Part I I  阅读理解

Passage 1

There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.

The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Bruen’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.

11. The author            .

A. believes both of the stories               

B. doesn’t believe a word of the stories

C. is not sure whether the stories are true      

D. is telling the stories just for fun

12. According to the passage, President Jackson           .

   A. couldn’t draw up any documents at all

B. didn’t like to read important papers by himself

C. often had his assistants sign documents for him

D. wasn’t good at reading, writing or spelling

13. According to the first story, the term “OK”          .

   A. was approved of by President Jackson

B. was the title of some official documents

C. was first used by President Jackson

D. was an old way to spell “all correct”

14. According to the second story, the term “OK”          .

   A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”

B. meant the place where President Van Buren was born

C. was the name of Van Buren’s club

D. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election

15. According to the second story, the term “OK” was first used             .

   A. by Van Buren                          

B. in a presidential election

C. to organize the Old Kinderhook Club

D. by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”

 

Passage 2

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs ) of more than a million people each – a large proportion than in Germany or English, let alone France. The statistics(统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.

16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?

A. About 25 million.                                          B. More than 25 million

C. Less than 25 million                                D. Less than 225 million

17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?

A. the United States.                                          B. Germany

C. France.                                                  D. England

18. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?

A. Of a large city with its suburbs.                B. Of small and large towns.

C. Of urban areas.                                       D. Of rural areas.

19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?

A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.

B. Small towns are still similar to each other.

C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.

D. Small towns are turning into large cities.

20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?

A. Because they are the same.

B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.

C. Because the process is gradual.

D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.

 

Passage 3

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history’. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.

21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?

A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.

B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.

C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.

D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.

22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because          .

   A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time

B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record

C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire

D. the people there did not know how to write

23. “Remembered history” refers to           .

   A. history based on a person’s imagination

B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth

C. songs and danced about the most important events

D. both B and C

24. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when            .

   A. it is written down                                          B. no written account is available

C. it proves to be true                                  D. people are interested in it

25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had           .

   A. kept a written record of every past event

B. not burnt their written records in wars

C. told exact stories of the most important happenings

D. made more songs and dances

Passage 1

    When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the question, “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed.

This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.

On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

11. The Vienna survey may help to explain        .

  A. the complaints of people in apartment houses

B. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death

C. the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger

D. the image of cities in general

12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some         .

  A. benefits of walking                                          B. occasions for walking in city life

C. comments made by city people                   D. problems of city living

13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful     .

  A. to take the elevator                                          B. to walk up the stairs

C. to ride in a car                                                 D. to find an alternative to walking

14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because      .

A. they don’t live near business areas                     B. they don’t need the exercise

C. they never have parking problems                     D. they can’t afford to take the bus

15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that        .

  A. air pollution is not serious                 

B. anyone can live to be 107

C. country people should move to the city

D. walking is healthful exercise

 

Passage 2

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well- known proverbs and quotations.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

16. English people          .

A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist

B. never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatist

C. are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatist

D. do not care who is the world’s greatest dramatist

17. Every Englishman knows           .

   A. more or less about Shakespeare

B. Shakespeare, but only slightly

C. all Shakespeare’s writings

D. only the name of the greatest English writer

18. Which of the following is true?

   A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.

B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.

C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.

D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.

19. What does the word “proverb ” mean?

   A. Familiar sayings.                             B. Shakespeare’s plays.

C. Complaints.                                     D. Actors and actresses.

20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?

   A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time

B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.

C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time

D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

 

Passage 3

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.

Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can         .

   A. keep him from the hot sunshine

B. enable him to build warships

C. make him draw quick profit from them

D. protect him from droughts and floods

22. It’s a great pity that        .

   A. man is only interested in building empires

B. man is eager to profit from trees

C. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him

D. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees

23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear        .

   A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees

B. unless people stop cutting down their trees

C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees

D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them

24. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “        ”.

   A. to wash away                                         B. to make wet

C. to make stay together                              D. to improve

25. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can       .

   A. keep rain from falling down to soft ground

B. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in

C. prevent the soil from being washed away

D. make the topsoil stick together

Passage 1

Dr. Harvey Gates, the noted scientist, might never have discovered the Kamron lizard(蜥蜴)in Blovia, if it had not been for a childhood accident. As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw.

After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school.

In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University, he received his Doctor of Science degree. It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral studies in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron lizard.

Passage 2

I was due to take my driving test at 11:30 a.m. It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9:50 a.m., my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed.

We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit, but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking.

We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous.

Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn’t-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.

I sat in the waiting room until six examiners came in to call out our respective names. Mine showed no emotion as he asked me to go to my car. I showed none either, but the tension began mounting again.

Passage 1

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginians of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

11. Why didn’t Washington go to college?

  A. His family could not afford it      .                   

B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time.

C. He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen.

D. The author doesn’t give any reason.

12. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he         .

  A. lacked practice in public speaking      

B. felt his education was not good enough

C. didn’t like arguing and debating with people

D. felt that debating was like intellectual training

13. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he          .

  A. didn’t really care about going

B. didn't know French leaders

C. couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders

D. was too busy to travel

14. According to the author          .

  A. Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life

B. Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French

C. Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison

D. Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen

15. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education            .

  A. was of great variety, covering many subjects

B. was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time

C. may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his time

D. was rather limited for a president

 

Passage 2

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”

16. From the passage, we understand that          .

  A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties

B. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers

C. the author received the same education as most people during his childhood

D. the author liked most people as they look upon life as a process of getting

17. According to the author           .

  A. giving means you will lack money

B. the excitement of giving can bring you money

C. you don’t have to be rich in order to give

D. when you give away money, you will be rich

18. The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper          .

  A. in writing                                                B. in person                 

C. in the window display                              D. about the neighborhood

19. When the author needed a post-office box,           .

  A. he had to put his name on a waiting list

B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation

C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him

D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him

20. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said             .

  A. it was the special delivery                          B. it was the post-away box

C. it was the note of appreciation he wrote             D. it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago

 

Passage 3

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.

Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.

Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.

21. Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?

  A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.

B. Television has much influence on children.

C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.

D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.

22. In what ways do children suffer from television?

  A. They become the victims of social violence.

B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.

C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.

D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.

23. Parents would not like their children to see commercials because          .

  A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising

B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers

C. commercials help to sell products

D. they don’t like commercial

24. Educational television is widely appreciated because           .

  A. it does have the same commercials as others

B. it offers programs for both children and their parents

C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children

D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school

25. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

  A. Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young Minds

B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational

C. Television’s Influence on Children

D. More Education Television

Another useful method for improving your reading is the ability to reflect on what is being presented. Readers  41  the material that they have read not simply to understand it,  42  to interpret, analyze, and critique this information. Readers use several different methods to help them reflect such as careful note-taking, synthesis, and analysis.

Careful note-taking on your reading material   43  while you read.

Passage 1

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

11. From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker         .

  A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him

B. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctly

C. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, Helen

D. is sorry that his friends let him down

12. In the second paragraph, the author uses the example of “You’re a lucky dog” to show that       .

  A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

B. this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”

C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words

D. the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to apply to people

13. This passage tries to tell you how to           .

  A. avoid mistakes about money and friends

B. bring the “dog” bit into our conversation

C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you

D. keep people friendly without trusting them

14. In listening to a person, the important thing is            .

  A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyes

B. listen to how he pronounces his words

C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture

D. not to believe what he says

15. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would             .

  A. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you

B. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy you

C. not lose real friends who say things that do not please you

D. be able to observe people as they are talking to you

 

Passage 2

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the king’s letter could set him free.

Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717—1718, and another 12 days in 1726.

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.

16. The Bastille had been a prison           .

  A. since the time of Charles V                        B. since 1370

  A. Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille.

B. The Bastille was only for those who opposed to the King.

C. Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside.

D. Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.

18. At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed            .

  A. a large number of prisoners

B. a lot of writers who had been against the government

C. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking

D. only a few prisoners

19. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.

B. Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more.

C. The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.

D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people.

20. This passage mainly         .

  A. tells how the prisoners were controlled by the King

B. tells how little was known about the Bastille

C. shows the inner workings of the Bastille

D. gives a brief history of the Bastille

 

Passage  3

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 (推翻) 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 goes 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.

  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

24. 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

25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

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

Passage 1

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right.” But “You’ve put a bug in his ear”—maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. The First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feels”, Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

11. According to the writer, greetings, such as “How do you feel?”          .

  A. show one’s consideration for others            B. are a good way to make friends

C. are proper to ask a man in action                D. generally make one feel uneasy

12. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of         .

  A. a man working at his desk                         B. a person having lost a close friend

C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried      D. a friend who is ill

13. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should           .

  A. be praised for his efforts                                  B. never be asked any question

C. not be bothered                                        D. be discouraged from working so that

14. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage show his           .

  A. cheerfulness          B. cleverness                 C. ability                      D. politeness

15. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve           .

C. made fun of him                                       D. given him some kind of warning

 

Passage 2

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young people thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t!” but it is useless to try 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 an 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 opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon !

16. 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. fro slim people only                                  D. one can go into without special training

17. 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

18. The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning 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

19. 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 than the leading actor of the day

D. no less famous than the leading actor of the day

20. The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means        .

  A. this is something which happens once in a while

B. this is a highly profitable chance

C. this is something highly possible

D. this is a very rare chance

 

Passage 3

Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status. But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits, and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another. So how do people in the business world show their superiority?

An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films. They had two actors play the parts of an executive and a visitor, and switch roles each time. The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive, while the other, playing the part of a visitor, knocks at the door, opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.

The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status. A certain set of rules about status began to emerge form the ratings. The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man. He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk, and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.

Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering. For the seated executive, his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering. The quicker the visitor entered the room, the more status he had. The longer the executive took to answer, the more status he had.

21. The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out         .

  A. how business is conducted by an executive and a visitor

B. how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor

C. how to tell businessmen at a glance

D. how businessmen indicate status

22. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?

  A. The executive has a higher statue than the visitor.
