For each of them t

17、here are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corres ponding letter on the An swer Sheet. Passage One A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew , the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he de

18、cided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that no body came to the p alace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. The n one day a tall, han dsome youn

19、g man came and said he wan ted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“ The risk is worth the headaufghlCer,fathe young man rep lied po etically (得體地).He the n bega n this well-k nown story: I must go on un til I tell you ” The Princ

20、e p rotes s beautiful yc “ Once upon a time there was a certa in King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an eno rmous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, whe n it was up, made water- proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he no ticed a small hole in the r

21、oof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, ano ther locust came out with ano ther gra in of corn. Then a third locust with ano ther grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great sp eed, pu shed through the hole and came out with two gra ins of corn. Th

22、en a fifth locust came and ” “Stop shouted the Prince.“I can t, ” answered the young man. what happened to each grain of the corn.”“ But that will go on for ever. “ Exactly the young man rep lied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince daughter. 41. The Prince always felt regretted about stor

23、y because . A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famine C. all stories have ends D. there was no story-teller 42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for . A. a great sum of moneyB. the prince s beautiful daughter C. showing his bravery D. Both A and C 43. The young

24、 man would be sent to prison if he failed to tell a story without an end. A. foreverB. for some time C. for a whileD. for a year 44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build . A. a huge storehouseB. a large farm C. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen 45. The thing the king noticed fi

25、rst in the roof was . A. a loafB. a small hole C. a grain of cornD. a locust Passage Two Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV char

26、acter. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get

27、something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container i

28、s added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has“ Economy Size ” prin on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and th

29、e price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 46. Which of the following st

30、atements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? A. Children are interested in some packages of products. B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising. C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers. D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer. ” ( Line 1, Para

31、2 ) probably 47. The phrase “ a buyer will get something for nothing means . A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something useless C. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying 48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.

32、 Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages. B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself. D. “ Economy Size money 49. What does the word C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.

33、“ (tLhienme 5,”Para. 1 ) refer to? B. PicturesC. Games D. Products ” doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least A. Small gifts 50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Package is just an advertisement. B. Buyers shouldnt believe the information on theka

34、pgaec too much. C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product. D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package. Passage Three s greatest For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the worldpoet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly

35、suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespea re s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the

36、time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “ it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations. ” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of th

37、e English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways

38、 in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day. s greagtresattepsotedt ranmdatist s greatest poets or dramatists s grea

We use all the words, phras es and quotations from Shakespeares writings. B. Shakespeare s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak Engl

43、used in the same way as in Shakespeare D. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what i

44、tems are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place to place, from one or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to

45、pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued( 遭受折磨 ) with th

46、is indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you dont, the service person cant earn a living

47、. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the ma

48、ilman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends. 56. The main idea of this passage is . A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shopping C. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people 57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City

49、, you pay extra as sales tax. C. $5 D. $5.5 A. $4.5B. $4 B. get great benefits from the employer D. get prize from the employer 58. Usually, cab drivers . A. get high wages from the employer C. get low wages from the employer 59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A

50、. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. B. The westerners dont have to pay high tips in their own country. C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped. D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of you
