II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four passages.Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1What would you do with$559m?This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie,an84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small,un-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history.If she hopes her new-found fortune will yield lasting feelings or fulfillment.She could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive.Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes.Yet satisfaction with these maternal purchases wears off fairly quickly.What was Once exciting and new becomes old hat;regret creeps in,It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms Dun and Mr.Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.These purchases often become more valuable with time–as stones or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most”happiness bang for your buck.”It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work,spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television(something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing,and is hardly jollier for it).Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly.This is apparently the reason McDonald’s restricts the availability of its popular McRib-a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of Happy Money are clearly a privileged lot,anxious about fulfilment,not hunger.Money may not quite buy happiness,but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones.Yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world.and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’policy ideas,which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers,But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.21.According to Dumn and Norton,which of the following is the most rewarding purchase?[A]A big house[B]A special tour[C]A stylish car[D]A rich meal22.The author’s attitude toward Americans’watching TV is[A]critical[B]supportive[C]sympathetic[D]ambiguous23.Macrib is mentioned in paragraph3to show that[A]consumers are sometimes irrational[B]popularity usually comes after quality[C]marketing tricks are after effective[D]rarity generally increases pleasure24.According to the last paragraph,Happy Money[A]has left much room for readers’criticism[B]may prove to be a worthwhile purchase[C]has predicted a wider income gap in the us[D]may give its readers a sense of achievement25.This text mainly discusses how to[A]balance feeling good and spending money[B]spend large sums of money won in lotteries[C]obtain lasting satisfaction from money spent[D]become more reasonable in spending on luxuriesText2An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that,actually,you think you’re more beautiful than you are.We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to research into what the call the "above average effect",or"illusory superiority",and shown that,for example,70%of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership,93%in driving and85%at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities.We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations.We become defensive when criticized,and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem,we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff.Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying intoself-enhancement and attractiveness.Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others,he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive.Visual recognition,reads the study, is"an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation".If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image-which must did-they genuinely believed it was really how they looked.Epley found no significant gender difference in responses.Nor was there any evidence that,those who self-enhance the must(that is,the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real)were doing so to make up for profound insecurities.In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. "I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion",says Epley. "It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’.If you are depressed,you won’t be self-enhancing.Knowing the results of Epley’s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level,they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves,Facebook therefore,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos,the cream of their wit,style,beauty,intellect and lifestyle it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says Catalina Toma of Wiscon—Madison university,"but they portray an idealized version of themselves.26.According to the first paragraph,social psychologist have found that______.[A]our self-ratings are unrealistically high[B]illusory superiority is baseless effect[C]our need for leadership is unnatural[D]self-enhancing strategies are ineffective27.Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______[A]rapid watching[B]conscious choice[C]intuitive response[D]automatic self-defense28.Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______[A]underestimate their insecurities[B]believe in their attractiveness[C]cover up their depressions[D]oversimplify their illusions29.The word"Viscerally"(Line2,para.5)is closest in meaning to_____.[A]instinctively[B]occasionally[C]particularly[D]aggressively30.It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can_____.[A]present their dishonest profiles[B]define their traditional life styles[C]share their intellectual pursuits[D]withhold their unflattering sidesText3The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution,but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and fragile recoveries.And yet,it would be a mistake to think we are right now simply experiencing the painful side of a boom and bust cycle.Certain jobs have gone away for good,outmoded by machines.Since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs,this phenomenon will continue to restructureour economy in ways we can't immediately foresee.When there is exponential improvement in the price and performance of technology,jobs that were once thought to be immune from automation suddenly become threatened.This argument has attracted a lot of attention,via the success of the book Race Against the Machine,by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee,who both hail from MIT's Center for Digital Business.This is a powerful argument,and a scary one.And yet,John Hagel,author of The Power of Pull and other books,says Brynjolfsson and McAfee miss the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S.that tend to be"tightly scripted"and"highly standardized"ones that leave no room for"individual initiative or creativity."In short,these are the types of jobs that machines can perform much better at than human beings.That is how we have put a giant target sign on the backs of American workers,Hagel says.It's time to reinvent the formula for how work is conducted,since we are still relying on a very 20th century notion of work,Hagel says.In our rapidly changing economy,we more than ever need people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination"to respond to unexpected events."That's not something machines are good at.They are designed to perform very predictable activities.As Hagel notes,Brynjolfsson and McAfee indeed touched on this point in their book.We need to reframe race against the machine as race with the machine.In other words,we need to look at the ways in which machines can augment human labor rather than replace it.So then the problem is not really about technology,but rather,"how do we innovate our institutions and our work practices?"31.According to the first paragraph,economic downturns would_____.[A]ease the competition of man vs.machine[B]highlight machines’threat to human jobs[C]provoke a painful technological revolution[D]outmode our current economic structure32.The authors of Race Against the Machine argue that_____.[A]technology is diminishing man’s job opportunities[B]automation is accelerating technological development[C]certain jobs will remain intact after automation[D]man will finally win the race against machine33.Hagel argues that jobs in the U.S.are often_____.[A]performed by innovative minds[B]scripted with an individual style[C]standardized without a clear target[D]designed against human creativity34.According to the last paragraph,Brynjolfsson and McAfee discussed_____.[A]the predictability of machine behavior in practice[B]the formula for how work is conducted efficiently[C]the ways machines replace human labor in modern times[D]the necessity of human involvement in the workplace35.Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]How to Innovate Our Work Practices[B]Machines will Replace Human Labor[C]Can We Win the Race Against Machines[D]Economic Downturns Stimulate InnovationsText4When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to jostle for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure projects,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.This government does not want to see a return to large-scale provision of council housing,so it is naturally wary of measures that will lead us down that route.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.The cap,introduced in 2012as part of the Housing Revenue Account reform,has been a major issue for the sector. Evidence shows that60,000extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.Finally,they should look at the way in which public sector land is released.Currently up-front payments are required,putting a financial burden on the housing provider.A more positive stimulus would be to encourage a system where the land is made available and maintained as a long-term equity stake in the project.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing£4.5bn programme of grants to fund newaffordable housing,set to expire in2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if it returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to the era of large-scale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.This means that affordable housing specialists like Wates Living Space have to create a whole new way of working in partnership with registered providers.We have to be prepared to take on more of the risk during the development phase,driving down the cost to deliver high-quality affordable housing and,most importantly,developing alternative funding models to help achieve this.While the government's commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.The comprehensive spending review provides the opportunity to start moving us in the right direction–stimulating investment in new supply and quickly delivering tangible benefits to local economies.It also helps create the space to develop a long-term sustainable strategy for.36.The author believes that the housing sector______.[A]has attracted much attention[B]has lost its real value in economy[C]shoulders too much responsibility[D]involves certain political factors37.It can be learned that affordable housing has_____.[A]suffered government biases[B]increased its home supply[C]offered spending opportunities[D]disappointed the government38.According to Paragraph5,George Osborne may_____.[A]prepare to reduce housing stock debt[B]release a lifted GDP growth forecast[C]allow greater government debt for housing[D]stop local authorities from building homes39.It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would_____.[A]lower the costs of registered providers[B]relieve the minister of responsibilities[C]contribute to funding new developments[D]lessen the impact of government interference40.The author believes that after2015,the government may_____.[A]implement more policies to support housing[B]stop generous funding to the housing sector[C]renew the affordable housing grants programme[D]review the need for large-scale public grantsPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the left column.There are two extra choices in the left column.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(10points)Emerging in the late Sixties and reaching a peak in the Seventies,Land Art was one of a range of new forms,including Body Art,Performance Art,Action Art and Installation Art,which pushed art beyond the traditional confines of the studio and gallery.Rather than portraying landscape,land artists used the physical substance of eland itself as their medium.The British land artist,typified by Richard Long’s piece,was not only more domestically scaled, but a lot quirkier than its American counterpart.Indeed,while you might assume that an exhibition of Land Art would consist only of records of works rather than the works themselves,Long’s photograph of his work is the work.Since his“action”is in the past the photograph is its sole embodiment.That might seem rather an obscure point,but it sets the tone for an exhibition that contains a lot of black-and-white photographs and relatively few natural objects.Long is Britain’s best-known Land Artist and his Stone Circle,a perfect ring of purplish rocks from Portishead beach laid out on the gallery floor,represents the elegant,rarefied side of the form. The Boyle Family,on the other hand,stand for its dirty,urban prising artists Mark Boyle and Joan Hills and their children,they recreated random sections of the British landscape on gallery walls.Their Olaf Street Study,a square of brick-strewn waste ground,is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterises most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.Parks feature,particularly in the earlier works,such as John Hilliard’s very funny.Across the Park,in which a long-haired stroller is variously smiled at by a pretty girl and unwittingly assaulted in a sequence of images that turn out to be different parts of the same photograph.Generally however British land artists preferred to get away from towns,gravitating towards landscapes that are traditionally considered beautiful such as the Lake District or the Wiltshire Downs.While it probably wasn’t apparent at the time,much of this work is permeated by a spirit of romantic escapism that the likes of Wordsworth would have readily understood.Derek Jarman’s yellow-tinted film Towards Avebury,a collection of long,mostly still shots of the Wiltshire landscape,evokes a tradition of English landscape painting stretching from Samuel Palmer toPaul Nash.In the case of Hamish Fulton,you can’t help feeling that the Scottish artist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay.A typical work,such as Seven Days,consists of a single beautiful black-and-white photograph taken on an epic walk,with the mileage and number of days taken listed beneath.British Land Art as shown in this well selected,but relatively modestly scaled exhibitionwasn’t about imposing on the landscape,more a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art created passing through.It had its origins in the great outdoors,but the results were as gallery-bound as the paintings of Turner and Constable.[A]originates from a long walk that the artist took.41.Stone Cirele [B]illustrates a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art.42.Olaf Street Study [C]reminds people of the English landscape painting tradition.43.Across the Park[D]represents the elegance of the British land art.44.TowardsAvebury[E]depicts the ordinary side of the British land art.45.Seven Days[F]embodies a romantic escape into the Scottish outdoors.[G]contains images from different parts of the samephotograph.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15points)Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy,with a glass that’s perpetually half full.But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend.“Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,”says Tal Ben-Shahar,a Harvard professor.According to Ben-Shahar,realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen,but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercises.When he feels down-say,after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human.He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner;some will be less effective than others.Next is reconstruction.He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t.Finally,there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life,one lecture really doesn’t matter.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John,a local student.Write him an email to1)tell him about your living habits,and2)ask for advice about living there.You should write about100words on ANSWER SHEET2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the e“Zhang Wei”instead.Do not write your address.(10points)Part B48.Directions:In this section,you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart1)interpret the chart,and2)give your comments.You should write at least150words.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)2014考研英语二真题答案(华*章MBA提*供)1A2B3C4B5D6C7A8A9D10D11A12B13C14B15B16D17C18D19C20A21.答案解析：B本题为细节题定位：It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms Dunn and Mr Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.正确选项正是原文的事例，只是用近义词tour 替换了trips,而其他选项正是原文所否定的内容。

2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）
2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）Passage 1In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success untilthey met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today McDonald's is really a household name.

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

2014MBA在职联考英语模拟试题（一）【3】B. People will stop making robots.C. There will be laws against using robots.D. Robots will benefit nobody.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage:Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania' s Psychological Laberatory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to Find out from facialexpressions.Professor Dallas E. Buzby confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons , and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as"Fleased".And a typical reaction of a student confronted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either"bewildered" , "quizzical" , or simply"amazed" . Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at finding out anger from facial expressions than men are. Paradoxically , they found that psychological training does not improve one's ability to judge a man' s emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it . For in the university tests ,the more courses the student had taken in psychology , the poorer judgment score he turned in .29. The information in this passage centers around_____.A. the relation between anger and other emotionsB. the differences between men and women with respect to emotionC. the influence of psychology on human emotionsD. the discovery of anger from facial expressions30 . When tested,students with psychological training_________.A. marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctlyB. did better than the average student in the groupC. seemed less able to judge correctly than the average studentD. performed in a manner not specified in the passage31 . To achieve the greatest success in finding out anger ftoiii facial expressions ,it would be best to__.A. use adults rather than students as judgesB. ask women who do not study psycholsy to judge itC. ask men rather than women to judge itD. be satisfied with a two percent success, if such a perceotage is guaranteed32. The last two sentences in the second paragraph show that----.A. such training has not resulted in better scoresB. we have really achieved the anticipated resultsC. the judgment is similar to what we have expectedD. we can expect such training to have the effect statedQuestions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage:Wouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well,you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows , you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just theappear. ance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high - speed computers.This does give meteorologists an advantage , because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.But you have an advantage,too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forecast .What are you seeing when you look at a cloud?" A picture of what moisture is doing in the atmosphere" says meteorologist Peter Leavit . There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it , because it's in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor .Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. That's called condensation , and we see it happen all the time( for example , when humid air from the hower hits the cold glass of a mirror) . When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere.You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can singal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.33 . This passage mainly tells us about how__________.A. to become a meteorologistB. to keep an eye on the weatherC. to be an assistant to a meteorologistD. to change water vapor to liquid water34.Acording to the passage , an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast---.A. with the help of the high - speed computers.B. through a complex process of calculationC. with some simple practice looking up at the skyD.consulting a weather station.35 . Meteorologists make their weather forecast---.A. by collecting data from all over the worldB. by putting this data into powerful , high - speed computersC. by calculating and analyzing this dataD.all above.36 . Your advantage in weather forecasts is that---.A. you have more powerful computers at homeB. your brain works as well as a high speed computerC. you observe the sky and obtain your data directlyD.teorologists give their data to you as soon as they get themQuestions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage:Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The exchanges themselves do no trading,`they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business.Wall Street , although the best known , is not the only home of ex- changes in the United States. There are cotton exchanges in New Or- leans and Chicago `, the Mercantile Exchange , which deals in many farm products , in Chicago `, and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest . Some exchanges , like the Chicago Board of Trade , provide market services for several kinds products.These trading posts where products may bebought or sold are called commodity exchanges .The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges, they help serve the economic life of the country. But when their opera- tions get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market , contributed to a crash a sudden , sharp decline in the value of securities . Many people lost fortunes `, many corporations were bankrupted ,` many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1929 has been attributed to many causes ,among them wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges.Today , however , investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges has been made safer by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operated through the Department of Agriculture `, and in 1934 , the Securities and Exchanges Commission , to protect investors and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges .37. Security and commodity exchanges are meeting places for buyers and sellers of---- .A. stocksB. grainC.securitiesD. all of these38 . Among the reasons for the Crash of 1929 were.A. unwise speculation by many peopleB. dishonest practices by some businessmenC. strict regulations of the Commodity Exchange CommissionD.both A and B.39.Investing insecurities has been made safer by.----A. the Securities and Exchange CommissionB. the Commodity Exchange CommissionC.Chicago Board of TradeD. Chicago Mercantile Exchange40 . Implies but not stated---- :.A. Some exchanges provide market services for several kinds of productsB. The role of the government has been an important factor in curbing dishonest practices on the ExchangesC. Investing in securities is unwiseD. Buying and selling securities is dishonest.。

unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmerica is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand,because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives,they don ’t show their politeness to us if it太奇无锡分校网址 5requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes,we,as hosts,will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants,except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!31.The writer of this passage must be ______.A.an AmericanB.a ChineseC.a professorD.a student32.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.33.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend,we will probably be ______.A.warmly welcomed at the airportB.offered a ride to his homeC.treated hospitably at his homeD.treated to dinner in a restaurant34.The underlined words “generous with our time ”in Paragraph 3probably mean ______.A.strict with timeB.serious with timeC.careful with timeD.willing to spend time35.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A.Friendships between ChineseB.Friendships between AmericansC.Americans’hospitalityD.Americans’and Chinese’s views of friendships Passage TwoThe appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some of the products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offer to dieters （节食者）with the message that there were fewer calories （热量单位，大卡）in every slice.It turned out that the bread was not dietetic （适合于节食的）,but just regular bread.There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin,but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns.Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss太奇无锡分校网址 6is the real reason for fire insurance.The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it?Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers,but it does not force them to buy the product.Consumers still control the final buying decision.36.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by _________.A stressing their high qualityB convincing him of their low priceC maintaining a balance between quality and priceD appealing to his buying motives37.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that ________.A thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB the loaf was cut into regular slicesC the bread was not genuine breadD the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same38.The passage tells us that _______.A sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don ’t needC the buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment39.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _________.A think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB guard against the deceiving nature of advertisementsC be familiar with various advertising strategiesD avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal40.The passage is mainly about ________.A how to make a wise buying decisionB ways to protect the interests of the consumerC the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD the function of advertisements in promoting salesPassage ThreeThere are many ways to find a job.It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board.Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide.Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or,job searchers can look in the newspaper.Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet.For example,people in four hundred太奇无锡分校网址 7and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects,meet people or find a job.Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university.For example,students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job.Of course,looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example,there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?”by Richard Bolles.This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs.Susan ler owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths,goals and interests.Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.41.What is the passage mainly about?A.Finding a job.B.College students’part-time jobs.C.Craigslist Web site.D.The relation between study and work.42.By logging on the Craigslist Web site,you can ______.A.sell your old thingsB.do some shopping onlineC.create your own announcement boardD.get useful information about 450cities43.“What Color is Your Parachute?”is a book which gives tips to those who want to _____.A.work on the airplaneB.buy a parachuteC.publish a bookD.find a suitable job44.It can be learned from the passage that ______.panies often put job information in local shopsB.the Internet is the most popular tool for job hunters in the USAC.Susan ler ’s company is helping people choose careersD.California Career Services mainly serves university students45.How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.Passage FourEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages,English has the largest vocabulary —perhaps as many as two million words.However,let’s face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant,neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy,while sweetbreads,which aren’t sweet,are meat.We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes,we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes,but fingers don’t fing,grocers don’t groce,and hammers don’t ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth,shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth?One goose,two geese —so one moose,two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites,while quite a lot and quite太奇无锡分校网址 8a few are alike?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects (反映)the creativity of human beings.That’s why,when stars are out,they are visible (能看见的);but when the lights are out,they are invisible.And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it;but when I wind up this essay,I end it.46.According to the passage ______.A.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB.there should be egg in an eggplantC.pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD.boxing rings should be round47.Which of the following is the correct plural?A.Beeth.B.Geese.C.Meese.D.Tooth.48.Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A.A wise man and a wise guy.B.Overlook and oversee.C.Quite a lot and quite a few.D.Hot as hell and cold as hell.49.The underlined words “wind up ”in the last paragraph probably mean
