Faces, like fingerprints are unique. Did you 11 wonder
how it is possible for us to 12 people? Even a skilled writer
probably could not describe all the 13 that make one face
different from another. Yet a very young child-- 14 an animal,
such as a cat----can learn to recognize faces. We all 15 this
ability for granted.
We also tell people 16 by observing how they behave .When
we talk about someone's personality, we mean the 17 in which
he or she acts, speaks, thinks or feels that 18 that
individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex.
But describing someone's personality 19 words is somewhat
easier than 20 his face.

III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for
each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage one
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American
people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely
to be that everyone is in a rush .City people always appear to
be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient
if they are delayed even for a brief moment.
At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers
will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve
you ; people will push past you as they walk along the street
. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you
shop or dine away from home . Do not think that because
Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often ,
life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in
other countries as well.
Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago,
or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a
hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back",
just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for
example . But when they discover that you are a stranger, most
Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help
you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they
remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help
or want to ask a question , choose a friendly looking person
and say," I am a stranger here. Can you help me ?"
Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find
you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know
that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by,
not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help.
Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too
rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be
discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy
helping a stranger.

that ____.
[A] America is a highly developed country
[B] American city people seem to be always in a rush

trouble

happy
[B] you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you
[C] you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
[D] you will find that Americans don't have much sense of
humor
23. In the author's opinion, _____.
[A] it is true that life in New York is much faster than
that in any other city
[B] people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
[C] most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big
cities
[D] those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly
24. The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore
and Paris _____.
[A] to show that city people all over the world have a lot
in common
[B] to let his readers be aware that they are some of the
world's biggest cities
[C] to illustrate their difference from American cities
[D] because they are some of the cities that attract
visitors most
25. If you say to an American that you are a stranger
there, most probably be will ____.
[A] offer his help [B] stop smiling at you
[C] help you find the way [D] reply that he is pleased to
meet you
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his
community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work..
The area's city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion
about how the quality of life was decreasing . The
neighborhood faced many problems.
Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are
charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant
buildings . People were supposed to suggest solutions to the
councilwoman..
It was too much for Mark. " The problems are too big ,"
he thought . He turned to the man next to him and said, "I
think this is a waste of my time . Nothing I could do would
make a difference here."
Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop.
"People should just take care of themselves , " he decided.
"That's enough to do . I can't take on all the problems of the
world."
As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a
grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but
she didn't have a free hand . As Mark got closer, her other
child , a littlle boy , suddenly darted into the street. The
woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag
shifted and groceries started to fall out . Mark ran to take
the boy's arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked
up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!"
she said . " You've got great timing!"
" Just being neighborly," Mark said . As he rode home, he
glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was " Small
acts of kindness add up ." Mark smiled and thought, " Maybe
that's a good place to start."
26. It is known from the passage that ____.
[A] Mark played an active part in community activities
[B] the city councilwoman was responsible for the falling
of life quality

treat you the same way.
[B] Everyone can play his own part to make things better.
[C] All small acts will add up to kindness.
[D] It's a small act to help a person in need.
30. The passage is mainly about _____.
[A] how individuals can help make a difference
[B] running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problems
[C] citizens' reactions to the problems they face
[D] solving problems through group action
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
In every society it is necessary to have a general system
of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain
that people's rights are protected and that people respect
each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which
are specific to a time or situation. For example , a town in
Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a
can of food . Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot
their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do
the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their
lives, so a law was passed to prevent it.
Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after
the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For
example , the Indiana law was no longer necessary when
citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers.
Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now
seems like nonsense.
Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were
passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As
a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a
law which says that it is "illegal to move or to attempt to
move a motor vehicle." Obvionsly, a massive traffic jam would
occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law . But no one does,
of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent
owners from moving their own cars . It was to prevent people
from moving (stealing) other people's cars.
It is often harder to repeal (废止)a law than to pass
one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because
they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem
no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands
that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good
sense, now seem like nonsense.
31. According to the passage, laws are designed for the
purpose of______.
[A] protecting people's rights
[B] making people respect each other
[C] preventing gun-carrying
[D] punishing criminals
32. The word "job " in paragraph 1 refers to _____.
[A] working
[B] shooting
[C] preventing gun-carrying
[D] disturbing others
33. The author used the Indiana law as an example to
explain _____.
[A] how some laws are passed and changed
[B] how people in Indiana open cans
[C] why some laws may seem strange
[D] why people in Indiana no longer use their guns
34. What's the problem with the law concerning motor
vehicles?
[A] It leads to traffic jams.
[B] It is not clearly written.
[C] It is not designed to serve a good purpose.
[D] It has been out of date.
35. We can conclude from the passage that _____.
[A] a law system is necessary for every society
[B] some laws that don't make sense may also get passed
[C] it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a
new one
[D] some laws may seem strange as time passes

time, Americans will do their best to include you in the
conversation. They may ask you if you are feeling well or if
there is anything they can do to help you . However ,if

quiet. This does not necessarily mean that they agree with
you; often it only means that they consider it impolite to
argue further.

很多美国人感到沉默很不舒服,他们会侃侃而谈,不让谈话中断,即使只有片刻停也非所愿。假如你久久一言不发,美国人会设法让你加入谈话。他们也许会问你身体是否舒服,或者是否需要他们帮忙。但是,如果美国人不同意你的意见,他们会默不作声。这样做未必表示他们同意你的意见,常常只表示他们认为继续同你辩论下去不合礼仪。
