单选题Every night she listened to her father going around the house, locking the doors and windows. She listened, the back door closed; she could hear the fastener of the kitchen window's click, and the restless pad of his feet going back to try the front door. It wasn't only the outside doors he locked; he locked the empty kitchen too. He was looking something out, but obviously it was something capable of entering into his first defenses. He raised his second line all the way up to bed. In fourteen years, she thought unhappily, the house will be his; he had paid twentyfive pounds down and the rest he was paying month by month as rent. "Of course," he was in the habit of saying, "I've improved the property." "Yes," he repeated, "I've improved the property," looking around for a nail to drive in, a weed to uproot. It was more than a sense of property; it was a sense of honesty. Some people who bought their homes through the society let them go to rack and ruin and then cleared out. She stood with her ear against the wall, a small, dark, angry, immature figure. There was no more to be heard from the other room; but in her inner ear she still heard the footsteps of a property owner, the tap-tap of a hammer, the scrape of a spade, the whistle of radiator steam, a key turning, a bolt pushed home, the little busy sounds of men building barriers. She stood planning.

B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.
The business of advertising is to invent methods of
addressing massive audiences in a language designed to be easily accessible and
immediately persuasive. No advertising agency wants to {{U}}(51) {{/U}}
out an ad that is not clear and convincing to millions of people. But the
agency, {{U}}(52) {{/U}} they would agree that ads should be written to
sell products, disagree when it {{U}}(53) {{/U}} down to the most
effective methods of doing so. {{U}}(54) {{/U}} the years, advertising
firms have developed among themselves a variety of distinctive styles
{{U}}(55) {{/U}} on their understanding of the different kinds of
audiences they want to reach. No two agencies would handle the {{U}}(56)
{{/U}} product identically. To people {{U}}(57) {{/U}} whom
advertising is an exacting discipline and a highly competitive profession, an ad
is {{U}}(58) {{/U}} more than a sophisticated sales pitch, an attractive
verbal {{U}}(59) {{/U}} device to serve manufactures. In fact, for
those who examine ads critically or professionally, products may very well be
{{U}}(60) {{/U}} more than merely points of departure. Ads often
{{U}}(61) {{/U}} their products, and in the {{U}}(62) {{/U}} of
early advertisements for products that are no longer available, we cannot help
{{U}}(63) {{/U}} consider the advertisement independently of oar
responses to those products. The point of examining ads apart
{{U}}(64) {{/U}} their announced subjects is not that we ignore the
product completely, but {{U}}(65) {{/U}} we try to see the product only
{{U}}(66) {{/U}} it is talked about and portrayed in the full
{{U}}(67) {{/U}} of the ad. Certainly, it is not necessary to
{{U}}(68) {{/U}} tried a particular product to be {{U}}(69)
{{/U}} to appreciate the technique section and design used in {{U}}(70)
{{/U}} advertisement.

单选题When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I , Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things——prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy. October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the "Great Crash," as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932. Germany in the postwar years suffered from extreme deprivation because of burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories. Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal" to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.

Today the study of language in our
schools is somewhat confusing. It is the most traditional of scholastic subjects
being taught in a time when many of our traditions no longer fit our needs. You
to whom these pages are addressed speak English and are therefore in a worse
case than any other literate people. People pondering the origin
of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it
developed gradually as a system of conventionalized grunts, hisses, and cries
and must have been a very simple affair in the beginning. But when we
observe the language behavior of what we regard as primitive cultures, we find
it strikingly elaborate and complicated. Srefansson, the explorer said that "in
order to get along reasonably well an Eskimo must have at the tip of his tongue
a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words, much larger than the active vocabulary
of an average businessman who speaks English." Moreover these Eskimo words are
far more highly inflected than those of any of the well-known European
languages, for a single noun can be spoken or writ- ten in several hundred
different forms, each having a precise meaning different from that of any other.
The forms of the verbs are even more numerous. The Eskimo language is,
therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn, with the result that
almost no traders or explorers have even tried to, learn it. Consequently there
has grown up, in intercourse between Eskimos and whites, a jargon similar to the
pidgin English used in China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected
words, most of them derived from Eskimo but some derived from English, Danish,
Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon which is usually
referred to by travelers as "the Eskimo language". And Professor Thalbitzer of
Copenhagen, who did take the trouble to learn Eskimo, seems to endorse the
explorer's view when he writes: "The language is polysynthetic". The grammar is
extremely rich in flexional forms, the conjugations of a common verb being
served by about 350 suffixes, equivalent to personal pronouns and verb endings.
For the declension of a noun there are 150 suffixes (for dual and plural, local
cases, and possessive flexion. Tim demonstrative pronouns have separate flex-
ions. The derivative endings effective in the vocabulary and the construction of
sentences-like words amount to at least 250. Notwithstanding all these
constructive peculiarities, the grammatical and synthetic system is remarkably
concise and, in its own way, logical.

单选题In our society the razor of necessity cuts close. You must make a buck to survive the day. You must work to. make a buck. The job is often a chore, rarely a delight. No matter how demeaning the task, no matter how it dulls the senses or breaks the spirit, one must work. Lately there has been a questioning of this "work ethic", especially by the young. Strangely enough, it has touched off profound grievances in others hitherto silent and anonymous. Unexpected precincts are being heard from in a show of discontent by blue collar and white. On the evening bus the tense, pinched faces of young file clerks and elderly secretaries tell us more than we care to know. On the expressways middle-management men pose without grace behind their wheels, as they flee city and job. In all, there is more than a slight ache. And there dangles the impertinent question: Should there not be another increment, earned though not yet received, to one's daily work—an acknowledgment of a man's being? In fact, what all of us are looking for is a calling, not just a job. Jobs alone are not being enough for people.
