If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a moretraditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we shoulddate the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And asyour list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

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 things 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 themaccurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. What is true about words?They are used to express feelings onlyThey can not be written downThey are simply soundsThey are mysterious.本题分值： 4.0用户未作答标准答案： They are simply sounds18.

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort. This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. From Para. 1, we know that in America ____________people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manpeople can always rise to the top through their won effortscollege professors win great respect from common workers people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors本题分值： 4.0用户未作答标准答案： people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man3.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are some passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), andD). Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.Passage 1Seventeen years ago, Muriel and I began our journey into the twilight. It’s midnight now, and I wonder when dawn will break. In her silent world, Muriel is so content, so lovable. If she were to die, how I would miss her gentle, sweet presence!Love is said to evaporate i f the relationship is not mutual, if it’s not physical, if the other person doesn’t communicate or if one party doesn’t carry their share of the load.Some people find it so hard to understand my quitting the job. ―Do you miss being president?‖ a student asked. I told him I’d never thought about it. I enjoyed learning to cook and keep house. It was exciting as my former work had been. No, I’d never looked back.People ask me, ―How do you do it?‖ Praise helps. Memories help, too. Muriel stocked the cupboard of my mind with the best of them. I often live again a special moment of love she planned with her endless passion about life.Muriel hasn’t spoken a coherent word in months-years, if you mean a sentence, a conversation. Would I never hear that voice again?Then came February 14, 1995.Valentine’s Day was always special at our house because that was the day in 1948 that Muriel accepted my marriage proposal. On the eve of Valentine’s Day in 1995, I bathed Muriel, kissed her good night and whispered a prayer over her, ―Dear Lord, you love sweet Muriel more than I, so please keep my beloved through the night.‖The next morning I was peddling on my exercise bike at the foot of her bed and reminiscing about some of our happy lovers’ days long gone while Muriel s lowly emerged from sleep. Finally, she popped awake and, as she often does, smiled at me. Then, for the first time in months she spoke, calling out to me in a voice as clear as a crystal chime, ―Love . . . love . . . love.‖I jumped from my cycle and ran to hold her. ―Honey, you really do love me, don’t you?‖ Holding me with her eyes, she responded with the only words she could find to say yes. ―Yes, I’m nice,‖ she said.1. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that loving Muriel isn’t hard?A. Because the relationship is not mutual.B. Because Muriel doesn’t communicate.C. Because Muriel cannot cook or keep the house.D. All of the above.2. What kind of the job did the writer do?A. He used to be a sportsman.B. He used to be a president of a university.C. He used to be a housekeeper.D. He used to be a cook.3. What helped the writer to do all the sacrifices?A. Praise.B. MemoriesC. Social charity .D. Both A and B.4. What is wrong with Muriel?A. She could not express herself clearly because of illness.B. She didn’t know how to cook.C. She didn’t have a lot of happy memories with her husband.D. She was not improving in housework.5. When did Muriel agree to marry the writer?A. On February 14, 1995.B. On February 14, 1948C. On February 14, 1946D. On the day of his graduation.Passage 2Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to assist distribution of goods at reasonable prices, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices. By drawing attention to new ideas,it helps enormously to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand, it ensures an increased need for labor, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment. It lowers the cost of many services: without ads your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your TV license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost fifty percent more.And perhaps most important of all, ads provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Apart from the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote products that fail to live up to the promise of his ads. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading ads. He will not do so for long, for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once. If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value.Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of.There is one more point I feel I ought to touch upon. Recently I heard a well-known TV personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course advertising seeks to persuade.If its message were confined merely to information---and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of color of a shirt is subtly persuasive---advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known TV personality wants.6. By the first sentence of the passage, the author means that __________.A. he is quite familiar with the cost of advertisingB. everyone knows advertising is costlyC. advertising costs money like everything elseD. it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising7. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as the advantage ofadvertising?A. Securing greater fameB. Providing more jobsC. Enhancing living standardsD. Reducing media cost8. The author thinks that the well-known TV personality is _________.A. very precise in his comment on adsB. reasonable in making the commentC. partial in his view of advertisingD. funny in misleading the audience9. In the author’s opinion, __________.A. advertising benefits people by providing informationB. advertising seldom misleads people with informationC. there is nothing wrong with ads in persuading buyersD. advertising with only information is a waste of money10. The author’s attitude to advertising is _________.A. negativeB. positiveC. ridiculousD. not clearPassage 3Going to dinner party is strange. You get in vited round to someone’s house for a meal, you sit and eat and have a great time, you say goodbye and tell them how wonderful the evening was, then you head home in the car complaining about how the chicken was too spicy, or how they didn’t open the bottle of wine you took-then a couple of days later, you call them up and invite them for dinner, so they can have a turn.We were invited to a dinner party the other night. We made an extra effort and showed up at their front door, and before knocking, we put on our most cheerful faces.We knocked at the door, our hosts let us in, and we showered them with excessive compliments; we complimented them on their nice furniture.Once we were inside the house, we started the Traditional Giving of the Gift. We prefer wine –and it’s got to be a bottle that someone once gave us at our dinner party, which our host will now put aside and give to someone else at another dinner party.Now it was time to play Dinner Party Perfect Match. This is where you’re introduced to all the other guests, because the hosts thought you could have plenty in common. This can be an honor if the other guests are interesting, and not if the other guests are a couple of grinning middle – aged nobodies.At the table, we indulged in a bit of Grown – Up Conversation; you have to talk about taxes and real estate and current Korean cinema. Finally it was time for The Meal, and because this is a ―dinner party‖, you’re never going to get burgers or pizza you actually WANT – instead, you get steamed fish with all the little bones left in, and ice – cream cake still frozen in the middle, and a plate of expensive chocolates flavored with chili and tea leaves, and everyone will start to eat when really everyone’s thinking, ―WHY CAN’T PEOPLE LEA VE CHOCOLATES ALONE?‖ At last the dinner party was over, because the host was giving us the ―Look, I’m Washing The Dishes Now‖ hint. So we said goodbye, told our hosts we had a great time, then headed home in the car, and I complained about how the fish was too bony, an d they didn’t open our wine… Then we called them a few days later and invited them around to our place for dinner.11. Why does the author say ―Going to a dinner party is strange‖?A. Because you tell the hosts that you enjoy the evening.B. Because you cannot complain how bad the party is.C. Because you invite the hosts to your dinner party.D. Because what you do is different from what you really feel.12. What do you know about the bottle of wine?A. The author bought it especially for this dinner party.B. It was given by others at the author’s dinner party.C. The host loved the wine and opened it for dinner.D. It was put aside because there was enough wine.13. What is the ―Dinner Party Perfect Match?A. The hosts invite several friends to dinner.B. The guests come to find their friends.C. The hosts invite those who they think can be friends.D. The guests will have interesting conversations together.14. What food is served at the dinner party?A. Burgers and pizzas.B. Steamed fish and ice-cream cake and chocolates.C. Bones, chili and tea leaves.D. Chocolates alone.15. What can you infer from the text about the dinner party?A. It’s a pleasure going to a dinner party.B. Dinner parties help you get to know other people.C. You can have unusual foods at dinner parties.D. Guests mainly complete the formalities, but do not enjoy the party.Passage 4There are many talk-show hosts on American television, but there is only one Oprah Winfrey. Born on Jan. 29th, 1954 in Mississippi, Oprah Winfrey was extremely bright child. She learned to read at age two and a half. Her parents divorced when she was very young and she was sent to live with her grandmother on a farm. At fourteen, she went to live with her father. He made sure that Oprah read a different book every week and required that she write a book report. Although this may have seemed harsh at the time, it could have given her the love of books she have today.Oprah graduated from Tennessee State University with a major in speech communications and performing arts. In 1978, Oprah was hired as a co-host of a show called People are talking, which began her career as a talk-show host. In 1984, Oprah moved to Chicago to host WLS-TV’s morning talk-show, AM Chicago. In less than a year, the name of the show was changed to The Oprah Winfrey Show. In 1986, it became the most popular talk-show in television history. Nowadays in the USA, over twenty million viewers a week watch her show. Her Internet website is paced with topics of interest for her audience.What is her secret to success? She did not come from a perfect family. She was not born with wealth, not with the kind of looks that often unlock the doors of opportunity for women in television. Instead, Oprah was born with intelligence, talent and an amazing ability to be herself. She is possibly the most trusted woman in America. Her fans trust her to entertain, inspire, educate, and understand them.To many, Oprah Winfrey is just like their favorite next-door neighbor. No matter whom the audiences are, Oprah still appears to be natural and open. She can usually say what other people would like to say themselves, if only they dared. She is Well-spoken and warm and cares about people. When she speaks, people listen. She is ―girlfriend to the world‖.16. Though there are many talk-show hosts on America television, Oprah _____.A. succeeds in being accepted by the company.B. is so different from them on the televisionC. asked her father to introduce her to the businessD. has applied for the talk-show program17. Which of the following is NOT true about Oprah?A. Oprah was a clever child.B. Oprah loved reading books.C. Oprah was brought up in a separated family.D. Oprah enjoyed the life on the farm.18. How long did it take Oprah to become a popular hostess since she first join the televisionbusiness?A. 6 years.B. 7 years.C. 8 years.D. 9 years.19. What’s the key to Oprah’ success in career?A. Beautiful looks.B. Wealthy family.C. Intelligence and good education.D. Trust from her fans and ability.20. Which of the following factors is NOT part of her success?A. Her father’s requirement of reading and writing.B. Her move to Chicago.C. Luck.D. Her friendly hosting style.Passage 5Nowadays, cellphones give us a lot of convenience. You can chat on the phone either at home or in public. But they also bring about some inconvenience. It is possible to hear some of the most intimate details of stra ngers’ lives while you are sitting on a train or walking through a park. Many people do not like this. Cellphones have become important and for some, essential communication tools. But meanwhile they are mixing up what is private with what is public.A recent survey has provided a detailed picture of the role of the cell phone in American life today. One significant influence is reflected in the survey. 74% of those mobile phone owners said they have used their cell phones in an emergency and gained valuable help. Another great influence is the change in the way people are spending their time. Some 41% of cell phone owners said they use the cell phone to fill in free time when they are traveling or waiting for someone.Meanwhile, more than a quarter of cell phone owners admitted that they sometimes do not drive safely while they use their cell phones. Furthermore, 84% of those interviewed reported that they are irritated at least occasionally by loud and annoying cell users. Instead, nearly 10% of cell phone owners admitted that they themselves have drawn criticism from others when they are using their cell phones in public.At times, mobile phones are used to tell white lies: 22% of cell owners said they are not always honest about exactly where they are when they are on the phone. Younger users were much more like to say they sometimes lie about where they are.There are gender-based differences among cell owners as well. Men were more likely to saythey couldn’t live without their mobile phones. On the other hand, women were more likely to say they have gained help from their phones in emergencies.In addition, the cell phone is becoming an expression of fashion for many users in the U.S. 65% said they give a personal style to the phone such as by changing the wall paper or adding ring tones to the phone.21. Now people can hear some very intimate details of strangers’ lives because _____.A. people talk aloud about them while traveling on trainsB. people don’t know what is private and wh at is publicC. people talk aloud about them while walking through parksD. people chat on their cell phones in public places22. How many people have used their cell phones for an emergency situation, according to thesurvey?A. 74%B. 41%C. 84%D. 22%23. How do people react to ruder cell phone users?A. They are irritated.B. They stare and make criticismC. They feel annoyed.D. All the above.24. Who are more likely to be dishonest about where they are when suing a cell phone?A. Older users.B. Younger usersC. Male users.D. Female users.25. Besides being a tool of communication, the cell phone is becoming _____A. a radio to listen toB. a mobile toyC. a wall paperD. an expression of fashionPassage 6Father told me one night that he had found work for me in a tailor shop where he knew the presser. I lay awake long that night. I was eager to begin life on my own responsibility but was also afraid. We arose earlier than usual that morning for father had to take me to the shop and I could not be late for work.The shop was on Broadway. We stopped at a door. Father looked at his watch and at me. "Don't look so frightened," he said. "You need not go in until seven. Remember, be independent." Then he went away.Now waiting made me nervous, so I tried the door. When I pushed it open and went in, a tall man stood folding coats at a table. I went over and asked him for the name. "Yes, I’m the boss" he said. "What do you want?"I said, "I am the new hand." He looked at me from head to foot. Then turning from me he shouted: "Presser, is this the girl?" The presser put down the iron and looked at me. "I suppose so," he said, "I only know the father."The boss said, "Let's see what you can do." He kicked a chair to the finisher's table, threw a coat upon it and said: "Make room for the new feller hand."By this time I scarcely knew what I was about. I laid my coat down. Walking in an unsteady way to the table, I sat down. The men were so close to me at each side I felt the heat of their bodies and could not prevent myself from moving back. The men noticed and probably felt hurt. All at once the thought came: "If I don't do this coat quickly and well he will send me away at once." I picked up the coat, threaded my needle, and began in haste, repeating the lesson father had taught me: "Be careful not to take small false stitches."My hands shook so much that I could not hold the needle properly. It took me a long while to do the coat. But at last it was done. I took it over to the boss and stood at the table waiting while he was examining it. He spent a long time in trying every stitch with his needle. Finally he put it down and without looking at me gave me two other coats. I felt very happy!26.

First of all, arrive approximately on time (but not early). Americans expectpromptness. It is OK to be 10 or 15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. Dinner might be overcooked and ruined by then. When you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it is polite to ―bring a small gift‖. Flowers or candy are always appropriate. If you have an attractive item made in your native country, your host and hostess would certainly enjoy receiving that as a gift.If you are served some food you don’t like or can’t eat, don’t make a fuss about it. If your host doesn’t say anything about what you are eating, then you shouldn’t, either. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one notices what you left. If you are questioned, you may have to admit that you don’t eat meat (or whatever), but you can also say that you have enjoyed the other foods and have had ―more than enough‖ to eat. Don’t make the cook feel obl iged(被迫) to prepare something else for you. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you enjoyed.Don’t leave immediately after dinner, but don’t overstay your welcome（做客时间过久）, either. When your friends seem to be getting tired and running out of conversation, take their behavior as a cue（暗示）to leave. The next day, call or write a thank-you note to say how much you enjoyed the evening.31. Having been invited to an American home for dinner, you’d better arrive _____.A. 45 minutes lateB. exactly on timeC. 10 or 15 minutes lateD. 10 or 15 minutes early32.

“I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.”
“That’s right,” answered the pilot. “I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.”
“And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” said the hunter.
“Is that true?” asked the pilot.
“Yes, it is. I swear it.”
Well, this pilot could not let himself beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) andhave strong opinions about everything. Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me. That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist－high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识)．We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that side roads may uncover the best part of journey—and the best part of yourself.1).

To play a game with them.D. To let them cool down.满分：2 分5). What could be the best title for the passage?A.Charm of the side roadsB. The Road to BraveryC.Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country Life满分：2 分3.Passage 2I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.After the accident my roommate called a doctor for me. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet hecharged me $115 each time. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770. Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.1). The author’s roommate offered to help him because________.A.he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was very goodD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer满分：2 分2).
