Good Study Habits Study habits play a decisive role in the effect of learning. It is,therefore,important that we should form a good habit when we study.

According to study advisers,there are some basic ways for learning well. Frequent revision,for example,is one of them. It is not a quick way of learning well,of course,however,it does prove effective in the long run. Also,to do enough preparations before class helps a lot.

Besides,there is another way of learning,that is,learning through communicating. Learning will be more efficient if you put what you have learned or are learning into practice. That s why in recent years “Communicative Method” has been strongly recommended in schools in China.

The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said，“If you have no confidence in yourself，you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence，you have won even before you have started.”

If you are full of self-confidence，your creativeness，your enthusiasm will all be aroused，and you will overcome difficulties.As a result，your dreams will come true.On the contrary，if you have no confidence in yourself，there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.

Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge，whether you succeed or not，can increase your confidence.In a word，self-confidence is greatly important to our success.

A computer is high tech.So is a communications satellite.A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980' s.Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.“ State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible.It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology.Something that is “state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry.A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts.It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression.Engineers have used it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970's.The reason was the computer revolution.Every computer company claimed that its computers were “ state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow.The expression “ state of the art ” became as common and popular as computers themselves.Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.16.What is the purpose of the passage A.To tell how “high tech” and “state of the art” have developed.B.To give examples of “high tech”.C.To tell what “high tech” and “state of the art ” are.D.To describe very modern technology.17.What can we infer from the passage? A.American stores could provide new kinds of products to people.B.High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C.“State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.D.A modern plough pulled by oxen is “state of the art”.18.All the following examples are high tech except ______.A.a microwave oven

B.a home computer

C.a hand pump

D.a satellite 19.Which of the fbl1owing statements is not true? A.Since the computer revolution, the expression “ state of art“ has become popular.B.“ State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C.With the rapid development of computer,“ state of the art” computer may easily become out of date.D.All kinds of products are “state of the art” nowadays.20.The best title for the passage is__________.A.Computer Technology

B.High Tech and State of the Art C.Most Advanced Technology

D.Two New Expressions Passage Two The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸)to perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep.This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body.The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.But to be skillful requires greater time.The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful.This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed.A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body.But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture.They are trying to develop convincing theory to explain how the needles work, in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep.It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.21.Acupuncture is_________.A.a medical operation

B.a medical needle

C.a medical technique

D.a medical machine 22.Which statement is NOT true of the performer of acupuncture? A.He knows where to place the needles without pain.B.He knows where the operation is to be performed.C.He knows how to perform the operation to cure the patient.D.He knows how to use the needles in an operation.23.To learn how to use the needles, it takes a person________________.A.several months

B.a couple of weeks

C.a little time

D.almost one month 24.It can be learned from the passage that______________.A.the person performing the acupuncture knows a lot about the making of needles B.an operation now needs fewer needles than in the past C.acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 2,000 years D.few patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals 25.Which is implied but not stated in the passage' s A.The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease.B.The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture.C.The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D.Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.Passage Three Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招聘).Years of studying interviewing have made clear that it is not a very objective process.Personnel officers often hire the person they like most, or even the one they think most physically attractive.Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well, however.Uglies or those who are aesthetically challenged, lose heart.To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively routine jobs and for positions at senior levels of management.It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 1993 were over 1 million.The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim to be scientific and objective.A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.People's judgment is often very subjective;whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else.But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would-be employee.If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test.You can spend just a little time in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate.But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you cannot afford to be denied and eliminated again and again.26.In the past, who would be sure to be recruited after an interview? A)The person who was well educated.B)The person who had great abilities.C)The person who was physically attractive.D)The person who was appreciated by personnel officer in a certain aspect.27.According to the passage, “those who are aesthetically challenged”refer to those who are____________.A)good-looking

B)guarantee of doing the job well C)not attractive judging from appearance

D)given the job of interviewing the candidates 28.Many companies use psychological tests___________.A)to take the place of interviews

B)just to select common clerks C)to make the recruitment more difficult for candidates D)to get really reliable and fair information about candidates 29.“That kind of test” in the last paragraph refers to____________.A)an interview B)a serious test

C)a game-like test D)an objective test 30.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A)For a certain time, psychological tests and interviews will exist together.B)Psychological tests have been recognized valuable more and more.C)The employer will surely hire a person who does well in the interview but poorly in the psychological tests.D)People seldom attend a serious test without enough preparation unless they are confident of it.Passage Four In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the U.S.no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of

explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.31.“The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m...” Here “attached“ means______ A.Taken

B.Drawn

C.Given

D.shown 32.Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean________.A.the matter is important

B.the matter is somewhat important C.the matter requires immediate attention

D.it is a matter of life and death 33.According to this passage, time plays an important role in _________.A.everyday life

B.school life

C.Communications

D.private life 34.The best title for this passage is_________.A.The Voices of Time

B.The Importance of Time C.The Importance of an Announcement

D.Time and Tide Wait for No Man 35.According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements? A.It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A.B.It may be appropriate to send your invitation to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures.C.It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less.D.If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions：There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section．For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence．Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．
