19、ices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.In China, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true (41) women,

20、 and even more (42) if the inquirer is a man. However, it is very(43) to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind (44) either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to (45) their age, especially if they feel they look young (46) their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask

21、a (n) (47) question like ° How old are you?M If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily (48) the topic themselves, and ask the other person to (49) how old they are. (50) such a situation, it is quite acceptable to di

22、scuss age (51). They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than (52) that they look very old! (53) westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not (54)that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask (55) for

23、the information, (56) they may try to (57) the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational (58) and the number of years of working experience may provide some (59), but this is not always the (60).A.42.A.withthatB.B.43.A.average44.A.45.A.46.A.47.A.48.A.49.A.50.A.A.52.A.53.A.54.A.55.A.5

Reading Comprehension (2X20 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of

27、 them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to exp

28、erience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they en

29、ter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.The biggest u dream factories

30、 ° are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would

31、 like to do but often can* t. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the ugood guysM win in the movies.61. The Americans go to the movies mainly because they want .A. to enjoy a good story B. to experience an exciting lifeC. to see

32、 the actors and actresses D. to escape their daily life62. Which of the following is people* s normal response to the movies they watch? A. They feel that everything on the screen is familiar to them.B. They try to turn their dreams into reality.C. They become so involved that they forget their own

33、problems.D. They are touched by the life stories of the actors and actresses.63. It is obvious that real life is .A. less romantic than that in the moviesB. more romantic than that in the moviesC. as romantic as that in the moviesD. filled with romantic stories64. The American movies are popular bec

34、ause .A. they are well-made and the stories are interestingB. the characters in the movies are free to do whatever they likeC. the heroes have to cope with many problems and frustrationsD. good guys in the movies always win in the end65. People enjoy seeing the movies because they .A. are tired of t

35、heir everyday livesB. feel inspired by the heroic deeds of the good guysC. want to see who win in the endD. have to cope with many problems in their livesPassage 2We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas, beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel comfortable with people with

36、physical qualities similar to ours.You may have noticed how people who live or work closely together come to behave in a similar way. Unconsciously we copy those we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman* s individual way of walking with raised shoulder is imitated by an admiring fan; a pair

37、 of lovers both shake their heads in the same way; an employee finds himself duplicating his boss, s habit of wagging （摇摆）a pen between his fingers while thinking.In every case, the influential person may not consciously notice the imitation, but he will feel comfortable in its presence. And if he d

38、oes notice the matching of his gestures or movements, he finds it pleasing he is influencing people: they are drawn to him.Sensitive people have been mirroring their friends and acquaintances all their lives, and winning affection and respect in this way without being aware of their methods. Now, fo

39、r people who want to win agreement or trust, affection or sympathy. Some psychologists recommend the deliberate use of physical mirroring.The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer* s movements, tilting her head in the same way to judge a color match, or folding her arms a few seconds after the

40、customer, as though consciously attracted by her. The customer feels that the saleswoman is in sympathy with her, and understands her needs - a promising relationship for a sale to take place.The clever lawyer, trying in a law-court to influence a judge, imitates the great man* s shrugging of his sh

41、oulders, the tone of his voice and the rhythm of his speech.Of course, physical mirroring must be subtle. If you blind （眨眼）every time your target blinks, or bite your bottom lip every time he does, your mirroring has become mockery （嘲笑）and you can expect trouble. So, if you can' t model sympathe

42、tically, dont t play the game.66. According to the passage, “ physical mirroring ” （Sentence 3, Paragraph 4） means .A. the attraction to people with ideas, belief and interests like our ownB. the comfortable feeling about people with physical qualities similar to oursC. the fact that people living o

43、r working closely together behave in a similar wayD. the imitation of the gestures or movements of those we are close to, or love, or admire67. According to the author, all of the following EXCEPT are the deliberate uses of physical mirroring.A. a saleswoman tilts her head after her customer to judg

44、e a color matchB. a lawyer imitates the tone of the judge, s voice and the rhythm of his speechC. sensitive people have been mirroring their friends all their livesD. a naughty boy blinks every time the teacher blinks68. Which of the following is true?A. Sensitive people have been mirroring their fr

45、iends and acquaintances because they want to win their affection and respect.B. The clever saleswoman echoes her lady customer, s movements because she is unconsciously attracted by her.C. The man who imitates the judge is trying to influence him.D. Physical mirroring is always flattering to those w

46、ho are imitated.69. Physical mirroring can cause trouble if .A. The person mirrored finds that people are drawn to himB the mirroring has become mockeryC. the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge doesD. it has been found to be deliberately used70. The paragraph following this passage will m

47、ost probably move on to.A. some ways to prevent physical mirroring from offendingB the mirroring has become mockeryC. the lawyer shrugs his shoulders the way the judge doesD. it has been found to be deliberately usedPassage 3Dear Sir,I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the Airport. Two bus

48、es travel along this route： the number 49 and the number 16. However, by the time the number 16 bus reaches So UK Road it is always full, so it is of no use for me. This leaves the number 49, which sometimes has empty seats on it.The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the Airpo

49、rt every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The regulations state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why is it, therefore, that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standin

50、g at the stop.The regulations state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and twenty standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when I reached the Airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.Clearly printed on the back of ever

51、y bus is a sign that says 44Maximum speed: 50 m. p. h. " . The distance from So UK Road to Kai Tak is 10 miles. On Saturday morning a NO. 49 bus traveled this distance in 10 minutes, at an average speed of 60 m. p. h. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 m. p. h. It is obvious that

52、 our bus companies have neither respect for the regulations nor considerations for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this?71. Why is the number 16 bus of no use for the writer of this letter?A. It only travels from So UK Road to the Airport.B. It is always late.C. It is always full.D. It s

53、ets off after the number 49.72. How long is it sometimes necessary for the writer to wait for a bus?A. Ten minutes. B. Half an hour. C. One hour.D. Nearly a day.73. According to the timetable, a 49 bus should pass through its route.A. every ten minutes B. in less than ten minutesC. in more than ten

54、minutes D. half an hour74. What must a half-empty bus do if there are people at a bus stop?A. Stop.B. Stop and wait until the seats are almost full.C. Go straight past.D. Not set off until it is full.75. The writer complains that .A. buses are too crowdedB. bus drivers always go straight past withou

55、t stoppingC. too few buses are traveling along the routesD. bus services are very poorPassage 4In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Most men worked in an office, a factory or some other place away from home. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bi

56、lls. The money was used for food, clothes, a house and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked the meals, cleaned the hous

57、e, washed the clothes and did other household work. Her job at home was very important.In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that bot
