　　Passage Two

　　Generations of Americans have been brought up to

　　believe that a good breakfast is essential to one's life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been

　　told,told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure So despite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast.

　　Between 1977 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33%from 8.8 million to 11.7 million--according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.

　　Several studies in the last few years have shown

　　that,for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does

　　not affect work,"said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve work. " Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分) ,most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, "is poor."

　　40. Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph?

　　A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has

　　increased.

　　B. Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the

　　morning.

　　C.8.8 million people got involved in a study on

　　eating habits.

　　D. A company carried out a research in 1983.

　　答案：A

　　41. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part?

　　A. Having breakfast does not improve work, either.

　　B. Giving people breakfast improves work.

　　C. Going without breakfast can improve work, too.

　　D. Having breakfast does improve work.

　　答案：A

　　42. What does the word "literature" in the last sentence

　　refer to?

　　A. Modem American literature.

　　B. Any printed materials.

　　C. Written works on a subject.

　　D. Stories, poems plays.

　　答案：C

　　43. Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer's conclusion about the function of breakfast?

　　A. Omitting breakfast helps improve work.

　　B. Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.

　　C. Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.

　　D. There isn't strong evidence to prove that breakfast

　　is a must.

　　答案：D

　　Passage Three

　　When you stretch out in the sun you can do one

　　of the three things: you can use no sun tan oil, an

　　ordinary sun tan oil; or Bergasol.

　　If you don't use any sun tan oil when you're in

　　the sun, you will burn surprisingly quickly. If you use

　　an ordinary sun tan oil, you will protect your skin to a lesser or greater degree.How much protection depends on the "protection-factor number" on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the sun's rays you can stay in the sun all day without burning but you won't go very brown,either.

　　Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary

　　sun tan oil. It also has a tan accelerator that speeds up the rate at which the sun activates the skin cells that produce melanin(黑色素). It is melanin that gives the skin its brown colour. Bergasol enables you to go

　　brown faster,am as the days pass the difference will become more obvious.Unfortunately, this special formulation isn't Cheap to prepare.So Bergasol is rather more expensive than ordinary sun tan oil. However, the price looks more attractive as you do.

　　Bergasoi

　　It makes you go brown faster

　　Protection Many people imagine that "cover-up" means you don't get a tan. Nothing to show for your holiday.

　　Not so. With "cover-up", you can get brown if

　　you want to. The point of "cover-up" is to protect

　　your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which,

　　according to the experts ,make your skin look older.

　　That's what Solex Cover-up is all about--protection for your skin. It has a Sun Protection Factor 8, which makes it suitable for anyone. Find out how it works for you by consulting the Solex Sun Chart. On sale wherever Solex is. With Solex Cover-up, you can tan as slowly as you like. As gently as you like. with much less

　　chance of peeling. Your tan will look better. Your

　　skin will stay young longer.

　　Solex

　　Gentle tan.., full protection

　　44. What can we learn from the second advertisement?

　　A. It is easy to get a suntan in summer.

　　B. Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.

　　C. Sunlight could make one look older.

　　D. Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.

　　答案：C

　　45. Why is Solex suitable for everyone?

　　A. Its price is more attractive.

　　B. It can be used to relieve sunburn.

　　C. It can make the skin cells more active.

　　答案：D

　　Passage Four

　　Ideas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America and

　　Australia,for example, are mobile very open. People

　　here change jobs move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as

　　personal.

　　On the other hand, there are more crowded less

　　mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.

　　To Americans, both Europeans Asians seem cool formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life asks you all sorts of

　　questions that you don't want to answer.

　　Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist'' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, they treat every person situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 強(qiáng)調(diào)特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.

　　48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?

　　A. People from a mobile society dislike talking about

　　personal affairs.

　　B. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile

　　society.

　　C. Americans tend to make more friends than people

　　from other cultures.

　　D. It is difficult for Americans Australians to

　　communicate with strangers.

　　答案：B

　　49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?

　　A. Those who talk a lot about themselves.

　　B. Those who they know well enough.

　　C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.

　　D. Those who want to do business with them.

　　答案：B

　　50. Which of the following is true about the rules in "particularist" societies?

　　A. They change to fit different situations.

　　B. People respect obey them completely.

　　C. They don't exist.

　　D. No one obeys them.

　　答案：A

　　51. What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A. Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.

　　B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.

　　C. People from mobile societies are more polite.

　　D. Cultural differences are important.

　　答案：A
