The price of oil rose _____ a further $2 a barrel.A、atB、toC、byD、onPart IV Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!〞 shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (), falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!61. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?A、He made a lot of money.B、He enjoyed many of his adventures.C、He had a lot of adventures.D、He fought as a soldier.62. When did the story most likely happen?A、In the spring.B、In the summer.C、In the fall.D、In the winter.63. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?A、He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.B、He was really tired from the long journey.C、He had the habit of going to bed early.D、His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.64. Why was the writer glad after the accident?A、He realized he would have a good sleep.B、He had heard many exciting stories.C、He had a narrow escape from death.D、He had experienced a great adventure.65. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?A、He bought it and had it repaired.B、He gave it to his neighbors.C、He sold it to others.D、He returned it to the landlord.Passage TwoQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured〞 and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer〞.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy〞. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium〞, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. 66. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A、The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B、The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C、The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D、The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.67. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A、All risks of business.B、All houses damaged by fire.C、Goods with clearly marked prices.D、Things whose values can be estimated.68. What do insurers firmly believe?A、People don’t like to spend their money.B、No one can avoid any risks.C、Almost all people trust insurance.D、Most people like to help others.69. What does “premium〞 (Para.3) most probably mean in the passage?A、The money paid by the insured.B、A printed form of contract.C、The money paid for the loss.D、The contributions of insurers.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A、Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.B、Insurance has a solid legal basis.C、Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.D、Insurance is not worth buying.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (欺骗). When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽彩给奖法). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!〞 this guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Dishonest politicians often use this method. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!〞 That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.〞Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹).〞 It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often.

After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.The “standard of living〞 of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost () on its capacity to produce wealth. (76) “Wealth〞 in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods〞 such as food and clothing, and “services〞 such as transport and entertainment.(77) A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon acountry’s natural resources, such as coal, goal, and other minerals, water supply and so on.(78) Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is, perhaps as well as the U.S.A., rich in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. (79) Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen (工匠) and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. (80) As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin (余地) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working days.76.77.78.79.80.Part VI Translation from Chinese into English81. 在学习讲英语时不要怕被人笑话。

The price of oil rose _____ a further $2 a barrel.A. atB. toC. byD. onPart IV Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days’ holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (), falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country.This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!61. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?A. He made a lot of money.B. He enjoyed many of his adventures.C. He had a lot of adventures.D. He fought as a soldier.62. When did the story most likely happen?A. In the spring.B. In the summer.C. In the fall.D. In the winter.63. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?A. He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.B. He was really tired from the long journey.C. He had the habit of going to bed early.D. His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.64. Why was the writer glad after the accident?A. He realized he would have a good sleep.B. He had heard many exciting stories.C. He had a narrow escape from death.D. He had experienced a great adventure.65. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?A. He bought it and had it repaired.B. He gave it to his neighbors.C. He sold it to others.D. He returned it to the landlord.Passage TwoQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of m oney, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.66. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A. The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B. The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C. The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D. The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.67. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A. All risks of business.B. All houses damaged by fire.C. Goods with clearly marked prices.D. Things whose values can be estimated.68. What do insurers firmly believe?A. People don’t like to spend their money.B. No one can avoid any risks.C. Almost all people trust insurance.D. Most people like to help others.69. What does “premium” (Para.3) most probably mean in the passage?A. The money paid by the insured.B. A printed form of contract.C. The money paid for the loss.D. The contributions of insurers.70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.B. Insurance has a solid legal basis.C. Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.D. Insurance is not worth buying.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (欺骗). When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽彩给奖法). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” this guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just a s dishonest.Dishonest politicians often use this method. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against t he law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky C ompany.This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.71. What does the writer want to tell us with example of the lottery winner?A. He was lucky to win the lottery.B. He did not tell the whole truth.C. Lottery makes its buyers dishonest.D. People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets.72. What does the passage imply about Governor Smith?A. She was the most honest politician.B. She did a good job in her last term.C. She was opposed by many people in her state.D. She created more job opportunities than ever before.73. What does the writer mainly say about half-truths?A. They are nothing but lies.B. They are as dishonest as lies.C. They are false claims.D. They are popular with people.74. What is the writer’s attitude toward half-truths?A. DoubtfulB. NegativeC. NeutralD. Positive75. What does the word “mislead” (Para. 3) most likely mean in the passage?A. CheatB. GuideC. MistakeD. InformPart V Translation from English into ChineseDirections: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined sections, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, translate the underlined sections into Chinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.

There were four of us: me, Mum and Dad, and Mum's sister, Auntie June. Oh, and I mustn't forget to 29 Spot, our little dog. I was 30 to go off by myself all day, 31 I promised to be careful and took Spot with me for32 One day I was out fishing with Spot when we heard a lot of shouting in the33 followed by a scream and splash. I was a bit 34 so I called Spot and we both hid 35 a bush where we could see but not be 36 . After a few moments, a straw hat came drifting down the river, followed by an oar, a picnic basket and 37 oar. Then came the rowing boat itself, but it was 38 upside down! A few seconds later my Dad and Auntie June came running 39 the river bank, both wet 40 . Spot started barking so I came out of hiding and said hello. My Dad got really angry 41 me for not trying to catch the boat as it went past. luckily, 42 , the boat and both the oars had been caught by an overhanging tree a little further downstream, but not the hat or picnic basket. So I had to let them 43 my sandwiches. Dad and Auntie June both made me 44 not to tell Mum what had happened 45 she would be worried.26.[A] on [B] by [C] in [D] across27.[A] where [B] that [C] which [D] when28.[A] plan [B] manage [C] consume [D] spend29.[A] mention [B] bring [C] send [D] lead30.[A] forced [B] ordered [C] allowed [D] encouraged31.[A] even if [B] provided [C] lest [D] as if32.[A] instruction[B] inspection[C] protection [D] supervision33.[A] place [B] space [C] sky [D] distance34.[A] scared [B] amused [C] excited [D] disturbed35.[A] beside [B] before [C] behind [D] beneath36.[A] seen [B] viewed [C] watched [D] observed37.[A] the other [B] each other[C] another [D] one another38.[A] rolling [B] floating [C] circling [D] sinking39.[A] down [B] beside [C] to [D] on40.[A] within [B] over [C] under [D] through41.[A] at [B] against [C] with [D] to42.[A] moreover [B] then [C] therefore [D] however43.[A] spare [B] share [C] borrow [D] divide44.[A] agree [B] decide [C] guarantee [D] promise45.[A] except that[B] in case [C] in order that[D] on condition thatSECTION III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Part ADirections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves.The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's shell, variations in the earth's force ofattraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen)the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.46.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?[A] Earthquake destruction is declining.[B] Earthquake forecast is improving.[C] Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.[D] Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.47.We can infer from the passage that quakes .[A] may happen anywhere at any time[B] mostly strike in oceans and mountains[C] are unobservable in masses of land[D] are hardly the direct cause of fatalities48.The phrase "this element of the unknown" (Paragraph 3) refers to .[A] the extension of earthquake zones[B] the percentage of earthquake occurrences[C] when and where earthquakes may occur[D] what big damage earthquakes may cause49.Man's research on earthquake forecast at present is to .[A] reduce the loss from earthquake disasters[B] lower the frequency of earthquakes[C] release the energy that causes earthquakes[D] analyze the relationship between different earthquakes50.Which of the following describes the author's purpose in writing the passage?[A] Inform the reader.[B] Entertain the reader.[C] Disprove a concept.[D] Question a concept.Text 2The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of theirsocieties.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population,bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked . As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from cuntry to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.51.One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that .[A] those countries encourage people to have large families[B] people can get government support if they have more kids[C] improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly [D] those countries have enough resources to support a large population 52.The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values . [A] in carrying out family planning[B] in producing birth control drugs[C] in improving public health standards[D] in introducing birth control techniques53.A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to .[A] a rise in work efficiency[B] a shortage of farm workers[C] a decline in grain production[D] a reduction in average income54.Some peole believe that population control in developed countries may . [A] increase market demand[B] lower unemployment rate[C] slow down economic growth[D] create more job opportunities55.According to the writer, developd countries prefer .[A] a strandstill population[B] a fast increasing population[C] a slowly growing population[D] a steadily decreasing populationText 3Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends, but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince? Her daily routine was not fascinating. She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals. If someone had asked Cinderella, "Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?" she probably would have answered, "Why, none, of course. Housework is my duty!" In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams, you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible. If you do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, somepeople claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continues to wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy doing it. Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.56.For Cinderella, doing household work is .[A] an assignment[B] a compulsion[C] an obligation[D] a burden57.Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because .[A] it has to be done by one person[B] it must be handled skillfully[C] it involves careful planning[D] it is time-consuming58.To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should .[A] know how to iron certain clothes material[B] spare no care through all the procedures[C] find some proper hangers for the ironed[D] pay special attention to the seams59.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because .[A] hand-washed dishes are cleaner[B] dishwashers are not so easily handled[C] some dishes cannot be machine washed[D] washing dishes by hand is cheaper60.Ironing is different from dishwashing in that .[A] it requires patience[B] it is not a daily routine[C] it is not laborious[D] it demands less carePart BDirections:Read the texts from a newspaper article in which five people talk about where they played when they were children. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each people(61 to 65) to one of the statements(A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Peter:My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the 'goals' would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it.Simon:The playground was quite small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was more like a prison yard on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass.Alan:I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which I received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. my amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life.Nick:I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up, more than in the rest of the little town's correct andneat suburbia, where my house was.Julle:Until I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note:there are two extra statements.Statements61. Peter [A]I developed sporting skills there.62. Simon [B]I never went straight home from school.63. Alan [C]I enjoyed the feeling of flying.64. Nick [D]My play area was just outside my classroom.65. Julle [E]I enjoyed both being alone and with friends.[F]I played in a place dangerous in others'eyes.[G]There were some playground equipment around my play area.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.Suppose you have made an appointmen with your friend at 5 p.m., but you have some urgent business to attend to and have to cancel your appointment.

These sentences are all taken from the 3 passages you have just read in the part of Reading Comprehension. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.76. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. (Passage 1)77. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. (Passage 1)78. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. (Passage 2)79. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. (Passage 2)80. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. (Passage 3)81.使我感到惊奇的是,他的英语说得如此的好。
