14、e great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!“ For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of
15、her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her an
16、d say:“ Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.“ One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did
17、so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,“ he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!“（分数：10.00）(1).The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods _.（分数：2.00）A.on TVB.from the mana

20、out things, it is necessary to understand “the point“. Americans mention it often: “Let“s get right to the point,“ they will say, “My point is.“ “What is the point of all this?“ The “point“ is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people“s thi
21、nking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear“, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of the piece of information they wish to express. People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans tradi
22、tionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, “I don“t think that coat goes very well with the res
23、t of your outfit ,“ a Japanese might say, “Maybe other coats would look even better than the one you have on.“ Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.“ Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude. The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vaguen
24、ess(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义). The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point“ cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate sat
25、isfactorily with Americans.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Americans expect speakers and writers to _.（分数：2.00）A.be clear about their main ideasB.give as much information as possibleC.express their personal viewsD.be honest about their true feelings(2).Which of the following peoples will tel
26、l a story to express what they have in mind?（分数：2.00）A.Americans.B.Africans.C.Japanese.D.Chinese.(3).In the sentence “I don“t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit “, the word “outfit“ most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.officeB.timeC.speechD.clothes(4).According to the passage, t
27、he Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be _.（分数：2.00）A.indirectB.straightforwardC.poorly-dressedD.curious(5).In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to _.（分数：2.00）A.learn the language wellB.change their way of thinkingC.be careful about their choice of wo
28、rdsD.explain their reasons clearly五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Every year more and more plants and animals disappear never to be seen again. Strangely, it is the most intelligent but most thoughtless animal that is causing most of the problemsman. Nature is very carefully balanced and if this bala
29、nce is disturbed, animals can disappear alarmingly(令人担忧地) fast. Every day, thousands of species of animals draw closer to extinction. There are countless numbers of species which may become extinct before they are even discovered. In many lakes the fish are dying. Fishermen are worried because every
30、 year there are fewer fish and some lakes have no fish at all. Scientists are beginning to get worried too. What is killing the fish? The problem is acid rain. Acid rain is a kind of air pollution. It is caused by factories that burn coal or oil or gas. These factories send smoke high into the air.
31、The wind often carries the smoke far from the factories. Some of the harmful substances in the smoke may come down with the rain hundreds of miles away. The rain in many places isn“t natural and clean any more. It“s full of acid chemicals. When it falls in lakes, it changes them too. The lakes becom
32、e more acidic. Acid water is like vinegar or lemon juice. It hurts when it gets in your eyes. It also kills the plants and animals that usually live in lake water. That is why the fish are dying in lakes. But dead fish may be just the beginning of the problem. Scientists are finding other effects of
33、 acid rain. In some large areas trees are dying. Not just one tree here and there, but whole forests. At first scientists couldn“t understand why. There were no bugs or diseases in these trees. The weather was not dry. But now they think that the rain was the cause. Acid rain is making the earth mor
34、e acidic in these areas. Some kinds of trees cannot live in the soil that is very acidic. Now scientists are also beginning to study the effects of acid rain on larger animals. For example, they believe that some deer in Poland are less healthy because of acid rain. If deer are hurt by the rain, wha
35、t about people? This is the question many people are beginning to ask. No one knows the answer yet. But it is an important question for us all.（分数：10.00）(1).Every year thousands of species of animals _.（分数：2.00）A.are hunted for their meat and skinsB.migrate to other placesC.starve to deathD.die out(
36、2).Acid rain is caused by _.（分数：2.00）A.natural gasB.the ozone(臭氧) layer depletion(损耗)C.acidic lake waterD.emissions of industrial enterprises(3).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.00）A.Dead fish in lakes is the only problem caused by acid rain.B.Scientists are sure that acid rain is not harmful fo
37、r mankind.C.If we don“t make an attempt to stop acid rain we may never see some animals again.D.There“s no reason to worry about several trees that died of some unknown disease.(4).What is not mentioned in the text?（分数：2.00）A.Acid rain is capable of dissolving(分解) some rocks and stones.B.Fish are un
38、able to live in the water containing acidic chemicals.C.Coal, oil or gas form dangerous combinations after being burnt.D.Scientists think that if some larger animals can be affected by acid rain, people may be in great danger.(5).Factory smoke _.（分数：2.00）A.stays over the factoriesB.is usually clean
39、nowC.turns into airD.can travel hundreds of miles六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“I“ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back.“ Lucien Lawrence“s letter to Father Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched
40、 every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn“t see the stars in the sky. When those who we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while. But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And,
41、 in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I“m still surp
42、rised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn“t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the child
43、ren!“ I haven“t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on. It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors(挑衅者), and to lay down my life fo
44、r those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It“s a serious thought, one to give me pause. I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword(剑) , and my darling from the power of the dog“. Yet I know the death comes
45、to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I“m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in thei
46、r hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph _.（分数：2.00）A.puts forward the subject of the textB.shows the author“s pity on the kidC.acts as an introduction to the discussionD.makes a clear statemen
47、t of the author“s views(2).In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us _.（分数：2.00）A.how much he misses his parents nowB.why his parents often appear in his dreamsC.when Lucien will get over all his sadnessD.how proud he was when he succeeded in life(3).What feeling did the autho
48、r“s mother express in her reply?（分数：2.00）A.Proud.B.Happy.C.Disappointed.D.Worried.(4).In the author“s opinion, the value of a person“s life is _.（分数：2.00）A.to leave behind a precious memory to the people relatedB.to have a high sense of duty to the whole societyC.to care what others will remember an
49、d treasureD.to share happiness and sadness with his family(5).What does the writer mean by the sentence taken from an old poem?（分数：2.00）A.Call on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns.B.Advise parents stay with their children safely at home.C.Spend every day meaningfully in memory of the death.D.Try to keep violence and murder far away from s
