二、阅读理解

Passage 1

A four-year study conducted by the Infant Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.

The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably

the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.

（）16、What would be a good title for the passage?

A.How to Test Infants

B.Parents and children

C.Day Care for Babies

D.Choosing a Babysitter

（）17、 A baby is likely to feel more at ease with ________.

children

（）18、What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?

A.He recommends babysitters

B.He writes baby books

C.He conducts studies on infants

D.He directs a testing center

（）19、According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?

A.Find a private home with other babies

B.Take their babies with them to work

C.Hire an adult to come into the home

D.Search for a large nursery with a good reputation

（）20、The author is talking to __________.

A.babies under three

B.researcher on infants

C.pediatricians(儿科医生)

D.working parents

Passage 2

(1)If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. (2)Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next understanding. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isn't defeat that makes you fail, it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.

Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every one who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling (强烈)desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will grasp it more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended (悬挂，依托). It is this reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.

（）21、What is the passage mainly about?

A. Defeats are part of everybody's life.

B. The difference between defeat and failure.

C. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.

D. Defeat is likely to help one to gain success.

（）22、The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely _______.

A. to achieve success

B. to accept it peacefully

C. to feel ashamed of it

D. to act like a baby

（）23、The author advises you _____.

A. to confuse defeat with failure

B. not to mix up defeat and failure

C. to regard defeat as a dead loss

D. to cling (粘附) to defeat tightly

（）24、Defeat is valuable ________.

A. because it tells you why you fail

B. because it forces you to face it without humiliation

C. in that it provides the guide and encouragement to success

D. because it can cure its own cause

（）25、Why does the author advise you to do with the power defeat gives?

A. To analyze it

B. To accomplish what you are not capable of

C. To explain it

D. To make good use of it

Passage 3

The predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.

A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory called "risk homeostasis". According to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger.

In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn't simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions … eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 persons personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.

（）26、What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why .

A. the mortality rate can not be predicted

B. the death toll remained stable year after year

C. a quota for each type of death has not come into being

D. people lost their lives every year for this or that reason

（）27、In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards .

A .have helped solve the problem of so high death rate

B. have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past century

C. have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths

D. have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths

（）28、According to the theory of "risk homeostasis", some traffic accidents result from .

A. our innate desire for risk

B. our fast and reckless driving

C. our ignorance of seat belt benefits

D. our instinctive interest in speeding

（）29、By saying "…statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers" (Para. 2),the author means .

A. wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point

of view

B. deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing them

C. deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat

belts

D. earing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic

accidents

（）30、Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?

A. Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of others

B. Eating the food low in fat and driving with great care

C. Cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heart

Passage 2

To most Africans,tribalism simply me ans very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group.It is a force that can be both good and bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to manager—within a very short time.

Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it

remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As evidence of tribalism,i n 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.

Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other "at arm s length",people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.

When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a "poker face", whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn't look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives-or assume that he doesn't like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring-especially at strangers-to be rude.

（）26、What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about .

A. classification of nonverbal communication

二、阅读理解

Passage 1

The concept of culture has been defined many times, and although no definition has achieved universal acceptance, most of the definitions include three central ideas: that culture is passed n from generation to generation, that a culture represents a ready-made prescription for living and for making day-to-day decisions, and, finally, that the

components of a culture are accepted by those in the culture as good, and true, and not to be questioned. The eminent anthropologist George Murdock has listed seventy-three items that characterize every known culture, past and present. The list begins with Age-grading and Athletic sports, runs to Weaning and Weather Control, and includes on the way such items as Calendar, Firemaking, Property Rights, and Toolmaking. I would submit that even the most extreme advocate of a culture of poverty viewpoint would readily acknowledge that, with respect to almost all of these items, every American, beyond the

first generation immigrant, regardless of race or class, is a member of a common culture. We all share pretty much the same sports.

Maybe poor kids don''t know how to play polo, and rich kids don''t spend time with stickball, but we all know baseball, and football,

and basketball. Despite some misguided efforts to raise minor dialects to the status of separate tongues, we all, in fact, share the same language. There may be differences in diction and usage, but it

would be ridiculous to say that all Americans don''t speak English. We have the calendar, the law, and large numbers of other cultural items in common. It may well be true that on a few of the

seventy-three items there are minor variations between classes, but these kinds of things are really slight variations on a common theme. There are other items that show variability, not in relation to class, but in relation to religion and ethnic background-funeral customs and cooking, for example. But if there is one place in America where the melting pot is a reality, it is on the kitchen stove; in the course of one month, half the readers of this

sentence have probably eaten pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein. Specific differences that might be identified a signs of separate cultural identity are relatively insignificant within the general unity of American life; they are cultural commas and semicolons in the paragraphs and pages of American life.

（）16、According to the author''s definition of culture, ____ .

A. a culture should be accepted and maintained universally

B. a culture should be free from falsehood and evils

C. the items of a culture should be taken for granted by people

D. the items of a culture should be accepted by well-educated people （）17、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Baseball, football and basketball are popular sports in America.

B. Pizza, hot pastrami, and chow mein are popular diet in America.

C. There is no variation in using the American calendar.

D. There is no variation in using the American language.

（）18、It can be inferred that all the following will most probably be included in the seventy-three items except ____.

A. heir and heritage

B. childrearing practices

C. dream patterns

D. table manners

（）19、By saying that ""they are cultural commas and semicolons..."" the author means that commas and semicolons ____.

A. can be interpreted as subculture of American life

B. can be identified as various ways of American life

C. stand for work and rest in American life

D. are preferred in writing the stories concerning American life

（）20、The author''s main purpose in writing this passage is to

____.

A. prove that different people have different definitions of culture

B. inform that variations exist as far as a culture is concerned

C. indicate that culture is closely connected with social classes

D. show that the idea that the poor constitute a separate culture

is an absurdity

Passage 2

It is 3A.M. Everything on the university campus seems ghostlike in

the quiet, misty darkness - everything except the computer center. Here, twenty students rumpled and bleary-eyed, sit transfixed at their consoles, tapping away on the terminal keys. With eyes glued to the video screen, they tap on for hours. For the rest of the world, it might be the middle of the night, but here time does not exist.

This is a world unto itself. These young computer ""hackers"" are pursuing a kind of compulsion, a drive so consuming it overshadows nearly every other part of their lives and forms the focal point of their existence. They are compulsive computer programmers. Some of

these students have been at the console for thirty hours or more without a break for meals or sleep. Some have fallen asleep on

sofas and lounge chairs in the computer center, trying to catch a

few winks but loathe to get too far away from their beloved machines.

Most of these students don''t have to be at the computer center in the middle of the night. They aren''t working on assignments. They

are there because they want to be - they are irresistibly drawn there.

And they are not alone. There are hackers at computer centers all across the country. In their extreme form, they focus on nothing else. They flunk out of school and lose contact with friends; they might have difficulty finding jobs, choosing instead to wander from

one computer center to another. They may even forgo personal hygiene. "I remember one hacker. We literally had to carry him off his chair to feed him and put him to sleep. We really feared for his health," says a computer science professor at MIT.

Computer science teachers are now more aware of the implications of this hacker phenomenon and are on the lookout for potential hackers and cases of computer addiction that are already severe. They know

that the case of the hackers is not just the story of one

person''s relationship with a machine. It is the story of a

society''s relationship to the so-called thinking machines, which are becoming almost ubiquitous.

（）21、We can learn from the passage that those at the computer center in the middle of the night are ____.

A. students working on a program

B. students using computers to amuse themselves

C. hard-working computer science majors

D. students deeply fascinated by the computer

（）22、Which of the following is NOT true of those young computer "hackers"?

A. Most of them are top students majoring in computer programming.

B. For them, computer programming is the sole purpose for their life.

C. They can stay with the computer at the center for nearly three days on end.

D. Their ""love"" for the computer is so deep that they want to be near their machines even when they sleep.

（）23、It can be reasonably inferred from the passage that ____. A. the ""hacker"" phenomenon exists only at university computer

centers

B. university computer centers are open to almost everyone

C. university computer centers are expecting outstanding programmers

out of the ""hackers""

D. the ""hacker"" phenomenon is partly attributable to the deficiency

of the computer centers

（）24、The author''s attitude towards the ""hacker"" phenomenon can be described as ____.

A. affirmative

B. contemptuous

C. anxious

D. disgusted

（）25、Which of the following may be a most appropriate title for the passage?

A. The Charm of Computer Science

B. A New Type of Electronic Toys

C. Compulsive Computer Programmers

D. Computer Addicts

Passage 3

Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied

great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty

familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the

popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body

of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and

political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are

coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined

to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associated freely with his fellow-creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called ""popular science"" makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it - as in the case of the

Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is

always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.

（）26、Special words used in technical discussion ____.

A. never last long

B. are considered artificial language speech

C. should be confined to scientific fields

D. may become part of common speech

（）27、It is true that ____.

A. an educated person would be expected to know most technical terms

B. everyone is interested in scientific findings

C. the average man often uses in his own vocabulary what was once technical language not meant for him

D. various professions and occupations often interchange their dialects and jargons

（）28、In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology of

A. farming

B. sports

C. government

D. fishery

（）29、The writer of the article was, no doubt ____.

A. a linguist

B. an essayist

C. a scientist

D. an attorney

（）30、The author''s main purpose in the passage is to ____.

A. describe a phenomenon

B. be entertaining

C. argue a belief

D. propose a solution

PART ONE

Part I. Reading comprehension:

Passage One

A four-year study conducted by the Infant Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.

The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.

1.What would be a good title for the passage?

A.How to Test Infants

B.Parents and children

C.Day Care for Babies

D.Choosing a Babysitter

2. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with ________.

A.a housekeeper B an infant C an adult stranger D teenage

Passage Two

(1)If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. (2)Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next understanding. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isn't defeat that makes you fail, it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.

Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every one who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such a compelling (强烈)desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will grasp it more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended (悬挂，依托). It is this reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.

A. Defeats are part of everybody's life.

B. The difference between defeat and failure.

C. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.

B. not to mix up defeat and failure

A. because it tells you why you fail

B. because it forces you to face it without humiliation

C. in that it provides the guide and encouragement to success

B. To accomplish what you are not capable of

Passage 1

While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500.“Send the money by telegram,”he wrote,“to the Fisher Bank in P…” After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank.He showed his passport.“Nothing has come for you,”he was told.This went on for two weeks and Mr.Frank got very worried.He sent a telegram to his brother,asking where the money was.There was no reply,and no money arrived for him.

In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.His passport was taken from him.He tried to explain the problem,but no one believed him.He was sent to prison for six days. When he came out,he went immediately to the Fisher bank.The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me?”he ask,“My name is Jackson Frank.” The clerk checked his books.“Yes,Jackson,it’s here.It came by telegram.—let me see—oh,more than two months ago.We wondered where you were.”He showed Mr.Frank the order. The order read:“Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500...”“But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank Jackson.” “Oh,that’s all right,sir.It was in our books under the letter‘J’,but it’s your money.”The clerk laughed,“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?And so we all make mistakes.A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.” Mr Frank was silent.He really wanted to hit somebody.At last he said,“A human mistake——is that what you call it?I think some humans need kicking.”

Passage 2

To most Africans,tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethni c group.It is a force that can be both good and bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to manager—within a very short time.

Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As evidence of tribalism,in 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo Kenyatt a’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.

40.What is the definition of tribalism?

A.Sharing among members of the extended family.

B.Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.

C.A force that can be both good and bad.

D.People have the same religious belief.

B.A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.

C.Africans consider it an obligation to give a job to a fellow tribesman.

D.Tribalism is still a powerful force in day-to-day African life.

Passage3

When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at,for,however far-fetched and unreasonable their contents may seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.With regard to Futurist poetry,however,the case is rather difficult,for whatever Futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as Literature.

This,in brief,is what the Futurist says for a century,past conditions of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.This speeding up of life,says the Futurist,requires a new form

of expressions.We must speed up our literature too,if we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them;we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten or lengthen words at will.

Certainly their descriptions of battles are vividly chaotic.But it is a little disconcerting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river——and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling are the weights of the officers.“Pluff!Pulff!A hundred and eighty five kilograms.”This,though it ful fills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry can hardly be classed as Literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole question is really this:how we essentially changed?

45.The main idea of this selections is best expressed as ____.

A.The Past versus the future

B.Changes in modern Life

C.Merits of the Futurist movement

D.An evaluation of Futurist poetry

46.When novel ideas appear,it is desirable,according to the writer,to ____.

A.discover the aims of their adherents

B.ignore them

C.follow the fashion

D.regard them as normal

47.The Futurists claim that we must ____.

A.increase the production of literature

B.look to the future

C.develop new literary forms

D.avoid unusual words

48.The writer believes that Futurist poetry is ____.

A.too emotional

B.too new in type to be acceptable

C.not literature as he knows it

D.essential to basic change in the nature mankind

49.The futurist poet uses all the following devices EXCEPT____.

A.imitative words

B.qualifying adjectives

C.different colored inks

D.a stream of essential words

My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,”he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,”she answered. “The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!” “ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----” “ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,”he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well-----”The woman looked at the child. “I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.” “A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s
