12、lyO. petitions Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any 1 you may have. Ask to see the buyer in a large store. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain 2 . In a chain store ask to see the ma
13、nager. Even the bravest person finds it difficult to complain face to face, so if you do not want to do it in 3 ,write a letter. Be sure to 4 to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, but you should not need to give receipts or other papers to
14、 prove you bought the article. If you are not 5 with the answer you get, or if you do not get a reply, write to the managing director of the firm, shop, or organization. Be sure to keep copies of your own letters and any you receive. If your complaint is a just one, the shopkeeper may offer to 6 or
15、repair the faulty article. You may find this an 7 solution. In certain cases you may have the right to refuse the goods and ask for your money back,but this is only where you have hardly used the goods and have acted at once. Even when you cannot refuse the goods you may be able to get some money ba
16、ck as well. And if you have suffered some 8 loss, if for example a new washing machine tears your clothes, you might receive money to replace them. If the shopkeeper offers you a credit note to be used to buy goods in the same shops but you would rather have money, say so. If you accept a credit not
17、e remember that later you will not be able to ask for your money. If the shopkeeper refuses to give you money, ask for 9 from your Citizens Advice Bureau before you accept a credit note. In some cases the shopkeeper does not have to give you your money back-if, for example, he changes an article sim
18、ply because you dont like it or it does not fit. He does not hive to take back the goods in these 10 .（分数：10.00）A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J.K.L.M.N.O.A.B.C.D.

20、rt, or mathematics during pregnancy seemutterly impossible. How could such extremely complexinfluences pass from the mother to the child? There is noconnection between their nervous systems. Even the bloodvessels of mother and child do not join directly. An emotionalshock to the mother will affect h
21、er child, because it changes theactivity of her glands and so the chemistry her blood. Anychemical change in the mothers blood will affect the child for better or worse. But we can not seehow a looking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similarliking or genius i
22、n the child. In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inheritmust be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior. Itis certain that no one inherits knowledge of mathematics. It may be, however, that children in
23、heritmore or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence. If very intelligent childrenbecome deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study. As for musical ability, it may be that what is inherited is an especially sensitive ear, a peculiarstruct
24、ure of the hands or the vocal organs connections between nerves and muscles that make itcomparatively easy to learn the movements a musician must execute, and particularly vigorousemotions. If these factors are all organized around music, the child may become a musician. Thesame factors, in other ci
25、rcumstance might be organized about some other center of interest. Therich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry. The capable fingers might develop skillin surgery. It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but acertain bodily structure that make
26、s it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill.Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decidedentirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statements is not true?（分数：1.00）A.Some mother
27、s try to influence their unborn children by studying art and other subjects duringtheir pregnancy.B.It is utterly impossible for us to learn anything about prenatal development.C.The blood vessels of mother and child do not join directly.D.There are no connection between mothers nervous systems and
28、her unborn childs.(2).A mother will affect her unborn baby on the condition that _.（分数：1.00）A.she is emotionally shockedB.she has a good knowledge of inheritanceC.she takes part in all kind of activitiesD.she sticks to studying(3).According to the passage, a child may inherit_.（分数：1.00）A.everything
29、from his motherB.a knowledge of mathematicsC.a rather general ability that we call intelligenceD.her mothers musical ability(4).If a child inherits something from his mother, such as an especially sensitive ear, a peculiarstructure of the hands or of the vocal organs, he will _.（分数：1.00）A.surely bec
30、ome musicianB.mostly become a poetC.possibly become a teacherD.become a musician on the condition that all these factors are organized around music(5).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Role of Inheritance.B.An Unborn Child.C.Function of instincts.D.Inherited Talents
31、.passage two Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is saidthewords. Words do provide us with some information, butmeanings are derived from so many other sources that it wouldhinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely tooheavily on words alone. Words are used to describ
32、e only a smallpart of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associationsif we listen for more than words. We dont always say what wemean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words dont meananything except Im letting off some steam. I dont r
33、eally want you to pay close attention towhat Im saying. Just pay attention to what Im feeling. Mostly we mean several things at once. Aperson wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, This step has to be fixed beforeIll buy. The owner says, Its been like that for years. Actually, the st
34、ep hasnt been like that foryears, but the unspoken message is: I dont want to fix it. We put up with it. Why cant you?The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message interms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was
35、said. When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactlythe same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and theother couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great dealmore than the
36、frequency of the behavior. A friends unusually docile behavior may only beunderstood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount ofassertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses anddefy logic. For example, a person who says
37、 No! to a serials of charges like Youre dumb, Youre lazy, and Youre dishonest, may also say No! and try to justify his or her response ifthe next statement is And youre good looking. We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, If sure has been nice tohave you over, can be s
38、aid with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be saidonce or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will changeaccordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimesthe more we say something the less importan
39、ce it assumes.（分数：5.00）(1).Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if _.（分数：1.00）A.they use proper words to carry their ideas.B.they both speak truly of their own feelings.C.they try to understand each others ideas beyond words.D.they are capable of associating
40、meaning with their words.(2).Im letting off some steam in paragraph 1 means_.（分数：1.00）A.Im just calling your attention.B.Im just kidding.C.Im just saying the opposite.D.Im just giving off some sound.(3).The house-owners example shows that he actually means_.（分数：1.00）A.the step has been like that for
41、 years.B.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the step.C.the condition of the step is only a minor fault.D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared.(4).Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if_.（分数：1.00）A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness.B.se
42、en as ones habitual pattern of behavior.C.taken as part of an ordering sequence.D.expressed to a series of charges.(5).The word ritualistically in the last paragraph equals something done_.（分数：1.00）A.without true intention.B.light-heartedly.C.in a way of ceremony.D.with less emphasis.七、SECTION B SHO
43、RT ANSW(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Would-be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common: they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.
44、Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher. Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitu
45、des to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy linguistic discrimination is a thing of the past. An ongoing research p
46、roject, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. NO was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it di
