Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: “Fingers were made before forks”.When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.16.The custom of eating with a fork was _____.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians 17.By the fifteenth century forks were used _____.A.all over ItalyB.only in Constantinople C.widely in EuropeD.In England 18.To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _____.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous 19.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ______.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food clean C.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English 20.In England, people who used forks at that time were considered _____.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and C Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month.Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday.The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families.Major holidays in the United States include New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day.In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year.This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once.Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.21.The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have __________ weekends.A.5-dayB.2-dayC.3-dayD.4-day 22.Workers in the United States sometimes work from __________.A.MondayB.Saturday to Monday C.Thursday to FridayD.Tuesday to Friday 23.Which statement is wrong according to this passage?

25.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Holidays in the United States B.Vacation in the United Staes C.How the Workers Spend Their Holidays D.Something about the Holidays and Vacation in the U.S.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry.England had been a major producer of wool for centuries.Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England.And cloth-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing.With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased.But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time.The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth.The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves.The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once.A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers.Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule.It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread.Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.

C.Samual Crompton invented the spinning machine mule.

D.By the end of the 18th century, power-driven spinning machines could produce two hundred threads simultaneously.

29.“simultaneously” in the last sentence means ____.

A.at the same timeB.together 

C.at a timeD.altogether 30.This passage can best be titled ____.A.Process of the Industrial Revolution

B.Beginning of the Industrial Revolution

B.worth

C.worthy

D.Valuable

答案解析

1.[答案] D

[翻译] 由于工作过度，他病了。

[分析] as a/the result of 是一个固定短语，意思是“由于，因为”。例如：He was late s the result of the snow.他因下雪迟到了。

2.[答案] B

[翻译] 当云朵消散以后，爬山者可以看到更加高的山峰。

[分析] visible的意思是“看得见，可见的”;obvious的意思是“显然的，明显的”;present的意思是“现在的，出席的”;apparent的意思是“明显的，显而易见的”。

3.[答案] C

[翻译] 飞机准备起飞时候，我们都把安全带系好了。

[分析] fasten的意思是“系住，扎牢，使某物结合在一起”;tie指用绳子打扣“系”起来，没有“使牢固”的含义;lock的意思是“上锁”，在这里不符合题意。Close的意思是“关闭，合上”。

4.[答案] C

[翻译] 因我方正与该公司磋商一些重要的交易，所以想确切了解它的资信情况。

[分析] transacting的意思是“交易”;transmit的意思是“传播，传送”;transfer的意思是“转让”;transport的意思是“运输”。

5.[答案] B

[翻译] 正如你的老师那样，你应该把时间花在钻研一些值得研究的事情上。

[分析] worth和 worthy 都可能当“值得的”讲，worth的后面接名词或动名词，worthy的后面接动词不定式或者与of 搭配使用，空白处后面的researching是一个动名词，根据这一点我们可以看出B应该是正确的答案。Worth一般作表语，在本句中作不定代词的后置定语。Precious的意思是“珍贵的”;valuable的意思是“有价值的”，这两项都与题意不符。

First and most important is extraordinary receptive and adaptable — it has taken to itself material from almost everywhere in the world and has made the new elements of language its own.English, which when the Anglo-Saxons first conquered England in the fifth and sixth centuries was almost a “pure” or unmixed language—which could make new words for new ideas from its own compounded elements.A second outstanding characteristic of English is its simplicity and the relationship of words in a sentence with only the minimum of change in their shapes or variation of endings.A third quality of English is its relatively fixed word order.21.This passage is primarily concerned with ________.A.reasons for the popularity of English B.English language has largest number of people in the world C.extraordinary receptive and adaptable of English language D.characteristic of English 22.What are the most important characteristic features of English?

26.The passage mainly discusses ____.A.certain evolutionary advantage of New World monkeys

B.feeding habits of the spider monkey

C.the development of arms and shoulders in New World monkeys
