Reading Comprehension ( 50 分)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.(81) Perhaps the best way to learn how tobehave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavioris like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety ofsituations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identifyand adopt good working habits.41. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in theworking world becauseA. they were not well educated at schoolB.what they learn in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeC.the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school42. The underlined word "arise" in Para. I means.A. come into beingB. bringaboutC. go upD. cause to happen43. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is.A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situationsC. to find a person you admire and make friends with himD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire44. The purpose of this writing is.A. to offer career guide to young peopleB. to tell young people the importance of the first jobC. to instruct young people how to communicate with peopleD. to advise young people on good working habits45. The passage could be best entitled _.A. Learn, Learn and Learn AgainB. One Is Never Too Old to LearnC. Learn from a ModelD. Learn ForeverPassage TwoAirline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage.If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds(20kg) ; in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed(补偿) by Canadian International Development Agency(CIDA).Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destina-tion. (82) If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of(由……代收) the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement, using the following model:Surname, first nameName of your countryAddress of the executing agencyCity, country, postal codeTelephone number of executing agencyIf you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada. If none of these details are available, you can use CIDA's address.46. If you can't find your luggage at the point of arrival, airline companies will try to find it and _.A. ask you to insure your luggageB. deliver it to where you liveC. inform you about its recoveryD. ask you to pay some money for it47.

The passage is mainly about CIDA's advice on.A. the charge of your luggageB. the handling of your luggageC. the insurance of your luggageD. the transportation of your luggagePassage ThreeSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up the exchanges of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co- workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionshipsupportive.(83)Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same timedistracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support－money aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.51. The author mainly talks about _.A. how to improve our interpersonal relationshipsB. people's health conditionsC. how to deal with daily worries and problemsD. the importance of interpersonal relationships52. Para.2 is mainly about _.A. ways to reduce stressB. informational supportC. instrumental supportD. social companionship53. The word "cushion" in Para. 2 means.A. increase the effect ofB. reduce the effect ofC. a mat placed beneath the carpet of a sofaD. a rug placed on the floor54. Lending money to a person in trouble belongs to.A. the strengthening of self-respectB. social companionshipC. instrumental supportD. informational support55. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Playing chess with others in spare time is of informational support.B. Social support enables us to succeed in dealing with all kinds of problems.C. With social support, people will become perfect without any faults.D. It's possible that people who have fewer social ties are in poor health.Passage Four(84)One of the best-known proverbs must be "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a manhealthy, wealthy and wise. " The promises of health, wealth and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retires and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States 200 billion dollars are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such a big business that it employs 4. 8 million people and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people whoare concerned about their physical well-being.Much more interest has been shown in preventive(预防的) medicine in recent years. (85) This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics,Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively that many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that overone million people are jogging. The last time I was in Honolulu, I wasamazedto see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them had run in the Hawaiian Marathon.Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?"A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found wherever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchins who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes. "56.The underlined word "retires". in Para. 1 probably refers to.A. people who go to.bedB. people who live in quiet placesC. people who have a lot of free timeD. people who give up their work57. The first paragraph indicates that medical workers.A. can make a lot of moneyB. like running sports more than ordinary peopleC. are more concerned with their own healthD. are in great demand58.In the United States, medical treatment is.A. expensiveB. insufficientC. very effectiveD. cheap59. The pronoun "it" in the last sentence of the passage means.A. exerciseB. the thought of exerciseC. meD. nothing60. The examples of conversation in the last paragraph are used _.A. to show the writer's love for travelB. to prove that the writer was a good runnerC. to show people's interest in exerciseD. to prove that people are tired of old conversation topicsⅢ.

Good salesman brings out such a substitute with68: "I know this is not the style you want, sir; but would you like to try it for size? It happens to _ 69the color you told me." Few men70patience with this kind of treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and maybe the right size, _ 71 _ I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it72."For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the opposite way.

Main Street was always in the heart of a town. This street was62on both sides with63businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries.64, some shops offered65. These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. _66in the 1950s, a change began to67.Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street68too few parking places were69shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces _70the city limits. Open space is what their car-driving customers needed. And open space is what they got71the first shopping center was built Shopping centers, or rather malls,72as a collection of small new stores73crowded city centers.74by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from75areas to outlying malls. And the growing 76 of shopping centers led77to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. _ 78 _ the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves.
