Read the 2 passages and do the following exercises.Passage 1 Communication between villages and the nearest town was poor. Roads were bad; there was some attempt to keep them in order, but as each parish (教区) was responsible for its own section of the road, the state of repair depended on the enthusiasm of the parish officers. There was, however, little wheeled traffic except for farm coaches used by men of wealth. Most traffic was by means of pack horses. Travelers rode on horseback or walked. Since communication was so difficult, the local markets, held weekly at the nearest town, or the fairs, held annually at the greater cities, became important places for the exchange of goods of all kinds. 1. The passage is primarily about_. A) traveling B) roads C) market D) communication 2. The authors conclusion that local markets and fairs were important is based on his statement that_. A) communication between villages and towns was poor B) there was little wheeled traffic C) exchanges of goods took place at the markets D) markets and fairs were often held 3. Most traffic was not wheeled because_. A) most people could not afford this means of travel B) coaches were uncomfortable C) horses were better than coaches D) roads were so bad 4. Poor roads were probably so because of_. A) politics on a parish level B) the competition between parishes C) the lack of traffic D) the lack of enthusiasm of local authorities 5. The authors statement about the important of markets and fairs is_. A) a conclusion he draws on the basic of his main thought B) an interesting fact he includes C) apparently contrary to the main thought D) a proof he uses to establish his main thought Passage 2There is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors. This injustice demoralized the young engineer and many of her colleagues. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been. All the same, we should not be pessimistic. More and more, the modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their face fits. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine, which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped it, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, This cant be right! $100 just for tapping a machine with a hammer? The engineer wrote out a new bill: For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap it, $ 99. 6. It is believed that some people have succeeded in life because_. A) they feel superior to others B) they are both influential and powerful C) they have some special advantages D) they have a poor background 7. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because_. A) it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleagues B) her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the job C) the man who got his promotion was more experienced than she was D) her bosses did not approve of her political views an
