Reading Comprehension (2×10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choice.(A)Traveling with children who are old enough to read, write, or play games need not be a problem. By taking along a supply of papers, pencils, or one of the excellent game books that are sold just for the purpose, the time can be made to fly. Verbal games, too, such as “Twenty Questions”, help to pass the hours.When traveling on public transportation, having games and diversions on hand is just as important, since it is unreasonable to expect children, especially small ones, to be able to sit still for long periods of time. It is up to you to keep watch over them, however, and not let them roam bythemselves or make excessive amounts of noise. Fellow passengers have paid for their travel tickets and even those who love children can learn to hate them quickly when trapped in a train or airplane with those who are ill-behaved.On ships there are usually activities of children. Although it is a break for parents to be able to send their children off to participate and have some time alone, you should still make sure that your children behave well. Children should not be permitted to race through corridors or to be unsupervised, no matter how much you enjoy relaxing in your desk chair without them nearby. It would be unfortunate if your children were the cause of other’s feelings that they were also traveling “with children”—— yours ——because of their interruption through constant noise, quarreling, or bad behavior.More and more frequently, children are sent to travel unaccompanied by an adult, whether to visit a relative, or to travel to grandparents. Many parents expect that a flight attendant or train steward will take care of their children when they send them off alone. This is an unreasonable expectation. Travel attendants have specific jobs to do, andthese do not include child care. For that reason each airline has established a minimum age for unaccompanied children. As long as that regulation is respected, there is no reason that children who are emotionally stable and unafraid should not travel by themselves. In my experience with our grandchildren, the airlines have done an excellent job of caring for them and the children have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of course, if it is not possible for a parent to accompany a very young child, then another adult should be hired as a traveling companion.21. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Traveling with a primary school child is not a problem.B. Adults find it easy to pass the time by doing the game such as “Twenty Questions”.C. Children find time fly by doing verbal games such as “Twenty Questions”.D. Game books help make the time pass quickly for young children.22. It is implied but not stated that ______.A. small children cannot be expected to be emotionally stablefor longB. parents find it harassing to take care of their own childrenC. small children always make much noiseD. few fellow passengers like traveling with children23. The italicized word “break”(Para. 3) most probably means “ ______ ”.A. accidentB. mistakeC. restD. pause24. Parents cannot depend on travel attendants to take care of their children because ______.A. they are not responsible for child careB. there is a minimum age for children who travel aloneC. their children are emotionally unstable and timidD. parents should always go with their children25. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the author doesn’t like traveling with his childrenB. the a uthor doesn’t like traveling with other passengers’ childrenC. the author opposes the airlines’ minimum age for unaccompanied childrenD. the author prefers children’s unaccompanied trave l ifthey are old enough(B)With its almost six billion people, the world offers a fascinating variety of human shapes and colors. As humans spread throughout the world, their adaptations to diverse climate and other living conditions resulted in this fascinating variety of complexions, colors and shapes. Changes in the genetic structure added distinct characteristics to the peoples of the globe. In this sense the concept of race, a group with inherited physical characteristics that distinguish it from another group, is a reality. Humans do indeed come in a variety of colors and shapes.In two senses, however, race is a myth, a fabrication of the human mind. The first fabrication is the idea that any one race is superior to another. All races have their geniuses —and their idiots. Like language, no race is superior to another. Adolf Hitler’s ideas were extreme. He believed that a superior race, called the Aryans, was responsible for the cultural achievements of Europe. They possessed the genetic stuff that made them inherently superior. Even many scientists of the time —not only Germany but throughout Europe and theUnited States —espoused the idea of racial superiority. Not surprisingly, they considered themselves members of the supposedly superior race!In addition to the myth of racial superiority, there is a second myth — that of the existence of a “pure” race. From the perspective of contemporary biology, humans show such a mixture of physical characteristics, that the “pure” races do not exist. Instead of falling into distinct types clearly separate from one another, human characteristics flow endlessly together. These minute gradations made arbitrary any attempt to draw definite lines.Large groupings of people, however, can be classified by blood type and gene frequencies. Yet even this arrangement does not uncover “race”. Rather, such classifications are so arbitrary that biologists and anthropologists can draw up listings showing any number of “race”. Ashley Montagu, a physical anthropologist, pointed out that some scientists have classified humans into only two “races”while others have found as many as two thousand. Montagu himself classified humans into forty “racial” groups.This is not meant to imply that the idea of race is a myth.That idea is definitely very much alive. It is firmly embedded in our culture, a social reality that we confront daily. Sociologist W. I. Thomas observed that “if people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences”. The fact that no race is superior or that biologically we cannot even decide how people should be classified into races is not what counts. What makes a difference for social life, rather, is that people believe these ideas, for people act on beliefs, not facts. As a result, we always have people like Hitler. Most people, fortunately, do not believe in such extremes, yet most people also appear to be ethnocentric enough to believe, at least just a little, that their own race is superior to others. 26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the diversification of human race resulted from ______.A. genetic inheritance and environmental influencesB. the differentiation of the inherited physical characteristicsC. humans' adaptations to diverse climate and other living conditionsD. genetic changes and distinct characteristics27. The italicized word “espoused” (Para. 2) probably means “______”.A. challengedB. questionedC. opposedD. supported28. Why is there no “pure” race according to the passage?A. Because people of different races often get married.B. Because people have different blood types.C. Because racial characteristics cover each other in part.D. Because there are so many races in the world.29. The author believes that any attempt at classifying races ______.A. is at best arbitraryB. is bound to be biasedC. tends to pick out one race as superiorD. takes culture into account30. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that ______.A. it is hardly possible to classify humans into racial groupsB. we should be on our guard against any idea of racial superiorityC. race is indeed a mystery to be explored and uncoveredD. it is not important how people should be classifiedIII. Cloze Test (0.5×20=10)Direction: Choose the one from the given A,B,C and D to complete the passage properly.Walt Disney World is indeed a Resort Park Complex with families in mind. 31 also goes without saying that a family 32 is an opportunity for families to relax and spend some “quality”33 together, but what about Mom and Dad? Here again the 34 thoughtful Disney people have 35 care of everything. Child care has never been more convenient and family 36 .On a recent trip 37 Disney World this Dad decided it was time to 38 our Disney Mom to a night out. Initially we felt a little 39 to leave our kids with 40 during our family vacation. In order to 41 our conscious, we decided to take our two 8 year 42 for a “visit”to the Cub Den before we abandoned them there 43 that night. The only problem we had during our visit was 44 them to leave. We were greeted by a Cast Member whose smile and friendly manner put everyone 45 ease. As we looked around the kids could not decide what they wanted to 46 first, the video games, toys, games or Disney Videos. We were also 47 that dinner would be provided and pizza was on the menu.48 the time approached to drop the kids off the only trouble we had was keeping up as we crossed the 49 on our way to the Cub Den. After signing them in we barely got a good-bye as they joined a group of kids who were seated on the floor 50 by a Disney Island animal caretaker and her special visitor.31. A. Which B. That C. It D.

Why are men and women wiling to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risk on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and footballThere are, of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big diffidence is that mountaineering is not a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the fores of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of efforts, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.The word 查看答案【二、 Reading comprehension】1~5DBCAD6~10CACD 【三、 Cloze】1~5BADCB6~10CDABA11~15点击下载查看答案。

It is the oldest continent in the sense that it has altered relatively little since life appeared on earth. Thousands of years before the explorers Abel Tasman and James Cook sailed into the South Pacific, the aborigines had crossed the hand bridge from Asia formed by the Malay Archipelago and had spread throughout the mainland and Tasmania. When Capt. Arthur Philip of the British Royal Navy landed with the First Fleet at Botany in 1788, the event that marks the true beginning of modern Australia, there were probably not more than 300,000 Aborigines altogether.The most striking characteristics of the vast 3,000,000 square-mile landmass are its isolation, its low relief, and the aridity of its surface. Its isolation from other continents explains much of the strangeness of Australian plant and animal life; its low relief results from the long and extensive erosive action of the forces of wind, rain and the heat of the sun during the great periods of geological time when the continental mass was elevated well above sea level. A member of the Commonwealth of Nations, **monwealth of Australia is a prosperous, independent nation under one government. Like Canada and the United States, contemporary Australia is a political federation with a central government (the Commonwealth) and, six constituent states (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania) , each of which has its own government enjoying a limited sovereignty. There are also two internal territories: the Northern Territory was established as a self-governing territory in 1978, and the Australian Capital Territory, seat of the federal capital city Canberra, is administered directly by the Commonwealth, which also governs the external territories of Norfolk Island, Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Coral Sea Islands, and Heard and McDonald Islands and claims the Australian Antarctic Territory. The Cocos Islands was a non-self-governing territory until 1984 ,when it was integrated with Australia following an act of self determination approved by the Cocos Malay people.16. The true beginning of modern Australia took place in ______.A. 1788B. 1842C. 1978D. 198417. Which of the following became a self-governing territory most recently?A. Northern Territory.B. Cocos Islands.C. New South Wales.D. Tasmania.18. Where did the **e from?A. North America.B. South America.C. Africa.D. Asia.19. What type of climate does most of Australia have?A. Dry.B. Wet.C. Frigid.D. Jungle.20. What country colonized Australia?A. France.B. Germany.C. Great Britain.D. The United States.(2)The Great Wall of China is the longest structure ever built. Its length is about 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers), and it was erected entirely by hand. The wall crosses northern China between the east coast and north-central China.Over the centuries, various rulers built walls to protect their northern border against invaders. Some of the walls stood on or near the site of the Great Wall. Most of what is now called the Great Wall dates from the Ming dynasty(1368-1644). Parts of the Great Wall have crumbled through the years. However, much of it remains, and some sections have been restored. The main part of the wall is about 2,150 miles(3,460 kilometers)long. Additional branches make up the rest of its length.One of the highest sections of the Great Wall, on Mount Badaling, near Beijing, rises to about 35 feet(11 meters)high. This section is about 25 feet(7.6 meters)wide at its base and nearly 20 feet(6 meters) at the top. Watchtowers stand about 100 to 200 yards(91 to 180 meters)apart along the wall. The towers, about 40 feet (12 meters) high, once served as lookout posts.Written records indicate that the Chinese built walls along their borders as early as the 600's B.C. Emperor Shi Huangdi of the Qin dynasty (221-206 B. C. )is traditionally regarded as the first ruler to conceive of, and build, a Great Wall. Most of the Qin wall was north of the present-day wall. Shi Huangdi had the wall built by connecting new walls with older ones. Building continued during later dynasties, including the Han (202 B. C. - 220 A.D. ) and the Sui (581 - 618 ).By the time the Ming dynasty began in 1368, much of the wall had fallen into ruin. In response to the growing threat of a Mongol invasion, the Ming government began building a major wall in the late 1400's. This wall included most of what remains today. Like earlier ones, it protected China from minor attacks but provided little defense against a major invasion.Through the centuries, much of the Great Wall again collapsed. However, the Chinese have done restoration work since 1949. The wall no longer serves the purpose of defense, but it attracts many visitors. Tourists from around the **e to see the wall. Historians study writing and objects found in fortifications and tombs along the structure. Scientists study earthquakes by examining parts of the wall that have been affected by these earth movements.21. The earliest wall in China was built probably around ______.A. the 600'sB.C. B. the 210's B. C.C. the 210's A.D. D. the 1300's A. D.22. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The Chinese started building their borders in the seventh centuryB.C.B. Emperor Shi Huangdi of the Qin dynasty was the first to conceive of a Great Wall.C. Most of the Qin wall was to the north of what is now called the Great Wall.D. The building of the present-day wall lasted for hundreds of years.23. The purpose of building walls was ______ .A. to attract touristsB. to have earthquake researchC. to protect the border against invasionD. to demonstrate the power of the ruler24.

The saddest aspect of mass tourism has been brought recently to the attention of the public: it seems that the great number of visitors is destroying the treasures that they enjoy most. Under millions of feet, ancient stones wear out, ancient floors break down. Parts of the palace of Versailles may have to be closed to the public in order to preserve them, and some European caves, famous for their thirty-thousand-year-old paintings, have already been closed because the paintings were damaged by human respiration. There **e a time when only specialists in art, history, or archaeology will be allowed near the treasures of the past. Perhaps we'd better hurry to see them; perhaps we'd better take a tour soon.72. Professional travelers are similar to business travelers in many ways, although this type of travel is more elastic than business travel. Professional travel is built around the meeting and convention markets. These markets have grown as transportation, especially by air, has become more available and affordable. As professional travel continues to grow, new and expanded meeting and convention facilities have been developed to satisfy this increasing demand. Along with this growth, new management challenges have arisen to serve this specialized market. Some of the key market segments for meeting participants or attendees are associations, businesses, exhibitions and trade shows, religious organizations, political parties, and governments.。

Travelers usually ______ those whose travels require the use of overnight accommodation and those whose trips last less than one day.A. classify intoB. classifies intoC. are classifying intoD. are classified intoⅡ.**prehensionDirections: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically nonexistent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a continental man or one from the older generation.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy, and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "**e, first served, " while a gray haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in packed refugee train or a train on its way to a prisoner camp during the war. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a day's work, are not angels at all. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One **mend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems urgent, not only **munications in transport should be improved, but also **munication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so forth. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.16. According to the passage, we could expect good manners from ______.A. Englishmen in LondonB. a man from FranceC. men in big modern cities in EnglandD. men only in metropolitan cities17. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners toward women?A. Women have claimed equality and no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. It is considered old fashioned for young men to give up their seats for young women.C. Lady First should be universally practiced.D. Special consideration should be shown to women.18. According to the writer, communication between human beings would be smoother if ______.A. people were more considerate to each otherB. life were easier and **fortableC. women were treated with more courtesyD. public transport could be improved19. The italicized word "deterioration" in the last paragraph probably means "______".A. worsening of the general situationB. lowering of the moral standardsC. declining of the courtesy to womenD. spreading of evil conduct20. It could be inferred that the best remedy for the hard travel conditions in city would be ______.A. to attach significance to the moral education of young peopleB. to treat people, be they young or old, with courtesy and sympathyC. to demand everyone do his part not to be impolite to each otherD. to improve the means of transportation and the public, morality(2)In recent years, we have seen great progress in house building. The type of houses found in a certain part of the world depends to a certain extent on the building materials available there. Countries where stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place where there is plenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses built to a greater extent.In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two main factors are responsible for the type of houses built: the heat of the sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses are light and airy but have steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because they may be in lowlying areas which get flooded easily.In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very small and narrow, it is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing. Sometimes, a water tank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs of the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs were fiat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.Some countries are more likely to be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses aremade of light building materials. If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurt and less damage is caused.In some parts of the world, people take their homes along with them as they travel. These people are called nomads. The Bedouins of Arab lands wander over the desert, setting up tents wherever they stop to rest.21. Houses in equatorial countries ______.A. are light and airyB. have steep roofsC. are always built on stiltsD. are built to shelter from the harsh elements22.

The traveler, then, is better understood and better appealed to if he is recognized as a person consuming products and services. Seeing the traveler in this manner will result in a change of attitude on the part of the observer and enable the marketer to provide a better product or service to the traveler. A second more tangible benefit to be gained from this approach relates to the idea of prepotency. If one accepts Maslow's idea of prepotency--that lower-level needs should be satisfied to some extent before the satisfaction of higher-level needs becomes a concerns--we would expect that products and services, including vacations, which are targeted towards the satisfaction of lower-level needs, would be regarded as more of a necessity than a luxury and would, as such, be more resilient to external pressures of time and money.72. As China's economy shifts to a more market system, the domestic travel industry will face in creasing challenges in a more **petitive environment. This will require domestic travel services to constantly study their market conditions, design travel products according to the needs and wantsof tourists, and sell their travel products effectively to potential markets. A successful domestic tourism industry in China relies on two levels of coordination and operation. National and provincial governments need to monitor regional trends in domestic travel patterns and develop measures for guiding domestic travel growth. At the individual business level, domestic travel services need to implement systematic management practices and operations. China can only develop a successful domestic tourism industry if there is a well-coordinated effort between the government and the private travel industry.。

Reading comprehension: (2×10=20)Directions: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Some seven or eight hundred years ago, Hangzhou, known as Ling'an then, was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, watching the tidal bore was already a grand occasion in town when the whole population would turn out for the spectacle. The best time to do this was from the 15th to the 18th of the eighth month of each year. But beginning from about the tenth day of the month, that part of the river bank that offered the best vantage point for ride watching would already be a busy gathering place for little open-air booths and stalls where vendors piledcolourful wares on their carts or boxes. There would be all kinds of snacks and cooked meats in shining pots and pans. The taverns and restaurants would put up mulfi-coloured lanterns and flags or pennants, displaying meanwhile an attractive array of meat and vegetable dishes with a lot more exotic delicacies on the menu. In the tea-houses would be hung paintingscrolls and calligraphy scrolls by famous artists while the antique vases would be filled with flesh flowers. In addition, there would be vendors displaying plasters and medicinal herbs for sale on the ground, roving artists with their monkeys for variety, shows or folk artists ready to entertain the crowds. Even before the days of the tidal bore, these people would be gathered on the river bank doing whatever they could to attract pleasure-seekers. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people, visitors from other towns as well as local residents of Ling' an, would be hustling and bustling about, clogging up the way and making traffic impossible. In the large riverside mansions that lined the banks, there would be opulently dressed men and women, some leaning against the windows or the balconies looking into the distance and some looking down gazing fixedly at something going on down below.16. In the Southern Song Dynasty, people ______ to watch the tidal bore.A. were usedB. usedC. were anxiousD. were extremely eager17. At that time people came to watch the tidal bore _____ of the eighth month of each year.A. from 15th to the 18thB. starting around 10thC. from 15th to the endD. at the middle18. The vendors were selling their wares _____.A. along the bankB. at the best vantage pointC. in pilesD. using pots and pans19. The crowds coming to watch the tidal bore were also entertained by ____.A. painting scrollsB. displaying plastersC. folk artistsD. pleasure-seekers20. The best vantage point for tide watching was _____.A. large riverside mansionsB. distant balconiesC. taverns and restaurantsD. the tea houses(2)Vacation travel, a pleasant travel, is one of the faster-growing segments of the tourism industry. These travelers seek enjoyment and pleasure for their travel.Vacation travel is typically price-sensitive and often concerned with the particular time of day or day of week schedules. Vacation travel has been heavily promoted by the airlines for Saturday and Sunday travel when their transport capacity is not heavily used by business travelers. Further, the vacation travel market is where the airlines often offer lower fares. These tickets often have many restrictions designed to prevent regular business travelers from switching to the lower fares. For example, the super-saver fare requires the passenger to stay at the destination over a Saturday night. Such fares are not good during certain heavy holiday periods or Monday to Friday flights, or they constitute only a small number of seats on flights that normally would not be filled by full-fare business passengers.The vacation market is an important one to Florida, the Caribbean, Colorado, and Vermont during the winter months for sun and ski vacations. The United States to Europe and the United States coast to coast are strong vacation markets in the summer. Travel agents and tour operators are heavily involved in the vacation market. Charter bus trips and tours are also major parts of the vacation market.The vacation travel market is also splintering into “boutique” travel niches as well. These are specialty vacations in which recreation and/or rest at a hotel or on a cruise ship are not the major elements of the trip. Trips in this category that have become increasingly popular in recent years include viewing rare animal life at the Galapagos islands, whale watching in Baja California, hiking in Nepal, photographic expeditions in the wilds of Alaska or the Northwest Territories,safaris in Africa, and nature cruises up the Amazon River. These trips typically are educational。

specialized travel in the West，with central American countries，such as Costa Rica，________the principal destinations at present．A．be B．to be C．being D．beenⅡ．Reading comprehension：(2×10=20)Directions：Read the following passages and make your proper choices．(1)Culture is the total sum of all the traditions，customs,beliefs，and ways of life of a given group of human beings．In this sense，every group has a culture,however savage，undeveloped，or uncivilized it may seem to be．To the professional anthropologist，there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic rank or hierarchy among languages．People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage，undeveloped forms of speech，consisting largely of grunts and groans．While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans，it is a fact established by the study of“backward”languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today．Most languages of uncivilized groups are，by our most severe standards，extremely complex，delicate，and ingeniouspieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas．They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound pattern of grammatical structures，which usually are fully adequate for all language needs，but only in their vocabularies，which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers．Even in this department，however,two things are to be noted．First，all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion，either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system．Second，the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in“backward”languages，while different from ours，are often surprisingly numerous and complicated．A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness(“this”and“that”)；some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker,or to the person addressed，or out of sight，or in the past，or in the future．This study of language，in turn，casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently,and without ideas of rank or hierarchy．16．According to the author,to the professional linguists，_________．A．all languages came from grunts and groansB．all languages in the world are equal and independentC．Western cultures are better than Eastern culturesD．thesuperiorityof one culture over another is difficult to explain17．We can infer that the author is________．A．a professional anthropologistB．a linguist as well as an anthropologistC．a language researcher from the WestD．a language researcher on“backward culture”18．The languages of backward groups fall behind those of the West in terms of the________．A．vocabulariesB．history and cultureC．machinery for vocabulary expansionD．sound patterns and grammatical structures19．According to the article，some languages of American Indians are________．A．too undeveloped to be understoodB．more civilized than Western languagesC．derived from their own remote systemD．able to distinguish more degrees of remoteness20．What is implied in this passage is that the study of languages________．A．has challenged anthropological studiesB．has reinforced the view of the anthropologistsC．is the same as the study of anthropologyD．has contradicted the result of the study of anthropology(2)The Concorde，plane of the rich and famous，is also probably the world’s safest．The fireball outside Paris Tuesdaywas thesupersonic jet’s firstfatalaccident ever in 24 years of regular operation．And Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007．Yet the plane had been having mishaps—little things．In October a piece of tail fell off in mid-flight．Last January,within a span of 24 hours，two British Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasons—one engine failure，one mysterious false alarm．A few months ago，small cracks，said to be“microscopic”in size，were detected in all seven British Concordes，a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday；one of them was grounded because the cracks had gotten wider．Has the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule?Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built，of which 13 are still in service，operated by British Airways and Air France．They were all built between 1975 and 1980．Both companies hope to keep the planes flying for another 14 or 15 years，and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of“cycles”—roughly one transatlantic flight—the plane could stand，to 8,500．By this calculation，the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at least．This view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes，the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popular．After the crash，Air France asserted，perhaps prematurely,that the crash was due not to any wing problem，like sneaking cracks，but to an exploding engine．That makes it the fastest investigation on record．They have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance check，which on these delicate birds，with their 30-year-old technology,will be expensive．British Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige，shuttling the swells on their surprisingly cramped，1,336-mph passage at$10,000 a head．Take a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable club．But part of its charm—to the small number of people who flew it—was that it was superior to the other planes,safer．Forthe price of a ticket，you were buying a guarantee．If British and French industry officials，who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove，decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesday’s catastrophe，then it’s not hard to imagine that they will seriously consider retiring this distinctive，one-of-a-kind aircraft．21．The reason why the Concorde crashed is that___________．A．one engine failed B．its engine explodedC．a piece of tail fell off D．the cracks had gotten wider22．Concordes are expected to fly ___________8,500 times in the coming 14 or 15 years．A．from Paris to London B．from London to New York CityC．from Paris to New York City D．across the Atlantic Ocean23．British Airways has got prestige from its Concordes because ___________．A．it is superior to other planesB．it offers a safer though expensive flightC．it provides cozy and comfortable seats aboardD．it is the fastest planes in the world24．The word“one-of-a-kind”in the last paragraph probably means“___________”．A．unique B．complicated C．delicate D．modern25．It can be seen that the writer’s attitude to the future of Concordes is ___________ ．A．biased B．objective C．optimistic D．pessimisticⅢ．Cloze：(1×15=15)Directions：Choose the one from the given A，B，C and D to complete the passage properly．The Great Exhibition held in London in 1851 was probably the first show to be called a world fair．Since then there have been 31 universal exhibitions and many cities26to have a world fair．In 1928 the International Bureau of Expositions was founded in Paris to co-ordinate these events and ensure that there is only one each year．There are various and interlinked objectives27 holding a world fair．The stated objectives include encouraging trade，increasing the visibility of a city and country,developing tourism，28economic development and increasing employment，stimulating the re-use of land and29improvements，the celebration of a past event，and the entertainment of the masses，30the often unstated one of obtaining 31 funds from the higher levels of government．The32motive for holding a world fair is to33the city,but as well as selling the city,there is also the selling of ideas．Most expos are linked in some way to the notion of the progress of civilization or modernity．Not34，Expo 92 in Seville，Spain，had the35of discovery．Other themes include education and international understanding．The36city usually prepares a special site for the event37 new buildings and structures of hoped-for architectural distinction and image changing ability are erected．Early examples 38 London’s Crystal Palace and Paris’s Eiffel Tower and a more recent one is Seattle’s Space Needle．These structures will remain a 39legacy to the area,as will any general infrastructure put in place．The fair itself usually contains exhibitions of both arts and manufactures，with pavilions40also by foreign nations．World fairs usually last between five and seven months，but sometimes they last for a whole year．26．A．sought B．have sought C．seek D．has sought27．A．about．B．at C．of D．for28．A．altering B．switching C．attracting D．modifying29．A．basic B．infrastructure C．welfare D．quality30．A．as well as B．include C．plus D．add31．A．exact B．identical C．extra

brought sharply into international focus at the end of the Second World War．Within a mere 20 years of the industry’s take-off,international tourism displayed nearly all the characteristics of its manufacturing counterpart—it was mass，standardized and rigidly packaged．By the mid-1970s，tourism was being produced along assembly-line principles，similar to the automobile industry,with tourists consuming travel and leisure services in a similar robot-like and routine manner．Understanding the evolution of mass tourism，and the factors that created it，are key to understanding the industry’s transformation．72．Travel，whether for business or pleasure，requires arrangements．The traveler usually faces a variety of choices regarding transportation and accommodations；and if the trip is for pleasure，there are a variety of choices regarding destinations，attractions，and activities．The traveler may gather information on prices，value，schedules，characteristics of the destination，and available activities directly,investing a considerable amount of time on the Internet or possibly money on long-distance telephone calls to complete the trip arrangements．Alternatively,the traveler may use the services of a travel agency,obtaining these arrangements．。
