Or according to Webster's New International Dictionary, metonymy "consists in using the name of one thing for that of something else with which it is associated. Examples are "The pen is mightier than the sword”; "She was raised on the bottle”; "Look, the ket tle is boiling”[论述题]What is figure of speech?参考答案：the artistic arrangement of language. It is the estrangement and defamiliarization of ordinary expressions for special effects. It emphasizes the fact that linguistic effect is perceptible to the mind and the eye. Generally, we distinguish figures of similarity that include simile, metaphor, and personification; figures of relationship that incorporate metonymy, synecdoche, epithet, allusion, and pun; and figures of opposition that include oxymoron, irony, and paradox. A different distinction, however, is made between figures of speech and figures of thought. Figures of speech, or rhetorical figures, refer to the artful employment of language in such a way as to retain its literal meaning. It is the change of form, not meaning. Figures of thought, also known as tropes, however, involve changes in the meaning of words. They appeal to the mind of the reader and audience. A trope, as Quintilian put it, is the "conversion of a word or phrase from its proper signification to another.” And a figure, he said, is a form of speech different from the "ordinary mode of expression.”第四次[论述题]What is metaphor?参考答案：A metaphor is a figure of speech in which one thing is described in terms of another. In a metaphor there is an implicit comparison between two things which are essentially different. There is, however, a common quality shared by the two things compared. A metaphor, unlike a simile, is without such words as "like” or "as.” A metaphor can be used for emphasis, ornament, defamiliarization, and the like.[论述题]What is simile?参考答案：A figure of speech in which an explicit comparison is made between two distinctly different things. The comparison is made explicit by the use of such words as "like” and "as.” Sometimes, similes are even introduced by words like compare, liken, resemble, than, appears, and seems. Ametaphor diff ers from a simile in that it is without the word "like” or "as.” It is a compressed simile. But the use of "like” or "as” in a sentence or line does not always indicate there is a simile in it. For example, there is no simile if one says "The child looks like his father.” Though comparison does exist here, it is not made between two essentially dissimilar things. Familiar instances of similes are "as stubborn as a mule,” "as clear as a bell,” "as fast as the wind,” "as timid as a hare,” "as cool as a cucumber,” and "He smokes like a chimney.”第五次[论述题]What is a loose sentence?参考答案：one in which the main clause is followed by the subordinate clause. The reverse arrangement makes a periodic sentence. Loose sentences are more frequently used than periodic sentences. But periodic sentences are often used for emphasis or senten ce variety. "I was absent because I was ill” is loose; and "Because I was ill, I was absent” is periodic.[论述题]What is a periodic sentence?参考答案：From a rhetorical point of view, sentences are loose, balanced, or periodic. A periodic sentence expresses the main idea at or near the end of the sentence. It is not grammatically complete until the end is reached. The reader does not know what the sentence is mainly about until he or she finishes reading it. Thus a sense of suspense and curiosity is created. An example is the sentence that begins Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. This sentence is not complete either in syntax or meaning before the last word. So it is clearly of the periodic structure.第六次[论述题]What is parallelism?参考答案：a writer's technique of using similar grammatical forms to express similar ideas. A commonly employed device in poetry and prose, it consists of similarly constructed words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. The elements in a parallel structure are not only of similar syntactic forms but also of equal importance. Most parallel structures are composed of three or more than three elements, but some have only two elements. In the latter case, the two elements are combined with a coordinating or correlative conjunction.[论述题]What is a paragraph?参考答案：a unit, section or subdivision in a piece of writing. It is a group of sentences dealing with a particular point. A good paragraph has at least three qualities: unity, coherence, and sufficient development. Sentencesin a typical paragraph can be put into four groups according to their functions. They are paragraph introducer, paragraph developers, viewpoint or context modulator, and paragraph terminator. Ways of paragraph development include: time order, space order, listing method, example method, comparison, contrast, definition, cause and effect, classification, division or analysis, and process description.。

What are the characteristics of native element in English?The native element has the following characteristics:a. All-national character: Every English person uses the words of the native element no matterwhether he is a king or a slave.b. Great stability: the native element lives for centuries providing the English with a basis for theformation of new words the foundation is the native element or the basic word-stockaccumulated over a number of epochs.c. Mono-syllabic words: The native element in Modem English is mostly monosyllabic. e.g. sun,cow, go, run, etc.d. Great word-forming ability: Most words of native origin possess large cluster of derived andcompound words in the present-day language, e.g. the word hand, has brought such derivativesand compounds as: handy, handle, handiwork, handicraft, handful, handbook, hand barrow,handcuff.e. Wide collocability: The native element has wide collocability. Many native words enter quite anumber of set expressions, idioms, phrases and proverbial sayings, e.g. the word heel enters thefollowing units: heel of Achilles (a vulnerable point); heel over head or head over heels (upsidedown) etc.f. Plurality of meanings: Most of the native words have undergone striking transformations insemantic structure, and as a result are nowadays highly polysemantic, e.g. the verb to tell, forinstance, is made to express the following meanings: make known, express, explain;g. High frequency value: The native element (words of Anglo-Saxon origin) forms the bulk of themost frequent elements used in any style of speech. They constitute no less than 80% of the500 most frequent words listed by Thorndike and Lorge.h. Stylistically neutral: Most native words are stylistically neutral. E.g. to begin (neutral) ? tocommence (formal). There are words equally fit to be used in a lecture, a poem, or whenspeaking to a child.2. What are the classifications of Homonyms?We may classify English homonyms as follows:1) Perfect homonyms or words identical both in sound and in spelling but different in meaning.e.g.=================================================================================================== long − extended, not short (O.E. lang),long − to desire, yearn, (0. E. langian)yard − an enclosed space (O.E. geard, an enclosure).yard − a rod, an English measure of 36 inches (0.F. gyrd or gerd, a stick, rod)2) Homographs or words identical in spelling but different in sound and meaning, e.g.bow (//) − a piece of wood curved by a tight string, using for shooting arrowsbow (//) − bend the head or body3) Homophones or words identical in sound but different in spelling and meaning, e.g. son, sun;pair, pear; sight, site cite; some, sum; piece, peace; see, sea.4) Homoforms or words quite different in meaning but identical in some of their grammaticalforms e.g.bound − past and past perfect of bindbound − to bound (to jump); bound (n. = limit); bound (adj. = ready to start).found − past and past perfect of findfound − to found (= to establish)3.What are the relations between a word and its meaning? (See p. 70)The relation between the meaning of a word and its sound is arbitrary. It is not possible to explain why this or that word has this or that sound. Only a minority of words can be explained:we can say that they are motivated. Motivation can arise in three ways:1) Phonetic motivation. These are called echo words, or onomatopoeia: cuckoo, dingdong,mew, bark, buzz, etc.2) Grammatical motivation. A word like landlord is not purely conventional, although landand lord are conventional. Similarly, the word leader can be understood by any one whoknows the English verb to lead and the suffix - er.3) Motivation by meaning. Bottleneck with reference to administration, production, etc., willbe readily understood by all who know that "a narrow outlet for road-traffic¡±is oftencalled by that name. Here it is the figurative usage that provides motivation: anobstruction is called a bottleneck because it is like the neck of a bottle1£º[ÂÛÊöÌâ]¡¶Ó¢Óï´Ê»ãÑ§¡²µÚÁõ´Î³ôÒµQuestionsAnswer the following questions with examples.1. What are the roles of context in the determination of meaning?2. What are the origins of English synonyms?===================================================================================================3. Can you tell which whether "hot dog¡± and "hot weather¡± are compounds or free phrases?What are your rules?²Î¿¼´ð°¸£º¡¶Ó¢Óï´Ê»ãÑ§¡²µÚÁõ´Î³ôÒµ²Î¿¼´ð°¸1. What are the roles of context in the determination of meaning?Context plays vital roles in determining the meaning of words.1) Emotive meaning. Only the context can show whether a word should be taken as a purelyobjective expression or whether it is primarily designed to convey and arouse emotions.For example, the emotive meaning of the word "home¡±in "We are almost home¡±ismuch stronger than it is isolated as in a dictionary.2) Meaning-area. The range of application of word is often variable: English as a linguisticterm is far wider in scope than as a "national¡±term, as opposed to Irish, Welsh, andScottish. Only the context can determine the extension of the word in any situation. Manas opposed to animal covers the whole of "mankind¡±: as opposed to woman only onehalf of it.3) Shifts. Even words with a fairly uniform nucleus of meaning have different aspects andmodes of application. Only the context can tell whether healthy is meant as "having goodhealth¡± or as "conducive to health¡±.4) Ambiguity. Many words have more than one sense, and normally only one of these isapplicable in any given context.5) When two or more words identical in sound are involved, they are entirely meaninglesswithout their context. In the case of the verb see, the bishop's see, and the see the identityof sound is mere coincidence, and only the context can reveal which of the three words ismeant.2. What are the origins of English synonyms?As to the origin of synonyms, we can distinguish:1) Synonyms which originated from the native element, mostly denoting different shades ofcommon meaning, e.g. fast − speedy − swift; handsome − pretty, lovely; etc.2) Synonyms which owe their origin to foreign borrowings through crossing with otherlanguages, such as: begin − commence; finish − end; etc.3) Synonyms created through the adoption of words from dialects and American English, e.g.money ¨D beans ¨D bucks (AmE); trick ¨D gimmick (AmE); etc.4) Synonyms connected with euphemisms and vulgarisms employed for certain stylistic purposes.e.g. to lie − to distort the fact; business − biz; etc.===================================================================================================3. Can you tell which whether "hot dog¡±and "hot weather¡±are compounds or free phrases?What are your rules? (See p. 56)"hot dog¡± is a compound and hot weather is a free phrase. The following three rules are usedto draw a demarcation line between them:a Can the adjective be premodified by an adverb?+ very hot weather; -very hot dog, i.e. the "hot¡± in "hot weather¡± can be modified by adverb "very¡±, while "hot¡± in "hot dog¡± can not.b Can it assume the comparative form?+ hotter weather; -hotter dog, i.e., "hot¡±in "hot weather¡±can be used in comparative degree, while "hot¡± in "hot dog¡± can not.c Can it occupy the predicative position in a sentence?+ The weather is hot; -the dog is hot, i.e., "hot¡± in "hot weather¡± can be used as predicate of "weather¡±, while "hot¡± in "hot dog¡± can not.。

Smiley gave the stranger a good-looking and strong frogD. the stranger had put quite a bit of liquor into his own frog II.Reading ComprehensionDirection: There are 4 reading passages followed by 20 questions or unfinished statements. For each of the questions there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Please decide on the best answer.Passage 1Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to "think and concentrate.” Spilich put youngnon-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived of (剥夺)cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical （同样的）letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine, active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details."As our tests became mor e complex,” sums up Spilich, "non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins.” He predicts, "smokers might perform adequately at many jobs ― until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”1. The purpose of George Spilich's experiments is .A. to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB. to show how smoking damages people's mental capacityC. to prove that smoking affects people regular performanceD. to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory.2. George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to.A. compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB. put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC. check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD. register the prompt responses of the subjects3. The word "bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means.A. beatB. enviedC. caught up withD. made the best of4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B. Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjectsC. Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D. Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.5. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. Smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB. smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC. no airline pilot smoke during flightsD. smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency casesPassage 2Aging is the process of growing old. It occurs eventually in every living thing provided, of course, that an illness or accident does not kill it prematurely. The most familiar outward signs of aging may be seen in old people, such as the greying of the hair and the wrinkling of the skin. Signs of aging in a pet dog or cat include loss of playfulness and energy, a decline in hearing and eyesight, or even a slight greying of the coat. Plants age too, but the signs are much harder to detect.Most body parts grow bigger and stronger, and function more efficiently during childhood. They reach their peak at the time of maturity, of early adulthood. After that, they begin to decline. Bones, for example, gradually become lighter and more brittle易碎的. In the aged, the joints关节 between the bones also become rigid僵硬的and more inflexible. This can make moving very painful.All the major organs of the body show signs of aging. The brain, for example, works less efficiently, and even gets smaller in size. Thinking processes of all sorts are slowed down. Old people often have trouble in remembering recent events.One of the most serious changes of old age occurs in the arteries, the blood vessels that lead from the heart. They become thickened and constricted, allowing less blood to flow to the rest of the body. This condition accounts, directly or indirectly, for many of the diseases of the aged. It may, for example, result in heart attack.Aging is not a uniform process. Different parts of the body wear out 逐渐用完或消耗at different rates. There are great differences among people in their rate of aging. Even the cells细胞of the body differ in the way they age. The majority of cells are capable of reproducing themselves many times during the course of a lifetime. Nerve cells and muscle fibers can never be replaced once they wear out.Gerontologists, scientists who study the process of aging believe the wearing out of the body is controlled by a built-in biological time-clock. They are trying to discover how this clock works so that they can slow down the process. This could give man a longer life and a great number of productive years.1. What is the main idea in the first paragraph?A. Signs of aging are easier to detect in animals than in plants.B. Aging occurs in every living thing after it has reached maturity.C. The outward signs of aging may be seen in old people.D. Not all signs of aging are visible.2. "The arteries” refers to ______.A. the paths along which blood flows to all parts of the bodyB. the tubes carrying blood back to the heartC. vessels that are thickened and constrictedD. such heart diseases as suffered by old people3. "Aging is not a uniform process” means that ______.A. old people do not have the same outward signs of agingB. not all people age at the same ageC. the process of aging is slowD. nerve cells and muscle fibers do not age simultaneously4. Which of the statements about aging is false?A. People vary in their rate of aging.B. The cells of the body age in different ways.C. The various parts of the body do not wear out at the same rate.D. All body cells once worn out can never be replaced.5. According to the passage, what is responsible for many of the diseases of the old?A. Their trouble in remembering recent events.B. The worn out nerve cells and muscle-fibers.C. The blood vessels that have become thickened and constricted.D. The rigid and inflexible joints between the bones.Passage 3Among the more colorful characters of Leadville's golden age were H.A.W. Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead 家园in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was lured吸引by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines 矿山. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead 铅矿层are sure to be found here.” he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville's fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or "grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for "grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won't make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. Theypicked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.1. Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT_____.A. because Tabor became its leading citizenB. because great deposits of lead is expected to be found thereC. because it could bring good fortune to TaborD. because it was renamed2. The word "grubstake” in paragraph 2 means_____.A. to supply miners with food and suppliesB. to open a general storeC. to do one's contribution to the development of the mineD. to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered3. Tabor made his first fortune_____.A. by supplying two prospective miners and getting in return a one-third interest in the findingsB. because he was persuaded by the two miners to quit supplyingC. by buying the shares of the otherD. as a land speculator4. The underlying reason for Tabor's life career is_____.A. purely accidentalB. based on the analysis of miner's being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining siteC. through the help from his second wifeD. he planned well and accomplished targets step by step5. If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part?A. Tabor's life.B. Tabor's second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.C. Other colorful characters.D. Tabor's other careersPassage 4In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ‘keeping up with the Joneses' is about, It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life-style of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories, He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses” because ‘Jones' is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich life-style of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ‘Jonses' in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.1. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ____________.A. want to be as rich as their neighboursB. want others to know or to think that they are richC. don't want others to know they are richD. want to be happy2.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1"Culture consists of all shared products of human society¡± (Robertson ,1981). This means not only such material things as cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material things such as ideas, customs, family patterns, and languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, "the ways of a people¡±.Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, the maintaining of culture would not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture, and it reflects culture. In the broadest sense, language is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises (°üº¬)their historical and cultural backgrounds, as well as their approach to life and their ways of living and thinking.We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact (Ï´»¥Ó°Ïì), and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another, that each culture is unique. As cultures are diverse, languages are diverse. It is only natural that with differences in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Understanding is not always easy.Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as native speakers of thatlanguage see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their society, learning to understand their "language of the mind¡±. Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable (²»¿É²Ö¸îµÄ)from learning its culture.1. According to the first paragraph, the term "culture¡± refers to _________.A. things like cities, organizations and schoolsB. ideas, customs, family patterns and languagesC. all things manufactured by human raceD. the total that constitutes a society2. The second paragraph tells us about _________.A. the role of language in cultureB. the relationship between language and cultureC. the influence of culture on languageD. the representation of culture3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to some social scientists?A. Language reflects cultureB. Language shapes cultureC. Language represents cultureD. Language maintains culture4. The passage implies that there will be no difficulty in communication if people from differentcountries can _________.A. speak each other's languagesB. master each other's languages and culturesC. tell the differences between languages and culturesD. communicate in the same languages5. This passage is probably taken from a book _________.A. on culturesB. on language learningC. on learning a language through cultureD. on communication in different countries Passage 2After 10 seasons wearing the No 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs (¼¾ºóÈü). So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists (³¨À¸³÷¼Ò).There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey (ÔË¶¯ÉÀ). Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is "all about money¡±. Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard (²Ç³£Ö´ÖøµÄ) fan of the popular TV drama "24¡±.All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss (´ó¾ªÐ¡¹Ö) over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal, and the Houston Rockets' No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections. Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45. Jordan's elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No 11 stands for two people in love¨D meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.1. Which team has Bryant played for?A. The Los Angeles Lakers.B. The Houston Rockets.C. The Chicago Bulls.D. The Miami Heats.2. How long has Bryant been wearing No 8?A. Since he started to play basketball.B. For ten seasons.C. Since he entered high school.D. Since he left the Lakers.3. Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryant's motive to change his number,according to this passage?A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.C. He wants to earn more money.D. He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.4. Why did Jordan choose No 23?A. Because that number would make him famous.B. Because that number would make his fans miss him.C. Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.D. Because that number was easy to remember.5. What does the number Yao Ming chose stand for?A. Two long legs.B. Two strong arms.C. Two people in love.D. Two big countries.Passage 3Anna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column (³¨À¸). After she retired, she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems--mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the year, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called: "Sixty Plus,¡± which focuses on gettingold. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems which being misunderstood.Anna Douglas used her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he comes to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows."It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world,¡±says Mrs. Douglas. "That means questioning and listening ¨D and listening is not what old people do best.¡±She continues, "Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize (ÅúÆÀ) your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don't give them your opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.¡±1. Anna Douglas understands the problems of old people because _________.A. she herself is oldB. she likes their musicC. she has grandchildrenD. she watches their television programs2. Anna Douglas' newspaper column_________.A. contains mostly funny storiesB. has some ideas for youngstersC. is about how to find jobs for old peopleD. discusses the problems of the aged3. What advice did Mrs. Douglas NOT give to the reader whose grandchildren didn't want tosee him?A. Listen to pop musicB. Watch more popular TV showsC. Tell more interesting storiesD. Try to understand his grandchildren4. According to Mrs. Douglas, old people need to learn how to _________.A. workB. criticizeC. listenD. complain5. According to the last paragraph, the main point of Mrs. Douglas' advice is that old people_________.A. have a lot to learn from the youngB. should understand and respect the youngC. had better improve their hearing not to misunderstand the youngD. should show respect for the young even when criticizing themPassage 4Like fingerprints, no two faces are exactly the same. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the characters that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child ¨D even an animal, such as a bird ¨D can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell two people apart by how they behave. A person's personality means the ways in which he acts, speaks, thinks, and feels that make him different from others. Like the human race, human personality is very complex. But describing a person's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face¡± looks like, you would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person¡±, you might begin to think about someone who is kind, thoughtful, friendly, warm, and so on.There are many words that can be used to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts.Gordon Allport, a U.S. scientist who studies the human mind, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in human behavior. And many of us use these words to describe different types of people ¨D bookworms (Êé´ô³Ó)£¬fools, workaholics (¹¤³÷¿ñ).1. According to the passage, a very young child can _________.A. learn to recognize facesB. describe how a person thinksC. learn to recognize fingerprintsD. describe what a "nice person¡± is like2. According to the passage, we can tell two people apart by _________.A. their behaviorB. their namesC. their handsD. their clothes3. Describing a "nice face¡± _________.A. is quite easyB. is a difficult taskC. is not as difficult as describing a "nice person¡±D. may remind you of someone who was kind, thoughtful and friendly4. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. a "nice person¡± is very complexB. it's hard to describe a "nice person¡±C. a "nice person¡± is considerate and kindD. when we tell one person from another, we often refer to their faces5. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Gordon Allport?A. He describes himself as a bookworm.B. He does research on the human mind.C. He found about 18,000 English words to describe human behavior.D. The words he found are being used by many people to describe a person.II. Answer teh following questions briefly.1.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial (ÈËÔì)substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (ÎïÖÊ), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins whichcannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (´¦Àí) of the products we use in our daily lives.1. The main cause of pollution is______.A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentB. the production of new industrial goodsC. increased amounts of a natural substanceD. our ever-increasing population2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only______.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause______.A. air and water pollutionB.both a litter problem and a waste of resourcesC. to pay for the serviceD. to produce the receipt4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?A. Cutting out unnecessary buyingB. Eating lessC. Reduce excess useD. Carefully dispose our daily products.5. What does the underlined word "litter¡± mean in paragraph 2 ?A. not manyB. serious problemC. bits of waste thingsD. industrial pollution Passage 2The young people who talk of the village as being "dead¡± are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "Village life¡± is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline (Ë¥Âä) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What "village life¡± meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp ¨Doil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating tomake "village life¡± and "town life¡± almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life. "It is just life, and that a better life.¡±Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid - morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.1. By saying that village is not dead, but "village life¡±is dead, the writer suggests that_________A. those young people who talk of the village as being "dead¡± are wrongB the two statements are against each otherC. "village life¡± today is rather uninterestingD. "village life¡± today is no longer like what is used to be.2. It was _________ that "village life¡± began to take a sharp turn.A. about a century agoB. during the two world warsC. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the villageD. only recently3. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________A. lived a simpler life than villagers todayB. knew fewer people than villagers today.C. found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD. liked to wash themselves with cold water.4. The expression "There is no point whatever in talking about¡¡±in paragraph 3 means that_________A. there is no end to the talking about....B. It is harmful to talk about¡.C. It is not meaningless to talk about....D. there is no reason for talking about5. From the passage we can see that the writer's attitude toward "village life¡± is ___________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 3Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, o after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundred houses had been burned down in the night and he fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up ¡®on a high part of the buildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane; the baker's house had caught fire from the over- heated oven and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.1. What is the passage about?A. The Great Fire of London.B. Who was the first to discover the fire?C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.D. The losses caused by the fire.2. They were up very late because ________.A. it was Sunday morningB. they were not very sleepyC. they were preparing for the dinner.D. they saw the great fire start.3. What was Pepys doing when his wife told him about the fire?A. He was asleep.B. He was writing something.C. He was putting things back.D. He was looking out of the window.4. "Pepys slipped on his dressing gown.¡± " To slip on¡± means ________.A. to be wearingB. to be pushingC. to take offD. to put on5. Why did the flames spread quickly?A. The oven became very hot.B. The houses were close together.C. The baker did nothing to stop it.D. The baker's house was burning quickly.Passage 4During the American War of Independence, women were involved in the active fighting in three ways. First, as members of a distinct branch of the Continental Army, referred to as "Women of the Army¡±, women worked in field hospitals and acted as military support in such roles as water carriers. In an emergency (½ô¼±Ê±¿Ì), women water carriers, who had plenty of opportunity to observe the firing of cannons, could replace a wounded comrade. The second way that women were involved in active fighting was as regular troop members who wore men's uniforms and fought side by side with their male counterparts. Theoretically, women were not supposed to be recruited into the Continental Army, but if a woman was a good soldier, no one made an issue of sex at a time when the army was so short of soldiers that boys not yet in their teens were also being recruited in violation of rules. Third, women were occasional fighters affiliated with local militia (ÃñÍÅ) companies or committees of safety formed to protect the local community.第 11 页共 11 页 1.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Women played an important role in military hospitals during the Revolutionary War.B. The Continental Army was successful in teaching women to fire cannons.C. The services of women on committees of safety were crucial in winning the war.D.

Women were involved in fighting the was for American independence in all of the following ways except as .A. members of committees of safetyB. support personnel at medical facilitiesC. recruited soldiers for the Continental armyD. combat troops in regular army5.
