28、sages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AMost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”. A friend is moving house th
29、is weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work ha
30、rd.Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards .Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists .“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele St
31、einki, a German psychologist. “Saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable . Anyone should have the right to say “no”.In fact, rejecting a request can even
32、help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.Most people believe that “If I say no, Ill lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This
33、way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from ones own poin
34、t of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”When the refusal (拒绝) is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message .56
35、. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because _.A. they dont care about their own interests and feelings B. they dont know they will regret afterwards C. they have already been used to saying “yes” D. they care more about others affection57. In the opinion of experts, _ .A. people need
36、 a lot of practice to say “no” B. people should say “yes” to keep the peace C. saying “no” means losing a job D. people have the right to be liked58. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other persons request?A. Just say you cant help him. B. Say sorry to him.C. Refu
37、se him clearly. D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.59. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?A. Say yes to him. B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance C. Just go away D. Say no to him60. What is the best title of the passage?A. You Need Courage T
38、o Say “No” B. “Yes” More Than “No” C. Nobody Has The Right To Say “No” D. Its Easy To Say “Yes”B As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. B
39、ut relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stre
40、ss gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at th
41、e first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between fight or flight and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so ext
42、reme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot rem
43、ove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 61. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_. A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health C. th
44、ey are travelling fast all the time D. they are becoming busier with their work 62. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his _. A. not fearing stress B. knowing the art of relaxation C. high sense of responsibility D. having control over performance 63. Which o
45、f the following statements is true? A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. B. Stress is always harmful to people. C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress. 64. In Paragraph 3, such a reaction refers back to_
46、. A. making a choice between flight or fight B. reaction to stress both chemically and physically C. responding to crises quickly D. losing heart at the signs difficulties 65. In the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _. A. expose ourselves to stress B. find ways to deal with stress C. re
47、move stress from our lives D. established links between diseases and stressC Do you know who invented the slide-fastener, or rather, the zipper（拉链）? No one thought of anything like the zipper until Whitcomb Judson came along. Judsons slide-fastener was an out-of-blue invention. No one knows what gav
48、e him the idea. No one even knows much about him, except that he was a mechanical engineer living in Chicago and that he patented other inventions to do with a street railway system and motorcars.Judson invented the first zipper in 1891. This ingenious little device looks very simple, and the princi
49、ple behind it is simple, too; yet it took a lot of years, together with another inventor to make the zipper really practical.The zipper had to be produced cheaply, because no one would pay a lot of money for it. Judson invented a machine to mass-produce his slide-fastener. But the machine was terrib
50、ly complicated and kept on breaking down. So in 1905 Judson invented a new fastener, the C-curity, which was easier to manufacture. Clothing manufacturers, however, were not the least bit interested in trying out the fasteners, so the only way Judson could get them on to the market was by letting pe
51、dlars（小贩） sell them from door to door. Moreover, the C-curity fastener was clumsy and had a bad habit of bursting open at inconvenient times.Then a young Swedish engineer called Sundback came to work for Judsons struggling company. He thought hard and decided that the interlocking parts needed to be
52、 much smaller to give the fastener greater flexibility and to stop it bursting open. After several attempts, Sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. It is in all important ways the same as the one we use today.Clothing manufacturers still refused to use the fastener. But in 1918 an in
53、ventor showed the American army a flying suit he had invented. It happened to use the slide-fastener. The army put the suit through such tough tests that it disintegrated(分裂)-all except the fastener! A Navy officer happened to see the tests, and Judsons unknown little company got an order for ten th
54、ousand fasteners. Later, Judsons invention was used in the manufacture of rubber galoshes（橡胶套鞋） by a big company. They called the galoshes Zippers. This is how the slide-fastener got its popular name.66. What does the sentence “Whitcomb Judsons slide-fastener was called an out-of-blue invention” in
55、the first paragraph mean?A. That it was blue in color. B. That it was totally unexpected.C. That it was excellent in quality.D. That it was not practical.67. How many years did it take for a really practical zipper to be invented? A. 22 B. 18 C. 19 D. 1368. What do we know about Whitcomb Judson acco
56、rding to the passage? A. It took Judson a lot of years to invent the first zippers. B. Judson, together with Sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. C. Judson invented a lot of things, not only including zippers but also a street railway system and motorcars. D. People know little abo
57、ut Whitcomb Judson except a few facts.69. What can you conclude from the passage? A. The invention of the zipper was not easy but its marketing was. B. At least three inventors worked for the perfection of the zipper. C. The slide-fastener acquired its present name only after it was used in the manu
58、facturing of army suits. D. It was only by a stroke of luck that the zipper found its way into a wider market.70. What is the writers purpose of writing the passage?A. To tell us how the zipper works.B. To give a brief sketch about the inventors of the zipper.C. To give us information about the inve
59、ntion of the zipper.D. To argue who the real inventor of the zipper was.PART FOUR WRITING SECTION ADirections: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram / Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.Why must we pay taxes? Th
60、e answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example, to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money. One of the most important taxes is income-tax whic
61、h a person pays according to the amount of his income, whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government. Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, new clothes, toba
62、cco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country. Such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are late sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers. People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the m
63、oney is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wa
64、ges of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cant have an army without paying for it. Besides, if a country wants to develop, there are many other things to do. Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided.
65、 We buy our food and clothes and pay for our amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that is necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real reason to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselve
66、s and for our fellow-citizens. Tax is a/an 71 part of our lifeWhy must we pay taxes?The State need the money for our society to 72 .We supply money for the good of ourselves and 73 .
