For each of them there are four choicesmarked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OnePassage 1One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes."Only one man wrote like that," the librarian said to himself. "It was Galileo who wrote these notes!"Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileo's death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileo's notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileo's notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileo's experiments were saved.31.The librarian got Galileo's notes from __D__.A the butcherB VivianiC a family living in Viviani's houseD the market near Viviani's house32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true?

Now there’s medical evidence th at women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less able to break down alcohol.Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcoholappears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man.Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream in the form ofpure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics －particularly women －who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men.36. " break down" in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _B___.A. "split into"B. "decompose"C. "share"D. "cut down"37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? AA. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men.B.

The enzyme activity is the lowest in __C__.A. women who do not drinkB. men who do not drinkC. women who often drinkD. men who often drink40.Men may be in advantageous position over women in drinking because __D__.A. they are stronger and of bigger sizeB. their livers are more resistant to liver damageC. they have a bigger stomachD. less alcohol they drink will appear in the bloodstreamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not too happy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides 0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find:Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on average.A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need an extra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the past few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly dama ging to men’s happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Men’s happiness has trended up. Women’s sense of well-being, though higher than that of men, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, people’s sense of well-being goes down to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors suggest, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesn’t have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Well-Being of the Young”.41. Extra money___C__.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42. Which of the following statements is not true? CA. Generally, first marriages are the happiest ones.B. Parents’ divorce will also decrease the children’s happiness.C. African-Americans ten to be happier than other people.D. Being jobless will decrease men’s happiness level.43. The passage states that __A___.A. women’s happiness level has gone down sharplyB. the educated people ten to be happier than less educated people becausethey have higher incomeC. women tend to be less happy than men because there exists prejudiceagainst womenD. higher income will certainly go with greater education44. generally, ___B__ have the lowest sense of well-being.A. people above 40B. people around 40C. people under 40D. people under 3045. A good title for this passage is “__B___”.A. Happiness LevelB. Happiness IndexC. Happiness and Life SatisfactionD. Sense of Well-BeingPassage FourThe Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows,handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves, his host will tell him "You will be welcome again". These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.46. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in __B__.A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guestsB) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideasC) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big partiesD) their specific ritual and concern about good manners47."Invariably" in the second paragraph can be best replaced with _D__.A) "often" B) "usually" C) "sometimes" D) "always"48. It cannot be inferred from the passage that the Swedes are _A___.A) hard-working B) polite C) considerate D) efficient49. According to the passage, the Swedish social ritual doesn’t include __D__.A) greetings B) bows C) handshaking D) embraces50. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA) People can hear the priest more clearly with the hearing aids in the church.B) The Swedes' homes are among the best equipped ones in the world.C) Travelers will be most satisfied when travelling in Sweden.D) It's very convenient to make a call in booths in Sweden.III Cloze 20%If you were to begin a new job tomorrow, you would bring with you some basicstrengths and weaknesses.
