17、 to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1
18、770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas“. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn t seem to feel pain when they were us
19、ing this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didnt know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out wit
20、h pain when his tooth Was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph mainly_.（分数：2.00）A.describes the pain during an operationB.advises people not to worry about the painC.
21、describes how a doctor worked beforeD.introduces a new product(2).It can be inferred that the gas is called “laughing gas“ because_.（分数：2.00）A.it makes people happyB.it makes people laughC.it stops painD.it kills illness(3).In order to test the laughing gas, Wells first_.（分数：2.00）A.went to parties t

24、. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U. S. , children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the governmen
25、t. If the soup has anything in it or the meat is too tough to eat, the diner can complain to the waiter: if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out. Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely com
26、petitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isnt always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. Btittne desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkin
27、d, arid even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the pract
28、ical, challenging American lifestyle. Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and land-hearted. Most newcomers to the U. S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the g
29、reatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph tells us that Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.are straightforwardB.show no respect to teachersC.dont like their governmentD.li

31、 don t like foreignersC.Americans get along well with immigrantsD.Americans have more faults than virtues(4).The last sentence of the passage implies that foreigners in America_.（分数：2.00）A.won t stay long thereB.won t like the countryC.will soon feel at home thereD.will soon find a job there(5).The
32、passage mainly talks about_.（分数：2.00）A.the American virtuesB.the American characterC.the American faultsD.the American lifestyleFilling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each co
33、mpany or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. When visiting future empl
34、oyees, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly. Use words that describe the res
35、ponsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. Pay particular attention if there is a section
36、 on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if
37、they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sentence of the passage means that_.（分数：2.00）A.you may have to fill in a long application formB.the filling-in of an application form takes much timeC.any slight error in the tir
38、ing filling-in of the forms should be avoidedD.application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in(2).Although all application forms demand the same basic information, _.（分数：2.00）A.different companies may have different requirementsB.different companies may have differ
39、ent attitudes toward themC.applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detailD.applicants are very familiar with different application forms(3).Which of the following statements about your personal data is true?（分数：2.00）A.They will be of much help to your interview.B.They are more impo
40、rtant than the interview.C.They should be written as simply as possible.D.They should include all your personal information.(4).When writing about the duties of your jobs, you should_.（分数：2.00）A.only describe your social activitiesB.list only the duties you performedC.focus on your involvement in th
41、e communityD.try to include more details(5).Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Nature of Filling in Application FormsB.Important of Filling in Application FormsC.Critical Details for Filling in Application FormsD.Jobs and Their Filling in Application FormsListen
42、ing is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be
43、 much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message. The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener s familiarity with the theme(主题) of the message. It also depends
44、 on the listener s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation. Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increas
45、ing our comprehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become eff
46、ective listeners. Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is most possible taken from_.（分数：2.00）A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion mag
47、azine(2).What is the first paragraph mainly about?（分数：2.00）A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.(3).The skill to anti
48、cipate in listening comprehension depends largely on_.（分数：2.00）A.the listener s emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listeners communicative skillsD.the listeners familiarity with the topic(4).In order to anticipate, the first thing to do before actual listening may be_.（分数：2.00）A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others(5).What is the author s attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?（分数：2.00）A.Neutral.B.PositiveC.Negative.D.Critical.三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：40.00)Hundreds of people have
