单选题{{B}}Section A{{/B}} There is one passage in this section
followed by five questions. For each question, there are four choices
marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, then mark the
corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the
centre.
Questions 46 to 50 are based on
the following passage. I have been living in London for
more than 60 years, but still, when I'm driving and take some clever back-street
short-cut, I catch myself thinking how extraordinary it is that I am doing this
! For a moment the town mouse I have become is being seen by the country mouse t
used to be. And although, given a new start, I would again become a town mouse,
when I visit relations in the country, I envy them.
Recently, I stood beside a freshwater lake in Norfolk, made by diverting a
small river, near where my brother lives. As he was identifying some of the
birds we could see, in came seven swans. They circled, then the haunting sound
of their wing beats gave way to silence as they glided into a
splash-down. It is not a " picturesque" part of the coast, but
it has a definite character of line and fight and color. "You do live in a
lovely place," I said to my brother, and he answered, "Yes, I do. " There are
probably few days when he does not pause to recognize its loveliness as he works
with his boats--he teaches sailing-or goes about his many other
occupations. The lake's creator is a local landowner, continuing
the tradition whereby the nature of our countryside has been determined by those
who own the land. Formerly, landowners would almost certainly have made such
changes for their own benefit, but this time it was done to help preserve the
wildlife here, which is available for any visitor to see, providing they do
nothing to disturb the birds. It is evidence of change: country life is changing
fast. One of the biggest changes I have witnessed is that
second-homers, together with commuters, have come to be accepted as a vital part
of the country scene. Also the men and women who service their cars, dig their
gardens, install their phones, repair their word processors, lay their carpets
and do all the other things they need, are vital to modern country
life. It is quite likely that the children of today's workers
may be moving into the same kind of jobs as the second-homers and the retired.
Both the children of a country woman I know are at university, and she herself,
now that they have left home, is working towards a university degree. One of the
delights of country life today, it seems, is that there you can see how much
social mobility is increasing. Much depends, of course, on the
part of the countryside you are living in and on personality-- your own and that
of your neighbors. In my brother's Norfolk village, social life seems dizzying
to a Londoner. In addition to dropping in on neighbors, people throw and attend
parties far more often than we do. My brother's wife, Mary, and her friends fly
off on the most dashing bargain breaks in Krakow or Prague or Venice, and are
always going into Norwich for a concert or to King's Lynn for an exhibition. The
boring country life that people from cities talk about is a thing of the
past--or perhaps that was only ever an impression. This is very
unlike living in a London street for 50 years and knowing only the names of four
other residents. In these 50 years I have made only one real friend among them.
I do enjoy my life, and Mary says that she sometimes envies it (the grass on the
other side of the fence) , but whenever I go to Norfolk, I end up feeling that
the lives of country mice are more admirable than my
own.

单选题In this section, you will hear five short news items. After each item, which
will be read only once, there will be a fifteen-second pause. During the pause,
read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is
the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a
single line through the centre.
单选题Directions: There are two passages in this section with 10
questions. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You
should decide on the best choice. Question
51-55 are based on the following passage. Our culture
has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but
that the gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that
waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's
side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to
oneself is a sign of farewell. Those private citizens who sent
packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT
to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that "gift" means poison in
German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be
at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle
Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans
uncomfortable. Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the
casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs
and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in
the world. Even here in the United States, we make few
concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in
four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual
guided tour. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual
waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have
maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding
them. When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and
restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up
are conditioned by those natives--usually the richer--who speak English. Our
business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy, are conducted through
interpreters. For many years, America and Americans could get
by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, American was the
most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and
goods. But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all
good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the
world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want
this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a
hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not
always be the upper land.
