and bad can happen to us in our lives Yet there are three days which are usually marked by some kind of special ceremony the day we are born the day we get married and the day we die These are the three main events in life We only have a choice in the second of these We can choose whether or not to marry But we have no choice in birth and death All human beings from the most primitive to the most sophisticated 高级的 are affected by these three events The only thing that differs in each society is the way these events are celebrated Yet all societies share common characteristics Birth is a time of joy The proud parents receive congratulations and presents on behalf of the new born Marriage is also a time of joy The young couple go through a special wedding ceremony and receive presents to help them set up their home Death is a time of sorrow and is marked by a special ceremony and mourning The dates of all three events are usually remembered 61 What differs in each society in celebrating these events A The time B The date C The people D The way 62 Which of the following is not true A Marriage is a time of happiness B Birth is a time of joy C Death is a time of ceremony D Both A and C 63 Which is the best title for the passage A The Celebrating Ways B The Day We Are Born C The Great Events D All Human Beings Must Die B Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble and he was Have ever dreamed something that came true later Maybe you have ESP 超感官知觉 ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception It may be called sixth sense It seems to let people know about events before they happen or events that are happening some distance away Here s an example A woman was ironing clothes Suddenly she screamed My father is dead I saw him sitting in the chair Just then a telegram came The woman s father had died of a heart attack He had died sitting in a chair There are thousands of stories like this one on record Scientists are studying them to find out what s behind these strange mental messages Here s another example one of hundreds of dreams that have come true A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by The driver said There s room for one more The man felt the driver was dead so he ran away The next day the man was getting on a crowed bus The bus driver said There s room for one more Then the man saw that the driver s face was the same face he had seen in the dream He wouldn t get on the bus As the bus drove off it crashed and burst into flames Everyone was killed Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences Others including some scientists say that ESP is real From studies of SEP we may someday learn more about the human mind 64 ESP lets people know A about their dream B about events after they happen C about events before they happen D about heart attacks 65 The studies of ESP could be an important way to A understand the human mind B predict death C understand the five senses D avoid accidents 66 In this passage coincidences probably means A things which do not happen B things which happen by accident without necessary connection C things which are only dreams D things dreamed of only by sick people C You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight At first they hit each other hard But soon they begin knocking the other s head with chairs And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet down to the ground below He is dead Of course he isn t dead With any luck he isn t even hurt Why Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains who crash cars or even catch fire are professionals They do this for a living These men are called stuntmen That is to say they perform tricks There are two sides to their work They actually do most of the things you see on the screen For example they fall from a high building However they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress Again when they hit one another with chairs the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows the glass is made of sugar But although their work depends on tricks of this sort it also requires a high degree of skill and training Often a stuntman s success depends on precise timing For example when he is blown up in a battle scene he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work but they lead dangerous lives They often get serious injured and sometimes killed A Norwegian stuntman for example skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high His parachute 降 落伞 failed to open and he was killed In spite of all the risks this is no longer a profession for man only Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action For nowadays there are stuntgirls too 67 Stuntmen do this kind of wok in order to A attract people s attention B earn a living C enjoy themselves D pretend to be actors 68 When they jump from a high building stuntmen A have parachutes B are covered with a mattress C have to risk their lives D fall in something soft 69 In order to do their job well stuntmen have to be A absolutely strong B precisely on time C especially accurate D unusually serious 70 Which of the following CAN NOT be implied from the passage A There used to be no stuntwomen B In love stories stuntmen are not necessary C Stuntmen s performance will improve the image of a movie D As a stuntman he needs perfect skills as well as courage D Directions Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A F for each paragraph There is one extra heading which you do not need A The importance of wearing uniforms B Practical problems of wearing uniforms C Lack of variety one of the disadvantages of wearing uniforms D Wearing uniforms is popular in America E Wearing uniforms looks more professional F Practical benefits of wearing uniforms 71 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five star general Why are uniforms so popular in the United States 72 Among the arguments for uniforms one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian 百姓的 clothes People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by uniform What easier way is there for a nurse a policeman a barber or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform 73 Uniforms also have many practical benefits They save on other clothes They save on laundry bills They are tax deductible 可减税的 They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes 74 Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them Though there are many types of uniforms the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it without change until retirement When people look alike they tend to think speak and act similarly on the job at least 75 Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems Though they are long lasting often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes 第第 II 卷卷 共 共 20 分 分 I Translation 每题每题 2 分 共分 共 10 分分 1 与会的大多数人赞同他的建议 in favour of 2
