Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The style of banks has changed and the bankers have already discovered a new way to do business. They lend money and collect debts through the development of the credit card.The credit card is now providing such great convenience and opportunities to people that they can almost do anything with the help of it. They can borrow money from the banks without going there. With a credit card in hand, people can travel around the world easily. They can check in a hotel or motel, eat in a restaurant without any cash on them. They can even rent a car in another city or country when they travel. The credit card also helps people pay their bills in time.It is the victory for the computer. The credit cards and computers allow bankers to lend money without ever having to see a customer or to employ an extra teller. Credit card companies make a lot of benefits from the business, too.1. The bankers new way to do business, according to the passage, is _.A. to do their business through the development of the credit card B. to do their business in a hotel or motelC. to pay their bills in timeD. to lend money to collect debts2. The credit card can help people _.A. pay their bills in timeB. borrow money from the banksC. rent a car in another city or country when they travelD. all of the above3.

Credit companies are _.A. bankers who lend money to othersB. bankers who borrow money from othersC. the companies that do credit card businessD. credit cards providers for great bankersPassage 2Education is not an end, but a means(手段)to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is for life.In some modern countries, it has been fashionable to think that by free education for all- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think low work. In fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we would die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and moved the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.6. The author of this passage thinks that A. education can settle all of the worlds problemsB. free education wont help to solve social problemsC. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldD. all the social problems cant be solved by education7. The author wants to prove that A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. People with university degrees refuse to do what they think low work8. One can learn from the passage A. work with hands is dirty and shamefulB. we cant regard work with hands as low work C. work with hands is the most importantD. work with hands is low work9. The purpose of education is A. to choose the system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to build a perfect worldD. to let everyone receive education fit for him10. The passage mainly tells us about of education.A. the meansB. the systemC. the valueD. the typePassage 3A great deal of nonsense is written about the character of a nation, chiefly because many observers, influenced by national pride and prejudices feel irresistibly tempted（诱惑） to generalize（概括） about everything. In a nation of many millions of people, there are bound to be many different kinds: rich and poor, clever and stupid, good and bad, modest and conceited（自满的）, patient and impatient, honest and dishonest. Moreover, a nation may develop a sort of collective character in its politics and literature, which is not recognizable in individual people. Generalizations, therefore, tend to be unrealistic, and should be made, and accepted, with caution. One word of warning is necessary. The British people who take up appointments in Asia and Africa are not fully typical of their nation. For one thing, they are usually specialists in one field or another. The average British person is not a specialist, and although he can read and write he is not particularly cultured in the intellectual sense. “Highbrow” is a word very often used by the common people of Britain to describe and condemn any form of intellectual culture.Moreover, the great technical achievements of Europeans do not mean that a European is basically more intelligent than an African or Asian. The achievements are due to the handing down and sharing of knowledge and to organized training and research rather than to mental superiority; and of course, the mere possession of, say, a motor-car or washing machine and the ability to operate it, does not require any understanding of how it works.11. To know the character of a nation, one should _.A. observe the behavior of the leadersB. read the literature of the nationC. never accept any generalizationsD. form a sound judgment of everything12. One reason for the difference between the British people working abroad and the average person at home is that the former _.A. are more intellectually culturedB. have made many foreign friendsC. work much harderD. hold important positions13. According to the author, _.A. Europeans are more intelligent than Africans and AsiansB. there is no such a thing as mental superiorityC. Europeans should share their knowledge with Africans and AsiansD. mental superiority is vital to the scientific progress in Europe14. This passage is written _.A. to warn the readers against misunderstanding the British peopleB. to make a brief introduction to different social classes in BritainC. to criticize the nonsense written about BritainD. to describe the peoples living conditions in Britain15. What does the author imply by writing the last sentence of the passage?A. Knowing how to operate a motor-car or washing machine means a high mental intelligence.B. The technical achievements of Europeans are due to their intelligence.C. Only knowing how to operate some household appliances does not really mean that they are of real intelligence.D. Europeans are more intelligent than Africans and Asians because they are ofmental superiority.Passage 4As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make choices between “ flight” and “fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we can not remove stress from our life (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 16. We are fast losing the art of relaxation because_.A. the pace of life is increasingB. we are rushing through our lifeC. we are on the go from morning till nightD. all of the above17. According to the writer, the most important character for a manager is _.A. to know the art of relaxationB. not to fear stressC. to provide motivation for othersD. to enjoy good health18. As far as the amount of stress is concerned, _.A. different people can withstand different amount of stressB. different people can withstand the same amount of stressC. a man can withstand different amount of stress at different timeD. a man can withstand the same amount of stress at different time19. The phrase “such a reaction” refers to _.A. the “fight”B. the “ flight”C. the reaction to high blood pressure and heart diseases D. the reaction to stress both chemically and physically 20. The authors idea about stress is possibly _.A. to completely remove it from our livesB. to have stronger stress that lasts longerC. to find proper ways to deal with itD. to be always exposed to huge stressPassage 5If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States today. It is mainly an indoor game, and the season extends from late autumn, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams; but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather, you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of that land, and the activities of the professional teams are a subject of conversation for Americans everywhere.In autumn, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing any sense in it. But for most people the game itself is not so important as the music and the cheering that go with it. On a cool bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.21.

Our clothes, our automobiles, even our kinds of food, will seem very queer to them. “How strange life must have been back
