I want my guests to enjoy themselves and to feel comfortable. What is the secret of giving a successful party? Letter 2 Dear Mary， Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests，If a guest offers to help you in the kitchen，accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help. Before serving dinner，while your guests make small talks in the living room，offer them drinks. Some guests may like wine，but make sure to provide soft drinks for people who don’t. At the dinner table，let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don’t ask more than once. Most guests will take more if they want. Perhaps the most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you’re in their home—that is，act naturally toward them，and don’t try too hard to be polite. Have a good time in a pleasant atmosphere. 41.

We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them. It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example:You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break. Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard. Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1 949.Air bags are also very important for car safety because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its airbags will come out quickly in less than one second—to keep the people inside safe. 36. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be___________. A) little fun B) a pleasure C) a lot of trouble D) a great danger 37. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that__________.

When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitions(志 向).

A credit card can be useful. You could take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you wanted. All you would have to do is to sign your name and take what you wanted out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cards---they can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poisons we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us. These cards can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company changes a percentage of that amount in interest. The insect is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are ―overextended‖. That is, they have more debt on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards. 38.

A) they can no longer use credit cards for anything B) they have to pay off debts with their money on their cards 61/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 C) they have used more money than they can pay off D) they will be overcharged ten percent of interest 42.

B) Using credit cards to pay for funerals may solve debt problem. C) No interest will be charged for the money paid for funerals.

As a kid, Kacey Long would dream of becoming a professional woman. While studying human resources management successfully at university. Long decide to change her look. So, at 19,she decided to get her breasts enlarged, ―I was all about doing anything I could to improve myself,‖ she says. With that decision, Long joined thousands of young patients who are surgically altering their appearance each year. Teenagers even younger than Long are having breasts enlarged, noses and ears reshaped and skin changed. In 2003, almost 336,000 American teens 18 or younger had some kind of cosmetic (美容) surgery or procedure, a 50% increase over 2002. Patient-safety advisers believe that many of the teens having surgery are unnecessarily putting themselves at risk of injury or even death. Teens are at the greatest risk of making a decision they will regret as Long did. Long had her breasts enlarged to size D, felt sick and weak within months after the $4,500-cost plastic surgery, and had her breast fillings removed two years later. She is still suffering from the long, painful recoveries. ―I wish I had never done it,‖ says Long. She is just one of those thousands who are actually risking their future beauty by going under the knife when they are still growing. 43. Which of the following is true about Kacey Long?

A) stop the American teenagers from having painful surgery B) call our attention to the American teenagers’ health C) express sympathy towards the American teenagers D) inform the teenagers of the danger of the cosmetic surgery Passage Four Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage. Scientists in the United States have developed a computer program that say could provide an early warming of major earthquakes. The new system is designed to give a warming seconds before an earthquake strikes. That may not sound like very long. However, it could give people time to get under a table. The flow of electric power or gas could be cut, air traffic controllers could warn away pilots. Even so-called ―smart buildings‖ could be designed to get ready. Richard Allen of the University of Wisconsin and Hiroo Kananmori of the California Institute of Technology developed the program. They call it the Earthquake Alarm System. A report published in Science magazine describes it. The system uses a mathematical program to measure information collected by instruments placed across the Los Angeles area. Southern California already has more than 150 stations that measure movements within the ground. The information they collect is sent to a high-speed computer. The new system is designed to estimate the strength of the earthquake once the shaking starts. Areas directly above the center of the earthquake would have the least warning. Distant places might have as long as forty seconds. Professor Allen notes that an early warning system for earthquakes would require a major campaign of public education. Then, another problem is the possibility of false alarms. 48. When an earthquake strikes, the new alarm system would give people enough time to______. A) find shelter in ―smart buildings‖ B) tell pilots to land the airplanes C) know the strength of the earthquake D) turn off gas and electricity 49.The ―earthquake Alarm System‖ described in the passage has been developed by _______. A) Richard Allen and his teacher Hiroo Kananmori B) Hiroo Kananmori and his assistant Richard Allen C) two scientists from the United States and Japan D) two scientists from two universities in the US 50. The new alarming program_________. A) is widely used in Winsconsin and California B) is still in process of development C) is especially useful for areas directly above center of the earthquake D) gives warming at least forty seconds before the earthquake starts. 51. The new alarm system may be described as _________. A) a program that analyzes data across the United States B) a network of instruments placed across the United States 63/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 C) a program to collect information from 150 different stations D) a very powerful computer that can do mathematical problems. 52. The writer of this passage has most probably used information from_________. A) a meeting held at the California Institute of Technology B) an interview with Professor Richard Allen C) a report published in the Science magazine D) an announcement made by a group of scientists.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly ail the teachers are women, mostly married. (76) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. the social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness. 65/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 1. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children__________. A. sensible and sensitive B. competitive and interested C. curious and friendly D. happy and co-operative 2. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think__________. A. children are reluctant to help each other B. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operation C. children should grow up with competitive ideas D. schools give little actual instruction to children 3. the author's attitude towards American education can be best described as__________. A. favorable B. negative C. tolerant D. unfriendly 4. the American educational system emphasizes__________. A. material wealth B. competition C. co-operation D. personal benefit 5. the word "sociable" (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means__________. A. fond of talking freely B. friendly with other people C. concerned about social welfare D. happy at school Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (77) The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a GREater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (78) The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a GREat part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy. 66/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 6. According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________. A. is a method often used by people who cannot speak B. can tell something that words cannot C. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear D. is less used than words 7. the South American__________.

A. is a sign of one's friendliness B. is a sign of one's unfriendliness C. makes people feel happy D. makes people feel uncomfortable Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-Teen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harnfful to the young. (79) Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. (80) Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time 67/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 it takes on the screen. 11.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. (www.pkucet.com) Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Languages are remarkably complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture. (76)(They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. )To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, ―As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.‖A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes. (www.pkucet.com) 1. The best title for this passage is A. Organs of Culture B. Brain and Body C. Looking into his eyes D. Language and Culture 2. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is__________ A. to read the works of poets and philcsophers B. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyes C. to begin by learning its body language D. to visit a country where you can study 3. According to this passage, gestures are__________ A. spoken words B. a non-language element C. pictures in a language D. written language 4. "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives..." means__________ A. if one learns many foreign languages, one will have a better understanding of his own language B. life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languages C. no matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than one's own culture D. if a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life 5. Which of the following doesn't share the same meaning with the others? A. signs B. gestures C. efficient D. body language Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: (www.pkucet.com) Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods. 72/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire(帝国). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation. (77)(Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. )The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. (78)(So, unless the govemment has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.) This does not only mean that the villagers' children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in - and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood. (www.pkucet.com) 6. What is the most important function of trees? A. Providing fuel. B. Offering shade. C. Preventing natural disaster. D. Providing wood. 7. What eventually happened to the empire in the paragraph? A. Its people died of hunger. B. It fell to pieces. C. It became a giant empire. D. It built many ships with wood. 8. It is implied in the passage that the villagers__________ A. want a plentiful supply of trees. B. want firewood badly. C. just want to get money. D. don't realize the importance of trees. 9. The role of trees is to__________ A. loosen soil B. keep soil in position C. harden soil D. both A and B 10. What is the passage mainly concerned with? A. The benefits of trees. B. Trees and soil protection C. The various uses of trees. D. Different attitudes toward trees. Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. (79)( But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.) There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, (80) (but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and 73/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. )But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. (www.pkucet.com) 11. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to__________ A. take advantage of the physical labor B. introduce the division of labor into England C. understand the effects of the division of labor D. explain the bad causes of the division of labor 12. Adam Smith saw that the division of labor__________ A. enabled each worker to design pins more quickly B. increased the possible output per worker C. increased the number of people employed in factories D. improved the quality of pins produced 13. Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to__________ A. show the advantages of the old labor system B. stress how powerful the individual worker was C. show the advantages of the division of labor D. stress the importance of increased production 14. According to the writer, Adam Smith's mistake was in believing that the division of labor__________ A. was an efficient way of organizing work B. was an important development in methods of production C. finally led to economic development D. increased the production of existing goods 15. According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT tree? A. Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins. B. Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have. C. Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth. D.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. (76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can't make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If you look at children, you'll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. (77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. 1. According to this passage, intelligence is __________. A. the ability to study well B. the ability to do well in school 79/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 C. the ability to deal with life D. the ability to get high scores on some tests 2. In a new situation, an intelligent person__________. A. knows more about what might happen to him B. is sure of the result he will get C. concentrates on what to do about the situation D. cares more about himself 3. If an intelligent person failed, he would__________. A. try not to feel ashamed B. learn from his experiences C. try to regret as much as possible D. make sure what result he would get 4. Bright children and not-bright children__________. A. are two different types of children B. are different mainly in their degree of cleverness C. have difference only in their way of thinking D. have different knowledge about the world 5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________. A. how to determine what intelligence is B. how education should be found C. how to solve practical problems D. how an unintelligent person should be taught Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War I1, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is. the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending 80/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. 6. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________ A. he has saved up enough money B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter C. he has satisfied his hunger D. he has learned to build houses 7. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans __________. A. were very rich B. lived in poverty C. had the good things on the first three levels D. did not own automobiles 8. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"? A. A successful career. B. A comfortable home. C. A good meal. D. A family car. 9. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? A. The more goods the better. B. The more mental satisfaction the better. C. The more "luxury" items the better. D. The more earnings the better. 10. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________ A. would be little better than the fourth level B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four C. can be the last and most satisfying level D. will become attainable before the government takes actions Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting 81/89 整理自网络,考试大examda,～供参考,戚 gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. 11. According to the passage, __________. A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures mean B. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures C. words can be better understood by older people D. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not 12. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because __________.
