I have always thought that the Japanese are the most polite and friendly people in the world. But when I (23) _ my own behavior, and
16、that of my fellow foreign students, I recognized that there was some (24) _ in what my host-mothers father said. The Japanese do tend to (25) _ to themselves, for a number of reasons. As a result, they do not easily make friends with people of other cultures. There are a number of reasons (26) _ thi
17、s Japanese syndrome (综合征). The first is that most Japanese students are very self-conscious about their English-speaking skills, which they feel are (27) _ . Most Japanese students in the United States studied English throughout junior high and high school back home. However, our teacherswho were th

20、utes) Section A Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a sing
21、le line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will liste
22、n and understandhe wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painter want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shap
23、es and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colo
24、rs from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion (运动) and repose (休息), their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subject that provides an interesting pattern, that
25、 there 3 is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a broken leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling u
26、s something, showing us something, emphasizing somethingall of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. 31. According to the passage, an artist is always trying to _ . A) express something new to us B) make show of his unusual abilities C) interest the public in shap
27、es and colors D) create something difficult for us to understand 32. It is much more difficult to understand a painting than a novel because _ A) a painter only provides interesting patterns B) a painter is not good at expressing himself C) a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words D) a pain
28、ter is less experienced or educated than a writer 33. A painter carefully chooses certain shapes and colors as _ . A) they can teach the public B) they carry messages to the public C) they express his feeling and experiences D) they can express the painters feelings, carry messages and teach the pub
29、lic 34. Painting of unpleasant objects and paintings of beauty are _ . A) of different artistic skills B) of different artistic styles C) all trying to show us something D) accepted differently by the public 35. It is implied but not directly stated that _ . A) painters are no good at writing B) the
30、 public is more interested in writing than in painting C) paintings are nothing more than the arrangement of shapes and colors D) we should look beyond shapes and colors to understand what the artist is driving at Passage 2 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: Family is of course a
31、n elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of family in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates
32、the beginning of a new and independent familyhence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely re
33、sponsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own maste
34、rs. Readers of Jane Austins Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragementlead him to ask their
35、 permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving her a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school a
36、nd become financially independent before their marriage. This has two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. 36. What does the author mean by family is of course an elastic word? A) Different nations have different families. B) Different times produce different families. C)
37、Different families have different ways of life. D) Different definitions could be given to the word family. 37. For an English family, the husbands duty is _ . A) independent while the wifes is dependent B) financial while the wifes is running the home C) supporting the family while the wifes is fin
38、ancial 4 D) defending the family while the wifes is running the home 38. Everything is decided in family _ . A) by the couple B) by brothers and sisters C) with the help of the couples parents D) with the help of aunts and uncles 39. Which of the following is true concerning the book Pride and Preju
39、dice? A) It is a handbook of marriage. B) It is the best book on marriage. C) It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past. D) It provides a lot of information on former-time wealthy families. 40. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in
40、A) social position B) the right family C) choosing husbands D) more parental support Passage 3 Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month, but it will fall we know not where. That precise informatio
41、n is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers. The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long. We are again ex
42、posed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about mans future. What worries Richard Smith, the Skylabs director, is the big pieces that will come through the atmosph
43、ere. Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep. What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the bi
44、g and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them. Thats good to know, but it doesnt remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what sc
45、ientists had assured us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor. 41. We can conclude from the passage that where the Skylab will fall _ . A) is still kept secret B) is predicted by computers C) will be announced soon D) cant be predicted at present 42. The broken Skylab will be _ . A) falling with t

47、n overestimated B) the danger of the Skylabs fall has been underestimated C) its useless to worry over things you cant do anything about D) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab 44. Three Mile Island was mentioned _ . A) because the author is afraid of nuclear accident there B)
48、 because the author doesnt believe in the officials words C) because the broken Skylab was as safe as the nuclear reactor D) because the author fears that the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plant 45. The author expresses his _ . A) willingness to give his advice B) doubtful attitude toward scientists C) interest in the failure of the Skylab D) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveries Section B Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10 b
