Passage 1

Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.

Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products to go into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

1. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means A. go to the newspaper stand and buy

B. send their own news stories to

C. agree to buy for a specific period of time

D. become faithful readers of

2. The habit of reading newspapers is A. widespread B. found among a few families

C. not popular D. uncommon

3. Before the time of the newspaper, A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowly

B. few people cared about events that took place in far away countries

C. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killed

D. news was passed from one person to another

4. The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is .

A. wasted B. not much

C. well spent D. of no use to anyone

5. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.

B. Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.

C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.

D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.

Passage 2

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them.

fastest growing businesses.

What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international businessmen or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.

One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

Passage 3

Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we

showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic(电磁的) fields caused by wireless phone signals.

Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.

Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.

Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.” They wrote.

11. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Cell phone use is dangerous.

B. Cell phone use causes cancer.

C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field.

D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.

12. Doctor Volkow was astonished because ______.

A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phone

B. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brain

C. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activity

D. human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation

13. According to the passage, cell phones were launched _______。

A. in the late 1970s B. between 1980 and 1985

C. in the late 1980s D. in the early 1990s

Passage 4

Millions of hamburgers are eaten by people in every corner of the world every day. Together with hot dogs and Coca-Cola, hamburgers have been the most important American contribution to international eating habits.

The name “hamburger” has nothing to do with ham(火腿). It is believed that the hamburger was first brought to the United States by Germans from the city of Hamburg sometime in the 1850s.The first known reference to hamburgers was in a newspaper in Washington State in 1889. From then on the hamburger became a kind of popular American fast food.

Now young people in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move, a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other. There have been angry complains from Italy and Spain about the shortening of the usual lunch break. Instead, young people have discovered a lunch for which they don’t have to stop at all.

However, there are clouds over the hamburger’s world. People who concern about health dislike the high animal fat in the hamburger. They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health. The packages in which hamburgers are usually served are causing serious pollution problems in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are destroying large areas of South American rainforest to produce the cheap meat they need. So, will the hamburger celebrate its next century?

16. In which way do hamburgers change people’s eating habits?

A. People can have their meals at any time of the day.

B. They can be served in any restaurant.

C. People can have them with soft drinks.

D. Meal time can be greatly reduced.

Passage 5

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t!” But it is useless to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed; the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part 21. From the very beginning, the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession .

A. sought after by too many B. too difficult for young people

C. for slim people only D. one can go into without special training

22. For someone who feels he must act, it is very likely that .

A. he will become a film star at long last

B. he will become a stage manager

C. he will be well-paid

D. he will end up without any success

23. The film producer found Connie when she was A. at work in a bicycle factory B. driving past him in her car

C. going to a film studio D. waiting for a bus

24. A few weeks after the test, Connie Pratt found herself A. the most famous actress of the world

B. playing the leading female role in a play

C. as famous as the greatest actor of the world

Passage 6

Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings? Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are, according to Boza Keysar, a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study, speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding:

1. Don’t trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod, look at you or say “uhhuh” to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.

2. Train the editor in your head. If you say, “Beth discusses her problems with her husband,” it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead, “Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or “Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband.”

3. Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying “I want to be sure I said that right.” Questions like “How does that sound?” or “Does that make sense?” may also work.

4. Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure . After all, it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.

26. Why does the writer give the advice to reduce misunderstanding?

A. We’re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.

B. Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.

C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.

D. It’s impolite to say NO to others.

27. The writer suggests that when talking to others, the speaker should ______.

A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his words

B. express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding

C. notice listener’s signs of understanding

D. look directly into his listener’s eyes

28. By training the editor in his head, the speakers are advised _______.

A. to get themselves trained by a good editor

B. to discuss problems with their husbands or wives

C. to express themselves in long but simple sentences

D. to make sure each sentence has only one meaning

29. In the last paragraph, the words “you’re on the same page” mean that ______.

A. you’re following the speakers closely

B. you’re reading the same page as the speaker does

B. the Secret of a Successful Marriage

C. Be a Good Listener

D. Some Tips to Avoid Misunderstanding

Passage 7

During the meal, you’d better be careful not to leave a spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or any other dish. The coffee spoon ought to be on the saucer, the soup spoon ought to be on the plate under the bowl. When you are having soup, make the least noises and use the side of your spoon inside out, not the tip. And you mustn’t pick up your soup bowls so as to drink away the last drops of your soup from the bottom of the bowl.

Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say “Oh, it’s delicious!” and ask for some more of the chicken or steak or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say “No, thank you” when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later, because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware with care so that they don’t make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up, the men again helping the ladies with their chairs.

After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, then they would say, “well, I’m afraid I must be going now.” The host and hostess would of course urge everyone to stay longer. “What, already? Won’t you have another coffee?” The guests, for instance, would say, “I love to, but I have to be up early tomorrow. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good-night.”

to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token(象征) of appreciation of their hospitality (好客).

31. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. How to Prepare for a Meal B. Never Press Food on Your Guest

C. Table Manners in the U.S.A. D. How to Enjoy a Dinner

A. to make the hostess happy you should ask for more food even if you are full.

B. you should keep silent at a dinner table in order to be polite.

C. if you want to be friendly with the person next to you, you should press food on him.

D. talking is necessary at a dinner table.

Passage 8

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical device under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group stayed in different rooms. The first group was in an ugly room. The second group was in an ordinary room — a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies show that students do better on tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

36. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?

A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms.

B. The color and general appearance of a room have a deep effect on the behavior of the people in it.

C. The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behavior.

D. Beautifully furnished, light-colored rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms.

37. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.

A. the longer people like to stay in it

B. the sooner people in it will leave

C. the more active people in it will become

D. the more excited people in it are

Passage 9

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”

For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

The education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.

You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor(导师) to the tutors — he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.

46. What is the purpose of the talk?

A. To explain a new requirement for graduation.

B. To interest students in a new community program.

C. To discuss the problems of elementary school students.

Passage 11

This is not a diet or a hard-exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it’s a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It’s fun! You don’t have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It’s about balancing calories(平衡卡路里) in tiny ways that add up to big benefits. You just use some tricks the “naturally thin” people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you’ll lose weight and be

strong!

Talk it UP. Every time you pick up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more every day than thin people, according to a study.

Get face time. We use e-mail so much that we’ve forgotten what our colleagues look like. Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way — go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.

Think about your drink. Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink. A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.

Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you’ll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.

51. What is the topic in the passage?

B. People deliver messages to their colleagues in person.

C. More people walk around when they talk on the phone.

D. Heavy people make longer phone calls than thin people,

53. What does the writer mean by “face time” in Paragraph 3?

A. Time for getting to know each other.

B. Time for sharing ideas face to face.

C. Time for doing small jobs.

D. Time for delivering daily messages face to face

54. Which of the following has the most calories?

A. Strawberry daiquiri. B. Regular beer.

55. Which of the following statements will be supported by the writer of this passage?

A. Only a diet with a hard-exercise can get you lose weight.

B. You shouldn’t drink beer or wine when you want to lose weight.

C. Losing weight is not difficult if you can balance calories in tiny ways.

D. You can’t lose weight if you don’t get enough exercise in your spare time.

Passage 12

Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange any after-school classes for my children. No swimming. No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing.

Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only one hour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden, unplanned freedom. I had to, push them out of the door with a ball, a bike, and so on. “Play!” I

ordered.

I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn’t really important.

When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules of modern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your child have a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you’ll find a genius. Second, if the child shows the slightest talent, the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose. That was really too much for my children.

Now with the new plan, we told stories. We listened to music. And the kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They’ve made friends with those who come from all over the neighborhood to play games.

We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, maybe that’s because the time off has allowed us to enjoy each other’s company;
