For each of them, there are
17、 4 choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41 It has often been said by people involved in language teaching that a student who really wants to learn will succeed in whatever the circu
18、mstances are under which he studies. It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavorable conditions and it is also true that students often succeed in using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their pee
19、rs and it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most important thing that he brings to the classroom.Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to be the case that if we perceive a goal and
20、if that goal is sufficiently attractive. We will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal. Of course, goals may be of many different types of language learners who are motivated also perceive goals of various types and here we might immediately make a distinction between
21、short-term goals and long-term goals. Long-term goals might have something to do with a students wish to get a better job or become a member of the target language community Short-term goals might include such things as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of- semester exam or complete a unit succ
22、essfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and who does not have such a goal. For the latter type of student short-term goals will ofte
23、n be the source of any motivation he has.41 Whats the passage about? _.（A）The way of teaching（B） Types of goals（C） Motivations（D）Language learning42 Whats the key to a successful student according to the passage? _.（A）Circumstances（B） Methods（C） Teachers（D）Motivation43 Who is easier to be taught as
24、far as the teacher is concerned? _.（A）A highly-motivated student with a long-term goal（B） A student with no motivation（C） A student who has to study because of the curriculum（D）A student with the urge to pass the exam44 It seems that all these are factors involved in learning except _.（A）motivation（
25、B） teaching methods（C） learning atmosphere（D）personality45 Who is likely to talk about the subject? _.（A）Experts and authorities concerned（B） Linguists and language teachers（C） Psychologists and analysts（D）Assessors and predictors46 Every nation has a set of rules either written or unwritten, which
26、determines how people act with each other. Formal written rules are often laws and they control how we drive operate a business, or run a government. Individuals who disobey laws may be fined or put in jail. Because illegal behavior generally harms other individuals or societies at large. Our court
27、system must punish people who dont obey these formal rules.Informal rules, often called “manners“, describe correct and incorrect behavior in such situations as eating in a restaurant, going on a date, or working in an office. If one is impolite or misbehaves in these situations, other people often
28、consider offender insensitive. And although we can strongly disagree to such misconduct, we can no legally punish someone for simply being inconsiderate or unpleasant.Neither laws nor manners are inflexible; both changes as society develops. For example, in the early twentieth century, the selling o
29、f strong spirits was forbidden. This law, however, had to be changed because the government found it impossible to force people to drink only soft drinks. More recently, many people who were dissatisfied with the unequals between the rights of men and women worked to pass the equal rights law, as wo
30、men became more independent and took on new roles, a new law was considered necessary to reflect that change.46 According to the passage, people who offended the law may be _.（A）put to death（B） put on afire（C） doing fine（D）put into prison47 In the writers opinion, laws and manners _.（A）are always th
31、e same（B） are changeable（C） can be important if you dine in a restaurant（D）influence each other48 What was not allowed years before? _.（A）The selling of strong spirits（B） Smoking（C） The selling of drinks（D）Drinking in the public49 Whats the main topic of this article? _.（A）How laws are formed（B） Pun
32、ish the people if they disobey the law（C） Laws and manners（D）How did people change their minds about drinking50 According to the passage equal rights law may refer to the equality between _.（A）the black and the white（B） the old and the young（C） women and men（D）the rich and the poor51 In former times
33、 doctors in Taiwan, who were considered saviors, were greatly admired. This is not only because they were able to relieve sick people of their pain and save their lives, but because they demonstrated admirable willingness to help the sick.Now in this industrialized world people are inclined to choos
34、e material possessions. This is true of doctors, too. The high income of doctors is the envy of other people. Many high school graduates are eager to get into medical colleges, and countless girls consider doctors to be their best choice of husbands. For many years the public has charged that doctor
35、s in public hospitals demand money from patients. The amount of money the patients give determines the kind of treatment they receive. It has also been said that drug companies have to pay the doctors so that the latter will use their products.Recently a large medicine factory set up by the U.S. Inv
36、estors declared that it will stop giving “kickbacks“ to doctors as the factory bas spent too much to promote sales over the years. This declaration has caused quite a stir in our society. We wonder what the officials who have denied the dealings mentioned above will say about this.51 According to th
37、e passage why did the doctors in Taiwan deserve our highest admiration in former times? _.（A）Because they were a group of qualified doctors（B） Because they ranked first in wealth（C） Because they were able to cure the sick of poverty（D）Because they were the doctors with medical morals as well as medi
38、cal skill52 Why do many girls regard doctors as their ideal choice of husbands? _.（A）Because doctors are saviors（B） Because doctors are honest（C） Because they get married to doctors for love（D）Because they want to live in great luxury after marriage53 Why shouldnt doctors in public hospitals ask for
39、 the extra money from the sick? _.（A）Because the so-called extra money is a tip to nurses（B） Because the so-called extra money is ill-gotten money（C） Because doctors are honest（D）Because doctors have additional money is ill-gotten money54 The word “kickback“ probably means _.（A）a doctors legal incom
40、e（B） additional money for doctors good service（C） a doctors retiring money（D）money offered to a doctor for unfair things55 Which of the following is not true according to the passage? _.（A）The passage mainly talks about doctors in Taiwan（B） The passage mainly deals with the students with doctor degr
41、ees in Taiwan（C） The doctors in Taiwan are richer than people who do other jobs（D）Doctors are accused of to get money from patients56 When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the warr
42、anty, or any other records which might help at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store mana
43、ger. In general, the “higher up“ the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming, he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get
44、to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show what is wrong with the item he has bought. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best
45、 by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear“ is better than “This stereo does not work“.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to
46、 the manufacturer if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private o
47、r pubic organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.56 When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to_.（A）complain personally to the manager（B） threaten to take the matter to court（C） write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchas
48、e（D）show their written proof of the purchase to the store57 If a consume wants a quick settlement of his problem, its better to complain to_.（A）a shop assistant（B） the store manager（C） the manufacturer（D）a public organization58 The most effective complaint can be made by_.（A）showing the faulty item to the manufacturer（B） explaining exactly what is wrong with the item（C） saying firmly that the item is of poor quality（D）asking politely to change the item59 The phrase “live up to“ (line 12,paragraph 1) in the context means_.（A）meet the standard of（B） realize the purpose of（
