11、ark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneOne Saturday night, while we were sitting around our somewhat shopworn living room with some old friends, one of them started trying to remember how long wed lived there. Since 1952, I said. We paid off

12、 the mortgage eight years ago. What did you pay for it? We paid $29, 500 in 1952. My friend nodded knowingly and thought a minute. Ill bet, he said, that you could get $85, 000 for it today. I dont know why it is such a popular topic of conversation these days, but if any real-estate dealers are rea

13、ding this, I will give them some money-saving advice: dont waste any stamps on me with your offers to buy. Our house is not an investment. Our house is our home. We live there. It is an anchor. It is the place we go when we dont feel like going anyplace. We do not plan to move. Our house provides me

14、 with a simple pleasure every time I come home to it. I am warmed by some ambiance - which may merely be dust, but it is our dust and I like it. Theres been much talk of moving, usually brought on by a leaky faucet, some peeling paint, or a neighbor we dont like. But when anyone asks me how much I t

15、hink our house is worth, I just smile. They couldnt buy what that house means to me for all the money in both local banks. The house is not for sale. 21. The word mortgage in line 1, paragraph 2 roughly means a certain sum of money from_. A. a company B. a bank C. a landlord D. the country22. Accord

16、ing to the passage, we can learn that the house is a_. A. cautious investment B. adventurous investment C. money-losing investment D. money-making investment23.

18、cture of My House B. The Value of My House C. The Story of My House D. The History of My HousePassage Two Cultures tend to favor either a past, present, or future orientation with regard to time. A future orientation, a preference for change, is characteristic of American culture. The society encour

19、ages people to look to the future rather than to the past. Technological, social, and artistic trends change rapidly and affect peoples lifestyles and their relationships. Given this inclination toward change, it is not surprising that tradition plays a limited role in the American culture. Those wh

20、o try to uphold traditional patterns of living or thought may be seen as rigid or old-fashioned. In a society where change is so rapid, it is not uncommon for every generation to experience a generation gap . Sometimes parents struggle to understand the values of their children. Even religious insti

21、tutions have had to adapt to contemporary needs of their followers. Folk singers in church services, women religious leaders, slang versions of the Bible, all reflect attempts made by traditional institutions to keep up with the times. High rates of change, particularly in urban areas, have contribu

22、ted to a focus on the future rather than the past or present. Some Americans believe that the benefits of the future orientation are achievement and progress which enable them to have a high standard of living. Others believe that high blood pressure and stomach ulcers are the results of such a life

23、style. As individuals in a culture, we all have an intuitive understanding about how time is regulated. Usually we do not think about the concept of time until we interact with others who have a different time orientation. Although individuals from any two cultures may view time similarly, we often

24、sense that in another culture, life seems to proceed at either a slower or faster pace. Knowing how time is regulated, divided, and perceived can provide valuable insights into individuals and their cultures. 26. American orientation toward the future might be demonstrated by_. A. the presence of re

25、ligious institutions B. the preference for old-fashioned parents C. the limited role of tradition D. the presence of folk singers in church services 27.

26、e. B. It is not clearly told in the passage. C. The fast pace permits technological and scientific progress which benefits all people. D. He is not quite sure whether the American culture is agreeable. 28. Which could be the best title for this passage?_ A. American Culture. B. Time and Culture. C.

Some cultures have the tendency to favor the present time. C. Some cultures tend to favor the future time. D. All of the above. 30. We can infer from th

29、are the same view towards life, work and playPassage Three Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played long, long ago. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. T

30、he name chess is interesting. When one player is attacking the others king, he says, in English,check. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says check mate. These words come from Persian. Shah mat means the king is dead. That is when the game is over, and one player has won. Su

31、ch an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but

32、it is game for all kinds of people. You dont have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same

33、time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world. 31. Which of the following is known to be true?_ A. Chess is an old Indian traveling game. B. Chess is the oldest game in the world. C. Chess was pl

34、ayed in Japan and Europe before 1400. D. Chess was played in India long before 900. 32. One player has won the game when_.

Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table. C. Some people write to each other playing chess. D. The Russians lost th

36、e game played by radio. 35. According to the old rules of the game_. A. the queen was the strongest piece on the board B. the king had to be attacked all the time C. the queen could move no more than one square at a time D. the king could not move anywherePassage FourThe Crying GameAll normal human

37、infants cry, although they vary a great deal in how much. A mysterious and still unexplained phenomenon is that crying tends to increase in the first few weeks of life, peak in the second or third month, and then decrease. Some babies in the United States cry so much during the peak period-often in

38、excess of three hours a day-and seem so difficult to soothe that parents come to doubt their nurturing skills or begin to fear that their offspring (子孫后代) is suffering from a painful disease. Some mothers discontinue nursing and switch to bottle-feeding because they believe their breast milk is insu

39、fficiently nutritious and that their infants are always hungry. In extreme cases, the crying may provoke physical abuse, sometimes even precipitating (使發(fā)生) the infants death. A look at another culture, the Kung San hunter-gatherers of southern Africa, provides us with an opportunity to see whether c

40、are-giving strategies have any effect on infant crying. Both the Kung San and Western infants escalate (使增強(qiáng)) their crying during the early weeks of life, with a similar peak at two or three months. A comparison of Dutch, American, and Kung San infants shows that the number of individual crying episo

41、des are virtually identical. What differs is their length: Kung San infants cry about half as long as Western babies. This implies that care-giving can influence only some aspects of crying, such as duration. What is particularly striking about child-rearing among the Kung San is that infants are in

42、 constant contact with a caregiver; they are carried or held most of the time, are usually in an upright position, and are breast-fed about four times an hour for one to two minutes at a time. Furthermore, the mother almost always responds to the smallest cry or fret (煩躁) within ten seconds. I belie

43、ve that crying was adaptive for our ancestors. As seen in the contemporary Kung San, crying probably elicited a quick response, and thus consisted of frequent but relatively short episodes. This pattern helped keep an adult close by to provide adequate nutrition as well as protection from predators.

44、 I have also argued that crying helped an infant forge a strong attachment with the mother and-because new pregnancies are delayed by the prolongation of frequent nursing-secure more of her care-giving resources.In the United States, where the threat of predation has receded (降低) and adequate nutrit

45、ion is usually available even without breast-feeding, crying may be less adaptive. In any case, care-giving in the United States may be viewed as a cultural experiment in which the infant is relatively more separated-and separable-from the mother, both in terms of frequency of contact and actual dis

46、tance. The Western strategy is advantageous when the mothers employment outside of the home and away from the baby is necessary to sustain family resources. But the trade-off seems to be an increase in the length of crying bouts. (490 words) 36. Why does Western infants crying tend to increase in th

47、e first few weeks of life and peak in the second or third month?_ A. The infants suffer from a painful disease. B. Their parents lack nurturing skill. C. The reason is still unknown. D. Their parents abuse the infants physically. 37. Care-giving strategies have some effect on infants crying_. A. in

48、its loudness B. in its peak period C. in its frequency D. in its duration 38. The care-giving strategy in Kung San is similar to that in the United States in terms of the effect on_. A. the frequency of contact between the mother and the infant B. the frequency of nursing C. the quickness of the mot

49、hers response to the infants cry D. the number of individual crying episodes 39. Crying was adaptive for our ancestors because_. A. it helped them get sufficient nutrition B. it elicited short episodes of sleep C. it delayed new pregnancies D. it helped the infants learn to speak. 40. Mothers go out

50、 and earn money to sustain family resources at the cost of_. A. giving up breast-feeding B. increasing the length of the infants crying C. being away from the babies unnecessarily D. making the Western strategy objectionablePart III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage

59、those who prefer a black-and-white diagram to a full-color, shiny set of photographic images that brilliantly capture the surface of some phenomenon but convey nothing of what is hidden behind the scenes. 53Long before I could do even the simplest algebra (代數(shù)),as a child, 54I felt that it was somehow both magical and magnificent, that mathematical equ
