）
,
you may lick your finger and
（

a

Another
common
（

）
is

（

）
.

,
as it inevitably brings rain!
The number 13 is said to be
unlucky for some, and when the 13th day of the

）
on

avoid
a
bad
event
had
better
stay

）

bad
luck!
The
superstition
is
supposed
to

）
in
ancient
times, when
mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.
Black cats are
generally considered lucky in Britain, even though
they are
（
47
）
witchcraft......
it
is
（
48
）
lucky
if

cat
crosses
your
path-although
in America the
exact opposite belief prevails.
Finally,
a
commonly
held
superstition
is
that
of
touching
wood

COMPREHENSION
TEXT A
In
the
case
of
mobile
phones,
change
is
everything.
Recent
research
indicates
that
the
mobile
phone
is
changing
not
only
our
culture,
but
our
very
bodies
as
well.
First.
Let's
talk
about
culture.
The
difference
between
the
mobile
phone
and
its parent, the fixed-line phone, you
get whoever answers it.
This
has
several
implications.
The
most
common
one,
however,
and
perhaps
the
thing
that has changed our culture forever, is the
longer
need
to
make
firm
plans
about
when
and
where
to
meet.
Twenty
years
ago,
a
Friday
night
would
need
to
be
arranged
in
advance.
You
needed
enough
time
to
allow
everyone
to get from their
place of work to the first meeting place. Now,
however, a night
out can be arranged on
the run. It is no longer
around 8 and
we'll see where we all are
Texting changes people as well. In
their paper,
and
Psychological
Effects
of
SMS
Text
Messaging
two
British
researchers
distinguished
between
two
types
of
mobile
phone
users:
the
and
the
who
prefer
voice
to
text
message
and
those
who
prefer
text
to
voice.
They found that the mobile
phone's individuality and privacy gave texters
the ability to express a whole new
outer personality. Texters were likely to
report
that
their
family
would
be
surprised
if
they
were
to
read
their
texts.
This
suggests
that texting
allowed texters to present a self-image that
differed from the one
familiar to those
who knew them well.
Another scientist wrote of the changes
that mobiles have brought to body
language. There are two kinds that
people use while speaking on the phone. There is
the
the
head is
held high,
in a self-
confident way,
chatting away.
And
there
is
the
these
people
focus
on
themselves
and
keep
out
other
people.
Who
can
blame
them?
Phone
meetings
get
cancelled
or
reformed
and
camera-phones intrude on people's
privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile
makes you nervous. But perhaps you
needn't worry so much. After all, it is good to
talk.
81 when people plan to meet nowadays,
they
A: arrange
the meeting place beforehand
B. postpone fixing the
place till last minute
C: seldom care about when and where to
meet
D: still
love to work out detailed meeting plans.
82 According to
the two British researchers, the social and
psychological
effect are mostly likely
to be seen on
A: TALKERS
B; the
c. the
D. texters
83 We can infer from the passage that
the texts sent by texters are
A: quite revealing
B: well written
c: unacceptable
by others
d;
shocking to others
84 according to the passage ,who is
afraid of being heard while talking on
the mobile
a: talkers
b: the speakeasy
c :the spacemaker
d: texters
85 an
appropriate title for the passage might be
A: the SMS
effect
b:
cultural implication of mobile use
c: change in the use of the
mobile
d: body
language and the mobile phone!
TEXT B
Over
the
last
25
years,
British
society
has
changed
a
great
deal-or
at
least
many
parts
of it have. In some ways,
however, very
little has changed, particularly
where
attitudes
are
concerned.
Ideas
about
social
class-whether
a
person
is
-are
one area in which changes have been extremely
slow.
In
the
past,
the
working-class
tended
to
be
paid
less
than
middle-
class
people,
such
as
teachers
and
doctors.
As
a
result
of
this
and
also
of
the
fact
that
workers'
jobs
were
generally
much
less
secure,
distinct
differences
in
life-styles
and
attitudes came into
existence. The typical working man would collect
his wages on
Friday
evening
and
then,
it
was
widely
believed,
having
given
his
wife
her
The stereotype of what a middle-class
man did with his money was perhaps
nearer
the
truth.
He
was-and
still
is
-
inclined
to
take
a
longer-term
view.
Not
only
did
he
regard
buying
a
house
of
these
provided
him
and
his
family
with
security.
Only
in
very
few
cases
did
workers
have
the
opportunity
（
or
the
education
and
training
）
to make such long-term plans.
Nowadays,
a
great
deal
has
changed.
In
a
large
number
of
cases
factory
workers
earn
as
much,
if
not
more,
than
their
middle-class
supervisors.
Social
security
and
laws to improve century,
have made it less necessary than before to worry
about
Working-class
people
seem
slowly
to
be
losing
the
feeling
of
inferiority
they
had
in
the
past.
In
fact
there
has
been
a
growing
tendency
in
the
past
few
years
for the middle-classes to feel slightly
ashamed of their position.
The
changes
in
both
life-styles
and
attitudes
are
probably
most
easily
seen
amongst younger people. They generally
tend to share very similar tastes in music
and clothes, they spend their money in
having a good time, and save for holidays or
longer-term plans when necessary. There
seems to be much less difference than in
precious generations. Nevertheless, we
still have a wide gap between the well-paid
（
whatever
the
type
of
job
they
may
have
）
and
the
low-paid.
As
long
as
this
gap
exists,
there
will always be a possibility that new conflicts
and jealousies will emerge,
or rather
that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between
different groups.
86, which of the following is seen as
the cause of class differences in the
past?
A: life style and occupation
B: Attitude and
income
C:
income and job security
D: job security and hobbies
87
the
writer
seems
to
suggest
that
the
description
of
--
is
closer
to
truth?
A: middle -class ways of spending money
B: working-
class ways of spending the weekend
C: working-class drinking
habits
D:
middle-class attitudes
88
according
to
the
passage,
which
of
the
following
is
not
a
typical
feature
of the middle -class?
A: desiring for security
B: Making long
term plans
C:
having priorities in life
D: saving money
89 working -class people's sense of
security increased as a resulf of all
the follwoing factor except?
A: better
social security
B: more job opportunities
C: higher living standard
D: better legal
protection.
90
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
A: Changes are
slowly taking place in all sectors of the British
society.
B:
The
gap
between
working
-class
and
middle-
class
young
people
is
narrowing
C: different in income will remain but
those in occupation will disappear
D:
middle-class
people
may
sometimes
feel
inferior
to
working-class
people!
TEXT C
For
several
days
I
saw
little
of
Mr.
Rochester.
In
the
morning
he
seemed
much
occupied
with
business,
and
in
the
afternoon
gentlemen
from
the
neighourhood
called
and some times stayed
to dine with him. When his foot was well enough,
he rode out
a great deal.
During
this
time,
all
my
knowledge
of
him
was
limited
to
occasional
meetings
about
the
house,
when
he
would
sometimes
pass
me
coldly,
and
sometimes
bow
and
smile.
His
changes of manner did not offend me,
because I
saw that I had
nothing to do with
the cause of them.
One
evening,
several
days
later,
I
was
invited
to
talk
to
Mr.
Rochester
after
dinner.
He
was
sitting
in
his
armchair,
and
looked
not
quite
so
severe,
and
much
less
gloomy.
There
was
a
smile
on
his
lips,
and
his
eyes
were
bright,
probably
with
wine.
As
I
was
looking
at
him,
he
suddenly
turned,
and
asked
me,
you
think
I'm
handsome,
Miss
Eyre?
The answer
somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized
it: 'No, sir.
you
really
are
unusual!
You
are
a
quiet,
serious
little
person,
but
you
can be almost rude.
I'm
sorry.
I
should
have
said
that
beauty
doesn't
matter,
or
something
like
that,
me
in
the
back!
You
have
honesty
and
feeling.
There
are
not
many
girls
like
you.
But
perhaps
I
go
too
fast.
Perhaps
you
have
awaful
faults
to
counterbalance
your
few
good
points
I thought to
myself that he might have too. He seemed to read
my mind, and
said
quickly,
yes,
you're
right.
I
have
plenty
of
faults.
I
went
the
wrong
way
when
I was twenty-one, and
have never found the right path again. I might
have been very
different. I might have
been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a
bad man,
take
my
word
for
it,
but
I
have
done
wrong.
It
wasn't
my
character,
but
circumstances
which were to
blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're
the sort of person
people
tell
their
problems
and
secrets
to,
because
you're
sympathetic
and
give
them
hope.
It seemed he had
quite a lot
to talk to me. He didn't seem
to
like to finish
the talk
quickly, as was the case for the first time.
be
afraid
of
me,
Miss
Eyre.
He
continued.
you
don't
relax
or
laugh
very much, perhaps
because of the effect Lowood school has had on
you. But in time
you will be more
natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely.
You're like a bird
in a cage. When you
get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good
night.
