At one time or another we probably all have. There’s no   51   in getting depressed about it now—it’s no    52    crying over spilt (溢出的) milk. However, there may be some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why    53    we might be able to draw some conclusions for the future.   One thing we all do now and again is to lose our    54   with a friend or close relative. The odd thing is that we more often display great   55   towards someone we are fond of than towards 56   . The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity ‎ to   57_   a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences (后果) of   58_   a stranger could be far more serious.   Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德）and undoubtedly this is the    59_  . On the other hand, we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, telling them exactly what we feel, and then have found ourselves filled with feelings of    60  . Perhaps we should have kept our mouths shut?‎ ‎51. A. reason ‎ B. purpose C. point   ‎ D. result ‎ ‎52. A. use B. help  ‎ C. value ‎ D. benefit ‎53. A. so B. because C. but D. though ‎54. A. mind   ‎ B. memory C. manner D. temper ‎55. A. anger  ‎ B. interest ‎ C. love D. respect ‎56. A. strangers B. friends   ‎ C. relatives D. colleagues ‎57. A. run through B. throw away C. give up D. let off ‎ ‎58. A. inviting B. insulting ‎ C. speaking to D. believing in ‎59. A. issue B. case C. event ‎ D. factor ‎60. A. excitement ‎ B. happiness C. pride D. guilt ‎（B）‎ ‎  Several factors make a good newspaper story. First—obviously—it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for    61    . They usually respond to it in one of three ways. ● By providing   62    detail, comment or background information. ● By finding a new   63    on the day’s major stories. ● By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.   What else? Well—it also has to be   64   . People don’t want to read about ordinary, everyday life. Because of this, many stories   65    some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be   66   news, “Plane lands safely—no-one hurt” doesn’t sell newspapers. “Plane   67   —200 feared dead!” does.   Next, there’s human interest, People are interested in other    68   —particularly in the rich, famous and powerful, Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians, 69  , all appear regularly in certain newspapers.   Finally, for many editors,   70  is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s why the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.‎ ‎61. A. newspapers ‎ B. publications C. reporters D. broadcasters ‎62. A. extra B. available C. inaccessible D. memorable ‎63. A. direction B. look ‎ C. angle D. section ‎64.

A. crashes B. bumps C. strikes D. drops ‎68. A. places B. people C. things ‎ D. news ‎69. A. in addition B. in any case  ‎ C. for example D. after all ‎ ‎70. A. personality B. similarity C. uniqueness D. familiarity V. Reading Comprehension Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished ‎ statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎（A）‎ ‎  The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.   Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham‎, ‎England. Greg and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector (测谎仪）test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities . The competition judges included an astrologer (占星家) who declared that they were suited.   The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less than delighted.   Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, “we have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.”   The couples are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a year’s free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre of Birmingham, and a car. But will it last? 71. How did the couple’s parents react to the wedding?   A.

Which of the following is the best title of the passage?  A. Two Strangers and a Wedding   B. A Wedding Based on love ‎ ‎  C. A Short-lived Marriage   D. A Well-Matched Couple ‎ ‎（B）‎ ‎  In July 1994 Jupiter , the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth , But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?   The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.   On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.   Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won’t escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions .As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived. Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end? 75. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author’s description of the disaster in 2094?   A. The whole world becomes extremely cold.   B. All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed.   C. The whole mankind becomes extinct.   D. The visit of the comet results in wars. 76. Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?  A. Because they could only live in the warm climate.   B. Because they once dominated the earth. ‎ C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.‎ D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age 77. In writing the passage, the author intends to     _____  .   A. give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future   B. prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed   C. tell the historical development of the Earth   D. warn of a possible disaster in the future. 78. It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a(n)   ______   . ‎ ‎  A. horror story      B. news report C. research paper     D. article of popular science ‎（C）‎ ‎ Passport Control   If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring (转换) to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs（海关）immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community, you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London.  After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked “Other Passports”.  Baggage Reclaim（行李领取）Area   After passing through Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft along with other cargo, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area. Look for the sign with your flight number. If you have only hand luggage, go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to Customs. Customs   All passengers must pass through Customs after Passport Control. There is a choice of two channels, Green and Red. If you have nothing to declare, go through the Green Channel. If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances (免税额)，or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel. Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not.

When he came to analyse their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.   One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor, “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear-rings. But somehow the action got reversed (颠倒) in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures”.   Twenty per cent of all errors were “test failures”—primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on—much to his surprise. A woman victim reported: “I got into the bath with my socks on.”   The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.   The research so far suggests that while the “central processor” of the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be “captured” by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors. 82. The purpose of Professor Reason’s research is   ______   .   A. to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning   B. to classify and explain some errors in human actions   C. to find the causes which lead to computer failures  D. to compare computer functions with brain workings 83. Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?   A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.   B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.  C. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.   D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks. 84. The word “verifying” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _________ .   A. improving     B. changing    C. checking   D. stopping 85. According to the passage, the information “storage failures” refer to     ______ .   A. the destruction of information collecting system   B. the elimination of one’s total memory   C. the temporary loss of part of one’s memory  D. the separation of one’s action from consciousness ‎ 第II卷（共40分）‎ 考生注意：   1. 答第II卷前，考生务必将姓名、准考证号、校验码等填写清楚。   2. 第II卷共两大题，考生必须用钢笔或圆珠笔将答案直接写在试卷上。‎ I.
