Directions: There are 4 passage in this part . Each passage is followed by some

questions

or

unfinished

statements

.

For

each

of

them

there

are

4

choices

marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer

by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 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 . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like

“he

went pale and

began to

tremble”suggests

that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked

. 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 gesture or expresses strong dislike .

Even in the same culture , people differ in the 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 .

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage .

The

English

policeman

has

several

nicknames

but

the

most

frequently

used

are

“copper”

and

“bobby”.

The first name comes form the verb

“to

cop”

(

which is also slang ) , meaning

“to

take”or

“to

capture”

, and the second

comes form the first name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century politician , who

was the founder of the police force as we know it today . An early nickname for

the policeman was

“peeler”

, but this one has died out .

Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the police seems to be a

favorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the community

where

the

police

are

given

more

derogatory

nicknames

which

originated

in

America

,

such

as

“fuzz”

or

“pig”

.

Visitors

to

England

seem

to

be

very

impressed by the English police . It has , in fact , because standing joke that

the visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of the country , will always

say , at some point or other ,

“I

think your policemen are

wonderful”.

Well , the British bobby not always be wonderful but he is usually a very

friendly and helpful sort of

character . A music-hall song of some

years ago

was

called

“If

You

Want

To

Know

The

Time

,

Ask

A

Policeman

”

.

Nowadays

,

most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions

to ask the policeman . In London , the policeman spend so much of their time

directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to

do anything else .

Two

things

are

immediately

noticeable

to

the

stranger

when

he

sees

an

English

policeman

for

the

first

time .

The

first

is

that

does

not

carry

a

pistol and the second is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear ,

the

policeman’s

helmet . His helmet , together with his height , enables an

English policeman to be time it is suggested that the policeman should be given

a pistol and than his helmet should be taken form him , but both suggestions

are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves .

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .

It

is

difficult

to

imagine

what

life

would

be

like

without

memory .

The

meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we

make

,

and

the

roots

of

our

habits

and

skills

are

to

be

found

in

our

past

experiences , which are brought into the present by memory .

Memory

can

be

defined

as

the

capacity

to

keep

information

available

for

latter

for

later

use

.

It

not

only

includes

“remembering

”

things

like

arithmetic

or

historical

facts

but

also

involves

any

change

in

the

way

an

animal typically behaves . Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain

because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile . Memory is also

involved when a six- year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat .

Memory

exists

not

only

in

humans

and

animals

but

also

in

some

physical

objects

and

machines .

Computers

,

for

example

,

contain

devices

for

storing

data for later use . It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity

of a computer with that of a human being . The instant-access memory of a large

computer may hold up to 100,000

“words”

—

ready for instant use . An average

American

teenager

probably

recognizes

the

meaning

of

about

100,000

words

of

English . However , this is but a fraction of the total amount of information

which the teenager has stored . Consider , for example , the number of faces

and places that the teenager can recognize on sight .

The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence

of human beings . A large part of a

person’s

memory is in terms of words and

combinations of words .

to the passage , memory is considered to be________.

basis for decision making and problem solving

ability to store information for future use

intelligence typically possessed by human beings

data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words

comparison between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a

human being shows that______.

’s

memory has a little bigger capacity than a

teenager’s

’s

memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human

being’s

’s

memory capacity is much smaller even than a

teenager’s

’s

memory capacity is the same as a

teenager’s

is implied in the passage that______.

human beings have problem-solving intelligence

person’s

memory is different from a

computer’s

in every respect

can solve very simple problems

solve problems by instinct rather than intelligence

phrase

“in

term

of”

in

the

last

sentence

can

be

best

replaced

by

“______”

.

connection with

main idea of the passage is________.

life would be like without memory

is of vital importance to life

a

person’s

memory is different form an

animal’s

or a

computer’s

memory carries

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage .

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people . A great deal of communication is performed on a

person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech . If we travel in buses ,

buy

thing

in

shops

,

or

eat

in

restaurants

,

we

are

likely

to

have

conversations where we give information or opinions , receive news or comment

,and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society .

Face-to-face

contact

is

by

no

means

the

only

form

of

communication

and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society . Two things , above others ,

have

caused

the

enormous

growth

of

the

communication

industry

.

Firstly

,

inventiveness

has

led

to

advances

in

printing

,

telecommunications

,

photography

,

radio

and

television .

Secondly

,

speed

has

revolutionized

the

transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a

back

seat

to

national

news

,

which

itself

is

often

almost

eclipsed

（黯然失色）

by

international news .

No

longer

is

the

possession

of

information

confined

to

a

privileged

minority . In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate , but today there are public libraries . Forty years ago people used

to flock to the cinema , but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV

to watch a programme the is being channeled into millions of homes .

Communication

is

no

longer

merely

concerned

with

the

transmission

of

information . The modern communication industry influences the way people live

in

society

and

broadens

their

horizons

by

allowing

access

to

information

,

by

means of

education

and

entertainment

.The

printing

,

broadcasting

and

advertising

industries are all involved with informing , educating and entertaining .

Although

a

great

deal

of

the

material

communicated

by

the

mass

media

is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part , the

vast

modern

network

of

communications

is

open

to

abuse .

However

,

the

mass

media are with us for better or for worse , and there is no turning back .

first paragraph emphasizes the ______ of face-to-face contact in social

settings .

development

of

the

communication

industry

in

contemporary

society

results form ______.

advances and revolutions

art of mass communication

is implied in the passage that _______ .

news still takes a significant place

possess information used to be a privilege .
