Passage 2
Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying, it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish car maker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belt could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--- in less than one second ---- to keep the people inside safe.

Passage 1
Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.
How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year.

Passage 1
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation.

Passage 2
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death – such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
26. The passage mainly deals with _______.
A. life and death B. heroes and heroines
C. heroes and icons D. icons and celebrities
27. Heroes and heroines are usually _______.
A. courageous B. good example to follow
C. self-sacrificing D. all of the above
28. Which of the following statements is wrong?
A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.
B. Superstars are famous for being famous.
C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.
D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.
29. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______.
A. when she was 19 B. when she became a princess
C. just before her death D. after she gave birth to a prince
30. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?
A. Good looks. B. Tragic and early death.
C. Personal attraction. D. The quality of one’s story.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)
26. Which of the following statements is wrong? __________
A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B. Americans attach less importance to patience.
C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.
D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.

C. a good business D. an attractive gift
28. Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.
A. through social courtesy B. through prolonged business talks
C. by establishing business relations D. by learning about their past performance
29. This passage mainly talks about __________.
A. how Americans treasure their time
B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners
D. what American way of life is like
30. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is ___________.
A. critical B. ironical C. appreciative D. objective

Passage 1
Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.
“If there were an accident.” He says, “They’d know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.”
But Linda has promised that she would ring. “ However,” she says, “is doesn’t cost much when you just think that it’s the other side of the world. It’s only six pence per second.
“If you’re on that telephone for less than one minute, I’ll eat my hat.” David says, “And one minute’s nearly four pounds.”
“That’s no more than you’d pay for a new hat,” Linda answers.
She has asked the man at the hotel desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.
“Hello, Mum, Is that you?” She says.
“Six pence per second,” David reminds her.
“Hello, love,” It is Mrs. Lee, Linda’s mother, speaking from London. “I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It’s a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn’t hear me sometimes.”
“Yes, Mum.” Linda puts in. “ I just wanted to ring to …”
“I remember how you rang when you went to Betty’s house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you …” Mrs. Lee is a great talker.
“ Nearly four pounds.” says David.
Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.
“Yes, all right,” says Mrs. Lee, “But you will write, won’t you, as you did when you were at work …”
Once again, Mrs, Lee talks about the past, and there is no stopping off.
At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.
“ There! That wasn’t long, was it?”

Passage 2
E-mail is one of the biggest threats (威胁) to your home computer. By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer. When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places. Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet “room”, a very, very big room. Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden in any way. As a result, others may be listening in, capturing what you send, and using it for their own good.
E-mail-borne viruses often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something. By beautiful appearances, an infected (感染) E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers.
There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment (附件) that you receive. You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:
1) The Know Test: Is the E-mail from someone that you know?
2) The Received Test: Have you received E-mail from this sender before?
3) The Expected Test: Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?
4) The Meaning Test: Do the topic line of the E-mail message and the name of the attachment both have meanings?
5) The Virus Test: Is the E-mail infected?
26. Which of the following is the main idea in the first paragraph?
A. We should not exchange our E-mail with someone else.
B. It is dangerous to read and write E-mail messages at home.
C. We should learn how E-mail works to take care of our computers.
D. Our chats on computers are usually going on in a big Internet room.
27. What does the underlined word “capturing” probably mean?
A. taking B. hiding C. receiving D. destroying
28. As the Internet is open to anyone, we should _________.
A. not read and write messages in our home computers
B. not allow nice advertisements to reach our computers
C. stop our conversations while someone is listening in it
D. be careful with the attractive E-mails sent by strangers
29. What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. The threats of E-mail. B. The safety of home computers.
C. The E-mail-borne viruses. D. The steps to receive E-mail messages.

More and more teachers and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, 11 came from the printed papers sold on streets.
These printed things look like newspaper but have hardly anything to do with them. You can only find reading material badly 12 there-some are too strange for anyone to believe, 13 are frightening stories of something even worse. However, many of the young students are getting absorbed in such poisonous reading, which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and bring them nightmares and immoral ideas 14 return. Homework is left undone, daily games lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 15 they are, we never know, are making their silent money. The sheep skinned wolf’s stories seem to have been forgotten once again.
Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes, both teachers and parents have 16 each other for more strict control of the young readers. Yet unfortunately, 17 you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even fin18 driven by the curious nature.
It really does harm to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 19 teachers and parents need more powerful support. Meanwhile, the young readers need more interesting books to help them 20 these ugly papers.

IV. Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
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 thing 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.
21. 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. a problem not yet solved
22. 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.
23. The real power of words lies in their _______.
A. properties B. characteristics
C. peculiarity D. representative function
24. 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
25. 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
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. (263 words)
26. What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________________.
A. The tools he uses.
B. The way he uses his tools.

D. The various tools he uses.

28. A sound scientific theory should be one that ___________________.
A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times does not allow any
B. changes even under different conditions
C. can be used for many purposes
D. leave no room for improvement
29. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ______________.
A. that measurements are keys to success in science
B. that accuracy of mathematics
C. that the investigations are important in science
D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations
30. What is the main idea of the passage? __________.

Passage 1
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.

A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers 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 the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony.

Passage 2
A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
26. A friend of the writer’s drew the horses ____.
A. very well B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above
27. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people’s rule
28. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don’t know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
29. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story D. should think of the beginning
30. The topic of the passage is ______.
A. How to draw a horse B. How to write a story
C. How to make your own rules D. Trust to your own powers
