长篇阅读10题，总分值：20分Directions： You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Proactive Strategies to Build a Social LifeA) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should just happen and develop naturally, without you needing to do anything. I disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of their life, it’s not always the case, which is why many of us today lack a fulfilling social life. If you’re in college where you get to hang around lots of other people and you’re naturally a social person, your social circle will develop on its own. But if you’re an accountant working in cubicle all day and you’re kind of shy and don’t go out much, your social life may be seriously deficient.B) In my view, building a social life requires the same active and strategic approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from this angle, I want to show you some proactive (积极主动的) strategies to build a social life.C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having just a few friends, but who are very close to us. And some prefer a mix of the two. What is your preference Do you know Take some time to think about this and visualize what your ideal social circle would look like.D) Another aspect to think about is what kind of people you want in your social circle. Do you prefer people who are artistic, or people who are tech-oriented People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors Usually, you will get along best with individuals who are similar to you. So I advise you to consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are important for you tofind in others. If you know what kind of people you want in your life, you’re much more likely to find them.E) Once you know how many and what kind of friends you’re looking for, it’s time to take action in order to meet them. This may s eem obvious, but it’s something many of us ignore: If you just wait for others to come to you, you’ll never build a social circle. You must have the initiative and go to them.F) My recommendation here is to think about activities where you are likely to meet people you’d enjoy interacting with, and get involved in a few of them. For instance, you may take a class on a topic you’re interested in. You may volunteer for a charity organization or join some sort of club. Even if you don’t have any friends whatsoever at this point, you can apply this strategy. You can get involved in such activities all by yourself, and you’ll meet others there.G) In using this strategy, the Internet is your friend. You can discover all sorts of classes, social events, clubs and organizations near you online. But keep in mind that this is only the first step. Then you need to actually get out of the house, go there and participate.H) So you attend a training program on, let’s say, urban photography. There are lots of other people there. What do you do In general, the passive approach tends to prevail. Many of us just sit around doing nothing and expect others to come talk to us, ask us questions, and be chatty. And this may happen, or it may not. One thing I’m certain of, thou gh, is that it’s not the best approach. You want to be friendly first. Be the one to break the ice.I) Walk up to other people and introduce yourself to them. Then start chatting with them. For example, ask them how they found out about the event, how lon g they’ve been interested in urban photography, change from there into other topics, and if they seem to enjoy talking to you (which they almost always will), keep the conversation going. Doing this may not be easy at first, especially if you’re notused t o being this outgoing, but it’s something you get used to with practice. The trick is not to let hesitancy prevent you from being social. And I can tell from experience that if you are social and friendly with new people first, they’ll love you for it.J) If you’re building a new social life from scratch, the beginning is always the hardest part. However, once you’ve met a few people, it gets a lot easier because you can then make use of them to meet even more people. You can then meet some of their friends and acquaintances, and expand your social circle further.K) Again, a proactive approach works miracles. Let your friends know that you’re interested in meeting new people and you’d love to be introduced to other people they know. If they indeed are your friends, they’ll love to help you out. They may invite you to come with them to parties they go to, they may call other people to join you when you go out, and they’ll introduce you to new people. But you have to let them know their help is desired.L) The best part is that the bigger your social circle becomes, the easier it is to employ this strategy. Your social life will expand faster and faster, and you’ll find it progressively easier to find people you match well with.M) Your social life is completely in your hands. You can have a social life as rich, connected and diverse as you want. All you need is to do a bit of smart planning in this area, and take massive action. There is certainly no shortage of possibilities to meet people and make friends. It’s up to you to capitalize on them. Good luck!1)You will meet some people you would like to interact with when you take part in some activities. F2)People’s ideas of a satisfying social life vary from person to person. C3)You can enlarge your social circle by taking advantage of your current friends. J4)Nowadays many people lack a happy and satisfying social life because their social life doesn’t always develop naturally as they think. A5)You have complete control over your social life and you can have a fulfilling one by making plans and taking actions. M6)The common thing between building a social life and building a career is that they both require using some methods and strategies actively. B7)It’s not easy to be outgoing and sociable among the people you don’t know, but you’ll be used to it with practice.I8)It will be helpful in building your ideal social circle if you know your major characteristics and personality. D9)Many people often ignore that they should go to find friends actively and not simply wait for others to come to them. E10)Suppose you participate in a training program, you are advised to be friendly and break the silence first. H参考答案：1) F 2) C 3) J 4) A 5 ) M 6) B 7) I 8) D 9) E10) H阅读理解15题，总分值：30分Directions： Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister Maybe. An emergency Possibly. A mother Probably not at that time of night. Much more likely it is a close female friend—someone calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships of intimacy and trust are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, and so I called Jane at about 3:. to talk about it,” she says. “Sh e was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become very popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive. Also, a TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. Friendship is about commitment and loyalty.This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship. With Erica’s family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with wh at is happening.”11)Friendship is becoming more important because ________.A. people often do not live near theirfamilies B. people do not get along with theirfamilies C. families are not as dependable as friends D. all marriages end in divorce12)Friends have become more important than family because ________.A. friends are more intimate than familymembers B. friends need to be together all thetime C. friends are there when these people needhelp D. friends can talk about anything to each other13)Good friends usually ________.A. see each other after a long time and are stillfriends B. trust and say “thank you” to eachother C. trust each other and treat each other nicely D. do not always have to tell each other truth14)Why does the author mention two TV shows about friendshipA. Friends need to be loyal to each . Friendship meanscommitment and . Friends shouldn’t keep secret to each. Friendship is becoming more important nowadays.15)What can you infer from the passageA. Nothing is more important than . Friends are justlike a new family in many . People should help each other toestablish . Friends are those who can help when they are needed.参考答案：11) A 12) C 13) C 14) D15) BCan you imagine life without French fries Potatoes are very popular today. They are the fourth most important crop in the world, after wheat, rice, and corn. But in the past, potatoes were not always popular. People in Europe started to eat them only 200 years ago!In the 1500s, the Spanish went to South America to look for gold. There, they found people eating potatoes for 7000 years! The Spanish brought the potato back to Europe with them. But people in Europe did not like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that if you ate potatoes, your skin would look like the skin of a potato. Other people could not believe that you ate the underground part of the plant, so they ate the leaves instead. This made them sick because there is poison in the leaves. Others grew potatoes for their flowers. At one time in France, potato flowers were one of the most expensive flowers.Around 1780, the people of Ireland started to eat potatoes. They found that potatoes had many advantages. The potato grew on poor land, and it grew well in their cold and rainy climate. It gave more food than any other plant, and it needed little work. All they had to do was to plant the potatoes, and then they could do other work on the farm. On a small piece of land, a farmer could grow enough potatoes to feed his family. A person could eat eight to ten pounds of potatoes a day, with some milk or cheese, and be very healthy. Soon, potatoes became the main food in Ireland. In 1845, a disease killedall the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger. Many Irish who did not die came to the United States at this time.In other parts of Europe, people did not want to change their old food habits. Some preferred to die of hunger rather than eat potatoes. Today, many countries have their own potato dishes. Germans eat potato salad, the United States has the baked potato, and the French invented French fries.16)Which statement is trueA. Potatoes are only popular in . Potatoes are notvery popular . Potatoes are the most important crop in the. Potatoes were not very popular in the past.17)In the 1500s, people in Europe ________.A. found gold and potatoes from PeruB. found potatoescould harm people’s skin C. found potatoes were strangevegetables D. found potatoes and invented French fries18)Only in about 1780 did people start to ________.A. grow potatoes for their flowersB. go to Peru tolook for gold C. eat potatoes in Ireland D. eat eight to ten pounds of potatoes a day19)What is one of the advantages of potatoesA. They grow well in cold and dry . They have higherproductivity compared with . They can be grown with other. They can be eaten along with milk or cheese.20)What statement best illustrates the main idea of the passageA. How potatoes become . Why potatoes are a good. Why potatoes are healthy and . How potatoes have been consumed.参考答案：16) D 17) C 18) C 19) B20) AWhen looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire, have proved to have millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-Wright, dated 15 women to find the one who was his ideal partner. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright, took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensive restaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each show, he would choose between one and three of the contestants, with whom he had felt the least compatible, and saygoodbye to them.At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn’t find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn’t see it working, “He wasn’t my cup of tea.” In another show the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestant’s name. “You called me by another girl’s name. I can’t believe you did that. I really liked you,” she sobbed. But in the final show, the woman he eventually chose decided she didn’t want to marry him after all. “I think you’ve chosen me because you have to choose someone,” she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love with the show’s host!After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and the show’s host Jonsson tied the knot in Sweden. Has Jonsson finally found Mr. Right Only time will tell. But none of the guests at the wedding could deny the happiness in the couple’s eyes as the bride and groom left the wedding ceremony.21)What is this passage mainly aboutA. How a famous couple met and got . The best way tomeet a husband or . Why the show Mr. Right was a big. How to act on a date with a stranger.22)“When looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths” means ________.A. People resort to traditionally considered unusual waysto look for . Love has become less traditional than . Itis not difficult to find love through extreme . Modern way ofdating makes it easier but more extreme.23)What happened after seven weeks of doing the showA. All of the women won . Lance asked one of the womento marry . One of the women on the show started to. Jonsson asked Lance to marry her.24)Which of the following is true during the seriesA. Lance went on dates with one woman each . Thecandidates traveled abroad with . Lance and Jonsson starteddating each . The women met Lance’s family.25)What does the author want to tell us through the passageA. TV dating shows are a good way to find true . TVdating shows are the most efficient among other . More womenare getting more interested in TV dating . It’s hard to find true love through contesting with other contestants.参考答案：21) C 22) A 23) B 24) C25) D完型填空20题，总分值：30分Directions： There are some blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.These days it is very common for young men to give flowers to young wo men when they are in love, but this hasn’t always been thecustom. In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite 26) popular for people in love to secretly send each other baskets full of strange things. 27) Usually , an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street was 28) (inclined)to leave the basket beside the door of someone receiving it.These gift baskets 29) included a variety of objects such as flowers, stones, feathers, and even charcoal (木炭). Each thing in the basket had a(n) 30) special meaning and by figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who 31) (deserved)to receive the basket could determine the true feelings of the giver. This idea of sending gifts of love with 32) concealed meanings quickly spread to Germany, France, and England. 33) Unfortunately , over time, only sending flowers remained popular.A 34) bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the hearts of young men. Each 35) cute flower had a different meaning. For example, pink flowers 36) (confessed)the feeling, “My love for you is strong and great.” The flowers from an orange tree meant, “You’re beautiful and pure.” Yellow roses, 37) on the other hand , meant, “I saw you with someone else.” Many flow er dictionaries were made to help young people in love 38) (clarify)the meaning of the flowers they received.Not all of the dictionaries agreed 39) on the definite meaning of each flower, though, so a person had to be 40) cautious about what flowers they chose to send. For example, 41) depending on which dictionary you used and which color you gave, a young man’s roses could 42) convey different meanings, “I love you,” “love is dangerous,” or even, “my love has decreased.” The 43) notion of using flowers to send messages had fallen out of 44) fashion by the 1880s. Afterwards, sending love letters, a 45) (more direct)way to expresslove commenced. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flowers has been lost.26)A. averageB. popularC. familiarD. standard27)A. UsuallyB. MostlyC. ChieflyD.

Each word can be used only once.Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. In many cultures, young men and women are 46) daring to choose their own marriage partners. In some cultures, however, parents 47) reserve the right to arrange their children’s marriages. Such arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages.One advantage of having parents arrange a marriage is financial 48) security . Of course, money doesn’t automatically bring happiness, but a 49) lack of money certainly causes stress in any relationship. A second advantage of an arranged marriage is that parents may 50) make a better choice than their children. They are not only older but also more 51) superior in life experience. Also, parents have been married; therefore, they know better what qualities are 52) desirable in a spouse.On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One obvious disadvantage is that parents may choose a wrong person in 53) haste , and the young couple may never be happy together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or womanmay already have 54) fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force their children to tie the knot, the result will be a disaster to all concerned.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for love is a good 55) formula to be happy. Both kinds of marriages take work, patience, and perhaps a little bit of luck.A. dictateB. deserveC. makeD. reserveE. charityF. formulaG. securityH. demandingI. daringJ. fallenK. lackL. desirableM. availableN. hasteO. superior46) daring 47) reserve 48) security 49 ) lack 50) make 51) superior 52) desirabl e 53) haste 54) fallen 55) formula。

The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3. By saying “sample them widely”, the president means students should try many different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4. If we don’t challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves, and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don’t know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6. We should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which enrich our life.7. The expression “Now it is your turn” means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8. The president’s welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentio ns many important things about college life, the resources available on campus, as well as the responsibilities we should take.

u校园新视野大学英语（第三版）读写教程2quiz4答案
u校园新视野⼤学英语（第三版）读写教程2quiz4答案长篇阅读10题，总分值：20分Directions： You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Proactive Strategies to Build a Social LifeA) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should just happen and develop naturally, without you needing to do anything. I disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of their life, it’s not always the case, which is why many of us today lack a fulfilling social life. If you’re in college where you get to hang around lots of other people and you’re naturally a social person, your social circle will develop on its own. But if you’re an accountant working in cubicle all day and you’re kind of shy and don’t go out much, your social life may be seriously deficient.B) In my view, building a social life requires the same active and strategic approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from this angle, I want to show you some proactive (积极主动的) strategies to build a social life.C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having just a few friends, but who are very close to us. And some prefer a mix of the two. What is your preference Do you know Take some time to think about this and visualize what your ideal social circle would look like.D) Another aspect to think about is what kind of people you want in your social circle. Do you prefer people who are artistic, or people who are tech-oriented People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors Usually, you will get along best with individuals who are similar to you. So I advise you to consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are important for you tofind in others. If you know what kind of people you want in your life, you’re much more likely to find them.E) Once you know how many and what kind of friends you’re looking for, it’s time to take action in order to meet them. This may s eem obvious, but it’s something many of us ignore: If you just wait for others to come to you, you’ll never build a social circle. You must have the initiative and go to them.F) My recommendation here is to think about activities where you are likely to meet people you’d enjoy interacting with, and get involved in a few of them. For instance, you may take a class on a topic you’re interested in. You may volunteer for a charity organization or join some sort of club. Even if you don’t have any friends whatsoever at this point, you can apply this strategy. You can get involved in such activities all by yourself, and you’ll meet others there.G) In using this strategy, the Internet is your friend. You can discover all sorts of classes, social events, clubs and organizations near you online. But keep in mind that this is only the first step. Then you need to actually get out of the house, go there and participate.H) So you attend a training program on, let’s say, urban photography. There are lots of other people there. What do you do In general, the passive approach tends to prevail. Many of us just sit around doing nothing and expect others to come talk to us, ask us questions, and be chatty. And this may happen, or it may not. One thing I’m certain of, thou gh, is that it’s not the best approach. You want to be friendly first. Be the one to break the ice.I) Walk up to other people and introduce yourself to them. Then start chatting with them. For example, ask them how they found out about the event, how lon g they’ve been interested in urban photography, change from there into other topics, and if they seem to enjoy talking to you (which they almost always will), keep the conversation going. Doing this may not be easy at first, especially if you’re notused t o being this outgoing, but it’s something you get used to with practice. The trick is not to let hesitancy prevent you from being social. And I can tell from experience that if you are social and friendly with new people first, they’ll love you for it.J) If you’re building a new social life from scratch, the beginning is always the hardest part. However, once you’ve met a few people, it gets a lot easier because you can then make use of them to meet even more people. You can then meet some of their friends and acquaintances, and expand your social circle further.K) Again, a proactive approach works miracles. Let your friends know that you’re interested in meeting new people and you’d love to be introduced to other people they know. If they indeed are your friends, they’ll love to help you out. They may invite you to come with them to parties they go to, they may call other people to join you when you go out, and they’ll introduce youto new people. But you have to let them know their help is desired.L) The best part is that the bigger your social circle becomes, the easier it is to employ this strategy. Your social life will expand faster and faster, and you’ll find it progressively easier to find people you match well with.M) Your social life is completely in your hands. You can have a social life as rich, connected and diverse as you want. All you need is to do a bit of smart planning in this area, and take massive action. There is certainly no shortage of possibilities to meet people and make friends. It’s up to you to capitalize on them. Good luck!1)You will meet some people you would like to interact with when you take part in some activities. F2)People’s ideas of a satisfying social life vary from person to person. C3)You can enlarge your social circle by taking advantage of your current friends. J4)Nowadays many people lack a happy and satisfying social life because their social life doesn’t always develop naturally as they think. A5)You have complete control over your social life and you can have a fulfilling one by making plans and taking actions. M6)The common thing between building a social life and building a career is that they both require using some methods and strategies actively. B7)It’s not easy to be outgoing and sociable among the people you don’t know, but you’ll be used to it with practice.I8)It will be helpful in building your ideal social circle if you know your major characteristics and personality. D9)Many people often ignore that they should go to find friends actively and not simply wait for others to come to them. E10)Suppose you participate in a training program, you are advised to be friendly and break the silence first. H参考答案：1) F 2) C 3) J 4) A 5 ) M 6) B 7) I 8) D 9) E10) H阅读理解15题，总分值：30分Directions： Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister Maybe. An emergency Possibly. A mother Probably not at that time of night. Much more likely it is a close female friend—someone calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV. At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships of intimacy and trust are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, and so I called Jane at about 3:. to talk about it,” she says. “Sh e was very supportiveand even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become very popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive. Also, a TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. Friendship is about commitment and loyalty.This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship.

They are the fourth most important crop in the world, after wheat, rice, and corn. But in the past, potatoes were not always popular. People in Europe started to eat them only 200 years ago!In the 1500s, the Spanish went to South America to look for gold. There, they found people eating potatoes for 7000 years! The Spanish brought the potato back to Europe with them. But people in Europe did not like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that if you ate potatoes, your skin would look like the skin of a potato. Other people could not believe that you ate the underground part of the plant, so they ate the leaves instead. This made them sick because there is poison in the leaves. Others grew potatoes for their flowers. At one time in France, potato flowers were one of the most expensive flowers. Around 1780, the people of Ireland started to eat potatoes. They found that potatoes had many advantages. The potato grew on poor land, and it grew well in their cold and rainy climate. It gave more food than any other plant, and it needed little work. All they had to do was to plant the potatoes, and then they could do other work on the farm. On a small piece of land, a farmer could grow enough potatoes to feed his family. A person could eat eight to ten pounds of potatoes a day, with some milk or cheese, and be very healthy. Soon, potatoes became the main food in Ireland. In 1845, a disease killedall the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger. Many Irish who did not die came to the United States at this time.In other parts of Europe, people did not want to change their old food habits. Some preferred to die of hunger rather than eat potatoes. Today, many countries have their own potato dishes. Germans eat potato salad, the United States has the baked potato, and the French invented French fries.16)Which statement is trueA. Potatoes are only popular in . Potatoes are notvery popular .

They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire, have proved to have millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-Wright, dated 15 women to find the one who was his ideal partner. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright, took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensive restaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each show, he would choose between one and three of the contestants, with whom he had felt the least compatible, and saygoodbye to them.At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn’t find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn’t see it working, “He wasn’t my cup of tea.” In another show the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestant’s name. “You called me by another girl’s name. I can’t believe you did that. I really liked you,” she sobbed. But in the final show, the woman he eventually chose decided she didn’t want to marry him after all. “I think you’ve chosen me because you have to choose someone,” she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love with the show’s host!After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and the show’s host Jonsson tied the knot in Sweden. Has Jonsson finally found Mr. Right Only time will tell. But none of the guests at the wedding could deny the happiness in the couple’s eyes as the bride and groom left the wedding ceremony.21)What is this passage mainly aboutA. How a famous couple met and got . The best way tomeet a husband or . Why the show Mr. Right was a big.

In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite 26) popular for people in love to secretly send each other baskets full of strange things. 27) Usually , an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street was 28) (inclined)to leave the basket beside the door of someone receiving it.These gift baskets 29) included a variety of objects such as flowers, stones, feathers, and even charcoal (⽊炭). Each thing in the basket had a(n) 30) special meaning and by figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who 31) (deserved)to receive the basket could determine the true feelings of the giver. This idea of sending gifts of love with 32) concealed meanings quickly spread to Germany, France, and England. 33) Unfortunately , over time, only sending flowers remained popular.A 34) bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the hearts of young men. Each 35) cute flower had a different meaning. For example, pink flowers 36) (confessed)the feeling, “My love for you is strong and great.” The flowers from an orange tree meant, “You’re beautiful and pure.” Yellow roses, 37) on the other hand , meant, “I saw you with someone else.”Many flow er dictionaries were made to help young people in love 38) (clarify)the meaning of the flowers they received.Not all of the dictionaries agreed 39) on the definite meaning of each flower, though, so a person had to be 40) cautious about what flowers they chose to send. For example, 41) depending on which dictionary you used and which color you gave, a young man’s roses could 42) convey different meanings, “I love you,” “love is dangerous,” or even, “my love has decreased.” The 43) notion of using flowers to send messages had fallen out of 44) fashion by the 1880s. Afterwards, sending love letters, a 45) (more direct)way to expresslove commenced. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flowers has been lost. 26)A. averageB. popularC. familiarD. standard27)A. UsuallyB. MostlyC. ChieflyD.

Each word can be used only once.Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. In many cultures, young men and women are 46) daring to choose their own marriage partners. In some cultures, however, parents 47) reserve the right to arrange their children’s marriages. Such arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages.One advantage of having parents arrange a marriage is financial 48) security . Of course, money doesn’t automatically bring happiness, but a 49) lack of money certainly causes stress in any relationship. A second advantage of an arranged marriage is that parents may 50) make a better choice than their children. They are not only older but also more 51) superior in life experience. Also, parents have been married; therefore, they know better what qualities are 52) desirable in a spouse.On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One obvious disadvantage is that parents may choose a wrong person in 53) haste , and the young couple may never be happy together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or womanmay already have 54) fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force their children to tie the knot, the result will be a disaster to all concerned.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for love is a good 55) formula to be happy.

长篇阅读10题，总分值：20分Directions：You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.A Parents’ Guide to UCAS ApplicationsA) To support your child through the UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) process, you’ll need to be aware of the key dates and —make sure that they are, too. “The universi ty application process is a minefield,” says Wendy Pannell, whose daughter is in year 13. It can be particularly confusing for parents who want to be supportive, but who have no previous experience of the university admissions service. “University has chan ged enormously,” says Andrew Swarbrick, university applications coordinator at the independent Abingdon school, Oxfordshire. “Parents need to remember that it’s different from how it was for them. They need to start with a blank slate.” With that in mind, here’s how you can help your sixth-former to find and apply to a university that’s right for them.B) Most schools will host information days that help parents to prepare. “Go to those sessions if a school is running them,” says Nancy Raynsford, whose daughter is in her first year at Liverpool University. Students should think about where they want to go and what they want to study in year 12, as the application procedure will get underway in the autumn term of year 13. But with 37,000 courses to choose from at over 300 institutions, how can you help them to narrow down the options?C) If your sixth-former has a dream career in mind, such as medicine or dentistry, they’ll need a specific degree to achieve it. If they don’t know, admissions tutors advise students to apply for a subject they enjoy or a course they are fascinated by. Make use of the resources available online, such as university league tables and prospectuses（简章）.”I found the UCAS website a mine of information,” says Wendy Pannell. “It’s got all the deadline dates and everything in one place. You can also download apps and use Twitter —I’ve followed UCAS and universities.”D) Parents and sixth-formers should go to open days to get a feel for whata university is like. “We went to about 20 open days,” says Nancy Raynsford. “We sat in lectures and that helped us to understand what it was all about. I was designated as the note-taker so that my daughter could listen. I didn’t ask any questions publicly because that was her job, but my being there gave her confidence. We could talk about it afterwards, and the shared experience of having been there with her meant that we could understand the process as well.” “I went on a couple of visits to universities,” says Barbara Asante, whose dau ghter is now at Sussex University. “It’s important for the parents to go because you know your child and so you can see that a university or a course will suit them.”E) Parents should know important dates in the UCAS calendar and remind their sixth-former of them. All applications are made through UCAS and the final deadline for the majority of courses is January 15. However, most applications are submitted during the autumn term of year 13. It’s recommended that students complete applications as early as possible; although universities must consider every one received by the deadline, many make offers in the autumn.F) Students can apply for up to five courses. Entry for most courses will be determined by predicted A-level results and tariff points. A certain number of tariff points are given for each A-level grade. You can look at tariff tables online to see how many points each grade has. Many schools advise that students have at least one “back-up” option, with lower entry requirements, in case they do not get their predicted grades.G) As well as understanding and guiding your child through the application process, parents can help with the personal statement, which is a chance for students to show their passion for a subject. “Parents can help their son or daughter to begin their personal statement,” says Swarbrick. “Get them to explain what they find interesting and exciting about their subject,” he says, “as well as to say what they’ve done to demonstrate that interest. However, it’s als o important that parents recognize that their son or daughter has to write their personal statement themselves.”H) Parents can also help by being aware of the early deadline. The deadline for Oxbridge and some specific courses, such as medicine and dentistry, is October 15. If your sixth-former is thinking about applying to anyof these subjects or universities they should prepare well in advance. Students may need to take a test or submit written work. They are then shortlisted and could be invited for an interview.I) At the offer stage, parents should play a monitorial role. Offers are staggered（犹豫，动摇）depending on when an application was made. Offers can be “unconditional” or “conditional” – which means they depend on A-level results. Students have to decline or accept only when all of their five choices have got back to them. They will then have to respond by a set deadline, given by UCAS. If a student’s first choice is a conditional offer, they can also accept a second insurance choice, which asks for lower grades. “At this stage, parents should ask sixth-formers what the deadline is and when they plan to make their response by, to make sure that they are on top of the procedure. As the whole thing becomes more real, parents could help to organ ize another visit or two so that they get a second impression.”J) If your sixth-former did not get into any of their choices, then they can still find a course through UCAS Extra, which stays open until early July. They can use the course search to find out which courses still have places available and apply through UCAS. Another option is to go through clearing, which matches students with unfilled places on courses. It’s organized by UCAS and opens at 5 p.m. on A-level results day, August 15. It then runs until September. Encourage your child to keep calm, as clearing can be a stressful process. Expect them to be on the phone, contacting universities. Institutions say they prefer students, rather than parents, to call, so it’s best for parents to take a step back and to let their son or daughter speak for themselves.1)If a student is not sure about what subject to learn, he will be advised to apply for the subject he is interested in. C2)If a sixth-former graduate applies for medicine course, he should get to know the deadline for it and prepare for some tests ahead of time. H3)The advantage that parents accompany their children to the open days is that they can give their children confidence and help. D4)Many applicants submit their applications in the autumn of year 13 rather than in the January of year 14. E5)Students have to make a final decision about which university to attend by the deadline given by UCAS. I6)Students are recommended to choose at least one course with lower entry requirements. F7)Some parents, especially those who have never gone through university admission service, feel troubled and worried about the process of their kid’s university application. A8)Parents are suggested to go to the colleges on their information days to get well prepared to help their children. B9)Students who fail to be admitted by their ideal universities can still find vacancy in other universities before early July through UCAS Extra. J10)When writing personal statement, students should explain their interests in the chosen subject.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Worldwide, 40 million new passenger cars are built every year. A recent survey estimates that the number of cars will triple over the next 20 years. Most of this growth will take place in China. In comparison, the United States has been completely transformed by cars.Cars did not become necessities for families in the United States until after World War II. Prior to that time, cars were seen mainly as toys for the rich. By the end of the war, however, people were tired of saving their money. They were ready to have some fun. Unlike Europe and Japan, whose industries had been wiped out by World War II, factories in the United States could quickly be changed from production of wartime items to mass production of such luxury items as cars.As cars grew in popularity in the United States, there were also changes in lifestyle. Farmers who were once isolated from society by rural life now took weekend trips into the city. Also, workers in the cities no longer needed to live in inner-city housing in order to keep their jobs at nearby factories. Those who made enough money moved out of the cities and into the suburbs. Now that each family had its own car, going to work from the suburbs became a common practice.Cars not only changed the way people lived, but also changed the way they thought. Traditionally, because young people spent most of their time outside school in and around the home, the strongest role models for teenagers were their parents. However, once they had access to their own cars, teens began spending more time out with friends. Therefore, they became less likely to follow the behavior of their parents and more likely to follow their friends’.One thing producers paid little attention to, however, was safety. It wasn’t until the mid-1960s that consumers began to demand that all car companies include at least a few common safety features in new cars. These new standards eventually led to safety features such as seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, and automatic door locks.11)Why cars didn’t sell as well in Europe as in the United Stat es?A. Because people weren’t interested in cars.B. Because fewerfactories were able to make cars. C. Because people couldn’t afford cars.D. Because fewer people lived on farms.12)According to the passage, what was the greatest benefit of cars to American life?A. They provided people with more freedom to travel.B. Theyencouraged people to drive cars to and from work. C. They led to thedevelopment of drive-in movies and drive-through restaurants. D. Theyallowed teenagers to spend more time with their friends.13)The main point of Paragraph 4 is that cars ________.A. caused families to grow closerB. changed the thoughts ofteenagers C. changed the lives of adults D. made everyday life easyand fun14)What caused the change of the car safety features?A. Many car accidents during 1960s.B. The regulations by thegovernment. C. The standards by the car company. D. Customerswho would purchase cars.15)What’s the main theme of the passage?A. The US has most of the cars in the world.B. China will soonsurpass the US in the car market. C. Americans’ lives have changed a lotwith the car industry. D. Europeans were living in poverty after World WarII.参考答案：11) C 12) A 13) B 14) D 15) CWhat do Leonardo da Vinci (达芬奇) and Albert Einstein have in common? They were both left-handed, along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso (毕加索). In fact, an estimated 11 percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed.Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various time in history starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common.Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, vegetarianism, and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations, including professional baseball and tennis players, architects, lawyers, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others haven’t been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, while two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during their birth.Whatever the reasons behind it, people’s attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-12 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down upon nor are they considered abnormal.For most people today either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now that specialize in selling products designed for left-handed people, such as left-handed scissors, can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera. Don’t you think it’s wond erful?16)From studying works of art, scientists have learned that ________.A. left-handed people are better artistsB. most artists are left-handedC. most people in history were right-handedD. cave drawings weredrawn using both hands17)What is talking about in the Paragraph 3?A. People with certain characteristics are better at certain jobs.B. Left-handed people are better at some jobs.C. Left-handedness islinked with certain characters and occupations. D. There are somereasons why people are left-handed.18)Why is a person right-handed?A. It is caused by the person’s parents.B. It is due to the environmentthe person lives in. C. It is suffered a mild brain damage at birth. D. Itis not sure about specific reasons yet.19)What can be assumed about the children of two left-handed parents?A. Many of them are left-handed.B. Most of them are right-handed.C. Most of them use both hands equally.D. Very few of them are left-handed.20)Left-handed children ________.A. are usually looked down uponB. are exceptionally talented likeEinstein C. are thought of as abnormal D. were often forced to become right-handed参考答案：16) C 17) C 18) D 19) A 20) DWhat is the value of the humanities? Why should we study the humanities given the current economic recession? In this new era of continuous unemployment slides and shrinking university funds, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency.While the humanities may not seem as important as engineering, chemistry, or any of the other “hard” sciences, it still plays a significant role in the world. There is a great misunderstanding of what the humanities are and what they can do. People often assume that the humanities are just about reading the great literary and philosophical works and understanding the question of what living is for.I would argue that humanities – at least from a Cultural Studies perspective –is much more than reading the classic works and speculating about the meaning of life. In Cultural Studies, we apply theory to practice. Thinking and acting outside of the ivory tower, Cultural Studies attempts to produce research that engages with the public. As a cultural researcher, I am constantly asking myself the “So what?” question. Why does this topic matter? Why should people care?This continuous self-questioning helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. While I am learning for the sake of learning, I believe scholars have the responsibility to think about the ways in which their research relates to the larger picture. What is the point of research if it doesn’t affect the way people think about and act in the world?One thing I think Cultural Studies does effectively is rethinking the way we have traditionally thought about things. In Cultural Studies, few things –if anything –are taken for granted. Our research is largely driven by thequestion of what it means to be human. Through critical and creative engagement, we attempt to speculate on a question in a way that inspires people to imagine what might be instead of what is.This critical and creative engagement is especially important given the worsening state of the economy and the need for creative ways of being in the world.21)Why has the question of studying the humanities taken on new urgency?A. More people have realized its importance.B. It has become amore interesting topic. C. It’s driven by the current economic downturn.D. It’s compelled by today’s complex world.22)According to the author, what’s the assumption of the general public?A. “Hard” sciences are more important than the humanities.B. Mostpeople don’t know who they are and what they can do. C. People don’treally understand the meaning of life. D. The humanities are only to do with literatures and philosophies.23)What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. It asks “So what?” question.B. It argues to support the humanities.C. It produces research to get involved with people.D. It tries to think and act outside of the ivory tower.24)What is the author’s point in Paragraph 4?A. Do the research that will impact on people.B. Bridge the gapbetween theory and practice. C. Learn things for the sake of learning.D. Lake the responsibility to do research.25)According to the author, “rethinking” means ________.A. to think what it means to be humanB. to believe nothing is certainC. to question the traditional way of thinkingD. to use a unique way of thinking参考答案：21) C 22) D 23) B 24) A 25) C完型填空20题，总分值：30分Directions： There are some blanks in the following passage.

长篇阅读10题，总分值：20分Directions：You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Proactive Strategies to Build a Social LifeA) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should just happen and develop naturally, without you needing to do anything. I disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of their life, it’s not always the case, which is why many of us today lack a fulfilling social life. If you’re in college where you get to hang around lots of other people and you’re naturally a social perso n, your social circle will develop on its own. But if you’re an accountant working in cubicle all day and you’re kind of shy and don’t go out much, your social life may be seriously deficient.B) In my view, building a social life requires the same active and strategic approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from this angle, I want to show you some proactive (积极主动的) strategies to build a social life.C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having just a few friends, but who are very close to us. And some prefer a mix of the two. What is your preference? Do you know? Take some time to think about this and visualize what your ideal social circle would look like.D) Another aspect to think about is what kind of people you want in your social circle. Do you prefer people who are artistic, or people who are tech-oriented? People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors? Usually, you will get along best with individuals who are similar to you. So I advise you to consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are important for you to find in others. If you know what kind of people you want in your life, you’re much more likely to find them.E) Once you know how many and what kind of friends you’re looking for, it’stime to take action in order to meet them. This may seem obvious, but it’s s omething many of us ignore: If you just wait for others to come to you, you’ll never build a social circle. You must have the initiative and go to them.F) My recommendation here is to think about activities where you are likely to meet people you’d enjoy interacting with, and get involved in a few of them. For instance, you may take a class on a topic you’re interested in. You may volunteer for a charity organization or join some sort of club. Even if you don’t have any friends whatsoever at this point, you can apply this strategy. You can get involved in such activities all by yourself, and you’ll meet others there.G) In using this strategy, the Internet is your friend. You can discover all sorts of classes, social events, clubs and organizations near you online. But keep in mind that this is only the first step. Then you need to actually get out of the house, go there and participate.H) So you attend a training program on, let’s say, urban photography. There are lots of other people there. What do you do? In general, the passive approach tends to prevail. Many of us just sit around doing nothing and expect others to come talk to us, ask us questions, and be chatty. And this may happen, or it may not. One thing I’m certain of, though, is that it’s not t he best approach. You want to be friendly first. Be the one to break the ice.I) Walk up to other people and introduce yourself to them. Then start chatting with them. For example, ask them how they found out about the event, how long they’ve been interes ted in urban photography, change from there into other topics, and if they seem to enjoy talking to you (which they almost always will), keep the conversation going. Doing this may not be easy at first, especially if you’re not used to being this outgoing,but it’s something you get used to with practice. The trick is not to let hesitancy prevent you from being social. And I can tell from experience that if you are social and friendly with new people first, they’ll love you for it.J) If you’re building a new social life from scratch, the beginning is always the hardest part. However, once you’ve met a few people, it gets a lot easier because you can then make use of them to meet even more people. You can then meet some of their friends and acquaintances, and expand your social circle further.K) Again, a proactive approach works miracles. Let your friends know that you’re interested in meeting new people and you’d love to be introduced to other people they know. If they indeed are your friends, they’ll lov e to help you out. They may invite you to come with them to parties they go to, they may call other people to join you when you go out, and they’ll introduce you to new people. But you have to let them know their help is desired.L) The best part is that the bigger your social circle becomes, the easier it is to employ this strategy. Your social life will expand faster and faster, and you’ll find it progressively easier to find people you match well with.M) Your social life is completely in your hands. You can have a social life as rich, connected and diverse as you want. All you need is to do a bit of smart planning in this area, and take massive action. There is certainly no shortage of possibilities to meet people and make friends. It’s up to you to ca pitalize on them. Good luck!1)You will meet some people you would like to interact with when you take part in some activities. F2)People’s ideas of a satisfying social life vary from person to person. C3)You can enlarge your social circle by taking advantage of your current friends. J4)Nowadays many people lack a happy and satisfying social life because their social life doesn’t always develop naturally as they think. A5)You have complete control over your social life and you can have a fulfilling one by making plans and taking actions. M6)The common thing between building a social life and building a career is that they both require using some methods and strategies actively. B7)It’s not easy to be outgoing and sociable among the people you don’t know, but you’ll be used to it with practice. I8)It will be helpful in building your ideal social circle if you know your major characteristics and personality. D9)Many people often ignore that they should go to find friends actively and not simply wait for others to come to them. E10)Suppose you participate in a training program, you are advised to be friendly and break the silence first. H参考答案：1) F 2) C 3) J 4) A 5) M 6) B 7) I 8) D 9) E 10) H阅读理解15题，总分值：30分Directions：Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling. A sister? Maybe. An emergency? Possibly. A mother? Probably not at that time of night. Much more likely it is a close female friend—someone calling to tell you that she has split up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships of intimacy and trust are becoming more and more important. Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane. “I was very sick one night, and so I called Jane at about 3:00a.m. to talk about it,” she says. “She was very su pportive and even came over to take me to the doctor’s the next morning.”As American TV shows like Friends, which follows the lives of a very close group of young friends, have become very popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships. TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with ourclose friends if we want to survive. Also, a TV show called Real Women is about the lives and relationships of five former school friends. In this show, family, husbands, and work are all less important than friendships. Friendship is about commitment and loyalty.This is true of Erika and Jane’s friendship. With Erica’s family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to E rika’s apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away. “Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom. It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends. “My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them. Friends are more up to date with what is happeni ng.”11)Friendship is becoming more important because ________.A. people often do not live near their familiesB. people do not getalong with their families C. families are not as dependable as friendsD. all marriages end in divorce12)Friends have become more important than family because ________.A. friends are more intimate than family membersB. friends need tobe together all the time C. friends are there when these people need helpD. friends can talk about anything to each other13)Good friends usually ________.A. see each other after a long time and are still friendsB. trust andsay “thank you” to each other C. trust each other and treat each othernicely D. do not always have to tell each other truth14)Why does the author mention two TV shows about friendship?A. Friends need to be loyal to each other.B. Friendship meanscommitment and sacrifice. C. Friends shouldn’t keep secret to each other.D. Friendship is becoming more important nowadays.15)What can you infer from the passage?A. Nothing is more important than friendship.B. Friends are just like anew family in many ways. C. People should help each other to establishfriendship. D. Friends are those who can help when they are needed.参考答案：11) A 12) C 13) C 14) D 15) BCan you imagine life without French fries? Potatoes are very popular today. They are the fourth most important crop in the world, after wheat, rice, and corn. But in the past, potatoes were not always popular. People in Europe started to eat them only 200 years ago!In the 1500s, the Spanish went to South America to look for gold. There, they found people eating potatoes for 7000 years! The Spanish brought the potato back to Europe with them. But people in Europe did not like this strange vegetable. Some people thought that if you ate potatoes, your skin would look like the skin of a potato. Other people could not believe that you ate the underground part of the plant, so they ate the leaves instead. This made themsick because there is poison in the leaves. Others grew potatoes for their flowers. At one time in France, potato flowers were one of the most expensive flowers.Around 1780, the people of Ireland started to eat potatoes. They found that potatoes had many advantages. The potato grew on poor land, and it grew well in their cold and rainy climate. It gave more food than any other plant, and it needed little work. All they had to do was to plant the potatoes, and then they could do other work on the farm. On a small piece of land, a farmer could grow enough potatoes to feed his family. A person could eat eight to ten pounds of potatoes a day, with some milk or cheese, and be very healthy. Soon, potatoes became the main food in Ireland. In 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger. Many Irish who did not die came to the United States at this time.In other parts of Europe, people did not want to change their old food habits. Some preferred to die of hunger rather than eat potatoes. Today, many countries have their own potato dishes. Germans eat potato salad, the United States has the baked potato, and the French invented French fries.16)Which statement is true?A. Potatoes are only popular in France.B. Potatoes are not verypopular today. C. Potatoes are the most important crop in the world.D. Potatoes were not very popular in the past.17)In the 1500s, people in Europe ________.A. found gold and potatoes from PeruB. found potatoes could harmpeople’s ski n C. found potatoes were strange vegetables D. found potatoes and invented French fries18)Only in about 1780 did people start to ________.A. grow potatoes for their flowersB. go to Peru to look for goldC. eat potatoes in IrelandD. eat eight to ten pounds of potatoes a day19)What is one of the advantages of potatoes?A. They grow well in cold and dry weather.B. They have higherproductivity compared with others. C. They can be grown with other plants.D. They can be eaten along with milk or cheese.20)What statement best illustrates the main idea of the passage?A. How potatoes become popular.B. Why potatoes are a goodvegetable. C. Why potatoes are healthy and tasty. D. How potatoes have been consumed.参考答案：16) D 17) C 18) C 19) B 20) AWhen looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire, have proved to have millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-Wright, dated 15 women to find the one who was his ideal partner. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright, took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensiverestaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each show, he would choose between one and three of the contestants, with whom he had felt the least compatible, and say goodbye to them.At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn’t find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn’t see it working, “He wasn’t my cup of tea.” In a nother show the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestant’s name. “You called me by another girl’s name. I can’t believe you did that. I really liked you,” she sobbed. But in the final show, the woman he eventual ly chose decided she didn’t want to marry him after all. “I think you’ve chosen me because you have to choose someone,” she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love with the show’s host!After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright a nd the show’s host Jonsson tied the knot in Sweden. Has Jonsson finally found Mr. Right? Only time will tell. But none of the guests at the wedding could deny the happiness in the couple’s eyes as the bride and groom left the wedding ceremony.21)What is this passage mainly about?A. How a famous couple met and got married.B. The best way tomeet a husband or wife. C. Why the show Mr. Right was a big hit.D.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.These days it is very common for young men to give flowers to young women when they are in love, but this hasn’t always been the custom. In the 1700s in Turkey, it was quite 26) popular for people in love to secretly send each other baskets full of strange things. 27) Usually , an old woman who soldflowers or fruit on the street was 28) (inclined) to leave the basket beside the door of someone receiving it.These gift baskets 29) included a variety of objects such as flowers, stones, feathers, and even charcoal (木炭). Each thing in the basket had a(n) 30) special meaning and by figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who 31) (deserved) to receive the basket could determine the true feelings of the giver. This idea of sending gifts of love with 32) concealed meanings quickly spread to Germany, France, and England. 33) Unfortunately , over time, only sending flowers remained popular.A 34) bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feelings in the hearts of young men. Each 35) cute flower had a different meaning. For example, pink flowers 36) (confessed)the feeling, “My love for you is strong and great.” The flowers from an orange tree meant, “You’re beautiful and pure.” Yellow roses, 37) on the other hand , meant, “I saw you with someone else.” Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love 38) (clarify) the meaning of the flowers they received.Not all of the dictionaries agreed 39) on the definite meaning of each flower, though, so a person had to be 40) cautious about what flowers they chose to send. For example, 41) depending on which dictionary you used and which color you gave, a young man’s roses could42) convey different meanings, “I love you,” “love is dangerous,” or even, “my love has decreased.” The 43) notion of using flowers to send messages had fallen out of 44) fashion by the 1880s. Afterwards, sending love letters, a 45) (more direct) way to express love commenced. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flowers has been lost.26)A. averageB. popularC. familiarD. standard27)A. UsuallyB. MostlyC. ChieflyD.

Each word can be used only once.Choosing a husband or wife is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. In many cultures, young men and women are46) daring to choose their own marriage partners. In some cultures, however, parents 47) reserve the right to arrange their children’s marriages. Such arranged marriages have both advantages and disadvantages.One advantage of having parents arrange a marriage is financial 48) security . Of course, money doesn’t automatically bringhappiness, but a 49) lack of money certainly causes stress in any relationship. A second advantage of an arranged marriage is that parents may 50) make a better choice than their children. They are not only older but also more 51) superior in life experience. Also, parents have been married; therefore, they know better what qualities are 52) desirable in a spouse.On the other hand, arranged marriages may have some disadvantages. One obvious disadvantage is that parents may choose a wrong person in 53) haste , and the young couple may never be happy together. A second obvious disadvantage is that a young man or woman may already have 54) fallen in love with someone else. If the parents force their children to tie the knot, the result will be a disaster to all concerned.In conclusion, neither an arranged marriage nor a marriage for love is a good 55) formula to be happy. Both kinds of marriages take work, patience, and perhaps a little bit of luck.• A. dictate• B. deserve• C. make• D. reserve• E. charity• F. formula•G. security•H. demanding•I. daring•J. fallen•K. lack•L. desirable•M. available•N. haste•O. superior46) daring 47) reserve 48) security 49) lack 50) make 51) superior 52) desirable 53) haste 54) fallen 55) formula。
