I.Reading Comprehension Directions:Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked A,B,C and D.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(20 points) Questions 21~25 are based on the following passage. Some people hate everything that is modern.They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music;they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing;they think that all modern painting is ugly;and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world.Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past.They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new ideas or to express himself or the age in any original ways.It is,of course,true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures.If the work of art is a painting,the artist's failure concerns himself alone,but if it is a building,his failure concerns others too,because it may damage the beauty of the whole place.This does sometimes happen,but it is completely untrue to say,as some people do,that modern architecture is nothing. We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time,even though we admire the ancient buildings.Technologically,the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works,but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials,he will never be content to imitate the past.He is too proud to do that. 21.Some people hate everything that is modern because A.they are aged B.they look at things by the standards of the past C.they take their standards of perfection from the Greek D.they find it hard to accept modern things 22.The writer of the passage thinks that A.it is true to say artists fail in their work B.it is untrue to say artists fail in their work C.it is true to say only painters fail in their work D.it is true to say some artists fail in their work 23.The writer thinks the failure of a building A.concerns others B.means nothing C.concerns only the artist D.concerns all the people in the world 808

ill. Reading Comprehension Directions : Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each qu臼tion there are four answers marked A. B. C and D. Read the passag四carefully and choose the 臼t answer to 四ch of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) Questions 21........25 are based on the following passage. Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything , and they take theirstandards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new ideas or to express himself or the age in any original ways. It is, of course , true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist' s failure concerns himself alone , but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too , because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen , but it is completely untrue to say , as some people do , that modern architecture is nothing. We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that. 21.

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year.At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor window.Wearing a seat belt saves lives;it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt.If you do not,you could be fined up to f50.It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt.But it will be the driver's responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not , you could be fined up to £50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt.
