If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.

Passage 2
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badges of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.

                                    Passage 3
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.
11. 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

12. What is true about words?           

A. They are used to express feelings only.
B. They can not be written down.

A. properties

C. peculiarity
  D. representative function

14. 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

15. 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.

Part IV  Cloze（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
Directions: There are five blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are five choices marked A, B, C, D and E. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first   1   to introduce equal pay for equal work.
    Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the   2  ; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this   3   is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into   4  . This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the   5   and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.

1. A. other          B. sight          C. older           D. way           E. account
2. A. other          B. sight          C. older           D. way           E. account
3. A. other          B. sight          C. older           D. way           E. account
4. A. other          B. sight          C. older           D. way           E. account
