21、60;4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneJack Billabong&
22、#160;is a stockman. One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Bo
23、rrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air
24、was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It
25、160;was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “Theres a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me
26、;to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had
27、0;fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when
28、they reached him. They lifted him onto Jacks horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The
29、60;pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“Ive never seen a ho
30、rse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.
31、But she did say one thing: “If flame hadnt returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16. Jack Billabong did not turn back because _.A.
32、0;he hadnt found the bull yetB. he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC. he knew there was a burnt man thereD. he saw something moving towards him17. Why was
33、 the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A. Because Joe was tired out.B. Because the ride started late at night.C. Because they didnt have enough courage.D. Because both
34、Cathy and her pony were exhausted.18. Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because _.A. she didnt know what to sa

36、he last paragraph refer to?A. Jack. B. The pony. C. Jacks horse. D. The fire.20. Which of the following is the best title of the story?A. Rescue of Joe
37、Brook.B. Courage of Jack Billabong.C. Love of a Young Girl.D. Heroism of a Lovely Pony.Passage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. D
38、r. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographsone photo of each partner at the time&
39、#160;of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were
40、 then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs l
41、ater. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos
42、60;taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why
43、;couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human
44、60;begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tend
45、ency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences,
46、160;their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _.A. imitating the couples lifeB. grouping&
47、#160;the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies th
48、at the testees _.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did bett
49、er with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to _.A. copy B. change C. know D. suffer24.
50、 From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence bet
51、ween partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. explain why couples grow alikeB.
52、60;tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1)
53、60;“The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course Ill respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst
54、0;is the third. Its the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is
55、sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when
56、 the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, b
57、agger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasnt, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more tha
58、n an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Codechat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the packageand then checks the code against a
59、;price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each daythat is, somebody sits at a keyboa
60、rd and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” i
61、s supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial
62、0;intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than
63、;your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the thre
64、e lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself _.A. says nonsense B. cheats customersC. cannot make the error D. does not admit its&
65、#160;error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just _.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD.
66、160;an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by _.A. a computer B. a keyboard C. an employee D. an electric brain29. Th
67、e last paragraph of the passage implies that computers _.A. are very clever B. never make mistakesC. have a good memory D. are controlled by men30. Which of&
68、#160;the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update
69、the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage Four I came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each
70、160;village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on ones own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a trave
71、ler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Ne
72、vertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable. Our local
73、;grocers shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the
74、60;local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His
75、 prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village st
76、reet in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be p
77、assing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some comm
78、odity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them. 31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _.
79、160;A. still very active B. quickly declining C. unable to flourish D. personal to visitors 32. The local grocers shop is expanding because _. A.
80、 the competition there is weak B. it is a place for women to chat C. it provides good personal service D. the goods there are more valuable 33.
81、;Which of the following is true about the supermarkets? A. Prices there are much higher B. Customers often have to queue up. C. Customers can order by te
82、lephone. D. Their personal services are satisfactory. 34. How do the village grocers assistants feel about giving extra service? A. They dont think it a trouble.
83、160;B. They dont think it worthwhile. C. They dont consider it a good deal. D. They dont consider it a pleasant experience. 35. One special feature of th
84、e village shop is that _. A. there is a very wide range of goods available B. customers can order goods by word of mouth C. customer have to
85、160;order goods one hour earlier D. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorsteps Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points) Directions: There
