A
What do you read?
the paperback
at the grocery, what I found at the library,
magazines, the back of boxes. The idea of
consciously seeking out a special title was
new to me.
He looked up and down at me as
though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he
nodded,
and handed me a dark red book, fairly
thick.
The Last of the Just,
I started
after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable
kitchen chair, Within a few pages,
the yard,
the summer, disappeared. Translated from French,
the language was beautiful, simple,
impossible
to resist. When the evening light finally failed I
moved inside, read all through the
night.
To this day, thirty years later, I clearly
remember the experience. It was my first meeting
with
world literature, and I was amazed by the
strong power a novel contained. I lacked the
vocabulary,
however, to translate my feelings
into words, so the next week, when Mr. Ballou
asked,
only replied,
I nodded, and was
presented with Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in
Samoa.
To make the story short, Mr. Ballou
never paid me a cent for helping cut his grass
that year or
the next, but for fifteen years I
taught anthropology（人类学）at Dartmouth College. That
summer
when I started to read became a turning
point in my life which change the course of all
that
followed.
21. Which of the following
is true about the author before he met Mr. Ballou?
A. He was merely fond of magazines.
B. He hardly read anything.
C. He found no
time to read
D. He was not an enthusiastic
reader
22. What happened when the author
started to read The Last of the Just .
A. He became absorbed in his reading
B. He
didn't know where to go
C. He found it
impossible to translate it
D. He was eager
to read another book
23. Mr. Ballou offered
the author books probably because he .
A. found that the author had no money to
buy books
B. intended to sell some books to
the author
C. wanted to reward the author's
help
D. expected the author to translate
them
24. Why did the author tell this story?
A. To inform us of the importance of
reading
B. To introduce an important
experience in reading
C. To persuade more
people to read in summer
D. To show the close
relationship between the author and Mr. Ballou
3
B
The ideal companion machine - the computer -
would not only look, feel, and sound friendly
but would also behave in a pleasant manner.
Its informal conversational style makes
interaction
comfortable, and yet the machine
would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore
very
interesting. In its first encounter it
might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know
the user it
would progress to a more relaxed
and intimate style. The machine would not be a
passive
participant but would add its own
suggestions, information, and opinions; it would
sometimes take
the initiative in developing or
changing the topic and would have a personality of
its own.
Friendships are not made in a day,
and the computer would be more acceptable as a
friend if it
imitated the gradual changes that
occur when one person is getting to know another.
At an
appropriate time it might also express
the kind of affection that stimulates attachment
and intimacy.
The whole process would be
accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an
impression of
over-familiarity that would be
likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a
wealth of powerful,
well-timed friendship
indicators, the user would be very likely to
accept the computer as far more
than a machine
and might well come to regard it as a friend.
An artificial relationship of this type would
provide many of the benefits that people obtain
from interpersonal relationships. The computer
would participate in interesting conversation that
could continue from previous discussions. It
would have a familiarity with the user's life as
revealed in earlier contact, and it would be
understanding and good-humored. The computer's own
personality would be lively and impressive,
and it would develop in response to that of the
user.
With features such as these, the
computer might indeed become a very attractive
social partner.
25. What would the computer do
according to Paragraph l?
A. Passively
receive information.
B. Become intimate
right away.
C. Behave more like humans
D. Know everything about the user.
26. The
second paragraph intends to tell us .
A. it takes time for computers to gain
personality of it own
B. friendship is built
by expressing love and affection continuously
C. a computer is more like a machine than a
friend in human's eyes
D. timing is the key
for a computer to make friends with humans
27.
Throughout the passage, the author is in
his attitude toward the computer.
A.
favorable B. critical C.
hesitant D. vague
28. Which might be
the most appropriate title of the passage?
A. Artificial relationships B.
How to form intimate relationships
C. The
caring and tender machine D. Humans
and computers
C
Shoppers on Black Friday, the traditional
start of the holiday shopping season in America,
are
notoriously aggressive. Some even start
queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first
to lay
their hands on heavily discounted
goods. Last year destructive bargain-hunters in
the suburbs of
New York City trampled a
WalMart employee to death. Despite the madness at
many stores,
however, the global economic
recession appears to have accelerated the pace at
which shoppers are
abandoning physical stores
in favour of retailers on the cyberspace such as
Amazon and eBay.
E-commerce holds particular
appeal in poor times as it enables people to
compare prices
4
across
retailers quickly and easily. Buyers can sometimes
avoid local sales taxes online, and
shipping
is often free. No wonder, then, that online
shopping continues to grow even as the offline
sort declines. The shift in spending to the
Internet is good news for companies like P & G
that lack
retail shops of their own. But it is
a big concern for physical retailers, whose prices
are often higher
than those of e-retailers,
since they must bear the extra expense of running
stores. The most
obvious response to the trend
for traditional retailers is to redouble their own
efforts in the virtual
space.
The concept
of
same retailer in several different ways
online, via their mobile phones and in shops - is
gaining
ground, and retailers are trying to
motivate users of one channel to try another.
Growing online
traffic may actually increase
sales in stores too. Retailers are also trying to
make online shopping
seem fun and exciting to
act against the low economy. One common tactic is
to set up
stores, which appear for a short
time before disappearing again, to develop a sense
of novelty and
urgency.
29. The writer
mentioned Black Friday in the first paragraph in
order to .
A. show how rude
American shoppers are
B. accuse the
destructive bargain hunters
C. explain how
bad the economic situation is
D. show
online shopping is gaining ground
30. What
does the underlined word
A. The change of
purchasing model of the customers
B. Buyers
started comparing prices when making a purchase
C. Physical retailers' running cost is
becoming unaffordable
D. Retailers can't
keep up with the development of the Internet
31. What's the retailer's purpose of setting
up
A. To cut down the operating cost
B. To increase their online sales
C. To
make shopping easy and fast D. To
avoid local sales taxes
32. What is the
writer's main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To convince buyers to abandon aggressive
shopping habits.
B. To encourage physical
stores to compete with online stores.
C. To
describe a form of business that is on the rise.
D. To explain the influence of Internet on
people's life.

Let
your hands swing, keep your neck straight and hold
your shoulders back. Walking
confidently will
make you feel more attractive and be more
confident.
(3) Don't compare yourself to
others.
You don't have to look like a
model or a host on TV. However, you can learn to
love yourself
as you are 39 Make a list of
your attractive qualities, and think about those
each time you
want to compare yourself with
someone else,
(4) Avoid negative thoughts
about yourself,
40 View pictures that

into words, so the next week, when Mr. Ballou
asked,
only replied,

The ideal companion machine - the computer -
would not only look, feel, and sound friendly
but would also behave in a pleasant manner.
Its informal conversational style makes
interaction
comfortable, and yet the machine
would remain slightly unpredictable and therefore
very
interesting. In its first encounter it
might be somewhat hesitant, but as it came to know
the user it
would progress to a more relaxed
and intimate style. The machine would not be a
passive
participant but would add its own
suggestions, information, and opinions; it would
sometimes take
the initiative in developing or
changing the topic and would have a personality of
its own.
Friendships are not made in a day,
and the computer would be more acceptable as a
friend if it
imitated the gradual changes that
occur when one person is getting to know another.
At an
appropriate time it might also express
the kind of affection that stimulates attachment
and intimacy.
The whole process would be
accomplished in a subtle way to avoid giving an
impression of
over-familiarity that would be
likely to produce irritation. After experiencing a
wealth of powerful,
well-timed friendship
indicators, the user would be very likely to
accept the computer as far more
than a machine
and might well come to regard it as a friend.
An artificial relationship of this type would
provide many of the benefits that people obtain
from interpersonal relationships. The computer
would participate in interesting conversation that
could continue from previous discussions. It
would have a familiarity with the user's life as
revealed in earlier contact, and it would be
understanding and good-humored. The computer's own
personality would be lively and impressive,
and it would develop in response to that of the
user.
With features such as these, the
computer might indeed become a very attractive
social partner.
25. What would the computer do
according to Paragraph l?
A. Passively
receive information.
B. Become intimate
right away.
C. Behave more like humans
D. Know everything about the user.
26. The
second paragraph intends to tell us .
A. it takes time for computers to gain
personality of it own
B. friendship is built
by expressing love and affection continuously
C. a computer is more like a machine than a
friend in human's eyes
D. timing is the key
for a computer to make friends with humans
27.
Throughout the passage, the author is in
his attitude toward the computer.
A.
favorable B. critical C.
hesitant D. vague
28. Which might be
the most appropriate title of the passage?
A. Artificial relationships B.
How to form intimate relationships
C. The
caring and tender machine D. Humans
and computers
C
Shoppers on Black Friday, the traditional
start of the holiday shopping season in America,
are
notoriously aggressive. Some even start
queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first
to lay
their hands on heavily discounted
goods. Last year destructive bargain-hunters in
the suburbs of
New York City trampled a
WalMart employee to death. Despite the madness at
many stores,
however, the global economic
recession appears to have accelerated the pace at
which shoppers are
abandoning physical stores
in favour of retailers on the cyberspace such as
Amazon and eBay.
E-commerce holds particular
appeal in poor times as it enables people to
compare prices
4
across
retailers quickly and easily. Buyers can sometimes
avoid local sales taxes online, and
shipping
is often free. No wonder, then, that online
shopping continues to grow even as the offline
sort declines. The shift in spending to the
Internet is good news for companies like P & G
that lack
retail shops of their own. But it is
a big concern for physical retailers, whose prices
are often higher
than those of e-retailers,
since they must bear the extra expense of running
stores. The most
obvious response to the trend
for traditional retailers is to redouble their own
efforts in the virtual
space.
The concept
of
same retailer in several different ways
online, via their mobile phones and in shops - is
gaining
ground, and retailers are trying to
motivate users of one channel to try another.
Growing online
traffic may actually increase
sales in stores too. Retailers are also trying to
make online shopping
seem fun and exciting to
act against the low economy. One common tactic is
to set up
stores, which appear for a short
time before disappearing again, to develop a sense
of novelty and
urgency.
29. The writer
mentioned Black Friday in the first paragraph in
order to .
A. show how rude
American shoppers are
B. accuse the
destructive bargain hunters
C. explain how
bad the economic situation is
D. show
online shopping is gaining ground
30. What
does the underlined word
A. The change of
purchasing model of the customers
B. Buyers
started comparing prices when making a purchase
C. Physical retailers' running cost is
becoming unaffordable
D. Retailers can't
keep up with the development of the Internet
31. What's the retailer's purpose of setting
up
A. To cut down the operating cost
B. To increase their online sales
C. To
make shopping easy and fast D. To
avoid local sales taxes
32. What is the
writer's main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To convince buyers to abandon aggressive
shopping habits.
B. To encourage physical
stores to compete with online stores.
C. To
describe a form of business that is on the rise.
D. To explain the influence of Internet on
people's life.

(2) 38
Let
your hands swing, keep your neck straight and hold
your shoulders back. Walking
confidently will
make you feel more attractive and be more
confident.
(3) Don't compare yourself to
others.
You don't have to look like a
model or a host on TV. However, you can learn to
love yourself
as you are 39 Make a list of
your attractive qualities, and think about those
each time you
want to compare yourself with
someone else,
