Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the
24、correct choice. 53 All of us communicate with one another nonverbally, as well as with words. Most of the time were not aware that were doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone elses eyes and look away, shift positions in a chair. These actions we assume are random(随意的 ) and incide
25、ntal. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to them almost as consistent and comprehensible (可充分了解的 ) as language. Every culture has its own body language, and children understand its meanings along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way
26、 an Englishman crossed his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are apt to end a statement with a droop(垂下 ) of the head or hand, a lowering of the eyelids(眼皮 ). They wind up(结束 )a question with a lift of the hand, a tilt(倾斜 ) of the chin or a widening of the e
27、yes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too: an expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, ethnic(种族的 ) background, social class and personal style all influence y
28、our body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within the American idiom. Communications between human beings would be just that dull if it were all done with words. But actually, words are often the smallest part of it. 53 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） Every t
29、ime people use body language, they realize it. （ B） Only some people may use body language in communication. （ C） Researchers think the body language people use is random and incidental. （ D） Sometimes people may not realize that they are using body language. 54 What is the main idea of paragraphs 2
30、 and 3 ? （ A） Americans communicate differently from Frenchmen. （ B） Its difficult to guess someones nationality by his body language. （ C） Children learn the meaning of body language along with spoken language. （ D） Body language differs in each culture. 55 The phrase “are apt to“ in the second par
31、agraph means “_“. （ A） are likely to （ B） are eager to （ C） are obliged to （ D） are allowed to 56 What helps an expert pick out a native of Wisconsin? （ A） Sex and ethnic background. （ B） Social class and personal style. （ C） Body language. （ D） None of the above. 57 The conclusion of this article i
32、s that _. （ A） communication between human beings is usually dull （ B） the smallest words are best in effective communication （ C） communication without body language would be dull （ D） words are not important in communication Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or un
33、finished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 58 The often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising has grown as society has become more industrialized and, therefore, more commercialized. No modem industry or company can survive without advertising; it is the vital link between the pro
34、ducer and the customer. If advertising were abolished(废止 ), as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise would suffer a considerable loss. Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Televisions primary purpose, however; is no
35、t to provide an entertainment service except in the case of government owned networks. It exists in order to promote products for companies. If the television industry did not receive income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies. Like television,
36、 many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products. In some cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials(社论 ) simply attract people to buy a particular product. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising. Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of t
37、he mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyer to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products that are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or
38、 the development of tires(轮胎 ) that prevent skidding (打滑 ) on wet pavement (路而；人行道 ). Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; however, it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay(转播 ) news from the manufacturer to
39、the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of everyday fife and a part of every companys budget. 58 According to the first paragraph, what attitude do people take towards advertising? （ A） People think highly of advertising. （ B） People criticize advertising. （ C
40、） Some people welcome advertising while others dont. （ D） There are more criticisms of advertising than praises. 59 Modem industry or companies cannot survive _. （ A） if advertising continues to exist （ B） if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains good （ C） if “the criticized child
