Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked a. B. C. and D. You should decide on the best choice. Passage One AdamSmith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of thedivision of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an examplethe process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire, anotherstrengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at thetop to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or threedifferent operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pinsis another. It is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper. And theimportant business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteenoperations, which in some factories are all performed by different people,though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Tenmen, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about4,800 pins apiece. But if all of them had worked separately and independentlywithout division of labour, they certainly could not each of them have madetwenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one. There can be no doubt that division oflabour, provided that it is not taken too far, is an efficient way oforganizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but healso took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible foreconomic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference betweenexpanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour addsnothing new; it only enables people to produce more f what they already have. 1. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to________. A. take advantage of the division of labourB. introduce the division of labour into EnglandC. understand the effects of the division oflabourD. explain the causes of the division oflabour2. AdamSmith saw that the division of labour _________.A. enabled each worker to make pins morequickly and more cheaplyB. increased the possible output per workerC. increased the number of people employed infactoriesD. improved the quality of pins produced3. According to Adam Smith’s example, thenumber of operations required in making pinsis about _________.A. five B. eightC. twelve D. eighteen4. AdamSmith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to __________.A. show the advantages of the division oflabourB. show the advantages of the old craftsystemC. emphasize how powerful the individualworker was D.emphasize the importance of increased production5. According to the writer, Adam Smith’smistake was in believing that division of labour ________.A. was an efficient way of organizing workB. was an important development in methods ofproductionC. always led to economic developmentD. increased the production of existing goodsPassage Two TheRed Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are inneed of help. A man in a Paris hospital whoneeds blood, a woman in Mexicowho was injured in an earthquake, and family in India that lost their home in astorm may all be aided by the Red Cross. TheRed Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Crossorganizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen David, theSun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying tohelp people in need. Theidea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a warstarted with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were sufferingon a battlefield in Italy.He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they werefighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treatycalled the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick andwounded, and other citizens during a war. TheAmerican Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross inthe United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helpingpeople in need, teaching first aid and providing blood.6. Which of the following could bestreplace the title for this selection?A. People in Need of Help. B. Safety and Protection.C. The International Red Cross. D. Forming an organization toHelp People.7. The word “aided” in the first paragraphmeans ___________.A. needed B. helpedC. caught D. protected8. The author really tries to make thereader see that this organization ____________.A. costs very little money B. works in manynationsC. teaches first aid if necessary D. is called the Sun9. We may drew a conclusion that___________ during a war.A. the Red Cross only protects the woundedB. the Red Crossonly helps prisoners of warC. the Red Crossonly helps citizensD. the Red Crosshelps all the people in need no matter which side they are fighting for10. The person who started the idea of thisorganization was ____________.A. Cross B. DunantC. Barton D. MogenDavid Passage Three Footballis, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to oneof the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can seethem all there, shouting for one side or the other. Toa stranger one of the most surprising things about football in Englandis the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. Hecan tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams, he haspictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He willtell you whom he expects will win such and such a match and his opinion isusually as good as that of men three or four times his age. Mostschools in Englandtake football seriously ¾ muchmore seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are allimportant, and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed thateducation is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the characteris by means of games, especially team games, instead of working for himselfalone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its pupils. Football isa good team game, it is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it isvery school’s game in England. 11.At football matches, people often _______ one team or the other by shouting. A.watch B. win over C.laugh at D. support 12.In Englandschool boys seem ________ football games. A.to know a great deal about B. not to know much about C.to know a little about D. to know nothing about 13. In thesentence “His opinion is as good as that of men three or four times his age”, “that”means ______. A.the match B.the opinion C.the age D.the team 14.In England,education means ____________. A.filling a boy’s mind with stories B.more than teaching of knowledge C.the teaching of knowledge only D.training character by means of football games15. Football games are very popular among _____________. A.all people B. adults C.boys and girls D. boys only Passage Four Insects’ lives are very short and they havemany enemies, but they must survive long enough to breed and perpetuate theirkind. The less insect like they look, the better their chance of survival. Tolook “inedible” by resembling or imitating plants or objects that hold nointerest or their enemies is a deception widely practiced by insects. Mammalsrarely use this type of camouflage, but many fish and invertebrates do. The stick caterpillar is well named. It ishardly distinguishable from a brown or green twig. This caterpillar is quitecommon and can be found almost anywhere in North America.It is also called “measuring worm” or “inchworm”. It walks by arching its body,then stretching out and grasping the branch with its front feet, then loopingits body again to bring the hind feet forward. When danger threatens, the stickcaterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and remainsrigid and still, like a twig, until the danger has passed. Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not haveto assume a rigid, twig like pose to find protection; they look like inedibletwigs in any position. There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in sizefrom the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species thatmay be over a foot long. When at rest their front legs are stretched out,heightening their camouflage. Some 9f the tropical species are adorned withspines or ridges, imitating the thorny bushes or trees in wh9ch they live. Leaves also seem to be a favorite object forinsects to imitate. Many butterflies can suddenly disappear from view byfolding their wings and sitting quietly among the foliage that they resemble. 16. In lines 1 and 4, the word “enemies” refers to _________.A. other creatures competing for spaceB. extreme weather conditionsC. inedible insects D. creatures that eat insects17. According to thepassage, how does the stick caterpillar make itself look like a twig? A.By holding its body stiff and motionless. B.By looping itself around a stick. C.By changing the color of its skinD. By laying its bodyflat against a branch.18. Which of thefollowing is true of stick insects?A. They resemble theirsurroundings all the time.B. they makethemselves look like other insects.C. They arecamouflaged only when walking.D. They change colorto make themselves invisible.19. Which of thefollowing are NOT mentioned in the passage as objects that are imitated asmeans of protection?A. Thorns. B. FlowersC. Leaves. D. Sticks.20. In which paragraphdoes the author describe the way in which stick caterpillars move?A. Paragraph one. B. Paragraph two.C. Paragraph three. D. Paragraph four. Passage Five Normallya student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, andeach course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards adegree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists ofthirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists ofthree classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a studentwill probably attend four or five courses during each semester. It is possibleto spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is alsopossible for a student to move between one university and another during hisdegree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows astudent is given a grad, which is recorded, and the record is available for thestudent to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressureand strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time forgreat activity instudent affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. Theeffective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students whoadvise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken therules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With theenormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve acertain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions ofauthority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in hiscareer. 21. Normally a student would at least attend________ classes each week. A.36 B.12 C.20 D.1522. According to the first paragraph anAmerican student is allowed ___________. A.to live in a different university B.to take a particular course in a different university C.to live at home and drive to classes D.to get two degrees from two different universities23. American university students are usuallyunder pressure of work because ________. A.their academic performance will affect their future careers B.they are heavily involved in student affairs C.they have to observe university discipline D.they want to run for positions of authority24. Some students are enthusiasticfor positions in student organizations probably because ______. A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B.they will then be able to stay longer in the university C.such positions help them get better jobs D.such positions are usually well paid25. The student organizations seem to beeffective in _________. A. dealing with the academic affairs ofthe university B. ensuring that the students observeuniversity regulations C. evaluating students’ performance bybringing them before a court D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasmfor social activities Passage Six Aftera long, hard day, many people find comfort in an ice-cold beer or a martini.For some of these people, alcohol, in any form, is a dangerous drug. Thesepeople are alcoholics. Recently, doctors have been trying to discover whatalcoholics are like and why people become alcoholics. This essay will report onwhat doctors have uncovered. Doctorshave discovered one misconception about what alcoholics are like. The popularpicture of an alcoholic as a bum is wrong. Actual statistics show that thesepathetic human beings make up only 3 percent of the alcoholic population. Themajority of the nine million American alcoholics are from middle-class homesand have good jobs. Alcoholics can be found in every level of society. Althoughmost alcoholics are male, female alcoholism is a growing problem. Alcoholicscome from all races, colors, and creeds. One specific reason explaining whydrinkers become alcoholics has not been found. If alcohol itself were thecause, everyone who drinks would become addicted.

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Eachperson sees the same scene, but each perceives (感知)something different about it. Perceivinggoes on in our minds. Of the three people who book out of the window, one maysay that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees arush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he seesa woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception isthe minds’ interpretation (解释)of what the senses ¾ in thiscase our eyes ¾ tell us. Manypsychologists (心理学家) todayare working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives theworld around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set upexperiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring andcharting the results of many experiments, they are try to find out what makesdifferent people perceive totally different things about the same scene.31.

It is the expression on her face: she looks … so desolate, soutterly unloved. People hurry past her as quickly as possible; if someone doessmile, I watch her hesitate for a moment. Then she looks away. WhenI came to the office about half-an-hour ago I passed her by pretending that Iwas interested in a shop-display. From her, however, I can study her in perfectsafety. Perhaps she is waiting for someone. I realize now that she could nothave been taken in by my obvious pretence for it is repeated every few minutesby others¾ repeated too frequently to be convincing. Atone time I might have pitied her, for that kind of cruelty comes easiest ofall. Believe me, I know ¾ Klaus taught me that. Iremember my headmaster talking to us before Klaus was brought in. “Thereis nothing special about him,” he said. “Remember, he is just like the rest ofus.” Whenhe came into the classroom for the first time, however, it was quite obvious hewas not like the rest of us: Klaus looked different, he talked different and,even though he wore the same clothes as us, somehow he seemed to be dresseddifferently. Everyone looked at him and he looked at the floor. He had fairhair, very pale skin and was quite tall. His shoulders were trembling, makinghis hands shake as if they were receiving a series of small electric shocks. “Thisis Klaus, he is going to join your class.” Myfamily talked a great deal about ‘class’ which for a long time I confused withmy school-friends who were all of one class in both senses of the word. “He isof a different class altogether” meant, to me, that someone was simply a fewyears older or younger than my self. And when my Aunt Claire happened to remarkduring an Open Day that Klaus was of a different class to the rest of the boys,I hastened to correct her saying that on the contrary he was the same age amyself and we sat next to each other and were the very best of friends. Shesaid I was a very kind and thoughtful boy; and I replied excitedly that I wasgoing to learn German.36.The writer was watching the woman because ____________. A.he was very curious about whom she was waiting for B.he knew her miserable story C.he was reminded of Klaus D.he remembered the headmaster’s words37.While the woman was standing outside in the rain, she realized that_________.

A.thought that ‘class’ meant a group of children of the same age B.thought that Klaus was taken to the wrong classroom C.talked a great deal about his class D.could understand the adults very well39.Klaus’ shoulders were trembling because ___________ . A.he was very weak. B. he was toonervous C.he had received electric shocks D.his school uniform did not fit him40.Aunt Claire’s words during an Open Day meant that__________. A.Klaus belonged to a different social group. B.Klaus was a few years older than the writer C.Klaus did not speak the same language D.Klaus was not as thoughtful as the writer Passage Nine Duringthe American War of Independence, women were involved in the active fighting inthree ways. First, as members of a distinct branch of the Continental Army,referred to as “Women of the Army”. Women staffed field hospitals and acted asmilitary support in such roles as water carriers. In an emergency, women watercarriers, who had plenty of opportunity to observe the firing of cannons, couldreplace a wounded comrade. The second way that women were involved in activefighting was as regular troop members who wore men’s uniforms and fought sideby side with their male counterparts. Theoretically, women were not supposed tobe recruited into the Continental Army, but if a woman was a good soldier, noone made an issue of sex at a time when the army was so short of soldiers thatboys not yet in their teens were also being recruited in violation of rules.Third, women were occasional fighters affiliated with local militia companiesof committees of safety formed to protect the local community.41.Whatis the main idea expressed in the passage?

D. it was against the lawfor young boys to fire weapons.43.What is probably the main reason that womenwere permitted to fight in the war even though their formal participation wasdiscouraged? A.Only women were successful as water carriers. B.They were needed to make battle uniforms. C.Colonial women were particularly healthy and strong. D.The army desperately needed combat soldiers.44.Women were involved in fighting the war forAmerican independence in all of the following except as _______. A.members of committees of safety.

A.Nursing B.History C.Social Work D.Labor Studies Passage Ten It is time to turn back the clock in ourschools. Getting an education is not fun and was never meant to be. Educationis hard work and much of that work is very boring. But after 12 years ofphonetics and arithmetic, literature and geometry, history and languages,taught in the traditional way, students emerge as educated persons. Studentsso educated need no special tutoring to pass specific courses or to takecollege entrance exams. They'll take the tests cold, will do well, average orbelow and will either go or not go to college. Not everyone is collegematerial. Thereis no 'special program' of education that will produce results that are as goodas those produced by textbooks, classroom lessons, homework and tests. You canpour billions of dollars into flashy learning projects, individualizedinstruction and teacher-aide salaries but none of these can replace good oldfashion disciplines in learning and classroom behavior. Ihave to laugh when I hear parents refer to their children as 'gifted'. Only asmall percentage of any given population is above average in intelligence. Theaverage person possesses an average brain and needs average, everydayinstruction. Even those children who are truly gifted are generally so in onlyone area, e.g. math, languages or science, and do not require an entirecurriculum based on that label. WhenI was in school, the few gifted children enriched their own courses of study bydoing extra credit assignments and /or special projects on their own time. Theysat in the classroom with the rest of us and learned the basic subjects ¾ onlythey learned them better. Mostpeople are not born with super brains. the standards for American education andthe methods by which it is possible to attain them have been set for centuries.With a few minor changes, they can still work for us and for generations tocome. We must adhere to these standards, using teachers and textbooks, homeworkand tests. A few of our children will be members of the intellectual elite.Most will not. 46. The author holds up the view that___________. A.children who are gifted should get special programs B.the traditional approach to education is better than modern approaches C.students need special tutoring to pass special courses D.everybody who takes the tests can enter college47. Theauthor regards some new learning projects and individualized instructions as____________. A.attractive but not sufficient B.very modern C.useful C.brilliant48. According to the passage gifted children__________. A.should have completely another kind of curriculum B.can still have the same general curriculum as other children C.are very special D.should enrich their courses by doing more49. Thewriter defends her assertion that no major changes in American education areneeded by saying that __________. A.students today are little different from those in the past B.so few gifted students really exist that it doesn't matter what we do to them C. students used to go to Princeton, but today no one is smart enough to go there D.None of the above50. According to the passage what are thevalid means of educating students? A.Special programs. B.Individualized instructions. C.Textbooks, classroom lessons, homework and tests. D.Extra assignments. Passage Eleven Thetradition of playing practical jokes on 1st April, which in fact originated inancient Rome,is still upheld in many countries today. Themajority of jokers are content to confine their activities to members of thefamily, colleagues at work or fellow students. The most popular type of joke isone that leads the victim into a totally unnecessary course of action, such asmaking a ling and pointless journey. There are more daring individuals,however, who pull off spectacular hoaxes on a much larger scale. Oneof the most famous British hoaxes was staged in 1910 by a group of six youngpeople from Cambridge.Their aim was to convince the commander and crew of H.M.S. dreadnought thatthey were the Emperor of Abyssinia and his entourage. First, they sent atelegram, supposedly from the Foreign office, to the ship’s commander. In itthey announced that the part would arrive by train early that afternoon andasked him to make the necessary arrangement to welcome them. Whenthe party arrive, they were given a marvelous reception, including a red carpetat the station and a pipe band aboard the ship. The Emperor than inspected thewarship and its personnel. During the tour, different members played differentparts. One was a foreign office guide; another an interpreter who had learnt afew words from a Swahili phrase book. Needlessto say, the victims were furious when the hoax was revealed, and some officerseven threatened the group’s leader with physical violence. Parliament was nonetoo pleased, either!51. On April 1, men, women and children willplay absurd but harmless jokes on________. A.family members or relatives. B.colleagues or schoolmates. C.friends. D.people they know well.52. The phrase “pull off” can be bestreplaced by _________. A.plan deliberately. B.carry out successfully. C.work hard on. D.make good use of.53. The six young men from Cambridge ____________. A.were given a red carpet as present in the railway station. B.were presented with a pipe as a gift on the ship. C.were received warmly and cordially by the ship’s commander and crew. D.all of the above.54. This story took place__________. A.in Rome. B.at a British port. C.in an Abyssinian city. D.on the Continent.55. This passage could be best entitled________. A.“The Origin of All Fool’s Day”. B.“Practical Jokes on All Fool’s Day”. C.“Victims of April Fool’s Day”. D.“A Spectacular Hoax on April 1”. Passage Twelve The humorous story may bespun out to great length, and may wander around as much as it pleases, andarrive nowhere in particular; but the comic story and the witty story must bebrief and end with a point. The humorous story bubbles gently along, the othertwo burst. The humorous story isstrictly a work of art ¾ high and delicate art ¾ andonly an artist can tell it; but no art is necessary in telling the comic andwitty stories; anybody can do it. The art of telling humorous story ¾ Imean by word of mouth, not print ¾was created in America, andhas remained at home. The humorous story is toldgravely; the teller does his best to conceal the fact that he even dimlysuspects that there is anything funny about it; but the teller of the comicstory tells you beforehand that it is one of the funniest things he has everheard, then tells it with eager delight, and is the first person to laugh whenhe gets through. And sometimes, if he has had good success., he is so glad andhappy that he will repeat the ‘nub’ of it and glance around from face to face,collecting applause, and then repeat it again. it is a pathetic thing to see.56. Which story takes the longest to tell? A.The humorous story. B.The witty story. C.The comic story D.All the three take the same amount of time.57. Which story has no particular point? A.The humorous story B.The witty story. C.The comic story D.all the three.58. The humorous story _____. A.was created abroad B.is essentially American C.is also appreciated in other countries D.is more popular in other countries than in the USA59. The teller of a humorous story ______. A.laughs at his own joke B.repeats it several times C.is very serious when he tells it D.is concerned about the reaction of his listener60. The teller of a comic story _______. A.tells it only once B.tells the listener beforehand C.doesn’t care whether his listeners enjoy it or not D.is very serious when telling it. Passage ThirteenAdvertisingas we know it today did not begin in the United States until after the CivilWar. Before that, advertising had consisted mainly of small paragraphs in whicha man simply stated what he wanted to sell. Later, Benjamin Franklin becameknown as the “Father of Advertising”, partly because he used the moderncopywriting technique of emphasizing the rewards derived from using a product,rather than simply talking about the product itself. The 19the century is also the period in whichtrademarks and slogans were born. Manufacturers often advertise a product byassociating it with a symbol, often a person or an animal, known as atrademark; the trademark fro a product may only be used by that particularcompany. For instance, the trademark of the RCA Victor Company is a picture ofan old record player with a dog listening to the record; it appears in most RCAads and on most of their products. Slogans and trademarks are still widely used inmodern advertising, but generally the approach has become more scientific. Withhundreds of products that are nearly identical, an advertiser must somehow makehis product look different, even if it really isn’t. It has been said that thetwo most important words in advertising are “free” and “new”. Middle classAmericans usually think that if a product is new, it is always better; and whenpeople aren’t buying a product, calling it “new” often does wonders for itssales.61. Modern advertising began in the USA ___________. A. in the 19th century B. after the Civil War C. when trademarks andslogans were born D. when people wantedto make their product look different.62. Benjamin Franklin was named the “Father of Advertising” partlybecause _____. A. he invented thetrademark B. he advertised hisproducts first C. he first used someimportant words like “free” and “new” in his advertisement D. he used moderncopywriting technique to stress the rewards derived from using a product63. What statement is true about trademarks? A. Trademarks werefirst used in the Civil War. B. Trademarks are usedas a symbol of a product in advertisement. C. Trademarks came intobeing along with the modern advertisement. D. Different companiescan have the same trademark.64. About advertising, middle class Americans usually think that_____. A. if a product is“new”, it’s always better B. if a product isadvertised, it’s always better C. if a product looksdifferent; it’s really different from other products D. if a product isadvertised, it costs less65. Which title do you think is better fro the passage? A. The Father ofAdvertising. B. Slogans andTrademarks in Advisement. C. The Development ofAdvertising in the USA. D. The Difference ofthe Old and Modern Advertisement. Passage Fourteen Arabs consider it extremely bad mannersto start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government officialalways takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments (食品和饮料). No matterhow busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality. Personalrelationships are very important. They are the key to doing business in Arabcountries. Try to identify the decision ¾ maker regarding your product or service immediately and get to knowhim on a friendly basis.
