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、 From Para. 1, we know that in America _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors B. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man C. college professors win great respect from common workers D. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts 2、 According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. she can hardly afford servants B. servants in America are hard to get C. she takes pride in what she can do herself D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food 3、 The underlined expression "wait on table" in Para. 2 means " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ". A. wait to lay the table B. keep accounts for a bar C. serve customers in a restaurant D. work in a furniture shop 4、 The authorˊs attitude towards manual labor is _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. humorous B. negative C. critical D. positive 5、 Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. A Respectable Self-made Family B. The Development of Manual Labor C. American Attitude toward Manual Labor D. Characteristics of American Culture

题型描述: 阅读理解Advertisement can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertisement aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.1、 Advertisement is often used to _ _ _ _ _ . A. increase production B. push the sale C. deceive customers D. arouse suspicion 2、 The word “media”（in the first paragraph）includes _ _ _ _ _ . A. the press B. radio C. television D. all of the above 3、 Advertisement is mainly paid for by _ _ _ _ _ . A. the customer B. increased sales C. reduced prices D. the producer 4、 Advertisement can increase demand _ _ _ _ _ . A. in any circumstances B. in a shrinking market C. all the time D. in a growing market 5、 From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that _ _ _ _ _ . A. advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of the goods B. businesses usually do not pay much for advertisement C. businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profits D. advertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money

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 matter that is hidden or secret B. a problem not yet solved C. a question difficult to answer D. a legend handed down from the past 2、 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. 3、 The real power of words consists in their _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. characteristics B. representative function C. peculiarity D. properties 4、 By "association" in the last paragraph, the author means _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. a strange feature B. an appearance which is puzzling C. a joining of ideas in the mind D. a special quality 5、 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A. His style is always charming. B. He is no more than a master of words. C. He can move men to tears. D. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.

题型描述: 阅读理解Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1、 The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

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. (271 words)1、 People can experience happiness if they _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. always think of the past and regret it B. become old and have much experience C. value the present D. are no longer young 2、 When people were young, they used to _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. be in charge of many business B. look after their younger sisters and brothers C. have few things to think about and take on D. face a lot of difficulties 3、 The pains of children lie in the fact that _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. no one helps them make right decisions B. they can not be accepted and praised by others C. they are often beaten by their parents D. they are not allowed to do what they like to do 4、 Children are usually happy because _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. things are new to them B. old people lose interest in them C. they are free to do wrong D. they are familiar with everything going on around them 5、 Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?

题型描述: 阅读理解The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs.Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place. A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business. Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice. And make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.1、 6. The main purpose of the passage is to show how the role of the shop manager has undergone an great change. A. T B. F 2、 Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph represent any of the regular customers of the old general store. A. F B. T 3、 According to the author, it is a pity that there are fewer and fewer old general stores now because traditional commodities are less needed. A. F B. T 4、 The supermarket manager is compared to a military leader by the author. A. T B. F 5、 By the last sentence of the passage, the author seems to point out any qualified supermarket manager will surely meet a flood, a fire, a birth and a death some day. A. T B. F
