Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with violent changes. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.1. The following factors tend to promote social change EXCEPT _________.A) different kinds of peopleB) different points of viewC) different interestsD) different conditions2. The expression “greater tolerance”(Para.1) refers to “_________”.A) more respect for different beliefs and behaviorsB) quicker adaptation to changing circumstancesC) greater willingness to changeD) greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas3. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE within a society?A) Social change is less likely to occur in technology than in values.B) What people learned in their early times tends to change quickly.C) The basic and emotional aspects of society tend to slow down social change.D) Strange elements are likely to quicken social change.4. Social change is easier if it takes place _______.A) step by stepB) among Black AmericansC) between Black Americans and their white counterpartsD) between Black Americans and other Americans minorities5. The passage mainly discusses _______.A) the necessity of social change.B) certain factors that determine the ease with which social change occurs.C) the way to slow down social change.D) how to promote social change.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Bombay wasn’t the ideal place to get sick — not when my doctor, family and friends were half a world away. I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, I had bought t ravel insurance. So my illness didn’t cost me a cent.It’s actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province —at the insurance company’s expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice —you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket — unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what you’ll lose if you have to cancel your tri p in the event that you get sick and you don’t have cancellation insurance.6. What happened to the author when he was in Bombay?A) He fell ill and couldn’t go home as schedule d.B) He didn’t buy travel insurance.C) He spent a lot of money on curing his illness.D) He couldn’t get in touch with his family and friends.7. With a health insurance policy, if you get sick traveling away from home, _________.A) you may get pocket money from the local hospital you are inB) your family members may go to see yo u at the insurance company’s expenseC) you may choose to stay in the best local hospitalD) you may get a nurse from the insurance company to take care of you8. Which item was paid by the insurance company when the author was ill in Bombay?A) His trip to Bombay.B) All his hotel rates.C) All his meals at his hotel.D) His travel insurance policy.9. With cancellation insurance, you can _________.A) have a choice where to go and where to stayB) get your money back when canceling your travel ticketC) enjoy a reduced rate of travel expenseD) buy a refundable ticket at the ticket office10. From the passage we may say that _________.A) a health insurance policy is more useful than a cancellation insurance policyB) a cancellation insurance policy can make your trip safe and comfortableC) when you get sick while traveling away from home, you’d better buy a health insuranceD) travel insurance is strongly recommended when you travel away from home……Part IV ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following two passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that best fits into the passages. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.PUNS are even more ____1____ forms of word play. They use the technique of similar sounding words or _____2____meanings of the same word. Puns are thought by some critics to be the lowest form of humor, but I disagree with this. Puns require more subtle and ___3____language skills than most humor forms, but even the very young can use them in their simpler forms. For example, the “riddle” or trick question often uses a pun in the ____4____, the story line, or, more often, the punch line. Puns are the first type of humor I learned, and at about 5 years of age I remember hearing the ____5____ riddle. One person asks, “What is black and white and red all over?” The other person usually cannot answer the riddle, so says, “I ___6____. What is the answer?” The riddles ___7____, “A newspaper.” This is the ____8___ answer if one knows that “red” is pronounced the same as “read” in English, but the meanings are clearly different.DOUBLE ENTENDRES (French for double meanings) are special ____9___ of puns ____10___ words or phrases have double meanings. ____11___ the two meanings are very different, and one is quite ____12____ while the second is often, but not always, ____13____. Ilike the ____14___ mild story of a school teacher and a principal of a high school who are concerned because some boys and girls ____15___kissing on the school playground. The teacher says to the students, “The principal and I have decided to stop kissing on the school playgroun d.”____16____ some laughter, she senses her message was not altogether clear, so she adds, “WhatI mean ___17____is that there will be ____18____ kissing going on ____19____.” This___20____, of course, does nothing to correct the first statement and the double meaning of the joke becomes even more laughable.1.
