For each blank, there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. you should choose the best answer。When you are in 41 to some foreign friends, you should greet them with “ How do you do ?” while shaking hands with him or her for a few seconds. The 42 thing is, perhaps, the presenting of a business card, which is also called a name card. You should accept the card with a smile and at the same time 43 yours.Nowadays, business cards have become more and more 44 in an introduction. They do not only contain the bearers name, profession and title, but also the address, telephone number, postal code, e-mail address and other useful 45 and personal data. To a foreign friend, we should remember to present a card 46 with an English version or the one written in English, because most English speakers dont have competence in reading Chinese. In most 47 , a Chinese name is hard to pronounce for our foreign friends. So you should make it as 48 as possible in the introduction. Probably, you may give them your family name only. They will feel very pleased to pronounce your name correctly. 49 this short greeting, most foreigners expect to come quickly 50 to business. So you can shift to the business topic naturally.41.

Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may say that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the senses-in this case our eyestell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.56. what does the passage mainly tell us?A. Perceiving has nothing to do with seeing.B. perceiving differs from seeingC. Seeing is closely connected to perceiving.D. Seeing has much to do with perceiving.57. The phrase” with four children in tow” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”.A. with four children following closely behind herB. with four children tied to each other with a rope.C. With four children dragging a rope held by her.D. With four children dragged in a small cart.58. According to the passage, perceiving is an action .A. that tells us information through our eyes.B. That gives us senses in the mind.C. That explains what our senses tell usD. That makes our mind different59. The psychologists are trying to draw their conclusion .A. by asking different people to tell how they perceive the same sceneB. by using a scientific approach in setting up their experimentsC. by determining how a person experiences the world around himD. by measuring and charting the results of many experiments60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Different people may perceive the same scene in a different way.B. That a policeman gives a motorist a ticket means the motorist is fined.C. No people share the same perception when they are asked to see the same scene.D. The psychologists can control all of the factors in their experiments.Passage 2Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation( 动机)。 This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivation can come from two sources: from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case, motivation comes from your hopes and expectations, from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual and various. If you have not already done so, you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies, and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study.Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation: from outside. In education the most obvious kind of outside motivation is grades. For many students, course grades are an immediate, short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for exams and grades, but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day, but they are only small, artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition.A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation; that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement, it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study; more important is how well you study.61. Inside motivation comes from .A. your need and desireB. your hopes and expectationsC. your desire to do something or to be someoneD. both B and C62. Study purposes . A. are different from person to personB. are personal inner desiresC. share some common pointsD. should be carefully made63. If you havent set a goal in your studies, .A. you will most probably become a failureB. you will never be a good studentC. you may lose direction and lack motivationD. you wont have good study habits64. According to passage, why are exams and grades necessary in education?A. Because they can make the difference between success and failureB. Because they can motivate many students to study harder.C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies.D. Because they are small, artificial steps to an ultimate goal.65. If you want to be an efficient learner, you must .A. have clear study purposesB. be always motivated from both inside and outsideC. set grades as your ambitionD. have good study habitsPassage 3Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we cant ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that cant be so effective if its taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities,
