27、g A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When
28、I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend7 Or did he envy my luck?“ “And why didnt Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?“ 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 friend
29、s or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog“ thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“ ? Theres a bit of envy in those wor
30、ds. Maybe he doesnt see it himself. But bringing in the “dog“ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve 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 spe
31、aker 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 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 re
32、al meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you
33、 may save another mistake. 46 This passage is mainly about_. （ A） how to interpret what people say （ 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 47 According to the author, the reason why we go
34、 wrong about our friends is that_. （ A） we fail to listen carefully when they talk （ B） people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say （ C） people usually state one thing but means another （ D） we tend to doubt what our friends say 48 In the sentence “Maybe he doesnt see it himself“ in the se
35、cond paragraph, the pronoun “it“ refers to_. （ A） being friendly （ B） a bit of envy （ C） lucky dog （ D） your luck 49 When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is_. （ A） notice the way the person is talking （ B） take a good look at the person talking （ C） mind his tone
36、, his posture and the look in his eyes （ D） examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture 50 The author most probably is a_. （ A） teacher （ B） philosopher （ C） psychologist （ D） doctor 50 SMS (Short Message Service) gradually becomes the main service for cell
37、 phone users for its great charming. In addition, the development of mobile communications technology and service has created favorable condition for SMS. For example, MMS, multi-media messaging service, is a new type of message service on the basis of SMS. It allows transmission of multi-media mess
38、ages between cell phone and computer, as well as between cell phones. Communication with SMS is quite convenient. You can write a message after carefully thinking what you want to say with many words without worrying about money. Actually, SMS enjoys the absolute majority utilization among mobile se
39、rvice. In China, the number of short message transmitted is 2,200 billion in 2003. People, however, feel angry and anxious sometimes while enjoying SMS. More and more rubbish short messages that contain such content as erotic, gambling, or advertising are sent to cell phone users, which seriously vi
40、olated the users privacy. Because the sender of these rubbish short messages do not take into account whether people need them or not, and do not get the permission from users to transmit these rubbish short messages to them. As we know, everyone has the right to communication freely with other peop
41、le, and the right to refuse communication with people they dont like to. But these rights were not guaranteed in SMS. Users do not receive rubbish short messages on a voluntary basis. If you fell angry and disgusted with some rubbish message to your cell phone, and do not want to see it again, that
42、means such message is in contradiction with your wish, and violates your privacy. MMS also promote the transmission of unhealthy information on the Internet from computer to cell phone, which must extend the scope and influence of rubbish short message. The rapid development of mobile communications
43、 may suffer a lot if there is no change in the way of transmitting SMS. More and more users of cell phone are disturbed by rubbish short messages, and their privacy is violated by mobile communications service, which is also not a benefit for the development of mobile communications service. 51 _has
44、 created a good condition for SMS. （ A） Multi-media messaging service （ B） Mobile communications technology （ C） Mobile communications service （ D） Mobile communications technology and service 52 By MMS, short messages can be transmitted except between_. （ A） cell phones （ B） computers （ C） cell pho
45、ne and computer （ D） mobile phone and computer 53 People sometimes dont enjoy SMS because_. （ A） SMS also sends rubbish short messages （ B） SMS violates their privacy （ C） SMS does not consider whether people need it or not （ D） SMS doesnt get peoples permission to send them messages 54 MMS may viol
46、ate peoples privacy because_. （ A） SMS doesnt take measures to forbidden it （ B） SMS doesnt guarantee peoples privacy （ C） it makes rubbish short messages transmission easier （ D） it extends the scope and influence of rubbish short message 55 From the text we know that_. （ A） people should refuse ru
47、bbish short messages （ B） SMS should think of a way to get rid of rubbish short messages （ C） MMS should not allow people to send messages from the Internet to cell phones （ D） SMS benefits from rubbish short messages 55 As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the English class syste
48、m. This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less. But it still exists. Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the “middle class“ and the “working class“ (We shall ignore
49、 for a moment the old “upper class“, since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising interest in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of businessmen and professional people of all kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers. The most obvious difference
