Reading comprehension (40 points)Directions: In this section there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1On a practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.21. The first paragraph is mainly about ____A____.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials22. The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ___B_____.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment23. According to the author, a teacher should show a firm mind ___D_____.A) that suffers only from tirednessB) that suffers only from unhappinessC) that suffers only from unusual tiredness or unhappinessD) that is able to control tiredness and unhappiness24. Student Action for Education is ____A____.A) a summer camp for childrenB) an activity at a summer campC) a club for future teachersD) a club for job advisors25. Which of the following does the author suggest to a person who wants to be a teacher? ___C_____.A) Watching teachers at work, or organizing students' spare time activitiesB) Preparing and correcting homework, experimenting with teaching methods and equipmentC) Joining a future teachers' club, talking with job advisors, or working with childrenD) Planning lessons, or attending teachers' meetingsPassage 2There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.26. According to the passage, in most countries ___A______.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular27. According to the passage, there are _____A______.A) restaurants for dogs in every city in FranceB) no dogs or cats that wear clothingC) some people who treat their pets far better than they treat their childrenD) many owners of dogs and cats in the United States and Europe28. For many people, pets may have a more practical function because ____B_____.A) cats and dogs can be used to keep away miceB) pets are often useful companions for old peopleC) pets can sometimes be sold to make moneyD) some pets may show loving feelings for their owners.29. In your opinion, which of the following sentences is probably true? ____D_____.A) Dogs and cats like to wear expensive clothing.B) Many people visit the dog restaurant in France.C) People in every part of the world like to buy fine clothing for their pets.D) In some cases, animals have better food and clothing than people.30. The main idea of this reading passage is: ___C____.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are em ployed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun” break.31. American women left home to work in large numbers because of____D_____.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen32. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___A______.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”33. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have ti me to prepare dinner for the family according to the passage? ___C____.A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.34. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home? ___B___A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.35. What is this passage mainly about? ___C_____.A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Passage 4The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the sun's family.Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.36. The earth is ____A______ in the sun family.A) one of the nine fellow membersB) bigger than two of the other bodiesC) smaller than the other bodiesD) nearer than two fellow members37. These traveling bodies _____D_____.A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sunB) have the same traveling pathsC) have their paths changed a bitD) move along certain paths around the sun38. The gravity of every matter in the universe ____A______.A) worksB) makes it fly off into spaceC) keeps the object travelingD) holds it to the surface39. The pull makes the ball ____A______.A) you throw into the air fall back to the earthB) go up into the skyC) fly around the bodyD) none of the above40. Which of the following is TRUE? ____C______.A) The smaller matters fly off into space.B) We do not notice the pull of the moon.C) The larger the bodies are, the greater their pull is.D) The moon travels around the earth because it's nearer to the earth than the other fellowmembers in the sun's family.Part III.

《大学英语一》试题1答案
《大学英语一》试题1Part I. Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Risk of mad cow disease, and heart disease isn't the only reason to eat less meat: the planet simply cannot sustain a population that increasingly feeds on animal protein (蛋白质), says the U.K. government's Sustainable Development Commission. The problem lies in that animals consume vast supplies of land, crops, water and other resources in order to produce a much smaller quantity of animal protein for human consumption. The fast growing population of animals for use in the human food supply is being described as, "... one of the biggest environmental crises we're now facing."Then, there's the environmental impact of raising so many animals for food in the first place. Thousands of acres of rainforest continue to be cleared in South America in order to convert jungle to grazing land (牧场) for cattle. That alone is alarming, and yet that's only the beginning. Cows, chickens and pigs produce waste on a massive scale, and that waste is often drained directly into rivers or – this is true -- fed back to other animals. Then, there's the use of water. Animals drink enormous quantities of water while they grow. As water becomes increasingly scarce in decades to come, this will become an issue of great contention (争论). So, it seems that from an environmental point of view, responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animal protein.Finally, there's the ethics (行为准则) of eating meat. One of the reasons I don't eat red meat in particular is because red meat comes from intelligent mammals (哺乳动物): cows and pigs. These beings have social structures, they communicate with each other, and they most definitely feel pain. To raise an intelligent animal for no purpose other than to slaughter (屠杀) it and sell its flesh is, in my opinion, evil. The further you go down the scale of intelligence, the less evil this becomes. Killing a chicken and eating it is not so evil, since chickens don't have the intelligence of cows and pigs. Consuming bacteria (in yogurt (乳酸), for example) is not at all evil, since bacteria are not capable of feeling pain, it seems. But pigs? Pigs are as intelligent as dogs. Would you slaughter your pet dog and eat it? If not, then why would you support the slaughter of animals with similar intelligence? And remember: every time you buy bacon or sausage, you are indirectly slaughtering another pig, another intelligent being.What do you think? Do you believe mammals have souls? Do you think cows and pigs are capable of feeling and understanding pain? Does your pet dog understand pain? Can the planet sustain a population that consumes large quantities of animal protein? How could societies shift to plant sources of protein? Give it some thought.1(B). What does the writer mean by saying "The further you go down the scale of intelligence, the less evil this becomes"?A. It is not evil to raise animals for human food.B. Killing low-intelligence animals is less evil than killing high-intelligence animals.C. Responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animal protein.D. Animal intelligence is still an issue of great contention.2. (C)What attitude does the author take towards the consumption of animal protein?A. Optimistic.B. Pessimistic.C. Critical.D. Positive.3. (B)What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The earth will not sustain us if we continue to raise animals.B. Meat consumption is becoming one of the biggest environmental crises.C. Eating meat will do harm to our health.D. Intelligent animals like cows and pigs have feelings and souls.4. (C)What does the author suggest at the end of the passage?A. People should consume more plant protein while reducing animal protein.B. People should care much about animal intelligence.C. The human population should be considerably reduced.D. We should raise cows and pigs just as we raise our dogs.5. (A)Why does the author hold that meat industries are destroying the planet?A. Because animals raised for food consume a vast amount of resources like land, water and so on.B. Because they increase the risk of mad cow disease and heart disease.C. Because killing and eating intelligent animals has destroyed our ethics and souls.D. Because the number of intelligent animals has been greatly reduced.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.In 1978, my wife and I attended the Star Trek conference in Colorado. While in the man’s room at one point during the conference, I was somewhat surprised when George Takei entered. I knew he wasn’t coming in to use the lavatory facilities, since he had them in his hotel room. I quickly figured out that he was “passing through” the restroom on his way to the men’s exercise room, located next door.I casually said, what’s up, George?”He smiled and replied, “Two hours of exercise, every day! You never know when I’ll be called upon for a part that requires strenuous physical activity.” Those of us in the men’s room asked if we could follow him into the exercise room to watch him work out, and he said, “Sure! Then I’ll have someone to talk to!” We trailed him into the room and observed him going through his paces.While he was doing exercises on the various m achines, I pulled out a pack of my cigarettes and politely asked, “Do you mind if I smoke?”Mr. Takei stopped his exercises, stared at me for a second and said, “Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.” I put my pack of cigarettes away.For the next two hours, George Takei appeared to speak only to me, asking me questions about my smoking and explaining that he hated smoking not because smoking was forbidden. It was due to the fact that by the 23rd Century, humans will have learned that smoking accomplishes no good and serves no needs.The words weighed heavily on my mind. For months afterward, I replayed our conversation in my mind and finally came to my senses. Later that year, I began a three-year effort to quit smoking, which was ultimately successful.Three years later, I again saw Mr. Takei at the Star Trek conference in Houston, and was flattered that even though he didn’t remember my name, he did remember our conversation. I happily informed him that I had just completed my second year without cigarettes. He hugged me and congratulated me in front of a roomful of onlookers.George Takei did what no one else probably could do: He got me to quit smoking, and I’ve been free of the habit for almost 21 years. I was just one of his millions of fans, but he cared enough about just one person to go out of his way to try to save a life---my life---and he did.6. (A)Which of the following is NOT true?A. When the author met Mr. Takei again, Mr. Takei still remembered his name.B. When the author saw Mr. Takei again, he had already quit smoking.C. Mr. Takei was happy that the author had given up smoking.D. The author owed his success in quitting smoking to Mr. Takei.7. (D)George Takei is ________.A. a movie starB. a body builderC. a famous politicianD. a well-known sportsman8. (A)When did the author and Mr. Takei meet again?A. In 1981.B. In 1978.C. In 1999.D. In 20039.(D) In the sentence “We … observed him going through his paces” (Line 4, Paragraph 3), “going through his paces”means ________.A. showing his skillsB. walking up and down the roomC. warming up for the exercisesD. doing exercises on the various machines10. (D)Why did George Takei only speak to the author in the exercise room?A. Because they had known each other for a long time.B. Because they had much in common.C. Because George Takei wanted to get him to give up smoking.D. Because George Takei was glad to have him to talk to.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. Y ou might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Y our efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. Y ou may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or businessman who is making and selling something, it’s very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It’s telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.11. (C)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Selling and Buying.B. Everything Y ou Do Is Producing the market.C. What Is the Market?D.

OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage．Most people sometimes feel lonely, but it usually only lasts between minutes and a few hours． This kind of loneliness is not serious ． In fact, it is quite normal ． For some people,thought, loneliness can last for years ．Now researchers say there are three different types ofloneliness．The first kind of loneliness is temporary． This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention．The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation— for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to new place ．Although this kind of loneliness can causephysical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more thana year．The third kind of loneliness is the most severe ．Unlike the second type, chronic ( 习惯性的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause． People who experience habitual loneliness h ave p roblem socializing and becoming close to others． Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they cando to improve their condition ． Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is aperson"s social contacts, e.g．friends, family members, coworkers, etc ．We depend on variouspeople for different reasons．For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parentsand teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities withus． However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many socialcontacts, they sometimes feel they should have more．They question their own popularity ．Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic lonelinessand serious illness such as heart diseases．While temporary and situational loneliness canbe a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimesdangerous, condition ．21． What can we learn from the passage about temporary loneliness?A ．It requires special attention．B．It is very common and usually disappears quickly ．C．It is serious but it usually disappears quickly ．D．It is as serious as chronic loneliness．22． Though lonely people may have many social contacts, ?A ．they want to socialize with more peopleB．they still need others to guide themC．they still others to support them emotionallyD．they want to question their own popularity23． What kind of loneliness can cause serious illness?A ．Temporary lonelinessB．Situational loneliness ．C．Chronic loneliness．D．Short-term loneliness．24． Why do chronically lonely people need help?A ．Because they have difficulty socializing and chronic loneliness can cause serious illness．B．Because chronic loneliness lasts more than two years．C．Because they think there"s little they can do to improve their condition ．D．Because they think they should have more social contacts．25． According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A ．Only a small number of people feel lonely ．B．Like chronic loneliness, situational loneliness can cause physical problems ．C．Chronically lonely people have no difficulty socializing and becoming close to others．D．All kinds of loneliness are very dangerous ．Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage．Studies show that the world in 2010 will be more crowded, more polluted and less stableecologically (在生态方面) than the world we live in now．Visible ahead is serious stress involving population, resources and environment ． Despite greater food output, people in theworld will be poorer in many ways than they are today ．For hundreds of millions of the extremely poor, the outlook for food and other necessities of life will be no better ． For many it will be worse ．While the economies of the developing countries are expected to grow at a faster rate than those of the industrialized nations, the total national product per head in most lessdeveloped countries remains low ．The existing gap between the rich and poor nations willfurther widen ．World food production is estimated to increase by 90 percent from 1970 to 2010 ．Most of that increase goes to the countries that already have relatively higher per-head food consumption ( 消费 )．Meanwhile, per-head consumption of food in the developing countrieswill scarcely improve or will actually fall far below the present inadequate level． What isworse is prices for food are expected to double．As a result, many less developed countries will have increasing difficulties meeting energy needs． For the one quarter of mankind that depends primarily on wood for fuel, theoutlook is not hopeful ．Regional water shortage will become more severe ． In the 1970-2010 period population growth will require twice as much water as it does today in nearly half the world ．Still greaterincreases would be needed to improve standards of living ． Development of new watersupplies will become more costly ．26． According to the passage, in 2010 while output of food will be greater,．A ．people will have sufficient food supplies ．B．The world resources will become more than enoughC．In most developing countries people will have less food than they have todayD．The living standards of the world"s population will improve greatly27． According to the author, in 2010 for many poor people,．A ．things will get even worseB．things will be a little betterC．it will be necessary for them to improve their housingD．it will be impossible to obtain enough necessities of life28． In the 1970-2010 period, the large proportion of global increase of food production goes ．A ．to 90 percentB．to developing countriesC．to any country in the world that needs itD．to those countries that already have high per head consumption29． How does the author predict the development of new water supplies in the future?A ．Water shortage will occur in some regions onlyB．Development of new water supplies will be more expensive ．C．The less developed countries need more water than the developed ones．D．The demand for water will double with the growing population．30． Which of the following may best serve as the title of this passage?A ．the Future problems in the World ．B．Water and Air Pollution ．C．Water and Food ShortagesD．Food Production and ConsumptionPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage．The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1, 1995, aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled．In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world"s most powerful economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund ( 国际货币基金组织 )．The system of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs ( 关税 ) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II ．As time went by, it became clear that the GA TT had two major drawbacks — the limitedareas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes．After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round ( 乌拉圭回合谈判 ) finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property ．Even after seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached problems remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services ．31． What is the purpose of the WTO?A ．To encourage international trade to flow freely ．B．To make sure that trade agreements are respected．C．To settle any disputes．D．All of the above32． According to the passage ,the GATT stopped working_______ ．A ．in 1948B．in 1994C．after World War Ⅱ endedD．during the seven years of the Uruguay Round talk33.The WTO is better than the GATT in that_____ ．A ．it can settle disputes in more areas of international tradeB．it enables its members to sign agreements more easilyC．it deals with problems in agriculture and services more effectivelyD．it pays more attention to service and intellectual property34.The word “ drawbacks ” in Paragraph 4 means ______．A ．Weak pointsB．Strong pointsC．ImprovementsD．Changes35． According to the last two paragraphs ,which of the following statements is true?A ．The WTO is the world"s most powerful economic organizationB．The GATT was founded in Uruguay in 1995C．The WTO has an effective system to settle disputes and to form new rulesD．All the countries in the world are member nations of the

Read the following passages and do the questions below: (30%)Passage OneMr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to ask his doctor. The doctor advises a change of the place where he lives. “Go abroad,”he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,”said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter, said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to become thinner. A void rich food.”Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The teacher made him bend his knees, wave his arms, and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs one after another. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the problems in his business and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice small trees and small birds.Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a business man again, worried about his money, his work, his savings, his raising of level in a technological society, and things in general.1. Mr. Smith went to see his doctor because he ______.A.had little to eatB. was seriously illC.was afraid of sleeping at nightD. didn’t feel well2. The doctor advises Mr. Smith to do all the following except ______.A.talk lessB. change the surroundingsC. eat food of good qualityD. take plenty of exercise3.

In the last paragraph, the word ―temporary‖ means ________ ./doc/b518665766.html,sting for a short timeB. not deepC. unimportantD. developing very slowlyPassage TwoCancer is among the top killer disease in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it out. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do something about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure (休闲) in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations (失意) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them.

I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I’d always wanted to do – become a freelance (自由撰稿人) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before –between 45 and 50 hours a week – but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I worked when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and felt much better. I’ve also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. Forexample, I don’t feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don’t have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there’s enough money until the next arrives.All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll never want to have a ―regular‖ job. But for now, at least, it suits me.11. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer?A. He had always liked writing.B. He was dissatisfied with his company.C. He never liked his job as a manager.D. He wanted to change his lifestyle.12. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author?A. He works fewer hours a week.B. He does not have to work as he likes.C. He can change his schedule as he likes.D. He can work at night and sleep late.13. Why does he do his own cooking now?A. He wants to lose weight.B. He has got lots of free time on his hands.C. He no longer feels tired after work.D. He wants to eat more healthfully.14. What is his chief problem now?A. He can’t count on his paycheck to arrive on time.B. He has no regular work to do.C. He has to find a publisher for his books.D. He has to worry about money.15. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that________.A. he is going to find a regular jobB. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near futureC. he will continue to write for the rest of his lifeD. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him.Passage FourIn the eighteenth century young ladies in Italy were taught reading, writing, music and arithmetic. But their knowledge of history and geography was very poor.Once the French ambassador in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of foreign Affairs came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.―Y ou see,: said the Minister, ―th ere has been a little accident at the King’s palace.‖The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the King’s palace.―Oh, nothing important,‖ answered the Minister. ―The ambassador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them.‖―Is Brazil so far from Rome?‖ asked the lady, who knew very little geography.―It is in the New World.‖ S aid the Minister.―In the New World?‖ repeated the lady in great astonishment.―Y es, in the New world.‖ Answered the Minister in a sarcastic tone, ―which was discovered by Christopher Columbus.‖When the young lady heard this, she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:―Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just beendiscovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.‖16.

My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong advice against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father’s ship, and he invited me to go with him, and without telling my father, I went on board.On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked (失事)，and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed ( 被颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we launched (使…下水) a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞) against a rock with such force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and,running forward, go to the mainland safely.21. What did the author want to do most when he was young?A. To visit Africa.B. To sail the seas.C. To practice law.D. To make a tour of London.22. Why did the author go on foot to London?A. The ship he took was destroyed in a storm.B. His father did not supply the fare for the journey.C. He went again st his father’s strong advice not to do so.D. His school fellow invited him to go together23. Why did they launch a boat?A. They knew they were near the shore.B. The big waves were about to overturn the ship.C. Their ship had been knocked about for many days on the sea.D. their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces.24. When the author got to the mainland, he _______.A. searched everywhere for his lost companionsB. fell down on the ground senselessC. was safe and soundD. ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea.25. When the author finally arrived on land, he most probably ______.A. knew he was in Africa` B. did not know where he wasC. was not aware he was back in EnglandD. got in touch with his family and asked for helpPassage SixTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the Western world, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road or a ribbon stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate—―one thing at a time‖. Thus an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of theSouth Asians’,which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time: ―Time is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. The Gods is in charge of the museum, and only. He knows all that is in it.‖Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each othera little better if we can keep this fact in mind.26. This passage is mainly about ______.A.the American idea of timeB.the South Asian idea of timeC.the importance of keeping appointmentsD.the communication between different culture27. According to this passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory must be veryimportant because ______.A.it interrupts the work of all employeesB.it is made by the managerC.it makes everyone lose his jobD.it communicates in many ways28. In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00 p.m. is considered ______ , in the view ofthe writer.A.more important than one made during the dayB.impolite since it disturbs the receiver’s sleepC.to be a threat to the receiver’s lifeD.even more urgent than one made early in the morning29. The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each other better if______.A.they know how to communicate with each otherB.they are concerned with the futureC.they learn the way time communicatesD.they bear in mind that different cultures treat time differently30. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The American idea of the future is quite different from that of the South Asian’.B.The South Asian regards time as something controlled by God.C.Americans are not concerned with the idea of the future which is limited.D.The South Asian idea of the future may go beyond one’s lifetime.VI.
