Passage 1
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
    The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
    Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.  

6、The origin of language is ________.
A：a legend handed down from the past
B：a matter that is hidden or secret
C：a question difficult to answer
D：problem not yet solved
7、What is true about words? ________
A：They are used to express feelings only.
B：They can not be written down.
C：They are simply sounds.
D：They are mysterious.
8、The real power of words lies in their ________.
A：properties
B：characteristics
C：peculiarity
D：representative function
9、By "association", the author means ________.
A：a special quality
B：a joining of ideas in the mind
C：an appearance which is puzzling
D：a strange feature
10、Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? ________
A：He is no more than a master of words.
B：He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.
C：He can move men to tears.
D：His style is always charming.
Passage 2
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
    Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
    Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

11、What is soap opera? ________
A：Plays based on science fiction stories.
B：Plays based on non-fiction stories.
C：The daytime serial dramas on TV.
D：Popular documentary films on TV.
12、What can be the best title of the passage? ________
A：College student viewers.
B：Favorite TV serials.
C：Soap opera fans.
D：College-age viewers.
13、Which are not the reasons why the soap opera suddenly becomes "in" according to the passage? ________
A：Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.
B：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.
C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.
D：Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.
14、What can we learn from the passage? ________
A：College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.
B：Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.
C：Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.
D：The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.
15、What message does the author want to convey to us? ________
A：The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.
B：The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.
C：The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.
D：The people's favorites have changed the drama works.
Passage 3
In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
    Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone awry. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

16. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To look back to the early days of computers.
B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.
C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.
D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.
17. According to the passage, initial concerns about computers were that they might__________.
A. lead us into the post-war era           B. be quite widespread
C. take control                        D. take over routine tasks
18. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to__________.
A. be reasonably skeptical abort them      B. check all their answers
C. substitute them for basic thinking       D. use them for business purposes only
19. An “internal computer” is__________.
A. a computer uses exclusively by one company for its own problems
B. a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process it
C. the most up-to-date in-house computer a company can buy
D. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable
20. The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is__________.
A. challenging                        B. psychological
C. dramatic                          D. malfunctioning
