III. Directions:
Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.（每小題2分，共20分）
Passage 1:
If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy. We dont think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare. These things have become such an essential part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked upon.
In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the World Wide Web. It will just be there, an essential part of life. It will be a reflex to turn to the Web for shopping, education, entertainment and communication, just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone.
There is an enormous interest in the Web. Yet it is still in its infancy (嬰兒期). The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward. This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyday lives. Eventually, everyone’s business card will have an electronic mail address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business – from large to small – will be connected.
To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic. We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. Probably before.
1. What is implied in Paragraph 1?
A. Only mad people would ask questions about telephones, TV sets and cars.
B. We dont usually ask people why they use the telephone, television and car.
C. Today televisions and cars are no longer as important as they used to be.
D. In some places, telephones, televisions and cars are still rare things.
2. According to the text, in ten years time the Web will .
A. have become part of people’s everyday life
B. be as cheap as the telephone of today
C. have lost its interest to people
D. no longer be an infant
3. The word “reflex” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A. automatic, unthinking act
B. something one is thinking over
C. reflection of other peoples opinion
D. turning from the source
4. Technology for the Web .
A. has passed its infancy
B. is developing at a very rapid rate
C. has naturally moved more people together
D. is responding to the challenge of the world
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The development of the Web has just started.
B. It will probably take less than ten years for the Web to become common.
C. Eventually the Web will be able to link all businesses together.
D. We are usually too optimistic when we talk about what we can do in ten years
Passage 2
Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously.
Manufacturers have discovered by experience that sugar sells. Badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics(化妝品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology.
Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive(刺激). For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection.
Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bring red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.
1. Our preferences for certain colors are _______ according to the passage.
A. associated with the time of the day
B. dependent on our personalities
C. are linked with our ancestors
D. partly due to psychological factors
2. If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?
A. They breathe faster.
B. They feel satisfied.
C. Their blood pressure rises.
D. Their hearts beat faster.
3. Which of the following statements if NOT true according to the passage?
A. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.
B. Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.
C. People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.
D. The psychology of color is of some practical use.
4. Which of the following statements if TRUE according to the passage?
A. Manufacturers often sell sugar in green wrapping.
B. Dark blue bring people the feeling of being energetic.
C. Primitive people associated heat and anger with red.
D. Green and yellow are associated with calm and passive defense.
5. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Branch of Color Psychology
B. Color and Its Meanings
C. The Practical Use of Color Psychology
D. Color and Feelings.
Passage 3:
Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “l(fā)ife-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction - the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body – this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “l(fā)uxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level.
A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime. And prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages and our fully the good things on the first four levels.
1. According to the passage; man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ____.
A) he has saved up enough money
B) he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C) he has satisfied his hunger
D) he has learned to build houses
2. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans_____.
A) were very rich
B) lived in poverty
C) had the good things on the first three levels
D) did not own automobiles
3. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?
A) A successful career B) A cozy home
C) A good service D) A family car
4. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?
A) The more goods the better
B) The more mental satisfaction the better
C)The more “l(fā)uxury” items the better
D) The more earnings the better
5. The author is inclined to think that a fifth level____.
A) would be little than the fourth level
B) may be a lot more desirable than the firs four
C) can be the last and most satisfying level
D) will become attainable provided the government takes actions
Passage Four:
Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in any original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We cant judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.
1. Some people hate everything that is modern because
A. they are aged
B. they find it hard to accept modern things
C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek
D. they look at things by the standards of the past
2. The writer of the passage thinks that .
A. it is true to say artists fail in their work
B. it is untrue to say artists fail in their work
C. it is true to say some artists fail in their work
D. it is true to say only painters fail in their work
3. The writer thinks the failure of a building .
A. means nothing
B. concerns others
C. concerns only the artist
D. concerns all the people in the world
4. The writer thinks that .
A. we cant judge buildings by the ancient standards
B. we cant judge all the buildings by the ancient standards
C. we cant judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards
D. we cant judge modern buildings
5. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means .
A. the ancient architects had no technology
B. the modern architects use more advanced technology
C. the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildings
D. the modern buildings are more beautiful
