.Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)





的答案涂黑。






Passage One





Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.





When Rowland Hill, little more than a hundred years ago, first advocated the introduction of


cheap postage in England, he had to face many opponents of the scheme; some said that it would


not pay, others that it was unworkable. But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually


overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first


world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one


penny. The gloomy prophecies (


预言


) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office


were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to


handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.





Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the


distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was


addressed. The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence.


Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often


compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new


scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(


贴上


) to it an adhesive(


粘的


) postage


stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all. Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news


with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work


elsewhere.






Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great


financial


success,


the


new


scheme


was,


before


long,


adopted


by


every


civilized


country


in


the


world


——


a final tribute(


明证


) to the wisdom and vision of its promoter.





21.



Some said that it (i.e. Rowland Hill's scheme) would not pay




means ________.





A. some said that people would refuse to pay for the scheme





3





B. some said that the scheme would not be profitable





C. some said that the scheme was not economical







D. some said that they did not have enough money to pay for the scheme





22. Rowland Hill's system is known as the



Penny post




________.







A. because it undertook the delivery of all inland letters for the charge of one penny





B. since it was established late in 1839















C. because many people who used its facilities were poor



D. as a result of the gloomy prophecies of those who had said scheme would not pay



23. Postal facilities were extended after the introduction of the Penny Post ________.



A. because the volume of correspondence increased






B. as a result of improvements in transport and administration





C. until the first world war






D. provided that the cost of sending a letter remained at one penny






24.


Under


the


old


system


the


poor


had


frequently


been


compelled


to


refuse


letters


________.






A.


because


they


could


not


afford


to


pay


the


high


postage


rates


which


had


to


be


paid


on


receipt of a letter






B. unless the charge on them was less than four pence






C. although rates varied according to the distance letters were carried






D. because many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere



25. The new postal scheme was adopted by every civilized country in the world ________.





A. because it enabled the poor, as well as the rich, to exchange news






B. as a tribute to the wisdom and vision of its promoter





4












C. since the scheme, in addition to its convenience, had proved financially successful



D. a hundred years after its adoption by the English



Passage Two



Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.





We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most


mistakes are about people.



Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?





When I got


that


great


job,


did


Jim


really


feel


good


about


it,


as


a


friend?


Or


did


he


envy


my


luck?




And


Paul-why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?




When we look back,


doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.






Why


do


we


go


wrong


about


our


friends


——


or


our


enemies?


Sometimes


what


people


say


hides


their


real


meaning.


And


if


we


don't


really


listen,


we


miss


the


feeling


behind


the


words.


Suppose someone tells you,



You're a lucky dog.




Is he really on your side? If he said,



You're


a lucky guy




or



You're a lucky gal,




that's being friendly. But



lucky dog



? There's a bit of


envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the



dog




bit puts you


down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.







Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for




is another noise that says one thing


and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as


part


of


your


life


as


a


whole.


But


is


he?


Wrapped


up


in


this


phrase


is


the


thought


that


your


problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you


haven't got a date for Saturday night.






How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look


at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says quare with(


符合


) the


tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking


about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.






26. In the first paragraph, the writer recalls some things that happened between him and his


friends. He ________.















A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him





B. feels he may not have



read




his friends' true feeling correctly



C. is sorry that his friends let him down




D. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friends, Helen



27. In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying,



You're a lucky dog.




5



He is saying that ________.






A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly






B. this saying means the same as



You're a lucky guy




or



You're a lucky gal.







C. the word



dog




shouldn't be used to apply to people






D. sometimes the words give a clue(


线索


) to the feeling behind the words





28. This passage tries to tell you how to ________.





A. avoid mistakes about money and friends





B.



size up




people










C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you





D. keep people friendly without trusting them






29. In listening to a person the important thing is ________.






A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eye






B. to listen to how he pronounces his words






C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture





D. not to believe what he says







30.


The


phrase



puts


you


down




(Para


2,


Line


7)


can


be


replaced


by


another


phrase


“< /p>


________



.

< br>





A. makes you humble
















B. reduces you to silence






C. press you down


















D. makes you sad





Passage Three





Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.





It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the


10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or


decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(


抛弃


),
