Many people just cannot a gree with what they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could judge a well-mannered person 25. the way they occupied the space ar ound them --- for example, when such a person walks down a street, he or she is constantly aware of 26.______. Such people never bu mp into other people.However, a second person thought that this was more a quest ion of civilized behavior 27.______ good manners. Instead, thi s other person told us a story, 28.______ he said was quite we ll known, about an American who 29.______ (invite) to an Ara b meal in one of the countries of the Middle East. The Americ an hadn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had known about Arab food, he might have beh aved better.Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much like a napkin. Picking it up, he put it int o his collar, 30.______ _______it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, 31.______ (say) nothing, but i mmediately copied the action of his guest.And that, said this second person, 32.______ (be)a fine exam ple of good manners.(B)Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great de al--- or at least many parts of it have.

The increasingly popular “design museums” that ar e opening today, however, perform quite a different __41__. U nlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects t hat are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even __42___ things like fridges and washing mach ines in the center of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made us e of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales--it is the ___43___ of excellently invented products. The differe nce between the window of a department store and the showc ase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you somet hing, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places wh ere people feel __44___ with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frigh tened or puzzled. This is __45__ because design museums cl early show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has __46__ the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on th e other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling th at there is something beyond their __47__.In recent years, several new design museums have opened t heir doors.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are f our words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

For each of them there are four c hoices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best acc ording to the information given in the passage you have just r ead.AThe morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my plac e. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my he ad stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till m y dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unb earable. I started calling the dentists in the phonebook, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky.“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist w ill fit you in .”I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenlyI began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn ’t he as busy as the others?In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw not hing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him? ”I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy th e artwork,” the assistant said.“The artwork?” I was puzzled.The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it, on the ceiling. How consi derate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.What a relief！66. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling t hat morning?A. Cheerful.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Upset.67. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.68. Why did the author suddenly smile?A. Because the dentist came at last.B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.C. Because she could relax in the chair.D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.69. What did the author learn from her experience most proba bly?A. Strike while the iron is hot.B. Have a good word for one’s friendC. Put oneself in other’s shoesD. A friend in need is a friend indeed.B70. The phrase “a gra nt” in the first line most probably means _____.A. bank interestB. a credit cardC. an education feeD. financial aid71. A student from Japan who has been studying in for a yea r and intends togo to college in a few months will _____.be unable to get money from any LEAget money if taking a first degree courseget money from LEA when finishing his coursehave to open a bank account before getting money72. A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university. She ha s workedsince she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year ?None. B. £155. C. £615.D. £515.73. A big bank offers a new student special services because _____.A. they need student accounts badlyB. they charge students extra interestC. they know he can get money regularlyD. they hope he’ll be a potential customerCPublicity（宣传) offers several benefits. There are not costs for message ti me or space. An ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $5,000,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. Publicity reaches a mass audience within a short time and ne w products or company policies are widely known.Credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the re ader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, peop le are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. For example, Women’s Wear Daily has both fashion reports and advertisements. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they skim through the ads. Furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. Fe ature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their c overage by a given medium. It may issue detailed news relea ses and find only portions mentioned by the media, and medi a have the ability to be much more critical than a firm would li ke.For example, in 1982, Procter & Gamble faced a massiv e publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. To fight this negative publicity, the firm had a spokesperson appear on Good Morning America to disprov e the rumor（谣言）. The false rumors were temporarily put to rest. However, in 1985, publicity became so troublemaking that Procter & Gamble decided to remove the logo from its products.A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as whe n a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the m edia may not cover the introduction or opening until after the ti me it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the place ment of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Final ly, the media decide whether to cover a story at all and the a mount of coverage to be devoted to it.74. All of the following advantages of publicity are mentioned EXCEPT _____.A. time savingB. attentivenessC. credibilityD. profitability75. Compared with ad, news report or featuring stories are m ore _____.A. believableB. clearC. dependentD. subjective76. The example of “Procter & G amble” is given to show ____ _.A. the efficient way of disproving rumorsB. the importance of a spokespersonC. the interaction between firms and mediaD. the negative effect of publicity77. What’s the author’s attitude towards publicity?A. doubtfulB. objectiveC. passiveD. supportiveSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the que stions or complete the statements in the fewest possible word s.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its b rief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of t he blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior o f drivers who refuse to respect the legal or moral rights of othe rs. So the massacre（屠杀）on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carel essness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damages to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be connected with psychological c ondition of the driver.
