class structure.There exist broad groups within society which share types of employment,income levels,and certain cultural characteristics.But important in the idea of“class”is that it makes a difference to an individual’s“life-chances”which group or class he or she is bom into.So if a middle-class couple,perhaps a doctor and a teacher,have a child,it is more likely that that child will also acquire middle-class education,employment and income levels than will the child of working-class factory workers.This is certainly the case in the UK,though it should be stressed that it is far from impossible for the working-class child to acquire middle-class status:it is simply statistically much more unlikely than for his middle-class school-friend.If asked,about half the British population would describe themselves as middle-class,and half as working-class. Employment would be the main guide they would use:manual(or“blue-collar”）workers would usually call themselves working-class，and office(or“white-collar”）workers would usually call themselves middle-class.However,there is a hazyarea around unskilled office-work and skilled well-paid manual work which leads to sub-divisions such as“lower middle class”being used;and the term“upper middle class”might be used to describe doctors and lawyers and so on who have relatively high incomes and high status professions—especially in families with long traditions of such employment.This would differentiate them from the majority of middle-class people today,most of whom have working-class parents or grandparents.This reflects the huge expansion of the middle class over the twentieth century，and especially since1945, when more equal social policies were adopted by the government.11.The author discusses British society from the perspective of_____.cationB.social classC.employmentD.income levels12.“Class”is important because it____.A.determines an individual’s personalityB.makes a difference to an individual’s marriageC.makes a difference to the opportunities available to an individualD.gives an individual equal chances for education and employment13.The British would distinguish their social classes mainly by____.A.employmentB.income levelsC.family traditionscation backgrounds14.British doctors and lawyers belong to the____.A.upper middle classB.lower middle classC.upper classD.working class15.The middle-class expanded considerably over the twentieth century mainly because____.A.the British earned more money than beforeB.more people received higher education than beforeC.the number of doctors and lawyers increased sharplyD.the British government introduced more equal social policiesPassage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage.“But I can’t save any money.”It’s an excuse I hear a lot from which I detect a note of defiance.In the past few years,it has become increasingly frequent,as more and more Americans make less than we spend,eating up the savings in our homes. The national savings rate is declining.And the situation seems to be getting worse.We certainly know that saving money is good for us.Yet saving for tomorrow is still a largely ignored and unappreciated skill.The question that naturally follows is:Why?Why don’t Americans make saving a priority?To start with,saving today is much harder.The typical household income has held largely steady for a good half decade,while prices have continued to rise.If you’re having to spend a disproportionate amount of income on food and gas,it’s hard to save.Besides,credit became too accessible.For years it was simply too easy to get your hands on money to spend.While banks at one time would not let you spend more than36percent of your total income on debt,they stretched that number to 55percent during the housing boom.Why save when you could get that big flat-screen TV today and pay for it with mortgage debt that was both cheap and deductible?Last but not least,saving is,was,and always will be no fun.Think about it this way:Choosing to save almost always means opting for delayed gratification instead of immediate gratification.The pleasure of getting something good today is much greater than that in the future—even if the reward in the future is bigger.Recently,neuroeconomists,a relatively new breed of experts in economics and neuroscience，have started using MRIs (核磁共振成像）to view the brain as it is making money choices.When something we want to buy comes into view,they see the pleasure center firing up.Similarly,getting a few dollars today is more thrilling than getting a slightly larger profit tomorrow.And if you have to wait a few months for that gain,it will have to be much bigger in order to arouse the same interest in your brain.Things way off in the future---like retirement—don’t jostle the pleasure center much at all.16.In the author’s eyes，Americans say they can’t save any money because they_____.A.want to win sympathyB.are well prepared for retirementC.will make more money in the futureD.are probably unwilling to be economical17.According to the passage,during the housing boom the banks_____.A.raised the saving interest rateB.issued fewer credit cardsC.made it easier to borrow moneyD.initiated credit risk management18.How many reasons are given in Paragraph3?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.19.The neuroeconomists'research is cited to prove_____.A.saving will be more thrilling as time goes byB.MRIs help customers make purchase decisionsC.if s a complex process to stimulate the pleasure centerD.immediate gratification is more appealing than delayed gratification20.What suggestion do you think the author is most likely to give in the following paragraphs?A.Saving up money.B.Applying for credit cards.C.Stimulating consumption.D.Studying the pleasure center.II.SPEED READINGSkim or scan the following passages,and then decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points,1point each)Passage5Questions21to25are based on the following passage.Many editors and writers today define flash fiction as a story ranging from a few words to not usually over1,500to2,000 words(but more often less than1,000words).A traditional short story ranges from3,000to20,000words,so flash fiction is considerably shorter.However,while length can help identify flash fiction,it is of little use in actually defining it.The amorphous and variable quality of flash fiction allows for the constant changing of shapes as these stories draw and develop from various genres and traditions to create stand-alone stories that often work on their own terms.Countless writers are involved in writing flash fiction in various ways.Many are involved in following the form’s long tradition，and many others are reinventing the form as they continue to experiment with the boundaries and methods of fiction.These shortest of stories are not always diversions for the moment but are often stories that are profound and memorable—as good fiction of longer lengths can be.Charles Baxter notes in the introduction to Sudden Fiction International:60Short Short Stories,'This form is not about to be summarized by anyone's ideas about it.The stories are on so many various thresholds:they are between poetry and fiction,the story and the sketch,prophecy and reminiscence,the personal and the crowd As a form，they are open，and exist in a state of potential.”Some names for flash fiction are chosen to stress brevity,suggesting that such stories can be read or even written in a flash.Other names are chosen to emphasize the way in which the stories affect and enlighten readers.And still other names are chosen for the way in which they cause readers to perform the act of reading,many times forcing them to slow down and read such pieces as slowly and carefully as they would read good poetry.Even though this type of writing travels by several names,flash fiction has become the most popular label,likely because of its snappy poetic consonance,which makes it easy to hold in memory,and because of its distance from the older, less descriptive term“short-shorts”.More and more writers，editors,and readers use“flash fiction”to refer to very short stories.21.Flash fiction usually refers to a story ranging from a few words to____.A.less than1，000wordsB.more than2,000wordsC.more than3,000wordsD.less than20,000words22.The form of flash fiction can be best described as____.A.variableB.unifiedC.traditionalplete23.How many ways of naming flash fiction are mentioned in Paragraph4?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.24.Among all the labels referring to very short stories,the most popular one is____.A.short-shortsB.short storyC.flash fictionD.poetic story25.The passage mainly focuses on flash fiction in terms of its____.A.popularitysC.readersD.poetic qualityPassage6Questions26to30are based on the following passage.Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting,but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with,it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do.Most people,when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice,are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing.And whatever they decide on,they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been more pleasant.The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances of success and opportunities for ambition.In most work success is measured by income,and while the capitalistic society continues,this is inevitable.It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply.The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure(获取). However dull work may be，it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation，whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle.Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run,and for most men this comes chiefly through their work.In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men,or than women who work outside the home.The domesticated wife does not receive wages, has no means of bettering herself,is taken for granted by her husband(who sees practically nothing of what she does),and is valued by him not for her housework but for quite other qualities.Of course this does not apply to those women who are sufficiently well-to-do to make beautiful houses and beautiful gardens and become the envy of their neighbors;but such women are comparatively few.For the great majority,housework cannot bring as much satisfaction as work of other kinds brings to men and to professional women.The satisfaction of killing time and of affording some outlet,however modest,for ambition,belongs to most work,and is sufficient to make even a man whose work is dull happier on the average than a man who has no work at all.But when work is interesting,it is capable of giving satisfaction of a far higher order than mere relief from tedium.The kinds of work in which there is some interest may be arranged in a hierarchy.26.For most people,even uninteresting work has the advantage of_____.A.earning a good nameing up extra energyC.cultivating interest in workD.sparing the need of deciding what to do27.In the capitalistic society,income is usually an indication of_____.A.powerB.wisdomC.rightsD.success28.Dull work can be accepted if it_____.A.offers life insuranceB.foresees a chance for promotionC.offers comfortable working environmentD.offers a chance of building up a reputation29.Most housewives are valued by their husbands for_____.A.making houses beautifulB.making gardens beautifulC.other qualities than their houseworkD.their housework rather than other qualitiespared with a man who has no work,a man with a dull job is generally_____.A.happierB.more boredC.less satisfiedD.less pleasantIII.DISCOURSE CLOZEThe following is taken from the textbook.Read the passage and fill in the numbered spaces(there are more suggested answers than necessary).Write your answers

well,（36)_____.I asked,’What is that strange smell in the air?’Miss Sullivan led me to the well.She took my hand and placed it under the spout from which water flew out.”(37)____，Miss Sullivan spelt
