16、00)四、Passage 1(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Passing by a supermarket, I was attracted by a long queue of people with big plastic bags full of kinds of goods they bought outside the gate. I came up with curiosity to find out the puzzle. Handing in this purchase ticket to the girl in charge of the activity, the boy
17、 in the front of the queue received a box of chocolate with delicate package. It turned out to be a promotion activity, which would provide a box of chocolate to those who bought more than ten yuan worth of goods and paid one more yuan. It“s really good news especially for those who are keen on barg
18、ains. Once there was a promotion activity, they were usually easy to go into ecstasies (狂喜；入迷) and bought the goods on impulse, never having time to consider carefully whether they needed the goods desperately or not. I was not an exception. When I was determined to make a purchase, however, finding
19、 that there was only nine yuan with myself, I was forced to give up. Nowadays, more and more merchants use their brains to launch bewildering (迷惑人的) promotion activities to attract people“s attention, which motivate their consumption. It“s merchants who take advantage of people“s psychology of takin
20、g advantage of petty benefits. From the point of the whole society, consumption stimulates production, which in turn brings up employment opportunities and strengthens the purchase capacity of the whole society. Once people have more money, they can afford and consume more goods. Consequently, the m
21、ore goods are consumed, the greater incentive (鼓励) for the renewal cycle of products, which results in the progress of industrial technology and the elimination of economic depression. As for one who has little money at his disposal, he“d better consider carefully before making a purchase decision.
22、Otherwise, he has to curtail (削减) his expenditure during the rest of the month.（分数：15.00）(1).Why was the boy given a box of chocolate?（分数：3.00）A.Because he had a purchase ticket.B.Because he was keen on bargains.C.Because the goods he bought cost more than 10 yuan.D.Because he had helped the girl to
23、 carry the goods she bought.(2).People cannot help buying goods they don“t actually need when _.（分数：3.00）A.there is a promotion activityB.they have enough moneyC.they have time to go aroundD.they are with children(3).I didn“t buy the goods during the promotion activity because _.（分数：3.00）A.I was not
24、 interested in themB.I didn“t need the goodsC.I didn“t have enough moneyD.I had no time(4).Which of the following statements is True?（分数：3.00）A.Nowadays people are not easy to believe the promotion activity.B.Consumption promotion is a way of eliminating economic depression.C.Consumption can stimula
25、te production but cannot bring up employment opportunities.D.That people want to buy better goods with little money is a bad news to the merchants.(5).For a person who has little money, which of the following is a good proposal?（分数：3.00）A.Buy more goods during the promotion activities.B.Don“t buy an
26、y goods during the promotion activities.C.Consider carefully before buying goods.D.Buy things as few as you can.五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：15.00)In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treat
27、ment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner (全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP“s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do ha
28、ve to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a speci
29、alist at a hospital or clinic. Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need t
30、o go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance (救护车) and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.（分数：15.00）(1).In Britain, the National Health Service refe

35、which is a kind of free software used by your computer. Make sure you have installed the appropriate Reader before you download your ebook from the Internet. The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like. It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options (

If you load them onto your portable computer, you can take them with you when you travel. Some ebooks are even interactive! Best of all, when you ord

Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign la
42、nguages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some are obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of lea
43、rning to pronounce them, and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I thi
44、nk even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to d
45、evote some of the lessons to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.（分数：15.00）(1).Teaching pronunciation _.（分数：3.00）A.should always be taken into first considerationB.can never be treated as a main cou
46、rseC.may not he so important as someone thinksD.is often neglected in teachers“ practice(2).The teacher“s attitude to the subject can _.（分数：3.00）A.change the students“ devotion to the teacher himselfB.influence the students“ attention to itC.receive students“ attention to his pronunciationD.reduce s
47、tudents“ interest in language(3).According to the author, _ good proficiency at pronouncing foreign languages.（分数：3.00）A.many people fail to achieveB.many students can attainC.most teachers ignoreD.most teachers have(4).That most students can“t pronounce a foreign language properly is because _.（分数：
48、3.00）A.they like to learn grammar rather than pronunciationB.teachers think pronunciation is not importantC.teachers can not find effective ways to teach pronunciationD.they lack careful training in pronunciation(5).Which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：3.00）A.A good accent can be acquired b
49、y nature.B.Language speaking is not so difficult as grammar.C.Pronouncing a foreign language is a skill.D.One can learn pronunciation without instructions.八、Writing(总题数：1，分数：40.00)21.Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic: My view on Happiness.
