Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three c
20、haracteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements i
21、n relations with other people, but usually it does not. A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in her own reactions than is a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to. “The awareness
22、of being unclear“ is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do n
23、ot know how some system or organization works, or they can“t be sure of different people“s roles in what is going on. “It“s like I just got here from the moon.“ a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “Things are just so different here.“（分数：10.00）(1).The passage mainl
24、y tells us _.（分数：2.00）A.that it“s not easy to travel abroadB.that humor is very important in communicationC.some skills in dealing with foreignersD.the importance of communicating with foreigners(2).According to the passage, what characteristic should be focused on?_（分数：2.00）A.Patience.B.The awarene
25、ss of being unclear.C.The sense of humor.D.Understanding each other.(3).“The awareness of being unclear“ (Line 1, Para. 4) refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.knowing the meaning of an exact situationB.not stating clearly what happensC.realizing the possible misunderstanding in a situationD.being aware of the un
26、clear situation(4).According to the writer, the Chinese student is _.（分数：2.00）A.a hard working studentB.recently back from the moonC.interested in the study of moonD.not used to the culture in America(5).Which of the following can best sum up the passage?_（分数：2.00）A.It is necessary to learn the lang
27、uage before you go to the country.B.Americans are used to the culture of other countries.C.One needs many characteristics to live in another country.D.To live in a foreign land one should get fully prepared.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at
28、 large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces almost every company which is trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little chance of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term loan, they are generall
29、y not willing to provide money for long term projects for a long time. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this by releasing stocks and shares in the business through the stock exchang
30、e. By doing so they can put into good use the savings of individuals and institutions. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a broker to some other saver who is seeking to input his money. Ma
31、ny of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the government of the local authorities. Without hospital, roads, telephones, railway, this country could not run on. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore often need to borrow money to fi
32、nance major spending, and they, too, come to the stock exchange.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, _.（分数：2.00）A.big companies also need to develop new productsB.it is cheap to get loans from the local authoritiesC.the government sometimes gets loan from individualsD.the stock market is a good w
33、ay to get money(2).Almost all companies need to _.（分数：2.00）A.rely on their own financial resourcesB.ask the bank for more loansC.depend on the public to get more moneyD.borrow much money from other companies(3).The phrase “short-term loan“ means _.（分数：2.00）A.the money that will be received within a
34、few daysB.the money that will be made within a few daysC.the money to be returned within a short timeD.the money to be saved in a few days(4).When the savers want their money back, they _.（分数：2.00）A.sell the shares to someone who needs themB.sell the shares to the original companyC.go to the origina
35、l company and sell the sharesD.go to the bank and exchange the shares(5).We can conclude from the passage that the stock exchange _.（分数：2.00）A.borrows money from different organizationsB.helps raise money both for the government and industryC.raises money for individuals as well as the governmentD.i
36、s run by the government or local authorities五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The deadly plague of 1348-1349, commonly called the black death , added to the horrors of the Hundred Years“ War. It originated in Italy and soon spread to France, Germany and England. Those who were stricken with it usually
37、died in two or three days. A careful estimate shows that in England one half of the population died of this disease. Up to this time the majority of those who cultivated the land in England had been serfs (农奴) and tenant-peasants. The tenants belonged to some particular manor, paid stated dues to an
38、d performed definite services for their lords. The serfs lived an even worse life. They had to work on the nobles“ lands for more than half of the year. They had to pay countless dues. They had to give a certain portion of anything they got to their lords. The feudal nobles“ extravagant life was bas
39、ed on the hard labour and suffering of the tenants and serfs. The effect of the black death soon made itself felt. Unattached labourers began to demand higher wages. When not satisfied, they repeatedly deserted one employer after another until their demand was fulfilled. The serfs also demanded refo
40、rm and improvement of their conditions. To seek a better chance or life, serfs began to run away from their masters in increasing numbers, for they could easily get employment once they had got away. Labour was needed everywhere.（分数：10.00）(1).What does “the black death“ in Paragraph 1 refer to in th
41、is passage?_（分数：2.00）A.It was a kind of disease.B.It was a war.C.It was a tax form.D.It was a cruel lord.(2).Where did the black death begin?_（分数：2.00）A.France.B.Germany.C.Italy.D.England.(3).We can infer from this passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the Hundred Years“ War was a civil war in EnglandB.the Hund
42、red Years“ War ended in 1348C.the Hundred Years“ War sped up the decline of feudalismD.the Hundred Years“ War was a war between England and Germany(4).Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?_（分数：2.00）A.The main labor force in England in the Midl4th century was made up of serfs a
43、nd tenant-peasants.B.The tenants who paid stated dues to their lords lived a worse life than serfs.C.The noble“s extravagant life was based on the hard labour of the tenants and serfs.D.The black death happened during the Hundred Years“ War.(5).Why did laborers begin to demand higher wages?_（分数：2.00
44、）A.Because they realized the social system was unfair.B.Because they could no longer bear the miserable life.C.Because the lords oppressed more cruelly.D.Because there was a shortage of labor.六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I knew a man, a very tall, gentle man who visited prisoners in our local priso
45、n week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them, carry messages, fetch clothing or books. But mainly he just offered himself. He did not preach (说教) to them. and didn“t look for any return on his kindness. All that mattered was that they were in trouble. Why did he spend time wit
46、h them when he could have been playing golf or watching TV? “I go in ease everyone else has lost hope for them,“ he told me once. “I never give up.“ Never giving up is a trait we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. If you struggle b
47、ravely against overwhelming opponents, you“re likely to appear on the evening news. But in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, fidelity (忠诚) to a mission or a person or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us. It shows up in parents who will not stop loving their daughter even after
48、she dyes her hair purple and runs off with a rock band. It shows up in couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of end in divorce. It shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library or women“s refuge or soup kitchen for the hungry. It shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job
49、s well, not because the leader is watching or because they are paid lots of money but because they know their work matters.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the purpose of the first paragraph?_（分数：2.00）A.To illustrate that the prisoners should not be looked clown upon.B.To give an example of “never giving up“.C.
