Part I Reading Comprehension (24 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the following passage.It was an early September day, cool and bright and just right for running, and I was in the first few miles of a lO-knownmile race over a course with a few high hills. Still, I felt energetic; despite the hills it was going to be a fine run.Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno, a teacher from Mount Kiseo, New York. She too was running easily, moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable, so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake(追上) her later on when she tired.So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles, wandered west for a hilly mile, then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him, for they exchanged a few cheerful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you feeling good, and Peggy plainly was.Still, I was close enough to overtake her if she tired, so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long, punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line, so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.As I moved up the hill, my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up, Peggy was moving away--first five yards, then ten, then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker, slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed, the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women, andI can say it is often hard work.1. What did the writer think of the race in the beginning?A. It would be hard work.B. It would be an easy race.C. It would be a test of his strength.D. It would be a good learning experience.2. What worried the writer when Peggy greeted the young runner?A. Peggy overtook the young runner.B. Peggy was running energetically.C. Peggy was laughing as the writer.D. Peggy paid no attention to the writer.3. By saying "a long, punishing hill" (paragraph 5 ), the writer implies that _____________ .A. Peggy would fail to reach the hilltopB. men are more skilled at climbing hillsC. overtaking Peggy would be easyD. climbing the hill would be a demanding task4. What lesson does the writer learn from the race?A. Women are as good as men in sport.B. Women are better at climbing hills.C. He should have more training in a cross-country race.D. He should set a quicker pace at the beginning of a race.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the following passage.Though war is something people hate, Director Feng Xiaogang often exposes his audience to it. “If we don’t impress the audience, who are without the painful experience of war, with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with anger in his eyes.After Red River Valley and Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, both of which star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing, Feng drew a satisfactory full stop to his war trilogy last month with Purple Sunset.The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World War II was drawing to and end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the hope that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arrive in a Japanese base. Humanity （仁慈）prevents them from killing the young, innocent victim of Japanese militarism（军国主义）. This humanity, the longing for peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite.“If people are touched by justice, tolerance and unselfishness, I think I have achieved my goal,” Feng said. Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film, such as tanksfighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive, to show t he cruelty of war. But that’s never his personal preference, he says. “Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I detest war, “he said, “I wrote all the things for my war films by myself. Whenever I finished one, I felt as though I had suffered great pain.”Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the snowy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau in Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used to study art and I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”5. Director Feng Xiaogang shot war film because_________.A. he was deeply interested in such a topicB. he wanted to give the audience the painful experience of warC. he hoped to arouse people’s love of peace and objection to warD. he dreamed of becoming a world-famous director6. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier seized a Japanese girl so that_____.A. they could find the Japanese base easilyB. she could take them out of the forestC. they could kill her for revenge（报复）D. it would cause the Japanese militarism to give in7.Scenes of Japanese burning Chinese people alive in the film are to ______.A. show that war is cruelB. attract people’s interestC. show Feng’s personal p reference and interestD. make the film moving and interesting8.The underlined word “detest” in this passage refers to ________.A. hateB. likeC. fleeD. know aboutQuestions 9 to 12 are based on the following passageYou must be at the examination center ten minutes before the examination starts.

10Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person". As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world's treasure house of culture and art.补充翻译：Although many students seem allergic to English and always get lost in English learning, they still feel obliged to learn it well. Then how can teachers make students’ journey of English learning enjoyable? Effective, precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary. Thus, for the students with language deficit and should learn from scratch, it does make sense to teach them the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary. Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car. One should often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Equipped with these two essential assets, students will surely become attached to English and have excellent control in their journey of English learning.Text B2 1.D 2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.C D4 1.mysterious 2.desperate 3.devise 4.negotiate 5.recalled 6.specifically 7.depict 8.ignorance 9.expand 10.confusion5 1.apply to 2.in a bid to 3.end up 4.Speaking of 5.get hold of 6.appealed to7.Leaving… behind 8.focus on8 1.essential framework 2.proper vocabulary 3.excellent control nguage deficit 5.high standards nguage proficiency 7.acquire knowledge petent communication 9.overcome deficiencies 10.sketch thoughts 11.effective communication 12.advanced vocabularyText A3 1.promotes 2.accelerate 3.mystery 4.insight 5.boost 6.analysis 7.calculate 8.barriers 9.destruction 10.protest5 1.excess 2.bearing 3.objective 4.intensify 5.execute 6.promising 7.exclude 8. identity 9. offend 10.housing6 1.C 2.

Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.1.The Open University provides an education for_________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn2.Among other things, the further growth of distance learning atpostgraduate and professional levels is limited by____________________.A. the high costs involvedB. a low student demandC. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology3.The attempt of one case study university to provide equipmentand staff to a rural group of students _________.A. would be expandedB. did not work wellC. might help learningD. could cost a lot4.The cost of setting up a distance learning program mightchange ______________.A. as new developments are madeB. as more students take classes thereC. as the Open University helps moreD. as technology becomes cheaper5.The tone of this passage can best be described as________________.A. discouragingB. encouragingC. persuasiveD. scientificQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the worker when you can use your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.6.The effect of increased communication technology is____________.A. the retreat of human closenessB. the lack of care for neighborsC. the saving of more free timeD. the advance of our contacts7.If his mom has a question, he will ____________.A. find new ways to reach herB. send her an email messageC. try to get her a voice machineD. answer through voice mail8.Judging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2,Paragraph 2) means ___________.A. relationshipB. closenessC. strangenessD. stress9.ATMs in banks have changed life by __________.A. making it more difficult to want human contactB. making it faster to receive money from banksC. making it easier to obtain bank credit cardsD. making it unnecessary to talk with bank clerks10.The writer's attitude toward advances in communicationstechnology may be described as _______________.A. unconcernedB. criticalC. positiveD. uninterested。

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1In our daily lives we need to communicate with one another. We do this mostly by speaking to other people and listening to what they say to us, and when we are close to them we can do it very easily.However, our voices will not travel very far even w hen we shout.The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a Scots man who was born in 1847. On June 2nd, 1875, he heard the first sounds from the other end of a piece of an electric wire. Some months later, he spoke the first words ever to be sent over a distance by electricity.Although Bell had made the first telephone, at first none seemed interested. He showed his instrument at an exhibition but it was regarded as no more than a toy.Fortunately for Bell, the King of Brazil happened to pass by and heard of his invention. When the King heard Bell’s voice on the receiver, he dropped the instrument in surprise and cried, “It talks.” Next day Bell’s invention was famous.Another inventor, Thomas Edison, helped to make Bell’s telephone even more practical.31. Which sentence is the right statement?A. In the old times we hardly communicated with others.B. Before the year of 1875, we couldn’t communicate with others by speaking.C. Before the telephone was invented, w e couldn’t communicate with others.D. Now we can communicate with others by speaking even though we are far away.32. When he spoke the first words over a distance by electricity, Bell was _____years old.A. 28B. 29C. 39D. 3833. Where did Bell come from?A. America.B. England.C. Germany.D. Brazil.34. From the story we know that _______.A. the King of Brazil wasn’t surprised at all when he heard the voiceB. Bell’s instrument was regarded as no more than a toy before Edison improve d itC. at the exhibition Bell’s instrument drew a lot of attentionD. the King of Brazil made a suggestion to improve Bell’s instrument35. ______ played an important part in making Bell’s telephone more practical.A. EdisonB. The exhibitionC. BellD. The KingPassage 2A woman who was a student at the Central Conservatory of Music killed herself in Beijing, for a money-changing deal getting into trouble.The 33-year-old graduate student in folk m usic was found dead in her bedroom on January 14th during winter vacation.She had written to a friend that she wanted to die because she found her life “makes no sense”.She probably joined in a money deal and could not return a large amount of money that she had promised to change into hard currency (硬通货), sources said.They said she had been asked to exchange 30, 000 yuan into US dollars for actors going to perform in East Europe last year.She seemed to have been cheated in the money deal. She was supposed to pay back the whole sum but was able to return only 10,000 yuan.A school official said some students had joined in changing money though they knew it is against the law.36. The best headline for the above news story is “_______”.A. A Woman Was CheatedB. Deal Fails, Student DiesC. Student Found DeadD. A Lesson For Us All37.

Love can be seen everywhere. Y et surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy ea ch other’s company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is ofte n asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.41. The word “saved” in the first sentence of this passage means ______.A. leftB. relaxedC. set freeD. kept up42. Love is a lasting, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing, the very opposite emotion of which is ______.A. angerB. fearC. jealousyD. hate43. Which characteristic is shared by different kinds of love?A. A strong negative emotion toward someone.B. A strong positive feeling toward another.C. Unhappy feeling toward someone.D. Jealous feeling toward someone.44. According to the passage, hate is caused by ______.A. anger, jealousy or some other factorsB. anger, danger and hurtC. caring, protection, excitement and tendernessD. complex, strong positive emotion45. Which of the following is true?A. Love has been the subject of less scientific research because it is too simple an emotion.B. Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has beenpaid to it.C. To hate is always too bad.D. We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.Passage 4From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures (珍宝).Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louver (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louver has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (堡垒) with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat (护城河) to keep out the enemies.Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louver became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When FrancisⅠbecame King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da V inci from Italy. Da Vinci’s “M ona Lisa” (蒙娜·丽莎) is the best known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louver became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louver to see the masterpieces.46. When did the French king begin to live in the Louver?A. In 1190.B. By 1350.C. In 1515.D. Before 1350.47. How long has the Louver been a museum?A. For over 800 years.B. Since 1350.C. Since 1515.D. For over 200 years.48. Most of works of art in the Louver have been collected_______.A. by the French peopleB. by FrancisⅠC. by Leonardo da VinciD. by people of the world48. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?A. Da Vinci once stayed in the Louver.B.“Mona Lisa” is now kept in the Louver.C. The Louver was once a church as well as a palace.D. The Louver is a place of interest to different people from all over the world.50. Why is it good for the works of art to be kept in public museums?A. In public museums works of art will not be stolen.B. In public museums works of art will not be damaged.C. In public museums artists can study the works of art.D. In public museums everyone has a chance to enjoy the works of art.III. Cloze51 afternoon last week, my three sons were playing peacefully in the back yard, 52 the ball from one to 53 .

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly accurately without thinking. Tennis players call that "being in the zone." Educators call it "automatically."A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found autom atic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others; and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary."It's not I. Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to autom aticity, " according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity.At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud - som ething unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.35. The first paragraph tells us ________.A) what automaticity isB) how accuracy is acquiredC) how a child learns to walkD) how an athlete is trained36. An automatic reader _______.A) sounds out the lettersB) concentrates on meaningC) has a high I.Q.D) pays much attention to the structures of sentences37. The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader's high speed ________.A) costs him a lot of workB) affects his comprehensionC) leads to his future successD) doesn't affect his comprehension39. A bright child ________.A) also needs practice to be an automatic readerB) always achieves great success in comprehension testsC) becomes an automatic reader after learning how to readD) is a born automatic reader40. The main idea of the passage isA) how to score high on comprehension testsB) reading is the key to school successC) how to test your child's reading abilityD) automaticity is important for efficient readingIII.

They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, inparticular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.31. What is true about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they like.B. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team.D. They don’t need rules.32. To become a leader in a game the child has to .A. play wellB. wait for his turnC. be confident in himselfD. be popular among his playmates33. What do we know about grown-ups?A. They are not interested in games.B. They find children’s games too easy.C. They don’t need a reason to play games.D. They don’t understand children’s games.34. Why does a child like playing games?A. Because he can be someone other than himself.B. Because he can become popular among friends.C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.35. The writer believes that .A. children should make better rules for their games.B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.C. children’s games can do them a lot of goodD. children play games without reasonsPassage 2How many coins have you got in your pocket right now? Three? Two? Or one?With a phonecard you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.1. What do you do with it?Go to a telephone box marked “Phonecar d”. Put in your card, make your call and when you’ve finished, a screen tells you how much is left on your card.It costs no extra for the cards, and the calls cost 10p per unit (每单位时间), the same as any other payphone call.You can buy them in units of 10, 20, 40, 100 or 200.2. Now appearing in a shop near you.Near each Cardphone place you’ll find a shop where you can buy one. T hey’re at bus, train and city tube (地铁) stations.At many universities, hospitals and clubs, restaurants and gas stations on the high way and shopping centers.At airports and seaports.3. No more broken payphones.Most broken payphones are like that because they’ve been vandalized (破坏了的). There are no coi ns in Cardphone to excite thieves’interest in it.

The last sentence “Or get a bigger wallet” means “_______”.A. Phonecards are cheapB. You cannot use all payphonesC. Thieves will not break cardphonesD. People do not like carrying much moneyPassage 3The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated (耕种) and the good land worked intensively (精耕细作地). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw material. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex (复杂的). A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods (制成品). When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grows weaker. Faced with concerns such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.41. The main topic of this article is ______.A. environment protectionB. population growthC. environment and economyD. climate changing42. The passage says that a small population may lead to _____.A. higher production, but a lower average incomeB. lower production and lower average incomeC. higher production and a higher average incomeD. lower production, but a higher average income43.

In a developed country, people will perhaps be unemployed if the birthrate _____A. goes upB. goes downC. remains stableD. is out of control45. The author is aiming to show that _____.A. humans will run out of their food supply in the futureB. it is necessary for humans to carry out a worldwide plan for birth controlC. different nations have different views of population growthD. we need to take necessary measures to prevent the overuse of natural resources.Passage 4The way you look — the body that is yours — has several relatively permanent features that disclose（透露）information about you. As you take the platform to speak, listeners can observe your physical features and infer your sex, general age range, racial background, height, weight, and body type. Sometimes audiences respond to personal appearance in a fixed manner. As a result they may discount messages given by speakers who are very much younger than themselves. Other audiences similarly pay less attention to the speeches of women or of people from other cultural groups.Many people have one or more physical features or conditions that make them reluctant to speak publicly. These include crooked（歪斜的）teeth, visible birthmarks, above-average or below-average weight or height, poor eyesight, or the use of wheelchairs. Although it is true that people do see your features, it is generally not true that they spend the entire speech focusing on them. If you worry about your appearance, one of your best strategies is to have an interesting topic and a good opening statement that will draw people’s attention to your subject rather than to your looks.Regardless of your looks, you can pay special attention to your appearance such as dressing neatly, keeping your hair tidy, etc. Neatness and cleanliness are sometimes as significant as natural beauty; in fact, a common proverb, “Cleanliness is next to godliness” gives a very good example of this. Further, as we will see, social attractiveness is enhanced by other nonverbal variables such as smiling and gesturing appropriately. Moreover, physical characteristics are not the only thing your listeners see. The clothing and accessories（妇女全套衣饰中的小件）you choose are part of your total presentation of yourself.46. This passage may be intended for .A. school teachersB. would-be actors or actressesC. those whose work involves public speechesD. social workers47. People pay less attention to what a speaker says if .A. he has a different cultural backgroundB. he is poorly dressedC. his hair is untidyD. he is over-weighted48. People often feel shy to speak in public if .A. they are younger than the audiencesB. their subjects are not interesting enoughC. they are female and not prettyD. they have some physical defects49. Social attractiveness can be improved by .A. your humorous way of talkingB. good manners and dressing neatlyC. a good opening statementD. choosing a good topic50. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The audience won’t concentrate on your features throughout your speech.B. Natural beauty is necessary for a public speaker.C. Age and sex can decide whether your speech will be a successful one.D. The audience can foresee what you’ll say from your racial background.III. ClozeMost parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 51 how difficult it is to write a 52 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 53 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 54 the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best children's books are 55 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 56 who hears the story and the adult who 57 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 58 books like this, 59 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 60 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 61 of children's literature were in fact written for 62 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 63 of this.Children, left for themselves, often 64 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 65 and he will 66 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 67 of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children to 68 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 69 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 70 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.51.
