So the massacre(大屠杀)on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgments, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basicrules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic roadworthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has deceased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the roadside.41．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A．To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B．To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walker.C．To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.D．To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.正确答案：D42．According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because( ).A．autos have become most destructive to mankindB．people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC．civilization brings much harm to peopleD．the lack of virtue is becoming more severe正确答案：D43．Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 2?A．To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B．To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C．To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D．To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.正确答案：B44．Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A．Careless bicycle-riders.B．Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.C．Irresponsible driver.D．Mindless people walking in the street.正确答案：A45．Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?A．Happy and rather confident.B．Surprised and very pleased.C．Disappointed and deeply worried.D．Doubtful yet still longing for.正确答案：DThe often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising, has grown as societies have become more industrialized and, therefore, more commercialized. No modern industry or company can survive without advertising. It is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished, as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise would suffer a considerable loss. Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Television’s primary purpose, however, is not to provide an entertainment service,except for government-owned network, it exists in order to promote products for companies. Unless the television industry received income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies. Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products.In some sensitive cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials simply attract people to buy a particular publication. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising. Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyers to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products what are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires that prevent skidding(刹车打滑)on wet pavement. Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay news from the manufacture to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of people’s everyday lives and a part of every company’s budget.46．According to the passage, modern industry or company can survive( ).A．if advertising continues to existB．if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains goodC．if “the criticized child” dies outD．if societies have become more industrialized正确答案：A47．From the passage, we may figure out that “vital”in line 3, paragraph 1means( ).A．directB．importantC．onlyD．visible正确答案：B48．According to the passage, the main purpose of television industry is( ).A．to make money from customersB．to advertise for companiesC．to provide entertainment serviceD．to persuade people to buy new types of television正确答案：B49．The main function of advertising is( ).A．promoting products for companiesB．informing public of new productsC．influencing buyersD．all of the above正确答案：D50．Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?A．Advertising does not always increase the sales.B．Advertising serves to relay information from buyers to producers.C．Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday lives.D．It is suggested that advertising should be abolished.正确答案：DAccording to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are not survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask question if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary. In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low andcover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.51．According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?A．Before takeoff.B．In an emergency.C．Throughout the flight.D．During landings.正确答案：A52．Which exits suggested in the passage should an airline passenger locate before takeoff?A．The ones that can be found in the dark.B．The two closest to the passenger’s seat.C．The ones at the back of the plane.D．The nearest one.正确答案：D53．Judging from the passage, people have more chances to survive fires in aircraft if they( ).A．fasten their seat belt tightlyB．read airline safety statistics before takeoffC．keep their feet flat on the floorD．keep their heads low正确答案：D54．Airline passengers are specifically told NOT to( ).A．ask question about safety during the flightB．jump in any circumstancesC．carry personal belongings in an emergencyD．locate the nearest exit正确答案：C55．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To please travelers.B．To give the information of airline industry statistics.C．To guide people to survive fires.D．To provide safety advice.正确答案：DA few years ago an American campaigner wrote a book in which he set the main points of his fascinating crusade(改革运动)-to abolish television. His book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is an American cult(狂热崇拜的)bestseller, and after eight editions is still generating concern and savage debate(热烈的讨论)in the USA. JerryMander, a former advertising expert is convinced that for the sake of our freedom, and mental and physical health, we should learn to live without TV. Through his advertising background Mander is aware of how much of television is concerned with advertising. He sees the planting of values for profit as “a deep, profound and disturbing act by the few against the many, for a trivial purpose”. And, even without commercials, he sees TV as disturbing because it crams people’s heads with images, which alter the way they feel and behave. Pictures formed by 300, 000 tiny dancing dots altering 30 times per second, bombard(轰击)their eyes as people scan the images 10 times a second. The brain registers stores all 30 images, but the conscious mind registers far fewer. But, argues Mander, even if you reject or doubt what you see consciously, it is too late, the crucial(极其重要的)messages have gone home. He further argues that TV is deadening experience as it is restricted to just two senses—sight and sound. “Perception(感觉，感知)is dulled and flattened, “says Mander, “when you can’t feel and smell and totally experience an event. “People are just sitting passively for up to four hours a night watching a flickering screen and listening to artificial sound. “No culture in history has spent such an enormous amount of time looking at artificial light, “says Mander, “and another worrying fact is that prolonged exposure to artificial light alters human cells, which is why it is being used for certain medical treatment. “Researchers do not know if lifelong TV exposure is a physical risk or not, but as Mander Would argue, why run the risk ? It is important that people get up now and switch off before the harm is done —they might also become brainwashed, or, who knows, they might even be approaching death.56．Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a book which( ).A．caused distress to many AmericansB．achieved great success overseasC．aroused nation-wide interestD．expressed the views of a fascinating man正确答案：C57．JerryMander objects to TV advertising mainly because( ).A．the underlying principles concern money-makingB．it isineffectual in getting its message acrossC．a few people are deeply disturbed by itD．the values it conveys are accepted by all正确答案：A58．Mander thinks people’s feelings and behaviour are changed because( ).A．the brain is able to make conscious decisionsB．the conscious mind is incapable of filtering images to the brainC．their eyes scan a TV screen 10 times a secondD．the conscious mind is unable to reject the images it sees正确答案：B59．By watching TV for several hours every night, Mander implies that( ).A．people would lose the use of their other sensesB．people’s experience of life would become deadenedC．people’s ability to respond to events would lessenD．people would come to depend on only two senses正确答案：C60．Mander suggests that viewing TV over long periods of time( ).A．could lead to deathB．might cause brain damageC．could endanger people’s healthD．would make cells damaged正确答案：CClozeRumor is the most【C1】______way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth【C2】______mouth.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1.In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact insocial settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true thatyou are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7.

Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many moreinfertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII. Writing (12 points)The importance of keeping a good moodYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your view is.In the second part, support your view with one or two reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.(150 words)。

名姓线号学封级班卷试密学大峡三三峡大学专升本考试模拟试卷《英语》A注意：1、本试卷共 6 页； 2、考试时间:120 分钟3、姓名、学号必须写在指定地方Directions:In this section there are four passages. Each passage is followedby five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are fourchoices. Choose the best answer.Passage 1Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving commentsfrom other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager．We’ve heard everything from，“Sure she’s a good kid，but justwait，now that she’s teenager…”to the ever inspiring，“Well，all kids arerotten when they are teenagers，just try to go through it the best way youcan．”What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel theneed to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both ourdaughters．I know that teenagers can be moody（闷闷不乐）and difficult at times，but I’m 38 and I can also be difficult and moody．We worry about the futureand want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there areopportunities that wait for them．However, at the very point they set out onthat journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly（不赞成），just waiting for them to make mistake．“just like we knew theywould．”We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs，yet we failto set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration，demonstrating（示范）our respect for them．I have，at times been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that themore I see each person as a person，the more I am pleasantly surprised insome way or another. For example，a few weeks ago my husband and I werehaving dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and satdown right beside US．I must admit that my first thought was，“perfect，theregoes our quiet, peaceful dinner．”I was so wrong! These young men were wellbehaved．quiet and left a nice tip for the waitress．Once I looked beyond thejeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, Isaw what fine people these kids were．Many of the people who，perhaps unknowingly, treat teens withdisrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are ourchildren’s heroes. I feel that unless We give them something better to go after,we really shouldn’t complain．1．When their children reach their teens，parents usually expect_________．2．3．fir4．lifha5．star1学封级班卷试密学大峡三Passage 2In the United States, a person can take credit only for what he has accomplishe d by himself. Americans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. ( In the United States, that would be considered “ an accident of birth.”) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work,having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whatever level they haveachieved—all by themselves. The American social system has, of course,made it possible forAmericans to move, relatively easily, up the social ladder,whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self—mademan or woman” is still very much the ideal in the present—day America.Americans believe that competition brings out the best in any individual.They claim that it challenges or forces each person to produce the very bestthat is humanely possible. Consequently, the foreign visitors will seecompetition being fostered in the American home and in the Americanclassroom, even at the youngest age levels. You may find the value placed oncompetition disagreeable, especially if you come from a society that promotescooperation rather than competition among individuals. But Americanteaching in Third World countries find the lack of competition in a classroomsituation equally distressing. They soon learn that what they had thought to beone of the universal human characteristics represented only a peculiarlyAmerican (or Western) value.Americans, valuing competition, have devised an economic system to gowith it—free enterprises, Americans feel very strongly that a highlycompetitive economy will bring out the best in its people and ultimately, thatthe society which fosters competition will progress most rapidly. If you lookfor it, you will see evidence in all areas—in all fields as diverse as medicine,the arts, education, and sports—that free enterprise is the approach most oftenpreferred in America.6. What does the author mean by saying “The ‘self-made man or woman’ isstill very much the ideal in present-day America”?A) Americans no longer respect those who are born rich as they used to.B) Americans still respect those who have climbed up the social orderthrough hard workC) Americans think that an ideal man or woman should be born poor.D) Americans think that only the self-made man or woman is worthy ofrespect.7. What does the author think of the American social system?A) It is a system that does not favor those who are born rich.B) It is a system that makes social climbing very difficult, if not impossible.C) It makes it comparatively easy for the poor to move up the social order.D) It is the best system possible in the world.8. Americans teaching in Third World countries found that_____.A) competition is a unique American (or Western) valueB) competition must be fostered in the classroom for success in businessC) competition is more important in bringing out progressD) competition is one of the universal human characteristics9. We can infer from the passage that free enterprise is ______.10PaEnDDthmreprmanrecoon2级班卷试密学大峡三Hess supervises 1200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to "always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is by 'cheating at both ends.' For example," Hess said, "I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year -- so I come in a little late. A few times ayear I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend hisswim meet."Like most other successful women in the auto industry, Hess's daybegins early and ends late. In her case, coaching her son's basketball gameends some of Hess's days. "Occasionally," she adds, "I come in to work on theweekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to becalled to work while I am on vacation."11. What is Cindy's chief responsibility now?A) Renewing promising car models.B) Supervising production.C) Doing market research.D) Developing small cars.12. When will a company renew an existing model?A) When it sells well and brings in a good profit.B) When it needs improvement to meet the needs of users.C) When some of its features have to be deleted.D) When certain options have to be added.13. What does Cindy mean by "cheating at both ends?A) Do things for her family when she is supposed to be at work.B) Work for the company while she is supposed to stay at home.C) Meet the demands of both family and work with a flexible schedule.D) Balance the needs of her family against the demands of her work.14.

Every day entire species ofplants and animals die out, and for the first time in history this is due to theactions of just one species: humans. We already know about five massextinctions, and now a sixth seems to be under way. This one is different,because it is man-made. Deforestation of the rain forests is just one aspect ofthe phenomenon. Most people may have heard about that, but few peopleknow that most of the species existing in the rain forests have never beendescribed by science. Often they die out before we ever know they existed.Nobody can tell what treasures we lose, perhaps a cure for cancer or othermodern-day disease.World-famous Harvard professor Edward O. Wilson examines life on ourplstimsothanpeofabTeisof161)17pr3级班卷试密学大峡三18.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likelyto be happy in the surroundings y ou can provide. Specialists’ advice isuseful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection . The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love for itsmother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A. You can always get help from the specialists.B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.2. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A. The color of the dog.B. The price of the dog.C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.3. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A. It must be trained so that it won’t bite.B. It demands more food and space.C. It needs more love and care.D. It must be looked after carefully.4. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A. It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C. They are less likely to run away.D. It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.5. The word “affection” (line 11) means _____.A. loveB. effectC. tieD. relationshipMovies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard thefilm has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic（浪漫的）and beautiful than in real life.The biggest “dream factories” are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can’t. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys” win in the movies.6. The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want _____.A. to enjoy a good storyB. to experience an exciting lifeC. to see the actors and actressesD. to escape their daily life7. Which of the following is people’s normal response to the movies they watch?A. They feel that everything on the screen is familiar to them.B. They try to turn their dreams into reality.C. They become so involved that they forget their own problems.D. They are touched by the life stories of the stories of the actors and actresses.8. It is obvious that real life is _____.A. less romantic than that in the moviesB. more romantic than that in the moviesC. as romantic as that in the moviesD. filled with romantic stories9.

In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome ,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who wereworking for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who hadmade a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers ,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an ""objective"" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.11.

B．they are too concerned about their children’s future
C．they fail to treat teenagers with enough kindness and respect
1．When their children reach their teens，parents usually expect_________．
A．troubleB．sympathyC．congratulationsD．inspiring comments
2．In the author’s opinion，the trouble with parents is that________．
I know that teenagers can be moody（闷闷不乐）and difficult at times，but I’m 38 and I can also be difficult and moody．We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that wait for them．However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly（不赞成），just waiting for them to make mistake．“just like we knew they would．”We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs，yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration，demonstrating（示范）our respect for them．
B．If our children admire pop singers and sports starts，it is the parents who are to blame．
C．Pop singers and sports stars should not be heroes of our children．
Many of the people who，perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless We give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain．
Passage 1
Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager．We’ve heard everything from，“Sure she’s a good kid，but just wait，now that she’s teenager…”to the ever inspiring，“Well，all kids are rotten when they are teenagers，just try to go through it the best way you can．”What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters．

Passage 2
In theUnitedStates, a person can take credit only for what he has accomplished by himself. Americans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. ( In the United States, that would be considered “ an accident of birth.”) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work, having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whatever level they have achieved—all by themselves. The American social system has, of course, made it possible forAmericansto move, relatively easily, up the social ladder, whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self—made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in the present—dayAmerica.
D．They will respect you if you respect them．
5．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sports starts．

C．They’re fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair．
D．they speak ill of their children within their hearing
3．When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was that__________．
I have，at times been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person，the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example，a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside US．I must admit that my first thought was，“perfect，there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner．”I was so wrong! These young men were wellbehaved．quiet and left a nice tip for the waitress．Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were．
D．she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise
4．What does the author think of the two teenage boys?
A．They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle．
