18、eives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs and symbols which means the same to the sender and the receiver. The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification. Therefore, the analysis
19、 must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses, of which sight, hearing and touch play the most important roles. Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that re
20、ly solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by hand-stroking. Although a highly developed system of hand-stroking has enabled bl
21、ind, deaf and dumb persons to communicate intelligently, whistling to someone, applauding in a theatre, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language. The means of communication me
22、ntioned so far have two features in communication: they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.（分数：12.50）(1).In the author“s opinion, the reception of communication should be dealt with first because _.
23、（分数：2.50）A.communication depends on a conventional system of signs and symbolsB.only through our senses, can we communicateC.to classify the means of sending communications is a very difficult taskD.there are more means of receiving than of sending communications(2).Gesture is specially mentioned as
24、 an example of _.（分数：2.50）A.communication by languageB.communication by mimicryC.auditory communicationD.visual communication(3).Which of the following statements about communication by hearing is true?（分数：2.50）A.Communication by hearing is more important than communication by sight.B.Whistling and
25、applauding are the only two forms of communication by hearing.C.Handshaking, as well as hand-stroking, has enabled the blind to communicate by hearing.D.It is possible to communicate intelligently by hearing.(4).According to the passage alone, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?（分数：2.50）A
26、.The spoken language is the most highly developed form of auditory communication.B.Normally, the act of communication requires the presence of at least three persons.C.The means of communication mentioned in the passage last only for a moment.D.Fire, smoke, flags and flashing lights can all be signa
27、ls of visual communication.(5).What is the passage mainly about?（分数：2.50）A.Spoken is the best way of communication.B.Reception of communication can be achieved by our sight, hearing and touch, and these means of communication have two features in common.C.In communication a conventional system of si
28、gns and symbols means the same to the sender and receiver.D.The means of communication are restricted in time and space.四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.50)The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about 4000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves p
29、lacing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them. To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to
30、put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this o
31、peration requires only 3 or 4 needles. Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
32、 A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation because the chemical may make the pati
33、ent sick for a few hours a day.（分数：12.50）(1).Acupuncture can be defined as _.（分数：2.50）A.a medical techniqueB.a medical needleC.a medical operationD.a medical machine(2).All the statements are true about the performer of acupuncture EXCEPT “_“.（分数：2.50）A.He knows where the operation is to be performe
34、dB.He knows where to place the needles without painC.He knows how to use the needles in an operationD.He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient(3).To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person _.（分数：2.50）A.around one monthB.a couple of daysC.a life timeD.several hours(4).It can
35、be learned from the passage that _.（分数：2.50）A.more patients prefer chemicals to acupunctureB.an operation in the past needs more needles than nowC.acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 6000 yearsD.Chinese doctors have developed a convincing theory about acupuncture(5).Which is implied but
36、not stated in the passage?（分数：2.50）A.The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.B.Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.C.The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D.The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupunct
37、ure.五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)The old Volkswagen Beetle “The Bug“ is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don“t own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It“s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn“t even make them a
38、nymore! A spokesman for Volkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs“ on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running. Used car dealers say they can“t keep “Bugs“
39、on their lots these days. They feel it“s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas. But all hasn“t been smooth going for the “Bugs“. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger ea
40、rs tend to splash it with winter“s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.（分数：12.50）(1).American people like to have a “Bug“ _.（分数：2.50）
41、A.because it is no more in productionB.because it is reliable and energy-savingC.because it is remarkable and easy to driveD.because it is safe(2).According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?（分数：2.50）A.“Bugs“ are more popular than other ears in America.B.“Bugs“ are now produc

43、n the safety fieldD.people from National Highway Traffic Administration(4).What is the problem With a “Bug“?（分数：2.50）A.It does not go smoothly.B.It is not comfortable in winter.C.It splashes mud and water.D.It travels too slowly.(5).What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Saf

They seldom need a
45、 referee(裁判)and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don“t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn“t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in
46、 stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find children“s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However
47、, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he call find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be conf
48、ident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importa
49、ntly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.（分数：12.50）(1).What is true about children when they play games?（分数：2.50）A.They can stop playing any time they like.B.They can test their personal abilities.C.They want to pick up a better team.D.They don“t need rules.
