GoodbyePart II Reading Comprehension (40points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age,the ability to adapt to wide-ranging comfort zones becomes moredifficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated withdaydreaming and then they work their way into reality.The moreclearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more realthe pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once oursubconscious accepts this image and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that thesethings are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the changeE卷第 3 页共 13 页mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management andworkers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too.Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.16.As one grows older, ______.A. one’s comfort zone becomes narrowerB. one finds comfort zone more easilyC. one becomes more sympatheticD. one behaves better in social gathering17. What does “be discontent with our current comfort zone” (Para.3) mean?A. Be prepared to realize our dreams.B. Keep dreaming of unrealistic goals.C. Picture our dreams clearly and vividly.D.

By seeking a better comfort zone, people aim to ______.A. make greater achievingB. make more moneyC. be more influentialD. gain greater powerPassage TwoEntire cultures operate on elaborate systems of indirectness. For example, I discovered in a small research project that most Greeks assumed that a wife who asked , “Would you like to go to the party?” was hinting that she wanted to go. They felt that she wouldn’t bring it up if shedidn’t want to go. Furthermore, they felt, she would not state her preference directly because that would sound like a demand. Indirectness was the appropriate means for communicating herE卷第 4 页共 13 页preference.Japanese culture has developed indirectness to a fine art. For example, a Japanese professor, Harumi Befu, explains the delicate exchange of indirectness required by a simple invitation to lunch. When his friend extended the invitation, Befu first had to determine whetherit was meant literally or just a ritual, much as an American might say, “We’ll have to have you over for dinnersome time” but would not expect you to turn up at the door. Having decided the invitation was meant literally and having accepted, Befu was then asked what she would like to eat. Following custom, he said anything would do, but his friend, also following custom, pressed him to specify. Host and guest repeated this exchange an appropriate number of times, until Befu thought it polite to answer the question --- polite --- by saying that tea over rice would be fine. When he arrived for lunch, he was indeed served tea over rice --- as the last course of a luxurious meal. Befu was not surprised by the feast, because he knew that custom required it. Had he been given what he askedfor, he would have been insulted. But custom also required that he make a great show of being surprised.21. According to Paragraph 1, Greeks believe that women ______.A. Would like to give demandsB. Use more questions than statementsC. Carefully weave their wishes into questionsD. Are afraid of expressing personal opinions22. On receiving a lunch invitation, Befu first has to ______.A. decide whether to accept it or notB. figure out what he would like to eatC. pretend to show great surpriseD. judge whether the invitation is serious23. Why would Befu ask for tea over rice?A. To be polite by making things easy.B. It is his favorite.C. To avoid being insulted.D. To end the conversation quickly.24. Which of the following statements is true?A. Befu was served exactly what he had asked for.B. It would be impolite to serve a simple lunch.C. Befu was surprised by the last course for lunch.D. Befu acted like he enjoyed his meal a lot.25. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Greeks and Japanese are well known for being indirect.B. Indirectness is evident in many cultures.C. Meals reveal a lot about a particular culture.D. People sometimes tell lies with good intention.E卷第 5 页共 13 页Passage ThreeIn western culture, an engagement begins with “yes” to a simple question: “Will you marry me?” These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu.The couple took a helicopter tourover the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw"Will you marry me Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!"Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help fr om a professional.But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to givetheir future brides Public proposals-- at sports games, concerts and other events --are common. But some men don’t settlefor their proposal scrolling(滚动) across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O’Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O’Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s unique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example, programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. but that’s not the point:Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.26. What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.27. Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn’t speak out the proposal.B. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Firestone’s proposal was inexpensive.28. What does “to brag about” (Para.3) probably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.29. Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?E卷第 6 页共 13 页A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’s.D. Peng’s.30. What is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal me n’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage FourA British teenager has become a multi-millionair after selling an application software hecreated to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo’s future mobile projects. Nick D’Aloisio, 17, started hisSummly app(应用软件) when he was just 15.

Yahoo’s boss of mobile contentdevelopment Adam Cahan said: “It started with an insight that welive in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance.”Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old.
