Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
13、You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? “ “When
14、I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And
15、 if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog.“ Thats friendly. But “lucky dog“? There is a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But mentioning the “dog“ puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he do
16、esnt think you ought to have your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for“ is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is
17、the thought that your problem isnt important. Its telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he loo
18、ks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态 )? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. (47) If you spend one minute thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, you may avoid another mistake. 16 This passage is mainly about_. （ A） how to interpret what people say
19、（ B） what to do when you listen to others talking （ C） how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people （ D） why we go wrong with people sometimes 17 According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_. （ A） we fail to listen carefully when they talk （ B） people tend
20、 to be upset when we check what they say （ C） people usually state one thing but mean another （ D） we tend to doubt what our friends say 18 In the sentence “maybe he doesnt see it himself“, the pronoun “it“ refers to_. （ A） being friendly （ B） lucky dog （ C） a bit of envy （ D） your luck 19 When we l

22、ture 20 The author most probably is a_. （ A） teacher （ B） psychologist （ C） writer （ D） doctor 20 A university graduate described as a “respectable and intelligent“ woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, recently studying f
23、or her PhD, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops. Luz, who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road, Cambridge, admitted stealing clothes worth 9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street, London, on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne, prosecuting, said
24、Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies toilet in the store. When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected, having taken off the anti-theft security alarms. She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying, Mr. Lemoyne said.
25、He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions. Luz, 28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October, but Morag Duff, defending, said she had never been in trouble with the police before that. “She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesnt re
26、ally have any explanation why she did this,“ Miss Duff said. “She didnt intend to steal when she went into the store. She is at a loss to explain it. She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady. She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anyt
27、hing in particular that caused her to do this.“ Judge David Azan fined Luz 50, and warned. “Youve got a criminal record. If you carry on like this, you will end up in prison, which will ruin your bright future you may have.“ Luz achieved a degree in design at a university in her native Spain, went o
28、n to a famous university in Berlin, Germany for her masters degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University, UK. 21 What is Ana Luzs nationality? （ A） American. （ B） British. （ C） Spanish. （ D） German. 22 What does the underlined sentence “She is at a loss to explain it“ mean? （ A） In h
29、er opinion it was a loss to the clothes shops where she stole things. （ B） She doesnt have any idea why she has the desire to steal from shops. （ C） She thinks it is a loss for her to explain why she stole things from shops. （ D） Personally she feels ashamed and embarrassed for her shoplifting actio
30、ns. 23 Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “shoplifting“ used in the passage? （ A） Carrying goods in a lift for a shop. （ B） Taking goods to the ladies toilet. （ C） Selecting some goods from a display. （ D） Taking goods from a shop without paying. 24 From the passage we can
31、learn that _. （ A） Ana Luz has already got her PhD at Cambridge University, UK （ B） Ana Luz is ashamed and embarrassed and knows why she often did so （ C） the university graduate will be put in prison if she steals in shops once more （ D） Phillip Lemoyne is the “respectable and intelligent“ womans d
32、efense lawyer 25 What would be the best title for the passage? （ A） Shoplifting Shame of a PhD Student. （ B） Apologizing for the Actions in Shops. （ C） Seeking Professional Help from Experts. （ D） Controlling the Desire to Steal from Shops. 25 Its interesting that the arrival of snow has the effect
33、on people in different countries. (76) For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe (灾害 ) or even a wonder. But there are countries between these two lands that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow reg
34、ularly or in the same quantities every year. Britain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however light, roads are blocked; trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well:
35、 telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain shortages bread, vegetables and other things not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened and go
36、out and store up with food and so on. . . just for fear that something bad should happen. But why does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, the Austrians and the Canadians dont have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipme
37、nt to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow-ploughs (扫雪机 ) and machines to spread salt. (77) The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snow-ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other th
38、ings such as hospitals, education, helping the old, and soon. 26 According to the writer, Britain is a country_. （ A） which has regular snow （ B） which is not well prepared for snow （ C） for which snow is a catastrophe （ D） for which snow is a wonder 27 The arrival of snow in Britain affects all of

41、 yearly happening to celebrate or as rare weather （ B） which either have heavy snow or light snow （ C） to which snow either causes problems or no problems （ D） which either have snow-ploughs or no snow-ploughs 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplet
