Each passage is followed by some questi ons or in completestateme n

16、ts. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresp onding letter on the An swer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew became of them.the fonder heBut he always regretted they had to have

17、an end. So he decided 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 nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, ha

18、ndsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned himwhat would happen if he failed." The risk is worth the headof your fair daughter, “ the young man replied poetically得體地.He then began this well-known story:Once upon a time there w

19、as a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build anenormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grai

20、n of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and“Stop, " shouted the Prince. &quo

21、t;I can 't," answered the young man."I must goon until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn." B But that will go on for ever. " The Prince protested. "Exactly, " the young man replied, and he smileds beautiful young daughter.as he turned towards the Pr

22、ince41. The Prince always felt regretted about story becauseA. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42.

24、hen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof wasA. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging 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 b

25、ox with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children tocolor or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box alsomotivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents forthem .Some packages sug

26、gest that a buyer will get 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,

27、the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has“ EconomySize printed 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

28、the product is sold and the 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. Wh

29、ich of the following statements 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.

31、ge?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.D. Economy Size doesn 't always suggest t

32、hat people can buy the most product for the least money49. What does the wordthem ( Line 5, Para. 1 ) refer to? A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn ' t believe the information on th

33、e package 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 ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly s

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

35、e 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 thatit was full of well-known proverbsand quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the Eng

36、lish 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 in w

37、hich Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though someaspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare' s day.51. English people A. have never discussed who is the world' s greate

38、st poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world' s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world' s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world' s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knowsA. more or less about Shakesp

39、eareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare ' s writingsD. only the name of greatestEnglish writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare' s writings.B. Shakespeare 's writings have become the property of those w

40、ho are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare' s writings.54. “HAMLET " is .A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended byShakespeareC. a play apprec

41、iated by ShakespeareD. a play people have beencomplaining about55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare' s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languagedaysC. Eng

42、lish words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare' s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in ShakespearePassage FourMost 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

43、the local sales tax is, and what items 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 $ 4

44、0 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20.This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mentionAnother thing that makes moneychanges more complicatedisChinese people have happilyput an end to tipping,but Westerners are stillmaking everything more expensive).plagued( 遭受

45、折磨)with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers andall 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 don't, the service person can

46、9;t earn a living. 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.A.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of

47、 whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends. 56. The main idea of this passage is.B. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tipp ingD. sales taxes and people57. Accord ing to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you p

48、ay extra as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558.
