13、 brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 10 Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear
14、did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two
15、 guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Eve
16、n in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will
17、warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well. In some cases, however, you decide that the
18、re is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you
19、have to try to overcome it. 11 Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if_. （ A） they were given no warning beforehand （ B） they had never burnt themselves （ C） they had no sense of pain （ D） they were fearful of the fire 12 A really fearless soldier_. （ A） is of little use t
20、o the army （ B） is without equal （ C） is nothing but a dead soldier （ D） easily gets killed in a battle 13 Fear should be used properly because_. （ A） an airplane may crash on your house （ B） you may get cancer （ C） fear can only be used as a servant and guide （ D） men are now letting fear rule them
21、 too much 13 Is the customer always right? The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in. shopping is very much a part of a countrys culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food. From the air-conditioned American s
22、hopping centers to the street market of African towns, the way we shop shows the way we seen ourselves and our relationships with other people. Business competition in Europe has given consumers increased power. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what cus
23、tomer service really means. People often point to America as an example of excellent customer service. In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refi
24、ll your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant might well dream of such attention, but do Europeans really want US style service? As a friend of mine once told me, “By the end of the evening I had spent as much time
25、talking to the waiter as to my wife. “ It is a question of expectation. Different nationalities expect different types of service. A Chinese-American friend loves telling people about how her Chinese mother shops for clothes: “First of all she waits until they are on sale, then she bargains until sh
26、e gets an even better price and then she finds some small fault with the product and demands a further reduction. She never buys anything at the regular price. “ Could you imagine trying such tricks in a department store in your country? Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employers att
27、itudes to their workers. As American sales and service personnel are heavily reliant on commission and tips, they have more motives to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and 12 hour shifts? It might not be a case of “I
28、s the customer always right?“ but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?“ 14 The way people shop_. （ A） carries social and cultural values （ B） reflects the developmental stage of a country （ C） determines the way they socialize （ D） reveals their social status 15 The word “compliment“ in
29、 Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_“. （ A） evaluate （ B） criticize （ C） laugh at （ D） praise 16 The remarks of the authors friend in Paragraph 3 indicate that Europeans_. （ A） think highly of the American service （ B） find it impossible to accept the American service （ C） do not appreciate the
30、American service （ D） will gradually accept the American service 17 Why does the author use the Chinese mothers shopping experience as an example? （ A） To warn shop assistants of tough customers. （ B） To teach people how to get better service as customers. （ C） To criticize some improper shopping be
31、havior. （ D） To show how different peoples expectations of service are. 18 According to the last paragraph, the service quality of American sevice personnel may depend on_. （ A） the customers attitude towards them （ B） the amount of commission and tips （ C） the length of their working hours （ D） the
32、ir working experience 18 How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with eac
33、h other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associationsthe things they bring up
34、before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not
35、only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their
36、position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and dull. 19 The origin of language is_. （ A） a legend handed down from the past （ B） a matter that is hidden secretly （ C） a question d
37、ifficult to answer （ D） a problem not yet solved 20 One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that_. （ A） they could agree upon certain signs （ B） they could write them down （ C） they could communicate with each other （ D） they could combine them 21 What
38、is true about the words? （ A） They are used to express feelings only. （ B） They cannot be written down. （ C） They are simply sounds. （ D） They are mysterious. 22 In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able_. （ A） to confuse the readers （ B） to move men to tears （ C） to move our actions （ D）
39、 to puzzle our feelings 23 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? （ A） He is no more a master of words than an ordinary person. （ B） He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. （ C） He can move men to tears. （ D） His style is always charming. 24 The best title
40、 for this passage is_. （ A） The Origin and Function of Language B Language: Measure to Communicate （ B） The Power of Words （ C） The Importance of Language 24 Today is the anniversary of that afternoon in April a year ago that I first saw the strange and appealing doll (玩具 娃娃 ) in the window of Abe S
41、heftels toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads: Dr. Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first hint of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the
42、street smells of the poor neighborhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftels, I was made once more aware of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the approaching birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending
43、 modest gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the confusing collection of unappealing objectsa red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft-drink
44、s. And thus it was that my eyes eventually came to rest upon the doll stored away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows and the film of dust through which I was looking, but I was aware that a tremendous im
45、pression had been made upon me as though -I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed. 25 What made an impression on the author? （ A） The dolls unusual face. （ B） The collection of toys. （ C） A stranger he met at the store. （ D） The
46、resemblance of the doll to his niece. 26 Why does the author mention his niece? （ A） She likes dolls. （ B） The doll looks like her. （ C） She lives near Sheftels. （ D） He was looking for a gift for her. 27 Why did the author go past Sheftels? （ A） He was on his way to work. （ B） He was looking for a
47、present for his niece. （ C） He wanted to buy some envelopes. （ D） He liked to look in the shop windows. 28 The story takes place in the_. （ A） early summer （ B） early spring （ C） midsummer （ D） late spring 29 Most of the things in the store window were_. （ A） expensive （ B） appealing （ C） neatly arr

49、king a bad habit or establishing a new, healthy one can be difficult, but persistence pays off.
