Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. 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 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stories. Clothes, which have been worn only a few tunes, have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened: necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim mat the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they lake advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some lime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high--heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be
drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
21. What is the tone of the passage?
A) Criticizing
B) Praising
C) Matter-of-fact
D) Enthusiastic
22. According to the author, fashion is a thing that ____.
A) is neither a waste of money nor a waste of time
B) contributes something really important to the society
C) is practical
D) makes its followers suffer
23. Which of the implications about the last paragraph is TRUE?
A) Women are inconsistent and unstable.
B) Men are stable and reliable.
C) Dress cannot reflect a person's character.
D) Men are clever enough not to care about women's appearance.
24. This passage is most probably written____.
A) from a woman's point of view
B) from a man's point of view
C) by a woman
D) by a man
25. With regard to the whole passage, who are to blame for the quickly changing fashion industry?
A) Women themselves.
B) Fashion designers.
C) Big stores.
D) All of the above.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Marshall Field's, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: "Give the lady what she wants." Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It often
studies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens. Marketing research also investigates distribution systems, pricing, promotion, product design, packaging, brand names, and almost every aspect of the seller-buyer relationship.
Marketing research is divided into number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products; television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics(化妆品)will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new-product development. Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.
26. The distribution system aims to ____.
A) sell goods in markets
B) deliver products to different places
C) analyze products
D) produce and sell goods
27. As far as advertising is concerned, television ____.
A) is the best medium for direct advertising
B) is the best medium for indirect advertising
C) is a suitable medium only for certain goods
D) is the quickest and cheapest means of advertising
28. Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of market differentiation according to ____.
A) age and education
B) population group
C) quality and size
D) gender and occupation
29. Performance analysis and product analysis differ in that ____.
A) the former aims to find out how a goal is met in a more efficient way
B) the former is to find out if the present performance is directed to the goal
C) the latter aims to find out how the present product is marketed
D) the latter aims to find out whether a product is being sold well
30. According to the last paragraph, the cost of marketing research ____.
A) is supplied by the producer and seller together
B) is met by increasing the price of the product
C) is too expensive to be met only by the producer
D) is high but the price of the product should be kept low
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling, Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (组成的) part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, lake assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A) Education and schooling are quite different experiences.
B) One can receive education everywhere; going to school is not a must.
C) The common belief that people go to school to get an education is wrong.
D) Schooling offers a limited section of formal training while education covers a vast field of informal training.
32. What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt their education to go to school”(Para.1)?
A) The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.
B) People are engaged in education the whole life.
C) Children go to school just to make trouble.
D) Schooling is not educationally beneficial.
33. The phrase "For example" in Para.3 introduces a sentence that gives examples of ____.
A) the slices of reality that are to be learned
B) the results of schooling
C) limitations of classroom teaching
D) the similarities of alt schools
34. Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?
A) Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.
B) Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.
C) Education involves many years of competence training.
D) Going to school is only part of one's education.
35. The passage is written in the way of ____.
A) contrasting the meanings of two related words
B) giving examples of different kinds of education
C) listing and discussing several educational problems
D) providing facts to support an argument
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and receiver.
The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.
Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry(模仿). Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking(抚摸手)has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.
The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common:
they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.
36. The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because ____.
A) communication actually takes place when the message is received
B) there are more means of receiving than of sending communications
C) reception of communications involves use of the senses
D) it is difficult to organize by the means of sending communications
37. Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ____.
A) communication by sound
B) gesture and mimicry
C) communication by touch
D) a simple system of visual communication
38. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through a system of ____.
A) gesturing
B) handshaking
C) hand-stroking
D) backslapping
39. The author specifically mentions that speech is ____.
A) often used when communicating by touch
B) the most developed form of communication based on hearing
C) the only highly developed system of communication
D) necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture
40. Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is NOT TRUE?
A) They can be used to communicate over long distances.
B) They require both a sender and a receiver.
C) They involve use of conventional signs and symbols.
D) They utilize the senses for reception.

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This 71 called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy 72. During the hours when you 73 your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most 74 is when your cycle of body temperature is 75 its peak.

Man and Animals
Man and animals have been coexisting on this planet for many centuries. Ever since he appeared on the earth man has been depending on animals for many things, such as meat, fur and medical materials. Some clever animals like dogs and horses have long been man’s friends and good helpers in his daily life. On the other hand, animals have been depending on man for the protection of their habitat and their reproduction.
But the present condition of wildlife is discouraging. Their living space is becoming increasingly smaller as a result of environmental pollution and the destruction of forests. Owing to man’s capture and killing a lot of species have already died out, and many more are now on the verge of extinction. So the total number and species of wild animals are greatly reducing. If such state of affairs should continue, man would ultimately become the only creature on this planet.
Animals are part of the whole ecological system, and without them the balance of nature will be destroyed and man will not be able to live on. Therefore, some effective measures should be taken to protect wildlife. First, man should be more aware of the importance of protecting animals and loving those fellow creatures. Second, relevant laws should be made to punish those who cut down trees or kill animals at random.
Third, better living environments for wild animals, such as natural reservations and national parks, should be created. In short, the world won’t look so beautiful unless man and animals live in harmony forever.

When dad told us about the delivery work it sounded easy, just a piece of cake. The trouble was, we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved. Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long, leaving stacks of advertising. It seemed we should have no chance of meeting the deadline. The we had this marvelous idea. Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time. True, it would cut into our profits, but there was no alternative. things seemed to be going well, but then we had trouble over a pay claim. Our workers demanded five dollars an hour, but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less. As for us, when we finally settled our accounts we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for our efforts. I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy. While it is often said that love makes the world go round, scientists take a less romantic view. To their minds, energy is the fundamental force at work. All animal life is dependent on obtaining sufficient energy from food. Deer, like other wild animals, do this through eating as much food as possible in the summer, when food resources are abundant. Any excess of energy over their current needs is deposited in the body in the form of fat. Then, when food becomes scarce in the winter, they can live off the fat. In addition, nature helps them to survive the winter by slowing down their metabolism, assisting them to pull through the cold weather. However, when the winter is particularly harsh, deer may have to draw on the fat they have built up more heavily. Under such conditions, only deer in good condition are able to survive to give birth to a new generation. In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more superstitious today than they were in the Middle Ages. They promptly accept the opinions of experts without asking any questions themselves. Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point that we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities. Rather, we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves. By way of illustration, Orwell outlines arguments against the Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories, thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowledge actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment. Finally, Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge. The last time Lyz saw her husband was as he waved goodbye to her from the steps of their house. He was due to fly off on business later that day. Unluckily for him his flight was cancelled and he found himself having to take United Flight 93 the following day. It was from on board that ill-fated flight that he telephoned with the news that hijackers had threatened to blow up the aircraft. Cursing his bad luck, he nonetheless realized that his fate was in his own hands. Hoping that the terrorists were bluffing when they claimed to have a bomb, he and some other passengers decided to act. Without hanging up, he set off with the others to attack the hijackers. From the telephone came the sound of screams. Then silence.

He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics：the fact that we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong. Throughout life，most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working，playing，raising a family，learning，or simply relaxing，we usually pursue it in groups，even if the group is as small as two or three people. Out need for human contacts is not merely a practical one；it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods，mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention（日内瓦公约），an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war，recognizes this need. It regards solitary （孤独的）imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form of torture（折磨）。 In its strictest sense， a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expe ctations about one another‘s behavior. As result of this interaction，members feel a common sense of“belonging.”They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders. 21.By“No man is an island，”John Donne means _____. A.no one can live on an island alone B.a man is not surrounded by sea on all sides C.a man and an island are irrelevan D.no one can live in isolation from other people 22.The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that ____. A.poeple are different from animals B.Donne recognized the group to which he belonged C.human beings are social animals D.human behavior and personalities are formed by others 23.“Breakdown”as used in Line 6，Paragraph 2 most probably denotes ____. A.separation B.collapse C.analysis D.function 24.According to the passage，what is NOT a characteristic of group？ A.There are at least two people in it. B.The members share some common grounds. C.The members work for one purpose. D.The members interact regularly with each other. 25.This passage is mainly about _______. A.the importance of human contacts B.pattens of human behavior C.the importance of human activities D.patterns of human society Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
