Passage 1
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words) 6. What’s this passage about?

Passage 2
A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush---often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served
and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return -- be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)
11. Which of the following statements is wrong? ______________ A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. B. Americans attach less importance to patience.
C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.
12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means______________.
A. a less important thing B. a first concern C. a good business D. an attractive gift 13. Americans evaluate a business colleague______________. A. through social courtesy
B. through prolonged business talks C. by establishing business relations
D. by learning about their past performance
14. This passage mainly talks about______________. A. how Americans treasure their time B. how busy Americans are every day
C. how Americans do business with foreigners D. what American way of life is like

A. critical B. ironical C. praiseful D. objective

Passage 1
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.

Passage 2
It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.
Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.
Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems. 11. What is soap opera? _________
A. Plays based on science fiction stories. B. Plays based on non-fiction stories. C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. D. Popular documentary films on TV.
12. What can be the best title of the passage? _________ A. College student viewers. B. Favorite TV serials. C. Soap opera fans. D. College-age viewers.
13. Which is NOT the reasons why the soap opera has suddenly
become “in” among American young people? _________ A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.
B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.
C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.
D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.
14. What can we learn from the passage? _________
A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.
B. Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people
today.
C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.
D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.
15. What message does the author want to convey to us? _________
A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.

However, many of the young students are getting absorbed in such poisonous reading, which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and bring them nightmares and immoral ideas 24 return. Homework is left undone, daily games lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 25 they are, we never know, are making their silent money. The sheep skinned wolf’s stories seem to have been forgotten once again.
Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes, both teachers and parents have 26 each other for more strict control of the young readers. Yet unfortunately, 27 you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even find several children share one patched paper, which has traveled from one hand to 28 driven by the curious nature.

第二部分：阅读理解 (共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分)
Passage 1
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
6. Which of the following statements is NOT true? _________ A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.
7. With the same money _________, one can buy a little house
with a garden in the country.
A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden
8. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one _________ has been rewarded.
A. living in the country
B. having spent time working in the garden C. having a garden of his own
D. having been digging, planting and watering
9. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that
_________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless
B. their life was invaluable
C. they didn’t deserve a happy life
D. they were not worthy of their happy life
10. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to_________.
A. deal with B. do away with
C. escape from D. prevent from
Passage 2
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others--they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us---an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer, who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death---such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
11. The passage mainly deals with _________. A. life and death B. heroes and heroines
C. heroes and icons D. icons and celebrities 12. Heroes and heroines are usually _________. A. courageous B. exemplary
C. self-sacrificing D. all of the above
13. Which of the following statements is wrong? _________
A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.
B. Superstars are famous for being famous. C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.
D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.
14. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _________.
A. when she was 19 B. when she became a princess C. just before her death D. after she gave birth to a prince 15. What is more likely to set an icon’s status? _________ A. Good looks. B. Tragic and early death.
C. Personal attraction. D. The quality of one’s story.

Passage 2
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
11. Our long-term goals mean a lot____________. A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. If we complete the short-term goals C. if we have dreams of the future D. if we put forward some plans
12. New short-term goals are built upon____________. A. a daily basis B. your achievement in a week
C. current activities D. the goals that have been completed 13. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________. A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed C. we will build up our confidence to achieve success D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals 14. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________ A. Life is a dynamic thing.
B. we should set up long-term goals. C. Different kinds of goals in life. D. The limitation of long-term goals.
15. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________
A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without
achieving short-term goals.
B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.
C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to
limit us.
D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.

Passage 1
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 6. The origin of language is_________. A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved
7. What is true about words? _________ A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds. D. They are mysterious.
8. The real power of words consists in their_________. A. properties B. characteristics
C. peculiarity D. representative function
9. By “association”in the last paragraph, the author means_________.
A. a special quality B. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature
10. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________
A. He is no more than a master of words.
B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears. D. His style is always charming.
Passage 2
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.
11. What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)
_________
A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.
C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.
D. Shy people think they are different from others. 12. According to the writer, self-awareness is_________. A. a good quality B. the cause of unhappiness
C. harmful to people D. a weak point of shy people 13. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _________.
A. good B. unreal C. very reasonable D. harmful
14. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________.
A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential
B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life
D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem
15. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people_________. A. should find more of their weakness
B. should understand themselves in the right way C. had better ignore their weakness
