There are 3 passages in this section. 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 make the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few. For example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together. But beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests. They often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with annoying (令人讨厌的) habits and to stand differences.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association (友谊) between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that result from sharedexperiences and emotions do seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers (障碍) of age, class or race.41. According to the passage, _______.A) every student has six friends.B) friends are those who must share their interests.C) all the people know how to make friends.D) friends are closer than people who just get on with each other.42. Together with your friends_______.A) you are open to all of them.B) you’ll feel being supported and understood.C) experiences and emotions should always be shared.D) such factors like age and background won’t get in the way.43. We can learn from the passage that_________.A) standing differences in opinion can lead to friendship.B) friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices.C) there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship.D) friendship can overcome all differences between two people.44. When people talk about “being on the same wavelength”( Para.2, L.3), they mean thatthey________.A) watch the same TV programB) are the same in all waysC) have the same backgroundD) share the same way of thinking and the same interests45. Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?A) Friends never argue with each other.B) Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.C) Even friends may have different opinions.D) It generally takes time for people to become close friends.Passage TwoQuestions 45-49 are based on the following passage.A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London Church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”“ How did you ite your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.“ Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket is a slip (纸条) cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read. “ Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings (先令) on leaving it at No.10 Broad Street.”“ Now,” said the merchant, “ I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great omportance. Let us try for your unbrella again, andif it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.” The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote. “ If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.46. Why did the man want to find it back even though it will cost him twice worth of the umbrellain advertising?A) Because the man loved it very much.B) Because the man was very sad.C) Because the umbrella was made of black silk.D) Because the umbrella was a present.47. The result of the first advertisement was that ________.A) the man got his umbrella backB) nobody found the missing umbrellaC) the man wasted some money advertisingD) the umbrella was found somewhere near the Church48. “ If it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.” ( Para. 4, L.2-3) suggested that he________.A) was quite sure of successB) did not know what to doC) was rich enough to afford a new umbrellaD) was not sure whether he would get the umbrella back49. This is a story about _________.A) a useless adverstiment B) how to make an effective advertisementC) how the man lost and found his umbrellaD) what the merchant did for the umbrella ownerPassage ThreeQuestions 50-53 are based on the following passage.In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertainintg (查明) certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company rmation about most majorcorporations is available in reference books.After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impressions come from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews appropriate dress for men is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie. For women a conservative suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length hair.Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy (邋遢的) dress, and overly causal manner unsuited for this particular position.50. For whom is the passage most likely written?A) An employee B) An employe C) An interviewee D) An interviewer.51. Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about ________.A) most major corporationsB) the company he wants to work forC) reference books and periodicalsD) business and philosophy52. What the applicant wears, as the author suggests, can make him look _________.A) personal B) conservative C) informative D) impressive53. What is the author trying to tell us by the example in the last paragraph?A) The importance of personal taste.B) The importance of public relations.C) The importance of first impression.D) The importance of self-confidence.Section B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions:Read the following two business letters. After reading them, you are required to complete the statements that follow the questions numbered 54 to 57.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. Y ou should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1When a customer finds that an item he bought is faulty or does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单) or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means thecustomer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. It this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general sta tements. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible, but if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller toa private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer’s rights.36. The passage tells us __.A. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemB. how to deal with complaint from customersC. how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty item.D. how to avoid buying a faulty item37. If the consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it is better to complain to __.A. a public organizationB. the manufacturerC. the store managerD. a shop assistant38. Suppose a consumer finds fault in his tape recorder, what would he say to the store manager?A. This is the warranty; you must change a new one for me.B. This tape recorder is not so good as before.C. The sound coming our of the right speaker is unclear.D. This tape recorder doesn’t work.39. The most effective complaint can be made by __.A. asking politely to change the itemB. saying firmly that the item is of poor qualityC. showing the faulty item to the manufacturerD. explaining exactly what is wrong with the item40. When a customer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to __.A. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseB. show some written proof of the purchase to the storeC. complain personally to the managerD. threaten to take the matter to courtTask 2The home computer industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the last ten years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses.Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories (库存货物) and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend and turn appliances on and off.One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. They have been going toArcades where the computer games can be played for a small cost. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.41. Computers in the United States __.A. used to be niceB. used to be large and expensiveC. used to be heavyD. used to be too small to use42.

People of all agesB. ChildrenC. Y oung peopleD. Old people45. It may be concluded that __.A. computers can solve complex problemsB. computers are new machinesC. computers have been widely used by AmericansD. computers are domestic robotsTask 3Child labor – the employment of children in industry, often against their will –has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small factories and family businesses.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often slight, it is often harmful to the health.

There are3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefullyand do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find5 unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Youshould make the best choice and mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. Wetend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “thet ruth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on televisionor in newspapers can’t be bad for us.However, encouragement of critical thinking in students isone of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professorsrequire students to share the professors’ own beliefs. Ingeneral,professors are more concerned that students learn toquestion and critically examine the arguments of others,including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not meanthat professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It doesmean, however, professors will usually ask you to support theviews you express in class or in your writing.If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are notlogical, professors personally point out the false reasoning inyour arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognizethe premises of your arguments, to examine whether you reallyaccept these premises, and to understand whether or not youdraw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don’t tellyou what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professorsin class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument insupport of your ideas. Argument just for the sake of arguingusually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.36. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us thatpeople .A. grow up through learning certain things in lifeB. easily accept certain things without a second thoughtC. have strong beliefs in authorities while getting oldD. are forming their views during their growth37. Nowadays, most colleges and universities encouragestudents to ____________ .A. give their own ideasB.share professors'beliefsC. criticize othersD.change their own beliefs38. The word “shaky” ( line 1, para. 3 ) most probablymeans “ ”.A. creativeB. firmC. weakD. false39. To help students develop their critical thinking, professorsmainly teach them .A. choice of their premisesB. different kinds ofargumentC. skills of drawing conclusionsD. the way to think independently40. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to .A. support your idea with sound reasoningB. prove it witha good conclusionC. argue mainly for the sake of arguingD.examine others’ ideas criticallyTask 2Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find5 unfinished statements, numbered 41 through 45. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Youshould make the best choice and mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.It would be difficult to have a society like ours without publicgoods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducingthe use of it for another person. One of the best examples of apublic good is national defense. One person can benefit form ournational defense without reducing another person’s benefits. Infact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoyingthe benefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $ 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $ 100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.41. According to the passage, public goods are .A. taxes paid by the people involvedB. products that we make for national defenseC. what we can buy and sell in publicD. services enjoyed by all people42. The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that .A. there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB. all the people should be responsible for national defenseC. some public goods are more important than othersD. a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society43. The person who does not pay for a public good .A. enjoys its benefit all the sameB. cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC. fails to keep its benefit from being usedD. keeps himself from using its benefit44. In the third paragraph the author explains .A. what we can do not make use of the market systemB. why some people refuse to pay for public goodsC. how weak the market system is in producing public goodsD. what role the market system plays in producing public goods45. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to .A. get extra money to support public goodsB. reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC. ensure the continuous supply of public goodsD. remind people of their dutyTask 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements, numbered 46 through 50. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easierand quicker than before, but we can’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.46. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is .A. the limited energy resourcesB. the increase of populationC. the development of technologyD. the more serious air pollution47. From the passage, we can know that .A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the governmentB. every single person’s action has some effect on environment protectionC. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problemsD. taking measures now can soon improve the environment48. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to .A. advise people to take actions to protect the environmentB. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environmentC. show himself to be an active environment protectorD. point out the bad effects of technologies on protecting environment49. The author believes that carpooling .A. can save energy resources and reduce air pollutionB. can save people money and timeC. can give help to those without carsD. can promote friendship among drivers50. The passage is mainly about .A. population controlB. air pollutionC. energy resources savingD. environment protectionTask 4Directions: In this task, there is a letter with 5 questions ( 51 through 55 ). Read the letter carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Dear Manager,After a serious consideration, I have made a definite decision to resign from the department, effective on December 31.

I feel that greater opportunities would be available to me to cope with these problems in some other companies.My three years working with you and my colleagues have been very pleasant and have provided a great challenge.

You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.“But I just paid $ 1.69 for this bottle of wine last week. How come the price is now $ 2.25? What's going on？”There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics.The first factor is that people drinking more wine than ever before. This demand for？？ more wine has increased overall (总体) wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year.The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄). But in at least three wine producing areas of the world—France, Germany, and California—new vineyards (葡萄园) will not be available in the near future. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain and Australia, but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines.The third factor is that costs of wine production are increasing. The men who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensiveWhen the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the price of labor and machinery, rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine.36. From the first paragraph, we know that the speaker is ________. A. asking about the price B. worrying about the priceC. bargaining over the priceD. complaining about the price37. The three factors mentioned in the passage cause ________.

In order to open an account, you would have to offer proof of your identity (身份). A passport is one of the best kinds of identification to have, but other kinds are accepted, one of the most common being a deriver's license.You would need to have a permanent (固定的) address in the city, and you would also be asked to supply the name of a permanent resident who is willing to recommend you. For this purpose you could use the name of your landlord or landlady, for example, or the name of the foreign student advisor at the university. And last but not least, you would need to bring some cash with you in order to open your account. Many banks require a minimum cash deposit of $50.41.

Your first job, as well as each of those that follow, is most certain to involve some writing and some employers look upon an application letter as an excellent indicator(标志) of an applicant's(应聘者) writing and communication skills.The purpose of your application letter, which should go together withyour resume, is to get you an in－person interview with employer. If theletter is a good one, it most likely will achieve its objective.The general plan of an application letter closely matches that of a sales letter.

For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away form the starter, you can see the smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your eyes.This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 20 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “ The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shinning four years ago but their light has only just reached the earth.”36. The speed of sound is ____ that of light.A. the same asB. much slower thanC. about a million times slower thanD. no more faster than37.

Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. In short, no water, no life. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world.China is one of the countries in the world who is badly short of water. Its water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem has become even worse. As industry has developed, large quantities of water have been or are being consumed or polluted. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. The most serious problem China is facing is water pollution. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the seas or oceans. When dry weather comes, the water problem will go from bad to worse.In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from being polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Man should reasonably explore water and make good use of it. Otherwise man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life. To protect our environment is to protect ourselves.41. What is the main idea of the passage?A. China is one of countries in great need of water.B. How to treasure waterC. Water is importantD. Why is water polluted42. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone doubts the importance of water.B. While agriculture has developed, large quantities of water have been polluted.C. All resources in the world are inexhaustible.D. To protect our environment is to protect human beings.43.

The water problem in big cities has become even worse in China in recent years.B. The water problem will go from bad to worse in dry weather.C. Man should bear right attitude to water.D. Water will be exhausted in 30 years.Task 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements or questions, numbered 46 through 50. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting-room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering(忽隐忽现) pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives.There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programmers is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt (使变坏) or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determine its value to society.46. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?A. Viewers can enjoy plays, films, operas and shows of every kind.B. Viewers can enjoy political discussions.C. Viewers can see the latest exciting soccer match.D. Viewers can play games.47.
