The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultura
26、l difference, not an economic(经济的) one. Knowing your own psychological(心理的) space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your ow
27、n bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very hard to find in the world. In many other co
28、untries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a bed near them. The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family m
29、embers go to be alone. Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.56. The first sentence in par
30、agraph 1 “Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space.” means “ .”A. No two people need exactly the same amount of living spaceB. Living space requirements are not always the sameC. The world requires the same amount of living spaceD. Nobody needs a required amount of living s
31、pace57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birth.B. Economic situation decided ones amount of space needs.C. People in different countries require different psychological space.D. Knowing your psychological space needs is import
32、ant, as they affect your future58. Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because .A. they dont have enough living space B. they are brought up in a large familyC. it meets their psychological needsD. the children in the family sleep in the same bed with their parents.BWhen my
33、 first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 did I know who would have the three-day vacation. I was one of the lucky soldiers.It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a light sno
34、w had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments（装饰物）shining against the green of a pine tree.“Where did it come from?” I asked.“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mo
35、ther said. “I wouldnt have had one just for myself, but when calledoh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon”The tree reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal Star was at its place. A few green branches reached about a little ugly at the side, I thoug
36、ht, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree fills the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.“Its not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didnt know where to
37、get a better one. But I couldnt be fussy(挑剔的).“Dont worry,” I told her. “Its perfect.”It wasnt, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.59. From the passage, we can infer that . A. the writer spent his first Christmas during the war B. so
38、ldiers didnt all go home for Christmas during the war C. all the soldiers had a three-day holiday in turn D. the writer was a lucky soldier, who could go home60. When the writer got home, . A. it was December 23 B. it was snowing heavily C. he found a Christmas tree in the living room D. the Gates b
39、oy was cutting a Christmas tree for his mother61. “ All Christmas trees are perfect”, because they can make the writer think of . A. the wartime B. the green of a pine C. the pleasant smellD. the sweet home62. From this passage, we can infer that .A. the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas t
40、reesB. his mother didnt like perfect treesC. his mother didnt want to have a treeD. the Gates boy couldnt find a better treeC Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For s
41、ome people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now scientists say there are three different kinds of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary(暂时). This is the most common type. It usually goes quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational lonelines
42、s, is a natural result of a particular situation for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of lone
43、liness is the most serious. Unlike the second kind, chronic(长期) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no particular cause. People who experience such loneliness have problems socializing (get along with people) and becoming close to others. Unluckily, many chronically lonely people th
44、ink there is little or nothing they can do to improve their situation. Psychologists agree that one important reason for loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on different people for different reasons. For example, our families give us emot
45、ional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity. Psychologists a
46、re trying to find ways to help chronic lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic lon
47、eliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous situation.63. What would you do with the temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friendsB. Just pay no attention to itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teachers for guidance64. The underlined “it” in the last sentence of the second pa
48、ragraph refers to .A. temporary lonelinessB. situational lonelinessC. a new placeD. sleeplessness65. The topic of the fourth paragraph is that .A. a persons social contacts is one reason for lonelinessB. we depend on various people for different reasonsC. lonely people dont have many social problems
49、D. lonely people dont have many friends66. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome(克服).D. All of above.67. What is the best title for the pass
50、age?A. Three Kinds of Loneliness B. Loneliness and DiseasesC. Loneliness and Social Contacts D. Chronic LonelinessD A lot of people think Scotland is a part of England, but, as any Scotsman will tell you, it certainly is not. In fact, until the eighteenth century Scotland was an independent country,
51、 with a government of its own. The English had tried many times over many centuries to bring Scotland under their rule. They succeeded at last in 1707, and some Scots have never forgiven them. Scotland is now governed from London, but in some ways it is still a separate nation. It has its own capita
52、l city(Edinburgh), its own law, and its own stamps. It even has a language of its own, spoken now by only a few people in the islands. In some ways Southern Scotland is like England, with its good farmland and low green hills. Central and Northern Scotland(the Highlands) have high mountains and deep
53、 valleys, fast rivers and cold lakes. These days, of course, there are good roads and railways all through Scotland. Aberdeen, the northeast city where the oil from the North Sea comes to land, is especially easy to reach. But it can still be quite difficult to travel in winter when the hills are co
54、vered with snow. It always takes a long time to visit the beautiful but far-off islands on the west coast. One reason why Scotland has stayed so different from England is the wildness of the land. It has always been difficult to get around there.68. From the history of the Great Britain we can know
55、Scotland .A. had been an independent country by the 19th centuryB. had been a dependent country by the 18th centuryC. was a separate country before the 18th centuryD. was a dependent country before the 18th century69. The first paragraph tells us .A. the Scots used to fight against the rules from En
56、gland many timesB. the Scots defeated(打败) the English at all the battlesC. the Scots never defeated the English at all the battlesD. it was quite easy for the English to occupy(占领) Scotland70. Scotland has a language of its own, .A. which is spoken by all the ScotsB. which not many people speak nowC
57、. which is almost the same as English D. which the English prevent from being spoken 71. From the third paragraph we can infer .A. there are no good roads in Scotland because of high mountainsB. there are no railways in Scotland because of deep valleysC. England had not any rivers and lakes in the c
58、enter and the northD. England has good farmland and low green hillsE Having spent some two and a half years in China over several visits, I dont remember ever experiencing a phrase we call “culture shock(冲击)” in the United States. This period of difficulty in adjusting to（适应）a new culture would prob
59、ably have begun during the term at Peking University, my first long period away from the United States. Of course, this is not to say that I didnt notice any differences between the American and Chinese cultures as soon as I arrived at Peking University. I certainly did notice the differences. Looki
60、ng back, I remember one of the first differences I noticed: Chinese universities were surrounded by walls. To an American, this is one of the most surprising fact of a Chinese university and one which immediately makes it different from an American campus(校园). Having grown up in the United States, I
61、 had never seen a university surrounded by high, cement walls. After I had seen a number of them in different states of the US, my idea of a university was that it was a place of life and learning, a part that cannot be separated from the community(社区) where it was and should be open not only to the
62、 students of the school itself, but also to students from other schools and to the community. My idea of a university was that it was a center of cultural life, a resource for the whole community. In all my twenty-one years, I had never thought that a school would have a wall around it. Walls make s
63、chools and students separate from the community. However, schools should be open to everyone. The very ideas seemed totally different. I asked a Chinese friend if all Chinese universities had walls around them. “You know, Ive never really thought about it; I guess so. I guess all Chinese schools hav
64、e walls around them, primary, middle and secondary schools, too not just universities.” “Why?” I asked, “Whats the point?” “I dont know. To protect us, I suppose.” “From whom?” “Its not really something Ive thought about. I dont know. Dont you have walls around your schools in the United States?” I
65、thought carefully before answering. “NO, Ive never seen or heard of a university surrounded by a wall”. My Chinese friend seemed puzzled. Walls around schools came to strike me as more than just a difference in building between the United States and China; the walls showed a totally different idea f
66、rom the very concept(概念) of education. As China continues to open up to the outside world, these walls dont seem quite right.72. From the first paragraph, we can infer .A. the writer had some difficulty in getting used to the Chinese cultureB. the writer found a culture shock while he was staying at
67、 Peking UniversityC. the writer experienced a cultural shock in China, but he forgot itD. that was the first time for the writer to leave the US73.One of the differences between Chinese universities and American universities is .A. the American universities are surrounded by cement wallsB. the Chine
68、se universities are separated from the American universitiesC. there are no walls between a university and the community in the USD. in China, the university is where there is no community74. What is the point of a school according to the writer?A. A school can separate students from the other peopl
69、e.B. A school doesnt allow the other people to enter.C. A school can widen the peoples knowledge.D. A school produces bookish people. 75. What does the “wall” refer to?A. It refers to a physical wall.B. It refers to a wall in metaphorical(比喻) meaning.C. It refers to separation of knowledge from real
70、 life.D. All of above.第卷 （共35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行做出判断：如无错误在该行右边横线上画一个勾（）；如有错误（每一行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正。该行多一个词；把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线（）划掉。该行缺一个词；在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。该行错一个词；在错词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。注意：原行没错的不要改。I was glad to accept your letter on June 22. 7
