18、t we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a rec
19、ord of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4 000 y
20、ears ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know somethin
21、g of the past. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history“. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in spe
22、ech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.41 Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?_.（A）Remembered history, compared with written history, is less reliable（B） Written records of the past plays a most impo
23、rtant role in our learning of the human history（C） A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer any questions（D）Where there are no written records, there is no history42 We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because_.（A）there was nothing worth being wr
24、itten down at that time（B） the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record（C） the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire（D）the people there had not known how to write43 “Remembered history“refers to_.（A）history based on a persons imagination（B） stories of important happenings p
25、assed down from mouth to mouth（C） songs and dances about the most important events（D）both B and C44 “Remembered history“is regarded as valuable only when_.（A）it is written down（B） no written account is available（C） it proves to be true（D）people are interested in it45 It can be inferred from the pass
26、age that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had_.（A）kept a written record of every past event（B） not burnt their written records in wars（C） told exact stories of the most important happenings（D）made more songs and dances45 “Twenty years ago, if you were Ch
27、inese and were looking for a job in one of Hong Kongs large business companies, you would have needed to brush up your English for the interview, because in those days you could be very sure the interview would be in English. “The panel might consist of two“Expatriates“and two Chinese, but they woul
28、d all use English in the interview.Things have changed considerably these days in Hong Kong. As 1997 approaches, the day to day spoken language of business in many of the large companies is Chinese(i. e. Cantonese, the language of Hong Kong). English is used only when necessary, for instance when de
29、aling with “foreigners “by which is meant not simply native speakers of English, American, British Canadians, Australians and others, but also businessmen and women from other Asian countries like Japan, India, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, and from European countries like Germany,
30、 France and Holland.In addition, a new important factor in the business language equation of Hong Kong is the increasing importance of Mandarin, the link language of Mainland China. Hong Kongs business life increasingly depends on its being a through-port between China and the world and as the date
31、of Chinas takeover of Hong Kong approaches, more Mandarin speaking Chinese are coming to Hong Kong to do business. This puts new pressure on the local Cantonese to learn Mandarin.With localization of top management in Hong Kong companies going ahead very fast, the days are gone when a bright young m
32、anager, with his London MBA and maybe good Scottish family connections, could come to Hong Kong and sail into a job, after a cursory interview conducted in English by a wholly expatriate interview panel. Nowadays the panel is likely to consist of sophisticated Chinese, with their Harvard MBA and goo
33、d Hong Kong family connections, and this panel will be looking for good Mandarin as much as good manners.46 In the first paragraph the word“ expatriate“ refers to_.（A）expert（B） director（C） foreigner（D）English47 Why do local Cantonese learn Mandarin?（A）For international trade.（B） To go to the mainlan
34、d.（C） For the reintegration.（D）For the development of their business.48 How will the panel be composed after 1997?（A）Mainly English directors.（B） Mainly Chinese directors.（C） Experts with London MBA.（D）Persons with Hong Kong family connects.49 What will be expected for a business manager?（A）A good M
35、andarin.（B） Good manners.（C） Higher educational background.（D）All of the above.50 The passage implies_.（A）Hong Kong plays an important part in the trade between China and the world（B） Cantonese is the official language of Hong Kong（C） English is the mostly-used language in business（D）Mandarin is as
36、important as English in business50 “Dont trust anyone over 30“ was a catchword(口号)of the youth culture in the past decades. Now that saying is being turned on its head as America undergoes a transformation from a society for youth into a nation in which middle-aged and elderly people set the pace by
37、 mere force of number. For the first time in U. S. history, there are more people of 65 and over in the population than teenagers, and by 1990 the number of older citizens is expected to exceed 31 million, while the teenager population shrinks to 23 million.The rise of 30 and 40-olds means an expand
38、ing market of housing, furniture, computers and other high-tech goods. The increase in middle-aged Americans, along with the rise in families with both husband and wife working, forecasts an explosion of buying power as large numbers of people have more to spend.Further along on the age scale, a gro
39、wing market for luxury items and travel services among“ the active rich“ over 50 is found. Products aimed at this section range from magazines to sun glasses. These changes are bringing a new look to advertising. Couples with children as well as older people are now commonly shown in ads for everyth
40、ing from cars to frozen foods.Films are changing, too. Two recent box-office hits that appeal to an older audience deal with subjects of interest to adults. The aging of the population is also producing a drop in the crime rate. Studies show that young people are more likely to be lawbreakers. As th
41、eir numbers decrease, so does crime. Spending preferences are being affected. Researchers say that many communities are putting more emphasis on keeping property taxes down, even if that means spending less on schools. Schools have become less important and long-term health care more important as Am
42、erica becomes a society with fewer children and more old people.51 What is the main idea of the first paragraph?（A）People over 30 play the leading role in society because of their maturity and experience.（B） The generation gap between the young and the old in the US has become even greater today.（C）
43、 American society is shifting from being youth-centered to older-people-centered.（D）Dont trust anyone under 30is the new catchword of the American people.52 Which of the following can be learned from Para. 2?（A）People over 50 spend less money on luxury items.（B） Young people have become more economi
44、c because they earn less money.（C） The increase of older generations has helped growth of American economy.（D）Middle-aged or elderly models are more welcome in American commercials today.53 The aging of American society has resulted in_.（A）peoples greater concern about public health care（B） old peop
45、les increasing interests in high-tech goods（C） more crimes being committed by senior citizens（D）communities growing overlook of education54 The main idea of the passage is that_.（A）America is entering an ever-aging society（B） age plays a more important role in America（C） many sayings have been given
46、 a new meaning（D）Americas aging process is reshaping the society55 It is implied but not stated in the passage that_.（A）quantity is an important factor（B） families are better off with working wives（C） middle-aged people are more attractive on TV（D）crime is associated with peoples age55 Usually the p
47、rimary purpose of textbook writing is to inform. In textbooks, authors well-informed in a particular subject or discipline identify the terms, facts, and opinions considered essential to an understanding of the field. While authors personal interests play a role in what terms or facts are selected a
48、nd how they are interpreted, the writing bears a primary or central goal which is not to persuade you to see things from the same perspective. In fact, textbook authors frequently give equal time to opposing points of view so that readers can draw their own conclusion.However, as you turn from your
49、textbooks to the pages of newspapers and magazines, you may encounter writers with other primary goals. Some write to entertain; others write simply to air a personal preference. However, a good portion of the writers you encounter, particularly on the editorial(社论)pages, write in the hope that you will share or
