Passage one

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush .City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to \"push back\discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question , choose a friendly looking person and say,\" I am a stranger here. Can you help me?\"

Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

1. Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______. A America is a highly developed country

B American city people seem to be always in a rush

C the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble D Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

2. When the author says \" You will miss smile \ A you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy B you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you C you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly

D you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor 3. In the author's opinion, ___________.

A it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city B people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable

C most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities D hose who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly

4. The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris ___________. A to show that city people all over the world have a lot in common

B to let his readers be aware that they are some of the world's biggest cities C to illustrate their difference from American cities

D because they are some of the cities that attract visitors most

5. If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably be will _________. A offer his help B stop smiling at you

Passage 2

Around the world two thirds of the people are farmers, Most of them engage in subsistence farming. This means that they raise plants and animals to furnish their families with food and other supplies. They consume their varied output and have little to sell or to trade for other goods. Subsistence farms were common in the United States at one time, but there are few such farms today. Two thirds of American farmers practice commercial farming. Commercial farms produce about 97 per cent of the country‟s agricultural goods. These farms are operated much like other industries. The members of the farm family produce the commodities(商品) that will be sent to the market. They sell their products and buy the things they need.

Some commercial farms are big factories in the field. They may be owned by a company or by an individual as an investment. Most American farms, however, are still operated by families. A farmer may own or rent his land.

In a country as large as the United States, farms vary widely in climate, land surface, soil, water supply, convenience to market, and other characteristics. Different regions may have different kinds of specialized farms. Specialized farmers concentrate on the kind of farming best suited to the land and climate, to their technical skills, and to the money they invest in the farm.

However, no region is limited to a single type of farm. Indeed few farms are limited to one crop or commodity. Where output is varied and no one kind of crop or commodity produces more than half of a farm‟s income, it is classified as a general farm. The general farmer grows varied crops to use the different kinds of soils or surfaces on his land and to employ his time and machinery most efficiently.

6．Subsistence farmers______

A grow crops for their families' own use B sell a lot of their products for money C trade their varied output for other goods

D use their agricultural products as commodities 7．Subsistence farms______.

A are very popular in the United States now B are still common in many parts of the world

C consist of two thirds of the total number of the farms in the world today D used to be the major form of farming in the world 8．American commercial farms______.

A furnish the country with two thirds of the food its people need B are run in much the same way as other industries C are all owned by different companies D never rent their land for farming

9．A specialized farm is characterized by ______. A its especially large size

B its independence of the market

C its concentration on a single type of farming D its special way of operation

10．A farm is classified as general if ______.

A more than half of its income comes from varied crops B it is limited to a single type of farm C it employs different kinds of machines

D the soils or surfaces of its land are used most efficiently

Passage 3

Everyone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.

The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their cars.

Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurant serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes), shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drinks, and coffee.

Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company‟ s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.

Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.

Is the food at fast-food restaurants food for you？ In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.

One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.

11. In a fast-food restaurant, people ________.

A stand up to eat B are served at table C eat in a hurry D serve themselves

12. Usually fast food is rich in ________.

A sugar and milk B salt and fat

C meat and salt D beef and fish 13. Fast-food restaurants are popular because ________. A people are free to order their food B the quality of the food is good

C it is cheaper and faster to have meals there

D people can find fast food restaurants everywhere 14. Which of the following sentences is not correct?

A The service is fast and the food is cheap in fast-food restaurants. B More people like eating fast food.

C People can find the same food in all the restaurants. D People can take fast food out. 15. What‟ s the main idea of the passage?

A Americans eat enough hamburgers to make a line abound the world four times. B Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States. C Some people can eat fast food in parks.

D Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-food restaurants.

Passage 4

No one knows for sure why birds migrate(定期迁徙). One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits, and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone.

Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became scarce and they had to return to the south.

A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands(腺) in the bird's body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird‟s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight.

This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way.

How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks(地面标志), for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.

16．We can conclude from the first paragraph that ______. A during the Ice Age, the whole Europe was covered with ice B the south used to be the homelands of all birds

C scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate now

D migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth.

17．The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter because ______. A they are specially trained by a scientist B they are affected by seasonal changes

C there is a change in their body temperature D they are exposed to extra daylight

18．The phrase“account for”(Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means ______. A indicate B explain C prove D provide

19．Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage？ A Birds do not migrate at the same time.

B Birds usually follow regular routes of migration. C Each species has a special reason for migration.

D Birds migrate to their own particular places every year.

20．The best title for the passage is ______. A Different Accounts of Migration B Migration and Weather

C New Discovery of Bird Migration D Routes of Bird Migration

Passage 5

Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.. The area's city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing . The neighborhood faced many problems.

Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman..

It was too much for Mark. \"The problems are too big,\" he thought . He turned to the man next to him and said, \"I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.\"

Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. \"People should just take care of themselves, \" he decided. \"That's enough to do. I can't take on all the problems of the world.\"

As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy , suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out . Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. \"Thanks!\" she said. \"You've got great timing!\"

\"Just being neighborly,\" Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was \"Small acts of kindness add up \" Mark smiled and thought, \"Maybe that's a good place to start.\"

21. It is known from the passage that _________.

A Mark played an active part in community activities

B the city councilwoman was responsible for the falling of life quality C visual aids were used to display the seriousness of problems

D many people were discouraged by the many problems facing them 22 In Mark's opinion, ___________.

A nobody was so able as to solve the problems B he was not in the position to solve such problems C many people were too selfish to think about others D he already had more than enough work to do

23. The word \"darted\" in paragraph 5 can be best replaced by _________. A \"walked \" B \" marched \" C \"wandered \" D \" dashed \" 24. What is the implication of the words on the bus wall?

A You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way. B Everyone can play his own part to make things better. C All small acts will add up to kindness. D It's a small act to help a person in need. 25. The passage is mainly about ____________. A how individuals can help make a difference

B running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problems C citizens' reactions to the problems they face D solving problems through group action

Passage 6

In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people respect each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example , a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can of food . Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it.

Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like nonsense.

Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is \"illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle.\" Obviously, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving their own car. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.

It is often harder to repeal (废止)a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense, now seem like nonsense.

26. According to the passage, laws are designed for the purpose of ____________. A protecting people's rights B making people respect each other C preventing gun-carrying D punishing criminals 27. The word \"job\" in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.

A working B shooting C preventing gun-carrying D disturbing others 28. The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _________. A how some laws are passed and changed B how people in Indiana open cans C why some laws may seem strange

D why people in Indiana no longer use their guns

29. What's the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles?

A It leads to traffic jams. B It is not clearly written. C It is not designed to serve a good purpose. D It has been out of date. 30. We can conclude from the passage that ___________. A a law system is necessary for every society

B some laws that don't make sense may also get passed

C it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one D some laws may seem strange as time passes

Passage 7

The word “generosity” has been devalued（贬值） somewhat recently. A millionaire man may give his friend a house in the beautiful suburb（市郊）; A rich man could fly halfway round the world to meet his friends for his birthday party. In this case, generosity is more an action of showing off than a sincere action of giving. And such showing off lacks the most important quality of real generosity: to offer kindness and love without expecting anything in return.

Real generosity, when you meet it is simply so pleasant. And as a quality, it belongs equally to the rich and the poor. A traveler in a faraway place felt it when he shared bread, room, even bed with a farmer‟ s family, whose general principle is “A guest in the house is God in the house”.

Another story is about a university student from Oxford. He did something out of his natural sense of generosity when he learned that his roommate couldn‟t afford an impossibly expensive textbook, a book which was very rare in second-hand shops. Knowing that his roommate was far too proud to accept such a book as present from him, the rich student bought a new copy for 35 pounds at Blackwell‟ s bookshop. He dirtied it up a bit and tore off the paper cover, made a few dog-ears（卷页） and pencil marks against what he thought might be important parts, and wrote an invented name in the front. He even remembered to age the ink by putting it over fire. Then he went back, looking extremely proud of himself and claiming to have got the book in a second-hand bookshop. “Beaten them down to two pounds!” To make his friends believe him, he showed a receipt（收据）for the money by buying himself another book at the same place. Ten years later, the poorer student got to know the truth. Actually he was suspicious at the very beginning, though he didn‟t force his richer friend to tell the truth. He appreciated the invaluable generosity as well as the valuable book.

Real generosity lies in the giver‟ s thoughtfulness, not its price or wrapping of the gift. It is one of the things which make us human and should be honored more than we do now.

31. A millionaire gives his friend a beautiful house, which is considered as ________ by the author. A a sincere action of giving B an action of showing off

C a good example of generosity D a quality of being kind to others

32. Which of the following is true of real generosity? A It offers help expecting something in return. B It‟s a quality belonging only to the rich.

C It expresses a sort of simple love to human beings. D It lies in the giver‟s thoughtfulness and kindness.

33. The Oxford student‟ s generosity to his roommate is shown in ________. A his efforts to look for the textbook in all the second-hand bookshops B his wisdom to beat the price of the book down to two pounds C his ability to make the new book look old and cheap

D his consideration of offering the book without hurting his roommate‟ s self-respect

34. The poorer student didn‟t force his rich friend to tell the truth because ________. A he was too proud to know the fact

B he appreciated his friend‟ s thoughtfulness

C he was suspicious of the rich student‟ s intention D he didn‟t want to know the truth

35. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A Real generosity is invaluable.

B A guest in the house is God in the house. C The word “generosity” has been devalued.

D A gift can‟ t be judged by its price or wrapping.

Passage 8

Researchers have discovered that cellular--phone radiation(辐射) can cause subtle, short-term biological effects in humans-including changes in brainwave patterns during sleep—but their full significance remains to be determined. Given that uncertainty and the fact that everyone from the National Cancer Institute to the World Health Organization is investigating cellular—phone radiation, many experts caution that it is far too early to give the phones a clean bill of health.

Cellular phones work by transmitting radio waves to base stations that connect calls into a network. The waves are a form of non-ionizing(非离子的) radiation-unlike, say, X rays, which have the power to change the atoms in human cells to potentially hazardous ions. Non—ionizing radiation can also be dangerous. At the high levels found in radar or inside microwave ovens(微波炉), it can heat and severely damage human beings. The question for scientists is whether the low—energy (and low-heat) signals from cellular phones can do harm.

Cancer studies have been inconclusive since 1993,when a Florida man brought an unsuccessful charge that blamed his wife‟ s fatal brain tumor(肿瘤) on her use of a cellular phone. In a frequently quoted 1997 report, Australian researchers exposed mice to two daily 30-min. amount of cellular-phone radiation for up to 18 months. The mice developed tumors at twice the rate of animals that were radiation-free. But the results haven‟ t been widely quoted, and some scientists question their relevance. For now m the best advice science can offer about cellular phones is handle with care.

36. According to the passage, science cannot offer us a definite connection between ________. A cellular-phone radiation and changes in brainwave patterns B X rays and the atoms in human cells C the use of cellular phones and cancer

D mice exposed to cellular-phone radiation and the development of tumors

37. “A clean bill of health” in the first paragraph means ________. A the money paid for a treatment in a hospital B a clean way of improving health

C the health that is improved through good habits D a document of health stating the absence of disease

38. According to the passage, radio waves are different from X rays in that ________. A the former are more dangerous

B the former are a form of non-ionizing radiation C the latter are mainly used in hospitals

D the latter are low-energy and low-heat signals

39. The word “inconclusive” in the last paragraph means ________ A disapproved by the public B not generally understood

C misleading people to a conclusion D not leading to a definite result

40. According to the passage, it is advised that cell phones ________. A be done away with B be handled cautiously

C be researched scientifically D be associated with cancer
