11、ecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name. “J.C

12、 he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse“, and he had a new name. Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio StateUniversity. He had to work part-time so as to pay for his education. As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records th

13、an he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions

14、 that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book. The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate

15、 any of the African American winners. “It was all right with me,“ he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.“ Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States u

16、ntil 1976, four years before his death. Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs. “Sure, it bothered me,“ he said later. “But at least it was an honest livin

17、g. I had to eat.“ In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,“ he once said. “Time has stood still for me.

21、 Moment A Life Time Struggle （ C） Making A Living As A Sportsman （ D） How To Be A Successful Athlete 21 A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used. Americans have little concern for “rank“, especially socially. (76) Most America

22、ns do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel uncomfortable. Many Americans even find the terms “Mr. “, “Mrs.“ or “Miss.“ too formal. People of all ages may prefer to be called by their first names. “Dont call me Mrs. Smith, jus

23、t call me Sally.“ Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite acceptable to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will use first names but you are accustomed to being more formal

24、 when you first meet someone. Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names: “Mary Smith, this is John Jones.“ In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady “Mary“ or “Miss Smith“. Sometimes both of you will begin a conversation using last names, and after a

25、while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you dont want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom. 21 In the first paragraph the author tells us that _. （ A） Americans do not talk about rank, es

26、pecially socially （ B） Americans feel uncomfortable when talking about rank （ C） Americans take interests in social customs （ D） Americans dont care much about social rank 22 According to the passage, most Americans feel _ when they are treated especially respectfully owing to their age or social ra

28、 only first names. （ D） When you talk to people in the United States, you have to use their first names. 24 If an American lady says “Dont call me Mrs. Smith, just call me Sally“, that shows _. （ A） she is not a married woman （ B） she prefers to be called “Sally“ （ C） she is not Mrs Smith （ D） she l

29、ikes to be more formal 25 The passage youve just read would most likely be found in a _. （ A） guide-book for tourists （ B） book about American history （ C） notice （ D） short story 26 Blind people can “see“ things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings

30、about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously (无意识地 ). (79) Manufacturers (生产商 ) have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics (化妆品 ) should

31、never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology. Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm,

32、while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive (刺激 ). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-prote

33、ction. (80) Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opp

34、osite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow col

35、ors that stop the traffic dead. 26 Our preferences for certain colors are _ according to the passage. （ A） associated with the time of the day （ B） dependent on our personalities （ C） are linked with our ancestors （ D） partly due to psychological factors 27 If people are exposed to bright red, which
