Passage One Television in the United States is free. To pay for programs, there are many advertisements. Often these advertisements are short plays with actors. The following television advertisement is like many others that Americans see daily. We see a man and his wife at the breakfast table. They have been married for a long time. They are not speaking to each other. They haven’t spoken to each other at the breakfast table for years.The husband is reading his newspaper.We can’t see his face.The wife looks very bored as she pours a cup of coffee for him. Today, she is using a new kind of coffee for the first time. The husband picks up his cup. He isn’t very interested. He tastes his coffee. Suddenly he puts down his newspaper. Something is different! Can it be the coffee? He takes another taste. It’s wonderful! He smiles. He looks at his wife and says in amazement, "Doris, when did you cut your hair?" Doris is pleased. She answers, "Two months ago." Doris asks, "Herbie, when did your hair begin to turn gray?" He replies, "A long time ago." Doris says, "Oh, very handsome." Now they aren’t bored any more. Breakfast is different. Has a new kind of coffee changed their lives? （ ）36. In the television advertisement, Doris looks bored because _____. A. she doesn’t like the breakfast that morning B. she has been married to Herbie for a long time C. Her husband doesn’t care much for her D.

Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France.The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.It is the biggest art museum in the world. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a castle.In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower.It had a river to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of the buildings around the castle grew.By 1350, the castle no longer needed to be extended.The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens. During times of peace, new treasures were brought in.During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings, were damaged. When FrancisI became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s "Mona Lisa" is the best-known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now.It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy, Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces. （ ）40.How long has the Louvre been a public museum?

A.an art museum called the Louvre B.an Italian artist named Leonardo da Vinci C.a king of France named Francis I D.the best-known painting in the Louvre Passage Three On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age.He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening.Later, we had a test about that. When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised.There was a very large cross through each of my answers.And so it was with everyone else’s in our class.What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer. Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained.He had made up all that story about the cattytiger.There had never been such an animal.So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers? Needless to say, we got very angry.What kind of teacher was this? We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said.After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie.But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head.We should learn something from this.Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. （ ）44.We failed in the test because we didn’t _____. A.take notes while listening B.show interest in what Mr. Whiteson said C.listen to the teacher carefully D.think carefully （ ）45.We got angry because _____. A.Mr. Whiteson didn’t tell us the truth about cattytiger B.we failed in the test C.we didn’t know why he played the joke on us D.there was no cattytiger （ ）46.Mr. Whiteson gave us a special lesson_____ . A.to show his special way of teaching B.to play a joke on us C.to help us learn our lessons better D.so that we would no longer believe him （ ）47.Mr. Whiteson meant that _____. A.teachers couldn’t make any mistakes B.textbooks might be wrong sometimes C.we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong D.we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies Passage Four Shopping is not as simple as you may think！ There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand （品牌） of product on the shelf. 　 Colouring,for example.,varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged （包装） in greens,yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods,like chocolates,are gold or silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently,researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually.,it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe,and white as calm. The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to. It is believed that the better-known companies spend,on average,70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging！ The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap,who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote （推销） their goods,came to the conclusion： “Any fool can make soap,but it takes a genius （天才） to sell it.” （ ）48. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text？ A. The cost of its package. 　B. The price of the product. 　C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product. （ ）49. The underlined part“the colours turned the customers off”（in Para. 3 ） means that the colours _____. A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effects on the customers C.tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest （ ）50. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales？ A. The way to promote goods. B.The discovery of a genius. C. The team to produce a good product. D. The brand name used by successful producers. （ ）51. Which of the following would be the best title for this text？ A. Choice of Good Products B.Disadvantages of Products C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks Passage Five Have you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)？Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding： (1)Don’t trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at you or say"uhhuh"to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，"Beth discusses her problems with her husband，"it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，"Beth talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband." (3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying"I want to be sure I said that right."Questions like"How does that sound？"or"Does that make sense？"may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page. After all，it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood. （ ）52. Why does the writer give us the advice？ A.We’re not skillful enough to make clear sentences. B.Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives. C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then. D.It’s impolite to say NO to others. （ ）53. The writer suggests that when talking to others，the speaker should _____. A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his words B.express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding C. notice listener’s signs of understanding D.look directly into his listener’s eyes （ ）54. By Train the editor in your head，the speakers are advised _____. A. to get themselves trained by a good editor B. to discuss problems with their husbands or wives C. to express themselves in long but simple sentences D.to make sure each sentence has only one meaning （ ）55. In the last paragraph，the underlined words you’re on the same page mean that _____. A. you’re following the speakers closely B. you’re reading the same page as the speaker does C.you should know which page the speaker refers to D. your story is written on the same page as the speaker’s V.Daily Conversation (15 points) Direction:Pick out five appropriate expression from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Ada:Sure.Want me to give you a ride? Gary:No,forget it. 56 .It’s very quick.I’ll pick Sally up this afternoon.You can just come home after work. Ada:OK.Oh,I almost forgot.I probably 57 .I’ve made an evening appointment with Mr.Steven to talk about our next project.

They think there are more job opportunities in cities.Life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country.And there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy. But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health.Life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people. I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quiet life. 得分� 评卷人� � � � � 得分� 评卷人� � � � � 得分� 评卷人� � � � � 得分� 评卷人� �
