阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For new countries joining the European Union, and other ones getting used to their dark red passports, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric(古怪的)family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their difference, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists(社会学家)and market researchers, and are more interesting.
★ 35% of Germans live alone, but only 9%of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.
★The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!
★The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.
★The Dutch and Germans are greatest caravanners(活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.
★The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.
★The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, it’s colder.
★Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.
★The French are the champion public transport commuters(经常往返者)of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.
★The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.
★No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.
There are exceptions(例外)to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, you just laugh a lot, and eat, and point at things.”
56. We can know from this passage that____.
A. sociologists are most interested in the idea of European Union
B. most European countries are not willing to join the European Union
C. Europeans have more differences than similarities
D. trade opportunities exist in the cultural differences in the European Union
57. If you work or live in Belgium, you will____.
A. have to change your living places often
B. seldom see people playing sports
C. not get used to its cold weather
D. be invited to go for a drink frequently
58. What does the underlined sentence “Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.” mean?
A. The British and the Swedish care about their safety most.
B. The British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart.
C. The British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face.
D. The British and the Swedish enjoy a richer life than others
59. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express his idea that ____.
A. his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situations
B. Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languages
C. being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in the European Union
D. there are differences between European countries, but don’t take it too seriously
B
TAIBEI—Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.
According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programmes on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.
The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities . “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market”, Netbig.com vice-president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.
A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there.”
Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A Netbig.com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.
At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates(证书)from selected universities.
60. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because____.
A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later
B. the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan
C. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future
D. there are many famous universities for them to choose
61. Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children____.
A. could receive better education
B. could learn more about the policy there
C. could do well in the business operations
D. could make more friends there
62. The underlined word “it ”(para 3)refers to ____.
A. Netbig.com
B. a Chinese education on the mainland
C. the Chinese job market
D. the university
63. The author wrote the article to tell us____.
A. more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainland
B. the number of Taiwanese students going to universities on the mainland had been
increasing year after year
C. education on the mainland is more attractive compared with Taiwan
D. Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every field
C
A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产)as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in chare of important tasks failed to be at their proper places at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
64. What does the author think is the main difference between a punctual person and an unpunctual person?
A. A punctual person does everything ahead of time while an unpunctual person does
everything behind schedule.
B. A punctual person does everything at the right time while an unpunctual person seldom
does anything at the correct time.
C. A punctual person has a lot of appointments while an unpunctual person has few
appointments.
D. A punctual person has much time to do everything while an unpunctual person has little
time to do anything.
65. According to the passage, the main reason that a person is always unpunctual is that____.
A. he has more work to do than other people
B. he is always in a hurry when he works
C. he doesn’t care much about time
D. he always mismanages and wastes his time
66. According to the third paragraph, when you are invited to dinner, you should arrive there____.
A. after other guests have arrived
B. before all other guests
C. at the appointed time
D. after the host has got things ready
67. Which of the following statements best describes the harm of unpunctuality?
A. If you are an unpunctual person, you cannot be in charge of any important task.
B. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.
C. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs.
D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.
D
Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.
At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.
Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.
Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host., King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.
Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.
68. The main idea of the passage is about ____.
A. the Queen’s favorite food
B. the Queen’s tours abroad
C. how the Queen keeps her diet during her tours
D. the Queen’s trouble with a foreign leader
69. The Queen talked with her host and carried on conversation with him. The purpose of doing this is ____.
A. to show her politeness
B. not to eat much
C. to show her great interest in food
D. to hide her dislike to the food
70. We can infer from the passage that tours are difficult for the Queen, because ____.
A. she has to meet with so many important leaders
B. she has to eat much oily food
C. she has so many reporters to travel with her
D. hosts always present wonderful state banquets
71. What probably is the Queen’s art of acting at state dinners?
A. Appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.
B. Drinking Malvern water.
C. Eating a piece of turkey and some fruit.
D. Eating much without being noticed.

M: Yes. I bought a nice ancient jar in Xi’an.
W: Really? I believe it wonderful. May I have a look some day?
M: Sure. I’d like to invite you to my house for a dinner this Saturday evening. Then you can
see it.

W: What part of the paper are you reading?
M: The travel section.
W: Are you thinking about our vacation already?
M: Yes, it’s not so far away. I’ve been looking at these advertisements.
W: Why don’t we go to the same place we went last year?
M: I won’t stay at that hotel again. I have a better idea for this year. Look at this
advertisement. This looks like a wonderful vacation to me.
W: “Three weeks.” “Ten exciting ports.” “Use the ship as a hotel.” How much does it cost?
M: The price isn’t given.
W: It must be expensive if they don’t give the price in the paper. And besides, I’d rather stay
in one place.
M: I don’t want to sit on the same beach and eat the same food and look at the same walls
every day for three or four weeks.
W: You know the doctor said you shouldn’t try to do too much.
M: He didn’t say that I had to sit in the same chair all day long.

M: It’s Alice’s birthday tomorrow.
W: Are you sure? I think it should be the day after tomorrow.
M: Well, let me see. Oh, I’m sorry. You’re right. It is the day after tomorrow. Shall we buy
her a present?
W: Yes, of course. Shall we give her some flowers?
M: Flowers are lovely. But I think it’s better to buy her a nice box of chocolates.
W: Alice doesn’t like sweet things. Didn’t you know that?
M: You are right. Er…I know we can give her a record. She loves music.
W: That’s a good idea. Let’s go to the music shop and choose one for her.

W: What should I do now?

not try to move him. Other than that, just try to keep calm and wait for the ambulance to arrive.
W: I’ll do that. Thank you very much. Please hurry!

Hi, I’d like to talk to the manager about something. I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this road; the number 49 and number 16. However, by the time the number 16 reaches So UK Road it is always full, so it is of no use to me. This leaves the number 49, which sometimes has empty seats on it.
Your timetable is there. It shows that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why so I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
Your rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, they must stop at every stop people are waiting. Why is it, therefore, that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The rules say that no bus may carry more that 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when I reached the airport. I counted the other passenger as they got off. There were 129 of them.
Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Highest speed: 50 mph.” The distance from So UK Road to Kai tak is 10 miles. On Saturday morning a 49 bus traveled this distance in 10 minutes. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.
It is obvious that our bus companies have no respect for the rules nor consideration for the passengers. Can nothing be done about this?

24. 选【D】。take place = happen，意为“发生”。
25. 选【C】。cover = be enough for，意为“够用”。本题不能选D项，因为meet表示“支付、
偿付（某费用）”，主语一般是人。

词“the subject”。

60. 选【C】。这是一道细节理解题。由第三段关键句Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education…in the Chinese job market.及increase their chances得出答案。
61. 选【C】。这是一道细节理解题。由第五段关键句They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations得出答案。

VI. 短文改错
86. 去掉to。attend to意为“照顾、关心”；attend意为“参加”，是及物动词，后面直接加
宾语。

90. 第一个was改为were。其主语是those，动词应用复数形式。
91. 正确。
92. or改为and。表示并列关系应用连词and。
93. both改为all。both指“两者”，all指“三者（或三者以上）”。
94. ourselves后加to。devote oneself to…意为“献身于……”。
95. with改为in。“用……什么声音”应用介词in，如in a low/loud voice。

Dear James,
Nice to hear from you again. This summer vacation, at the end of July, we winners of NEPC went to a four-day English summer camp in Changzhou.
Some English teachers from China, the USA, England and Australia joined us. In the camp, we had an English speech competition, watched wonderful performances given by the students and visited some places of interest in Changzhou. Besides, we exchanged our English learning experience, and talked about or colorful school life in English. In this way, we not only have made many new friends. We really had great fun in the camp. I hope you can have such a chance to join us next year.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
