15、s, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good ide

16、a to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr.

17、 Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is “Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years.“ It is to say that we can learn more in differe

18、nt places than we can learn from books.（分数：17.00）(1).The people in ancient times couldnt travel too far away places because_.（分数：4.25）A.they found it no use doing soB.they liked staying at homeC.there was no modern transportationD.they were forbidden to go to other countries(2).The reason why people

19、 like to fly today is that_.（分数：4.25）A.it is interestingB.it is cheaper than to go in any other wayC.it can cross the wide oceansD.it takes less time(3).The modern people like traveling now because_.（分数：4.25）A.it can bring us more knowledgeB.it can make us richC.they have too much moneyD.it is a goo

20、d idea(4).The Chinese saying means“_”.（分数：4.25）A.the farther a man goes, the more treasures he getsB.the more a man sees, the more knowledge he getsC.travelling is more interesting than readingD.the farther a man goes, the more hooks he reads六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The other day I heard an Amer

21、ican say to a Chinese student of English “You speak very good English.“ But the student answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.“ The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes indeed, you speak

22、English very well.“ But the Chinese student still kept saying “No“. In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. Whats wrong with the students answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said “Thank you“ instead of “No“. He ac

23、tually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said “Thank you“, that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say “Thank you“. If someone says to a Woman “You loo

24、k so beautiful with the new clothes on“, she should be very happy and answer “Thank you“. In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say “No, Im afraid I cant do it well“, then the others will take it for granted that you real

25、ly cannot do it. If you often say “No“, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like “Let me have a try on the job“ instead of “Yes, I can certainly do it,“ he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Wi

26、thout self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.（分数：15.00）(1).Why was the American surprised at the Chinese students answer?（分数：3.75）A.Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.B.Because

27、 he could hardly hear what the student had said.C.Because he wouldnt like others to say “No“.D.Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.(2).According to the western culture, if one is given a compliment, he or she should say“_”.（分数：3.75）A.Pardo

28、nB.Thank youC.Excuse meD.Yes, thanks a lot(3).Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something like “Yes, I can certainly do it“?（分数：3.75）A.Because to get the job he should give an impression that hes just fit for the job.B.Because he is not modest.C.Because he could do nothing but speak

29、that way.D.Because he was eager to get the jo(4).What does the passage tell us?（分数：3.75）A.Confidence is more important than modesty.B.How to accept compliments given by westerners.C.The Chinese people are modest while westerners are confident.D.The western cultur七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Nine-y

33、en a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog arrived at his lab. A few days after Pasteurs treatment the boy got better.

39、sition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forests the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazons rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well.: In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the

40、Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute

41、,25 to 50 acres are cut down or burnt to the ground.The worlds growing population has been a primary reason of rain forests destruction.
