There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of the passage there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
College brings together people from all works of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people you dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college living with different roommates will help you to learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of a person’s brain were injured, he would lose the power to do certain things. And so, people thought that each part of the brain does.
In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research on the brain. Scientists have found out that the way brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists tell us that about 100,000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human mind.
Earlier scientists thought that the power of one’s brain got weaker and weaker as one grew older. But it is now thought that that’s not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.
26. In the last century, scientists found that a person would lose the power to
do certain things_________.
A.when he had drunk too much
B.if certain parts of his brain were hurt
C.after he did a quite different job
D.if he had been greatly frightened
27.Scientists today are still unable to show exactly_________.
A. how many chemical changes take place in the brain each second
B. whether each part of the brain does the same work
C.what each part of the brain is called
D.which part of the brain is the most important
28.It has been found that the brain usually works_______.
A. in a fairy complicated(复杂) way
B. a little any rest all day long
C.without any rest all day long
D.in a very simple way
29.Which of the following is not true?
A. Scientists are working hard to resolve the mysteries of the brain.
B.As many as six million changes take place in the brain every minute.
C. A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower mind.
D.Even an old man may have a quick mind only if his brain is given
much exercise.
30.The more work our brains have, _________.
A. the less result we will gain
B. the more tired they will feel
C. the weaker their power will get
D. the more work they are able to do
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
A normal conversation between strangers involves more than talk. It also involves the dynamics of space interaction. If one person gets too close, the other person will back up. If the first person invades the other’s space again, the other will back up again. The person who finds himself or herself backing up is trying to increase the distance of the comfort zone. The person closing in is trying to decrease that distance. Most likely neither person is fully aware of what is going on.
In the 1960s American anthropologist Edward T. Hall was a pioneer in the study of human behavioral use of space. His field of study became known as proxemics. Hall said that personal space for Americans can be defined as having four distinct zones: the intimate zone within 18 inches of your body for whispering and embracing; personal zone of 18 inches to four feet, for talking with close friends; social zone of four to 10 feet, for talking with acquaintances; and the social zone of 10 to 25 feet, for talking to strangers or to a group.
Historians say that our standards of personal space began with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century. In cities such as London and New
York, people of different social and economic classes were suddenly crammed together, so they unconsciously developed a commonly understood rule of polite behavior and space to restrict the area around them.
People exhibit nonverbal messages of discomfort when their zones are violated. Invaded people might pull at their hair, become rigid, or even become angry. As Hall noted in his work, a comfortable conversation needs to include the range of human personal space.
31. This passage is not mostly about_________.
A. what nonverbal communication is
B. human conversation
C. the life of Edward T. Hall
D. human behavioral use of space
32. Edward T. Hall identified________
A. talks between strangers
B. angry people
C .four zones of personal space D. the Industrial Revolution
33. If you and a close friend began talking when you were eight feet apart, you
will probably soon______
A. move closer together
B. move farther apart from each other
C. begin talking softly
D. ask another friend to join the conversation
34. The third paragraph provides______
A. historical view on personal space
B. an economic reason for personal space
C. an overview of Edward T. Hall’s field of study
D. a definition of personal space
35. The word “dynamics” (line 1, paragraph 1) means_______
A. difficulties
B. forces or influence that cause change
C. largeness
D. explosions so large that they are beyond belief
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Never give out identifying information such as Name, Home, Address, School Name, or Telephone Number in a public message such as at a chat room or on bulletin boards(布告牌). Never send a person a picture of you without first checking with your parents.
●Never reply to message or bulletin board items that are:
Suggestive/Obscene(下流的)/Ready to fight /Express intention to hurt/Make you feel uncomfortable.
●Be careful when someone offers something for nothing such as gifts and
money. Be very careful about any offers that get you to meet or have someone visit your house.
●Tell your parents right away if you come across any information that
makes you feel uncomfortable.
●Never arrange a face-to –face meeting without telling your parents. If your
parents agree to the meeting, make sure that you meet in a public place and have a parent with you.
●Remember that people online may not be who they seem. Because you
can’t see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone says that “she is a 12-year-old girl” could really be an old man.
●Be sure that you are dealing with someone that you and your parents know
and trust before giving out any personal information about yourself through E-mail.
●Get to know your “online friend”just as you get to know all of your
friends.
