In most cultures, when you meet acquaintances for the first time during a day, it is normal to greet them.

Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.

Passage 1

The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but a social meeting place.

A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business. Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise; and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready

for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you arc not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire,

a birth and a death in your store.

36、 The main purpose of the passage is to show ______.

A. how the supermarket has replaced the old general store

Passage 3

We have recently heard a great deal about the bad effects of computers on our social and economic institutions. In industry, computers mean automation, and automation means unemployment. The United States, with its extravagant investment in computers, is plagued (使得灾祸，烦恼) by unemployment for unskilled workers. Already computers have begun to displace workers whose tasks are simple. The variety of jobs, formerly done only by humans, that the machine can perform more rapidly, accurately, and economically, increases with each new generation of computers. If we follow this trend, say the pessimists (悲观主义者), we are faced with the prospect of mass unemployment for all but a handful of highly trained, highly intelligent professionals, who will then be more influential and overworked than they are now. Only recently a distinguished English physicist predicted that within twenty years electronic engineers might have to become conscientious objectors in order to prevent these machines from wrecking out (使遭难,破坏) social and economic institutions.

What can we do about it? It is foolish to dream of reversing history. We cannot pass laws forbidding the advancement of science and technology. The computing machines are here, and they will grow because engineers want to build them, soldiers want to enlist them in new weapon systems and politicians want their help in the process of government. In short, they will flourish because they enable us to accomplish tasks that could never before have been undertaken, no matter how many unskilled laborers we might have set to work. Computers will continue to amplify our intelligence for just the same reason that engines continue to amplify our muscles. The question we must ask is not whether we shall have computers or not have computers, but rather, since we are going to have them, how we can make the most humane and intelligent use of them.

46、 The author insists that ______.

A. computers will continue to have bad effects on our social and economic institutions

B. computers will continue to cause mass unemployment

C. computers will lead to economic controls

D. computers will continue to flourish, but there is no cause for

pessimism

47、 According to the article, which of the following best characterizes the author's attitude towards the computer?

A. Extremely pessimistic.

B. Cautiously optimistic.

C. Extremely optimistic.

D. Cautiously pessimistic.

48、 The author suggests that computers will continue to grow and flourish because ______.

A. it is foolish and impossible to reverse history

B. no laws can forbid the advancement of science and technology

C. engines amplify our muscles

D. they can be and have been put to good use

49、 The main idea of the last paragraph is ______.

A. that computers are misleading

B. that computers have caused industrial strife

C. that we are able to build bigger and faster computers

D. that we can make the most humane and intelligent use of computers

50、 "Conscientious objectors" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

A. people who refuse to do something for moral reasons

B. objects in the minds of the engineers

C. pessimists who find the whole situation hopeless

D. machines that can prevent computers from ruining us Passage 4

A library is more than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source of information. That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books), from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio-visual materials (records, cassettes, microfilm, video tapes, etc.), or even from a computer terminal.

Students go to libraries to study and to write research papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room, they can find catalogs from many universities in the U. S. and other countries. If you are buying a used car, the reference librarian can show you the Blue Book, which lists the prices of new and used ears. People who need information in a hurry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries.

There are as many different library services as there are types of people who use them. Children's libraries provide materials for young readers. They sometimes have story tellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries offer special services for blind people, such as books in Braille, "talking" books, and Kurzweil Reading Machines.

Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and short stories from a library's fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter what your interests are, you will find that a library can be a great place to enjoy yourself while you learn.

51、 In libraries, readers can get information from ______.

A. computer terminal, books, periodicals or nonfiction

B. books, periodicals, audio-visual materials or video tapes

C. periodicals, books, audio-visual materials or a computer

terminal

D. materials, reference books, periodicals, audio-visual or journals

52、 In the reference room of the library you can find ______.

A. materials for young readers

B. university catalogs

C. newspapers and magazines

D. the fiction collection

53、 Foreign students often go to ______ to read newspapers and magazines from their countries.

A. periodical rooms

B. reference rooms

C. music rooms

D. computer centers

54、 The last sentence in the last paragraph implies that readers can ______.

A. find entertainment and information in a library

B. read both novels and short stories in a bookstore

C. enjoy concerts and films in a theater

D. attend many lectures at colleges

答案:

Ⅰ．Vocabulary & Structure

1、A

[解析] 句意：如果你再仔细考虑一下这个问题，你就会找到解决的办法。本题考查动词词组辨析。take over意为“接管，接替”；set up意为“建立，创立，树立”；look up意为“向上看，抬头看”；think over意为“仔细考虑”，因此选A。

2、B

[解析] 句意：警察此刻正在此地区搜索盗贼。本题考查现在进行时。at the moment意为“此刻，现在，目前”，放在句尾做状语，应该用现在进行时，又因为police(警察)为群体名词，其谓语应用复数，故选B。

3、C

[解析] 句意：她是如此善良的一个女孩以至于我们都喜欢和她交朋友。本题考查固定搭配。so的一种固定用法是：so+形容词+a(an)+名词，而such的用法是such+a(an)+形容词+名词，故选C。4、D

[解析] 句意：他已经从广播上得知了这个新闻，你不用去告诉他了。本题考查现在完成时。根据句意可知，“得知新闻”这个动作发生在过去，并且对现在造成一定的影响，故选D。

5、C

[解析] 句意：我知道关于他的一些事情，但是知道的不是太多。本题考查现在完成时。首先这里表示“被告诉”，因此应该用被动语态，故排除A、D两项，B选项是过去完成时，表示“过去的过去”，很明显应排除，故选C。

6、C

[解析] 句意：如果你想参加这个考试，你不得不现在就开始。本题考查词组辨析。at least意为“至少”；on the way意为“在途中，接近”；right away意为“立刻，马上”；by the way意为“顺便地，附带说说”，故选C。

7、C

[解析] 句意：我们一开始考试就开始下雪了。本题考查时态一致。no sooner...than...意为“一……就”，所连接的句子前后时态应一致，故选C。

8、D

[解析] 句意：什么事情都做不了除非你告诉我们真相。本题考查被动语态。任何事情都不能被做，应该用被动语态，故选D。

9、B

[解析] 句意：在这个季节攀岩是一件令人激动的事情。本题考查现在分词做定语的用法。现在分词做定语修饰物，表示“令人……的”，过去分词修饰人，故选B。

10、C

[解析] 句意：吉姆今天下午没有心情逛街。本题考查固定搭配。be not in the mood是固定搭配，意为“没有心情”，等于“be in no mood”。

11、B

[解析] 句意：他随身带了一件雨衣以防下雨。虚拟语气题。lest表示“唯恐，以免，以防”，它所引导的从句中的谓语用“should+动词原形”结构。故选B。

12、D

[解析] 句意：——那辆车一定花了许多钱。——哦，不，没有(花很多钱)。本题测试情态动词must+现在完成时的用法。“must+have done sth.”表示对过去时间里可能发生的事情的推测，语气较强，具有“肯定，想必”的意思。既然是对过去事情的推测，其否定回答应该是“it didn't”，强调在买那辆车时并未花很多钱。

13、B

[解析] 句意：我宁愿三年前没有和她结婚。虚拟语气题。would rather表示“宁愿，但愿”，它引导的宾语从句用虚拟语气。宾语从句用一般过去时表示对现在的愿望，用过去完成时表示对过去做的事表示懊悔。很明显，本句是对过去做的事表示懊悔，故用过去完成时，选B。

14、B

[解析] 句意：如果不是你的帮助，我就不能通过这次考试。虚拟语气题。“but for...”表示虚拟条件，相当于“if it weren't/if it hadn't been for...”，句中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。类似的词还有without。经分析，本句表示与过去事实相反的假设，故主句应该用“would have+动词过去分词”结构，选B。

15、C

[解析] 句意：你们图书馆里关于电脑科学的书远比我们的要多。词语搭配题。本句是一个表示比较的句子。“more...than”是固定搭配，意思是“……比……多”。又因本句中比较的对象book为可数名词，因此只能用many来修饰。

16、B

[解析] 句意：据说大多数学生都反对已提议的新的训练体系。词义辨析题。object意为“反对”，是不及物动词，用法为object to sb./sth.；oppose：反对(计划、政策)等，是及物动词，用法为oppose sth.；disagree：不同意，用法为disagree with sb. about/on/over sth.；opposite：对面的，相反的。根据词义及搭配应选B。

17、A

[解析] 句意：一个技师和几个年轻的工人正在做设计。本题考查的是主谓一致。当主语是单数，后面跟有together with/with/as well as/like/but/except等词或短语时，谓语动词和前面

的主语保持一致，仍用单数形式。本句主语a technician是单数，故谓语动词用单数，选A。18、B

[解析] 句意：你真体贴，通知我们你将会晚些来。词义辨析题。considering：考虑到，鉴于；considerate：体贴的；considerable：相当多的；considered：经过深思熟虑的。

19、A

[解析] 句意：其实你用不着买这本书，你可以从图书馆借一本。情态动词题。“needn't have+动词的过去分词”结构表示过去没必要做某事，却做了；“could have+动同的过去分词”表示对过去发生的事的可能推测；“must have+动词的过去分词”结构是对过去发生的事的肯定推测。根据句意，本题选A。

20、A

[解析] 句意：虽然你读得很快，但也不可能两天读完这本书。本句考查的是由as引导的让步状语从句。as引导的让步状语从句通常使用倒装语序，从句的表语或状语提前。本句前置的是从句中的状语fast，故选A。

Ⅱ．Cloze

21、B

[解析] build up：逐步建立；build on：以……为基础，依靠。句意：问候的主要目的是逐步建立一种良好的关系。

22、A

[解析] the number of(……的数量)和the amount of(……的数额、数量)这两个结构不合题意，应先排除。an amount of(一批、一些)修饰不可数名词，而phrases是可数名词，所以D也应排除。故正确答案是A，a number of：若干，许多，其后跟可数名词的复数形式。

23、C

[解析] considerable：相当多的；considered：经过深思熟虑的；considering：考虑到；considerate：考虑周到的。句意：不过，有时在可使用的表达的种类方面有许多的不同。

24、B

[解析] arise：出现；raise：举起，提高；arouse：唤醒；lead：引导。句意：容易出现文化方面的误解。

25、D

[解析] 从句子来判断，her后面应接一个名词，arrival是动词arrive的名词形式。其他选项均是动词形式。

26、C

[解析] to her disappointment让她失望的是……；to her surprise：让她吃惊的是……。句意：银行工作人员问她有没有吃午饭，这应该让她惊讶而不是失望。因此C为正确答案。B和D形式错误。

27、A

[解析] be regarded as：被认为是……。句意：在英国的文化里，这可以被认为是委婉地邀请别人吃午饭。

28、D

[解析] 这里要注意分辨这四个动词的意思。reflect：反映；intend：打算；release：释放；indicate：显示，表明。句意：在未婚的青年男女之间，这还表明年轻男子有兴趣与该女子约会。

29、A

[解析] 根据句意，两句之间是因果关系，所以用since引导原因状语从句。

30、C

[解析] be a stranger to sb.：对某人来说是陌生人。

31、D

[解析] 这里测试的是动词的辨析。process：处理；produce：生产；provide：提供；proceed：进行或前进、继续下去。句子意思是“之后她去了学校”，所以D最合题意。

32、C

[解析] 这里测试的也是动词的辨析。release：释放；relieve：减轻；realize：认识到；regret：遗憾。句意：“现在她明白了那并不是一种邀请”，所以C最合题意。

33、B

[解析] 句中“why they asked it”(他们为什么这么问)是puzzle(疑惑)的内容。as to：至于，关于，例如：I have no doubt as to your ability.(关于你的能力我毫不怀疑。)with regards 后面如果加上to，也有“关于、至于”的意思；as if：好像；as far as：(表示程度、范围)就……而是。例如：as far as I know...(据我所知……)。

34、A

[解析] in the following days：在之后的几天里。这是固定搭配。

35、C

[解析] 这里要注意句子的倒装。用only加需要强调的状语来引出句子时，需用倒装句型，且整个文章时态是过去时，因此将助动词did提至主语前。例如：Only when they work hard, can they succeed.

Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension

56、My View on Job-hopping

Nowadays many people are fond of job-hopping either because they are not satisfied with their working conditions or because they don't think they have bright future opportunities. In either of the ahove-mentioned eases, they will not hesitate a moment to leave.

Why are so many people keen on job-hopping today? Because most people today hold that life is only once and job-hopping can provide them with rich and exciting experiences. What's more, it is much easier nowadays for people to get new jobs than in the past.

My own opinion is that job-hopping, in this fast-developing information era, has become very common and acceptable. If we want to keep pace with the times, we have to change for the faster, the higher and the stronger. If life is a journey, we have nothing to regret so long as we put meaning into it. So why not make a change?
