For each questions there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right.” But “you’ve put a bug in his ear”—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel”, Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”11. According to the writer, greetings, such as “How do you feel?”_________.A. show one’s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy12.

George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his_________.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness15. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve_________.A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warning Passage 2I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 am. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.We set off for the test centre with an hour to go.

Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off.

I had developed a couldn’t-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car. I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.16.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best completes the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.American’s latest strategy for single persons who don’t want to be single any longer has many names: speed-dating, express-date, 10-minute-dating or simply mini-date.The principle is the same: Why spend an entire evening with a stranger _31_ you realize after only the first few minutes that you can’t stand the person?The solution: The man and woman sit down _32_ each other. A bell is sounded, and in the next 7 to 10 minutes each one tries to find out as much as possible about the other persons. When the bell _33_ off a second time, the men stand up and move on to the next female.At such a meeting in San Francisco _34_, some 200 men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 had a hopeful expression on their faces, in two long _35_ opposite each other. The signal was given, and then almost everybody started talking away.Richard Gosse, _36_ of “American Singles,”says this is the fastest, most effective and at the moment “hottest” way to search for a partner. Minute-dates have become a _37_ everywhere from computer fans in Silicon Valley to gays in San Francisco to the suburbs of Chicago. Gosse says the quick method to get to know each other is helpful above all for shy singles who are not brave enough to speak to a stranger in a bar.His _38_: Don’t talk about money, your weight or about your former partner, but rather about your dreams, desires and hobbies.Most speed-dating meetings cost about US $25 per evening, _39_a person to get to know 15 to 20 people of the opposite sex. Speed-dating is so much in demand in America that most meetings are _40_out weeks and months in advance.31. A. if B. before C. until D. unless32. A. watching B. facing C. noticing D. separating33.
