This involves placing flexible needle

19、s into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them. To learn bow to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so

20、the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only

21、 3 or 4 needles. Today, Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth. A patient who needs an op

22、eration is given a choice between having acupuncture and having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep.

27、hemicals in curing diseases. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 The English have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the res

28、t of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reason is, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers

29、he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹 ) in a corner; no one speaks. An English wit (风趣的人 )once suggested to overseas visitors,

30、 “On entering a rail- way compartment, shake hands with all the passengers.“ Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is well known that the English seldom show

31、 openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, etc. Of course, an Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A man of more emotional temperament(性格 )might describe her as “a marvelous jewel“, while the Englishman will flatly state “Un

32、, shes all right.“ An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, “Its not bad.“ The overseas visitors must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest; he must realize that “all right“, “not bad“ are very often used with the sense of “first cl

33、ass“, “excellent“. This special use of language is particularly common in English. 41 One explanation for the different character of English people is that _. （ A） they are geographically separated from the European continent （ B） they have nothing to do with the other Europeans （ C） they like livin

34、g separately （ D） they like living on an island 42 The word “inhibited“ (Para.2) in this passage probably means _. （ A） unable to have good manners （ B） unable to express freely or relax （ C） able to act properly （ D） able to talk freely 43 According to the passage, on entering a railway compartment

35、, an overseas visitor is expected to _. （ A） first ask about behavior in the train （ B） shakes hands with all passengers （ C） shakes hands with the person he knows （ D） behave like an Englishman 44 The English way of commenting on something or somebody suggests that _. （ A） the English are modest （

36、B） the English feel no less than any other nationality （ C） the English tend to display less emotion than they feel （ D） the English dont take a strong interest in anything 45 What does the passage mainly discuss? （ A） The difference between the English and the other Europeans. （ B） The character of

37、 English people. （ C） The shy Englishman. （ D） The code of behavior. Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.

38、sibly no other man has influenced the institutions of government in the United States as much as Thomas Jefferson.

39、es govern themselves, and the third President of the United States. What kind of a man was Thomas Jefferson? He was born in Shadwell, which is now Albemarle Country, Virginia, on April 13, 1743, into the class of people which, throughout his life, he denied had any right to rule over the lives and m

40、inds of other men.
