(76) They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of commun
2、icating within their respective cultures. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.“ A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neit
3、her can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the nonlanguage elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English s
4、aying goes, seeing eye-to-eye.

8、anguag三、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, man has not realized that t
9、he third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home c
10、ountry found itself threatened by flood and starvation.(77) Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are us
11、ually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. (78) So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious,
12、for where there are trees their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed a-way easily. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the most impo
13、rtant function of trees?（分数：2.00）A.Providing fuel.B.Offering shade.C.Preventing natural disaster.D.Providing woo(2).What eventually happened to the empire according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Its people died of hunger.B.It fell to pieces.C.It became a giant empire.D.It built many ships with woo(3).It
14、 is implied in the passage that the villagers_.（分数：2.00）A.want a plentiful supply of treesB.want firewood badlyC.just want to get moneyD.dontrealize the importance of trees(4).The role of trees is to_.（分数：2.00）A.loosen soilB.keep soil in positionC.harden soilD.both A and B(5).What is the passage mai
15、nly concerned with?（分数：2.00）A.The benefits of trees.B.Trees and soil protection.C.The various uses of trees.D.Different attitudes toward trees.四、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the
16、 labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided
17、into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4, 800 pins a worker. (79) But if all o
18、f them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, (80) but he al
19、so took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.
20、（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to_.（分数：2.00）A.take advantage of the physical laborB.introduce the division of labor into EnglandC.understand the effects of the division of laborD.explain the bad causes of the division of labor(2).Adam Smith saw that the divis
21、ion of labor_.（分数：2.00）A.enabled each worker to design pins more quicklyB.increased the possible output per workerC.increased the number of people employed in factoriesD.improved the quality of pins produced(3).Adam Smith mentioned the number 4, 800 in order to_.（分数：2.00）A.show the advantages of the
22、 old labor systemB.stress how powerful the individual worker wasC.show the advantages of the division of laborD.stress the importance of increased production(4).According to the writer, Adam Smiths mistake was in believing that the division of labor_.（分数：2.00）A.was an efficient way of organizing wor
23、kB.was an important development in methods of productionC.finally led to economic developmentD.increased the production of existing goods(5).According to the author, which one of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins.B.Division of labor help
24、s people to produce more of what they already have.C.Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.D.Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.五、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：30，分数：30.00)1.She apologized for_to attend the meeting.
