Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self－worth relied(依赖) on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life－and－death affairs. In their single－minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the_most_vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self－respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

()65.What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．Competition helps to set up self－respect.

B．Opinions about competition are different among people.

C．Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

D．Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

()66.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A．It pushes society forward. B．It builds up a sense of duty.

C．It improves personal abilities. D．It encourages inpidual efforts.

()67.The underlined phrase“the most vocal”in Paragraph 3 means ________．

A．those who try their best to win

B．those who value competition most highly

C．those who are against competition most strongly

D．those who rely on others most for success

()68.Which point of view may the author agree to?

A．Every effort should be paid back.

B．Competition should be encouraged.

C．Winning should be a life－and－death matter.

D．Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

(B)

Long long ago, there was a story. A young father punished his 3－year－old daughter, because she wasted a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated(大怒) when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said to him，“This is for you, Daddy.”

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction(过激行为), but his anger flared(爆发)

again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating，“Don't you know, when you give someone a gift, there is supposed to be something inside？”The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried，“Oh, Daddy, it is not empty at all. I blew kisses int o the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl firmly, and begged for her forgiveness.

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It was also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years. Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each one of us, as a human being, has been given a gold container filled with unconditional(无条件的)love and kisses from our children, family members and friends. There is simply no other possession more precious than this.

()69.Once upon a time, a father punished his daughter for ________．

A．she wasted a roll of silk wrapping paper

B．she wasted a roll of gold wrapping paper

C．she wasted a roll of expensive paper

D．she wasted pieces of paper

()70.The young father was very embarrassed because ________．

A．he misunderstood his daughter

B．he didn't understand his daughter

C．he didn't give his daughter a present

D．he overreacted to his daughter

()71.In our life we all have been given a box filled with ________ according to the passage.

A．food from family members B．money from parents

C．presents D．love and kisses

(C)

In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”，or if men want to please them，“the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women's bodies really weaker?

The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's times are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first“Tarzan” in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up.

Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!

()72.Women are called“the weaker sex” because ________．

76．________________

Dearest Gail，

Dad and I were so happy to get your nice long letter this morning. Thank you for not making us wait too long. I was worried about that cold of yours, But now that you are well again, I won't worry any more! Just don't go back to office too soon. After all, You can write your shows just as easily and well at home.

77．________________

You'd be surprised to know how interested everybody is in your job. Neighbours keep stopping me all the time to ask about you. They want to know what shows you write, and whether they can hear them on the air. I feel proud when I tell them about“Comets of Crime”an d “Little Emmy”. They look so funny when they say，“Really? Does Gail write those famous shows？” I guess it's hard for them to realize that the little tomboy they used to know is now a very serious－minded and successful writer.

78．________________

I'm sending you a dress. I know you can get anything you want in Detroit, but I happened to see this one in Grayson's window and it's just the kind you like, and I think it will go beautifully

with your long brown hair. But if you don't like it, return it and I'll take it back to Grayson's.

79．________________

Now take really good care of yourself. Your idea for a Television Theater is wonderful, and I'm sure it will be a great success, but must you do it in such a hurry? Can't you take another week or two to work out your plan? I wish you would. I wish you would take things a little easier and try to get more rest.

80．________________

Dad and Bobby send you their love. You have been away from home for such a long time. We all miss you. I guess we'll never get used to seeing so little of our Gail! Your letters help, so write soon again.

Section D

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

“Uncle Sam”，of course, stands for the United States. It is the nickname(绰号) of the country. It is hard to believe that this nickname arose quite by accident and there was a man called“Uncle Sam”.However, not many people have ever heard of such a man. Not even most young Americans.

The man was called Uncle Sam Wilson. He was born in Arlington, Massachusetts, on September 13,1766. At the age of 14 Sam joined the American Revolutionary War, and served in the army under George Washington until the end of the war. He then moved to Troy, New York State, and began a meat－packing business. In the year of 1812, war broke out between the United States and the Great Britain. On October 2 that year, a group of visitors came to Sam's meat－packing plant. Among them was Governor Daniel Tompkings of New York State. He noticed the capitalized letters EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A workman replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson, the businessman for whom Sam was working. And he added jokingly that US(actually it was the short form for the United States)stood for Uncle Sam Wilson.

In May 1813, this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York. Since Uncle Sam was an example of a hard－working man and a lover of America, the idea of “Uncle Sam”as the name for this kind of man became well－known rapidly.

By the end of the War of 1812，“Uncle Sam”had come to symbolize the character of the nation and the government. In 1961 the US Congress made a decision that“Uncle Sam”is the America's national symbol.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 8 WORDS.) 81．What was Sam's first contribution to the United States?

82．The capitalized letters “US”came to stand for “Uncle Sam” through ________．

83．Why did the nickname “Uncle Sam”get accepted easily?

84．It took ________ years for the name“Uncle Sam”to be officially accepted as a symbol of the United States.

【语海采珠】

现在完成进行时和现在完成时

一、现在完成进行时

1．现在完成进行时的构成是：has/have(not) been ＋v－ing/has(not) been ＋v－ing 2．现在完成进行时表示从过去某个时间开始的动作一直进行到现在，而且可能仍然要进行下去。

3．现在完成进行时经常和表示一段时间的时间状语，如all time、all morning、for three

weeks等连用，强调动作持续了很久。

例句：(1)What have you been doing all this time?

你一直都在干什么来着？(动作可能继续下去)

(2)I've been writing letters all this morning.

我写了一上午的信。(动作不再继续下去)

(3)He is ill. He's been lying in the bed for three weeks.

他在病中，已卧床3个星期了。(动作会继续下去)

(4)I've been puzzling ever since I set eyes on you where I saw you before.

自从我看见你之后，我一直在纳闷曾在哪儿见到过你。(动作可能还在继续)

(5)Have you been waiting long for me?

你等我很久了吗？(动作当然不再继续)

二、现在完成时

1．现在完成时的基本结构是：has/have done

2．现在完成时表示发生在过去的动作，对现在的影响(或结果)。

3．现在完成时所表示的动作离说话人的说话时刻可远可近，所以有近距离与远距离之别。

例句：(1)The car has arrived.车子来了。

(2)Someone has broken the window.有人把窗户打破了。

(3)He has travelled over many lands.他到过许多国家。

(4)I have been a teacher.我当过教师。

(5)I have bought a pen but lost it.我买了一支钢笔，可又把它丢了。

三、注意

1．现在完成进行时与现在完成时区别在于：前者强调动作一直在持续，而后者强调动作的结果。通常情况下，这两个时态可以互换。

2．以下情况下，二者不可互换：

(1)现在完成进行时表示目前正在发生或刚刚结束的动作，而现在完成时表示在较长时间之前就已完成的动作。

(2)现在完成进行时有时用来强调某件事或同一件事花了多长时间，而现在完成时则强调数量。

(3)包括系动词在内的某些动词通常不用现在完成进行时。而感官动词则两个时态都可以使用。

例句：①You've been reading for hours—you should get up to relax your eyes.

你已经连续读了好几个小时了，你应该站起来使眼睛休息下。

②The world population has been increasing for many years. It has doubled over the past 30 years.

许多年来，世界人口一直在增多，在过去的30年里人口数量已经翻了一倍。

③Scientists have been trying to solve this program for years, but have not found the solution yet.
