Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 30 Complaining about faulty goods or bad service is never easy. Most people dislike making a

12、fuss. But if something you have bought is (31) _ or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking (32) a favour to get it put right. It is the shopkeepers responsibility (33) take the complaint seriously and to replace or repair a faulty article or put right poor service, because he is the

13、 person with(34) _ you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may have a part to play but that comes later. Complaints should be made to a responsible (35) _. Go back to the shop (36)_you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. Ask to see the owner in a large store. In

14、a small (37) _the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly. In a chain store ask to see the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find (38) _ who dealt with the complaint later. Even the bravest person finds it (39

15、) _to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick(40) _ the facts and keep a copy of what you write. (41) _ this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the

16、article. If you are not satisfied (42) _the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. (43) _ sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive. If your (44) _ is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to replace or repair

17、 the faulty article. You may find this an attractive solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the (45) _ and ask for your money back, but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once.

20、s an article simply because you dont like it or it does (50) _ fit. He does not have to take back the goods in these circumstances. Part A Directions: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 Every profes

21、sion or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to refer to things or processes which have no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in expression. Such special dialects, or jargon, are necessary in technical discus

22、sion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees of the particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are very properly incl

23、uded in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts and other occupations, such as farming a

24、nd fishing, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fibre of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabulari

25、es are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, and philosophy have also become pretty familiar to cultivated person, and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet, every vocation still possesses a large b

26、ody of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political sciences and in the mechanic arts. Hence new terms are coined with the greatest freedo

27、m, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a closed guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of

28、 science, and the cleric associates freely with his fellow creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called popular science makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent-discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial

29、laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus, our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace. 51 The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to

30、_. （ A） describe a phenomenon （ B） argue about a belief （ C） propose a solution （ D） stimulate an action 52 By saying that technical terms “on the outskirts of the English language than. “, the writer implies that_. （ A） they are used in the urban areas （ B） they are used in the rural areas （ C） the

31、y do not constitute the core of common speech （ D） they are not understood by English farmers 53 When the author refers to professions as no longer being “closed guilds“, he means that （ A） it is much easier to become a professional today than it was in the past （ B） there is more social intercourse

32、 between professionals and others （ C） popular science has told her secrets to the world （ D） anyone can now understand anything in a profession 54 It seems that the passage implies_. （ A） the English language is always becoming larger and larger （ B） the words of the English language are always cha

33、nging （ C） one can never be sure what a word means without consulting an expert （ D） technical terms in most non-scientific fields have little chance of becoming part of the main body of the language in these scientific days 55 What may be the best title of this passage? （ A） The Benefits of Some Jo

34、bs. （ B） Professions and Their Terms. （ C） Different Occupations. （ D） The Development of the English Language. 55 It was a cold, rainy and wholly miserable afternoon in Washington, and a hot muggy night in Miami. It was Sunday, and three games were played in the two cities. The people playing them

35、and the people watching them tell us much about the ever-changing ethnic structure of the United States. American males are more addicted to sports than females are, but not by a huge margin. Females are more addicted to the theatre and concert halls than males are, but not by a huge margin. In our

36、electronic age, addicts and experts alike can be couch potatoes, enjoying their entertainments from the comfort of home. Tree fans get off their butts and go. The three games in the two cities on that miserable Sunday afternoon had respective attendances of 75, 061, 67, 204 and 57, 318. The biggest

37、crowd watched professional football, in which the Washington Redskins were beaten by the Baltimore Ravens. The crowds sat in the cold and rain, and most of them endured the weather to the bitter end because the outcome of the game was in doubt. Professional football in the United States is almost wh

38、olly played by native-born American citizens, mostly very large and very strong, many of them black. It is a game of physical strength. Linemen routinely weigh more than 300 pounds. Players are valued for their weight and muscles, for how fast they can run, and how hard they can hit each other. Foot

39、ball draws the biggest crowds, but the teams play only once a week, because they get so battered. The 67, 204 fans were in Miami for the final game of the baseball World Series. Baseball was once Americas favourite game, but has lost that claim to basketball. The 1997 World Series was much reviled i

40、n the news media of the largest cities, mostly because they had been shut out of it. NBC, which broadcast the Series, wished loudly that it hadnt. Despite all the bad press, every game was sold out and double the tickets could have been sold had the stadiums accommodated more people. Baseball is a g

41、ame that requires strength, but not hugeness. Agility, quickness, perfect vision and quick reaction are more important than pure strength. Baseball was once a purely American game, but has spread around much of the New World. In that Sundays finale, the final hit of the extra inning game was deliver

42、ed by a native of Columbia. The Most Valuable Player in the game was a native of Cuba. The rosters of both teams were awash with Hispanic names, as is Miami, which now claims the World Championship is a game that may be losing popularity in America, but has gained it in much of the rest of the world

43、. Baseball in A-merica has taken on a strong Hispanic flavor, with a dash of Japanese added for seasoning. In soccer, the ethnic tide has been the reverse of baseballs. Until recently, professional soccer in the United States had largely been an import, played by south Americans and Europeans. Now,

44、American citizens in large numbers are finally taking up the most popular game in the world. Basketball, an American invention increasingly played around the world, these days draws large crowds back home. Likewise, hockey, a game largely imported to the United States from neighbouring Canada. Lacro

45、sse, a version of which was played by Native Americans before the Europeans arrived, is also gaining a keen national following. Sports of all kinds are winning support from American armchair enthusiasts from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. 56 It can be inferred that the football game was played in

46、_ on that Sunday afternoon. （ A） Washington （ B） Miami （ C） Baltimore （ D） Colorado 57 What is “revile“(paragraph 4, sentence 3) most likely to mean? （ A） Praise. （ B） Expose. （ C） Abuse. （ D） Admire. 58 All of the following except_are very important in baseball. （ A） muscles （ B） quick reaction （ C

47、） good eyesight （ D） agility 59 _is the most popular game in America. （ A） Football （ B） Baseball （ C） Basketball （ D） Soccer 60 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Football teams play only once a week, because football players need time to recover from each matc

48、h. （ B） The 1997 world series of baseball were reviled in news media because the games are played in closed fields. （ C） Most of the players in baseball game played in Miami came from South America. （ D） Hocky was an American invention which has gained the popularity in the world. 60 Car makers have

49、 long used sex to sell their products. Recently, however, both BMW and Renault have based their latest European marketing campaigns around the icon of modern biology. BMWs campaign, which launches its new 3-series sports saloon in Britain and Ireland, shows the new creation and four of its earlier versions zigzagging around a landscape made up of giant DNA sequences, with a brief explanation that DNA is the molecule responsible for the inheritance of such f
