Among the topics we discuss in our class is the _38_ of quality employees.“What has _39_ you to stay long enough to become a manager?” I asked. After a while a new manager named Cynthia took the question and said slowly, “It was a baseball glove.”Cynthia said she used to take a Circle K clerk job as an interim(临时的) one while looking for something better. On her second day behind the counter, she received a call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for the little League. She _40_ that as a single mother, money was not easy to _41_, and her first check would have to go for paying _42_.When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Partricia, the store manager, asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it was hard to _43_ this to a kid. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know that you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know that we cant pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care and I want you to know how important you are to us.”The _44_ and love of the store manager show _45_ that people remember more how much a manager cares than how much he pays.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Although the term “global warming” has become increasingly familiar to the general public, the full implications of the term are far from being understood. Over 8- percent of the people interviewed in the survey carried out by the Chinchilla Institute knew _46_ of the effects of a worldwide _47_ in temperature. Only 7.4 percent of those interviewed felt that their lives would be directly _48_ by global warming during the next 20 years.This _49_ is in sharp contrast to the concerns of the professional who conducted the survey. Professor Wong stated that the climate changes caused by rise in global temperature of only 1 would result in _50_ changes, which would bring about significant lifestyle changes of all of us.The primary change would be the 30-centimetre rise in _51_ as a result of the _52_ of the polar icecaps(冰冠), which would be _53_ to low-lying coastal areas. The existence of some countries would be threatened, and few _54_ cities would entirely escape severe _55_ and damage. Even inland area agriculture will be affected by global warming. The possible _56_ in the rainfall is likely to result in desertification(沙漠化).As long as public _57_ remains so low, the political measures required to deal with the potential disaster are _58_ to come about. Professor Wong observed, “_59_ we plan for the future, we will not be ready for action at local, regional, national, and _60_ level that are essential to face this issue- the issue of the 21st century.46. a. somethingb. muchc. nothingd. anything47. a. dropb. risec. changed. difference48. a. endangeredb. benefitedc. affectedd. threatened49. a. surveyb. resultc. responsed. ignorance50. a. enormousb. somec. expectedd. important51. a. temperatureb. landc. sea leveld. coasts52. a. disappearingb. meltingc. growingd. warming53. a. disastrousb. frighteningc. harmfuld. beneficial54. a. bigb. industrialc. coastald. international55. a. climateb. punishmentc. conditiond. flooding56. a. increaseb. changec. reductiond. amount57. a. awarenessb. interestc. curiosityd. attention58. a. sureb. unlikelyc. possibled. likely59. a.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. AThe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the sky and therefore connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is an exciting color. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as a signal for danger, but closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas now rushing around in bright yellow colors.61. The passage tells us that salesmen have _.a. found out that colors affect sales.b. discovered the relationship between color and psychology.c. tried colors on blind peopled. developed a special of color psychology62. It can be inferred from the passage that _.a. foods sell well in green or blue wrappingsb. blind people cannot see color differencesc. what color we prefer depends on our state of mindd. a bright color was exactly the opposite effect to re63. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?a. Colors and Feelingsb. Colors and Salesc. The Blind and Colorsd. Preferences for Colors BDid anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British Commonwealth” had the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.The British Isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain Commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire. This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.64. According to the passage, we know that _.a. Great Britain has the same meaning as Britain.b. The United Kingdom has the same meaning as Britain or England.c. All the names in the first paragraph have the same meaning.d. All the names refer to England.65. It is clear that the British Isles refer to _.a. Britain, England and the UKb. The two main islands and thousands of small onesc. Three countries and several islandsd. Great Britain or the United Kingdom66. Which of the following shows the right relationship between the British Isles (BI), Britain (B) and England (E)?a. B BI Eb. BI E Bc. E B BId. BI B E67. If you want to write to someone in Edinburgh that lies in Scotland, you should write the address as _.a. Edinburgh, Englandb. Edinburgh, Great Britainc. Scotland, Edinburghd. Great Britain, Scotland, Edinburgh CWhitman was one of the most original and inspiring American poets, true to his art and to his role as a poet. He devoted himself to poetry praising the native American experience. As Americas first epic poem(史诗), Leaves of Grass ran nine editions with more than 400 poems all written in free verse(诗)form, that is, poetry without a fixed beat or regular rhyme scheme(押韵). The tide implies rebirth, renewal, or green life. As Whitman once said, “Leaves of Grass was the outcropping of my own emotional and other personal naturean attempt, from first to last, to put a person, a human being freely, fully and truly on record.”For Whitman, science, democracy (民主)and spirituality (灵性)were the three things that underlay the structure of modern poetry. Whitman tried to blend (混合)the world of science, the philosophy of democracy and the spiritual feeling of life into one, to incorporate (合并)these into his poetry. For Whitman, the poetic form was to be organic, not restrained(受限制的). Therefore, he threw aside the traditional ornaments (修饰)and prettiness of verse(诗歌) and had his own form. Both the form and content of his poems are revolutionary. With its frequent use of popular language and everyday events, his verse represents a turning point in the history of American poetrypoetry fashioned out of specially American experience in a distinctly American idiom. Whitmans unique poetic creation has developed a very significant tradition in American poetry.In his poems, he celebrated new America rather than regretted it. He was against slavery, idolized (崇拜的)Lincoln, supported strikes, and combined the ideal of the democratic common people and that of the ragged individual.68.Whitman wrote poems mainly to _.a. praise the rich people in the USAb. call on others to turn against the governmentc. let others know more about the native American experience.d. Make more money and become famous69. In Whitmans opinion, what were the three things that underlay the structure of modern poetry?a. Education, democracy and spiritualityb. Science, democracy and spiritualityc. Poems, science and democracyd. Science, poems and spirituality70. The poet threw aside the traditional ornaments and prettiness of verse and had his own form because _.a. he thought the poetic form was not restrained but organicb. all the poets did soc. the readers didnt like the traditional ornaments and prettiness of versed. he wanted to make his poems special71. According to the passage, we know Whitman was a poet who _.a. didnt like common peopleb. was selfish manc. cared for common peopled. didnt have his own idealSection C (5)Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. One becomes two.B. The only one in the universe.C. One becomes wise.D. Being alone makes one afraid.AB. Two create more.AC. How to become wise.72. _.In the beginning , the universe was nothing but a man whose name was Self. One day, Self looked around and saw that there was nothing else in the universe but himself. So he shouted “It is I”, meaning that the universe was him and he was the universe.73. _.But when he heard his own voice, Self became afraid. This is why even today we are afraid when we are alone. But then Self thought for a while and said, “Since there is no one here but myself, what is there to fear?” So he was no longer afraid of being alone.74. _.But Self was not happy, and we still believe that when we are alone we can not feel happy. Self wanted someone else to be with him. As he was quite big, he divided himself into two parts. One part was like a man and the other part was like a woman.75. _.The man held the woman in his arms and from them came the human being. But the woman became afraid, so she decided to hide. First she t
