?A.in the U．S．?√

?B.in Shanghai

?C.in the U．K．

?D.in some cities

解析：【解析】題干意為“花旗銀行過去在哪里找人作行球主管。”從文章第一句得知，過去外資銀行用自己國家的人做行政主管，而花旗銀行屬于美國，所以我們可以推斷出，過去花旗銀行用美國人做行政主管，故選A。

(2).The“executivetrainees”(Line 3，Para．1)areprobably those who are__________．（分數：1.00）

?A.persons to train otherpeople

?B.persons to be trained?√

?C.executives

?D.leaders in the bank

解析：【解析】題干意為“第一段第三行中的‘executive trainees’可能是指哪些人?”本題考查名詞仃ainees的含義。根據文章第一段最后一句“They(承前指代executive trainees)are expected to take up managerial positions at the bank’s Shanghai branch after a tw0—year training program overseas”可知，他們被招募來首先要經過培訓，所以trainees的意思是“見習生，實習生”，故選B。

(3).Banks like Citibank lookfor local people to fill executive positions because __________．（分數：1.00）

?A.there is an increasingdemand for personal banking services?√

?B.there are more and morelocal professionals

?C.China has joined the WorldTrade Organization

?C.a city

?D.a bank?√

(5).According to the passage，after they have been employed the Chinese graduates would__________．（分數：1.00）

?A.be trained for 2 years inShanghai

?B.be sent to overseas fortraining?√

?C.do some work of executivesin Shanghai

?D.take up managerialpositions at the branch

解析：【解析】題干意為“根據文章，中國大學畢業生在被聘用后將__________。”從原文第一段句末“They are expected to…after a two—year training program overseas”可知，大學畢業生首先要送往國外受訓兩年，而非留在上海受訓，所以A不正確，而C和D則是受訓歸國之后的事，因此應排除。故選B。

Job letters and resumes must attract the attention of busy readers, who may spend only 60 seconds deciding whether to consider you further. This article gives you the tools to write a successful letter and resume. "Successful," of course, means a letter and resume that will get you an interview. After that, your interpersonal skills will help you land the job. The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step--the personal interview.Most job letters and resumes still get sent through the mail. However, a growing number of applicants ( 申請人) use the Internet to apply for jobs. 　　For example, on-line services can place resumes into a bank used by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies. The resumes will be scanned with the use of software, which searches for key words that reflect abilities needed for specific jobs and then sends selected resumes to companies. 　　Whether you use on-line techniques like e-mail and resume services or stick with the traditional approach( 方式) the same basic writing prisiples apply. Your letter, no longer than one page, should be specific about the job you seek and your main selling points. The resume--one page or two at most--should simply, specifically ,and neatly highlight(強調) your background. 根據以上內容，回答41-45題。（分數：5.00）

(1).A successful letter and resume will help you __________ .（分數：1.00）

?A.gain tools

解析：【解析】題干意為“一封成功的求職信和簡歷將幫助你__________。”從文章第一段末“The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step-the personal interview”可知，求職信和工作簡歷的目的是爭取面試的機會，故選B。

(2).The underlined word "land" in the first paragraph means__________ .（分數：1.00）

?A.obtain?√

?B.reach

?C.plan

?D.place

解析：【解析】題干意為“第一段中的下劃線單詞‘land’的意思是__________。”本題考查land在文中的詞義。我們知道人們參加面試的目的是獲得工作，可以得出land做動詞講時與obtain同義。reach到達，plan計劃，place放置，都不正確，故選A。

(3).According to the passage the purpose of writing a job letter and resume is to__________ .（分數：1.00）

?A.show you interpersonal skills

?B.get a chance of being interviewed?√

?C.attract the attention of busy readers

(5).Which of the following is TRUE according to the basic writing principles mentioned in this passage?（分數：1.00）

?A.The job letter should be longer than one page.

?B.The resume should be longer than two pages.

十、Part IV Translation from English to Chinese (25 minutes)(總題數：5，分數：20.00)

22.It must have rained in the night for when l woke up the next morning I saw the grass wet．
（分數：4.00）

?A.昨晚本應該下雨的，因為我早晨被叫醒時看到草地是濕的。

?B.昨晚可能下了雨，因為我早晨醒來時發現草地是濕的。

?C.昨晚可能下雨了，因為我被叫醒時發現草地是濕的。

?D.昨晚肯定下雨了，因為我早晨醒來時發現草地是濕的。?√

解析：【解析Imust have done表示對過去所發生的事情的猜測，且語氣較為肯定；for引導原因狀語從句，意為“因為…”；wake up意為“醒來”，是不及物動詞短語，沒有被動語態，因此不能翻譯成“被叫醒”；A選項主從句部分均翻譯錯誤，B、C項主句雖然都翻譯出了猜測語氣，但肯定程度同原句有所差異。

23.I want to write an article that will attract public attention to the moral and legal education．
（分數：4.00）

?A.我希望所寫的文章能導致大眾對社會道義和法律教育的正確理解。

?B.我希望所寫的文章能引起人們對道德和法律教育的注意。

?C.我想寫一篇文章，引起人們對道德和法律教育的注意。

?D.我想寫一篇能引起人們對道德和法律教育的注意的文章。?√

解析：【解析】原句中that引導的是定語從句，修飾前面的定語article，意為“一篇…樣的文章”，因此本句的最佳翻譯句式是“我想寫一篇…樣的文章”，所以D選項最佳。C項也表達出原句意思，但總體意思同原句還是有所差異。attract one’S attention意為“引起某人的注意”，A選項翻譯成“導致”，屬意思翻譯錯誤。

24.But for those two words of encouragement，I would have never won this prize．
（分數：4.00）

?A.要不是這兩個字的鼓勵，我永遠也不可能贏得這個獎項。?√

?B.要不是因為鼓勵這兩個字，我永遠也不可能贏得這個獎項。

?C.但是為了鼓勵這兩個字，我應該早就獲得這個獎項了。

?D.要不是因為這兩個鼓勵的字，我永遠也不可能贏得這個獎項。

解析：【解析】but for意為“要不是，因為”；A、D選項意思相近，但D項“這兩個鼓勵的字”不太符合中文的說法。B項“因為鼓勵這兩個字”不符合原文意思，C項則完全翻譯錯誤。

25.Given that she is interested in children，I am sure teaching is the right career for her．
（分數：4.00）

解析：【解析】本句是一個原因狀語從句，giventhat意思是“鑒于”，be sure意為“肯定”，right在本句中是“合適的”的意思，而不宜翻譯成其本意“正確”。

（分數：4.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________
正確答案：(北京是政治文化的中心。此外，它還有一些非常具有吸引力的景觀，例如八達嶺長城、故宮、頤和園。在北京，充滿吸引力的東西不僅僅是建筑。北京烤鴨和涮羊肉也都是很受旅游者歡迎的。)

解析：【解析】第一句是一個定語從句，但鑒于后面定語過長，因此把原句拆開翻譯更符合漢語語言習慣。there is more than buildings in Beijin9此句應聯系上下文把漢語意思補充完整，因為前面談的是北京充滿吸引力的地方，因此，這句話的意思就是“在北京，充滿吸引力的東西不僅僅是建筑”。

Passage One

Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.

The Great Wall of China is considered to be the only man-made project seen from the moon. Although it was once thought to have been built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 208 BC, it is now believed to have been started earlier.

The 15-foot-high, 25-foot-wide, 1, 500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies. To the common people of empire, who had been forced to build the wall, it was not worth it, however. The wall, and other public works completed by the Qin Dynasty, had caused great losses on the wealth and human life of the country. As a result, an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.

Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance, the Great Wall attracts tourists, scientists, and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.

Passage 2

Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.

Why are Arabic figures used everywhere in the world? In the past, other counting figures once existed in many countries, but they all died away. The Roman figures, for instance, were popular in Europe before the 13th century. However they are hardly in use now, except on some clocks and watches, and on other rare occasions. Look at the following and you will know why it is so.

The Rome used seven letters, each standing for a different number, I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D for 500, M for 1000. To express a small number the Romans would use repetition or additions, or subtractions. For instance, II means 2, XXX means 30 (repetition); VII means 7 (addition) and IV expresses 4(subtraction).

To express a number a thousand times larger, they put a line above the number. Thus, XVI=16000, and CDXLVII=447000. To show the year 1993 in Ramon figures, it will be “MCMXCIII.” The inconvenience is quite clear. Besides, it would be difficult to express in Roman figures a decimal point or a fraction.

The Arabic numbers, on the other hand, avoid all this trouble. First they are decimal. Second they are easy to write. It is these strong points that make the Arabic figures accepted by people all over the world.

38. The Roman figures were widely used____.

A) during Shakespeare’s time

B) in the United States

C) in the world

D) in Europe before the thirteenth century

39. The number LV means ________.

A) a thousand times B) 55000 C) 5500 D) more than five thousand

40. If we show the year 1548 in Roman figures, it will be _______.

A) MVMIVIII B) MDXLVIII C) MDMXXXXVIII D) MDLXVIII

41. Why are Arabic figures widely used in the world?

A) Other counting figures died away

B) Arabic figures are convenient and easy to express decimal point and fraction.

C) Arabic figures are decimal.

D) Both B and C.

42. What is the meaning of the word underlined in Para. 2?

A) Repetition B) Reduction C) Multiplication D) Division

Passage 3

Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.

Brazil has become one of the developing countries which make great successes at reducing population growth-but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made efforts to reduce birth rates(出生率), Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.

Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, and achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.

Martine thinks that soap operas (肥皂劇) and installment plans introduced in the 1970s played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas, Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week., while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.

“ Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values – not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, ” says Martine, “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people know other patterns and other values, which were put into a very attractive package.”

Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “This led to a great change in consumption patters and consumption was incompatible with unlimited reproduction,” says Martine.

43. According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth ________.

A) by educating its citizens B) by developing TV programs

C) by careful family planning D) by chance

44. According to the passage, many Third World countries ________.

A) haven’t given much attention to birth control

B) would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rates

C) haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population

D) haven’t produced enough TV plays

45. what does the world “ envy ” in Line 4, Para. 2 mean?

A) Love B) Hate C) Admiration D) Hope

46. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ________.

A) they have gradually changed people’s way of life

B) they keep people sitting long hours watching TV

C) people are interesting in soap operas

D) they popularize birth control measures

47. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?

A) The increase in birth rate will promote (促進) consumption

B) The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate

C) A country’s production is limited by its population.

D) Consumption patterns have nothing to do with population.

Passage 4

Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.

Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, reams of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into his view.

They 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 is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and housing. 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 cars 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 “life-enriching” level. While the other levels mean physical satisfaction--- the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body---this level means mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called“luxury(奢侈)” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers 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 be wants that can be achieved best by community(社區) action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, pollution and crime. After filling our stomachs, our garages, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health and safety to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

48. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and ________.

A) he was saved up enough money B) he was grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

C) he was satisfied his hunger D) he was learned to build houses

49. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans_________.

A) were very rich B) were very poor

C) had the good things on the first three levels D) didn’t own cars

50. Which of the following is NOT related to physical satisfaction?

A) Seeing interesting films. B) A comfortable house.

C) Delicious food. D) A family cat.

51. What is the main want of man on the fourth level?

A) The more goods, the better. B) The more mental satisfaction, the better.

C) The more luxury items, the better. D) The more earning, the better.

52. The author thinks that a fifth level _______.

A) would be a little better than the fourth level

B) may be a lot more desirable than the first four

C) can be the last and most satisfying level

D) will come true provided the government takes actions

Part V

Health and Wealth

As the old saying goes: “Health is wealth”.(以引語開頭) People, especially wealthy people in poor health understand it well. Since there is a rule in reality---the wealthier you are, the weaker your health is. This seems to show that there is a conflict between wealth and health.（議題：財富和健康似乎存在對立關系）

It’s not exact. Wealth is based on health.(表明態度)。A student in good health can absorb knowledge more reality. Such a student would have more opportunities to have a better –paid job. Being in good health, a business man is more energetic and can achieve more success. The conflict exists only if one devotes too much energy to study or work. In this case, he loses his health.

So, what we should do in our work or study is reasonable use of our energy. It’s no wise to waste time under the excuse of keeping healthy, or work too much at the cost of health.(建議合理對待健康與財富)

Passage One

Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Natural rubber is obtained from rubber as a white, milky liquid known as latex (橡槳) . This is treated with acid and dried, before it is sent to countries throughout the world. As the rubber industry developed, more and more rubber was required. Rubber plantations (種植園) were set up in countries with a hot, humid climate, but these still could not supply sufficient raw rubber to satisfy the requirements of developing industry.

It was unsatisfactory for industry to depend on supplies coming from so far away from the industrial areas of Europe. It was always possible that supplies could be stopped by wars or shipping trouble.

For many years, attempts were made to produce a substitute, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, aw method was discovered of producing artificial rubber which is in many ways superior and in some ways inferior （劣的）to natural rubber. Artificial rubber is produced in factories by a complicated chemical process. It is usually cheaper than natural rubber.

At present, the world requirements for rubber are so great that both natural and artificial rubber are used in large quantities.

Passage Two

Questions 41to 45 are based on the following passage.

Noise, commonly defined as unpleasant sound, is a kind of environmental pollution. Particularly in crowded urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and seriously affects the quality of the those who are suffering from it.

Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates it easily. Loud noises signal a big danger to human beings. In response, the heart would beat faster, the skin would become pale, and the muscles would get tense. As a matter of fact, some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being (安樂) ，causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is a number one nonfatal (非致命的) health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and cancers may be affected by noise pollution as well.

A) A)???? Loud noises signal a big danger.

B) B)????? Noise may be a serious threat to our health.

C) C)???? Physical and psychology harm.

D) D)???? A danger to people’s life.

B) B)????? Our response might last longer than the noise itself.

C) C)???? Our body could resist the noise quite effectively.

D) D)???? Noise is limited to urban areas.

44. According to the passage, the human being’s immediate response to noise may be the following EXCEPT that .

A) A)???? the heart would beat faster.

B) B)????? The skin would become pale

C) C)???? The muscles would get tense

45. The word “it” (Line 4, Paragraph 1) refers to .

Passage Three

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Anyone who doubts that global (全球性的)financial markets control national economies need only look at the crisis facing the“tigers”of the Far East。The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted from individual governments to the markets。

The trend towards globalisation began in the early 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates, set up after World War II, stopped functioning. This meant that the value of currencies（貨幣）would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. By 1990, nearly all world’s major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out of their countries.

Other factors contributing to the rise of globalisation are new communications technologies, and better transportation systems. These have enabled companies to grow into multinationals—producing goods on one side of the planet and selling them on the other.

As we approach the century, the trend of globalisation seems unstoppable. However, a look at history suggests that things may not go that smoothly. The last time the world tried to create a global economy, its efforts were spoiled by a world war and the worst depression（經濟大蕭條）in history. How successful it will be this time depends on how much we have learnt from the past.

46. What would happen along with the global economy?

A) A)???? Free movement of goods and capital between countries.

B) B)????? Firm control of national economies by the governments.

C) C)???? The great depressions in many countries.

D) D)???? Economic crises in developing countries.

47. The word “multinationals”most probably means .

A) A)???? companies producing many kinds of goods

B) B)????? companies controlling economies of several countries

C) C)???? companies having branches in several countries

D) D)???? companies operating many factories within a district

48. According to this passage, national economies in most countries are now controlled by

A) global markets B) individual governments

C) large companies D) several multinationals

49) Which of the following does NOT appear in the process of globalization?

A) A)???? New communications technologies.

B) B)????? Better transportation systems.

C) C)???? Global financial markets.

D) D)???? Fixed exchange rates.

50. To create a global economy, it is very important for us .

A) A)???? to keep world peace

B) B)????? to develop multinationals

C) C)???? to promote transportation

D) D)???? to control national economies

Passage Four

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

EL Nino（厄爾尼諾）has existed for a long time. It was first observed by Peruvian fishermen, who noticed that the sea warmed up every few years around Christmas time. They named the phenomenon EL Nino, which is Spanish for “the child”, and refers to the young Christ.

In more recent years, scientists have established that EL Nino appears every two to seven years. Its cause is still unknown, but it’s clear that when it does appear, it can disrupt（擾亂）weather patterns over three quarters of the earth, in affects the world’s weather system more than any other phenomenon except the seasons. That EL Nino killed over 2,000 people in floods and droughts（旱災）and caused $13 billion worth of damage.

Plenty is now known about EL Nino’s destructive potential, but the phenomenon itself remains mysterious. Despite years of research, scientists are still unable to predict how destructive an EL Nino will be when it arrives. However, progress is being made on forecasting when one will occur. This is very important because, if enough warning is given, steps can be taken to limit the destruction and suffering that following a bad EL Nino. At the very least, farmers would know whether to plant dry-or wet-weather crops.

Family Cars in China

With the development of car industry and the improvement of the people’s living standard in China, more and more cars are going into Chinese families. Some families have cars made in China, and others own cars imported from abroad. They drive them either to work or for holidays.

Cars have quite a number of advantages. It is very convenient to travel by cars, and this saves a lot of time. As a means of transportation easy to handle, family cars can carry not only people, but also goods. They can go almost anywhere owing to their small size. That’s why more and more families are trying to buy them.

However, just as a coin has two sides, cars also have some disadvantages. They cost the owners a lot of money for the fuel, insurance and maintenance; they are responsible for air pollution; and what’s more, car accidents kill hundreds of people each year and traffic jams happen very often. All these cause us many problems. Therefore, we should work out some ways to solve them.

Text A

　　In the case of mobile phones, change is everything. Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.

　　First, let"s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.

　　This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the "meeting" influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer "see you there at 8", but "text me around 8 and we"ll see where we all are".

　　Texting changes people as well. In their paper, "insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging", two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the "talkers" and the "texters"-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.

　　They found that the mobile phone"s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.

　　Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the "speakeasy": the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the "spacemaker": these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.

　　Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people"s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn"t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.

41. When people plan to meet nowadays, they________________.

A) arrange the meeting place beforehand 　　B) postpone fixing the place till last minute

C) seldom care about when and where to meet D) still love to work out detailed meeting plans.

42. According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen on__.

A) Talkers　　 B) the "speakeasy"　　C) the "spacemaker"　　 D) texters

43. We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are________.

A) quite revealing　　B) well written　　 C) unacceptable by others　　D) shocking to others

44. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?

A) talkers 　　 B) the speakeasy 　　C) the spacemaker 　　D) texters

45. An appropriate title for the passage might be_________.

A) the SMS effect 　　 B) cultural implication of mobile use

　C) change in the use of the mobile　　 D) body language and the mobile phone!

Text B

Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal-or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class-whether a person is "working-class" or "middle-class"-are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.

　　In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers" jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting.

　　The stereotype of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training） to make such long-term plans.

　　Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position.

　　The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have) and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.

46. Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past?

A) Life style and occupation 　　B) Attitude and income

　C) income and job security 　　D) job security and hobbies

47. The writer seems to suggest that the description of ___________ is closer to truth.

A) middle -class ways of spending money 　　B) working-class ways of spending the weekend

　C) working-class drinking habits 　D) middle-class attitudes

48. According to the passage, which of the following is not a typical feature of the middle -class?

A) desiring for security 　　B) Making long term plans

　C) having priorities in life 　　D) saving money

49. Working -class people"s sense of security increased as a result of all the following factors except?

A) better social security 　　B) more job opportunities

C) higher living standard 　D) better legal protection.

50 Which of the following statement is incorrect?

A) Changes are slowly taking place in all sectors of the British society.

B) The gap between working -class and middle- class young people is narrowing

C) Different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappear

D) middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class people!

Text C

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning, he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and some times stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.

　　During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

　　One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I"m handsome, Miss Eyre?"

　　The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No, sir."

　　"Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude."

　　"Sir, I"m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn"t matter, or something like that,"

　　"No, you shouldn"t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points

　　I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly," yes, you"re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn"t my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you"re the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you"re sympathetic and give them hope."

　　It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn"t seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.

　　"Don"t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre." He continued. “You don"t relax or laugh very much; perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time, you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You"re like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you"ll fly very high. Good night.”

51. At the beginning Miss Eyre’s impressions of Mr. Rochester were all except__________.

A) busy B) sociable C) friendly D) changeable

52. In "……and all my knowledge him was limited to occasional meetings about the house…".the word about means______________.

A) around B) on C) outside D) concerning.

53. Why did Mr. Rochester say" …and then you stab me in the back!"

A) because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife　　

B) because Jane had intended to be more critical.

C) because Jane had regretted having talked to him　　

D) because Jane had said something else to correct herself.

54. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to__________.

A) Tell her all his troubles B) tell her his life experience.

C) change her opinion of him D) change his circumstances

55. At the end of the passage , Mr. Rochester sounded__________.
