Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choos

8、e the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 George Mason must rank with John Adams and James Madison as one of the three Founding Fathers who left their personal imprint (印记 ) on the fundamental law of the United States. He

9、 was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which, because of its early formation, greatly influenced other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and, through them, the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very little inclinat

10、ion for public office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia colonial and state legislatures were relatively brief, and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention. Politics was neve

11、r more than a means for Masson. He was at all times a man of public spirit, hut politics was never a way of life, never for long his central concern. It took a revolution to pry him away from home and family at Gunston Hall, mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional constrnction, and transfor

12、m him, in one brief moment of brilliant leadership, into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and fortunes of those “millions yet unborn“ of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly. 21 The author regards George Masons personal contr

13、ibution to American law as _.（A）not comparable to that of Adams or Madison（B） greater than that of either Adams or Madison（C） of the same importance as that of Adams and Madison（D）second in importance only to that of Adams and Madison 22 Masons relation to the Federal Bill of Rights was one of _.（A）

14、significant but indirect influence（B） principal authorship（C） sole authorship（D）distant and essentially unimportant influence 23 The passage indicates that, for Mason, political activities were _.（A）undertaken only when absolutely necessary（B） a fundamental and life long preoccupation（C） something h

15、e successfully avoided throughout his life（D）something to which he always wished to devote more time and attention 24 The author indicated that Masons brilliant leadership ability _.（A）was exercised throughout his life（B） had been recognized only by the generations that followed him（C） was less impo

16、rtant historically than his brilliance as lawyer（D）emerged powerfully, but for a brief time only 24 Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatter-box, or from somebody who want

17、s something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ig

18、nore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well it will all be the same in a hundred years time?“ You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath,

19、 or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a te

20、lephone in case of sudden emergencyillness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is goo

21、d. I admit that in different circumstancesif I were a tycoon (实业界巨头), for instance, or bedridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular aptitude:

22、 one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one n

23、ever knows, it may be something important.25 What does the work “pest“ in the second sentence of the first paragraph mean?（A）Harmful thing.（B） Insignificant thing.（C） Troublesome thing（D）Trivial thing 26 The author says he is not strong-minded enough to ignore the telephone because _.（A）he hates idl

24、e talk（B） it always comes at an inopportune time（C） it might carry some important message（D）he doesnt want to be impolite to any one on the telephone 27 Which of the following statements may be considered an honor to a telephone?（A）It provides a means for all kinds of talks whereas the speakers need

25、nt come person to person with each other.（B） It can send a message of sudden emergency conveniently.（C） It is densely-installed in England.（D）It is impossible to ignore the telephone when it rings. 28 The author uses the examples of a tycoon and a taxi-driver to show that _.（A）different people have

26、different ideas about the telephone（B） high income is the precondition for the use of telephone（C） telephone is essential only to those people whose career depends on it（D）working people need a telephone 28 It is 2 a. m. You took too long over dinner, the coast is still a couple of hundred kilometer

27、s away and it is essential to get that early morning ferry. And your car radiator pipe bas split. At times like that, the documents making up your insurance kit lying in the front of your car seem useless. The nearest phone was passed three kilometers back, and it would be reasonable to expect some

28、delay in getting breakdown assistance when you have finally phoned through.If on the other hand, youve got a spare in the car, five minutes work should see you on your way again. The majority of breakdowns do involve minor and easily changed parts. A few basic tools and the right mix of spares are w

29、ell worth the space they take up. But to sort out which ones are most likely to be needed, and to buy them, can be expensive.That is why the motoring organizations have come up with rental kits. For about 50 pence a day (slightly more to non-members) they will supply a boxed range of spares for a gi

30、ven ear. On returning the kit the motorist pays for any that are used, plus a small fee for repacking. Deposits are about 20.It is much better, however, to reduce the risk of breakdowns by seeing that your car is properly serviced before setting out. Particularly when driving at high speed over long

31、 distances in hot weather.Finally, it makes sense to purchase a safety triangle and an emergency plastic windscreen before leaving. Make sure all your fellow travellers know where your documents are; give one a spare set of keys, and slip into the back of your wallet a large banknote for the emergen

32、cies where a credit card wont do.29 While on a motoring holiday abroad you might find yourself in difficulties because _.（A）you have brought the wrong documents with you（B） your ferry has just left without you（C） the nearest phone is out of order（D）a repair to your car might take some time 30 In ord

33、er to avoid disaster it would be wise _.（A）to spend five minutes checking the car before you leave（B） to carry some emergency spares with you（C） to buy a cheap set of spares before leaving（D）to prevent all breakdowns from happening 31 Motoring organizations, are now offering motorists _.（A）a discoun

34、t for becoming members（B） a box which fits nearly into most car（C） a selection of parts which may be needed（D）a chance to rent a car cheaply 32 Nevertheless, motorists themselves can try to prevent problems from arising by _.（A）driving short distances in hot weather（B） having their car insured for 2

35、0（C） driving slowly at all times（D）making sure their car is in good working order 32 You ask how to start a business? Here is an example.David Dawson, a serious mountain climber, was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons (锥锤), the only ones he was able to buy. They lasted just one or two climbs, and Da

36、wson wanted to replace them with “chrome-molys“ (铬率合金 ), which were harder, stronger and longer-lasting. Some climbers made them for limited distribution among friends, but they were not commercially available. So Dawson started Dawson Equipment Ltd. , a purveyor (承办商 ) of climbing equipment, as a o

37、ne-man enterprise in Burbank, California, in 1958. He had no plan, no management experience and no advertising. He worked in a shed using a hand forge purchased with $ 800 of capital borrowed from his mother.What Dawson did have was a knowledge of the kind of equipment that he needed in his own clim

38、bs, and a sense that serious climbers would follow his lead. Currently Dawson Equipment is thriving and produces over 200 products.Business opportunities are mere than ample today for the simple reason that many consumers are dissatisfied. Dawsons business started from his being a customer not likin

39、g what he bought. I suspect that your business will begin that way too. You know what you want to replace, improve or change. So begin where the tool breaks, the service slips or the shoe pinches. 33 Dawson was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons because _.（A）they were too soft to bear the climbers w

40、eight（B） they were the only pitons he could afford to buy（C） they coul not last long（D）they were made of iron 34 Dawsons example shows that a business starts _.（A）with a moment of sudden realization of inspiration（B） with the knowledge of what is needed（C） after you have climbed some muntains（D）when

41、 you have climbed some mountains 35 Which of the following statements is true?（A）There are less opportunities today to start a business because customers are always dissatisfied.（B） There are many opportunities today to start a business with a simple reason.（C） Customers dissatisfaction means you ca

42、n start a business to satisfy them.（D）Never start a business if customers are dissatisfied. 36 “I suspect that your business will start that way too.“ in the last paragraph means _.（A）I doubt you will start a business in the same way（B） I dont believe your business will succeed if you start that way

43、（C） I think it is likely you start a business that way（D）I have no idea if you will start a business that way 36 As my train wasnt due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the hea

44、vy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for my case. The receipt didnt seem to be where I had left it. I emptied the contents of the wallet, and railway-tickets, money, scraps of paper, and photographs fell ou

45、t of it; but no matter how hard I searched, the receipt was nowhere to be found.When my turn came, I explained the situation sorrowfully to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously as if to say that he had heard this type of story many times and asked me to describe the case. I told him that

46、 it was an old, brown-looking object, no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If they were correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hur

47、riedly packed and wrote them down as they came to me.After I had done this, I went to look among the shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and for one dreadful moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked the receipt up, he could have easily claimed the case already. This hadnt happene

48、d fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a comer. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet: this time to pay. i pulled out ten-shilling note and the “

49、lost“ receipt slipped out with it. I couldnt help blushing and looked up at the assistant. He was nodding his head knowingly, as if to say that he had often seen this happen before too! 37 The writer had plenty of time to spare as his train _.（A）was leaving later than scheduled（B） was not leaving for another hour（C） was not scheduled to leave（D）was delayed for some reason 38 When the writer explaine
