Passage 1


Snowflakes

look

like

white

stars

falling

from

the

sky.

But

there

have

been

times


when snow has looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of


almost

every color. Think how it

would seem to have colored

snowflakes coming down


all around you.


Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It


was found that the snow was mixed with ashes. This made it look dark. Red snow had


come

down

in

other

countries.

When

this

happened,

the

snow

was

mixed

with

red

dust.


Most

snow

looks

white,

but

it

is

really

the

color

of

ice.

Snow

is

that

comes


from

Each

snowflake

begins

with

a

small

drop

of

frozen

water.

More

C. hasn't it

D.


B. two-year-old

C. two- years old

D.


B. in

C. on

D. of


B. some

C. certain

D. any


forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.


No

two

snowflakes

are

ever

just

the

same

size

or

shape.

Sometimes

the

snowflakes


are broken when they come down.

Other snowflakes melt as

they

fall. All

snowflakes


are flat

and

have six sides,

if they

are

not

broken or melted. When the

air is cold


and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and hard. If the air wet and warm, the


snowflakes are big and soft.


Would you be surprised to see snowflakes as big as your head falling from the


sky? It happened once in the United States. It could happen again.

The

first

two

paragraphs

that

sometimes

snow

has

Passage 2


Oil is so important that it is sometimes called


our energy comes from oil. We use it to run our cars and factories and to heat our


homes,

offices and schools. Many everyday things are made from oil. Your shirt may


have

oil

in

the

material.

The

soap

you

wash

your

hands

with

might

also

be

made

from


oil. Your favorite plastic toy is made from oil.


Oil is hard to find, because it is trapped deep under the earth. Once the only


way

people

knew

there

was

oil

someplace

if

it

leaked

out

of

the

ground.

Today,

however,


we

have

many

ways

of

finding

oil.

One

tool

measures

the

pull

of

gravity.

Places

where


gravity is weaker are more likely to have oil. Another tool is sound waves. Sound


waves travel through

different

kinds of rocks

at different speeds. We

can use them


to find the rocks that have oil in them.


We need a lot of oil, and we are using up the oil wells we know about. Soon we


must find new ways of looking for this

From this passage, we can know oil is a source of energy.

Passage 3


One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice


and

monkeys.

The

scientists

in

this

laboratory

are

experimenting

on

mice.

They

are


studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred


experiments are being done in this laboratory.


In

one

of

these

experiments,

the

scientists

are

studying

the

relationship

between


the

amount

of

food

the

mice

eat

and

their

health.

The

mice

are

in

three

groups.

All


three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each


group

is

receiving

is

different.

The

first

group

is

eating

one

cup

of

food

each

day,


the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three


cups.


After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup


of

food

each

day.

The

mice

in

this

group

are

thinner

than

normal

mice.

But

they

are


more

active.

Most

of

the

day,

they

are

running,

playing

with

one

another,

and

using


the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for


two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.


The

second

group

of

mice

is

normal

weight.

They

are

healthy,

too.

They

are

active,


but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years,


not the three years or more of the thinner mice.


The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most


of

the

day,

these

mice

are

eating

or

sleeping.

They

are

not

very

active.

These

mice


are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they


aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.

scientists

in

the

laboratory

Passage 4


Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city


to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use. If we kept


these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.


In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside the city to a dump.


Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The


kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage

(污水,排水)


system.

The

sewage

system

takes

away

the

used

water

from

toilets,

bathtubs

and

other


places.


To

keep

mice

and

flies

away,

some

earth

is

used

to

cover

the

newly

dumped

rubbish.


Later,

grass

may

be

planted

on

the

rubbish-filled

land.

Finally,

a

house

or

a

school


may

be

built

there,

and

then

you'd

never

know

that

this

had

once

been

an

old

rubbish


dump.


In

other

cities

the

rubbish

is

burnt

in

special

places.

The

fire

burns

everything


except the mes the metal can be used again in factories where things


are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they


slowly

change

into

something

called

humus

(腐殖质)

,

which

looks

like

black

earth.


It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.

Passage 5


Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that


trees

do

communicate

with

each

other.

Not

long

ago,

researchers

learned

some


surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (


) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they


got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the


tree

sent

out

a

special

smell--a

signal

causing

its

neighbors

to

change

the

chemistry


of their own leaves and make them less tasty.


Communication,

of

course,

doesn't

need

to

be

in

words.

We

can

talk

to

each

other


by

smiling,

raising

our

shoulders

and

moving

our

hands.

We

know

that

birds

and

animals


use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals,


flying

in

certain

patterns

that

tell

other

bees

where

to

find

nectar

(

花蜜

)

for

honey.


So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending message?

computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn't


work

well.

If

one

computer

in

the

stopped.

part

of

the

network

was

not

working

information

could


be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on


working on the time.


At

first the

Internet was only used by

the government

but

in the early 1 970s


universities

hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However

computers


were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of


the

1990s

computers

became

cheaper

and

easier

to

use.

Scientists

had

also

developed


software that made


Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the

Passage 2


In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in


the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having


breakfast,

the

time

of

the

call

shows

that

the

matter

is

very

important

and

requires


immediate

attention.

The

same

meaning

is

attached

to

telephone

calls

made

after

11:00


p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter


of

life

or

death.

The

time

chosen

for

the

call

communicates

its

importance.

In

social


life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are


not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or


four

days

before

the

party

date.

But

it

is

not

true

in

all

countries.

In

other

areas


of

the

world,

it

may

be

considered

foolish

to

make

an

appointment

too

far

in

advance


because

plans

which

are

made

for

a

date

more

than

a

week

away

tend

to

be

forgotten.


The

meaning

of

time

differs

in

different

parts

of

the

world.

Thus,

misunderstandings


arise

between

people

from

different

cultures

that

treat

time

differently.

Promptness


is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may


be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think


of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A


person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps


he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)


16.

What is the main idea of this passage? __________


A.

It

is

not

customary

to

telephone

someone

in

the

morning

and

in

sleeping

hours


in the U.S.


B. The role of time in social life over the world.


C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully


responsible in the U.S.


D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.


17.

What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her


sleeping hours? __________


A. A matter of work.

B. A matter of life or death.


C. You want to see him or her.

D.

You

want

to

make

an

appointment


with him or her.


18.

Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment


with your friend? __________


A. at 7: 00 am.

B. at 4:00 pm.

C. at the midnight.

D.


at 4:00 am.


19.

Which

of

the

following

statements

is

true

according

to

the

passage?


__________


A. In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation


to

a

dinner

party

is

extended

only

three

or

four

days

before

the

party

date.


B.

There

is

no

misunderstanding

arising

between

people

from

different

cultures


about the concept of time.


C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the


U.S.A..


D. Promptness is valued highly in American life.


20.

From the passage we can safely infer that __________.


A. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time


B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world


C.

it

makes

no

difference

in

the

U.S.

whether

you

are

early

or

late

for

a

business


party


D. if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation

Passage 3


A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is


in

a

rush-often

under

pressure.

City

people

appear

always

to

be

hurrying

to

get

where


they

are

going

restlessly,

seeking

attention

in

a

store,

and

elbowing

others

as

they


try

to

complete

their

errands

(任务)

.

Racing

through

daytime

meals

is

part

of

the


pace of life in this country.


Working

time

is

considered

precious.

Others

in

public

eating

places

are

waiting


for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the


time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t,


waiters will hurry you.


You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You


will

miss

smiles,

brief

conversations,

and

small

courtesies

with

strangers.

Don’t


take

it

personally.

This

is

because

people

value

time

highly,

and

they

resent

someone


else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.


The

view

of

time

affects

the

importance

we

attach

to

patience.

In

the

American


system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be


called

“a

short

fuse.”

We

begin

to

move

restlessly

about

if

we

feel

time

is

slipping


away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those


coming

from

lands

where

time

is

looked

upon

differently

may

find

this

matter

of

pace


to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.


Many

newcomers

to

the

States

will

miss

the

opening

courtesy

of

a

business

call,


for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup


of

tea

or

coffee

they

may

be

traditional

in

their

own

country.

They

may

miss

leisurely


business chats in a café or coff

eehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their


visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out


evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through


social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than


socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)


21.

Which of the following statements is wrong? __________


A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.


B. Americans attach less importance to patience.


C. Ame

ricans don’t care much about ritual socializing.


D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.


22.

In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means __________.


A. a less important thing

B. a first concern


C. a good business

D. an attractive gift


23.

Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.


A. through social courtesy

B.

through

prolonged

business


talks


C. by establishing business relations

D.

by

learning

about

their


past performance


24.

This passage mainly talks about __________.


A. how Americans treasure their time

B.

how

busy

Americans

are


every day


C. how Americans do business with foreigners

D. what American way of life


is like


25.

We

can

infer

from

the

passage

that

the

author’s

tone

in

writing

is


___________.


A. critical

B. ironical

C. appreciative

D.


objective

Maria

angry,

but

she

was

very

polite.

And

in

her

best

English

she

said,

Passage 5


There

are

three

kinds

of

goals:

short- term,

medium-range

and

long- term

goals.


Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which


we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two


weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no


stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without


the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals,


we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on


those that have been completed.


The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They


might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could


even

extend

for

several

years.

Any

time

you

move

a

step

at

a

time,

you

should

never


allow

yourself

to

become

discouraged

or

overwhelmed.

As

you

complete

each

step,

you


will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of


completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.


Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five


years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal


to limit us or our course of action.(221 words)


16.

Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.


A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goals

B.

If

we

complete

the


short-term goals


C. If we have dreams of the future

D.

If

we

put

forward

some


plans


17.

New short- term goals are built upon ____________.


A. a daily basis

B. your achievement in a week


C. current activities

D. the goals that have been


completed


18.

When we complete each step of our goals, ____________.


A. we will win final success

B. we are overwhelmed


C. we should build up confidence of success

D.

we

should

have

strong


desire for setting new goals


19.

What is the main idea of this passage? ____________


A Life is a dynamic thing.

B.

we

should

set

up

long-term


goals


C. Different kinds of goals in life.

D.

The

limitation

of


long-term goals.


20.

Which

of

the

following

statements

is

wrong

according

to

the

passage?


____________


A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of


solid short-term goals


B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.


C.

Life

is

a

static

thing,

thus

we

should

never

allow

a

long-term

goal

to

limit


us or our course of action.


D.

We

should

often

add

new

short- term

goals

to

those

which

have

been

completed.

Passage 6


Britain and

France are separated by

the English

Channel, a body of water that


can

be

crossed

in

as

few

as

20

minutes.

But

the

cultures

of

the

two

countries

sometimes


seem to be miles apart.


th


Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100

anniversary

(周年纪念)


of

the

signing

of

a

friendship

agreement

called

the

Entente

Cordiality.

The

agreement


marked

a

new

beginning

for

the

countries

following

centuries

of

wars

and

love-hate


partnership.


But

their

relationship

has

been

ups

and

downs

over

the

past

century.

Just

last


year,

there

were

fierce

disagreements

over

the

Iraq

war-which

British

Prime

Minister


Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against


it.

This

discomfort

is

expressed

in

Blair

and

Chirac’s

body

langua

ge

at


international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor


Gerhard

Schroeder

with

a

hug

(拥抱)

,

Blair

just

receives

a

handshake.

However,

some


political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.


The

history

of

divisions

may

well

be

because

of

the

very

different

ways

in

which


the

two

sides

see

the

world.

But

this

doesn’t

stop

12

million

Britons

taking

holidays


in

France

each

year.

However,

only

3

million

French

come

in

the

opposite

direction.


Surveys

(调查)

show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they


do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a


third

of

the

population

believes

the

French

can

be

trusted.

Perhaps

this

bad

feeling


comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Ge

rmany, or


because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.


Whatever

the

answer

is,

as

both

sides

celebrate

100

years

of

“doubtful


friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one:


What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English


Channel. (320 words)



21.

For

centuries,

the

relationship

between

Britain

and

France

is

____________.


A. friendly

B. impolite

C. brotherly

D.

a

mixture


of love and hate


22.

The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and


Britain.


A. good

B. harm


C. neither good nor harm

D. both good and harm


23.

The British are not so friendly to ____________ and the French are not so


friendly to ____________.


A. Germany; America

B. America; Germany


C. Germany; Germany

D. America; America


24.

____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________.


A. American people…Britain

B. British people … Germany


C. French people … Britain

D. British peop

le … France


25.

What does the last sentence mean?


A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form


between France and Britain.


B.

The

English

Channel

can

prevent

anything

unfriendly

happening

in

both

France


and Britain.


C.

France

and

Britain are

near

neighbors,

and

this

will

help

balance

the


relationship between them.


D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.

Passage 7


Community is an important component of education here at our university. We


encourage

all

students

to

volunteer

for

at

least

one

community

activity

before

they


graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students


who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it


because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math


and English.


You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to


help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could


do a half hour of each subject two days a week.


Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors

he’ll be available to


help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office


hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with


him and begin the tutoring next week.


I’m

sure

you’ll

enjoy

this

community

and

you’ll

gain

valuable

experience


at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had


experience

with

children and that you care a

bout your community. If you’d like to


sign

up,

or

if

you

have

any

questions,

stop

by

Professor

Dodge’s

office

this

week.

Passage 8


When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they


did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a


furnished

apartment

or

to

buy

used

furniture.

But

they

soon

learned

about

a

new

system


that more and more people are using.

The renting of home

furnishings (bed, tables,


dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.


What

kinds

of

people

rent

their

home

furnishings

instead

of

buying

them?

People


who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline


workers,

young

married

couple

people

whose

job

or

business

may

force

them

to

move


frequently

from

one

city

to

another.

They

save

a

lot

of

trouble

and

the

cost

of

moving


their

furniture

each

time.

They

simply

rent

new

furniture

when

they

reach

their

new


homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they


may

soon

dislike.

They

prefer

to

wait

until

they

have

enough

money

to

buy

furniture


that

they

really

like.

Meanwhile,

they

find

they

can

rent

better

furniture


than they could afford to buy.


One

family,

who

now

have

a

large,

beautiful

home

of

their

own,

liked

their

rented


furniture

so

much

that

they

decided

to

keep

renting

it

instead

of

buying

new

things.


But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home


furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might


think. (248words)

Passage 9


Paper is one

of the most important products ever invented by

man.

Wide

spread


use

of

written

language

would

not

have

been

possible

without

some

cheap

and

practical


material

to

write

on.

The

invention

of

paper

meant

that

more

people

could

be

educated


because

more

books

could

be

printed

and

distributed.

Together

with

the

printing

press,


paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.


How

much

paper

do

you

use

every

year?

Probably

you

cannot

answer

that

question


quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person


a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a


year.

Countries

like

the

United

States,

England

and

Sweden

use

more

paper

than

other


countries.


Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In


Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The


Egyptians

wrote

on

a

kind

of

material

made

of

a

water

plant.

Europeans

used

parchment


for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of


certain

young

animals.

We

have

learnt

of

the

most

important

facts

of

European

history


from records that were kept on parchment. (208words)

the

use

of

American

National

Flag,

and

to

ensure


proper

respect

for

the

flag.

Custom

has

also

governed

the

common

practice

in

to its use. All the armeds have precise regulations on how to display the national


flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be


raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfolded the


flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly

Passage 11


It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime


serial

drama known as

the soap opera

has suddenly become “in”.

Between the hours


of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera


fans

who

can’t

wait

to

see

the

next

episod

e

in

the

lives

of

their

favorite


characters.


Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite.


When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young


working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give


up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young


people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now.


It

was

a

time

of

seriousness,

and

talk

was

about

social

issues

of

great

importance.


Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It


may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing


trouble

in

people’s

lives.

But

soap

opera

is

enjoyment.

Young

people

can

identi

fy


with

the

soap

opera

character,

who,

like

the

college-age

viewer,

is

looking

for

happy


love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to


feel

close

to

people

without

having

to

bear

any

responsibility

for

their

problems.


16. What is soap opera?


A. Plays based on science fiction stories.

B.

Plays

based

on


non-fiction stories.


C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.

D. Popular documentary films on


TV.


17. What can be the best title of the passage?


A. College student viewers.

B. Favorite TV serials.


C. Soap opera fans.

D. College-age viewers.


18. Which are not

the reasons why the soap opera suddenly becomes “in” according


to the passage?


A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.


B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.


C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.


D.

Because

the

young

people

have

to

bear

the

responsibilities

for

their

troubles.


19. What can learn from the passage?


A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.


B. Young people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.


C.

Young

viewers

have

turned

themselves

from

the

seriousness

of

sixties

to


enjoyment now.


D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.


20. What message does the author want to convey to us?


A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.


B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with t

he times.


C. The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.


D. The people’s favorites have changed the drama works.

Passage 12


How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of


language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow


invented

certain

sounds

to

express

thought

and

feelings,

actions

and

things,

so

that


they

could

communicate

with

each

other;

and

that

later

they

agreed

upon

certain

signs,


called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could


be

written

down.

Those

sounds,

whether

spoken

or

written

in

letters,

we

call

words.


The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up


before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the


longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our


past;

and

the

more

we

read

and

learn,

the

more

the

number

of

words

that

mean

something


increases.


Great

writers

are

those

who

not

only

have

great

thoughts

but

also

express

these


thoughts

in

words

which

appeal

powerfully

to

our

minds

and

emotions.

This

charming


and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet


is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and


which by their position

and association

can move men to tears. We should therefore


learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our


speech silly and vulgar.


21. The origin of language is _______.


A. a legend handed down from the past

B.

a

matter

that

is

hidden

or


secret


C. a question difficult to answer

D. a problem not yet solved


22. What is true about words?


A. They are used to express feelings only.

B.

They

can

not

be


written down.


C. They are simply sounds.

D. They are mysterious.


23. The real power of words lies in their _______.


A. properties

B. characteristics


C. peculiarity

D. representative function


24. By “association”, the a

uthor means _______.


A. a special quality

B.

a

joining

of

ideas

in

the

mind


C. an appearance which is puzzling

D. a strange feature


25. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?


A. He is no more than a master of words.


B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.


C. He can move men to tears.


D. His style is always charming.

Passage 13


Many

people

who

work

in

London

prefer

to

live

outside

it,

and

to

go

in

to

their


offices

or

schools

every

day

by

train,

car

or

bus,

even

though

this

means

they

have


to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.


One

advantage

of

living

outside

London

is

that

houses

are

cheaper.

Even

a

small


flat

in

London

without

a

garden

costs

quite

a

lot

to

rent.

With

the

same

money,

one


can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.


Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy


working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains


or

buses,

one

can

sleep

better

at

night

and

during

weekends

and

on

summer

evenings,


one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can


spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and on

e


other

jobs

which

are

needed

in

a

garden.

Then,

when

the

flowers

and

vegetables

come


up,

one

has

got

the

reward

together

with

those

who

have

shared

the

secret

of

Nature.


Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness


lies in

the town,

with

its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops

and busy streets,


dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth


living

if

they

had

to

live

it

outside

London.

An

occasional

walk

in

one

of

the

parks


and

a

fortni

ght’s

(two

weeks)

visit

to

the

sea

every

summer

is

all

the

country

they


want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away


from London every night.


11. Which of the following statements is NOT true?


A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.


B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.


C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.


D.

Many

nature

lovers,

though

working

in

London,

prefer

to

live

outside

the

city.


12.

With

the

same

money

needed

for

_______,

one

can

buy

a

little

house

with

a

garden


in the country.


A. getting a small flat with a garden

B.

having

a

small

flat

with

a


garden


C. renting a small flat without a garden

D.

buying

a

small

flat


without a garden


13. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded.


A. living in the country

B. having spent time working in


the garden


C. having a garden of his own

D. having been digging,

planting


and watering


14.

People

who

think

happiness

lies

in

the

city

life

feel

that

_______

if

they


had to live outside London.


A. their life was meaningless

B. their life was invaluable


C. they didn’t deserve a happy life

their happy life


15. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _______.

Passage 14


By

definition,

heroes

and

heroines

are

men

and

women

distinguished

by

uncommon


courage,

achievements,

and

self- sacrifice

made

most

for

the

benefits

of

others-they


are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for


shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those


who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and


heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond


us

an

artifact

of

the

past.

Some

maintain,

that

because

the

Cold

War

is

over

and


because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore,


the

overall

crime

rate

is

down,

poverty

has

been

eased

by

a

strong

and

growing

economy,


and advances continue to be made in medical science.


Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are


people who manage to go beyond celebrity

(明星)

, who are legendary, who somehow


manage

to

become

mythic.

But

what

makes

some

figures

icons

and

others

mere


celebrities?

That’s

hard

to

answer.

In

part,

their

lives

have

the

quality

of

a

story


to

tell.

For

instance,

the

beautiful

young

Diana

Spencer

who

at

19

married

a

prince,


renounced

marriage

and

the

throne,

and

died

at

the

moment

she

found

true

love.

Good


looks

certainly

help.

So

does

a

special

indefinable

charm,

with

the

help

of

the

media.


But

nothing

confirms

an

icon

more

than

a

tragic

death

such

as

Martin

Luther

King,


Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.


16. The passage mainly deals with _______.


A. life and death

B. heroes and heroines

D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.


19. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______.


A. when she was 19

B. when she became a princess


C. just before her death

D.

after

she

gave

birth

to

a


prince


20. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?


A. Good looks.

B. Tragic and early death.


C. Personal attraction.

D.

The

quality

of

one’s


story.

Passage 15


Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people


are

anxious

and

self-conscious;

that

is,

they

are

excessively

concerned

with

their


own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their


minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am


I wearing unattractive clothes?


It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people.


A

person’s

conception

of

himself

or

herself

is

reflected

in

the

way

he

or

she

behaves,


and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the


way

people

think

about

themselves

has

a

profound

effect

on

all

areas

of

their

lives.


Shy

people,

having

low

self-esteem,

are

likely

to

be

passive

and

easily


influenced

by

others.

They

need

reassurance

that

they

are

doing

“the

right

thing.”


Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings


of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a


statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know


it’s not true.” It is clear that while self

-awareness is a healthy quality,


overdoing it is harmful.


Can

shyness

be

completely

eliminated,

or

at

least

reduced?

Fortunately,

people


can

overcome

shyness

with

determined

and

patient

efforts

in

building

self-confidence.


Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for


people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.


Each

one

of

us

is

a

unique,

worthwhile

individual,

interested

in

our

own

personal


ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our


full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and


fulfilling life.



21. What d

oes the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I


making?”


A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.


B.

People’s

shyness

made

them

care

too

much

about

their

appearance

and

actions.


C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.


D. Shy people think they are different from others.


22. According to the writer, self- awareness is _______.


A. a good quality

B. the cause of unhappiness


C. harmful to people

D. a weak point of shy people


23. When being praised, shy people feel that it is _______.


A. good

B. unreal

C. very reasonable

D.


harmful


24. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?


A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.


B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.


C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.


D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.


25. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.


A. should find more of their weakness


B. should understand themselves in the right way


C. had better ignore their weakness


D. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem
