III. 阅读短文，选择最佳选项。（共10小题，计20分） (A)

The scheduling of appointments is very important in western countries. If you want to visit somebody or invite somebody to do something, the best way is to make an appointment with him in advance, because most westerners often keep a strict personal schedule. They don't welcome unexpected visitors. Usually for a westerner three schedules are kept: one for daily events, one for weekly planning, and one for long term planning. You have to show respect for their cultural custom. Often appointments are made on the phone by talking with him directly or with his secretary who can help him to arrange the appointments. Remember to tell him or her directly why you want to meet him.

Before making an appointment, you must know the full name and title of the person you want to meet. If necessary, you can check with his secretary. All the appointments should be double-checked for accuracy. The time, address, names of involved parties, and spelling and pronunciation of the names should be verified.

Don't be late for the appointments. You have to get to the meeting place on time. If something urgent happens which prevents you from keeping the appointment, you can change or cancel the appointment immediately. It is very impolite for you to fail an appointment. 31. If you want to meet an American friend, you should____________. A. buy some flowers B. make the time and tell him C. ask him whether he wants to see him

D. make an appointment with him in advance 32. Why do you have to do so? ____________

A. Because this is a custom and no one wants to change it.

B. Because most westerners often keep a strict personal schedule. C. Because it's very important for everyone.

D. Because if you don't do this, he will not meet you. 33. What kind of schedules do they have? _______________

A. Daily events. B. Weekly planning. C. Long term planning. D. All of A,B and C. 34. How do you make an appointment? _______________

A. You should know exactly all the necessary information you should know first, then you can make an appointment with him or his secretary.

B. You should make an appointment with his secretary and then ask what his full name and title is.

C. Before you ask his name or his title, you should double-check it and then make an appointment with him on the phone.

D. Check his schedule and then make your own schedule , tell him when you will have time and let him know when you will see him.

35. If you want to change an appointment, you should_____________.

A. go to the meeting place and tell him immediately B. let him know at once C. finish your own things first, then run to the meeting place D. ask somebody else to go to the meeting place instead (B)

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being

corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle---compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself.

We do it all for his act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. 36. When children learn, we should__________________.

A. tell him how to do B. correct them as soon as they make mistakes C. not care about them D. ask them to tell the right answers at once

37. If we don't correct the children when they have made some mistakes in learning, the children ______________.

A. will never know the right things B. will ask the other children to help them C. will correct them themselves D. will stop talking

38. Children make necessary changes of their own performances to ___________. A. get the prizes from the teachers B. have fun

C. be the same with others D. find out their mistakes

39. Children ___________ notice a mistake or correct it themselves if the teachers don't tell them. A. will B. won't C. don't want to D. have to 40. The teacher's work should be______________.

A. to point out the mistakes B. to tell the students the answers

C. to correct the students' papers D. to help students learn by themselves

IV. 从所给选项中选择恰当的句子完成短文． (共５小题，记１０分) A. The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. B. Will the fresh water be enough in the future?

C. If we take these steps, we'll be in no danger of drying up. D. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water.

E. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. F. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.

41________________________. This may seem strange to you, since 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. 42________________________. Man can only drink and use the other 3%--- the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. 43________________________.

However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly---almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage later on.

44____________________. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system. From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.

But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. 45______________________.

Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to 46 l__________ a new language. That is, they believe that 47c_____________ learn more easily than the grown-ups. Thus, at some points in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13 , we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this the fact?

Is it 48 t________ that children learn a foreign language more easily than the grown-ups? One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, showed that the 49 t_____________ learn more in less time than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed the ability to learn increased as the age increased. 50 T___________ are several possible explanations for these findings. 51 F__________ one thing, grown-ups know more about the world and therefore are 52 a__________ to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, grown-ups can use logical thinking to help themselves in the language learning. 53 F__________, grown-ups have more self-discipline than children.

All in all, it 54 s___________ that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a 55 f__________, but a myth.

56.In the near future, people in some parts of the world will watch a new kind of television. It is called the high definition television (高清晰度电视机) or the HD-TV. 57.The main difference between an HD-TV and a normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed. This is because the HD-TV has many more points and lines that make a television image. Every color television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points. They all come together as an image in the eye of the person watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. 58.There are more than five hundred lines in normal television. The HD-TV has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.

The HD-TV also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a CD.59. All these improvements make an HD-TV very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than twenty dollars. A major problem with the HD-TV is its broadcast signal(传播信号). 60.The signal is bigger than normal because it carries more electronic information.

Mr Clarke works in New York and last week he brought his family to China. They visited many places of interest and had a good time here. Before they left for Shanghai, the Clarkes

climbed up the Great Wall. It was the greatest project about two thousand years ago. They took a lot of photos there and then they had picnic under a big tree.

One day he fell down from it when he was cleaning the window. But he didn't hurt himself.\" \"It was a miracle!\" called out his children. \"Why?\" \"Because he lived on the first floor!\"
