Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%)
Paage 1: Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following paage: We use both words and gestures to expre our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true a smile means the same thing in any language.So does laughter or crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings.Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry.This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world.(76)In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise.In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or exprees strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and expre feelings.Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happine on people’s faces.Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.(B) 1.According to the paage, _______. A.we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean B.we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures C.words can be better understood by older people D.gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot (B) 2.People’s facial expreions may be misunderstood because _________.

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’s language development.It is surprising but true.(77)How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development.If a parent encourages the children to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents.Half of the children participated in the experimental study；the other half acted as the control group.In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training seion in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?”(78) The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative poibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expreion and vocabulary.Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.(D) 6.Which of the following can be inferred from the paage? A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C.Active children should read more and be given more attention. D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.(A) 7.What does “it” in Line 3 can be most probably be replaced by? A.Parents increasing children’s language development.

(A) 9.The difference between the control group and the experimental group was _______.A.the training that parents received B.the age of the children C.the books that were read D.the number of the children (C) 10.The best conclusion we can draw from the paage is that _________. A.parents should be trained to read to their children B.the more children read, the more intelligent they will become C.children’s language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D.children who read actively seem six months older Paage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following paage: (79)The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.Labor-saving naturally appeared first where labor was scarce.“In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant.” It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs.(80)By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form.The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers, however, would home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow.Neverthele, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled steel plow.(B) 11.The word “here”(Para.1.Line 6)refers to ____. A.Europe B.America C.New Jersey D.Indiana (C) 12.Which of the following statement is NOT true?
3 A.The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America.B.The farmer rejected Charles Newbolt’s plow for fear of ruin their fields.C.Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.D.It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.(B) 13.The paage is mainly about ________. A.the agriculture revolution B.the invention of labor-saving machinery C.the development of scientific agriculture D.the farming machinery in America (D) 14.At the opening of the nineteenth-century, farmers in America ___ .

A.there was a shortage of workers on American farms B.the most important of the early invention was the iron plow C.after 1869, many people devoted their attention to the plow D.Charles Newbolt had made a fortune by his cast-iron plow

Part ⅠReading Comprehension (30%) Paage 1: Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following paage: One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief “ Yes”, “No”.“ Sure”, or the very popular “Yeah” rather than with a longer reply.（76） But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent.Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “Hi”.Indeed, this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States.It is used by everyone, regardle of rank, age or occupation.However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable.（77）If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply.They do not want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them.Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts.Thus, you will find Americans embarraed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return.They are generally a warm but informal people.(C) 1.The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us __.

A.Americans exchange gifts the first time they meet B.Americans seldom give gifts except for some holidays C.Americans often bring some gifts to their friends D.Americans only want to get gifts from others.Paage 2: Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following paage: （78）The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discuion among economists.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good worked intensively.Thus, each person produces le and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unle there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a word-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is preing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be.In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods.（79） When the preure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened.Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.(D) 6.A smaller population may mean ______. A.higher productivity, but a lower average income B.lower productivity, but a higher average income C.lower productivity, and a lower average income D.higher productivity, and a higher average income

A.there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world. B.underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development C.different governments have different views about the problem D.even developed countries may have complex problems Paage 3: Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following paage: To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains.But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain.It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century BC.We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylun as a sunshade.And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority.In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade.And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared .Then it appeared again in Italy in 16 th century.And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.（80）It was not until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.(B)11.The first use of umbrella was as ______.
