10、 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some 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 t
11、hrough the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a
12、 time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting
13、new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man start
14、s to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he u
15、sed to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _. A. life for a child is compa
16、ratively easy B. a child is always loved whatever he does C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_. A. will have little time playing?B. has to be successful in finding a job C. can still ask for help in time
17、 of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people. C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on
18、others.24. The main idea of the passage is that _. A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The
19、paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss _. A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up ones position in society C. joys and pains of old people D. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one a
20、nd to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling
21、in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How o
22、ften we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behav
23、e exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has re
24、vealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _. A. distorted B. normal C. similar to each other D. different from its own27. One who
25、 travels in a foreign country and learns its language will _. A. find out what its people are like B. argue in favor of this country and the language C. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is oft
26、en _. A. from second-hand information B. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitants C. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples _. A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travel B. do exist even thoug
27、h different nationalities behave exactly alike C. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull place D. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _. A. somewhat B. by whatever means C. anyhow D. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger wo
28、uld fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahyas cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him
29、over the mountains to China.Kissingers trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted t
30、he story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissin
31、ger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word Eureka which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived. “Whats the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because _. A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journey C. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not w
