Passage 4
When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West you often see a lot of people walking dogs It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world but the reason why people keep a dog has changed In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master For example when people used dogs for hunting the dog would not eat what was caught without permission
But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals Why do they keep dogs then Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery But the most important reason is for companionship For a child a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with For young couples a dog is their child when they have no children For old couples a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship

Passage 5
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown in other words the origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men unlike animals somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings actions and things so that they could communicate with each other and that later they agreed upon certain signs called letters which could be combined to present those sounds and which could be written down Those sounds whether spoken or written in letters we call words
The power of words then lies in their associationsthe thing they bring up before our minds Words become filled with meaning for us by experience and the longer we live the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past and the more we read and learn the more the number of words that mean something increases
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all the real poet is a master of words He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and vulgar
36 The origin of language is _______
A a legend handed down from the past B a matter that is hidden or secret
C a question difficult to answer D a problem not yet solved
37 What is true about words
A They are used to express feelings only B They can not be written down
C They are simply sounds D They are mysterious
38 The real power of words lies in their _______
A properties B characteristics
C peculiarity D representative function
39 By association the author means _______
A a special quality B a joining of ideas in the mind
C an appearance which is puzzling D a strange feature
40 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true
A He is no more than a master of words
B He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music
C He can move men to tears
D His style is always charming
Passage 6
We can make mistakes at any age Some mistakes we make are about money But most mistakes are about people Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen When I got that great job did Jerry really feel good about it as a friend Or did he envy my luck When we look back doubts like these can make us feel bad But when we look back it’s too late
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words Suppose someone tells you you’re a lucky dog Is he really on your side If he says You’re a lucky guy or You’re a lucky gal that’s being friendly But lucky dog There’s a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesn’t see it himself But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says square with the tone of voice His posture (体态) The look in his eyes Stop and think The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake
41 From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________
A feels happy thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B feels he may not have read his friends’ true feelings correctly
C thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend Helen
D is sorry that his friends let him down
42 In the second paragraph the author uses the example of You’re a lucky dog to show that________
A the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B this saying means the same as You’re a lucky guy or You’re a lucky gal
C sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
D the word dog shouldn＇t be used to apply to people
43 This passage tries to tell you how to________
A avoid mistakes about money and friends
B bring the dog bit into our conversation
C keep people friendly without trusting them
D avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
44 In listening to a person the important thing is________
A to check his words against his manner his tone of voice and his posture
B to listen to how he pronounces his words
C to notice his tone his posture and the look in his eyes
D not to believe what he says

Passage 4
When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West you often see a lot of people walking dogs It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world but the reason why people keep a dog has changed In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master For example when people used dogs for hunting the dog would not eat what was caught without permission
But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals Why do they keep dogs then Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery But the most important reason is for companionship For a child a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with For young couples a dog is their child when they have no children For old couples a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship

Passage 5
How men first learnt to invent words is unknown in other words the origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men unlike animals somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings actions and things so that they could communicate with each other and that later they agreed upon certain signs called letters which could be combined to present those sounds and which could be written down Those sounds whether spoken or written in letters we call words
The power of words then lies in their associationsthe thing they bring up before our minds Words become filled with meaning for us by experience and the longer we live the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past and the more we read and learn the more the number of words that mean something increases
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all the real poet is a master of words He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and vulgar
36 The origin of language is _______
A a legend handed down from the past B a matter that is hidden or secret
C a question difficult to answer D a problem not yet solved
37 What is true about words
A They are used to express feelings only B They can not be written down
C They are simply sounds D They are mysterious
38 The real power of words lies in their _______
A properties B characteristics
C peculiarity D representative function
39 By association the author means _______
A a special quality B a joining of ideas in the mind
C an appearance which is puzzling D a strange feature
40 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true
A He is no more than a master of words
B He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music
C He can move men to tears
D His style is always charming
Passage 6
We can make mistakes at any age Some mistakes we make are about money But most mistakes are about people Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen When I got that great job did Jerry really feel good about it as a friend Or did he envy my luck When we look back doubts like these can make us feel bad But when we look back it’s too late
Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words Suppose someone tells you you’re a lucky dog Is he really on your side If he says You’re a lucky guy or You’re a lucky gal that’s being friendly But lucky dog There’s a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesn’t see it himself But bringing in the dog bit puts you down a little What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words One way is to take a good look at the person talking Do his words fit the way he looks Does what he says square with the tone of voice His posture (体态) The look in his eyes Stop and think The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake
41 From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker________
A feels happy thinking of how nice his friends were to him
B feels he may not have read his friends’ true feelings correctly
C thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend Helen
D is sorry that his friends let him down
42 In the second paragraph the author uses the example of You’re a lucky dog to show that________
A the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly
B this saying means the same as You’re a lucky guy or You’re a lucky gal
C sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words
