Passage 1

A man got into a train and found himself sitting opposite a woman who seemed to be about thirty-five years old. Soon they began talking to each other, and the man said to her, "Do you have a family?"

"Yes, I have one son," the woman answered.

"Oh, really?" said the man. "Does he smoke?"

"No, he's never touched a cigarette," the woman replied.

"That's good," the man continued. "I don't smoke either. Tobacco is very bad to one's health. And does your son drink wine?"

"Oh, no," the woman answered at once. "He's never drunk a drop of it."

"Then I congratulate you, ma'am," the man said. "And does he ever come home late at night?"

"No, never," his neighbor answered. "He goes to bed immediately after dinner every night."

"Well," the man said, "he's a wise young man. How old is he?"

"He's six months old today. But he will grow up to be a gentleman," the woman replied proudly.

Passage 2

By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others----they are people against whom we measure others.

They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's

consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire

them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and

heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something

beyond us----an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold

War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an

unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has

been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.

Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星) , who

are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes

some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In

part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the

beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced

marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of

the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death----such

as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. (258

words)

所选答案： C. heroes and icons

所选答案： D. all of the above

所选答案：

D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.

所选答案： C. just before her death

10. What is more likely to set an icon's status?

所选答案： B. Tragic and early death.

Passage 3

Mr. Young ran his own business and worked very hard. His wife was

afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to

get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so,

and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any

disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's

secretary. She said to her, "My husband needs a vacation very much, so

whatever happens, please don't bother him with telegrams and letters about

business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back."

After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Young

received a letter from his secretary which said, "Something terrible

you are enjoying your vacation."

Passage 4

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 both Chinese and in English

literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble”

suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.

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 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 o n people?s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.

16．According to the passage, __________.

所选答案： C.

people may interpret gestures and words in various ways.

17．By using the example of dogs, tigers and humans, the author intends to illustrate ________.

所选答案： C. humans and animals share something in common in expressing their feelings
