20、rd of living. It is not surprising, (41) , that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread in the United States (42) the more schooling people have, the more money they will (43) when they leave school. The belief is strongest (44) the desirability of an undergr
21、aduate university degree, or a (45) degree such as medicine or law (46) the undergraduate degree.

Perhaps this helps to explain survey (53) which showed that Americans who (54) _they had lived th
23、eir lives differently in some way regretted (55) of all that they did not get more education. The regret is (56) by those who have made (57) to the top and by those who have not.

29、it is still possible to attack the problem of chemical pollution; but we must attack it from three directions. First, we need more independent research into the effects of chemicals by scientists who are not paid by the government or by large industrial companies. Second, scientists need to educate
30、the general public and inform them about the dangers of chemicals in the environment. If the public knows that a certain chemical threatens the health of their children, then it will put pressure on politicians in office, they will take action to correct the long-term economic costs of chemicals. It
31、 will be extremely expensive to clean areas of land which are contaminated (污染) by chemicals; it will be even more costly to give medical treatment to people who are suffering from serious illnesses after exposure to dangerous chemicals. If governments realize this, the short-term economic benefits
32、of chemicals will seem much less attractive to them.If we can put pressure on governments in these three ways, perhaps they will begin to behave more responsibly. They will perhaps pass new laws against pollution and enforce them strictly. Perhaps, then, the chemical producers will begin to behave m
33、ore responsibly.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. The Environment in Danger.B. The Problem of Chemical Pollution.C.

35、B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is true of the governments mentioned in the passage?A. They are already behaving in an extremely responsible way.B. They do not believe that it is possible to solve the chemical pollution.C. They think chemicals do little harm to the health of humans.D. They are unwi
36、lling to stop the use of certain chemicals.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The economy is more important to governments than the peoples health is.B. Governments think chemicals bring them more economic pollution.C. The public knows enough about the da
37、ngers of chemical pollution.D.

38、es will grow.C. Some people and scientists will criticize them.D. The chemical producers will strongly protest.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets an
39、swers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation“ goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and me
40、aning. When successful matching is being experienced our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and e
41、xamining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and tha
42、t is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process“ conversation as opposed to a “content“ conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略) we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a t
43、ext is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.（分数：10.00）(1).Reading as a ki
44、nd of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _.A. the readers expectations agree with what is said in the textB. the reader has trouble understanding what the author saysC. the reader asks questions and gets answersD. the reader understands a text very well（分数：2.00）
45、A.B.C.D.(2).At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _.A. read a text slowly B. read without thinking hardC. interpret a text in their own way D. concentrate on the meaning of words only（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).A “process“ conversation has to do with _.A. the application of reading strategiesB
46、. matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC. the development of our ability to check the detailsD. determining the main idea of a text（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between _.A. conscious and un
47、conscious levels of comprehensionB. the readers expectations and the meaning of a textC. lower and higher levels of comprehensionD. interpreting and criticizing a text（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should _.A. learn to use different approaches
48、 in reading different textsB. make our reading process more consciousC. pay more attention to the content of a textD. take a critical attitude towards the authors ideas（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)These days more and more people are working in joint ventures or doing business with
49、 foreign companies. Its not just language that can be a problem. Cultural issues can also cause a breakdown in communication. Here are some simple tips to help you improve your cross-cultural communication skills:1. Slow DownEven when there is a common language, slow down, speak clearly and ensure your pronunciation is understandable.2. Separate QuestionsTry
