Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week fire drill has already revealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_.A. it was in bad weather B. there were “deaf spots”C. a big fire started D. it was at the weekend2. The phrase “in the long run” (L.2, Part.2) means_.A. effectively B. endlessly C. eventually D. efficiently3. Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_.A. they were deaf B. they could not hear the alarmC. nobody waked them up D. they refused to leave their rooms4. A fire drill is extremely important according to the writer for_.A. it is a good physical exercise B. it cultivates peoples enduranceC. it is a legal requirement D. it can save lives in case of a fire5. Which of the following was NOT stated by the author?A. A fire drill is very important and useful.B. The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.C. Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D. It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageAccidents are caused; they dont just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortunefrustration, tiredness or just bad temperthat show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgmentnoise and fatigue, boredom or worries are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that_.A. Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B. Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C. Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D. About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.班级_ 学号_ 姓名_ -密-封-线-7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. Mood. B. Tiredness. C. Carelessness D. Weather8. The word “accidents-prone” (L.2 Para.2) means_.A. likely to have accidents B. injured in accidentsC. possible to die in accidents D. responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author opinion of accidents?A. Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B. Many accidents can and should be avoided.C. Factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D. Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Accidents and AnxietyB. How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC. Human Factors in AccidentsD. How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The dowry was the wifes right to receive a tenth of all her husbands property. The wife had the right to with hold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, and more than just a right; the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife. The wife shared in the management of her husbands personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miros personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the wife knew how to win herself, with the context of the family, a powerful economic position. 班级_ 学号_ 姓名_-密-封-线-11.

A. some of the land Miro had inheritedB. a tenth of Miros landC. money for household expensesD. money from Miros inheritance15. The authors attitude towards Maria Vivas is _. A. sympathetic B. disapproval C. indifferent D. objective Passage 4 Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists (语言学家) suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Mans brain compared with that of the monkey, is
