Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish
15、 they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, There is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from
16、 a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it. This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth. The reason for
17、this label is that most buyers today aren t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.(分数:10.00)(1).The law requires that furs carry a_.(分数:2.00)A.clean labelB.clear labelC.white l
18、abelD.secret label(2).In the article, the author says a little about_.(分数:2.00)A.black market of fursB.managers officeC.chemical laboratoriesD.clothing stores(3).The author doesnt agree that_.(分数:2.00)A.buyers buy the clothes without labelsB.clothing stores sell cheap dressesC.all the products have

20、ers to_.(分数:2.00)A.making furs and clothesB.protecting buyers with lawC.keeping the buyer informedD.businessmen and sellersConcerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As
21、 children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Pare
22、nts want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is importan
23、t and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run
24、away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into “solid citizens“ who fulfill most of their parents expec
25、tations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap“ is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife
26、 usually reflect_.(分数:2.00)A.feeling of hatredB.power struggleC.that they dont care for each otherD.that they may appeal to divorce(2).As children enter adolescence, they begin to do the following EXCEPT_.(分数:2.00)A.demanding greater freedom to go wherever they pleaseB.making decisions without paren
27、tal interferenceC.getting married whenever they pleaseD.doing what they please(3).“ . . . generation gap is narrowing. “ means_.(分数:2.00)A.the adolescents now become timidB.parents dont want to interfere with their children s freedomC.the vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents values
28、 and ideasD.parents and teenager dont like to quarrel(4).Parents and children often disagree about what is important or right because_.(分数:2.00)A.they have different styles of lifeB.they hate each otherC.parents think that their children are troublemakersD.they are in a society of rapidly changing s
29、ocial and moral values(5).When many American parents dont know how to deal with their children, they seek advice from the following EXCEPT_.(分数:2.00)A.neighborsB.parent-training coursesC.booksD.lecturesThe English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claime
30、d that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved p
31、erson among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment(车厢)any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹)in a corner, and no one speaks. An
32、 English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, “On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers. “ Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion
33、. It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, etc. Of course, Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as “a marvelous jewel“ , w
34、hile the Englishman will flatly state “Um, she s all right. “ An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, “ It s not bad. “ The overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest. They must realize that “all right“ “not bad“
35、are very often used with the sense of “first class“excellent“. This special use of language is particularly common in English.(分数:10.00)(1).One explanation for the different character of English people is that_.(分数:2.00)A.they are geographically isolated from the European continentB.they have nothin
36、g to do with the other EuropeansC.they like to keep quiet among their acquaintancesD.they tend to be reserved by nature(2).The word “inhibited“(Para. 2)in this passage probably means_.(分数:2.00)A.unable to have good mannersB.unable to express and relax freelyC.able to act properlyD.able to talk freel
37、y(3).According to the passage, on entering a railway compartment, an overseas visitor is expected to_.(分数:2.00)A.inquire about the code of behavior in the trainB.shake hands with all the passengersC.shake hands with the person he knowsD.behave like an Englishman(4).The English way of commenting on s
38、omething or somebody suggests that_.(分数:2.00)A.the English are modest in most circumstancesB.the English feel no less than any other nationalityC.the English tend to display less emotion than they feelD.the English dont take a strong interest in making comment(5).What does the passage mainly discuss
39、?(分数:2.00)A.The differences between the English and the other Europeans.B.The different character of the Englishman and its reason.C.The reasons for English people s shyness.D.The code of behavior of the nationalities in Europe.Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so
40、. But some things we do know. First, we know that all men in the world have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language. Second, there is no such thing as a pri
41、mitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understo
42、od; indeed, the direct contrary(反面)has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive way. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian lang
43、uages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek. A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, e
44、ach one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change
45、 goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.(分数:10.00)(1).What can be inferred from the second paragraph?(分数:2.00)A.Some ba
46、ckward race of men doesn t have a language of their own.B.Some race of men in history didn t posses a language of their own.C.Any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.D.Some race of men o earth can communicate without language.(2).What kind of language can peoples of undeveloped cultu
47、res have?(分数:2.00)A.Complicated.B.Uncivilized.C.Primitive.D.Well-known.(3).People used to think Indians communicated_.(分数:2.00)A.with complicated languageB.in a primitive wayC.with hand gesturesD.through body movements(4).What does the word “adequate“(Para. 4)most probably mean?(分数:2.00)A.Primitive.
48、B.Unique.C.Sufficient.D.Proper.(5).According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in_.(分数:2.00)A.grammarB.pronunciationC.vocabularyD.intonation三、Cloze(总题数:1,分数:30.00)To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and inter
