Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Disney World, Florida, is the biggest amusement resort in the world. It covers 24.4 thousand acres, size of Manhattan. It was opened on October 1, 1971, five years after Walt Disneys death, and it is a larger, slightly more ambitious version of Disneyland near Los Angeles. Foreigners tend to associate Walt Disney with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and with his other famous cartoon characters, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto, or with his nature films, whose superb photography is spoiled, in the opinion of some, by the vulgarity（粗俗）of the commentary and musical background. There is very little that could be called vulgar（粗俗的）in Disney World. It attracts people of most taste and most income groups, and people of all ages, from toddlers to grandpas. There are two expensive hotels, a golf course, and forest trails for horseback riding and rivers for canoeing. But the central attraction of the resort is the Magic Kingdom. Between the huge parking lots and the Magic Kingdom lies a broad artificial lake. In the distance rise the towers of Cinderellas Castle, which like every other building in the Kingdom is built of solid materials. Even getting to the Magic Kingdom is quite an adventure. You have a choice of transportation. You can either cross the lake on a replica of a Mississippi paddle wheeler, or you can glide around the shore in a streamlined monorail train.When you reach the terminal, you walk straight into a little square which faces Main Street. Main Street is of late 19th century. There are modern shops inside the buildings, but all the decades are of the period. There are hanging baskets full of red and white flowers, and there is no traffic except a horse drawn streetcar and an ancient double decked bus. Yet as you walk through the magic Kingdom, you are actually walking on top of a network of underground roads. This is how the shops, restaurants and all the other material needs of the Magic Kingdom are.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。21. In which year did Walt Disney die?A. 1971. B. 1976.C. 1966.D. 1900.22. The main attraction of Disney World is .A. the Seven DwarfsB. Mickey MouseC. Donald Duck D. the Magic Kingdom23. Reaching the Magic Kingdom is .A. adventurousB. dangerousC. difficultD. easy24. When one visits the biggest amusement in the world, one will find .A. it is relatively cheapB. it is very expensiveC. it just wastes his timeD. it is vulgar25. Why is Disney World the most famous amusement resort? A. It is funny.B. It is interesting.C. It is the biggest one.D. It is the most expensive.Passage 2If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to be blamed, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, times and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。26. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the first paragraph?A. It is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs.B. Everybody knows that memory of words is the same way as the arms or legs.C. To have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly.D. To keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a motorcar.27. In the authors opinion, poor memory results from .A. poor health B. lack of remembering practiceC. unlucky fortuneD. insufficient education28. The author seems to advise us .A. to play tennis to improve our memoryB. to complain about nothing but our healthC. to blame ourselves rather than our parents for the poor memoryD. to learn from those who cannot read or write29. The author comes to the conclusion that .A. the poorer one is, the better his memoryB. memory can be improved by practicing itC. the poor and humble people may help you remember thingsD. if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything30. Which of the following may best serve as the title of the article?A. How to Improve Your Memory.B. Poor and Good Memory.C. Your Arms, Legs and Brain.D. Learn from the Poor and Humble.Passage 3 People are always talking about “the problem of youth”. If there is one, then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings people just like their elders. There is only one difference between an old and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old one has a splendid future behind him; and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and uncertain that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem. For one thing, being a problem gives you a certain identity, and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting. They have an air of freedom, and they have not a dreary commitment to mean ambitious or love of comfort. They are not anxious social climbers, and they have no devotion to material things. All this seems to me to link them with life, and the origins of things. It is as if they were in some sense cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban creatures. All that is in my mind when I meet a young person. He maybe conceited, ill-mannered, or too self-confident but I do not turn for protection to dreary clichs（陈腐观点）about respect for elders as if mere age were a reason for respect. I accepted that we were equals, and I will argue with him, as an equal, if I think he is wrong. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。31.

One of the things the young are engaged in seeking is .A. they want people to know himB. they want to make troublesC. they want to make some interesting eventsD. they want to excite people34. Whats the writers attitude to young people?A. Positive.B. Agreeable.C. Negative.D. Doubtful. 35. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

I had the right accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, 37 witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. 38 the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different 39 , and had really been unemployed, there is every 40 that I would have been found 41 .

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not 46 regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days 47 the party date. 48 this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in 49 , because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be 50 .The 51 of time differ in different parts of the world. 52 , misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that 53 time differently. Promptness is much 54 in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully 55 . In the U.S. no one would think of 56 a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. When 57 meet, a person who is five minutes late is 58 to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of 59 , though perhaps he will not 60 the sentence. To Americans, forty minutes of waiting is the 61 of the “insult period”. No matter 62 is said in apology, there is little that can remove the 63 done by an hours wait. 64 in s
