Passage 1

As my train was not due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare.

After

buying .some

magazines

to read

on

the

journey,

I

made

my way

to

the

luggage

office to collect the heavy suitcase. I had left three days before. There were only a few

people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt did

not

seem

to

be where I

had

left

it.

I

emptied

the contents

of

the wallet,

and

railway

tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs tumbled out of it; but no matter how

hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.

2

When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man

looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and

asked me to describe the case, I told him that it was an old, brown

—

looking object no

different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a

form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he

said,

I

could

take

the

case

away. I

tried

to

remember

all

the

artic

les

I

had

hurriedly

packed and wrote them down as they came to me.

After

I

had

done

this, I went to

look

among the shelves.

There were

hundreds

of

cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked

the

receipt

up,

he could

have

easily

claimed

the

case

already.

This

had

not

happened

fortunately, for after a time, I found the case lying on its side high up in a comer. After

examining the articles inside, the assistant was .soon satisfied that it was mine and told

me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. I pulled out

a ten

—

shilling note and the

and glanced up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he

had often seen this happen before too!

1. The writer needed the receipt ____.

A. to claim his suitcase

B. to pay at the luggage office

C. to prove that he had paid at the luggage office

D. to prove that he had bought the suitcase

2. The writer felt foolish because ____.

A. he couldn't find his receipt

B. he hadn't really lost his receipt at all

C. he had to fill in a form

D. the assistant was laughing at him

3. There weren't ______ people waiting at the luggage office.

D. very many

4. 'situation' means

.

A. incident

B. event

C. place

D. position

5. ' wrote them down ' means ____.

Passage

2

The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to

leave

what we

ourselves

enjoy

in

such

good condition

that

others

may

also share

the

enjoyment.

Our forefathers had no idea that human population

would increase faster than the

supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea

3

that

the

treasures

were

and

Most

of

the

citizens

of

earlier

generations knew little or nothing

about the complicated and delicate system that runs

all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of

one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others

Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was

a

new

idea;

timber

was still

cheap

because

it

could

be

brought

in

any

quantity

from

distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody

had yet studied long

—

term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word

For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about

repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part

of everyone's daily life. To know about the water table (

地下水位

) in the ground is just

as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know

why

all

watersheds

need

the

protection

of

plant

life

and

why

the

running

current

of

streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally

escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting

them.

We

need

to

know the

importance

of

big,

mature

trees,

because

living

space for

most of man's fellow creatures on this planet

is figured not only

in square measure of

surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore

as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.

6. The author's altitude towards current situation in the exploitation of natural resources

is

A. critical

B. neutral

C. positive

D. suspicious

7. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that

_____

A. they had no idea about scientific forestry

B. they were not aware of the significance of nature study

C. they had little or no sense of environmental protection

D. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials

8. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that earlier generations didn't realize

A. the importance of the proper use of land

B. the value of the beauty of nature

C. the harmfulness of soil destruction and river floods

D. the interdependence of water, soil, and living things

9. To avoid the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that ______.

A. we plant more trees

B. we return to nature

C. natural sciences be taught to everybody

D. environmental education be directed toward everyone

4

10. What does the author imply by saying

above the earth

A. We need to take some measures to protect space

B. Our living space should measured in cubic volume

C. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller

D. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals

1. Difficulties in

intercultural communication arise when there is little or no awareness

of

divergent

cultural

values

and

beliefs.

In

cross-cultural

interaction,

speakers

sometimes

assume

that

what

they

believe

is

right,

because

they

have

grown

up

thinking

their

way

is

the

best.

This

ethnocentric

assumption

can

result

in

negative

judgments about other cultures. Another manifestation of ethnocentric attitudes is that

people become critical of individuals from different cultures.

2.

Everyone

connected

with

a

business

shares

in

the

risks

o

the

business.

When

a

company goes bankrupt, that is, becomes unable to pay its debts, it causes problems

for many people. It is hard for the employees who may have seek work elsewhere; the

customers

must

look

for

another

place

to

buy

their

products; creditors

usually

lose

some of the money that they have lent to the company. But the entrepreneur takes the

biggest risk. If the business fails, he must pay them up to the limit of his ability to pay.

If

he

is

skillful--- and

lucky---the

money

he

receives

from

his

business

venture will

pay for the land, labor and capital, and there will still be some extra money remaining

for

him. This

extra

money

is

the

profit.

If the

money

he

receives

from

the

business

venture is not enough to pay for all of the costs, the difference is a loss.
