When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label (标签),telling who made it or from which store it was bought . Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried forever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products would be pleased to do away with labels entirely. However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried on it. This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth. The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren’t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they buy. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say. 56. The passage is mainly about_________. A. some knowledge of clothing labels B. some advice on how to get dressed C. some advice on buying clothes D. some knowledge of the quality of clothes 57. According to the passage, from a label we can know all of the following EXCEPT_________. A. who made the clothes B. where one bought the clothes C. how much the clothes cost D. what material the clothes are made of 58. The law requires that a product should carry a _________. A. clean label B. clear label C. white label D. secret label 59. The author probably thinks that_________. A. all buyers want their clothes to wear labels forever B. many buyers depend on labels when buying clothes C. most stores don’t sell clothes with labels D. most labels don’t tell buyers the truth |
All plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption(吸收)of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens(苔藓)you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots. Even among the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are “the higher plants” because they evolved(进化)recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale(进化度). In the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots, they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The plant gets its water only from the dew(露水)it collects at night, when its leaves cool off. Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house, the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation(绝缘物)of electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves. 64.From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to _______ . A. evolutionary cycles B. heights and depths C. time D. kinds 65.The “bromeliad” is a plant that _______ . A.has useless roots B. is a pineapple C.can grow anywhere D. takes up water through its leaves 66.The most suitable title for this passage is “_______ ”. A. Absorption of water by plants B. Rootless plants C. Plants in the desert D. Higher plants |
Attitude is an internal(内在的)state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual. The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school. Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude. Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正)of attitudes. 72. According to the passage, attitudes _______ . A. come from different situations in one’s life B. are largely affected by one’s behavior C. remain unchanged in one’s daily life D. could be chosen according to one’s will 73. The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show _______ . A. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed B. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds C. particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action D. an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily 74. Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes? A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success. B. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer. C. Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea. D. Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents. 75. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Differences of Attitudes. B. Nature of Attitude. C. Choices of Attitudes. D. Modification of Attitude. |
Last week’s topic: What’s your opinion about cheating in exams? Wilson 822 (Fujian): An oath isn’t enough to keep anyone from cheating. Who can tell that they won’t promise something that goes against their will? So I think the punishment is important. Punishments should be serious enough to stop people breaking the oath! Wang Changling (Anhui): The oath itself makes all test-takers think that others may consider them would-be cheaters, which can hurt their feelings. In my opinion, prevention is better than a punishment. Educators should set good examples for students to follow and be role models for them. Even if only a few educators continue to copy other people’s work and their research papers, surely, students will follow. Anonymous(匿名的): I support the school’s action against cheating. Although the oath isn’t a duty, it can warn the would-be cheater. Cathy Cheng: I find it is hard to refuse a friend who wants help in exams. And I think the rule of Maryland University gives the students like me a good excuse to refuse. Zzq8301: I think it is a promising step toward what we’re talking about when we say “fair play” these days. Cheaters should be stopped because they make it difficult for the honest to succeed. Freda (Tianjin): I was told by my foreign teacher to write down the oath on the back of my test paper in the same way that was described in the article. It is a rule everyone should obey in a fair game. Whether this method succeeds or fails is up to you. What I want to say is to be true to yourself. 60. The underlined word “oath” in Paragraph 2 may have the same meaning as “_________”. A. idea B. promise C. plan D. opinion 61. It is clear that people mentioned in the text are talking about the rule made by _________. A. Maryland University B. some colleges C. the Education Department D. the government 62. How many people are in fact in favor of the rule? A. 3 B. 2 C. 4 D. 5 63. Who think teachers should set a good example? A. Wilson 822 B. Freda C. Cathy Cheng D. Wang Changling |
There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella. At first I couldn’t stand it; now I’m used to it. I don’t know his name. I know he’s ordinary in appearance, wears a gray suit and has a common face. One hot morning, when 1 was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper, suddenly I felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps striking me with an umbrella. So I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was crazy. He didn’t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened (威胁) to call a policeman. Calmly cool as a cucumber, he went on hitting me. After a few moments of hesitation (犹豫), and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down. But he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella. His nose was bleeding and, at that moment. I felt sorry for him I regretted having hit him so hard. After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me;he was only tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all. Of course, those taps were extremely upsetting. As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain;what you feel is annoyance (烦恼). Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time. Believing that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me. So I began to run (I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do). He ran after me, trying to hit me. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there. 64. When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author_________ A. became angry B. called the police C. turned around and escaped D. turned around and fought back 65. The author would most probably agree that the man was________. A. deaf B. blind C. dead D. mad 66. The author felt sorry for the man because _______. A. there was a fly on the man’s head B. he hit the man so hard that his nose bled C. the man couldn’t catch up with him D. the man formed a bad habit of beating others 67. It can be learned from the passage that the man__________. A. shouted loudly while hitting the author B. wanted to tell the author something C. ran after the author breathlessly D. acted as if he were a fly |
