For each of t

7、hem, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.10 Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. If human beings could not communicate with one another, each person

8、 would have to learn everything for himself. Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain, joy, fear, hunger, anger and love. Some animals have a more advanced form of language using sounds, and others use a wide range of sou

9、nds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the only one. Nor is it the oldest. We use facial expressions, gestures and hand movements to express our feelings and to send signal

10、s to other people. Animals use this “body language“ a great deal. The sign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech, while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.11 According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?（A）We sho

11、uld learn everything for ourselves.（B） We would become unable to speak.（C） We couldnt live happily.（D）We might have to do everything by ourselves.12 What does the passage say about animals communication?（A）They have their advanced language in form of sound.（B） They can express simple feelings such a

12、s hunger and pain.（C） Some of them can communicate with people very well.（D）All of them can use sound to express themselves.13 Which of the following statement is true?（A）Humans do not have adequate knowledge about animal languages.（B） We are now very much aware of animal languages.（C） Most of anima

13、ls use their facial expressions.（D）All animals make sounds to communicate with each other.14 What means of communication is used by most people?（A）Facial expressions.（B） Body movements.（C） Speech.（D）Body movement and speec15 we can infer from the passage that the oldest form of communication between

14、 people is _.（A）speech（B） touch and hearing（C） sounds（D）body language15 In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition (学会) of each new skill the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the

15、child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he

16、 reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially st

17、rict in money matters. Others are sever over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing ch

18、ild, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept“. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow

19、 confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.16 Eagerly watching the childs acquisi

20、tion of new skills _.（A）should be avoided（B） is universal among parents（C） sets up dangerous states of worry in the child（D）will make him lose interest in learning new things17 In the process of childrens learning new skills parents _.（A）should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of

21、the words they read（B） should not expect too much of them（C） should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own（D）should create as many learning opportunities as possible18 The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.（A）parents should be strict with their children（B

22、） parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community（C） parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone（D）parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation19 The word “precept“ ( Line

23、3, Para. 3) probably means “ _“.（A）idea（B） punishment（C） behaviour（D）instruction20 In moral matters, parents should _.（A）observe the rules themselves（B） be aware of the marked difference between adults and children（C） forbid things which have no foundation in morality（D）consistently ensure the secur

24、ity of their children20 No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myse

25、lf have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better-or worse-part of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we g

26、o off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a probl

27、em getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat-or even only somewhat overweight-

28、is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession (迷恋) with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vesse

29、l disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem-too much fat and a lack of fiber-than a weight problem.The real concern, then, is n

30、ot that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being

31、thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory (虚荣) .21 In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that _.（A）religio

32、us people are not necessarily virtuous（B） looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortune（C） being thin is viewed as a much desired quality（D）the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue22 Swept by the prevailing trend, the author _.（A）had to wear highly fashionable clothes（B） had to s

33、eek help from rich distant relatives（C） had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life（D）could still prevent herself from going off the track23 In human history, peoples views on body weight _.（A）changed from time to time（B） led to different moral standards（C） varied between the poor and the r

34、ich（D）were closely related to their religious beliefs24 The author criticizes womens obsession with thinness _.（A）from a historical and religious standpoint（B） from sociological and medical points of view（C） from an economic and educational perspective（D）in the light of moral principles25 Whats the

35、authors advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?（A）They should gain weight to look healthy.（B） They should be more watchful for fatal diseases.（C） They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.（D）They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.25 A few co

36、mmon misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. Ones physical assets and liabilities dont count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.Over the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-bea

37、utiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of

38、 women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚) while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this.

39、They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individuals accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly

40、attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.Almost invariably, the better looking the person

41、 in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is

42、 an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making its easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another no

43、te, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.26 According to the passage, people often wrongly believe that in pursuing a career as manager _.（A）a persons property or d

44、ebts do not matter much（B） a persons outward appearance is not a critical qualification（C） women should always dress fashionably（D）women should not only be attractive but also high-minded27 The result of research carried out by social scientists show that _.（A）people do not realize the importance of

45、 looking ones best（B） women in pursuit of managerial jobs are not likely to be paid well（C） good-looking women aspire to managerial positions（D）attractive people generally have an advantage over those who are not28 Experiments by scientists have shown that when people evaluate individuals on certain

46、 attributes _.（A）they observe the principle that beauty is only skin-deep（B） they do not usually act according to the views they support（C） they give ordinary-looking persons the lowest ratings（D）they tend to base their judgment on the individuals accomplishments29 “Good looks cut both ways for wome

47、n“ (Line 1, Para. 5) means that _.（A）attractive women have tremendous potential impact on public jobs（B） good-looking women always get the best of everything（C） being attractive is not always an advantage for women（D）attractive women do not do as well as unattractive women in managerial positions30

48、It can inferred from the passage that in the business world _.（A）handsome men are not affected as much by their looks as attractive women are（B） physically attractive women who are in the public eye usually do quite well（C） physically attractive men and women who are in the public eye usually get al

49、ong quite well（D）good looks are important for women as they are for men三、Part III ClozeDirections: There are ten blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.30 When television first began to expand, very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were able to
