9、 often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few resp

10、onsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child thing

11、s that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he

12、 can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his

13、 parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. （分数：10.00）(1).According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _. （分数：2.00）A.life for a child is comparatively

14、easyB.a child is always loved whatever he doesC.if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD.only children are interested in life(2).After a child grows up, he_. （分数：2.00）A.will have little time playingB.has to be successful in finding a jobC.can still ask for help in time of trouble

15、D.should be able to take care of himself(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? （分数：2.00）A.People are often satisfied with their life.B.Life is less interesting for old people.C.Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D.Adults should no longer rely on others.(

16、4).The main idea of the passage is that _. （分数：2.00）A.life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB.young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC.childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifeD.one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life(5).The paragr

17、aph following the passage will most probably discuss _. （分数：2.00）A.examples of successful young menB.how to build up ones position in societyC.joys and pains of old peopleD.what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2 Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and

18、 to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one. Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling i

19、n, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How of

20、ten we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all! Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behav

21、e exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has re

22、vealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves. （分数：10.00）(1).Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _. （分数：2.00）A.distortedB.normalC.similar to each otherD.different from its o

23、wn(2).One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will _. （分数：2.00）A.find out what its people are likeB.argue in favor of this country and the languageC.know the country and its people betterD.like its inhabitants and their language(3).The knowledge one gains by traveling in a forei

24、gn county is often _. （分数：2.00）A.from second-hand informationB.gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC.gained from the arguments about the countryD.different from what one had before the travel(4).Differences between peoples _. （分数：2.00）A.will gradually disappear because of ease of tr

25、avelB.do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC.will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD.will not exist as one hopes(5).The underlined word “However” most probably means _. （分数：2.00）A.somewhatB.by whatever meansC.anyhowD.no matter whatPassage 3 We ar

26、ranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahyas cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakis

27、tan plane would fly him over the mountains to China. Kissingers trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters cove

28、ring him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment. Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we woul

29、d have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word Eureka which he would use if his mission were successful. On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word

30、, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived. “Whats the message?” I asked. “Eureka,” he replied. （分数：10.00）(1).Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because _. （分数：2.00）A.he happened to have a stomachacheB.he needed a rest after a long journeyC.he had a secret mission to perform thereD.he did

31、 not want to be seen by the press(2).The reporters in Islamabad believed that _. （分数：2.00）A.Kissinger was not feeling wellB.Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC.Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD.Kissinger was preparing to entertain them(3).The statement “everything went without a hitch”

32、 (Para.2) most probably means that _. （分数：2.00）A.nothing was easy with the missionB.the plans were carried out with great difficultyC.things went smoothlyD.there was no possibility of success(4).There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _. （分数：2.00）A.his trip had to b

33、e kept secretB.President Yahya did not go with KissingerC.communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD.the negotiation(谈判) was not successful(5).The passage implies that Kissingers message “Eureka” was sent _. （分数：2.00）A.when the negotiation started in BeijingB.as soon as he arrived in

34、 WashingtonC.when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D.when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4 No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American p

35、apers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde

36、 is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, whic

37、h feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do

38、they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-

39、known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture. As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than on

40、ce bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War. （分数：10.00）(1).There are fewer national newspapers in _. （分数：2.00）A.Britain than in the U.S.A.B.France than in BritainC.the U.S.

41、A. than in Britain or FranceD.France than in the U.S.A. or Britain(2).Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because _. （分数：2.00）A.they have to keep up a good relation with themB.they have to compete with televisionC.they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD.they have to give f

42、actual news in an interesting way(3).Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by _. （分数：2.00）A.supporting extremist groups from time to timeB.inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC.avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD.printing articl

43、es representing different political viewpoints(4).In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means _. （分数：2.00）A.a machine for printingB.the business of printingC.great forceD.newspapers(5).The passage is mainly about _. （分数：2.00）A.the characteristics of American newspapersB.the developmen

44、t of American newspapersC.the functions of American newspapersD.the merits and shortcomings of American newspapers三、Part III Cloze (10 p(总题数：1，分数：10.00)If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mothers side than on you fathers side, it is no surprise to researchers at

45、the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents（外祖父母）are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents（祖父母）. They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolut

46、ion are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters, 44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers. Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus ma

47、ternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.” The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a fe

48、w times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents. Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, we found 50 differences.
