Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.[br] Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.

Passage 3[br] Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:[br] The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in 1907. two years later a woman, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father brought her up. She loved her father very much.[br] In response to Mrs. Dodd’s idea that same year—1909, the state governor of Washington proclaimed (宣布) the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion “to establish more intimate (亲密) relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.[br] Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or pair of socks, as well as by sending greeting cards.[br] During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day, it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.[br] Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.[br] 11. When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?[br] A. 1907 B. 1909 C. 1916 D. 1924[br] 12. Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?[br] A. Mrs. John Bruce Dodd B. Mrs. John Bruce’s Mother[br] C. The government of Washington. D. Some businessmen.[br] 13. What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?[br] A. Lily B. Water Lily C. Red rose or white rose D. Sunflower.[br] 14. Which statement is true, a according to this passage?[br] A. It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.[br] B. The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.[br] C. Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.[br] D. Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.[br] 15. What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?[br] A. They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.[br] B. They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.[br] C. They just thought it a joke.[br] D. They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.
Passage 2[br] Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:[br] When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago, it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold. The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes, one of which was making pots and pans.[br] Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.[br] Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge “airbus” planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them, Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.[br] Since aluminum is such a versatile (多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite (铝土矿), which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.[br] 6.

Aluminum is being used extensively in the building industry.[br] D. Aluminum is not used in its pure form.[br] 9. Aluminum is found on earth mostly in the form of .[br] A. pure metal B. bauxite C. gold D. liquid[br] 10. What is the passage talking about?[br] A. The features of aluminum and its functions. B.

Passage 4[br] Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:[br] Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.[br] In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horses or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.[br] 16. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U.S. farms in 1870?[br] A. Animals B. Humans C. Engines D. Water[br] 17.

But what was the life of the cowboy really like?[br] The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboy were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town. The trips were called cattle drivers. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.[br] The cowboys had to make sure that cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn’t stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.[br] Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.[br] 11.

Passage 2[br] Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:[br] There are two kinds of memory: shot-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.[br] Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.[br] To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.[br] Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.[br] 6. Henning made the experiment in order to study .[br] A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory[br] B. how students learn English vocabulary[br] C. how to develop students’ ability in English[br] D. how long information in short-term memory is kept[br] 7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?[br] A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.[br] B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.[br] C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.[br] D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.[br] 8. From Henning’s result we can see that .[br] A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words[br] B. advanced students remember words by their meaning[br] C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike[br] D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning[br] 9. The word “subjects” in the passage means .[br] A. memory B. the theme of listening material[br] C. a branch of knowledge studied D. the students experimented on
Part I Reading Comprehension[br] Passage 1[br] Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:[br] In Washington D.C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.[br] Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. at this time, the city of Washington itself was being built; it was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L’Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L’Enfant then planned they city. The president’s home was an important part of the plan.[br] A contest was held to pick a design for the president’s home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.[br] President Washington never lived in the President Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not really like hew new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm![br] In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. Theu burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.[br] After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s homes. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.[br] The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.[br] 1.

It has completely 62 the horse as a means of everyday transportation. Americans use their cars for 63 90 percent of all personal 64 .[br] Most Americans are able to 65 cars.[br] The average price of a 66 made car was 1 050 in 1950, 1 740 in 1960 and up to 1 750 67 1975. During this period American car manufacturers set about 68 their products and work efficiency.[br] As a result, the yearly income of the 69 family increased from 1950 to 1975 70 than the price of cars. For this reason 71 a new car takes a smaller 72 of a family’s total earnings today.[br] In 1951 73 it took 8.1 months of an average family’s 74 to buy a new car. In 1962 a new car 75 8.3 of a family’s annual earnings. By 1975 it only took 4.75 76 income. In addition, the 1975 cars were technically 77 to models from previous years.[br] The 78 of the automobile extends throughout the economy 79 the car is so important to Americans.

People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental”, i. e. , they occur prior to the individual’s twenty-second birthday, often form genetic conditions, and are severe enough to effect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”, i.e. , accidental or caused by outside forces.[br] Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expert to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basic are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and again employment have historically been denied on the basic of disability.[br] In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to flight against these infringements (侵害) of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as protected class under civil rights statutes.[br] Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.[br] Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.[br] It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws are that disabled people will be fully able to take to their right place in society.[br] 16. ”developmental” disability .[br] A. develops very slowly over time B. is caused forces[br] C. occurs in youth and affects development D. is getting more and more severe[br] 17.

Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?[br] A. Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.[br] B. The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.[br] C. The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.[br] D. Discriminatory (有差别的) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.[br] 20. The best title for this passage might be .[br] A.

Passage 4[br] Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:[br] I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader’s Digest to test our vocabulary.[br] Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out “It pays to Enrich Your Word Power” first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the power that words have to move people—to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn’t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote form the February 1985 issue: ”Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk.”[br] Nineteen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That’s usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. Small and simple can be profound.[br] As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like “hope”, “guts”, “faith”, “dreams”. Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.[br] Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle—if it’s right word, in the right place, at the right time. It’s a “secret” that I hope never forget.[br] 16. The passage is mainly about .[br] A. one of the many old memories[br] B. using simple words to express profound ideas[br] C. Reader’s Digest and school speeches[br] D. how to make effective speeches[br] 17. It seems that Reader’s Digest is a magazine popular with .[br] A. people of all ages B. teenagers C. school teachers D. elderly readers[br] 18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean .[br] A. one spends his day playing and drinking[br] B. don’t waste your time as one does[br] C. time slips easily if you don’t make good use of it[br] D. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl[br] 19. The author’s “secret” is .[br] A. to avoid using big words at any time[br] B. to use words that have the power to move people[br] C. to work a miracle by using a small word[br] D. to use small and simple words where possible[br] 20. Accoeding to the author, well-chosen words can give people .[br] A. hope, courage and ideas[br] B. confidence, determination and strength[br] C. pleasure, knowledge and encourage[br] D. entertainment, information and power[br] Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Passage 3[br] Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:[br] About 70 million Americans are trying to loss weight. That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on ideas. This means they eat less certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with especial equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?[br] Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat? Almost 30 million Americans weight at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United State is the most overweight country in the wild. “The stored fat of adult Americans weight 2.3 trillion pounds,” says University of Massachusetts anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.[br] Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.[br] 11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight?[br] A. To eat less fats and sugars. B. To work hard.[br] 12. Many Americans are trying to lose weight because .[br] A. they want to look attractive B. they are misled by doctors[br] C. they want to keep fit D. both A and C[br] 13. The figures given in the second paragraph suggest that .[br] A. Americans are dependent on cars B. cars consume a lot of money[br] C. Americans need lose weight D. excess of fat can be a source of energy[br] 14. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .[br] A. diet books are not always effective B. diet books are usually helpful[br] C. there are lots of ways of losing weight D. bookstores are keeping their promises[br] 15. It can be concluded from the passage that .[br] A. people think too much of their appearance[br] B. there is not a sure way of losing weight as yet[br] C. surgery is the fastest way of losing weight[br] D. going on diet is a safe way of losing weight
