Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Karen Christiansen Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon,she and her future husband will be sending out invitations for their June wedding.Meanwhile,on the other side of the world,Wei Yashung is at the hairdressers in Shanghai,China.She knows she will have a long wait-maybe four hours.Its May 18th,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.Weddings are a special event in every culture.People begin new lives together and families are joined together. “Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions at weddings,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.As Kerry plans her wedding,her aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs,according to an old custom.They read the traditional poem, “Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue”Female friends and relatives gather around.preparing the bride for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures were designed to protect the couple from bad luck. “The wedding veil is a Greek custom,to hide the bride from evil1spirits,”says Maxine. “The Romans developed the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women dressed like the bride) to confuse the spirits.Also,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare away the evil spirits.”In China,thousands of couples that have chosen May 18th for their wedding day. “In the past,Chinese couples consulted a special book to find lucky and unlucky days for getting married ” explains Maxine. “But in modern times,a new tradition is being formed.” The eighteenth day of the fifth month,five-one-eight or “ wu yao ba ” as it is called in China,sounds very close to “ wo yao fa ” or “I will get rich.” This is considered a omen for any couples getting married on this day.Some people dont think it is a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “Its silly and superstitious,” a newspaper reporter wrote.Hairdressers,and owners of flower stores,restaurants and car services say its the best day of the year.They can raise their prices for this one day and their services will still be fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called _A. comparison and contrastB. description of events in order of timeC. details leading to conclusionD. generalization followed by details2.

FuriousPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as its something. “Nice weather” or “How are you ?” will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is2dinnertime-its the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesnt like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,hes getting the attention he desires;even if its not the best sort of attention,its better than nothing.Its fascinating if you are able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnnys brother who is eating his food-after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,its amazing how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.Ive watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,saying “Mummy,arent I doing good dinner eating ? ”-all without having one word a spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesnt disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are “ real attention seekers ” in a loud and extravert ( 外向的) way,and there are the shy,retiring types who dont want attention in such a “ sociable ” way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parents attention ?

A.Childrens upbringing needs parents constant care.B.Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable. C.Both children and adults need to be seen as worthwhile.
