| 第1、2、3题：As more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably enjoy the experience. If you will be eating a good meal alone, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion(消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate(提前做准备)your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding(折叠)case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy(极其方便)for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip! 73. Who is the author's intended audience? A、Working women who have no time for cooking. B、Husbands and children of working women. C、Working women who must travel on their own. D、Hotel personnel who must attend to working women. 74. Why is lightweight luggage important for the travelling businesswoman? A、It provides space for dirty clothes. B、It is easy to move. C、It can double as a briefcase. D、It is usually big enough to carry all business documents. 75. Where would this passage most likely appear? A、In a magazine specially for women. B、In a restaurant and hotel guide. C、In a news magazine. D、In a journal for topranking businessmen and women. |

| 第7、8、9、10题：Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields(盾)toward the sun. The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the messages. Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance. In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles. In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms. Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds. 65. According to this passage, the Roman way of communication depended very much upon . A、fine weather B、high tower C、the spelling system D、arm movements 66. Which of the following statements is true? A、Neither the Greek soldiers nor their enemy could understand the message. B、African soldiers shouted from tower to tower to pass message. C、Telephone was invented by a French engineer. D、Only by using telephone could people send speech sounds quickly. 67. The African way of communication sent messages. A、in a special way B、over a very short distance C、by a musical instrument D、at a rather slow speed 68. The way of communication made use of visible signs. A、French B、Roman C、African D、American |

| 第11、12、13、14、15题：A Stage plays, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it won’t work. A film made in this way will leave the audience cold. And even worse you’ll b3e wasting a powerful tool --- the camera. A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed so the audience can see what’s going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands. The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 36. The main idea of the text is that ________ . A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of art B. it is always disappointing to turn play into films C. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage plays D. the camera has made film making easy and possible 37. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage ? A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre. B. The audience cannot see what is going on on the stage. C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time. D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of. 38. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool ? A. It can move easily. B. It can make small things look larger. C. It can show things in the future. D. It can give us a scene of realism. 39. In what way are plays different from film ? A. Films often use real scenery while plays don’t. B. Films can show the past while plays can’t. C. Films change scenes while plays don’t. D. Film audience can move while play audience can’t. 40.

Thousands rushed to get their reward with their bottle caps worth a million pesos (about US $ 40,000) each. But Pepsi wouldn't pay. The company said there was a mistake.
