Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageTo understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,” they will say. “My point is …”“What is the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’ thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend , “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit,” a Japanese might say , “Maybe this other coat would look eve n better than the one you have on .”Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义).The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved ,and lest not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.36. According to the passage, American expect speakers and writers to ______A. be clear about their man ideasB. give as much information as possibleC. express their personal viewsD. be honest about their true feelings37. Which of the following people will tell a story to express what they have in mind?A. AmericansB. AfricansC. JapaneseD. Chinese38. In the sentence “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”, the word “outfit” most probably means_____.A. officeB. timeC. speechD. clothes39. According to the passage, the Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.A. indirectB. straightforwardC. poorly-dressedD. curious40. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to____A. lean the language wellB. change their way of thinkingC. be careful about their choice of wordsD. explain their reasons clearlyPassage 2Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMany young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is lonely, private and poor-paying. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Army to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a true writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell story that I barely made enough to eat .But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage means to ______A. warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chance for a writer to become successful are small.43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He wasn’t able to have a rest fo r a whole year.C. He found his dream would never come true.D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.44. When the author began writing, he only had_____.A. a second-hand typewriter.B. a friend who helped him find a room to liveC. a cold room without a bathroomD. empty expectations of his future45. “shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to_____.A. the piece of land one often dreams aboutB. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedC. the bright future that one is looking forward toD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 3Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. “That young woman who just waited onme ,”he said ,pointing to an employee of the fas t food restaurant where we eating , “had to call someone over to help her count out the change .the cash register(出纳机) showed her I need 99 nets ,but she couldn’t figure out how to count out the coins .”I understood Mike’s concern .What we have done in thi s country ,although unintentionally ,is to create several generations of individuals most of most of whom have no idea how to reason, how to do simple math ,how to do research ,or finally how to be creative .The reason for this is our overuse of information technology :video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computer. information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time for us to take a hand look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can’t tell time if the clock has hands .they can use calculators but cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active imaginative play .Although most of them are technically literate ,they choose not to read .They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book .It is not enough to recognize the problem. What we need is solution .the one I offer is simple to suggest , but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children .If wedon’t, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity .Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let’s to perform computer operations, but to figure and to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how process leads to results, they must also stretch their imagination.46. What seems to be the problem of the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to count coins.B. She is unable to solve simple math problem.C. She has no small change for the customers.D. She does not know how to operate cash registers47. What is the author’s and his friend Mike’s concern?A. The educational system is now creating people who can’t think for themselves.B. People now rarely do things on their own.C. Computers feed us too much information nowadays.D. The restaurant does not provide good service.48. For children to have imaginative minds, they must_____.A. be born with talentsB. be taught to read the right booksC .be dragged away from machinesD. have a large vocabulary49. What is the most probable meaning of “unplug o ur children” in the last paragraph?A. Give them freedom of enjoying themselves.B. Teach themC. Get them off TV and computer games.D. Turn off all the power in the schools.50. The conclusion of the article is that the authorbelieves_____A. electronics should have no place in classroomsB. information technology helps us to do things we do not understandC. all books benefit children more than anything elseD. information technology is new being overusedPassage4Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地)，as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a c hair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释)，too. Anther example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; itcan be something else entirely. The researches look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.51. The main idea of this article is that________A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language52. What do researchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication via body movement.53. The word“intimate” in paragraph two probably means______.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important54. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you_____.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time55. The sentence “the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means______.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gestureV.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (40 points)2009年河南专升本真题第一篇A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. 【41】But he always regretted they had to have an end. 【42】So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to 【43】prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day, a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The Prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth your fair daughter,” the young man replied poetically (得体地). He then began this well-known story:【44】“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and fire-proof, the King felt happy. 【45】But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and...”“Stop,” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on forever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly,” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because .A. he had too much wealthB. there was a terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for .A. a great sum of moneyB. the Prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison if he failed to tell a story without an end .A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44. In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build .A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was .A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locust2009年河南专升本真题第二篇Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to 【49】buy products or to ask their parents for them.【47】Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. 【48】Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package h as “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. 【50】The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.给据每段的第一句话，论述的对象是package, 所以选项的陈述对象一定是package47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means .A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similarproduct in a plain container.D. “Economy Size” doesn’t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money.49. What does the word “ them ” ( Li ne 5, Para. 1 ) refer to?A. Small gifts.B. Pictures.C. Games.D. Products.考察代词的指代关系从them 向前找被指代的内容50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?Last paragraph 定位文章中的对应信息的位置，根据imply确定其为推理判断题，一定要结合文章的中心A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.2009年河南专升本真题第三篇【51】For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. 【52】Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property ofEnglish-speaking people. 【53】Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.”Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. 【55】There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people.A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows .A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D.

B2009年河南专升本真题第四篇Most cities and/or states in the U.S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place to place, from one or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for example, is currently 8%, 【57】so if you buy a pair of ＄40 shoes you will actually have to pay ＄43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. 【58】Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don’t, the service person can’t earn a living. 【60】Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is .根据每段的首句A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison_________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the Kingasked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others.

According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558.

He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn.A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …” “Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________. （分数：2.00）A.he had too much wealthB.there was terrible famineC.all stories have ends √D.there was no story-teller解析：42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.（分数：2.00）A.a great sumB.the prince’s beautiful daughter√C.showing his braveryD.Both A and C解析：43.The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end. （分数：2.00）A.forever √B.for some timeC.for a whileD.for a year解析：44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.（分数：2.00）A.a huge storehouseB.a large farm √C.a beautiful palaceD.a waterproof kitchen解析：45.The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.（分数：2.00）A.a loafB.a small hole √C.a grain of cornD.a locust解析：46.Passage Two Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comesin a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, orsmall gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising. √C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.解析：47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________. （分数：2.00）A.a buyer will get something free of charge √B.a buyer will get something uselessC.a buyer will get something usefulD.nothing is worth buying解析：48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B.Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C.A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. √D.“Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money解析：49.What does the word “ them ” ( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.（分数：2.00）A.Small giftsB.PicturesC.GamesD.Products √解析：50.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Package is just an advertisement.B.Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.√C.The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D.Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.解析：51.Passage Three For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have bec ome part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known pro verbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.English people_________. （分数：2.00）A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist√D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist解析：52.Every Englishman knows_________.（分数：2.00）A.more or less about Shakespeare √B.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of greatest English writer解析：53.Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use. √D.All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.解析：54. “HAMLET” is _________.（分数：2.00）A.a play written by Shakespeare √B.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about解析：55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________. （分数：2.00）A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language √C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days解析：56.Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.The main idea of this passage is _________. （分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tipping √D.sales taxes and people解析：57.According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4 √C.$5D.$5.5解析：58. Usually, cab drivers _________.（分数：2.00）A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employer √D.get prize from the employer解析：59.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. √B.The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.解析：ually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end in the U. S.D.vary from place to place in the U.

河南省历年专升本公共英语考试真题

河南省历年专升本公共英语考试真题全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Once upon a time, there was a province called Henan, and it was a place where lots of students lived. These students were really smart and loved to learn new things, especially when it came to a language called English. You see, English is a language spoken by people all around the world, and it's really important to know it if you want to communicate with people from different countries.Every year, the students in Henan had to take a big test called the "Tertiary Education Entrance English Test." This test was super important because it helped decide if they could go to a really good university or not. The test was all about how well they could read, write, listen, and speak in English.Now, I know what you're thinking, "Wow, that sounds really hard!" And you're right, it was really hard! But the students in Henan were so dedicated and worked really, really hard to prepare for this test.Some students would practice their English by reading books and watching movies in English. Others would join special classes where they could practice speaking and listening to native English speakers. And some students even had special tutors who would help them with their grammar and vocabulary.But the coolest part was that the test was different every year! The questions and passages were always new, so the students had to be really prepared for anything. One year, the test might have a lot of questions about science and technology, while the next year it could be all about history and culture.The test was usually held in a big room with hundreds of students taking it at the same time. Can you imagine how quiet it must have been in there? It was probably so quiet that you could hear a pencil drop!When the test was over, the students would have to wait for weeks and weeks to get their scores back. And let me tell you, those weeks felt like forever! The students would be so nervous and excited to see how they did.If a student did really well on the test, they would get to go to a really good university and study whatever they wanted. Some of them even got to go to universities in other countries, which is super cool!But even if a student didn't do as well as they had hoped, it wasn't the end of the world. They could always try again next year or find another way to achieve their dreams.Overall, the Tertiary Education Entrance English Test was a big deal in Henan Province. It was a chance for students to show off their English skills and prove that they were ready for the next big adventure in their lives. And even though it was really hard, the students never gave up because they knew that with hard work and determination, anything was possible!篇2English Tests for College in Hunan? No Biggie!Hi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader here in Zhengzhou, the capital of Hunan Province. You might be wondering why a kid like me is talking about college entrance exams. Well, let me tell you - us Hunanese kids start prepping for the big tests pretty early!Every year, students who have completed their 3-year junior college programs take an super important exam called the "Zhuanshengben" or Undergraduate Entrance Exam. It's their chance to get into a 4-year university program. And one of the biggest sections? You guessed it - English!Now English can seem really hard, with all those weird spellings and tongue-twisters. But you know what my mom always says? "Practice makes perfect!" The Zhuanshengben English test has been around for ages, so there are tons of past papers to look at. Let me walk you through what it's like!The Reading SectionThis part has a few different types of passages - conversations, articles, even ads and signs! You have to read each one carefully and answer comprehension questions. From what I've seen in past tests, the topics can be anything from science and technology to culture and economics.There are also words and phrases pulled right from the passages that you need to explain the meaning of. My favorite kind are the creative idioms and slang expressions. Like if the passage mentions "raining cats and dogs", you better know that means raining really hard!The Writing SectionHere's where things get exciting! The writing prompts cover all sorts of interesting situations. One year, test takers had to write a letter to the editor about environmental protection. Another time, they analyzed the traits of a great leader.The keys for writing a top-notch essay are having a clear point of view, lots of supporting details, and greatgrammar/vocabulary. It's kinda like telling an epic story, but with serious real-world topics. No problem for a creative kid like me!The Listening SectionOkay, now we're getting into my personal strength - the listening part! You put on headphones and listen to conversations, lectures, news reports and more. The tasks include filling in blanks, answering questions, and even labeling pictures or maps.The tricky part is that the recordings only play once. That means you have to be a super active listener - write down key points, identify context clues, all that good stuff. I've been practicing by tuning into English podcasts during my bus rides to school!The Translation SectionLast but not least, translation! This has two parts - English to Chinese, and Chinese to English. You have to accurately translate sentences or short paragraphs in both directions.Now this is where knowing vocabulary and grammar rules inside-out becomes crucial. One small mistake and the wholemeaning could change. It's like a code you have to carefully crack! Luckily my parents have been drilling me on common translation stumbling blocks since I was tiny.So there you have it - the not-so-scary Zhuanshengben English test! With enough practice and the right strategies, it's totally manageable. Who knows, maybe you'll see my name at the top of the score list someday. An English master before middle school? Why not!I know this was a super long overview, but I got carried away reliving all my prep work. English has become like a fun puzzle to constantly solve. Let me know if you need any other insider tips for conquering the Zhuanshengben. After all, us Hunanese look out for each other! Time for me to sign off and squeeze in some reading practice before dinner. Study hard, future test champions!篇3My English Exam AdventureHi everyone! Today, I want to tell you about my exciting adventure with the Henan Province Public English Exam for College Transfer. It was a big test for me, but I learned a lot and had so much fun!The exam was held in a big hall with lots of students from different schools. We were all nervous, but the atmosphere was friendly and encouraging. The exam had different sections to test our listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Let me share some of the questions with you!In the listening section, we listened to conversations and answered questions. One question was about a trip to the zoo. We had to listen carefully and choose the correct animal that the people saw. It was tricky, but I remembered my animal names and got it right!The speaking section was my favorite. We had to talk about our hobbies and dreams. I love drawing, so I talked about how I want to be an artist when I grow up. The examiner asked me more questions, and I tried my best to answer confidently. It was like having a conversation with a friend.Next, the reading section challenged us with comprehension questions. We read short stories and answered questions to show our understanding. One story was about a girl who found a magic book. We had to answer where she found it and what happened next. I was so excited when I got the answers right!Finally, the writing section tested our creativity and grammar skills. We had to write a story about our summer vacation. Iwrote about a trip to the beach with my family. I described the blue ocean, building sandcastles, and eating delicious ice cream.I even used some new words I learned in English class!After the exam, we were all relieved and proud of ourselves. It was a challenging test, but we did our best. We made new friends and shared our experiences. I even exchanged contact information with some of them.A few weeks later, the results were announced. I was so happy to see that I passed the exam and earned a good score. It was a great achievement for me. I shared the good news with my family, and we celebrated with ice cream!Taking the Henan Province Public English Exam for College Transfer was an amazing experience. It helped me improve my English skills and gave me confidence. I learned that hard work and determination can lead to success. I am excited to continue my English learning journey and take on new challenges in the future.Remember, my friends, never be afraid to take on new adventures. Believe in yourself and always do your best. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Good luck on your own English exams and have fun while learning!I hope you enjoyed reading about my English exam adventure. Remember, learning can be fun and exciting! Keep practicing and never give up. You can do it!篇4The Big Test for Grown-Up StudentsEvery year, there is a very important test for the big kids who want to go from vocational school to university. It's called the Henan Annual Examination for Upgrading from Vocational School to University. That's a really long name, so I'll just call it the Big Test. The Big Test has lots of subjects like math, Chinese, and English. English is a funny language with weird squiggles for letters. I'm just learning English in school, but the grown-up students have to know it really well for the Big Test.The English part of the Big Test is super hard, even for the smartest grown-ups. It has reading, writing, listening, and speaking sections. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt! In the reading section, they have to read super long passages and answer questions about the details. The passages are about boooooring topics like economics, history, and science. No fun fiction stories or anything a kid would want to read. Just dry, dense texts filled with big vocabulary words I've never heard of.For the writing section, they have to write essays and articles using proper grammar, clear arguments, and lots of evidence. No silly creative stories allowed! When I write, I can make up whatever I want. But on the Big Test, they get point off for making things up instead of sticking to the facts. My teacher says I have a "wonderful imagination," but that won't help on this test at all.Then there's the listening section where they play audio recordings and the grown-ups have to answer comprehension questions. Can you imagine how boring it would be to just sit and listen to some professor drone on and on about zoology or ancient civilizations? At least in my classes we get to look at picture books while the teacher reads the stories out loud. But not on the Big Test - no pictures at all, just spoken words they have to concentrate on with no fun visuals.Finally, the speaking section is probably the scariest of all. They have to have whole conversations in perfect English, expressing their thoughts and opinions clearly. If I tried that now, I'd just end up babbling nonsense like "the rabbit ate the apple purple forever!" But for this test, they get marked down for not being coherent, organized, and grammatically accurate. No childish rambling allowed whatsoever!Just thinking about having to take such a massive, difficult test makes me want to take a nap. I'm proud of all the grown-up students in Henan who choose to put themselves through this every year in hopes of getting into a good university. I'll be happy sticking to my simple reading, writing, and arithmetic for now. Give me picture books, creative writing time, and counting games any day over that dreadful Big Test!If I ever have to take an exam like that, I'll probably cry. Or maybe wet my pants from being so nervous. Okay, that's a little too babyish, even for a kid like me. But you get the idea - the English part of Henan's big university entrance exam is no joke! I've got mad respect for any adult who can pass that beast of a test. They must be super dedicatived to learning and hugely smart to conquer such a monstrously difficult English exam. Let's hear it for those hardworking men and women stepping up to the challenge year after year! You folks are the real heroes if you ask me.篇5My Big English Test AdventureHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I live in Henan Province with my mom, dad, and little sister Huanhuan.Today I want to tell you all about the big English test I had to take last year to try and get my bachelor's degree throughself-study. It was quite an adventure!You might be wondering - why does a 4th grader need a bachelor's degree? Well, the thing is, I'm really, really good at English. I've been studying it since I was just a tiny kid and I can read, write, and speak it almost as well as my native Chinese. My parents and teachers always told me I was a English prodigy!When I was 9 years old, my parents heard about this special program in Henan where kids like me who are super good at English can take a really hard test. If we pass, we get to get a bachelor's degree in English just like kids who go to university for four years! My parents thought it would be a great opportunity for me.At first I was a little nervous about taking such a big test. But my English teachers helped me prepare by going over old test materials from previous years. There were readings, writings, listening sections - all kinds of stuff to get ready for. I worked really hard studying.Finally the day of the test came. We had to go to the testing center in the capital city of Zhengzhou. There were students of all ages there, from little kids like me to teenagers and adults. Thetest took basically all day - it was marathon! But I just kept thinking about how I was working towards my dream of getting that degree.The reading section had all these dense academic passages to analyze and answer questions on. Thank goodness I've been reading English novels since I was 6 or I would have been lost! The writing part had us write essays on topics like environmental protection and modern technology. I tried my best to craft detailed, well-organized pieces.Listening was one of the trickier sections for me. We had to watch videos and lectures then answer comprehension questions. There were all these different accents to follow - American, British, Australian. My little 9-year-old ears weren't quite used to that yet! By the time we got to the speaking section at the end, my brain was fried from concentrating so hard all day.A few weeks later, the results came out online. I was sooo nervous checking them. I had to get my dad to log into the system for me since I'm too little to have those kind of accounts myself. And then...I saw it! I PASSED! I got the scores needed to earn my bachelor's degree in English! My parents were overjoyed and bought me so many presents. Even my teachers at school threw me a little party to celebrate.Getting that degree was a huge accomplishment for a kid like me. I worked harder than I ever had in my life preparing for that test. While most kids my age were just focused on their times tables and spelling bees, I was taking on a grueling university-level exam. It was an incredible challenge, but I pushed through and made it happen.Even though I'm still just in elementary school, having that degree opens up so many opportunities for me. My parents say I can get jobs as an English translator or teacher one day. Or maybe I'll want to work for an international company travelling all around the world. I'm also thinking of going abroad to an English-speaking country for university when I'm older. The possibilities are endless!So there you have it - the story of how I, an ordinary10-year-old kid from Henan, managed to earn myself a bachelor's degree through hard work and determination. Maybe if you're a young English prodigy like me, you'll get the chance to take this crazy test too one day. Just believe in yourself and get ready for an amazing adventure! Let me know if you have any other questions about my experience. Study hard and happy testing!篇6My Experience with the Henan Zhuan Sheng Ben English ExamsHi everyone! My name is Xiao Ming and I'm a 10-year-old student from Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province. Today I want to tell you all about the English tests I had to take as part of the "Zhuan Sheng Ben" program. Zhuan Sheng Ben means going from a junior college to a 4-year university program. It's a really important exam that many students take every year.The English part of the exam has been super hard for me. English is my least favorite subject in school. I much prefer math and science because the answers are so clear. With English, there are so many tricky words and grammar rules to remember. It makes my head spin!Last year, I had to take my first Zhuan Sheng Ben English exam. I was really nervous leading up to the test day. My teacher could see how stressed I was, so she gave our class a pep talk. She said the English section wouldn't be as bad as we thought if we just studied hard. I did my best to follow her advice and reviewed all my vocabulary words and read lots of sample passages. Even so, I was still pretty worried.When I got the test paper and looked at the first page, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. The reading comprehension passage was about a really confusing science topic I didn't understand at all. There were so many big vocabulary words that I struggled to get the main idea. I definitely didn't feel very "comprehensive" about that one!Next up were the cloze exercises where you have to fill in the blanks with the right words. I've always found these pretty tricky because you need to analyze the context and tone to pick the correct answer. On this test, one of the passages was about daily life and routines which is usually an easier topic for me. But the other was about economics and trade which is one of my worst subjects after English. I definitely struggled with that set of questions.After the written section, we moved on to the listening part. I was relieved to put the reading and writing behind me, but also dreading what was to come. The listening questions are my absolute worst nightmare! It's so hard for me to catch all the details when the recordings are playing at full speed. My English listening ability is still quite poor.In the first listening passage, a professor was lecturing about the history of early human civilizations. All the dates, names, andplaces just went straight over my head as I desperately tried to write notes. The questions at the end asked very specific details that I totally missed while listening.The second passage was a dialogue between two students talking about their plans for summer vacation. I actually did a bit better on that one because the language was more conversational. But I still missed some of the finer points they were discussing.Overall, I didn't feel great when I left the exam room. My hand was cramped from all the writing, my brain was fried from trying so hard, and I was mentally drained. I wished I had prepared even more, but I also knew I had really given it my all.A few weeks later, I nervously awaited my score report from the provincial education ministry. When I finally opened the envelope, I was overjoyed to see that I had passed the English section! My score wasn't extremely high, but it was enough to allow me to continue my studies at a regular university. I celebrated with my family over a big dinner of my favorite dishes.This year, I'm taking the Zhuan Sheng Ben English exam again to try and improve my score. I've been studying really hard and working on all the areas that gave me trouble before. Mylistening skills are slowly getting better from doing more exercises. I'm also expanding my vocabulary by reading more English books and watching shows with subtitles.Just a few days ago, I took a practice test put out by the Henan education ministry using real questions from previous years. This helped me get a better feel for the actual exam format and content. For the reading comprehension, I faced a passage about environmental protection policies which was pretty dense. But I've learned techniques like skimming for key details and looking for vocabulary cues.The cloze section wasn't too bad this time around. One of the passages was about the advantages and disadvantages of economic globalization. Since I've been exposed to more topics like that this year, I was able to use context to make educated guesses at many of the missing words.In the listening section, the first passage had a student interviewing his history professor about ancient Chinese dynasties. All those historical names and events are still really hard for me to keep track of when listening at full speed. But I tried squinting my eyes and concentrating extra hard this time!The second listening dialogue was actually a fun and casual conversation between friends。

Each passage is followed by somequestions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices markedA, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he becameof them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half hiswealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody cameto the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome youngman came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fairdaughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his mento build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, madewater-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn.Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I mus t go on until I tellyou what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products soldin reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thingfor any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words andpictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.47. The phras e “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probablymeans _________.A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a packagethan the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in aplain container.D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most productfor the least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full ofwell-known proverbs and quotations.”Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resourcesof the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed sinceShakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and g reatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. W e use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning tospeak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words theyuse.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used Englishbecause _________.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days Passage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy.You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip andhow much.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is _________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, youpay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they arenot tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank thereare four choices marked A, B,C and D.
