Passage 1
Almost
every
family
buys
as
least
one
copy
of
a
newspaper
every
day.
Some
people
subscribe to as many
as two or three different newspapers. But why do
people read newspapers?
Five
hundred
years
ago,
news
of
important
happenings
—
battles
lost
and
won,
kings
or
rulers
overthrown or killed
—
took
months and even years to travel from one country
to another.
The news passed by word of
mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in
our newspapers
of important events that
occur in far away countries on the same day they
happen.
Apart from supplying news from
all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of
other useful
information.
There
are
weather
reports,
radio,
television
and
film
guides,
book
reviews,
stories,
and of course, advertisements. The
bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring
attention to
their products. They pay
the newspapers thousands of dollars for the
advertising space, but it is
worth the
money for news of their products to go into almost
every home in the country. For those
who
produce
newspapers,
advertisements
are
also
very
important.
Money
earned
from
advertisements makes it possible for
them to sell their newspapers at a low price and
still make a
profit.
1
. The phrase “subscribe to”
in the first paragraph means
.
A. go to the newspaper stand and buy
B. send their own news stories to
C. agree to buy for a
specific period of time
D. become
faithful readers of
2. The habit of
reading newspapers is
.
A. widespread
B. found among
a few families
C. not popular
D. uncommon
3. Before the time of the newspaper,
.
A. bad news traveled quickly and good
news slowly
B. few people cared about
events that took place in far away countries
C. kings and rulers were often
overthrown or killed
D. news was passed
from one person to another
4. The
author seems to agree that money spent on
advertisements is
.
A. wasted
B.
not much
C. well spent
D. of no use to
anyone
5. Which of the following
statements is true?
A. Five hundred
years ago it took a long time for news to reach
other countries.
B. Newspaper
advertisements turn people’s attention away from
their products.
C. The news
that we read in newspapers is mainly about new
products.
D. When newspapers are sold
at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose
money.
Passage 2
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

fastest
growing businesses.
What kinds of
people rent their home furnishings instead of
buying them? People who are
international
businessmen
or
government
officials,
foreign
students,
airline
workers,
young
married couples
—
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 they
really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent
better quality
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.
6
. Which of the following
has become one of America’s fastest growing
businesses?
A. Selling home furnishings.
B. Renting
furnished apartments.
C. Selling used furniture.
D. Renting home
furnishings.
7. Why do some people
prefer to rent furniture?
A. Because the furniture
they get in this way is new.
B. Because it saves them a
lot of money.
C. Because it saves them much trouble
and money.
D.
Because they can always get better quality
furniture in this way.
8. What can you
infer from the passage?
A. The idea of renting
furniture is not acceptable.
B. Renting furniture is
still not popular with the majority of Americans.
C. Only those
who don’t have enough money rent
furniture.
D. People usually grow to like the
furniture they have rented.
9. Which of
the following can best serve as the title of the
passage?
A. Rent or Buy?
B.
A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings
C. Furnished Apartments
D. A New Idea
10. Young people like renting home
furniture in that_________
A. They have less money.
B. They don’t want to buy
old furniture.
C. The new furniture is of good
quality.
D. They don’t have much money
and don’t want to buy the cheap
furniture.
Passage 3
Spending
50
minutes
with
a
cell
phone
close
to
your
ear
is
enough
to
change
brain
cell
activity in the part of
the brain closest to the
antenna(
天线
). But whether
that causes any harm is
not clear,
scientists at the National Institute of Health
said at a conference last month, adding that
the study will not likely settle
concerns of
a link between cell phones
and brain cancer. “What we

showed is glucose

)
metabolism(
代谢
)(a sign of
brain activity) increases in the brain in
people who were exposed to a cell phone
in the area closest to the antenna,” said
Dr.
Nora V
olkow,
whose study was published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association. The
study was
meant
to
examine
how
the
brain
reacts
to <
/p>
electromagnetic(
电磁的
)
fields
caused
by
wireless
phone
signals.
V
olkow
said
she
was
surprised
that
the
weak
electromagnetic
radiation(
辐射
)
from
cell
phones
could affect brain activity, but she said the
findings do not shed any light on whether cell
phones
cause
cancer.
“This
study
does
not
in
any
way
indicate
that
.
What
the
study
does
is
to
show the human brain is
sensitive to electromagnetic radiation
from cell phone exposures.” Use of
the
devices has increased dramatically since they were
introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5
billion cell phones now in use
worldwide.
Some
studies
have
linked
cell
phone
exposure
to
an
increased
risk
of
brain
cancers,
but
a
large study
by the World Health Organization did not offer a
clear answer to this. Volkow’s team
studied 47 people who had their brain
examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50
minutes
and
another
while
the
phone
was
turned
off.
While
there
was
no
complete
change
in
brain
metabolism, they found a 7 percent
increase in brain metabolism in the region closest
to the cell
phone antenna when the
phone was on.
Experts said the results were
interesting, but urged that they be understood
with great care.
“Although the
biological significance, if any, of increased
glucose metabolism from too much cell
phone exposure is unknown, the results
require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the
University
of Washington in the U.S.
and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in
Sweden, wrote in an
article in JAMA.
“Much has to be done to further investigate and
understand these effects.” They
wrote.
11. According to the passage, which of
the following is TRUE?
A. Cell phone
use is dangerous.
B. Cell phone use
causes cancer.
C. The human brain is an
electromagnetic field.
D. There are
about 5 billion cell phone users in the world
right now.
12. Doctor Volkow was
astonished because ______.
A. her research has shed light on her
understanding of cell phone
B. she found that cell
phone exposure is harmful to human brain
C. she
found
that
using
a
cell
phone
for
about
50
minutes
could
influence
or
change
brain
activity
D. human brain is not responsive to
electromagnetic radiation
13. According

_______
。

B. between 1980
and 1985
C. in

Passage 4
Millions of
hamburgers are eaten by people in every corner of
the world every day. Together
with hot
dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most
important American contribution
to
international eating habits.
The name “hamburger” has nothing to do
with ham(
火腿
). It is believed
that the hamburger
was
first
brought
to
the
United
States
by
Germans
from
the
city
of
Hamburg
sometime
in
the
first known reference to hamburgers
was in a newspaper in Washington State in 1889.
From then on the hamburger became a
kind of popular American fast food.
Now
young
people
in
Asia,
Europe
and
South
America
have
learned
to
eat
while
on
the
move, a hamburger in one
hand and a soft drink in the other. There have
been angry complains
from Italy and
Spain about the shortening of the usual lunch
break. Instead, young people have
discovered a lunch for which they don’t
have to stop at all.
However, there are
clouds
over the hamburger’s world. People who concern
about health
dislike the high animal
fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved
seems a high price to pay
for
poor
health.
The
packages
in
which
hamburgers
are
usually
served
are
causing
serious
pollution problems
in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are
destroying large areas of
South
American
rainforest
to
produce
the
cheap
meat
they
need.
So,
will
the
hamburger
celebrate its next century?
16.
In which way
do hamburgers change people’s
eating
habits?
A.
People can have their meals at any time
of the day.
B.
They can be served in any restaurant.
C.
People can have them with soft drinks.
D.
Meal time can be greatly reduced.
17.
The hamburger, as a kind of popular
American fast food, ______________.
A.
has a history
of over one hundred years
B.
was brought to
Europe in the 1850
C.
is usually eaten with the hot dog
D.
is
better served in Hamburg
18.
Which of the
following is TRUE, according to the passage?
A.
Young people in Europe don’t stop to
buy hamburgers
.
B.
It is
suggested that hamburgers be eaten with both
hands.
C.
Some people in Europe don’t like to
reduce their lunch break
.
D.
Young people
in many countries are learning how to eat in their
cars.
19.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE,
according to the passage?
A.
You don’t need
ham to make a Hamburger.

Passage 5
Acting
is
such
an
over-crowded
profession
that
the
only
advice
that
should
be
given
to
a
young person thinking of going on the
stage is “Don’t!” But it is useless to discourage
someone
who feels that he must act,
although the chances of his becoming famous are
slim.
The normal
way to
begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only
students who show promise and talent are
accepted, and the course lasts two
years. Then the
young actor
or actress takes up work with a
theatrical company, usually as
assistant stage manager. This means doing
everything that there is
to do in the
theatre and occasionally acting in very small
parts. It is very hard work indeed; the
hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course, some people have remarkable
chances which lead to fame and success without
this
long
and
hard
training.
Connie
Pratt,
for
example,
was
just
an
ordinary
girl
working
in
a
bicycle factory. A film producer
happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting
at a bus stop,
as he drove past in his
car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.
He asked if she would like
to go to the
film studio to do a test, and she thought he was
joking. Then she got angry and said
she
would
call
the
police.
It
took
the
producer
twenty
minutes
to
convince
Connie
that
he
was
serious.
The
test
was
successful.
And
within
a
few
weeks
she
was
playing
the
leading
part
opposite one of the most famous actors
of the day. But chances like this happen once in a
blue
moon!
21. From the very
beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting
is a profession
.
A.
sought after by too many
B. too difficult for young
people
C. for slim people only
D.
one can go into without special training
22. For someone who feels he must act,
it is very likely that
.
A. he will
become a film star at long last
B. he will become a stage manager
C. he will be well-paid
D.
he will end up without any success
23.
The film producer found Connie when she was
.
A. at work in a bicycle factory
B.
driving past him in her car
C. going to
a film studio
D. waiting for
a bus
24. A few weeks after the test,
Connie Pratt found herself
.
A. the most
famous actress of the world
B.
playing the leading female role in a play
C. as famous as the greatest actor of
the world

_.
A. this is something which happens once
in a while
B. this is a highly
profitable chance
C. this is something
highly possible
D. this is a very rare
chance
Passage 6
Have you ever argued with your loved
ones over simple misunderstandings? Little wonder.
We often believe we’re more skillful in
getting our point across than we actually are,
according to
Boza
Keysar,
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Chicago.
In
his
recent
study,
speakers
tried
to
express their meanings using unclear
sentences. Speakers who thought listeners
understood were
wrong nearly half the
time. Here’s some good advice to reduce
misunderstanding:
1. Don’t
trust what you see from the listener. Listeners
often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh”
to
be
polite
or
move
the
conversation
along.
But
it’s
easy
to
consider
these
as
signs
of
understanding.
2. Train the editor in your head. If
you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her
husband,”
it’s not clear whether she’s
talking to her husband or about him. Try instead,
“Beth talks to her
husband about her
problems.” or “Beth talks to others about the
problems with her husband.”
3. Ask listeners to repeat your
message. Introduce your request by saying “I want
to be sure I
said
that
right.”
Questions
like
“How
does
that
sound?”
or
“Does
that
make
sense?”
may
also
work.
4. Listen well. When on the
receiving end, ask questions to be sure
you’re on the same page
.
After all, it isn’t just the speaker’s
job to make his speech understood.
26. Why does the writer give the advice
to reduce misunderstanding?
A. We’re not skillful enough to make
clear sentences.
B.
Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.
C. Misunderstanding occurs
now and then.
D. It’s
impolite to say NO to others.
27. The writer suggests that when
talking to others, the speaker should ______.
A. know that listeners will
show him that they understand his words
B. express himself clearly even when he
sees signs of understanding
C. notice
listener’s signs of understanding
D. look directly into his
listener’s eyes
28. By training the editor in his head,
the speakers are advised _______.
A. to get themselves trained by a good
editor
B. to discuss problems with
their husbands or wives
C. to express
themselves in long but simple sentences
D. to make sure each sentence has only
one meaning
2
9.
In the last paragraph, the words “you’re on the
same page” mean that ______.
A. you’re following the speakers
closely
B. you’re reading
the same page as the speaker does

A. the Danger of
Misunderstanding
B. the Secret of a
Successful Marriage
C. Be a Good Listener

Some Tips to Avoid Misunderstanding
Passage 7
During
the meal, you’d better be careful not to leave a
spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or
any other dish. The coffee spoon ought
to be on the saucer, the soup spoon ought to be on
the plate
under the bowl. When you are
having soup, make the least noises and use the
side of your spoon
inside out, not the
tip. And you mustn’t pick up your soup bowls so as
to drink away the last drops
of your
soup from the bottom of the bowl.
V
ery often there is only one
main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If
you find the
meal
not
enough,
say
“Oh,
it’s
delicious!”
and
ask
for
some
more
of
the
chicken
or
steak
or
whatever
you have just had. The hostess will be very glad
that you appreciate her cooking and will
g
ive you an extra portion.
But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite
and say “No, thank
you” when the
hostess offers you more, you will most probably
starve later, because Americans
will
never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to
keep silent and not to talk with the person next
to you. It would be considered good
manners if you handle your silverware with care so
that they
don’t make any noise. When
coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee
spoon should rest
on the saucer while
you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is
rarely seen at a dinner table. Well,
when the meal is finished, the guests
put their napkins on the table and stand up, the
men again
helping the ladies with their
chairs.
After the dinner, the
guests usually stay f
or an hour or two,
then they would say, “well, I’m
afraid
I must be going now.” The host and hostess would
of course urge everyone to stay longer.
“What, already? Won’t you have another
coffee?” The guests, for instance, would say, “I
love to,
but I have to be up early
tomorrow. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening.
Good-
night.”
And
if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will
be courteous to send a thank-you note
to the host or hostess the following
day, very often with a small gift such as a box of
chocolate or
some flowers as a
token(
象征
) of appreciation of
their hospitality (
好客
).

Passage 8
At the
University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested
the effect of different colored walls
on two groups of visitors to an exhibit
of paintings. For the first group the room was
painted white;
for the second, dark
brown. Movement of each group was followed by an
electrical device under
the
carpet.
The
experiment
showed
that
those
who
entered
the
dark
brown
room
walked
more
quickly, covered more
area, and spent less time in the room than people
in the white one. Dark
brown made
people more active, but the activity ended sooner.
Not only the choice of colors but
also
the general appearance of a room affects those
inside. Another experiment presented people
with photographs of faces whose energy
was to be commented. Three groups of people were
used;
each was shown the same photos,
but each group stayed in different rooms. The
first group was in
an
ugly
room.
The
second
group
was
in
an
ordinary
room
—
a
nice
office.
The
third
was
in
a
tastefully
designed
living
room
with
carpeting.
Results
showed
that
the
people
in
the
beautiful
room tend to give
higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly
room did. Other studies show
that
students do better on tests taken in comfortable
rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.
36. Which of the following best
expresses the main idea of this passage?
A. People in beautiful rooms tend to
give higher marks to photos of faces than people
in ugly
rooms.
B. The color and general appearance of
a room have a deep effect on the behavior of the
people
in it.
C.
The University of Kansas has studied the effects
of the color of room on people’s
behavior.
D.
Beautifully
furnished,
light-colored
rooms
make
people
more
comfortable
than
ugly,
dark
rooms.
37. According to the passage, we may
conclude that the whiter a room is ________.
A. the longer people like
to stay in it
B. the sooner
people in it will leave
C.
the more active people in it will become
D. the more excited people
in it are
38
.
What is referred to as the “general appearance” in
this passage is ________.
