Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say please and thank you. Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their ps and qs. If you give her the chance she then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you, too, would have been seen and not heard. Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadnt enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age. That said, my childhood was much freer than Grannys. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language and we got up to the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight frock (女式礼服), and sew. 36.

Children were not supposed to hear their parents conversation. C. Children were not supposed to speak in the face of others. D. Children were not supposed to speak until asked to do it. 37. What is the expression of mind their ps and qs supposed to mean? A. To mind their own business. B. To remember to say please. C. To remember to say thank you. D. To be well-mannered. 38. Which of the following words can be used to describe Grannys feelings of her own childhood? A. Lonely. B. Dull. C. Proud. D. Happy. 39. How did the author feel about her Grannys childhood? A. Disappointed. B. Unbearable. C. Respectable. D. Indifferent. 40. Why did Granny often complain about modern childrens behavior? A. She missed those good old days. B. She was too harsh on children. C. She didnt like kids who talk a lot. D. She was not open to new things. Passage 2 Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment. This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, Can I help you? You neednt buy anything you dont want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldnt obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it! he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. 41. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _. A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-lover C. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden shower D. even when you know you are late for an appointment 42.

Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities. The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future. 46. The Open University provides an education for _. A. students who do not like attending regular universities B. students who failed the College Entrance Examination C. students who are adults and away from a university D. students who are limited in their ability to learn 47. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by _. A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of education D. the poor rural technology 48. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot 49. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change _. A. as new developments are made B. as more students take classes there C. as the Open University helps more D. as technology becomes cheaper 50. The tone of this passage can best be described as _. A. discouraging B. encouraging C. persuasive D. scientific IV Translate the following sentences into Chinese.（10 points in all） “We are slaves to nothing but the clock, ”it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a persons hourglass, they cannot be replaced.
