题型描述: 阅读理解How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.1、 The origin of language is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a legend handed down from the past B. a question difficult to answer C. a matter that is hidden or secret D. a problem not yet solved 2、 By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a strange feature B. an appearance which is puzzling C. a special quality D. a joining of ideas in the mind 3、 What is true about words? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. They are simply sounds. B. They are used to express feelings only. C. They can not be written down. D. They are mysterious. 4、 The real power of words consists in their _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. peculiarity B. properties C. representative function D. characteristics 5、 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. His style is always charming. B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears. D. He is no more than a master of words.

题型描述: 阅读理解How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.1、 People can experience happiness if they _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. value the present B. always think of the past and regret it C. are no longer young D. become old and have much experience 2、 When people were young, they used to _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. have few things to think about and take on B. look after their younger sisters and brothers C. face a lot of difficulties D. be in charge of many business 3、 The pains of children lie in the fact that _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. they can not be accepted and praised by others B. they are often beaten by their parents C. no one helps them make right decisions D. they are not allowed to do what they like to do 4、 Children are usually happy because _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. they are familiar with everything going on around them B. old people lose interest in them C. things are new to them D. they are free to do wrong 5、 Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy? A. Health. B. Being free from troubles. C. Hard work. D. Wealth.

题型描述: 阅读理解A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1、 According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. servants in America are hard to get B. she takes pride in what she can do herself C. she can hardly afford servants D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food 2、 Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. American Attitude toward Manual Labor B. Characteristics of American Culture C. The Development of Manual Labor D. A Respectable Self-made Family 3、 The underlined expression "wait on table" in Para. 2 means " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ". A. keep accounts for a bar B. wait to lay the table C. work in a furniture shop D. serve customers in a restaurant 4、 From Para. 1, we know that in America _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts B. college professors win great respect from common workers C. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors D. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man 5、 The authorˊs attitude towards manual labor is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. positive B. negative C. humorous D. critical

题型描述: 阅读理解Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learn the basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics. Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores. Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.1、 What makes Ms. different from other womenˊs magazines? A. Ms. offers women tips of caring for their families. B. Ms. is the type of women’s magazines that dominates now. C. Ms. treats women as adults who need to learn about being a mother. D. Ms. is interested in a wider range of women’s role. 2、 The best title for this passage is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. Influence of Mass Media in Our Lives B. Gender Roles in the Media C. Womenˊs Magazines and Televisions D. Different Types of Media 3、 It can be inferred that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ might be a new type of women image on the television commercials. A. career women who enjoys her career success B. happy mothers doing the household chores C. guilty wives who don’t use the right soap D. young beautiful women dressed in sexy clothes 4、 From the context we know “to stereotype women” (Line 1, Paragraph 4) refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. to portray women in some different ways B. to depict women as successful and able to support themse C. to tag on women some fixed roles and images D. to portray women as successful professionals 5、 Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with in terms of the media’s attitude towards women? A. The mass media always presents to us a variety of women images as they are in daily life. B. The limited images of women mass media presented to the audience through mass media have influenced the way the audience think and behave. C. The mass media focuses womenˊs roles in life as a mother more than as a professional. D. The way mass media define women has changed as time goes by.
