单选题The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are necessary part of life. Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and neighbors" children as well. Another drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work. More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

单选题How can you lose weight ______ you eat so much every day?

单选题We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we"ve become used to suddenly disappears. 1 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 2 to see—or look at--on my way to work each morning. For three years, no matter 3 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On 4 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 5 out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 6 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 7 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 8 I expected to see her each morning. You might say l 9 her. "Did she have an accident? Something 10 ?" I thought to myself about her 11 Now that she was gone, I felt I had 12 her. I began to realize that part of our 13 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 14 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 15 walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 16 markers in our ey es. They add weight to our 17 of place and belonging. Think about it. 18 , while walking to work, we mark Where we are by 19 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though 20 , person?

单选题Much emphasis seems to be placed on what you will do "for a living". Yet there is a danger of feeling compelled (迫使) to choose an occupation or a career before you"re really ready to do so. In our society there is pressure or encouragement from an early age to identify with some occupation. Children often hear the question: "What are you going to be when you grow up?" (Part of the implication of this question is that we"re not grown up until we"ve decided to be something.) Carney and Wells (1987) write that society expects young people to identify their values, choose a vocation and a lifestyle, and then settle down. The implication is that once young people make the "right decision", they should be set for life. Yet deciding on a career is not that simple. One of the dangers in focusing on a particular occupation too soon is that students" interest patterns are often not sufficiently reliable or stable in high school or, sometimes, even the college years to predict job success and satisfaction. Furthermore, the typical student does not have enough self-knowledge or knowledge of educational offerings and vocational opportunities to make realistic decisions. The pressure to make premature (早熟，过早) vocational decisions often results in choosing an occupation in which one does not have the interests and abilities required for success.

单选题Western-style conversations often develop quite differently from Japanese-style conversations. A Western-style conversation between two people is like a 1 of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you do 2 it back. If you agree with me, I don"t expect you simply to agree and to say: 3 more. I expect you to add something to carry the idea further. 4 I don"t expect you always to agree. I am just as 5 if you completely disagree with me. 6 you agree or disagree, your 7 will return the ball to me. And then it is my turn 8 I don"t serve a new ball from my 9 starting line. I hit your ball back again to you by 10 your idea further. And so the ball goes back and forth, 11 each of us doing our best to give it a new twist. A Japanese-style conversation, 12 , is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It"s like bowling. You 13 for your turn. And you always know your 14 in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger 15 the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn comes, you 16 up to the starting line with your bowling ball, and 17 howl it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, whispering 18 . Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley, and watches to see if it 19 down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them. There is a pause, while everyone registers your 20

单选题(D) It seems to me that British newspapers aren"t really newspapers at all. They contain news, it is true, but much of this news only appears in print because it is guaranteed (保证) to shock, surprise or cause a chuckle. What should we expect to find in a real newspaper? Interesting political articles. Accurate reports of what has been happening in distant comers of the world. The latest news from the stock exchange. Full coverage of great sporting events. In-depth interviews with leading personalities. It is a sad fact that in Britain the real newspapers, the ones that report the facts, sell in thousands, while the popular papers that set out to shock or amuse have a circulation of several million. One"s inescapable conclusion is that the vast majority of British readers do not really want a proper newspaper at all. They just want a few pages of entertainment. I buy the same newspaper every day. In this paper political matters, both British and foreign, are covered in full. The editorial column may support government policy on one issue and oppose it on another. There is a full page of book reviews and another devoted to the latest happenings in the theatre, the cinema and the world of art. Stock exchange prices are quoted daily. So are the exchange rates of the world"s major currencies. The sports correspondents are among the best in the country, while the standard of the readers" letters is absolutely first class. If an intelligent person were to find a copy of this paper 50 years from now, he or she would still find it entertaining, interesting and instructive. So my favourite newspaper is obviously very different from those popular papers that have a circulation of several million. But that does not mean that it is "better" or that they are "worse. " We are not comparing like with like. A publisher printing a newspaper with a circulation of several million is running a highly successful commercial operation. The people who buy his product are obviously satisfied customers and in a free society everybody should have the right to buy whatever kind of newspaper he pleases.
