Directions:There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a short children\"s book. Either the author has aimed too 2 , so that the children can\"t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 3 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children\"s books are neither very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 4 who hears the story and the adult who 5 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 6 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 7 to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as 8 of children\"s literature were in fact written for 9 . \"Alice\"s Adventure in Wonderland\" is perhaps the most 10 of this.

Children, left for themselves, often 11 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or library and he will 12 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children\"s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 13 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 14 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so different that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 15 books. So I suppose we\"ll just have to compromise over that bedtime story. 1.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You\"ve got to know what they\"re thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. **e in with an idea about what they want. You get them talking about themselves, about what they like.

If it\"s a man, you talk about football, or something like that. If it\"s a woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they **fortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get them saying yes. Then they just get into the habit of saying yes.

In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you\"re really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn\"t really do that. It wouldn\"t be right. You\"ve got to sell on this job, but you also have to be fair. It\"s not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who\"d do anything. But I don\"t believe in that.

Passage 2

Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth.

In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.

Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks, and by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.

Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.

Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us **forts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, tickets, luggage, and a hundred and one other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.

1. In primitive times men traveled ______. A. for joy

B. from necessity

C. to broaden the mind

D. to escape from the wild animals

2. Their journeys were long, tiring and often dangerous, so they had to take measures to protect themselves EXCEPT ______.

A. they had to arm themselves with wooden sticks B. they protected themselves with stone clubs C. they had to travel in groups D. they never traveled at night

3. Later, they found it easier to travel because ______. A. they could travel by wagons

B. they could ride on their tame animals and go across water in hollowed tree trunks C. the roads were splendid D. the climates were favorable

4. Traveling has now become a highly organized business ______. A. so we can travel anywhere without difficulty

B. because we are provided with all kinds of convenient means for traveling C. because traveling organizations can be found in the countries the world over D. so travelers have increased rapidly

5. ..to escape from hostile neighbors ...\A. talkative B. hotheaded C. enthusiastic D. unfriendly

Passage 3

A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time. A **puter, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits(数学). It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.

The heart of an **puter lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits(电路) work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions—it must be programmed.

Computers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls, guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even play chess. Computers play an essential role in modern automation in many plants and factories throughout the world. 1. A computer is a machine designed to ______. A. perform work mathematically B. **plicated calculations C. store and select information

B. do not have to be programmed C. work more quickly

D. understand their instructions

Passage 4

Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn\"t easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime-a-word job. But once you were there, I found, you were in.

Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss\"s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. \"Matt, we have to have a talk,\" I began awkwardly. \"I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I\"m forty. There\"s a lot I want to do in life. I\"m resigning.\" \"To another paper?\" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn\"t say anything, not trusting myself just then. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new **pany; that the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways; that we were at a rare turning point in history; I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. \"I\"m glad for you,\" he said, quite out of my expectation. \"I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can\"t,\" he went on. \"I wish you all the luck in the world,\" he concluded. \"And if it doesn\"t work out, remember, your star is always high here.\"

Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody—even though I\"d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.

Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. \"I\"m resigning, Bill,\" I said. He listened while I

gave him the story. He wasn\"t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, \"Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.\"

1. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous ______. A. newspaper B. magazine C. temple D. church

2. If the writer stayed with the Globe, ______. A. he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams B. he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away C. he would never have to worry about his future life D. he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions 3. The writer wanted to resign because ______. A. he had serious trouble with his boss B. he got underpaid at his job for the Globe

C. he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry D. he had found a better paid job in a publishing house

4. When the writer decided to resign, the Globe was faced with ______. A. a trouble with its staff members B. a shortage of qualified reporters C. an unfavorable business situation D. an uncontrollable business situation

5. By \"I wish I were in your shoes.\" (in the last paragraph), Bill Taylor meant that ______. A. the writer was to fail B. the writer was stupid
