He doesn’t like music. Nor/Neither do I. 他不喜欢音乐，我也不喜欢。
（十二）从句
英语中从句包括：状语从句、定语从句、名词性从句（包括主语从句、表语从句和宾语从句）。 [复习要点]

The stranger looked at the tall clumsy（愚笨的）lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonged to him. Lincoln was a bit puzzled. He had never seen the man before. He didn’t see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pencil knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pencil knife. He had been told to keep it until he was able to find a man uglier than himself.

Passage 3
One answer to the question of land shortage（短缺）was suggested by a committee some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.
This suggestion was to shape the city like a harbour. The outer wall of the harbour would stand on steel columns resting on the seabed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow（浅的）. The flats would all face inwards, and would be made of concrete and glass. The glass would be specially made and coloured to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this water the lake.
The water inside this man-made harbour would be calm. And on the water would be floating lands carrying more buildings, a hospital, two theatres, a museum, and an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the island would be a special plant, to take the salt out of seawater and turn it into fresh water.
People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of petrol. There would be platforms outside the main wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.
51. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The city was to be designed together with a harbour.
B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass. C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.
D. The people would live in tall buildings surrounded by a wall. 52. Fresh water would be supplied to the city by ________.
A. getting it from the islands nearby B. dealing with the seawater in a special way C. getting it from the mainland
D. building a small lake of fresh water inside the city
53. There would be no air pollution to this city because ________.
A. there was no plant in the city B. the city was protected by a glass roof C. vehicles there were driven by electricity D. there was a special machine to treat the air
54. The suggestion made by the committee is to solve the problem of ________.
A. land shortage B. pollution C. transportation D. education 55. Which would be the best title for the passage?

IV. Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
One of the most important tasks of remembering what you read is choosing the right ideas to remember. It’s easy to say this, but many readers do not realize that they must learn to choose what is worth remembering.
Just as a traveler in a desert searches for landmarks, you must learn to find‘landmarks’to guide you through your reading. These landmarks are the main ideas, the important statements around which the writer builds his article.
To find main ideas easily, you should practise the skill of looking for the most important statement in each paragraph. If this statement were taken away, the paragraph would have no meaning. But if the rest of the paragraph were taken away, the statement would still make the writer’s message clear.
By collecting the main ideas of the paragraphs you read, you will find you have a series of statements that, put together, make up the main ideas the writer wanted you to discover.
41. This passage tells us________.
A. how to read B. how to remember C. how to find the main ideas to remember D. the importance of reading
42. If you travel in a desert, and don’t want to lose your way, you should follow the ________.

A. the statements in his article B. the main ideas C. the new words D. the word phrases
Passage 2
In the U.S., people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. This means a hostess may not seat a small group until a small table is available, even if a large one is. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a“doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking food for yourself.
Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have“Sunday dinner”.This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. There the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
46. Which of the following statements is true?
A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know. B. Hostess always seat a small group at a large table

Passage 1
Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in space. Years ago they knew a lot about the moon. They knew how far away it is from the earth. But they wanted to know more about it. They thought and thought. At last they found the only way to know more was to send men to the moon.
The moon is about 384 000 kilometres away from the earth. A plane can not fly to the moon because the air reaches only 240 kilometres high above the earth. Then there is no air. But something can fly even when there is no air. That is a rocket (火箭).
Rockets can fly out into space. Rockets with men in them have already reached the moon. Some rockets without men in them have flown to other parts, much farther away from the earth than the moon in the universe. One day, rockets may be able to go to any place.
41. Scientists knew ________ about the moon a long time ago.
A. nothing B. many things C. everything D. little 42. The moon is ________ away from the earth.

Passage 2
In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievements and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.
However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that
many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs.
Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market,” according to an officer of the university.
The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.
In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.
46. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?
A. It was a proof of their professional skills. B. It would guarantee their quick promotion. C. It built up their confidence in the job market. D. It would help them to start an academic career.
47. Ryan Steward has not got any job offer because ________.
A. there are too many graduates of his major B. he wants to find a job with very high salary C. he has not received a degree in the university D. the job market has changed greatly since 2002
48. According to the passage, ________ had the best job prospects in 2002.
A. computer science B. accounting C. teaching D. nursing 49. How did students make preparation for finding jobs?
A. They prepared all the time B. They worked during summer vacations C. They did short-time jobs. D. Both B and C 50. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. the value of a college degree has decreased now B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs C. a college degree can still lead to a good job D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs
Passage 3
In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has become very high. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction（建筑）has only begun.
What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered（过滤的）air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog（烟雾）problems in the world. Another advantage is that there won’t be traffic accidents as that on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience（方便）of moving from place to place. You’re usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant and barbershop.
51. It is very difficult to get from one place to another in Tokyo because ________.
A. the city is so large and so high B. there is no traffic
C. we don’t know the road D. the city is so large and the traffic is so heavy
52. All are the reasons for Tokyo to develop underground except ________.
A. the high buildings B. the high price of land
B. the advantages of underground D. you can spend the night underground
Passage 4
When you send a letter or a postcard, you have to put stamps on the envelope or on the card. When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?
In the early nineteenth century, people did not use stamps. They had to pay postage(邮费)when they received letters. Sometimes they didn’t want to receive a letter at all, but they had to pay money for it. They were unhappy about this. The postage was high at that time, because the post offices had to send many people to get the postage.
Rowland Hill was a schoolteacher in England. He was the first to think of using stamps in 1850s. He thought it would be much easier for people to use stamps. People could go to the post office to buy stamps and put them on envelopes before they sent the letters. The post office could just put seals(邮戳)on the stamps so that people could not use the stamps again. In this way, the post office did not need to send postmen to get postage. It only needed fewer postmen to send letters.
56. People began to use stamps ________.
A. at the beginning of the nineteenth century B. in the middle of the nineteenth century C. more than two hundred years ago D. when people first sent letters and postcards. 57. Before stamps were used, postage ________.
A. was paid by the letter-writers B. was paid by the letter-receivers C. was got by postmen D. both B and C 58. Rowland Hill ________.
A. invented the first stamp B. was a postman in England C. gave the idea of using stamps D. was the first man to use stamps 59. After stamps were used ________.
A. postmen needn’t get postage B. people needn’t pay postage C. the post office could get more postage D. people should pay more postage 60. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How did stamps begin to be used? B. Why were postmen sent to get postage?
C. When did people first begin to use stamps? D. Who was the first to think of using stamps?

Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Americans and Arabs are different in their space habits. Arabs prefer close contact. Dr. Hall has explained that the Arabs belong to a touch culture and in conversation, they always envelop the other person. They hold his hand, look into his eyes, and bathe him in their breath.
Dr. Hall’s interest in man’s use of space developed in the early nineteen fifties when he was Director of the Point Four training program at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of them had been highly uncomfortable because of culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock.
The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in a noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage（清教徒文化遗产）. Dr. Hall points out that we spend years teaching our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations where we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact is involved, tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.
41. When the Arabs talk to you, they _______.
A. try to be as close to you as possible B. keep a certain space from you C. hold you tightly
D. do not allow you to feel their breath
42. From the information in paragraph 3, it is obvious that ________.
A. the American way is the only right way to behave B. the puritan heritage stresses noncontact culture
C. American children are more polite than those in other countries D. American people usually cannot make themselves understood
43. When you line up to wait for your turn in the United States, you should _______ your front neighbour.
A. stick to B. lean on C. keep a certain distance from D. stay far away from 44. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. People form different cultures handle space in different ways.
B. Many of the Americans who had lived overseas were bothered by culture differences. C. Misunderstandings often develop between Americans and Arabs in social contacts. D. Dr. Hall is interested in culture differences, especially man’s use of space. 45. It is true that ________.
A. a noncontact culture is usually referred to as culture shock B. there is evidence that Americans belong to a touch culture C. there is evidence that Arabs share a noncontact culture D. our use of space is influenced by our cultures
Passage 2
Long, long ago there lived an old farmer in a small village. He lost his donkey and he wanted to go to town to buy another. Among the donkeys on sale he saw his own donkey.
“This donkey is mine”, he said to the man standing by the donkey. “Someone stole it from me three years ago.”
“How is that?” the man said. “It has been mine for three years.”
“Three years?” the farmer said, “Are you sure?” Then he quickly covered the eyes of the donkey with his hands and asked, “Which eye is it blind in?”
“The right eye,” said the man.
The farmer took away his right hand and people saw the donkey’s right eye was clear and shining. “I made a mistake,” said the man “I meant to say the left eye.”
“It is not blind in either eye,” said the farmer. Then he said to the people around, “It’s clear this man is a thief.”
The people caught the thief and took him to the policeman. The old farmer got his own donkey back.
46. _______ lost his own donkey. A. A worker B. A teacher C. A student D. An old farmer

Passage 3
It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
51. Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?
A. Women are born to be beauties. B. Women like to show off their beauty
C. Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up D. Women are proud of their beauty
52. According to the author, in order to stay young and attractive, women should _______.
A. follow the fashion B. dress up in beautiful clothes C. do more exercises D. enrich their mind 53. Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?
A. As a woman grows old, her beauty will gradually disappear.
B. However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty. C. Even a plainly dressed woman may have pure and real beauty. D. A woman with a young mind never feels old.
54. The world relative (line 1, paragraph 3) most probably means _______.
A. similar B. comparative C. related D. independent 55. The author believes that ________.
A. women should lay more emphasis on their own qualities B. beautiful clothes can make women more attractive C. women have to show their beauty through their looks D. women are more curious about new things than men
Passage 4
Early in the 18 century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal during his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouse-like head and jumped along on its large hind legs. To his great surprise, this unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal’s name was. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said “Kang-a-roo”, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal’s name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were eager to see the unusual animal “Kang-a-roo”, but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people. Before long they got to discover that the native guide who made the answer to Cook’s question really meant: “I don’t know what you are pointing at”. Funny enough, the name “Kangaroo” stuck and is still in use today.
56. Which sentence best expresses the main idea?
A. Captain Cook’s guide had a sense of humour.
B. Native Australians couldn’t speak English in Cook’s time. C. Some words have rather funny origins. D. Captain Cook was a lover of wild animals.
57. The main use for the animal’s flesh pocket is to ________.
A. keep for food B. carry its baby C. jump a long distance D. store food and water 58. When the native guide said “Kang-a-roo”, he really meant: ________.
A. Ah, it’s a special kind of animals B. I wonder what you have said

A. the native Australians and the European explorers were not friendly to each other B. A common language was needed by the Europeans to communicate with the native Australians
