Well, themost-watched TV programs every week are very popular dramas that are usually onat least four times every week. They are dramas based on one neighborhood thattry to depict ordinary life in the UK--We call these dramas "soapoperas" or "soaps". In the early days of TV, there were oftendramas on during the day. Back in those days, it was traditional for thehusband to go out to work and for the wife to stay at home and look after thehouse and the children. Most of these daytime dramas were aimed at entertainingthe housewives who would traditionally be at home, probably doing the washing.Companies selling washing powder would advertise their products at times whenthese dramas were on, and sometimes those companies would even sponsor thedrama. Hence the word "soap" came into use. So what about the word "opera"?Well, that's because these dramas are often an exaggeration of real life. Theyare supposed to represent, ordinary lives but to make them entertaining, lotsof dramatic events like murders, divorces, affairs etc. all happen probablymuch more regularly than they would in a normal neighborhood.1. Themost-watched TV programs in the UK are “soap operas”. A. T B. F2. Thesedramas are called “soap operas” because housewives like using soaps.A. T B. F 3. In theearly days of TV, there were no dramas on in the evening.A. T B. F 4. These“soap operas” are often an exaggeration of real life.A. T B.F 5. Dramaticevents like murders, divorces, etc. do not happen very often in real life.A. T B. F Passage2Crimehas its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records thatwere studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprisinglink between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK. The pattern of crime has varied verylittle over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July andAugust, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more thanseasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent ofmurders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m. Unlike the summer high in crimes ofbodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbedbetween 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January orFebruary. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites arereported in this month than in any other month of the year. On the other hand, our intellectualseasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies.Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensivestudies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attendscientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose themost changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumnpeak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington'sstudies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions tomental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!6. The seasonal cycle of crimepatterns is proved by_________. A. the figures in police records B. 2,400 cities and towns C. a magazine report D. the studies by police officers7. According to paragraph 2, a murderwould most possibly occur on _________. A. a weekday morning in spring B. a weekday morning in autumn C. a weekend night in summer D. a weekend night in winter8. What makes May a special month ofthe year? A. All types of crimes happen in May. B. There is no crime happened in May. C. Criminals increase in number in May. D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.9. Which behavior is NOT an example ofhuman intellectual activities? A. Reading books on philosophy. B. Attending wedding ceremony. C. Working on mathematics questions. D. Innovating engineering machinery.10. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month whenpeople _________. A. get divorced B. recover from mental illness C. try to kill themselves D. climb high and low mountains Passage3Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without acar most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor hedoesn't feel really poor when he had a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in largenumbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect Americanculture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped makethe United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car becomes so popular in theUnited States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like tomove around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form oftransportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the UnitedStates never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of publictransportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the countryas they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system ofair-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The Americanspirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't liketo wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don' t like to have tofollow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their owntime. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But theanswer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solutionwill have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.
11. Most Americans feel they are poor when they ________.
A. have no job
B. have no food
C. have no money
D. have no car
12. Henry Ford was the first to ________ cars in large numbers.

14. With a car people can go ________ easily.

D. any place
15. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ________.
A. to make less cars
B. to develop a public transportation system
C. to make gas-saving cars
D. to develop train service Passage 4Why don't birds get lost on their long flights from one place toanother? Scientists have puzzled over this question for a long time. Nowthey're starting to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds use the sun to guidethem during daylight hours. How do birds fly at night? Tests with artificialstars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the starsin their long-distance flights.www.Ｅxamda.CoM
A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown undera natural sky. But it had an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. Thebird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried tofly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change inthe position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of hisflight.考试大论坛
But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation（航行）. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find theirway by such landmarks (路标)as fiver courses, mountainranges, coast lines. But when it's too dark to see these things, the dovescircle helplessly, unable to find their way.来源：考试大

A. T B. F Passage 5 As we know, if we want to keep our healthy and have a strong body,our eating habits are very important in our daily life. There 'are times whenmost of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Actually,sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of ameal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. Meanwhile,it is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feelhungry, it shows that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we maynot want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either. A longtime ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling thetruth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, itwas a sign that he wasn't telling the truth. Although this seems very strangeand rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. Aman who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry.He loses his appetite and does not want to eat anything if he is worryingsomething.
21. We have to develop good eating habits because ________.
A. we want to be healthy and strong
B. we want to enjoy our food
C. we want to eat more
D. we want to save time
22. ________ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.
A. Either meat or rice
B. Neither sweets nor ice cream
C. Not only meat but also rice
D. Both sweets and ice cream
23. We had better have our meals ________.
A. when our work is over
B. at the same time each day
C. when the meal is still hot
D. when we go back home
24. A man who is angry has ________.
A. a better appetite
B. to eat more food
C. a poor appetite
D. to eat nothing
25. The judges in old England considered that a man could ________ if he didn'ttell a truth.
A. swallow dry bread easily
B. eat a lot of dry bread
C. drink milk or hot water
D. hardly swallow dry bread Passage 6Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it isfor a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose issettled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is tofind it and buy it;the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walkinto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it instock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it onproceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed inless than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not havewhat he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case thesalesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No goodsalesman brings out such a substitute bluntly;he does so with skill and polish:“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would youlike to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual responseis:“This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I shouldbe wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost everyrespect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based onneed. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”.Sheis always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what thesaleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on anynumber of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding somethingthat everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have anexcellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookoutfor the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easilyspend an hour going from one rail to another, to and often retracing (折回) her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. Itis a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shopsprovide chairs for the waiting husbands. 26.When a man is buying clothes, he does not mind how much he hasto pay for the right things. A. T B. F27. When the shop offers the nearest to the article required, menare not easily persuaded to buy the recommended one. A. T B. F28. In commerce a good salesman is one who sells something acustomer does not particularly want.A. T B. F29. Women shoppers don’t welcome suggestions from anyone when theymake their purchasing decisions for clothes.A. T B. F30. What is the most obvious difference between men and womenshoppers is the time they take over buying clothes.A. T B. F 第三部分：词汇与结构针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1.
