Passage 1
Mr. Clarke works in a middle school. He likes reading and often borrows some books from
the library. He keeps 21 to the radio every morning and reading newspapers after supper.
So he knows much and teaches well. His students worship（崇拜）him very much.
Mike, Mr. Clarke's little son, is only nine. He 22 likes reading books. And he often
asks his father some qusetions. Mr. Clarke always thinks he's too 23_ to understand him and
chooses the easiest ones to answer. Of course the boy is not pleased with that.
One day Mike read _24 about the lights and was interested in it. When his father told
him to do some housework, he went on thinking of it. He asked him 25_ questions, and his
father answered all. Then his father said proudly, "Fathers always know more than sons!"
The boy thought for a while and said, "I don't think so!"

Passage 4
It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the
same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first 21 to introduce equal pay for equal
work.

2 / 11
 Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one
may be doing it twice as fast as the 22 ; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other
is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the
amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this 23 is called
piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at
different rates, which take differences in skill into 24 . This usually means that the younger
and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the _25__ and more experienced one,
which seems reasonable enough.
干同样活的两个人得到的却是不同的酬金，这看起来似乎很不公平。但是同劳同酬的引
入起初并不是那么简单。两个人可能在一个工厂里肩并肩做同样的工作，其中一个以同
样 的速度但要做两次，或是其中一个没有出错而另一个出了很多错。有些类型的工作，
人们 可以解决速度问题，如果是按工作总量算而不是按时间算。这种方式叫做计件工。
但是并 不是任何时候这种方式都行得通，有时还是需要按速度来算酬金，把技术的娴熟
程度考虑 进去。这就意味着越年轻、经历越少的工人比更年长的、经历丰富的工人挣得
更少。这看 起来很合理

Passage 5
It’s very interesting to study names of different countries. Chinese names are different
from foreign names. Once an English lady came to 21 me. When I was introduced to her,
she said, “Glad to meet you, Miss Ping.” Then she gave me her name card with three words on
it: “Betty J.Black”. So I said, “Thank you, Miss Betty.” We looked at each other and laughed
heartily. Later I found that the English people 22 their family names last and the given
names first, while their middles are not used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese
family name comes first, the given names last, so she 23 never call me Miss Ping. She
asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didn’t. But people may often find three
words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first and the other
words after it 24 a two－word given name. It is quite usual in China. My sister is Li
Xiaofang. She has two words in her given name instead of just one 25 mine．
学习不同的国家的取名是一件很有趣的事。中国人的取名不同于外国人的取名。曾经，
有一个英国女士来访问我。我做完自我介绍后，她打招呼道：“萍小姐，很高兴见到你。”
然后她给我她的名片，上面写着“Betty J.Black”。因此我回道：“谢谢，贝帝小姐。”我们
看着彼此，不禁笑起来。之后，我发现了原来英国人的姓在名之后，而中间的名字并不常
用。我向她解释道，中国人的名字姓在前，名在后，所以她不应该叫我萍小姐。她问我们
中国人是否有中间名。我告诉她我们没有。但是人们通常会发现在中国人的名片上有时候
会出现三个字。在这种情况下，姓放在首位，把具有两个汉字的名跟在后面。这在中国是
很常见的。我的姐姐叫李晓芳。她姓李名晓芳，名有两个汉字，而不像我的只有一个。

classes which most institutions provide throughout the academic year．Another basic strategy is

Passage 16
Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a
great effect 21__ the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers
generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many
packages are products, ’’ as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling
for packaging, noticed.”
Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that
colors draw human _22 quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color
of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And
the word “green” today can keep food prices _23__. Shapes are another attraction. Circles often
suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the
heart. That’s 24 the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and
old.
This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages remains producers and
sellers that people 25 to satisfy both body and soul.

Passage 17
Mike always loves ships. When he was younger, he said, “I’m going go into the army.” But his
eyes were not very 21 , and he did not get in.
Then he said, “I’m going to buy a small boat, and I’m going to go around the world.” But
boats 22 very expensive and Mike did not have much money.
But last summer Mike found a swimming club near_ house. The lessons did not cost
very much, and Mike began going to the club at every end of the week and having lessons. Now
he is a good swimmer.
Last week a little boy said to him, “you’re very good swimmer. How do you learn to swim
24__?” “I’m not good at all.” Mike said and he smiled. “I’m in the water and I say to myself,
there are dangerous fishes in this area! Then I’m very 25 , and I swim quickly.”

Passage 18
If you were to begin a new job tomorrow， you would bring with you some basic strengths and
weaknesses 。 Success or 21_ in your work would depend ， to a great extent,
22 your ability to user your strengths and weaknesses to the best advantage. Of the
utmost importance is your attitude. A person 23 begins a job convinced that he isn't going
 to like it or is 6 that he is going to ail is exhibiting a weakness which can only hinder his
success.On the other hand， a person who is secure in his belief that he is probably as capable
24_ doing the work as anyone else and who is willing to make a cheerful attempt at it
possesses a certain strength of purpose。The chances are that he will do well.
Having the most important skills for a particular job is strength。 25 those skills is
obviously a weakness。A bookkeeper who can't add or a carpenter who can't cut a straight line
with a saw are hopeless cases。
如果你明天将开始一份新的工作，你本身肯定有一些优势和劣势。在你的工作中，成功或
者失败在很大程度上取决于你是否能扬长避短。最重要的是你的态度。如果一个人开始从
事一份工作，相信自己不会喜欢它，确信将因此饱受痛苦，那么他的缺点就暴露出来了，
这只会阻碍他成功。另一方面，一个人如果确信自己能像其它人一样确信自己能够胜任这
份工作，并有很强的目的性愿意去尝试，那么他就又可能做的很好。
具有某一工作的必要技能是一个优势，缺乏这种技巧显然就是一种劣势。若薄记员不懂加

Last night, a fire broke out in Ann’s house in Manchester.

Ann’s parents were out of town for the weekend when something wrong in the room caused

was barking loudly in the back garden. Ann smelled something burning. She 22 and at once
ran through the smoke filled house to wake her old brother, Frank.
When Frank would not wake up, Ann got some help from the dog. Frank’s unconscious body
was far too 23 for the little girl to move alone, but the clever girl brought the dog inside and

Passage 22

Did you sleep well last night? Maybe many people will answer: No. In fact, in the world about
one in three people do not have good sleep. __21 _ you say you do not have good sleep, it means
waking early and not getting back to sleep, often interrupted short period of sleep, or hours of
wakefulness. You __22 _ get tired, worried, and anxious. Your memory and ability to remember
things will be affected.
Then what should you do when you have the trouble? Do not worry about it too much. First,
let's see whether you can sleep yourself. The ways are as follows:
First, __23_that your bedroom isn't too cold or too hot. Keep it dark and quiet.
Second, check your lifestyle:
Do not drink tea, coffee, cola or chocolate four hours before going to bed . Drink less liquid so
that you can have no or fewer visits to the toilet.
Set your body clock well by getting up and going to bed at the fixed time every day. You
__24__ take any daytime naps.
Develop a relaxing bedtime habit. Read or listen to music, then take a warm bath. If you really
can not sleep, try some bread, rice or milk. They will help you fall asleep.
Go for a daily walk. Natural light helps you to put your body clock into correct habit, __25__do
exercise outdoors if you can.
Forget the worries of the day. Write down any worries, thoughts or questions before you go to bed.
With these written down, you will have less to think about and your sleep will become easier.
你昨晚睡得好吗？也许很多人会回答：事实上，世界上大约有三分之一的人睡不好。如
果你说你睡不好，这意味着早醒后无法再入睡，睡觉的时间断断续续，或几个小时的醒着。
你可能会很累，担心，焦虑。你的记忆和记忆的东西的能力会被影响。
然后你应该做什么当你有麻烦吗？不要太担心。首先，让我们看看你是否可以自己入睡。
方法如下：
首先，确保你的床不是太冷或太热的。保持黑暗和安静。
第二，检查你的生活方式：
不要喝浓茶，咖啡，可乐或巧克力，睡前四小时。少摄入液体，这样可以没有或少去厕所。
调整你的生物钟睡觉和起床每天在固定的时间。你最好采取任何白天小睡。
养成睡前放松的习惯。阅读或者听音乐，然后洗个热水澡。如果你真的不能入睡，吃点面
包，米饭或喝点牛奶。他们会帮助你入睡。
每天散步。自然光有助于你纠正你的生物钟，所以如果你可以做户外运动。
 忘掉一天的烦恼。写下所有的担忧，在你睡觉之前的想法或问题。把这些写下
来，你就会有更少的考虑和你的睡眠会变得更加容易。

Passage 23

More and more teachers and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which came from
the printed papers sold on streets.
These printed things look like newspaper but have hardly anything to do with them. You can only
find reading materials badly __21_ there－some are too strange for anyone to believe, __22_ _are
frightening stories of something even worse. However, many of the young students are getting
absorbed in such poisonous reading, which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and
bring them nightmares and immoral ideas in return. Homework is left undone, daily games lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers,
__23_they are, we never know, are making their silent money. The sheep skinned wolf's stories seem
to have been forgotten once again.
Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other
for more strict control of the young readers. Yet unfortunately, __24 _you want to forbid it, the more
they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even find several children share one patched
paper, which has traveled from one hand to another driven by the curious nature.
It really does harm to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The __25_
teachers and parents need more powerful support. Meanwhile, the young readers need more
interesting books to help them get rid of these ugly papers.
越来越多的老师和家长已经注意到了另一种污染，来自街道上卖的印刷刊物。
这些印刷品看起来像报纸，但几乎与他们无关。你只能找到做得很差的阅读材料，有些
太奇怪的让人难以置信，有些是更糟糕的恐怖故事。然而，许多学生却迷上了这种有毒的阅
读，他们应该用这些钱去买他们的早餐，这些印刷刊物给他们带来的回报恶梦和不健康的思
想。让他们家庭作业不做，日常锻炼丧失。
这些小贩在街头叫卖他们的刊物卖的很好。作家，出版商和印刷者，不管他们是谁，我
们都不知道，正在赚他们安静的钱。披着羊皮的狼的故事似乎又一次被遗忘了。
为什么不禁止这种事情在学校？是的，老师和家长都要求对方更多的年轻读者严格控制。
然而不幸的是，你越想禁止，他们就越想看一看。有时你甚至发现好几个孩子争着看这些刊
物，由于好奇心，从一个人转到另一个人。
它确实对我们的社会危害。它已经形成了一种道德污染。教师和家长的担心需要更有力
的支持。与此同时，年轻的读者需要更多有趣的书来帮助他们摆脱这些丑陋的文章。

 Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a confusing and
frustrating experience. The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps __21__ the talk with slides,

assignment. The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and wonders
what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture with notes which do not catch the main points

guides which __23_ _ learners to practice these skills independently. In all cases it is important

skills required in college study. One way of __25__ these difficulties is to attend the language and

strategy is to find a study partner with whom it is possible to identify difficulties, exchange ideas and
provide support.
