16、rt. 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 choose the best answer to each question based on the passage.Passage OneQuestions 31-35 are based on the following passage:The idea behind “the rule of l
17、aw” is that, it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. “We live under a rule of law, not of men,” American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that “no man is above the law,” that laws apply equally to all people no ma
18、tter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their stations in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behavior
19、 in connection with what was called “Watergate scandal”. Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures.
20、 To get a job with a government institution, for example, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.This not to say that personal
21、contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed. They may. What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for
22、 illegal behavior that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that is does.31.The word “stations” (para 1) is closest in meaning to _.A stages B. situationsC. successes D. social positions32.The writer mentions President Richa
23、rd Nixon in the first paragraph to show that _.A. no man is above the lawB. the president should make sure of the rule of lawC. the rule of law is important in politicsD. American people have the right to remove their president33.Under the rule of law, one wants to find a government job, he must _.A
24、. find personal connectionsB. use his social influenceC. follow formal rules and proceduresD. show that he is good and rich enough34.It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law _.A. is not carried out as fully as it should beB. makes poor people also likely to
25、 be successfulC. is, in reality, almost impossible to realizeD. makes sure everyone is punished for his wrongdoing35.The passage is mainly about _.A. Americans faith in the rule of lawB. law and personal connections in the U.S.第 4 页 共 7 页C. equality under the American rule of lawD. the American rule
26、 of law in theory and in practicePassage TwoQuestions 36 -40 are based on the following passage: When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to
27、what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some idea of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know form your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead we do further and combine them into a unified pictur
28、e. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet - an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how, precisely, do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been
29、performed on this question, and results point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging.Expressed very simply, our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in
30、 which all information we have about others is averaged together - but with some “facts” or input receiving greater weight than others. As you can readily see, this makes good sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influenced to a much greater degree by how
31、this person gives you orders (whether respectfully or not) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affect our impressions of them to the same degree, though, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again,
32、 research provides some revealing answers.36.This passage is mainly about _.A. how our first impressions are expressedB. how our first impressions are formedC. how we can favorably impress othersD. how first impressions affect our lives37.According to the passage, the first impression is _.A. the re
33、sult of a quick lookB. not based on enough informationC. a combination of pieces of informationD. the observation of what a person does38.Research has shown that first impressions are generally more influenced by _.A. the way others speakB. appearance and style of dressC. all information we haveD. c
34、ertain types of information at hand39.By saying “this makes good sense” in the second paragraph, the writer means _.A. this needs good explanationB. this sounds reasonableC. this is what everyone knowsD. this is what many people think40.According to the writer, the first impression of a new boss com
35、es largely from his _.a. style of dressb. appearancec. way of ordering peopled. way of looking at peoplePassage ThreeQuestion 41 45 are based on the following passage:In order to carry out their specialized activities, the cells of the body are grouped together into larger structures. A tissue consi
36、sts of a group of similar cells along with the material between the cells, which are organized to carry out a particular function. There are 4 major types of 第 5 页 共 7 页tissues: epithelial, connective, and muscular, each of which has a special function to perform.Different types of tissues are combi
37、ned into larger functional units known as organs. An organ is defined as a group of tissues working together to perform a particular function. The heart, for example, is an organ made up of epithelial tissue, which protects it, muscle tissue, which is responsible for the actual contractions, nervous
38、 tissue, which controls it, and connective tissue, which holds the other tissues together.Finally, a number of different organs may act together to perform a particular function. Such a collection of organs is known as an organ system. In the human body there are 9 organ systems: the skeletal system
39、, the muscular system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, the respiratory system, the excretory system, the reproductive system, the nervous system and the endocrine system. The lungs and the air tubes form the respiratory system; the heart and the blood tubes along which blood flows roun
40、d the body compose the circulatory system; and stomach and the food tubes constitute the digestive system.To sum up, there are 4 basic levels of the body: the individual cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.41.Group of cells are combined to form a higher unit called _. A. an organ B. a systemC.
41、a tissue D. an organ system42.There are _ major types of tissues.A. 4 B. 3 C. 9 D. 643.The function of the epithelial tissue is to _.A. hold the other tissues togetherB. protect the organC. make actual contractionsD. control the organ44.The digestive system is composed of the stomach and the _.A. fo
42、od tubes B. air tubes C. blood tubes D. water tubes45.The hormones are manufactured and secreted into the blood by the _.A. circulatory system B. digestive system C. endocrine system D. excretory systemPassage FourQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:How do young children learn to h
43、ave good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline? At a time when more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and, on the Internet, some are turning to fairy tales
44、 (童话) as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society.Fairy tales were not always intended for children. We know this because some of these stories have existed for hundreds of years and were passed down from generation to generation through songs and drama. They were considered entertai
45、nment for everyone, not only for young people. In these ancient stories, the heroes were extremely clever, fiercely independent, and never gave up. Over the years, some of the heroes qualities and story lines have been changed to fit the times.Psychologists think that fairy tales have a positive inf
46、luence on children because they present the two sides of good and evil very clearly. When children hear the stories, they develop sympathetic feelings for the heroic characters. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about
47、what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In “The Princess and the Pea,“ a poorly 第 6 页 共 7 页dressed girl who insists she is a princess is given a difficult test by the Queen. When
48、she passes the test, we learn that she is rewarded because she stayed true to herself. In “The Little Mermaid,“ the mermaid (美人鱼) who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In “Pinocchio,“ a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth.Teaching values is the reason most often given for teaching literature and
