There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “It can help save on the wear and tear on our system”, says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of some thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t w ait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” saysDr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time”. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person s perspective(视角). Y ou may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear—even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.41. The passage is mainly written to explain _______.A) how to keep yourself from being hurtB) how to stay mentally healthyC) how and when to remain calmD) why and how to pardon others42. Research has shown that forgiveness allows people___________.A) feel more energeticB) enjoy more foodC) seep in better waysD) all of the above43. According to the passage, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A) Try to figure out why you get hurt.B) Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C) Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.D) Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.44. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.A) we are not patient enoughB) people seldom want to apologizeC) we’d feel worse accepting others’ apologyD) people don’t mean it when they apologizePassage TwoQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passages.Your beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life. In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with. and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis. Set small, achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then, in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.45. In the author’s opinion, your life depends on________.A) your environment where you live B) your experiencesC) your knowledge and opportunities D) your beliefs46. Which is the following statement is true?A) Y ou should try your best to help your negative people around you.B) Y ou should try to achieve small success to believe in success first.C) The more knowledge you learn, the more you will control you life.D) Y ou should stick to your own beliefs without changing.47. According to the passage, what is the most important about your beliefs?A) to imagine your success with your sensesB) to make efforts to achieve themC) to learn as much knowledge as possibleD) to try to experience success regularly48. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(①---⑤stand for “ paragraph 1 --- paragraph 5” )A) ①——②——③④——⑤B) ①——②③——④——⑤C) ①——②③④——⑤D) ①——②③④⑤Passage ThreeQuestions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. If this action does not work, there are various means that may used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this can not be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong，rather than by making general statements.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint d oesn’t achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.49. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to________.A) threaten to take the matter to courtB) show some written proof of the purchase to the storeC) complain personally to the managerD) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase50. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it's better to complain to ________.A) the store manager B) a shop assistantC) the manufacturer D) a public organization51. Suppose a customer finds a fault in his taper recorder, what would he say to the store manager?A) This taper recorder doesn’t work.B) The taper recorder is not so good as before.C) The sound coming out of the right speaker is unclear.D) This is the warranty, you must change a new one for me.52. The most effective complaint can be made by ________.A) saying firmly that the item is of poor qualityB) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerC) asking politely to change the itemD) explaining exactly what is wrong with the item53. The passage tells us how to _________.A) avoid buying a faulty itemB) deal with complaints from customersC) make an effective complaint about a faulty itemD) settle a consumer's complaint about a faulty item Section B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following business letter.

People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. Butpeople used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were convenient to carry around if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The First paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.36. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.37. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.B. In China.C. In Africa.D. We don’t know.38. Why according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to string them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nice.D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.39. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A. Because they are easy to steal.B. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C. Because they are not easy to carry around.D. Because they themselves are expensive, too.40. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A. Money and Its UsesB. Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD. The History of MoneyTask 2You got red with anger, green with envy, and white with fright. If you’re unhappy you’re blue, and if you’re a coward (胆小鬼), you’re yellow. Whatever your feelings are you can find a color to describe them.But colors not only describe feelings, they can also have a strong effect upon us. Everybody has noticed how you feel colder in a blue room than a red room even though the rooms are the same temperature. So colors can affect our moods.And it is also possible that our own choice of a favorite colorcan tell us something about ourselves. If green is your favorite color, you are strong-minded and determined. You do not wish to change, but you certainly wish to succeed and what’s more, you want other people to see you are successful. Red makes bulls charge and makes your blood pressure go up. You are fiercely competitive, very strong-minded and full of energy. If you choose blue, the color of calm seas and clear skies, you like peace and quiet and like to feel you belong to a group of trusted friends. Purple is a mixture of red and blue, and is a compromise between peaceful blue and aggressive red. You are romantic and tender and wish to charm and please others.41. If you are overcome with fear, __.A. you are redB. you are yellowC. you are blackD. you are green42. According to the second paragraph, when you feel very hot, __.A. you’d better look at the sea of the blue skyB. yous hould not weaer black dressC. you’d better drink some waterD. you should not become angry43. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?A. Colors can describe our feelings.B. Colors can affect our moods.C. People will surely know what you are going to do by the color you choose.D. People will probably know something about you by the color you choose.44. If you are strong-minded, __.A. either green or red is your favorite colorB. either green or blue is your favorite colorC. both red and blue are your favorite colorD. neither green nor the blue is your favorite color45. The title of the passage may probably be __.A. Your FavoriteColorsB. Your Like and Dislike of ColorsC. Colors and YouD. Choose a Color for YouTask 3There are stock markets (股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich.Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All ar e eager to make money by “gambling’ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need moneyare pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.46.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D).You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.It is known to us that English is not as old as Chinese, but it is widely used by most people all over the world. English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.36. According to the text, English is _______.A) older than Chinese B) as old as ChineseC) not so old as Chinese D) very hard to learn37.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.41. The passage really wants to tell us that ________.A) what the meaning of “patriots” is B) the qualities a good youth should haveC) a youth should be doing good D) one should help others42. The first thing a good youth should have isA) the best looking B)the best riches C) the good ability D)a healthy body43. A good youth should help othersA) willingly B) at his convenience C) if he wants to D) with complains44. From the passage, we can know that cooperation and communication areA) good for some introverts B) helpful to usC) important to everyone D) not necessary to good friends45. In the author's opinion, the patriots mustA) fight for the country B) learn everythingC) do what their country need them to do D)protect their family and countryTask 3Directions: The following is an advertisement.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements or questions, numbered 36 through 40. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away form the starter, you can see the smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your eyes.This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 20 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “ The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shinning four years ago but their light has only just reached the earth.”36. The speed of sound is ____ that of light.A. the same asB. much slower thanC. about a million times slower thanD. no more faster than37.

For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.No one doubts the importance of water. Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. In short, no water, no life. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world.China is one of the countries in the world who is badly short of water. Its water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem has become even worse. As industry has developed, large quantities of water have been or are being consumed or polluted. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. The most serious problem China is facing is water pollution. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the seas or oceans. When dry weather comes, the water problem will go from bad to worse.In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from being polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Man should reasonably explore water and make good use of it. Otherwise man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life. To protect our environment is to protect ourselves.41. What is the main idea of the passage?A. China is one of countries in great need of water.B. How to treasure waterC. Water is importantD. Why is water polluted42. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone doubts the importance of water.B. While agriculture has developed, large quantities of water have been polluted.C. All resources in the world are inexhaustible.D. To protect our environment is to protect human beings.43. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “acute” in line 2 Para. 2?A. crucialB. sensitiveC. penetratingD. sharp44. The tone of the passage can be best described as ____.A. indifferentB. negativeC. objectiveD. optimistic45. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. The water problem in big cities has become even worse in China in recent years.B. The water problem will go from bad to worse in dry weather.C. Man should bear right attitude to water.D. Water will be exhausted in 30 years.Task 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements or questions, numbered 46 through 50. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting-room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering(忽隐忽现) pictures, that it begins to dominate our lives.There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programmers is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt (使变坏) or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determine its value to society.46. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?A. Viewers can enjoy plays, films, operas and shows of every kind.B. Viewers can enjoy political discussions.C. Viewers can see the latest exciting soccer match.D. Viewers can play games.47. Which of the following can best describe the view of the author?A Television has not only advantages but also disadvantages.B The advantages of television outweigh its disadvantage.C Television has neither advantages nor disadvantages.D It is not clearly seen in the passage.48. According to the author, why do people prefer to stay home watching TV rather than go to cinemas?A. It is more convenient.B. It is cheaperC. It is safe.D. It is more convenient and cheaper.49. The word “ outweigh” in Para.1 most likely means ____.A. estimateB. evaluateC. exceedD. express50. The author thinks that ____.A. Television itself is good in our life.B. Television itself is bad in our life.C. Television itself is neither good nor badD. Television itself is either good or bad.试卷二Part III Reading Comprehension 2 5 points, one point for eachTask 4Directions: There are two Business Letters below here.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 unfinished statements or questions, numbered 36 through 40. For each statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Light travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000km, but sound travels only 344m. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away form the starter, you can see the smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your eyes.This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 20 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born. Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “ The stars are shinning tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. They were shinning four years ago but their light has only just reached the earth.”36. The speed of sound is ____ that of light.A. the same asB. much slower thanC. about a million times slower thanD. no more faster than37. Sound travels only ____ in one second.A. 344kmB. 344mC. 300,000mD. 300,000km38. If you watch a race from a distance, you will ____.A. hear the gun shot before you see the smokeB. hear the gun shot before the man fires itC. see the smoke before you hear the gunshotD. hear the gunshot and see the smoke at the same time39. Light travels about ____ km per minute.A. 180,000,000B. 3,000,000C. 300,000D. 18,000,00040.The light of the nearest star we see tonight left it ____.A. a little while agoB. before you were bornC. after you were bornD. four years agoTask 2No one doubts the importance of water. Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. In short, no water, no life. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world. China is one of the countries in the world who is badly short of water. Its water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem has become even worse. As industry has developed, large quantities of water have been or are being consumed or polluted. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. The most serious problem China is facing is water pollution. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the seas or oceans. When dry weather comes, the water problem will go from bad to worse.In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from being polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Man should reasonably explore water and make good use of it. Otherwise man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life. To protect our environment is to protect ourselves.41. What is the main idea of the passage?A. China is one of countries in great need of water.B. How to treasure waterC. Water is importantD. Why is water polluted42. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone doubts the importance of water.B. While agriculture has developed, large quantities of water have been polluted.C. All resources in the world are inexhaustible.D. To protect our environment is to protect human beings.43. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “acute” in line 2 Para. 2?A. crucialB. sensitiveC. penetratingD. sharp44. The tone of the passage can be best described as ____.A. indifferentB. negativeC. objectiveD. optimistic45. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. The water problem in big cities has become even worse in China in recent years.B. The water problem will go from bad to worse in dry weather.C. Man should bear right attitude to water.D. Water will be exhausted in 30 years.Task 3Television is now playing a very important part in our lives. But television, like other things, has both advantages and disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. They do not have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to discover, perhaps, that the show is disappointing. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting-room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service just as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at it, so dependent on its flickering(忽隐忽现) pictures,that it begins to dominate our lives.There are many other arguments for and against television. The poor quality of its programmers is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt (使变坏) or instruct our children? I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that determine its value to society.46. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?A. Viewers can enjoy plays, films, operas and shows of every kind.B. Viewers can enjoy political discussions.C. Viewers can see the latest exciting soccer match.D. Viewers can play games.47. Which of the following can best describe the view of the author?A Television has not only advantages but also disadvantages.B The advantages of television outweigh its disadvantage.C Television has neither advantages nor disadvantages.D It is not clearly seen in the passage.48. According to the author, why do people prefer to stay home watching TV rather than go to cinemas?A. It is more convenient.B. It is cheaperC. It is safe.D. It is more convenient and cheaper.49. The word “ outweigh” in Para.1 most likely means ____.A. estimateB. evaluateC. exceedD. express50. The author thinks that ____.A. Television itself is good in our life.B. Television itself is bad in our life.C. Television itself is neither good nor badD. Television itself is either good or bad.试卷⼆Part III Reading Comprehension 2 5 points, one point for eachTask 4Directions: There are two Business Letters below here.

In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are a loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with and get around positive, successful people.Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis. Set small achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing (设想) goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.41. In the author’s opinion, your life depends on .A) your beliefs B) your environment where you liveC) your experience D) your knowledge and opportunities42. Which of the following statement is true?A) You should stick to your own beliefs without changingB) You should try your best to help your negative people around you.C) You should try to achieve small success to believe in success first.D) The more knowledge you learn, the more you will control your life.43. According to the passage, what is the most important about your beliefs?A) To make efforts to achieve them.B) To imagine your success with your senses.C) To try to experience success regularly.D) To learn as much knowledge as possible.44. A) Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?(①----⑤stand for ―Paragraph 1 ----Paragraph 5‖)A) B) C) D)①①①①↙↘↙↓↘／∣∣＼↙∣②③②③④↙↓↓↘②∣↘↙↘↓↙②③④⑤↓↓④⑤③④↓↘↙⑤⑤Passage TwoQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.When someone has deeply heart you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible – and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. ―It can help save on the wear and tear on our system,‖ says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for apology. ―Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.‖ says Dr. Luskin. ―They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you want people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.‖ Keep in mind that forgiveness does necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance(无知), fear— even love. To perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.45. The test is mainly written to explain .A）how and when to remain calmB) how to stay mentally healthyC) why and how to pardon othersD) how to keep yourself from being hurt46. Research has shown that forgiveness allows people to .A) feel more energeticB) enjoy more foodC) sleep in better waysD) all of the above47. According to the passage, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A) Try to figure out why you get hurt.B) Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.C) Write a letter to the person who hurt you.D) Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.48. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because .A) we are not patient enoughB) people don’t mean it when they apologize.C) people seldom want to apologizeD) we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology.Passage ThreeQuestions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单)，or any other helpful record at the store purchase. If this action does not work, there are various means that may be used to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the ―higher up‖ the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is uaually settled in the consumer’s favor, if he has a just claim.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when theconsumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer’s rights.49. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to.A) threaten to take the matter to courtB) complain personal to the managerC) show some written proof of the purchase to the storeD) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase50. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it is better to complain to .A) the manufacturer B) the store managerC) a shop assistant D) a public organization51. Suppose a consumer finds fault in his tape recorder, what should he say to the store manager?A) The tape recorder is not so good as beforeB) The sound coming out of the right speaker is unclear.C) This is the warranty, you must change a new one for me.D) This tape recorder doesn’t work..52. The most effective complaint can be made by .A) asking politely to change the itemB) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerC) explaining exactly what is wrong with the itemD) saying firmly that the item is of poor quality53. The passage tells us how to .A) make an effective complaint about a faulty itemB) avoid buying a faulty itemC) deal with complaints from customers.D) settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)March 1st, 2011Dear Mr. Doe,Thank you for coming in for an interview last Friday.
