12、s part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 One of the qualities that mo
13、st people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,“ and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. “ I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had
14、 made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at th
15、e time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on1 eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs
16、in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display b
17、ack together; so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯 ). He severely scolded me and wa
18、nted me to pay for any broken eggs; I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. 16 How old was the author when he wrote this article? （ A） About 8. （ B） About 18. （ C） About 23. （ D） About 15.
19、 17 Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons? （ A） The author. （ B） The manager. （ C） A woman. （ D） The authors mother. 18 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager. （ B） The author was s
20、everely criticized by the manager. （ C） A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons. （ D） It was the author who put the display back together. 19 Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage? （ A） Its Harder to Admit Ones Mistake. （ B） I Was Once the Culprit. （ C） I Re
21、member an Incident. （ D） A Case of Mistaken Identity. 20 The tone of the article expresses the authors_. （ A） admiration for the managers willingness to admit mistakes （ B） anger to the manager for his wrong accusation （ C） indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons （ D） reg
22、ret for the mistake he made in the store 20 Salt is as necessary to life as water. In many areas of Africa people once drank the urine (尿 ) of animals because they had no other source of salt. Without salt, human beings die. The human body demands that the amount of salt in the blood always stay the
23、 same. When the body does not get enough salt, it protects itself by letting less salt leave the body in urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. Some salt is always escaping. On a completely saltless diet, like that of some people in Africa, the body steadily loses small amounts o
24、f salt through the kidneys (肾 ) and sweat glands (腺 ). It then tries to adjust to this loss by speeding up its secretion (分泌 ) of water. (78) In this way, the body attempts to keep the amount of salt in the blood at the necessary level. The result is a slow drying up of body and, finally, death. The
25、 person dies of thirst. In cases where there is little or no water to drink, the body tries to do the opposite thing. Again, it must keep the salt level in the blood constant. Because it has little water, it attempts to stop water from leaving the body and to increase its secretion of salt. But, as
26、with the escaping salt, it cannot be completely successful. Some water still leaves and the person eventually dies of thirst. In short, the bodys normal needs for salt and for water are both parts of the same important need to keep the salt level in the blood constant. 21 Some African people once dr
27、ank animal urine_. （ A） when they were going to die （ B） because they were thirsty （ C） because there was little salt （ D） because they were short of water 22 In order to adjust to the loss of salt, the body_. （ A） loses some blood （ B） speeds up its secretion of water （ C） speeds up its secretion o
28、f salt （ D） is drying up slowly 23 Which of the following statements is NOT the result of a lack of salt in the body? （ A） The body secretes more water. （ B） The body dries up. （ C） The person dies of thirst. （ D） The person gets fatter. 24 What does the word “constant“ (Line 2, Para. 3) mean in the
29、 passage? （ A） The same. （ B） Amount. （ C） Going up and down. （ D） Changing. 25 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Salt is very important. （ B） If their blood salt level is not constant, human beings may die. （ C） The amount of salt in the body is secreted. （ D） People can die of thirst. 25
