Part 4 Skimming and Scanning (True/False)

(每小题:2 分)

Directions: Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limit: 4 minutes and 57 seconds

As my train wasn't due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time. I made my way to the luggage (行李) office to collect the suitcase (小型旅行箱). I took out my wallet to find the receipt (收据) for my case, but the receipt was nowhere to be found. When my turn came, I explained this situation to the assistant. The man looked at me suspiciously (怀疑地) and asked me to describe the case. I told him that it was an old, brown object no different from the many cases I could see on the shelves. The assistant then gave me a form and told me to make a list of the chief contents of the case. If the list was correct, he said, I could take the case away. I tried to remember all the articles I had hurriedly packed, and I wrote them down.

After I had done this, I went to look among shelves. There were hundreds of cases there and, for one terrible moment, it occurred to me that if someone had picked up the receipt, he could have easily claimed (认领) the case already. This did not happen fortunately, for after a time I found the case lying on its side high up in a corner. After examining the articles inside, the assistant was soon satisfied that it was mine and told me I could take the case away. Again I took out my wallet, this time to pay. I pulled out a ten-shilling note and the \"lost\" receipt came out with it. I couldn't help blushing (脸红)

Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题:2 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Friends play an important part in our lives. And while we may get along well with a number of people, we can only be friends with very few. The average student, for example, has about 6 friends.

1515

路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索 -

Most people spend time with others they like, but still the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get along with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Many friends avoid argument. It is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs. They have attitudes and interests in common that they often talk about and they might think of

themselves being \"on the same wavelength\". It generally takes time to reach this point however. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another for favors and to keep promises. Also, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class, or race. 1.

What is True according to the first paragraph? A. A person can only have a few real friends.

B. We should put things such as age, race, economic

conditions, social positions, and intelligence in the first place when making friends.

C. People whom we can get along well with are our friends.

D. A student has six friends at most.

2. In Paragraph 3, \"being on the same wavelength\" means ______.

A. talking as fast as others

B. having the same topic as others

C. having attitudes and interests in common

1616

路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索 -

D. having the same experiences and emotions

3. The word \" intimately\" in Paragraph 3 perhaps means______. A. far away

B. closely

C. well

D. in distance

4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Even friends may have difference of opinion.

B. Friends never argue with each other.

C. It takes time to become good friends.

D. Shared experiences can make for a strong friendship.

5. To strengthen friendly relationships, people______. A. should have the same age, class, and race

B. should get rid of the annoying habits

C. should support and understand each other

D. should hold friendship ceremonies
