The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or a
17、rm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas“. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time la
18、ughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As
19、he didnt know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth Was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.41 The first paragraph mainly_.（
20、A）describes the pain during an operation（B） advises people not to worry about the pain（C） describes how a doctor worked before（D）introduces a new product42 It can be inferred that the gas is called “laughing gas“ because_.（A）it makes people happy（B） it makes people laugh（C） it stops pain（D）it kills

23、过分自信的 ) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U. S. , children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with thei
24、r teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has anything in it or the meat is too tough to eat, the diner can complain to the waiter: if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.Some straight talk about the American character
25、must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isnt always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. Btittne des
26、ire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind, arid even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doi
27、ng things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and land-hearted. Most newcomers
28、to the U. S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.46 The first paragraph tells us that Americans_.（A）are straightforward（B）
29、 show no respect to teachers（C） dont like their government（D）like arguing with each other47 One of the faults in the American character is_.（A）their dishonesty（B） their inefficiency（C） their strong desire for freshness（D）their strong desire to get ahead of others48 It can be inferred from the passag

31、 at home there（D）will soon find a job there50 The passage mainly talks about_.（A）the American virtues（B） the American character（C） the American faults（D）the American lifestyle50 Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant s part
32、can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than sugges
33、t what you should write. When visiting future employees, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write car
34、efully and neatly. Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching ro
35、le. Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to
36、 the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.51 The first sentence of the passage means that_.（A）you may have to fill in a long application form（B） the filling-in of an application form takes much
37、time（C） any slight error in the tiring filling-in of the forms should be avoided（D）application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in52 Although all application forms demand the same basic information, _.（A）different companies may have different requirements（B） differ
38、ent companies may have different attitudes toward them（C） applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detail（D）applicants are very familiar with different application forms53 Which of the following statements about your personal data is true?（A）They will be of much help to your intervi
39、ew.（B） They are more important than the interview.（C） They should be written as simply as possible.（D）They should include all your personal information.54 When writing about the duties of your jobs, you should_.（A）only describe your social activities（B） list only the duties you performed（C） focus on
40、 your involvement in the community（D）try to include more details55 Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?（A）Nature of Filling in Application Forms（B） Important of Filling in Application Forms（C） Critical Details for Filling in Application Forms（D）Jobs and Their Filling in App
41、lication Forms55 Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he h
42、as expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener s familiarity with the theme(主题) of the me
43、ssage. It also depends on the listener s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an impo
44、rtant role in increasing our comprehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more
45、 likely to become effective listeners.Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.56 The passage is most possible taken from_.（A）a novel（B） a textbook（C） a news report（D）a fashi
46、on magazine57 What is the first paragraph mainly about?（A）How to think actively in listening comprehension.（B） How to develop specific readiness before listening.（C） The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.（D）The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.58 The skill to ant
47、icipate in listening comprehension depends largely on_.（A）the listener s emotion（B） the difficulty of the message（C） the listeners communicative skills（D）the listeners familiarity with the topic59 In order to anticipate, the first thing to do before actual listening may be_.（A）do some vocabulary wor
48、k（B） think about the topic（C） read some related material（D）discuss the topic with others60 What is the author s attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?（A）Neutral.（B） Positive（C） Negative.（D）Critical.二、Cloze60 Hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置)on your desk.
