5、部分 阅读理解(总题数：0，分数：0.00)AJim was a young man in his early twenties who was studying to be a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and worthy of trust, so his boss was pleased with him. As he was such a likable man and easy to deal with, he was popular with his workmates, too. They also made fun of h
6、im a great deal but he never got angry with them and would only laugh. But Jim“s one great shortcoming was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth. He used to stand in
7、 front of the mirror and practice lying while looking himself in the eyes at the same time. But as soon as he saw his face starting to go red he had to look away. One morning, however, he didn“t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn“t ended till the earl
8、y hours of the morning. And so far the first time in his life he decided to take the day off. He rang his boss, pretending to be a woman. “I“m afraid Jim can“t come to work today. He isn“t feeling very well.“ Poor Jim was thankful that his boss couldn“t see him just at that moment because his hands
9、were trembling (发抖) and his face was bright red. “Thank you for letting me know,“ said Mr. Woods, his boss, and then just as he was about to hang up, he said, “just a moment, madam, who“s speaking.“ “Oh!“ he stammered (口气地说), and going all out for making a voice like a woman, he cried in a voice: “T

11、 _.（分数：3.00）A.skillful workerB.skillful carpenterC.researcher studying how to be a carpenterD.being-trained carpenterBPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a bo
12、x with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to colour or cut out games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy productsor to ask their parents for them. Some packages sugges
13、t 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 product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the
14、 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“ or “Family Size“ printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out a buyer
15、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 words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside
16、can do that.（分数：12.00）(1).People are likely to buy the product sold in a glass or dish because _.（分数：3.00）A.they have no other choiceB.they think they can get the container for freeC.the container is too attractiveD.they believe the cost of the container is included in the cost of the product(2).As

18、ost probably means that _.（分数：3.00）A.a buyer will not get what he wants toB.a buyer will gain more than he losesC.a buyer will get what he pays forD.a buyer will get something useful free of charge(4).Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：3.00）A.On seeing a well-desig
19、ned container, a buyer often neglects what is inside it.B.A buyer is also attracted by the size of the container.C.Children are often made to buy a product by its package with attractive pictures.D.Package is often a successful advertisement.CMaybe 10 years old Elizabeth put it best when she said to
20、 her father, “But, Dad, you can“t be healthy if you are dead.“ Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belta mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts since their
21、first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. Myth Number One: It“s best to be “thrown clear“ of a serious accident. Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear“ is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing, and
22、chances are you“ll have travelled through a windshield or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear“. Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap“ people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: So
23、rry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious for not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in th
24、em. Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren“t needed at a speed of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). Truth: When two cars travelling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force head first into the ground from a height of 10 meters.（分数：9.00）(1).The reason “Father
25、 was in a hurry to get home“ was that he _.（分数：3.00）A.wasn“t feeling very wellB.hated to drive in the darkC.wanted to take some exerciseD.didn“t want to be caught by the police(2).Why did Elizabeth say to her father “But, Dad, you can“t be healthy if you are dead“?（分数：3.00）A.He was driving at great
