II. Reading
comprehension(2×15=30)
Using a public telephone
may well be one of the minor irritations of life, demanding patience,
determination and a strong possibility of failure, together on occasion
with considerable unpopularity.
The hopeful caller (shall
we call him George?)waits till six o’clock in the evening to take
advantage of the so-called ‘cheap rates’ for a long-distance call. The
telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the
junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It
is pouring with rain as George joins a queue of four depressed-looking
people. Time passes slowly and seems to come to a standstill while the
person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation,
pausing only to insert another coin every minute or so.
Eventually the receiver is
replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of
the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out
the very page he needs. Nothing for but to dial Directory Enquiries, wait
patiently for a reply( while someone outside bangs repeatedly on the door)
and finally note down the number given.
At last George can go ahead
with his call. Just as he is starting to dial, however, the door opens and
an unpleasant-looking face peers in with the demand, ‘Can’t you hurry
up?”. Ignoring such barbarity, George continues to dial and his unwanted
companion withdraw. At last he hears the burr-burr of the ringing tone,
immediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money but he is last
located them, he dials again: the pips are repeated and he hastily inserts
the coins. A cold voice informs him, “ Grand Hotel, Chalfont Wells.’ ‘I’ve
an urgent message for a Mr Smith who is a guest in your hotel. Could you
put me through to him? I’m afraid I don’t know his room number.’
The response appears less
than enthusiastic and a long silence follows. Gorge inserts more coins.
Then the voice informs him, ‘I’ve been trying to locate Mr Smith but the
hall porter reports having seen him leave about a minute ago.’
Breathing heavily, George
replaces the receiver, just as the knocking on the door starts again.
21. The main intention of the
passage is to provide_________.
A.
instructions about how to use a public call box
B.
advice about how to deal with public telephone problems
C.
criticism of possible annoyances in using a public telephone

A.
the call box is in a convenient position
B.

The most immediately
noticeable characteristic of American architecture is its extreme variety.
Americans have reproduced or adapted every European style and even some
Asian ones.
Americans have built Greek
temples, medieval castles, French Renaissance palaces. Private homes of
the most diverse kinds stand side by side on the same street. Originality
had been shown primarily in the aesthetic use of native materials, in the
development of the famous skyscraper, and in the functional purity and
beauty of modern factories and office buildings.
The early settlers found a
great abundance of wood in the forests of America. Since the trees had to
be cleared before fields could be planted, houses were naturally made of
wood. Though wood is comparatively more expensive now, most small homes
are still built of it. Speculative builders acquire large tracts of empty
land, and fill them with nearly identical wooden houses, in currently
popular styles.
In the hot dry Southwest,
the Spaniards built with soft white stone or with baked bricks wooden
pillars and ceiling beams. This remains the predominant style in
California, the Southwest, and parts of Florida.
26. How many types of
architecture are there in the US/
A. three B.
four C. a large number D. not many
27. The word ‘diverse’(Paragraph2)
most probably means________.
A. side B.
same C. private D. different
28. How has US architecture been
original?
A. It copies from the
French. B. It is pure.
C. It uses
wood. D. It emphasizes usability.
29. A building material which is
widely used for homes is __________.
A. forest B.
wood C. metal D. native
30. Building styles in California
were inherited from ______.
A. the French B.
the Spaniards C. the Asians D. the Greeks

The island of Great Britain
being small (compare the size of Australia), the natural place for holiday
relaxation and enjoyment is its extensive coastline, above all its
southern and eastern coasts, though Blackpoll, which is probably the best
known and most crowded seaside town, and the favourite resort of the
mass-population of industrial Lancashire, is on the north-west coast.
Distant and little-inhabited areas like Northern Scotland, are too remote
for the development of large seaside resorts.
For most children, going to
the seaside suggests a week or fortnight of freedom on the beach, ideally
a sandy one providing ample opportunity of the construction of sandcastles
fishing in pools for stranded shrimps, paddling in shallow water or
swimming in deep. Children’s entertainments may include the traditional
knockabout puppet show ‘Punch and Judy’, donkey rides paddleboats in
artificial ponds, mini-golf and the swings and roundabouts in local
fair-grounds. Their parents spend sunny days swimming in the sea and
sunbathing on the beach. Not that the British sun can be relied on and the
depressing sight of families wandering round the town in mackintoshes and
under plenty of cafes and , if the worst comes to the worst, the cinema to
offer a refuge.
The average family is
unlikely to seek accommodation in a hotel as they can stay more cheaply in
one of the may boarding –houses. These are usually three of four-storeyed
Victorian buildings, whose owners spend the summer season letting rooms to
a number of couples or families and providing three cooked meals a day at
what they describe as a reasonable price, with the hope that in this way
they will add enough to their savings to see the winter through. Otherwise
there are the caravan and camping sites for those who prefer
self-catering.
Nowadays, even when an
increasing number of people fly off to Mediterranean resorts where a
well-developed suntan can be assured or explore in comfort Swiss lakes and
mountains or romantic Italian of Spanish cites, the British seaside is
still the main attraction for families, especially those with younger
children. Ad they queue for boat trips, cups of tea or ice-cream under
grey skies and in drizzling rain, the parents are reliving their own
childhood when time seemed endless, their own sandcastle the most splendid
on the beach, the sea always blue and friendly and the sun always hot.
31. A reason suggested in the
first paragraph for the appeal of the British seaside is that _____.
A. it is within easy
reach B. it is an ideal place for children
C. most holiday resorts are

B.

D.
there are a variety of enjoyable ways of spending time there
33.It is suggested that as a form
of holiday entertainment the cinema______.
A.
is visited only if there is nothing better to do
B.
is the only place there is to go in bad weather
C.
is the only place there is to go to in bad weather
D.
has nothing whatever to recommend it
34. What reason is suggested for
running a boarding-house?
A.
The owners earn their living by doing this.
B.
This helps to pay for the upkeep of a large house.
C.
The money they make will keep them through the winter.

Chinese(10×2=20)
86. If American customs seem
strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit another
country. People living in different cultures do many daily things
differently from one another. What a dull world it would be if this were
not true!
Some differences are small,
and one soon becomes accustomed to them. For example, many people find it
strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one
city, they may attend school in a second, enter business in a third, and
perhaps move several more times during their lives. Today, most Americans
fully expect and accept the fact they will move frequently.
87. As well as income, tourism
creates employment. Some jobs are found in travel agencies, tour operators
and other intermediaries supplying services in the generating areas, but
the bulk of jobs are created in the tourist destinations themselves,
ranging from hotel staff to deck-chair attendants, from excursion booking
clerks to cleaners in the stately homes open to the public.
A very large number of
these jobs are seasonal so that tourism’s contribution to full-time
employment is considerably less than its contribution to “job—hours.”
While this is a criticism of the industry in economic terms, and one that
has resulted in many millions of pounds being spent in an attempt to
lengthen tourist season, once again one must remember that many of these
jobs are being created in areas where there would be few alternative
employment opportunities. Tourism is therefore relatively beneficial.

86.如果美国的风俗令外人觉得奇特，别忘记美国人到他国访问，也一样觉得别人的风俗奇特。在不同文化中生活的各个民族，日常的行为有许多是彼此互异的。假若不是这样，这个世界将多么沉闷！
有些歧异是微不足道的，不久就习以为常了。举例说，许多人都奇怪美国人为什么搬迁。美国人在甲地出生，到乙地上学，赴丙地经营事业，此后在其有生之年，也许还要搬迁好几次。今天，大多数的美国人都料到自己将时常迁移，也认为这是理所当然。
87.旅游业在创造经济收入的同时，也创造了就业机会。在旅游产生地的旅行社，旅游经营商和其他中介的供就应服务均提供了一些工作机会。旅游地本身的就业容量最大，其范围从宾馆工作人员到服务员，从旅游售票员到打扫对外开放的豪华住宅的清洁工。
由于旅游业工作大多是季节性的。所以它提供的全日工作的就业机会远小于钟点式的就业机会。从经济眼光来看这是旅游点的缺点，人们数百万英镑以图延长旅游季节。但值得注意的是，这些工作多是产生在那些没有什么别的就业机会可替代的地方，故而旅游业还是比较有利可图的。
