| 第24、25题：In hopes of becoming millionaires, many Filipinos (菲律宾人) began drinking more Pepsi. They hoped to get a bottle cap with the winning number on it. In May 1992, the number was announced: 349. 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.

| 第33、34、35、36、37题：In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn't too diligent (勤奋) about that either. One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to 'put them up'. I couldn't put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members' store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God! 46. The furniture department was run by _____. A. the author's parents B. the author's relatives C. some member of a big family D. the local government 47. The shop in Cardiff ______.

A. the author was more of an observer than a real member of the store B. what the author had said was far from the truth C. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture dishonestly D. the writer destroyed a four-foot six - inch spring mattress 50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The author only stayed in the shop for a short time because he was not interested in business. B. The author felt light - hearted when he left the shop. C. The author was punished for stealing money from the customer. D. The author was asked to put up the carpets. |

| 第39、40、41、42题： In ancient(古代) time the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候选人）for a master's or doctor's degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools. The first types sometimes called an objective (客观性) test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly. The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper. For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge. For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material. 36. The passage is mainly about ________. A. examinations in the ancient times. Ｂ．modern examinations. Ｃ．how to do well in an examination. Ｄ．setting questions for an examination 37. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______. A. it is easy and quick to score. B. the teacher can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge in a short time. C. it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject. D. it contains element of luck. 38. Which of the following statements about the objective test is true? Ａ．Examinations in modern times are written, while in ancient times they are spoken. Ｂ．The objective test has advantages for testing a student's memory of facts and details. Ｃ．The objective test is the only way to test a student's memory of facts and details,. Ｄ．Each objective question has more than one correct answer. 39. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________. A. the other type of examination B. the advantages of the objective test C. how students guess the correct answer without really knowing the material D. examinations in the ancient times |

| 第43、44、45、46、47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. A suitable title for this text is _______. A. Stage Plays and Film B. The Powerful Camera C. Fewer Plays, More Films D. Less Waste, More Freedom |

| 第52、53、54、55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 |
