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 One Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I’d always wanted to do—become a freelance writer. Changing professions has meant my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways. The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible schedule. I work about as much as I did before—between 45 and 50 hours a week—but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day. With a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me. I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I’ve also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all changes have been that easy. For example, I don’t feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don’t have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there’s enough money until the next check arrives. All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ll never want to have a “regular” job. But for now, at least, it suits me. 16. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A. He was dissatisfied with his company. B. He never liked his job as a manager. C. He had always liked writing. D. He wanted to change his lifestyle. 17. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A. He works fewer hours a week. B. He does not have to work on weekends. C. He can work at night and sleep late. D. He can change his schedule as he likes. 18. Why does the author do his own cooking now? 得分评卷人

A. he is going to find a regular job soon B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life D. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him Passage Two Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly. For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by his and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given you best effort.” 21. In the first paragraph, the author implies that ________ are essential in achieving success. A. ability and goals B. goals and determination C. ability and environment D. goals and environment 22. The word “frugal” (Line 2, Para. 2) means ________. A. wealthy B. wasteful C. thrifty D. miserable 23. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________. A. their life is miserable B. they do not live in peace C. their goals are too low D. they are not rich enough by their own standards. 24. The last paragraph implies that ________. A. we should have high goals B. success means taking a walk in the park C. success means achieving great goals D. success means trying one’s best at what one really likes 25. This passage mainly talks about ________. A. the definition of success B. how to achieve success C. how to set goals D. the importance of goals Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: The Japanese view of aging is markedly different from that in the United States. In contrast to the old in America, the elderly in Japan occupy a position of honor. In part, this respect for age is based on ancient social and religious traditions not readily adaptable to pour culture. But there are specific Japanese programs and practices that we might well import. Old people in the United States may not be given much respect because they often lack status. Strongly encouraged to leave their jobs at sixty-five, many then occupy the lower rungs of the economic ladder. In Japan the able-bodied continue to work or to help their families in their homes. In addition, they are guaranteed a minimum income, receive free annual health

We could benefit by following Japan’s lead here, especially in providing more job opportunities for the aged. We Americans might also profit by copying the Japanese example of fully integrating the elderly in our daily lives. In Japan 75 percent of the old live with their children, as opposed to only 25 percent in the United States. For those who do live alone, the Japanese have established programs to assure that they receive daily visits and calls. To encourage the active involvement of all older citizens in social activities, the government subsidizes Elders Clubs and sports programs. Through these programs the aged supply each other with mutual support and gain a sense of self-pride. 26． In Japan, the elderly enjoy an honorable status mainly because of ______. A. the Japanese attitudes towards aging B. the establishment of recreational facilities C. the mutual support among the aged D. a sense of self-pride on the part of the elderly 27． The social benefits for the aged in Japan involve __________. A. the active involvement in mental activities B. the practice of daily food delivery C. the provision of more job opportunities D. free medical care per year 28. The passage tells us that _________. A. 75% of the old in the U.S. occupy the lower ranks of economic ladder B. Japanese tradition can not be adapted to the American culture C. no one calls and visits the old who lives alone in the U.S. D. the care for the old can not do without the support of the government 29. The word “subsidizes” (Line5, Para.3) can be best replaced by _________. A. relieves B. remedies C. supports D. opposes 30. The writer ________________. A. opposes the old continuing work after 65 B. thinks the U.S. can learn from Japan about aging C. encourages the old to leave their work early D. speaks unfavorably of the Japanese social traditions Passage Four Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: The prisoner had waited many months for help, but none had come. Now he felt he would do something to gain his liberty, to be free again to go about the world as he wished. But he could think of no means of escape. He spent many hours thinking of his life before he was captured, regretting the mistake he had made and dreaming of the joys he had known. And over and over he said to himself that he was being punished for no reason. He was guilty of no crime, but had not been given a chance to explain the events that made it appear that he was guilty. Then one night the guard who sat just outside the prisoner’s door fell asleep. When he noticed this, the prisoner was struck by a feeling of hope. Perhaps he could stead the keys while the guard was dozing. Silently the prisoner moved toward the guard. Very gently he lifted the ring of keys from the guard’s belt. Then he turned and crept toward the door. Could he work the lock from the inside? The key turned and the door swung open. Within two minutes he had crossed the yard and climbed the wall. Then he fled across the fields, free at last, a smile of joy beginning to spread across his face. 31. The prisoner had a wish __________. A. to be excused B. to go away freely C. to be a free man in the prison D. to be set at liberty from the prison 32. After many months, the prisoner thought that___________. A. no one would believe he was guilty B. he could never be free again C. nothing could help him become free again D. nothing could stop him from trying to escape 33. He was sorry for ________. A. what he had done illegally B. the mistake he had made C. thinking of no means of escape D. having someone to come to help him
