Most people dislike making a fuss. But if something you have bought is (31) _ or does not do what was claime

11、d 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 person with(34) _ you have entered into an agreement. The manufacturer may hav

12、e 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 a small (37) _the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain directly.

13、 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) _to stand up in a group of people to complain, so if you do not want to do it

(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 article. If you are not satisfied (42) _the answer you get, or if you do not ge

19、 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 Male lions are rather reticent about expending their energy in hunting more than three-quar

20、ters of kills are made by lionesses. Setting off at dusk on a hunt, the lionesses are in front, tensely scanning ahead, the cubs lag playfully behind, and the males bring up the rear, walking slowly, their heads nodding with each step as if they are bored with the whole matter. But slothfulness may

21、have survival value. With lionesses busy hunting, the males function as guards for the cubs, protecting them particularly from hyenas. Hunting lionesses have learnt to take advantage of their environment. Darkness provides them with cover, and at dusk they often wait near animals they want to kill u

22、ntil their outlines blend into the surroundings. Small prey, such as gazelle, present lions with no problem. They are simply grabbed with the paws, or slapped down and finished off with a bite in the neck. A different technique is used with large animals, such as wild beast. Usually a lioness pulls

23、her prey down after running up behind it, and then seizes it by the throat, strangling it. Or she may place her mouth over the muzzle of a downed animal, and suffocate it. Lions practice remarkably sophisticated cooperative hunting techniques. Sighting prey, lionesses usually fan out and stalk close

24、r until one is within striking distance. The startled herd may scatter or blot to one side right into a hidden lioness. Sometimes lionesses surround their quarry. While perhaps three crouch and wait, a fourth may backtrack and then circle far around and approach from the opposite side, a technique n

25、ot unknown in human warfare. No obvious signals pass between the lions, other than that they watch one another. A tactic may also be adapted to a particular situation. One pride of lions often pursued prey at the end of narrow strip of land between two streams. Several lionesses would sit and wait u

26、ntil gazelle wandered into this natural dead-end. Then they would spread out and advance quite in the open, having learnt that the gazelle would not try to escape by running into the bush beside the river, but would run back the way they had come. A lioness has no trouble pulling down an animal of t

27、wice her weight. But a buffalo, which may scale a ton, presents problems. One lioness and a young bull battled for an hour and a half, the buffalo whirling around to face the cat with lowered horns whenever she came close. Finally she gave up and allowed him to walk away. But on another occasion, fi

28、ve males came across an old bull. He stood in a swamp, belly-deep in mud and water, safely facing his tormentors on the shore. Suddenly, inexplicably, he plodded towards them, intent it seemed on committing suicide. One lion grabbed his rump, another placed his paws on the bulls back and bit into th

29、e flesh. Slowly, without trying to defend himself, the buffalo sank to his knees and, with one lion holding his throat and another his muzzle, died of suffocation. 51 When the lions go out hunting for food, the males usually_. （ A） spend most of its energy guarding the family （ B） have the task of p

30、rotecting the young cubs from any attack （ C） help lionesses to strike at and kill the prey （ D） are too lazy to do anything 52 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? （ A） Lions usually come out in the early evening （ B） Male lions often act as attackers and killers when hunti

31、ng （ C） Lions do not use the same technique when hunting （ D） Female lions can kill animals twice their own weight 53 Hunting cooperatively, lions would try to catch their prey by_. （ A） seizing its throat first （ B） frightening it to death （ C） fighting single-handedly （ D） rounding it up first 54

32、The old buffalo was killed because_. （ A） he decided to commit suicide （ B） he was too old to fight back （ C） there were five lions against him （ D） he left the swamp 55 This passage best answers which of the following questions? （ A） How do lions hunt in the wilderness? （ B） Why are lions afraid of

33、 buffalo? （ C） What is the function of the male lion in the pride? （ D） How intelligent are animals in the cat family? 55 Most experts believe that an ever-increasing number of countries and terrorist groups will gain the technical capability to acquire and use chemical and biological weapons. But u

34、se of these weapons by hostile states or terrorist groups is not inevitable. Even when locked in bloody conventional wars, nations that have considered using these weapons have generally been deterred by the risk that their opponents would retaliate in the same way or escalate the conflict elsewhere

35、. Terrorist groups with the technical capacity to acquire and use a chemical or biological weapon have typically lacked an interest in doing so, while groups interested in such weapons have generally lacked the necessary technical skills. Assessing future threats, however, involves more than simple

36、extrapolation from past trends. In the case of chemical and biological weapons, it appears that the likelihood of use by both hostile states and terrorist groups is growing, and it is clear that even one such attack against an unprotected population could be devastating. Ironically, some experts bel

37、ieve that the technological superiority of the U. S. armed forces is heightening the long-term risks of chemical and biological weapon use by states that wish to challenge the international status quo through aggression. Hostile states that hope to have a fighting chance against a U. S. led military

38、 coalition, such as the one that defeated Iraq in 1991, may search for ways to compensate for the inferiority of their own conventional military forces. An obvious answer, and one of grave concern to U. S. military planners, is that such states might turn to an unconventional arsenal, most important

39、ly chemical and biological weapons. The threat of CBW use by terrorists is of an entirely different character. Terrorists have almost always chosen to kill fewer people than they are able to kill. The main reason is that traditional terrorist strategies seek to draw international attention to a caus

40、e without excessively antagonizing public opinion. For a variety of reasons this traditional model of terrorism appears to be changing in ways that make future acts of CBW terrorism more likely. Some terrorist groups appear to be increasingly interested in causing massive casualties, a phenomenon th

41、at may stem from a rise in religiously inspired acts of violence, the emergence of new, more fluid terrorist cells, and the perception that traditional, low-casualty terrorist acts have lost the capacity to focus public attention. To date only the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo has combined the technic

42、al capability with the lethal intent required to carry out an act of CBW terrorism. But national security experts are increasingly concerned that more hostile groups will follow Aum s precedent and will do so with greater effectiveness than the cult displayed. 56 What is the main topic of this passa

43、ge? （ A） The history of chemical and biological weapons. （ B） Terrorists and chemical and biological weapons. （ C） Conventional and unconventional wars. （ D） The use of chemical and biological weapons. 57 Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage? （ A） Argumentative. （ B）

44、Imaginative. （ C） Objective. （ D） Negative. 58 What is the main reason that some terrorists chose to kill a lot of people? （ A） They want to call more public attention. （ B） They have the chemical and biological weapons. （ C） They dont want to loathed by the public. （ D） They are Aum followers. 59 W

45、hat does “CBW“ represent? （ A） Casualties Blood War. （ B） Conventional Blood War. （ C） Concern Bomb Weapon. （ D） Chemical and Biological Weapons. 60 The word “be deterred by“ (in paragraph 1) means_. （ A） be retaliated by （ B） be prevented from （ C） be couraged by （ D） be interested in 60 It is inte

46、resting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and the United States. Americans divide these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and flesh, the two being in opposition in the life of a human being. Ideally spirit should prevail

47、 but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the other as evil. They believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle“ soul, the other is the “rough“ soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul.

48、Sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul, neither does he fight his rough soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropr

49、iate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling ones obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a persons obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self discipline which is at once permissiv
