For each of then there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sport - the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation. A good example is the football World Cup. Football is third worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he 11 think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map. Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played. So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But its nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.41. What is the author s main purpose in the passage? A. To explain the role of sport. B. To compare Scotland with Argentina. C. To show that Argentina is better than all others. D. To prove that football is the world s most important sport.42. In the second paragraph, the word summit means _ . A. award B. summary C. highest point D. mountain top43. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its _. A. obvious position on the map B. successes in the football World Cup C. excellence at most important sports D. large number of sports fans and supporters44. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will _.A. fail to succeed B. lose enjoyment C. be successful D. be unreasonable45. What is the authors attitude towards international games? A. Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield. B. Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects. C. Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.Passage 2Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable: one is death and the other taxes.Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you dont, the service person cant earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman and to your building super at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.46. The main idea of this passage is _. A. shopping and tipping B. sales and shopping C. sales taxes and tipping D. sales taxes and people47. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _as sales tax.A. $4.5 B. $4 C. $5 D. $5.5 48. Usually, cab drivers _. A. get high wages from the employer Bget great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employer D. get high bonus from the employer 49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. B. The westerners dont have to pay high tips in their own country. C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill. 50. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax _. A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S. B. are over 15% in the U. S. C. have been put an end in the U. S. D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Passage 3In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called classical conditioning. This occurs when one event or stimulus is consistently paired with or followed by, a re- ward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associates his mothers face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called operant conditioning. This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more. Every day, we grow and have new experiences. We constantly learn by reading, watching television, interacting with other people, and so forth. This learning affects our emotions. Why is it that we learn to like some people and dislike others? If a person is nice to us, cares about us, we learn to associate this person with positive feelings, such as joy, happiness, and friendliness. On the other hand, if a person is mean to us, does not care about us, and even deliberately does things to harm us, we learn to associate this person with negative feelings, such as unhappiness, discomfort, and anger.51. The authors main purpose in writing the passage is to_. A. teach children how to learn to produce and experience certain emotions B. give the general reader an account of two basic kinds of learning C. give parents some advice on how to modify their childrens emotions through learningD. discuss with psychologists how positive and negative feelings are produced 52. If your jokes often find a ready echo in a person, you will learn through _that telling jokes to this person is fun, and you will try with greater efforts to be humorous in his presence. A. classical conditioning B. neither of themC. operant conditioning D. some other sorts of conditioning 53. If a child is bitten or startled several times by a dog, he may learn to associate furry animals with pain or startle and thus develop a fear of furry animals. This is a typical example of learning through_. A. classical conditioning B. both of them C. operant conditioning D. neither of them54. In the third paragraph, the author is_. A. discussing how we grow and have new experiences every day B. talking about learning to modify emotions through operant conditioning C. concentrating on learning by reading, watching television, interacting with people, and so on D. using examples to further illustrate learning through classical conditioning 55. In the following paragraphs the author will most probably go on to discuss_. A. definitions of positive feelings and negative feelings B. the third kind of learning C. further examples of learning through operant conditioningD. none of the above Passage 4You are a German living in Berlin. One day youre walking down in a street minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger approaches with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying, in English: Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut? What should you do? (a) Run away; (b) Call the police; or, (c) Listen closely for the device to say, in German: Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, wo ich Sauerkraut kaufen kann? The most appropriate response would be (c). because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the worlds first portable translator- a hand-held microcomputer that at the same time converts one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronic company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April - at a price of $1,500 - it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges (盒式存贮器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. The item will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. introduction, with cartridges that convert Italian, German, French and Spanish into English. The voice uses a microchip (微型集成块) and artificial intelligence to translate languages. It is started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language.56. The stranger holding the Voice seems to be_. A. asking for some information B. greeting the German C. amusing himself D. practicing his German 57. The German sentence konnen Sie.kann? means_. A. Why dont you ask the policeman? B. Would you listen closely for the device to say? C. Can you say it again, please?D. Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut? 58. The word speaker in the last paragraph refers to _. A. the person who speaks to the device B. a component part of the VoiceC. the person who speaks German D. the speech produced by the Voice 59. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? A.
