For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Ben was a poor man with a large family. One morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his home. The wood belonged to a rich gentleman, and Ben had no right to go there. But, in the wood there were lots of rabbits and birds that were good to eat, and Ben was determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a lot of anger on the rich man’s face as he saw the gun in Ben’s hands. Ben’s heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly up to these people and said to the gentleman, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” The rich man, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite for breakfast. Then, looking at Ben with suspicion, he said, “But why are you so early in the morning?” “Well, sir,” said Ben, “I just come out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Ben’s ready wit, and with a smile the rich man walked on, leaving Ben to try his luck with the rabbits. 11.

A. funny looks B. polite words C. quick and witty response D. promise to leave right away Passage 2 Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and fiends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales（称）. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage. “What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in fist. He was in a hurry to get a good seat. Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?” The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval. 16. Maria’s story happened ________.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day. Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try. When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English. 21. On the way to his hotel, the writer _____________. A. was silent all the time B. looked out of the window with great interest C. showed his friend something he brought with him D. kept talking to his friend 22.

After dinner, he _____________. A. walked back to the hotel right away B. had a walking tour around the city C. went to the movies D. did some shopping on Broadway 25. That night he could not sleep, because _____________.

Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her for a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?” he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap — only $400 for this diamond. How about it?” Miss Wang didn’t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Don’t buy from him. He’s not an honest man. He’s trying to trick you!” The man raised his voice at once, “I’m honest. These diamonds are real.” In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler — one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real. He said it cost around $900. Satisfied that the diamonds were real, Miss Wang decided to buy them from the man. She chose two of the largest stones from his box and paid him $400. Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How much will it cost to fix these on a ring?” The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that? These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone was a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back. However, the man was nowhere to be found. 26. Miss Wang met the man __________. A. on her way to Thailand B. on her way to Singapore C. when walking along a street in Hong Kong D. when buying diamonds in a store 27.

It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog would not eat what was caught without permission. But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship. 31. According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _______ . A. for protection against robbery B. just for fun C. for companionship D. for protection against other animals 32. The word “companionship” in Paragraph 2 means _______. A. worship B. treasure C. friendly relationship D. partnership 33. The dogs were used for hunting because ________ . A. they were good hunters B. they obeyed their masters C. they were useful for protection D. they did not eat other animals 34. The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is that _______. A. they need companion B. they like children C. they enjoy hunting D. they want to protect themselves 35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________. A. dogs can be helpful to those who need company B. city people always feel lonely C. dogs can be interesting D. the city can be a very dangerous place Passage 5 How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 36. The origin of language is _______. A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved 37. What is true about words? A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds. D. They are mysterious. 38. The real power of words lies in their _______. A. properties B. characteristics C. peculiarity D. representative function 39. By “association”, the author means _______. A. a special quality B. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature 40. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? A. He is no more than a master of words. B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears. D. His style is always charming. Passage 6 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 Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” 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 says, “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. 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 square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? 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. 41. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________. A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him B. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen D. is sorry that his friends let him down 42. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “You’re a lucky dog” to show 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. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words D. the word “dog” shouldn＇t be used to apply to people 43. This passage tries to tell you how to________. A. avoid mistakes about money and friends B. bring the “dog” bit into our conversation C. keep people friendly without trusting them D. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you 44. In listening to a person, the important thing is________. A. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture B. to listen to how he pronounces his words C. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes D. not to believe what he says 45. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would________. A. not lose real friends who say things that do not please you B. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy you C. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you D. be able to observe people as they are talking to you Passage 7 An employer has several choices he can consider when he wants to hire a new employee. First, he may look within his own company. But if none of the present employees are suitable for the position, he will have to look outside the company. If his company has a personnel office, he can ask them to help find qualified applicants. There are other valuable sources the employer can use, such as employment agencies, professional societies and so on. He can also advertise in the newspapers and magazines and ask prospective candidates to send in resumes. The employer has two kinds of qualifications to consider when he wants to choose from among applicants. He must consider both professional qualifications and personal characteristics. A candidate’s professional qualifications include his education, experience and skills. These can be listed on a resume. Personal characteristics must be evaluated through interviews. 46. This passage mainly tells us _______. A. how applicants look for a job B. how an employer hires his employees C. how an employer hires a new employee within his company D. how an employer can advertise in newspapers and magazines 47. The word “prospective” may mean _______. A. ordinary B. outstanding C. expected D. qualified 48. When an employer wants to hire a new employee, he will consider _______. A. the employee’s professional qualifications B. the employee’s personalities C. the employee’s education and family background D. both A and B 49. “ Professional qualifications” does not include ______. A. good health B. skills C. experience D. education 50. We can conclude that a candidate who _____ is in a better position to be hired. A. has worked for two months B. has had college education C. is getting training D. is fond of sports Passage 8 Man has learned many exciting things from the instruments that he has sent into space in rockets. Thermometers have measured temperatures. Barometers have measured pressure. Cameras have taken pictures. But none of these things really satisfies man. He wants to see space for himself. So, some countries like America and Russia began to train astronauts in 1960s and have sent them into space successfully. The training is hard and the project is big. Later there were even animals such as monkeys, mice and chimpanzees that made the trip into space, too. The time has not come for families to go on space trips but today nobody thinks that such things are impossible. Everyone knows we will have them someday and may have them sooner than we think. Man feels excited when he thinks about the future. He will someday step into a rocket and rise from the earth. But he will land somewhere else. The rocket has made it possible for man to imagine how big our world is. 51. The main idea of this passage is that _______.

Often the parents are not at work. Having worked a five-day week from Monday to Friday, Saturdays are a busy time for shops with many families going shopping. Sundays used to be a very special day of the week in Britain. It was the one day of the week for “worship and rest”. The shops were closed and most people were at home or at church. Popular leisure activities on Sunday used to be going to church and doing odd jobs around the home such as gardening and DIY. Until a few years ago shops were not permitted to open on a Sunday. Sundays today are becoming like any other day other week with shops open. Some families will now spend their time shopping rather than going to church or they will combine the two activities. Britain is becoming a far less Christian country with fewer people regularly attending Church. Many Christians believe that Sunday should be kept special, as a time given to worshipping God. They think it is important for Christians to meet together, listen to readings from the Bible and celebrate Holy Communion. Others believe that it is important that families have time to be together. (The shopping hours on a Sunday are less than on any other day of the week.) 56. The following activities are popular on Sunday in Britain except ________.
