Many people worry about their families welfare, reputation, and honor.
17、 Asian families are often 1 , including several generations related by 2 or marriage living in the same home. An Asian person“s misdeeds (过错) are not 3 just on the individual but also on the family including the dead ancestors. Traditional Chinese, among many other Asians, respect their elders and f
18、eel a deep sense of duty 4 them. Children repay their parents“ 5 by being successful and 6 them in old age. This is accepted as a 7 part of life in China. 8 , taking care of the aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous 9 in the United States, where aging and family support are not 10 highly. In
19、fact, in the youth-oriented United States, growing old is seen as a bad thing, and many old people do not receive respect. Pilipinos, the most Americanized of the Asians, are still extremely family-oriented. They are 11 to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get a
20、n education. 12 , the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who leave the country for economic reasons 13 send large parts of their income home to their parents. The Vietnamese family 14 people currently 15 as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet u
21、nborn. Any 16 or actions are done from family considerations, not individual 17 . People“s behavior is judged 18 whether it brings shame or pride to the family.

25、数：0，分数：0.00)四、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Ancient man attempted to change the weather by using magic. When experience taught him this was impossible, he tried to forecast weather conditions. Even earlier than 1000 B.C. there were seers (预言家) in Babylonand priests clever enough to denounce (抨击) as che
26、aters who predicted the weather a year in advance. Some forecasters used methods that seem to have no connection with the actual factors controlling the weather. Chickens and other animals were sacrificed and their intestines (肠) poked to find signs indicating rain or drought. Somewhat more scientif
27、ic were predictions based on vegetation, “Onion“s skin very thin, mild winter coming in. Onion“s skin thick and tough, coming winter cold and rough.“ Insects and animals were also favorite weather clues, “When the glowworm lights his lamp, then the air is always damp“. “If spiders forsake their cobw
28、ebs, the weather will for certain break.“ “If frog remained in pools, the weather would be fine. If they were seen on rocks, rain and cold were due.“（分数：10.00）(1).The author seems to think that animal sacrifices were _.（分数：2.00）A.effective in foretelling the weatherB.successful in foretelling rain o
29、r droughtC.unscientific ways of trying to foretell the weatherD.an improvement on ancient man“s method(2).The saying about onion is _.（分数：2.00）A.purely scientificB.rhyming nonsenseC.clever verseD.somewhat more sensible(3).The man who coined the glowworm rhyme probably noticed they lit up _.（分数：2.00）
30、A.when it was darkB.in the rainC.in certain seasonsD.in damp weather(4).In the spider rhyme, the weather is breaking could mean _.（分数：2.00）A.a weather change for the worseB.an improvement in the weatherC.the sun will break through the cloudsD.any of the above(5).The frog could be said to indicate _.
31、（分数：2.00）A.fine weatherB.cold weatherC.rainD.all of the above五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When you speak on the telephone, you cannot use your facial (面部的) expression, eye contact and gestures to help communicate your message. Your voice must do the job. A good voice is pleasant to listen to because
32、 it communicates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice: Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information. Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your messages without your having to repeat i
33、t. Keep in mind that as you speak the other person may be taking notes. Pronunciation is the correct way to say a word. To avoid mispronouncing (读错音) words, you may wish to check the pronunciation of unfamiliar words in the dictionary before you use them. People with an accent unlike yours may not u
34、nderstand your pronunciation of some words. You also may not understand the pronunciation of some of their words. In these cases, careful pronunciation is very important for effective communication. You may need to repeat or spell words that are unusual or easy to be misunderstood.（分数：10.00）(1).When
35、 speaking on the phone, the essential factor for successful communication is your _.（分数：2.00）A.voiceB.gestureC.eye contactD.facial expression(2).To give important information, a person speaking on the phone should _.（分数：2.00）A.keep a pleasant mannerB.use familiar wordsC.lower the voiceD.speak louder
36、(3).The speaker is advised to speak slowly in order to help the listener to _.（分数：2.00）A.remember some wordsB.repeat the informationC.check the messageD.take some notes(4).To avoid mispronouncing unfamiliar words, you are advised to _.（分数：2.00）A.check them in a dictionaryB.pronounce them loudlyC.use
37、 other words insteadD.ask others for help(5).Speakers sometimes need to spell some words to help listeners to understand _.（分数：2.00）A.long sentencesB.unusual wordsC.difficult questionsD.important expressions六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In everyday usage “hot“ means “having a lot of heat“. Many peo
38、ple think that “cold“ is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. Cold simple means “having very little heat“. Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from
39、 the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible. Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun“s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat. Heat has made civilizat
40、ion possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engines can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.
41、Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. “What is it?“ they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.（分数：10.00）(1).In everyday usage, “hot“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.the weather is fine and it is
42、 summerB.one has a temperatureC.having a great deal of heatD.very little heat(2).Your life depends on heat. The sentence means _.（分数：2.00）A.in the cold season human beings will dieB.one usually builds his life on fireC.the more heat one has, the betterD.it is impossible for man to live without heat(
43、3).He has been able to release the sun“s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. From this sentence we know _.（分数：2.00）A.man can get heat from things like wood, coal and oilB.man can not get the heat directly from the sunC.only wood, coal and oil have heatD.all the sun“s heat is t
44、rapped in things(4).Which of the following is true?（分数：2.00）A.Without engines civilization is impossible.B.Without engines we have no industrial civilization.C.Engine came before civilization.D.Engines came before man knew how to use heat.(5).From the last two sentences, we can see _.（分数：2.00）A.men
45、have never found the nature of heatB.men found the nature of heat in the 17th centuryC.men found the nature of heat in the 19th centuryD.men found the nature of heat before the 19th century七、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective
46、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 with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We
47、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 suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “This can be a serious problem of employers“, explains Alan Conrad,
48、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 of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of u
49、ncertainty 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 increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous h
