2、 your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.（分数：10.00）_Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective

3、is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is

4、completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyones satisfaction. Slight problems may begin for a man when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman always tries to sell the customer something elsehe offers the near

5、est he can to the article required. Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round“. She is always open to persua

6、sion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. Upper-most in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are alw

7、ays on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most d

8、ress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（分数：10.00）(1).When a man buys clothes, _.（分数：2.00）A.he buys good quality things without a second considerationB.he buys right size things without trying them onC.he does not mind very much how much he has to pay for the right thingsD.he chooses thin

13、age arrangement wherein the husband and his career are the primary considerations in the marriage. By the end of the 1970s, for example, considerably less than half of the women in the United States still believed that they would put their husbands and children ahead of their own careers. More and m

14、ore American women have come to believe that they should be equal partners rather than junior partners in their marriages. This stage of marriage, although not typical of most American marriage, at present, will grow most rapidly in the future. In an equal partnership marriage the wife pursues a ful

15、l-time job or career which has equal importance to her husbands. The long-standing division of labor between husband and wife comes to an end. The husband is no longer the main provider of family income, and the wife no longer has the main responsibilities for household duties and raising children.

16、Husband and wife share all these duties equally. Power over family decisions is also shared equally. The rapid change in womens attitudes toward marriage in the 1970s reflected rapid change in the larger society. The Womens Liberation movement appeared in the late 1960s, demanding an end to all form

17、s of sexual discrimination against females. An Equal Rights amendment to the U. S. Constitution was proposed which would make any form of discrimination on the basis of sex illegal, and though it has failed to be ratified, it continues to have millions of supporters.（分数：10.00）(1).During the late 196

18、0s many women disliked the marriage_.（分数：2.00）A.that made them have no family dutiesB.that put their husbands in an absolute positionC.wherein they were just servants to their husbandsD.wherein their husbands had no say in family matters(2).According to the passage, which type of marriage is the mos

20、ldrenB.the families want to earn more money to maintain their high standard of livingC.womens desire for equality with their husbands is becoming stronger and strongerD.women want to get an opportunity to get rid of their family responsibilities(4).Which of the following is TRUE according to the pas

21、sage?（分数：2.00）A.Many people are for the idea that any form of discrimination on the basis of sex should be considered illegal.B.The Womens Liberation movement protested against all forms of discrimination.C.The institution of marriage in the United States has experienced many stages of development.D

22、.The American ideal of equality has affected not only marriage but also the relationships between men and women, adults and children.(5).The word “ratified“ in the last sentence can be replaced by_.（分数：2.00）A.rewrittenB.disagreed onC.analyzedD.approvedThe fiddler crab is a living clock. It indicates

23、 the time of day by the color of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crabs changing skin color follows a regular twenty-four-hour cycle that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun. Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply respond to the suns rays, changing col

24、or according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight the crabs skin color continued to change precisely on schedule. This characteristic probably evolved in response to the rhythm of the sun, to help protect the

25、crab from sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated inside the living body of the crab. The biologists noticed that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this occurs fifty minutes later than on the day before. From th

26、is they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides. The crabs period of greatest darkening is precisely the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!（分数：10.00）(1).The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes color_.（分数：2.00）A.in a regu

27、lar 24-hour rhythmB.in response to the suns raysC.at low tideD.every fifty minutes(2).The crabs changing color_ .（分数：2.00）A.tells the crab what time it isB.protects the crab from the sunlightC.keeps the crab warmD.is of no real use(3).When the fiddler crabs were kept in the dark, they_.（分数：2.00）A.di

29、 selection is_.（分数：2.00）A.Discoveries in BiologyB.The Rhythmic Cycles of the Sun and TideC.A Scientific StudyD.A Living ClockWhen we think of creative people the names that probably spring to mind are those of men such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Pablo Picasso, i. e. , great artists,

30、inventors and scientistsa select and exceptionally gifted body of men with rare talent and genius. The tendency to regard creativity and imaginative thinking as the exclusive province of a lucky few disregards the creative and imaginative aspects inherent in the solution of many of the tasks we regu

31、larly have to facethe discovery and development of new methods and techniques, the improvement of old methods, existing inventions and products. Everyone has creative ability to some extent. Creative thinking involves posing oneself a problem and then originating or inventing a solution along new an

32、d unconventional lines. It involves drawing new analogies, discovering new combinations, and new applications of things that are already known. It follows, then, that a creative person will exhibit great intellectual curiosity and imagination. He will be alert and observant with a great store of inf

33、ormation which he will be able to sort out and combine, in the solution of problem. He will be emotionally receptive to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications. Most important of all, he will be able to communicate uninhibitedly and will not be to

34、o concerned about other peoples reaction to his apparently “crazy“ notions. People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft.（分数：10.00）(1).The author believes that creative thinking_.（分数：2.00）A.is only possessed

35、by great artistsB.requires rare talent and geniusC.is needed in the solution of many problemsD.belongs to a lucky few(2).In order to solve scientific problems, people_.（分数：2.00）A.must possess crazy notionsB.should not be interested in factsC.should express themselves clearlyD.should not be afraid of

37、er themD.which are interesting(5).In this passage, “unconventional“ (in Para. 2) means_.（分数：2.00）A.not politicalB.unacceptableC.not ordinaryD.uninhibitedUnder normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and the other who receives the commun

38、ication. 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 must begin with

39、 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 rely solely on sig

40、ht, 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 blind, deaf and du

41、mb 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 mentioned so far h

42、ave 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：10.00）(1).In the authors opinion, the reception of communication should be dealt with first because_.（分数：2.00）A.communi

43、cation 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 an example of_.（分
