| 第6题：Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in less than 10 words. Have you ever been asked to take a polygraph test for a job?A polygraph,also called a lie detector,is a device that is used to find out if someone is telling a lie.It is based on the belief that lying causes certain physical reactions.These reactions,which include a change in blood pressure and pulse rate,are measured by the polygraph. Lie detector tests are often used in court and in the workplace.However,a law th at went effect in December 1988 limits the ways that employers can use these tests.Employers can no longer use them to screen(审查) people who are applying for jobs.The only exception is for those who want government jobs as security guards or drug handlers.Also,managers can no longer ask workers to take such tests unless there is reasonable suspicion that the worker has stolen or damaged property.This will curb tests for suspected offenses,such as drug use or sexual harassm ent,and for workers who were merely in the area of a theft.Bosses who request lie detector tests will have to tell workers why they are suspected of an offense. Also,they may not ask questions that degrade workers,such as questions about their sex lives. In any case,according to the new law,the test is now voluntary:You can't be fired for refusing to take it.If you have been forced to take a polygraph test,or if you are not being given a promotion because you have refused to take the test, you can sue the company or file a complaint with the Department of Labor.The Department of Labor can fine employers up to $10,000. Questions: 71. What is the passage mainly about? 72. How does the polygraph work? 73. The law of December,1988 prohibits employers from examing people who apply for jobs except ____ 74. Nowadays the bosses can ask the workers to take the polygraph tests only under the condition that____ 75. Under the new law,if a boss forces his worker to take a polygraph test,w hat punishment will he get? |

| 第8、9、10、11、12题：The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman's life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods. This important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full- or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. 36. It's probably now that women __________. A. marry men younger than themselves B. do not do housework C. do not want to give birth to children D. provide the money to the family like her husband 37. For women at the twentieth, the amount of time spent caring for children ______. A. was shorter than in previous centuries B. was longer than in previous centuries C. was considered to be surprisingly long D. accounted for a great part of their lives 38. We are told that, in an average family about 1900 _______. A. many children died before they were five B. seven or eight children lived to be more than five C. the youngest child would be fifteen D. four of five children died when they were five 39． When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother ______. A. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one B. would not expect to work C. was very healthy and beautiful D. was considered to have a rest at home 40. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she _______. A. is younger when her children are still young B. does not like caring for children C. need not worry about food for her children D. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves |

| 第19、20、21、22、23题：By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can be happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no efforts, as there are of serious illness. 41. Adders are most likely to be found _______. A. in Scotland and nowhere else B. in wider parts of Britain C. in shady fields in England D. on uncultivated land throughout Britain 42. We are told that British snakes are ______. A. afraid of human beings B. poisonous including the adder c. dangerous except the adder D. friendly towards human beings 43. Which of the followings statements is Not true? A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain. B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder. C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are. D. People's attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary. 44. When will the adder not attack you? A. when you try to catch it B. when you are some distance away from it. C. when you happen to step on it. D. when you try to pick 45. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually _______. A. attack you immediately B. disappear very quickly C. want to frighten you D. move out of the way |

| 第27、28、29、30、31题：Culture is the sum total of all the tradition, customs, beliefs, and ways to life of a given group of human being. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologists, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional ;linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisted largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact establish by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers the description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our western language not in their sound patterns or grammatical structure, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, However, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguished merely between two degrees of remoteness ("this" and "that"); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or but of sight, or in the past, or in the future. This study of language, in turn casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 46. The language of uncivilized groups as compared to western language are limited in _______. A. vocabularies B. grammatical structures C. sound patterns D. both A and B 47. The statement that "every group has a culture" grows out of the author's ______. A. definition of culture B. philosophy C. feeling about human beings D. bias in regard to civilized human 48. According to the author, anthropologists would have all culture viewed _____. A. comparatively B. independently C. intrinsically D. hierarchically 49. According to the author, language whether "civilized or not" have ____. A. the potential for expanding vocabulary b. the potential for increasing sound patterns C. the same way to transfer ideas D. the same grammatical structures 50. Implied but not stated: ______. A. the study of language is the same as the study of anthropology B. the study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy cultures C. the study of languages discredited the anthropological studies D. the study of language casts a new light upon the claims of anthropologists |
