A B C and D You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet
Passage One
A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories The older he grewthe fonder he became
of them But he always regretted they had to have an end So he decided to give half his
wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end
Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life The risk was so great that nobody came
to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year Then one day a tall handsome young
man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever The prince agreed but
warned him what would happen if he failed The risk is worth the head of your fair
daughter the young man replied poetically（体） He then began this wellknown
story
Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine So he ordered his men
to build an enormous storehouse which he filled with corn Then when it was up made
waterproof and made fireproof the King felt happy But one day he noticed a small hole in
the roof and as he looked at it a locust came out with a grain of corn A minute later another
locust came out with another grain of corn Then a third locust with another grain of corn
Then a fourth locust flying at great speed pushed through the hole and came out with two
grains of corn Then a fifth locust came and …
Stop shouted the Prince I can’t answered the young man I must go on until I tell

Passage Two
Packaging is an important form of advertising A package can sometimes motivate
someone to buy a product For example a small child might ask for a breakfast food that
comes in a box with a picture of a TV character The child is more interested in the picture
than in the breakfast food Pictures for children to color or cut out games printed on a
package or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask
their parents for them
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing Food products sold
in reusable containers are examples of this Although a similar product in a plain container
might cost less people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish because
they believe the container is free However the cost of the container is added to the cost of
the product
The size of a package also motivates a buyer Maybe the package has Economy Size
printed on it This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money But
that is not always true To find out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price
of the basic unit
The information on the package should provide some answers But the important thing
for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement The words and
pictures do not tell the whole story Only the product inside can do that
46 Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the
passage
A Children are interested in some packages of products
B Package is one of the important ways of advertising
C People prefer to buy the products in plain containers
D The size of a package usually motivates a buyer
47 The phrase a buyer will get something for nothing ( Line 1 Para 2 ) probably
means _________
A a buyer will get something free of charge
B a buyer will get something useless
C a buyer will get something useful
D nothing is worth buying
48 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages
B Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package
than the product itself
C A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a
plain container
D Economy Sizedoesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product
for the least money
49 What does the word them ( Line 6 Para 1 ) refer to _________
A Small gifts B Pictures C Games D Products
50 What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A Package is just an advertisement
B Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much
C The package has nothing to do at all with the product
D Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package
Passage Three
For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s
greatest poet and greatest dramatist Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him that
of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge however slight of the
work our greatest writer All of us use words phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s
writings that have become part of the common property of Englishspeaking people Most of
the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use rather like the old lady
who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that it was full of
wellknown proverbs and quotations
Shakespeare more perhaps than any other writer made full use of the great resources
of the English language Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal
employment of English Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand There is
probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English
language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it Such a study is
well worth the effort (it is not of course recommended to beginners) even though some
aspects of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed since
Shakespeare’s day
51 English people_________
A have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist
B never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatists

A more or less about Shakespeare
B Shakespeare but only slightly
C all the Shakespeare’s writings
D only the name of greatest English writer
53 Which of the following is TRUE

B Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to
speak English

use
D All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings
54 HAMLET is _________
A a play written by Shakespeare
B a play recommended by Shakespeare
C a play appreciated by Shakespeare
D a play people have been complaining about
55 It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English

B by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language
C English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s days
D English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days
Passage Four

You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is and
what items are and are not taxable Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary
considerably from place from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others
The New York City sales tax for examples is currently 8 so if you buy a pair of 40
shoes you will actually have to pay 4320 This makes paying and getting correct change
much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive)
Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping The Chinese
people have happily put an end to tipping but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with
this indignity Waiters and waitresses cab drivers hotel bellboys barbers and hairdressers
and all sorts of other people must be tipped Their employers give them low wages because
it is expected that you the customer will make up the difference If you don't the service
person can't earn a living Tipping also varies from place to place generally in the area of
15 of your bill (before taxes) but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and
how much
There is another kind of tipping as well You are generally expected to give something
(either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time You should discuss this
also with neighbors and friends
56 The main idea of this passage is _________
A shopping and tipping B sales and shopping
C sales taxes and tipping D sales taxes and people
57 According to the passage if you buy a pair of 50 shoes in the New York City you
pay extra _________as sales tax
A 45 B 4 C 5 D 55
58 Usually cab drivers _________
A get high wages from the employer

△Wales 威尔士（英） D get prize from the employer
59 According to the passage which of the following statements is true
A The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries
B The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country
C Barbers hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are
not tipped

questions or incomplete statements For each of them there are 4 choices marked
A B C and D You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet
Passage One
A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories The older he grewthe fonder he became
of them But he always regretted they had to have an end So he decided to give half his
wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end
Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life The risk was so great that nobody came
to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year Then one day a tall handsome young
man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever The prince agreed but
warned him what would happen if he failed The risk is worth the head of your fair
daughter the young man replied poetically（体） He then began this wellknown
story
Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine So he ordered his men
to build an enormous storehouse which he filled with corn Then when it was up made
waterproof and made fireproof the King felt happy But one day he noticed a small hole in
the roof and as he looked at it a locust came out with a grain of corn A minute later another
locust came out with another grain of corn Then a third locust with another grain of corn
Then a fourth locust flying at great speed pushed through the hole and came out with two
grains of corn Then a fifth locust came and …

Passage Two
Packaging is an important form of advertising A package can sometimes motivate
someone to buy a product For example a small child might ask for a breakfast food that
comes in a box with a picture of a TV character The child is more interested in the picture
than in the breakfast food Pictures for children to color or cut out games printed on a
package or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask
their parents for them
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing Food products sold
in reusable containers are examples of this Although a similar product in a plain container
might cost less people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish because
they believe the container is free However the cost of the container is added to the cost of
the product
The size of a package also motivates a buyer Maybe the package has Economy Size
printed on it This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money But
that is not always true To find out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price
of the basic unit
The information on the package should provide some answers But the important thing
for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement The words and
pictures do not tell the whole story Only the product inside can do that
46 Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the
passage
A Children are interested in some packages of products
B Package is one of the important ways of advertising
C People prefer to buy the products in plain containers
D The size of a package usually motivates a buyer
47 The phrase a buyer will get something for nothing ( Line 1 Para 2 ) probably
means _________
A a buyer will get something free of charge
B a buyer will get something useless
C a buyer will get something useful
D nothing is worth buying
48 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages
B Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package
than the product itself
C A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a
plain container
D Economy Sizedoesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product
for the least money
49 What does the word them ( Line 6 Para 1 ) refer to _________
A Small gifts B Pictures C Games D Products
50 What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A Package is just an advertisement
B Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much
C The package has nothing to do at all with the product
D Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package

of the English language Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal

probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English
language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it Such a study is
well worth the effort (it is not of course recommended to beginners) even though some
aspects of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed since

Most cities andor states in the U S collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy

what items are and are not taxable Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary
considerably from place from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others
The New York City sales tax for examples is currently 8 so if you buy a pair of 40
shoes you will actually have to pay 4320 This makes paying and getting correct change
much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive)
Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping The Chinese
people have happily put an end to tipping but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with
this indignity Waiters and waitresses cab drivers hotel bellboys barbers and hairdressers
and all sorts of other people must be tipped Their employers give them low wages because
it is expected that you the customer will make up the difference If you don't the service
person can't earn a living Tipping also varies from place to place generally in the area of
15 of your bill (before taxes) but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and
how much
There is another kind of tipping as well You are generally expected to give something
