There are also signs, says Professor Martin, that an unusually large number of such children are mentally affected. The professor says, “It’s true. My personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal feelings that I or my assistants may have on the subject.” Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, “I’ve never heard such rubbish. Taking me for example, no harm is done to the education of my children who change schools regularly if they keep to the system, as in our Army schools. In my experience, Army children ---- and I’ve known quite a few of them ---- are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more than. What the professor doesn’t appear to appreciate is the fact that in such situations children will adapt much better than grownups.” When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or mentally affected in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency. “Our findings show that while the very bright child can deal with regular changes without harming his or her general progress in studies, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning situation.” 36. According to Professor Martin’s report, ____________. A. children have to go to different schools because of their parents’ moving around B. children make slow progress because they are mentally affected C. signs are shown that many children are mentally affected by their studies D. changing from one school to another too often has ill effect on children’s studies 37. Which of the following is true according to what the professor says? A. He doesn’t quite agree with the report. B. The conclusion is reasonable without any personal feelings. C. His feeling has some effect on the research. D. His assistants may have effect on his feeling. 38. From the passage, we know that Captain James’ children __________. A. enjoy changing schools instead of staying in one school B. adapt much better than grown-ups C. discuss the same system regularly with their father D. can get used to the Army school education 39. Captain James thinks that ________. A. children are generally well-adjusted B. quite a few children don’t keep to the system C. all children are mentally affected in some way D. children can adapt more easily than grown-ups B Kathy was a university student. Like most students she had very little money, but she wanted to buy a car. “If I can buy one really cheap that works,” she thought, “I will save money on bus fares. Then I’ll have more to spend on food.” She spent a day looking at cars in the second-hand car yards. Most of them were much too expensive, but at least she found one for $250. The car was rusty and the paint was badly damaged, but it worked. “It’s got a good engine,” the salesman said, “and the gearbox is OK. Forget everything else.” Kathy bought the car and drove it out of the car yard. Everything was wrong with it except for the engine and gearbox, which worked very well. “As long as they work,” Kathy thought, “nothing else matters. The salesman was right.” Unfortunately, a few days later, while she was driving to her university, a police car drove up beside her and made her stop. A young policeman got out of his car and walked around Kathy’s car. He looked at it disbelievingly. He made a list of the things wrong with the car. It was a very long list. Then he looked inside the car. “Does your speed-meter work?” he asked. Kathy shook her head. “It is against the law, Miss,” he said. “not to know how fast you are traveling.” Kathy smiled at him sweetly. “Oh, but I do know how fast I am traveling,” she said. “Up to 30 miles an hour, the doors rattle. Between 31 and 50 miles an hour, the whole car rattles. Over 50 miles an hour, I rattle.” 40. Why was Kathy pleased with the car at first? A. It was a very good car. B. The engine and gearbox worked well. C. There were not many things wrong with it. D. It went very fast. 41. Why did the policeman look at Kathy’s car disbelievingly? A. He thought Kathy was telling lies. B. He did not trust students. C. The car had so many things wrong with it. D. Kathy had broken the law. 42. When Kathy drives at the speed of 40 miles an hour, what probably would happen? A. The door will be torn open. B. The whole will rattle. C. She herself will rattle. D. The police will fine her. C Minh Pham was born in Vietnam. He left when he was 21 years old. Minh has been in America for almost two years. There is still much he does not understand about America. Once, Minh was in a supermarket. He saw an old man and an old woman. They wanted a box of cereal. The box was on a high shelf. The man and woman couldn’t reach it. Minh saw a ladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him. “Where are your children?” asked Minh. “Why don’t they help you buy food?” “Our children have their own lives,” said the man and woman. “We like to be independent.” Minh doesn’t think it is right. In his country, children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number. He told them to call him if they needed help. One night they invited Minh to dinner, but they never asked him for help. One day, Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend. Two men were going to a movie. Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first. Minh took his friend’s hand. He pulled him toward the restaurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vietnam, friends often hold hands. Minh found out that people in America are not used to men holding hands. Minh Pham is going through a process(过程) known as resocialization. Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process. Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam. But it is only the Vietnamese way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society. Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years. He still has a lot to learn. The process of resocialization can take many years. 43. The main idea of this passage is that _________. A. it takes time to get used to a new society B. it is not so easy to travel from one country to another C. it needs time and energy to act independently D. it is necessary to learn about other countries 44. According to the passage, socialization happens to ________. A. only the Vietnamese in America B. only Americans C. only older people D. everyone 45. According to the passage, people stared at Minh and his friend because Minh and his friend were _____________. A. Vietnamese B. holding hands C. fighting D. not dressed like Americans 46. The underlined word “resocialization” means __________. A. keeping one’s own way of life B. keeping up with others C. a process of learning how to live in a new society D. understanding a new culture D If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be connected with the audience and should help to show them that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may comment on their disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' meeting, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, and so on. Every one is polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line and grabs his food. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor." If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a remark about the bad canteen food or the chairman's bad taste in ties. With other audience you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will hate an outsider making critical remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you make a joke about the Post Office or the telephone system. If you feel awkward (笨拙) being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual (不经心的) remarks which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark. 47. To make your humor work, you should __________ . A. take advantage of different kinds of audience B. make fun of the disorganized people C. address different problems to different people D. show sympathy for your listeners 48. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ____________ . A. impolite to new arrivals B. very conscious of their godlike role C. the focus of public attention D. very busy even during lunch hours 49. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ___________ . A. without a facial expression B. as awkwardly as possible C. in vague statement D. as casually as possible 50. The best title for the passage may be__________ . A. Use Humor Effectively B. Various Kinds of Humor C. Add Humor to Speech D. Be a Man of Humor 五. 补全对话(共5句;每句满分为3分，共15分) 根据中文提示，把对话中缺少的内容写在答题卡相应题号后。这些必须符合英语达习 惯。打句号的地方，用陈述句;打问号的地方，用疑问句。 提示:Peter Brown 感冒咳嗽, 还发烧，持续三四天了，去看医生，医生检查以后，给他 开了药，要求他卧床休息几天直到烧退了。 (Doctor =D ; Peter Brown = P) W: Next patient, please!
