For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your ans
18、wer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or, in winter, skating or skiing (滑雪). It may be a game of some kind - football, hockey (曲棍球), golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion (激情) for
19、climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give
20、 their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games, as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractiv
21、e to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a team game. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no matches between teams
22、of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high ment
23、al and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in t
24、he Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.36. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with _.A. the kind of activityB. the kind of rulesC. the kind of uniformD. the ki
25、nd of participants (参与者)37. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _.A. it is an Olympic eventB. teams compete against each otherC. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingD. there are 5 climbers in each team38. Mountaineers compete against _.A. natureB. each otherC. other teamsD.
26、 international standards39. The age during which people can enjoy mountaineering _.A. is very restrictedB. is from 20 to 30C. is governed by lawD. is limited only by individual ability and desire40. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Mountaineering is Different from Golf and FootballB. Mount
27、aineering is More Attractive Than Other SportsC. MountaineeringD. Mountain ClimbersPassage 2Conflict, like stress, is a natural phenomenon when people interact. Conflict in some form is always present; however, it is not always negative. Conflict can be positive, for example, when you and your colle
28、agues try to select the best possible solution to a problem. However, much more attention is given to the negative aspects of conflict. Conflict occurs when we fear the unknown. This can be very simple: someone says something in a tone of voice different from our expectations, which raises questions
29、 in our mind as to what the real meaning might be. Of course conflict can, and does, occur in much more serious circumstances. Your ability to detect and understand conflict will place you in a better position to control the situation. Conflict is often categorized in three stages. Stage one is the
30、day-to-day irritations (恼人的事) that are easy to deal with. Stage one conflict is real but low in intensity. The intensity can increase if irritations increase and no solutions are found. Stage two is reached when the two sides become competitive. Each person protects his self-interest and fears loss
31、of face. Stage three is reached when the objective changes from wanting to win toward wanting to hurt the other side. This stage can be explosive because other people are drawn into the conflict and sides are chosen. Problem solving is no longer a realistic method of resolution. By understanding the
32、 three stages of conflict, it will be easier for you to handle the day-to-day situations to which you are exposed. You will also be able to detect potential conflict between others in which you do not want to get involved.41. Conflict is _.A. paid attention to because it is negativeB. only positive
33、when occurring between colleaguesC. universally present in human interactionsD. similar to stress in every aspect42. Stage two conflict is different from stage one conflict in that _.A. it is caused by daily disputesB. it is low in intensityC. it takes a form of competitionD. it always leads to loss
34、 of face43. The third stage can be explosive because _.A. quarreling becomes inevitableB. it is no longer a conflict between two individualsC. people begin to hate each otherD. no solution is possible44. The ability to identify conflict _.A. can help you make good use of conflictB. enables you to wi
35、n every competitionC. can prevent conflict from occurringD. can help you deal with the situation better45. The conflict between a student and his roommate caused by different living habits is an instance of _.A. stage one conflictB. stage two conflictC. stage three conflictD. none of the abovePassag
36、e 3All of us communicate with one another nonverbally (不使用语言地), as well as with words. Most of the time were not aware that were doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone elses eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent
37、 years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one anothers eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only abo
38、ut a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each others eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to
39、spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs (磨擦) his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older mans eyes a little lo
40、nger than is usual, it can be a sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professors authority (权威); it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all d
41、one with words.46. The main idea of this article is that _.A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language47. What do resea
42、rchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication through body movement.48.
43、The word “intimate” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important49. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable, if you _.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time50. The sen
44、tence “The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means _.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that on
45、e gesture can not be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gesturePassage 4How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happ
46、iest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child - things that have lost their inte
