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 mo
27、ney. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?“ “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?“ “And why didnt Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?“ Whe
28、n 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. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we dont really listen we miss the feeling behind the
29、 words. Suppose someone tells you, “Youre a lucky dog“ thats being friendly. But “lucky dog“? Theres a bit of envy in those words. 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
30、 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 the thought that your problem isnt important. Its tell
31、ing 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 looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? Hi
32、s posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you 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 mistak
33、es when you communicate with people （ D） why we go wrong with people sometimes 47 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 to be annoyed when we check what they say （ C） people usually state one t
34、hing but means another （ D） we tend to doubt what our friends say 48 In the sentence “Maybe he doesnt see it himself“ in the second 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 t
35、hing 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, 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） te
36、acher （ B） philosopher （ C） psychologist （ D） doctor 50 SMS(Short Message Service)gradually becomes the main service for cell 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, mu
37、lti-media messaging service, is a new type of message service on the basis of SMS. It allows transmission of multi-media messages 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 wan
38、t to say with many words without worrying about money. Actually, SMS enjoys the absolute majority utilization among mobile service. 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
39、 short messages that contain such content as erotic, gambling, or advertising are sent to cell phone users, which seriously violated 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 user
40、s to transmit these rubbish short messages to them. As we know, everyone has the right to communication freely with other people, 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 volunta
41、ry basis. If you fell angry and disgusted with some rubbish message to your cell phone, and do not want to see it again, that 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
42、cell phone, which must extend the scope and influence of rubbish short message. The rapid development of mobile communications 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 viola
43、ted by mobile communications service, which is also not a benefit for the development of mobile communications service. 51 _has created a good condition for SMS. （ A） Multi-media messaging service （ B） Mobile communications technology （ C） Mobile communications service （ D） Mobile communications tec
44、hnology and service 52 By MMS, short messages can be transmitted except between_. （ A） cell phones （ B） computers （ C） cell phone 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） S
45、MS does not consider whether people need it or not （ D） SMS doesnt get peoples permission to send them messages 54 MMS may violate peoples privacy because_. （ A） SMS doesnt take measures to forbidden it （ B） SMS doesnt guarantee peoples privacy （ C） it makes rubbish short messages transmission easie
46、r （ D） it extends the scope and influence of rubbish short message 55 From the text we know that_. （ A） people should refuse rubbish 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 （
47、 D） SMS benefits from rubbish short messages 55 As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the English class system. 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
48、 it still exists. Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the “middle class“ and the “working class“(We shall ignore 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
49、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 between them is in their accent. Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of “received pronunciation“ , which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcer
