16、w, the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the
17、palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day, a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The Prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth your fair daughter,“ the young man replied poetically (得体
18、地). He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in
19、the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then
20、 a fifth locust came and.“ “Stop,“ shouted the Prince. “I can“t,“ answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.“ “But that will go on forever.“ The Prince protested. “Exactly,“ the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince“s be

23、houseB.a large farmC.a beautiful palaceD.a waterproof kitchen(5).The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _.（分数：2.00）A.a loafB.a small holeC.a grain of cornD.a locust四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a pr
24、oduct. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motiv
25、ate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the produ
26、ct in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size“ printed on it. This suggests that the large, size has the most produc
27、t for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The
28、 words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising
29、.C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.(2).The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing“ (Line 1, Para. 2) probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.a buyer will get something free of chargeB.a buyer will get something uselessC.a buyer will
30、 get something usefulD.nothing is worth buying(3).Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B.Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C.A product in a
31、reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.D.“Economy Size“ doesn“t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money.(4).What does the word “them“ (Line 5, Para. 1) refer to?（分数：2.00）A.Small gifts.B.Pictures.C.Games.D.Products.(5).What does
32、the author imply in the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.Package is just an advertisement.B.Buyers shouldn“t believe the information on the package too much.C.The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D.Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)
33、For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world“s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has stone knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use
34、 words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare“s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “i
35、t was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.“ Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. Th
36、ere is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usag
37、e, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare“s day.（分数：10.00）(1).English people _.（分数：2.00）A.have never discussed who is the world“s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world“s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world“s greatest poet and g
38、reatest dramatistD.do not care who is the world“s greatest poet and greatest dramatist(2).Every Englishman knows _.（分数：2.00）A.more or less about ShakespeareB.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare“s writingsD.only the name of the greatest English writer(3).Which of the following is TRUE
39、?（分数：2.00）A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare“s writings.B.Shakespeare“s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D.All the words people use are ta
40、ken from Shakespeare“s writings.(4).“HAMLET“ is _.（分数：2.00）A.a play written by ShakespeareB.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about(5).It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _.（分数：2.
41、00）A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare“s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare“s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare“s days六、Passage 4(总题数：1，
42、分数：10.00)Most cities and/or states in the U.S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place to place, fr
43、om one or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for example, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything mor
44、e expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued (遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other p
45、eople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don“t, the service person can“t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you
46、 should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of th
47、is passage is _.（分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tippingD.sales taxes and people(2).According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _ as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4C.$5D.$5.5(3).Usually, cab drivers _.（分数：2.00）A.get h
48、igh wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employerD.get prize from the employer(4).According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B.The Westerners don“t have to pa
49、y high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.(5).Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax _.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B
