Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1When people communicate face-to-face, they convey information in several ways apart from by the words they use. Thus, how often they make eye contact and how long they sustain that contact can indicate t

15、heir degree of intimacy（亲密）, interest in or understanding of what they are communicating verbally. Their posture（姿势） the way they sit or stand can reveal attention, interest, disagreement or boredom. The distance they sit or stand from one another and the angle at which they do so can suggest friend

16、ship, hostility or respect. These and other forms of nonverbal（非口头的）communication are so pervasive that we usually scarcely notice them. Their importance quickly becomes apparent（明显的）, however, when for some reason they are lacking or unclear.One occasion when most people notice the importance of no

17、nverbal communication is when they are talking on the telephone. There is an unwritten rule of telephone conversations that the listener must supply frequent and regular confirmation that he or she is listening. This is done by saying “Aha, Mmhm. Yes, I see,” and so on. Failure to do this often enou

18、gh may result in the speaker interrupting him or herself to ask if the other person is “still there.” In face-to-face conversation, this is unnecessary, as attention and understanding are conveyed silently, chiefly by eye contact and posture.Another situation where the importance of nonverbal commun

19、ication becomes clear is during cross-cultural communication. It is an instructive experience to travel in a foreign country whose culture is very different from ones own. Do men shake hands, bow, touch, point, wink, and so on, or are some or all of these behaviors considered rude? How long can eye

20、contact be maintained without indicating something more than polite interest? How close does one stand before being disrespectful or too intimate, how far away before being thought cold or hostile? Features like these can sometimes be more important in a second language than grammatical accuracy or

21、a good accent（口音）.31. People seldom notice the importance of nonverbal communication because _.A. it is usually lackingB. it is usually unclearC. it is too apparentD. it is too widespread32. In face-to-face communication, you can tell whether the other agrees with you or not by all the following exc

22、ept _.A. the frequency of his eye contact with youB. the length of his eye contact with youC. the way he sits or standsD. the way he smokes33. In telephone conversation, _.A. the listener must agree with what the speaker is sayingB. the listener must supply words of confirmationC. the speaker must f

23、requently ask if the listener is still thereD. the speaker must frequently ask questions to catch the listeners attention34. For a traveler in a foreign country the more important thing than verbal communication is _.A. a good accent of that countrys languageB. a good command of the grammar of that

24、countrys languageC. a good knowledge of the culture of that countryD. a good knowledge of the history of that country35. According to the passage, cross-cultural communication is an _ experience.A. instructiveB. embarrassingC. excitingD. enjoyingPassage 2Internet use appears to cause a decline in ps

25、ychological well-being, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on（登录）less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasnt that people who were already fee

26、ling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows

27、 users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized（假设）. Faceless, bodiless “virtual” communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual c

28、onversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But its important to remember this is not about the technology itself; its about how it is used.” says psychologist

29、Christine Riley, one of the studys sponsors（发起人）. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.” 36. It can be learned from the passage that _. A. people having bad feelings spend more time on the Internet B. the Int

30、ernet makes its users psychologically healthy C. Internet use may cause its users depression D. people use the Internet less frequently than before37. The fact that the Internet proved less socially healthy than television _. A. was what the researchers had expected B. went against the researchers e

31、xpectation C. was well understood by the researchers D. was a puzzle the researchers had solved38. According to the passage, one of the possible reasons why Internet use leads to a decline in its users well-being is that _. A. Internet users spend less time with their friends and families B.

32、t users cant get satisfaction from the Internet C. the Internet prevents its users from communicating with their families D. people cant establish lasting relationships with others on the Internet39. In the last paragraph, Christine Riley points out that as to the decline in Internet users well-bein

33、g, _. A. the technology itself should be held responsible B. it is no fault of the technology itself C. the blame lies with Internet users D. the Net itself should take responsibility for it40.

35、on depositors（储户）not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if t

36、hey did not all appear at once, then there would always be funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other

37、 banks anticipated a run the next day, so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller（出纳员）had enough funds on hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply. The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand. Next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the side

38、walk outside. The length of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers windows. Clothing was torn and limbs broken, but the jam continued for hours. The power of the panic atmosphere is evident in the

39、fact that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors, nevertheless withdrew the funds in their own accounts. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doing the same.41. A bank run occurs when _. A. a bank is closed for one or more

40、daysB. too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD. employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank42.

43、 which they could obtain their moneyB. the confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bankC. the confidence that Mrs. Vaught demonstratedD. the failure of several other banks to openIII. Blank-filling (15%) One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his co

44、mpany and feels _46_ loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is protecting his own future. It is not surprising that _47_ to ones company is considered a great _48_ in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firms interests before _49_ of his immediate family.The job security _50_ by this system influences the way Japanese employees _51_ their work. They tend to think _52_ t
