Manuel and Joe were traders with the Pawnee Indians. Each of them tried to get by trade as many furs as possible for himself, using whatever means possible and without showing pity towards the other. For that reason, they often quarrelled. In order to prevent such hot arguments they agreed that if a group of Indians arrived at their trading posts (商栈) for the purpose of exchange and trade, neither would attempt to take advantage of the other. Manuel, however, had no intention of trading on honourable terms for any length of time; once when both of them expected a group of Pawnee, he tried to fool Joe. While he ordered his post supplied in secret with supplies to exchange with the Pawnee, he went over to see Joe in order to put him off his guard, by his own presence there to hold back preparations and to see what was really going on in the other storehouse. Joe played the part of unsuspecting (不怀疑的) host just as well as his enemy played his part. He acted just as though he had allowed himself to be really fooled. He invited Manuel to

drink a glass of champagne to the success of future trade, but regretted that because of his bad back he was not able to bend down and therefore, would have to ask Manuel to fetch the container of wine from the underground room. The latter willingly raised the trapdoor(活门板) in the room and went down the steps; Joe let the door fall (放下), rolled a container upon it, with disrespectful words left his enemy locked up, then, went off to trade alone with the Pawnee. 65. Manuel went to Joe’s because _______.

A. he wanted to hold back Joe’s trading preparations B. he wanted to help Joe get his supplies prepared C. he wanted to start a quarrel D. he wanted to make an agreement

B. He wanted to keep it but believed that Joe would not keep it. C. He planned to keep it only for a short length of time.

D. He never planned to keep it. ■■■■

I have had about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happen to be that put upon member of a society—a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m certain that things are being run only to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a dangerous motto for so-called “service” organisations—Workers before Service.

How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the post office or the supermarket because there weren’t enough assistants on duty to serve all the service windows or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to employ cashiers and counter workers. Yet supermarkets, suggesting darkly higher prices, say that having all their cash registers (出纳机) work at any one time would increase costs. And the post office says we cannot expect all their service windows to be open “at times when demand is low”. It’s the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen cooks must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or fewer kinds of dishes are served. As for us guests, we just have to put up with it. Also so many friendly hotel night doorkeepers have been dismissed gradually and replaced by machines for so-called efficiency. Not to mention the gradual menace (威胁) of the tea-making things in your room in a hotel: a tea-pot with different kinds of teabags, plastic milk box and ready-made sugar. Who wants to be treated with uncooked tea? I don’t, especially when I’m paying for “service”.

Can this kind of service, this growing unfairness towards the customers be stopped? I eagerly hope so because it’s happening, sadly, in all walks of life. 68. The writer feels that nowadays a customer is _______. A. the receiver of privileged treatment

B. unworthy of proper consideration

C. classified by society as lower D. the sufferer of modern organisation

69. In the writer’s opinion, the quality of service is changing because _______. A. the customers’ demands have changed

B. the workers receive more consideration than the customers C. the customers’ needs have increased

D. the workers are less kind and understanding than their employers

70. According to the writer, long queues at counters in shops and post office are caused by _______.

A. difficulties in employing workers B. not enough workers and desire to save money C. workers being made unnecessarily extra D. lack of cooperation workers

71. Service organisations say that keeping checkout counters all in operation would lead to _______.

A. a rise in the price for providing services B. demands by cashiers for more money C. unimportant interests for the customers ■■

D. the need to buy expensive equipment

Robots frequently star in science fiction movies and books. But, that wasn’t enough and they began jumping off the screen and into reality recently. So if you have some things you’d like a robot to do, you’d better make a list right now. That’s because they may be here faster than you can snap your fingers.

In Hong Kong, for example, customers were once attracted to some restaurants not because of the food, but because of a robot waiter. The robot greeted customers and took their orders. The customers could give the names of the dishes they wanted by tapping on the robot’s screen to complete the order. Robot Waiter 1, as it’s known, can only take orders—it still can’t cook. But restaurant owners say they have plans to add a robot-chief to the staff in the near future. In October, hundreds of robots around the world showed up in Suzhou for the Robot Cup, a World Cup Soccer Game—for robots. And at the end of last month, a robot Albert Einstein was on display in New York. He not only gave physics classes but also identified different faces with a camera in his eyes. Although some people are afraid of the robot revolution—sci-fi (科幻小说) novelist Isaac Asimov described this in his work Robot Revolution, the Making of I, but more people want to enjoy the fascinating world that robots can bring us in the future. 72. Robots in the passage can do all the following things EXCEPT _______.

A. be the heroes in the science movies C. give physics classes

B. take orders in a restaurant

D. cook food in a restaurant

73. The examples in the second paragraph are given to show _______. A. how Chinese care about robots B. the new functions of some robots C. the dangers of a robot revolution

D. New York is advanced in making robots

74. What does the last sentence in the first paragraph mean? A. Robots will soon be available. B. Robots will move faster if you snap your fingers. C. Robots can move as fast as you snap your fingers.

D. It will take less than a minute for robots to enter our life.

75. What once attracted customers to some restaurants in Hong Kong? A. The food of some restaurants. B. A cook chief. C. A robot waiter. D. Some physics classes. ■■

People who live in the countryside generally live longer than those who live in the city. A number of reasons may help explain this point.

To start with, farmers are in close contact (接触) with nature. They breathe fresh air. They make friends with trees and stones, cows and dogs. They listen to the songs of birds. They fight with strong winds. This contact with nature is good for the health of both body and spirit.

Next, hard physical work keeps farmers fit and healthy. It is widely believed that farmers suffer from far less diseases than people in the city. There are many diseases that are common in the city, but not in the countryside. For example, near-sightedness（近视） is almost unknown to farmers. Besides, being free from urban pressure does good to the health of farmers.

Moreover, because there are less cars, motorcars and other kinds of vehicles （车辆）, one can walk more freely without being afraid of accidents. The environment is better in the countryside, which makes the farmers live a quiet and peaceful life.

The farmers can also easily get fresh grain, vegetables, fruits and milk. They enjoy these advantages that people living in the city cannot. 76. What is mainly discussed in the passage? A. How to live a happy and peaceful life. B. Why life is longer in the countryside.

C. How people in the countryside live their life. D. Why country life is better than city life.

77. How many reasons does the writer give to support his point?

A. 1 . B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

78. In the second paragraph, the writer suggests that ______________. A. trees and stones also have feelings

B. birds’ songs are helpful to people’s body building

C. everybody should have the experience of fighting against winds D. the closer you are to nature, the healthier you will be 79. According to the writer, ______________.

A. hard physical work can cure （治愈） near-sightedness B. eating fresh food is good for one’s health

C. no traffic accidents happen in the countryside

D. the environment in the countryside is getting better and better ■ ■■

Directions: Read the following article and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading, which you do not need.

A. Some advertisements which giving little information about their goods are still successful. B. No one can escape the influence of advertising in the modern world. C. Because of competition companies manufacturing (制造) similar goods have to advertise their products.

D. People who are happy in the modern world often buy the products in the ads. E. Advertisements for all kinds of products can be seen everywhere.

F. Some advertisers take advantage of people’s irrationality (不理智的想法) to advertise pro ducts.

80. _______ Every time we open a magazine or newspaper, we find advertisements for various products. Every time we turn on a TV or radio, we find commercials for cars, toothpaste, washing machines, house paint, hair colour, jeans, and dozens of other products. In the modern world, there is no escape from advertising; it is everywhere.

81. _______ Why is advertising so essential (必要的) to people who manufacture and sell products? The main reason is competition. There are many, many companies which are producing items very similar to one another, and each company needs to succeed in order to stay in business. Advertising gives consumers information about a new product and allows them to compare the quality and price of several similar items before they choose which to buy.

82. _______ However, some modern advertising doesn’t give any information at all about the product except its name. Imagine a magazine ad for a certain brand of coffee. A man and a woman are sitting on a sofa. They look happy, friendly and relaxed. The woman has a cup of coffee in her hand, but the magazine reader might not even notice it. The name of the coffee company appears in the corner of the ad, but, again, there is no information about product.

83. _______ How can this advertising be successful if it doesn’t include information about the products? The answer is psychology; advertisers know that people often choose products for emotional reasons, not for rational（理性的） ones. Therefore, the goal of many advertising programmes is simply to make consumers feel good about themselves or to make them believe that they will be happier if they buy the products in the ads. Advertisers use their knowledge of human irrationality when they plan ads and commercials.

84. _______ Some people say, “Advertising doesn’t influence me. I don’t follow ads and commercials.” However, most of us cannot escape the influence of advertising at least some of the time; it influences us even when we don’t realise it. If you don’t believe this, go into your bedroom closet, bathroom, and kitchen. Look at the products that you have bought recently. Is every product really necessary in your life? Can you remember why you chose certain brands? The answers might surprise you! 第II卷（共45分） I. Translation
