14、ng who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, The
15、re is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it. This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is mad
16、e of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth. The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store t
17、hat sells the products or in what the labels say. 31 The law requires that furs carry a_.（A）clean label（B） clear label（C） white label（D）secret label32 In the article, the author says a little about_.（A）black market of furs（B） managers office（C） chemical laboratories（D）clothing stores33 The author do

19、s what material the product is made of.（D）Not all buyers know the material they are buying. 35 This article mainly refers to_.（A）making furs and clothes（B） protecting buyers with law（C） keeping the buyer informed（D）businessmen and sellers35 Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husban
20、d and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parent
21、s do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. Bu
22、t in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the
23、 family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively f
24、ew adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into “solid citizens“ who fulfill most of their parents expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap“ is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents values and ideas. Many parents feel that they
25、 get along with their adolescents quite well. 36 According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect_.（A）feeling of hatred（B） power struggle（C） that they dont care for each other（D）that they may appeal to divorce37 As children enter adolescence, they begin to do the following
26、 EXCEPT_.（A）demanding greater freedom to go wherever they please（B） making decisions without parental interference（C） getting married whenever they please（D）doing what they please38 “ . . . generation gap is narrowing. “ means_.（A）the adolescents now become timid（B） parents dont want to interfere wi
27、th their children s freedom（C） the vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents values and ideas（D）parents and teenager dont like to quarrel39 Parents and children often disagree about what is important or right because_.（A）they have different styles of life（B） they hate each other（C） pare
28、nts think that their children are troublemakers（D）they are in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values40 When many American parents dont know how to deal with their children, they seek advice from the following EXCEPT_.（A）neighbors（B） parent-training courses（C） books（D）lectures40 The En
29、glish have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing hi
30、m from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment(车厢)any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking busine
31、ssmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing(打盹)in a corner, and no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, “On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers. “ Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly underst
32、ood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is well known that the English seldom show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, etc. Of course, Englishman feels no less than any other nationality. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a y
33、oung girl. A man of more emotional temperament might describe her as “a marvelous jewel“ , while the Englishman will flatly state “Um, she s all right. “ An Englishman may recommend a highly successful and enjoyable film to friends by commenting, “ It s not bad. “ The overseas visitors must not be d
34、isappointed by this apparent lack of interest. They must realize that “all right“ “not bad“ are very often used with the sense of “first class“excellent“. This special use of language is particularly common in English. 41 One explanation for the different character of English people is that_.（A）they
35、 are geographically isolated from the European continent（B） they have nothing to do with the other Europeans（C） they like to keep quiet among their acquaintances（D）they tend to be reserved by nature42 The word “inhibited“(Para. 2)in this passage probably means_.（A）unable to have good manners（B） unab
36、le to express and relax freely（C） able to act properly（D）able to talk freely43 According to the passage, on entering a railway compartment, an overseas visitor is expected to_.（A）inquire about the code of behavior in the train（B） shake hands with all the passengers（C） shake hands with the person he
37、knows（D）behave like an Englishman44 The English way of commenting on something or somebody suggests that_.（A）the English are modest in most circumstances（B） the English feel no less than any other nationality（C） the English tend to display less emotion than they feel（D）the English dont take a strong
38、 interest in making comment45 What does the passage mainly discuss?（A）The differences between the English and the other Europeans.（B） The different character of the Englishman and its reason.（C） The reasons for English people s shyness.（D）The code of behavior of the nationalities in Europe. 45 Many
39、things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know. First, we know that all men in the world have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language. And, in historical times, there has never been a race
40、 of men without a language. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thous
41、ands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary(反面)has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive way. Study has proved this t
42、o be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek. A third thing we know abou
43、t language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead o
44、nes. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language. 46 What can
45、 be inferred from the second paragraph?（A）Some backward race of men doesn t have a language of their own.（B） Some race of men in history didn t posses a language of their own.（C） Any human race, whether backward or not, has a language.（D）Some race of men o earth can communicate without language. 47
46、What kind of language can peoples of undeveloped cultures have?（A）Complicated.（B） Uncivilized.（C） Primitive.（D）Well-known. 48 People used to think Indians communicated_.（A）with complicated language（B） in a primitive way（C） with hand gestures（D）through body movements49 What does the word “adequate“(P
47、ara. 4)most probably mean?（A）Primitive.（B） Unique.（C） Sufficient.（D）Proper. 50 According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in_.（A）grammar（B） pronunciation（C） vocabulary（D）intonation二、Cloze50 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to
