英语第一单元测试题阅读Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes.Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest human being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.1.All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true except _____A______.A.he was born in the USAB. he was a great film actorC. he had an unhappy early lifeD. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films2.According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved by generation after generation because ______D______.A.he set the whole world laughingB. his performances get people involvedC. his works appeal to people in different periodsD. both B and C3.According to the writers of Charlie Chaplin's life history, _____C____ had a strong influence on the type of films he made.A.the society in which he livedB. the audience who praised and admired himC. his unhappy early years in the poor area in LondonD. those who called him a genius4. According to the passage, which of the following is true? ( D )A. There are timeless qualities in Chaplin's work because he didn't involve himself in political affairs.B.

This passage was ______B______.A. written by Charlie ChaplinB. written about Charlie ChaplinC. advertising one of Charlie Chaplin's filmsD. written for students to learn film-making2. Although Beethoven could sit down and compose easily, his really great compositions did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work and he always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his ears. As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any composer to bear. Beethoven was without hope; he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside where he wrote a long good-bye letter to his brothers, describing how sad and lonely his deafness made him. He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will; I shall meet you bravely."In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could hear what he wrote more and more faintly. He wrote the music for which we remember him best after he became deaf. This music was very different from any that had been composed before. Instead of the artistic and beautiful music that earlier composers had written for their rich listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous (勇敢的) life. His Heroic (英雄的) Symphony (交响乐) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could "hear" his music in his mind. He was lonely and often unhappy but in spite of this, he often wrote joyful music, such as his last symphony, the Ninth. Because of his courage and strong will to triumph, his music has given joy and encouragement to millions of people.6. How did Beethoven's deafness affect him? ( D )A. It killed him.B. It stopped his writing music.C. It drove him mad.D. It helped him create great music.7. Which of the following music works written by Beethoven was joyful? ( A )A. No. 9 Symphony.B. No. 7 Symphony.C.

His music became more and more artistic although he was deaf.C. He wrote fainter and fainter music after he went deaf.D. He composed exciting and encouraging music that reflected his struggle with his fate.第二单元测试题阅读English food is thought of poorly in other countries. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged (不得不) to eat in the more fast-food type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large amounts, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment (营养), is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always pleasantly presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry (at least at lunch), and a meal eaten in a leisurely way in pleasant surroundings is always far more enjoyable than a meal taken quickly in a business-like environment. In general, it is possible to get a good meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food in other countries. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favorably with the best in any country. In many countries breakfast is a snack (点心) rather than a meal, but the typical English breakfast is a full meal. Some people have a bowl of hot or cold cereal(谷物) to begin with. Then comes a large and filling course, usually cooked, such as bacon (腊肉) and eggs, or some other type of meat. Yorkshire ham (火腿) is also a breakfast many people enjoy. Afterwards comes toast, with butter and marmalade (果子酱), and perhaps some fruit. Tea or coffee is drunk with the meal. Many English people now take such a full breakfast only on Sunday morning.1. Food in the more fast-food type of restaurant in Britain is always ______D_____.A. served in large amountsB. very pleasant in appearanceC. quite acceptable for foreignersD. not so delicious2. According to the passage, English food is _____A____ in terms of nourishment.A. actually quite satisfactoryB. not good at allC. always very simpleD. always taken in pleasant surroundings despite its poor taste3. Foreigners in Britain always choose to _______D_________.A. eat the most typical foodB. have a full breakfast every dayC. buy the least expensive foodD. have their meals in the more fast-food type of restaurant4. Which of the following statements is probably true? BA. Englishmen always talk about time while eating.B. The same meal would be more enjoyable if eaten in better surroundings.C. It's almost impossible for any British restaurant to rank among the best in the world.D. People can hardly get enough food at a reasonable price in Britain.5. Which of the following statements is probably NOT true? CA. Many Englishmen have a full breakfast only once a week.B. Typical breakfast in Britain is a meal rather than a snack.C. Englishmen are so stuck in their old ways that they have a full breakfast every day.D. English people always have tea or coffee with a full breakfast instead of fruit juice.Failure to take time to plan and prepare is one of the major mistakes committed by sales negotiators (谈判). Related to this is weak information gathering. Neither your information gathering nor your planning can be effective without first engaging in negotiation with yourself or within your company, i.e., the agreements that may be necessary before negotiation with the customer.Once your face-to-face negotiating begins, any number of factors can influence the result. Going forth with a rigid mind-set (心态), giving concessions (让步) too early, answering too quickly to each demand, not calling time-out, and not putting yourself into the customer's shoes, are common mistakes in many sales negotiations. Finally, not being careful during the follow-through results in a lack of success even in an effective negotiation.Let us take the case of Ted Jeffries, a newly appointed sales representative for a maker of kitchen equipment. His main line is prefabricated (预制的) ovens. In addition to building additional sales with existing buyers, he is responsible for finding new buyers in some rapidly growing areas.Ted had been very effective with a previous company selling a line of building supplies to buyers by telephone. So he is not without some experience. He has some very positive selling strengths and he is doing reasonably well in closing some early sales. But he is beginning to find that some sales come at a "higher price" than others. Let's see what seems to be his problem. Ted is making his first call to long-time buyers, Lexington Kitchens. He hopes to renegotiate (重新谈判) the buying agreement with Ms. Sue Parker, manager of Lexington.6. According to the passage, what must be done before a sales negotiator (谈判者) works with his customer? DA. Information gathering.B. Planning for the negotiation with the customer.C. Visiting his customers frequently.D. Reaching an agreement within the sales network.7. Which of the following is NOT listed as one of the mistakes that a sales negotiator tends to make? DA. Not flexible (灵活机动的) enough.B. Giving in to customers' demands too easily.C. Not being aware of the proper time to stop negotiating for the moment.D. Not leaving enough time to the other party for thinking about the purchase.8. According to the passage, what is a sales negotiator advised to do after an effective negotiation? BA. Prepare for the next negotiation immediately.B. Spend some time on follow-up activities.C. Hold a celebration to encourage himself.D. Call the buyer immediately to express gratitude for their purchase.9. Which of the following statements about Ted is true? AA. He is a salesperson with a fair amount of experience.B. He used to work for a maker of kitchen equipment and did his job well.C. His job is to deal with their customers.D. He is now selling building supplies to buyers.10. What might follow in Ted's story? CA. Ted will contact customers to find out some problems.B. Ted will demand all buyers sell their products at the same prices.C. Ted will negotiate with Ms. Sue Parker about the buying agreement.D. Ted will choose Lexington Kitchens as their sole buyer.第三单元测试题阅读A little noticed change has been taking place in our time-world. The arrival of digital (数字的) time has been changing the way we act and think. I believe that it has put us to a higher level of anxiety, with greater expectations of efficiency.The old, round, hand-moved time still kept a certain connection to the natural flow of things, to the roundness of the earth, and to the changes of light and seasons. Old, round time was outside ourselves, far enough removed from us so we could ignore it if we so chose.It is not so with digital time, which is a beat. It beats instead of turning. It makes a sound like the sound of the heart and thus places itself smoothly into the body. More and more, we mistake its regular beat for our own, thus mistaking the demands of the world for our wishes. Before wrist watches, time used to live in towers in the centers of towns. At that distance, it could be seen by everybody, but only if they so wished. It took an effort, an actual visit to "time". But then something happened. Time began to live with us, and now it is beginning to live in us.I remember what it was like to be a child, absorbed in the endlessly changeable thing of time. For me there was only child time, divided meaninglessly and quite painfully by the orders of the parents into Bedtime, Wakeup Time, and School Time. But within each of those divisions (分割), Eternity still ruled. Later, of course, they managed to infect me with the anxious demands of clock time. Very soon, all that remained was the anxiety of that which was exact. The fast beats of the timepiece (时钟) cut Eternity to pieces.Occasionally, I stop long enough to recall the times of childhood, but not often enough. Like everybody else, I am helpless before the new technologies. Time is a virus, and it is growing stronger.1. Digital time has changed how we act and think by ____ C_______.A. allowing us to work with more efficiencyB. giving us more time to do what we likeC. causing us to be more anxiousD. having us expect more of others2. The author thinks that the old clocks ______A___________.A. are somehow linked with the seasonal changesB. stay closer to people than a digital watchC. are connected with human's handsD. work better than a wrist watch3.

In the author's early childhood memory, ________B_________.A. time was a concrete thingB. time seemed to have no endC. he fought against his parents' idea of timeD. he enjoyed the anxiety of precision (精确)5. The author's attitude towards time in the modern world is ________C____.A. PositiveB. unclearC. NegativeD. in the middlePepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. The servants (女仆) were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see it. So he set to work to tidy (整理) his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a baker's house in Pudding Lane (小巷), and then the flames (火焰) had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.6.

He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house!

There are three main groups of islands—Vava'u in the north, Ha'apai in the middle, and Tongatapu in the south. Most of the eastern islands are made up of dead animal remains. The higher islands in the west were formed by a process of mountain building. Large areas on these islands are too mountainous to be used for crops. Some of the mountains are still active—which means that they can be dangerous. Many of the smaller islands do not have any people on them. There are only two large towns—Nukualofa, the capital, and Neiafu. These towns are Tonga's chief ports. Tonga has few natural resources. The most important resources are a pleasant sunny climate and natural beauty, which attract growing numbers of tourists. Because of its location, Tonga is sometimes hit by storms. One such storm, in 1982, caused high winds and huge waves that destroyed many homes, including almost all of the buildings in Nuku'alofa.Tonga was a British protected state from 1900 until 1970, when it became fully free from foreign rule again. Britain was responsible for Tonga's foreign affairs, but the Tongan nobles still controlled local matters. For most of this period, Tonga was ruled by Queen Salote Tupou III. During the time of her leadership, education and health care were expanded and women were given the right to help choose the leaders. The Tongan government is a mixture of Polynesian tradition and Western methods. The government, in part, is made up of aseven-member body appointed by the king, seven nobles chosen by the nobles, and seven persons chosen by all adult citizens.Tonga's small size, lack of resources, and growing population have created problems. But the country is well governed, and sound plans for the future are being made.6. According to the passage, Tonga is ____C____.A. a small country to the North of the United StatesB. a country with very rich natural resourcesC. is a country made up of more than a hundred small islandsD. is a country whose government depends totally on Britain7. Which of the following statements about Tonga is NOT true? CA. Tonga attracts large numbers of tourists every year.B. Tonga is subject to natural disasters because of it location.C. The islands in Tonga are quite fit for growing crops.D. Tonga doesn't have many large cities.8. What is true about Tonga's political status? BA. Tonga's foreign affairs are still controlled by the British.B. Tonga became free from the UK over thirty years ago.C. Tonga is not governed well because women have power.D. Tongan women have very high social status.9. Which of the following is the problem that Tonga is facing now? AA. The lack of natural resources and its small size.B. Hunger of its people because of crop problems.C. Failure of health care and education systems.D. Social problems and disorders since 1970.10.
