Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Misjudging someone’s use of silence can take place in many contexts and on many levels. Take pausing for example. One’s conversational style may be marked by frequent pausing, thus giving room (or time) for the discourse partner to jump into the conversation by taking his or her next turn. Some speakers, however, may think that the pauses others leave for them are not long enough to claim the floor(发言权) without being rude, while it may be the feeling of the other party that longer pauses would create awkward silences. Such differences in the perception and valuation of pauses may lead to conflict. The person who does not tolerate long pauses may wonder why the other does not want to talk, whereas the person who needs longer pauses to take a turn may think of his or her partner as intolerably talkative. 21. What is the passage mainly about? A） Different conversational style. B) Silence. C) Pauses. D) Misjudging someone’s use of silence. 22. “Jump into the conversation” in the fifth line means ____. A） participate in the conversation B) become involved in the conversation C) disturb the conversation D) interrupt the speaker by taking one’s turn unexpectedly 23. What can we conclude from the passage? A） A talkative person may not want the other to stop. B) Some speakers may think the pauses others leave for them are too short. C) A pause may be interpreted in different ways. D) We should tolerate long pauses. 24. Conflicts may be aroused except____. A） when the person needs longer pauses while the other needs short pauses B) when the person’s conversational style is marked by frequent pausing C) when the person thinks pauses are too short while the other thinks they may create awkward silences D) when the person wonders why the other stops while the other thinks why his or her partner is so talkative 25. What is the author’s attitude towards pauses in conversations? A） Aggressive. B) Neutral. C) Critical. D) Positive. Passage Two Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 26. Normally a student would at least attend ____ classes each week. A） 36 B) 12 C) 20 D) 15 27. According to the first paragraph,an American student is allowed ____. A） to live in a different university B) to take a particular course in a different university C) to live at home and drive to classes D) to get two degrees from two different universities 28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ____.A） their academic performance will affect their future careers B) they are heavily involved in student affairs C) they have to run for positions of authority D) they have to attend a lot of classes 29. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ____. A） they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university C) such positions help them get better jobs D) such positions are usually well paid 30. The student organizations seem to be effective in ____. A） dealing with the academic affairs of the university B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations C) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court D) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities Passage Three The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry. England had been a major producer of wool for centuries. Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England. And cloth -making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing. With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased. But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time. The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth. The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves. The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once. A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers. Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule. It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread. Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England. By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production. 31. What was the most important export of England before the revolution? A） Wool cloth. B) Wool and woolen cloth. C) Spinning machines. D) Power-driven machines. 32.

D) By the end of the 18th century, power-driven spinning machines could produce two hundred threads simultaneously. 34. “simultaneously” in the last sentence means ____. A） at the same time B) together C) at a time D) altogether 35. This passage can best be titled ____. A） Process of the Industrial Revolution B) Beginning of the Industrial Revolution C) What led to the Industrial Revolution D) Effects of the Industrial Revolution Passage Four James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. His astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th Century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin. When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself Norwegian so that he could read Ibsen’s works in the original. When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life. 36. James Joyce was first of all a ____. A） revolutionary B) critic C) novelist D) exile 37.
