You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought daughter should give one or two of her new books to a litter neighbor boy named Robert.
Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. ”after all, that leaves you with nine,” said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist, and couldn’t shut his big stupid mouth on the subject.
A few weeks later, the father went to his library to look up” father” in the Oxford English Dictionary, to feast his eyes on the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn’t find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too-A-B, l-M, V-Z.
“A man came to the door this morning, ” said his little daughter, “ and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leaves you with nine. ”

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feeling by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?
A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a white lie such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessman is supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.”
6. This passage tells us that ____.
A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated.
B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest.
C. telling lies is something necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings.
D. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases.

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.
Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “the privileged ones,” and his research shows that too much money in family can cause as many problems as too little.” Obviously there are certain advantage to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor,” such as better health, education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”
It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them that spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which cause feelings of restlessness.
“But privileged children do have a better sense of their position in world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However, they will have a sense of isolation, ” warns Dr Coles, ”and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.”
Today wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their family are as rich in love as they are in money.
11. In his book ”the privileged ones”, Dr Coles implies that _____
A. there is fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family
B. rich children live a life of separation from the world
C. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children
D. the quality of rich children family life may not be high
12. In the doctor’s view, _______
A. there is both advantages and disadvantages to being rich
B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children
C. rich children usually have little confidence in themselves
D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury
13. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. rich children usually lead a life of happiness
B. rich children have earned what they have
C. rich children tend to feel isolated
D. rich children are hardly given too many material things
14. According to the author of the passage
A. life is really a long journey for rich children
B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents
C. it is most important for wealthy parents to make sure that their family are rich in love as well as in money
D. today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problem their money can bring
15. It seems that the author of the passage ____what Dr Coles says in the book” the privileged ones”
A. knows little about B. is doubtful about
C. is opposed to D. agree with
Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values-this can’t be repeated too often-are not necessary our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and older are not necessary the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relations so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this conception of personal freedom to the point of where serious risks are in taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operation are painful experiences, however good the result is. And at what point should you cease to treat the old baby? Is it morally right to try push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forget old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctor or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that where there is life, there is hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleased depends less on money or health than it dose on your ability to have heavy fun.
16. It is implied in paragraph 1 that _____
A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B. social services have nothing to do with very old people
C. very old people would love to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom
D. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean

A. health and safety are more important than personal freedom
B. personal freedom is more important than health and safety
C．Old people should keep their rooms clean
D. One should not take risks delimit old people

A. the human body can’t be compared to a car
B. the older a person is，the more care he needs
C．too much emphasizes have been put on old peoples’ values
D it is easy to provide spare parts for old people
19. The word “it” the last paragraph orders to、．
A. the conclusion you have come to
B. whether age is happy or unpleasant
