17、 Cloze(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Our airplane was just besides the airport building. It did not look too strong to me, but I decided not to think about such things. We saw the baggage going out 1 it on trolleys and being loaded from 2 the aircraft. Next, three men and three girls, all in uniform, went over to
18、the plane and 3 it. Over the loudspeakers we were 4 the plane was ready to leave and were asked to walk 5 to it. Everybody moved quickly in order to 6 the seats they wanted. I was 7 to get a seat near the tail, but the plane looked 8 inside than it had from outside. I fastened my seat belt 9 we took
19、 off and tried to 10 my nervousness. After an hour“s flying I 11 black clouds ahead through my window. An electric sign flashed 12 : “Fasten your seat belts, please,“ and one of the hostesses made a 13 request over the loudspeakers. She told us we were about to fly into a storm but 14 cheerfully the

It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their c
24、hildren makes a big difference in the children“s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child“s language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children, participated in t
25、he experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“ rathe
26、r than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language develop
27、ment, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（

32、quired to respond activelyD.children who read actively seem six months old五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face differen
33、t from another. Yet a very young childor even an animal, such as a pigeoncan learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone“s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that
34、 make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone“s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what is “a nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time do
35、ing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person“, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words ch
36、aracterizing differences in people“s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military typespeople are described with such terms. People have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore mask
37、s to show the audience whether they played the villain“s (坏人) or the hero“s role. In fact the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guy from the bad guy because the two
38、types differ in appearances as well as in actions.（分数：10.00）(1).By using the example of fingerprints, the author tells us that _.（分数：2.00）A.people can learn to recognize facesB.people have different personalitiesC.people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsD.people differ from
39、each other in facial features(2).According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _.（分数：2.00）A.telling people apart by how they behaveB.typing each otherC.telling good people from bad peopleD.recognizing human faces(3).Who most probably knows best how to describe people“s personality?（分数：2.0
40、0）A.The ancient Greek audience.B.The movie actors.C.Psychologists.D.The modern TV audience.(4).According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because _.（分数：2.00）A.people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsB.human fingerprints provide uniqu
41、e informationC.people“s behavior can be easily described in wordsD.human faces have complex features(5).Which of the following is the major point of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Why it is necessary to identify people“s personality?B.Why it is possible to describe people?C.How to get to know people?D.How b
42、est to recognize people?六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Most personal managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do
43、 with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record. But
44、 suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “This can be a serious problem of employers,“ examine Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.“ Research shows that up to 75 percent
45、of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become i
46、ncreasinglydishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.“ Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policystyle interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resum
47、e is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.（分数：10.00）(1).The best title of this passage can be _.（分数：2.00）A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a J
48、ob by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews(2).The liars hard to recognize are those who tell _.（分数：2.00）A.complete truthsB.complete liesC.partial truthsD.mainly truths(3).How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（分数：2.00）A.By leaving out some ne
49、cessary information.B.By providing more information than needed.C.By using their body language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.(4).In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _.（分数：2.00）A.examine the resumes carefullyB.inspect the candidates aggressivelyC.correct the resumes intentionallyD.compare one“s res
