9、me 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 1 A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh
10、birthday that her father thought his daughter should give one or two of her new books to a little neighbor boy named Robert. Now,taking books,or anything else,from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby,but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. “After all
11、,that leaves you with nine,” said the father,who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist and couldnt shut his big stupid mouth on the subject. A few weeks later,the father went to his library to look up “father” in the Oxford English Dictionary to feast his eyes on the praise of father
12、hood through the centuries,but he couldnt find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing,too. A-B,L-M,V-Z. He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes. “A man came to the door this morning,” said his little daughter,“and he didnt
13、know how to get from here to Torrington,or from Torrington to Winsted,and he was a nice man,much nicer than Robert,and so I gave him four of your books. After all,there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary,and that leaves you with nine.” 21. How does the writer feel about taking pic
14、ture books from a little girl?A. This sort of thing is quite common. B. It makes no difference to a child. C. Its nothing to be surprised at . D. It may hurt the girls feelings. 22.

18、untrue?Or is it something more than that?For example,suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you,you say:I wish I could help you but Im short of money myself. In fact,you are not short of money,but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by
19、 reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men,particularly when telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However,this is only one side
20、of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies,such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at:the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or ga
21、in in some way. Research has also been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number of small,apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time,they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are
22、 saying I wish I were somewhere else now. 26. This passage tells us that _.

26、e can know they are lying C. certain emotions are proof of lying D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Passage 3 Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet. Internationally famous child doctor Robert C
27、oles is the worlds top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject,“The Privileged Ones”,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says t
28、he 33-year-old doctor,“such as better health,education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money cant buy love.” It can buy a lot of other things,however,and thats where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become conf
29、used. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country,which causes feelings of restlessness. “But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles,“and they are mor
30、e self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However they will have a sense of isolation”,warns Dr Coles,“and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world be
31、cause they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Todays wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the fi
32、rst thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money. 31. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _. A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B. rich children live a life of separation from the world C. r
33、ich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D. the quality of rich childrens family life may not be high 32. In the doctors view,_. A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C. rich children usually have little confiden
34、ce in themselves D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Rich children usually lead a life of happiness. B. Rich children have earned what they have. C. Rich children tend to feel isolated. D. Ric
35、h children are hardly given too many material things. 34. According to the author of the passage,_. A. life is really a long journey of joy for rich children B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C. it is most important for wealth parents to ma
36、ke sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D. today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring 35. It seems that the author of the passage _ what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”. A. knows little about B. is doubtful about C. is oppos
37、ed to D. agrees with Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values this cant be repeated too often are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort,cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social ser
38、vices from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms,and an old person lying alone on bed,taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be ta
39、ken better care of?Some social workers,the ones who clear up the worms,think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It n
40、eeds more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences,however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body?Is it morally right to try
41、to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active,knowing that it is designed to die?You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide,because so long as they can see the technical opportunities,they will feel bound to give them a
42、try,on the principle that while theres life,theres hope. When you talk to the old people,however,you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 36.
