Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: Languages are remarkably complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture. (76)(They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. )To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.”A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes. 21. The best title for this passage is__________ A. Organs of Culture B.

Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire(帝国). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation. (77)(Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. )The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. (78)(So, unless the govemment has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.) This does not only mean that the villagers' children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in - and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood. 26. What is the most important function of trees?

A.Providing fuel.B.Offering shade. C Pr r.D.Providing wood. 27.What eventually happened to the empire in the paragraph? A.Its people died of hunger. B.It fell to pieces.

A.The benefits of trees ection D.Different attitudes toward trees. Passade 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. e gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire,another strengthens it,a third cuts it,a fourth points it,and a fifth gives it a head.Just to make the head requires two or three different operations.The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen differe nt operations,which in some e fac s are all performed by differer people,though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Ten men,Smith said,in this way,turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker.(79)(But if all of them had worked separately and without division of labor,they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a d ay and d not e ven one. There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.Fewer people can make more pins.Adam Smith saw this,(80)(but he also took it for aranted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and deve elopment and it accounts for the differe and those that stand still.)But divi on of nce between expanding dds nothing new,it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. 31.According to the passage,Adam Smith was the first person to_ A.take advantage of the physical labor B.introduce the division of labor into England

Trees and soil protection C. The various uses of trees. D. Different attitudes toward trees. Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. (79)( But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.) There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, (80) (but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. )But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. 31. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to__________ A. take advantage of the physical labor B. introduce the division of labor into England

B.Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have. C.Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth. D.Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Passage 4 Advertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services"Advertisement aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest.It tries to inform and to persuade.The media are all used to sp ead the r press offers a fairl cheap method,and magazine are used to reac special sections f the market.The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market.Television,although more expensive,can be very effective.Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most strikina features of the western world in this century.Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods.liquor.tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer.Since advertisement forms part of the cost o production,which has to be covered by the selling price,it is dear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement.However,if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand,production costs are reduced,and the customer

According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT tree? A. Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins. B. Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have. C. Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth. D. Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Passage 4 Advertisement can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertisement aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer
