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

th

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

C. What do you mean by pointing at that animal D. I have no idea of what you’re pointing to

59. The writer indirectly expressed that early in the 18th century _________.

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

C. a great many Europeans showed great interest in Australia D. a war against the European invaders was to break out 60. The best title of this passage is _________.

I am writing to answer your e-mail.

I suggest you come to Shanghai for entry formalities first, visit Huangshan Mountain second, and have china for home in Beijing at last. It would be much better if you could bring along with you some sweaters. The weather here is changeable now. And I also suggest you take some medicine. During your stopover in Shanghai, I suggest you visit Nanjing Road and the Bund, and in Beijing, the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.

With my best wishes.
