A Pay Rise or Not?
“Unless I get a rise, I’ll have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”
George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked
the town he lived in, but his wife kept telling him that his pay
was not enough to meet the needs of the family. That was why he
was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about
50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and
the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford, a medium-sized town. He really liked
the place and didn’t like the idea of moving somewhere else, but
if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family
there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing
electric motors. The company was in deep trouble because, among
other reasons, the Japanese were selling such things at very low
prices. As a result, Manley had to cut his own prices and profits
as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all. Even then,
orders were still not coming in fast enough, so that there was
no money for raises(加工资) for his workers. Somehow, he had to struggle
along and keep his best workers as well. He sighed. Just then
the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as
soon as possible. Manley sighed again. He could guess what it
was about. George Strong was a very young engineer. The Company
had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him. Manley
rubbed his forehead（前额）; his problems seemed endlessl.
16 Henry Manley was already deeply in debt.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 The job that had been offered to George Strong
in Birmingham paid better.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 If George Strong took the job in Birmingham,
he would have to leave his family in Wyeford.

19 Henry Manley’s company was making enough profits
to raise the workers’ wages.

to raise the workers’ wages.

wanted to see him.

Friendly Relations with the people Around
1 You depend on all the people closely around to give you the
warm feeling of belongingness（归属）that you must have to feel secure.
But, In fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong
also depend on you to give that feeling to them. A person who
shows that he wants everything for himsefl in bound（一定的）to be
a lonely wolf.
2 The need for companionship is closely realated to the need for
a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be
if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You
may take it for granted that there always will be people around
to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important
point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend
so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to
establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to
them.
3 Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don’t
know them. When the game is over, you will all go your separate
ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship,
of sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team
you wanted to win.
4 An experience of this kind gives the clue（线索）to what companionship
really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding,
trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties
are formed.
5 When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances（熟人）, you
may not know with whom you will make friends, but you can be sure
that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that
you really like people.
23 Paragraph2 ______________

A Close Link Between Companionship and Belongingness
B How to Satisfy Other People’s Needs

第4部分：阅读理解（第31—45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容，从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇：
What Is Death?
People in the past did not question the difference
between life and death. They could see that a person died when
his heart stopped beating. People have learned, however, that
the body does not die immediately when the heart stops beating.
They discovered that we remain alive as long as our brain remains
active. Today the difference between life and death is not as
easy to see as in the past. Modern medical devices can keep the
heart beating and the lungs breathing long after the brain stops.
But is this life?
This question has caused much debate among citizens in the United
States. Many of them want a law that says a person is dead when
the brain dies. A person should be considered dead when brain
waves stop even if machines can keep the body alive. Such a law
would permit doctors to speed removal(切除) of undiseased（没病的）organs
for transplant（移植） operations.
The brain is made of thousands of millions of nerve cells. These
cells send and receive millions of chemical and electrical messages
every day. In this way the brain controls the other body activities.
Nerve-cell experts say it usually is easy to tell when the brain
has died. They put small electrodes(电极) on a person’s skull (头骨)
to measure the electrical signals that pass in and out of the
brain. These brain waves are recorded on a television screen or
on paper. The waves move up and down every time the brain receives
messages from the nerve cells. The brain is dead when the waves
stop moving.
Although there are people who oppose the idea of a law on brain
block for variouis reasons, the idea of brain wave activity as
a test of death is slowly being accepted.
1.People in the past held that the difference
between life and death
A.was easy to tell.
B.did not exist.
C.lay in the brain.
D.was open to debate.
2.Which of the following is NOT a phenomenon mentioned
in the passage?
A.The heart may keep beating after the brain has died.
B.The body may still be alive after the heart and the brain have
stopped working.
C.The brain may still be active after the heart has stopped beating.
D.The lung may keep breathing after the brain has died.
3. When a person should be consider dead is currently
a matter
A.which has caused heated argument in the US.
B.which few people in the US care much about.
C.which only doctors can settle.
D.which has already been settled.
4. The brain controls the other body activities
through
A.medical devices.
B.small electrodes.
C.the brain waves.
D.the nerve cells.
5. More and more people are beginning to accept
the idea that a person is dead
A.when the heart stops beating.
B.when the brain becomes less active.
C.when doctors stop medical treatment.
D.when the brain stops working.
第二篇：
New foods and the New World
In the last 500 years, nothing about people-not their clothes,
ideas, or languages – has changed as much as what they eat. The
original chocolate was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree(可可树)
by South American Indians. The Spanish Introduced it to the rest
of the world during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive,
it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate
drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still
exit today.
The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish
brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown.
Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people
starved when the crop failed during the “potato Famine(饥荒)” of
1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland
and move to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America
to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction.
Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee
is an important crop in colombia and other South American countries.
But it is native to Ethiopia, a country is Africa. It was first
made into a drink by Aragbs during the 1400’s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person
named kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries
on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide- awake”
feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the
day with.

第三篇：
Giving Up Smoking
A number of devices are available to help a person
quit smoking. Nicotine(尼古丁) patches are small, nicotine-containing
adhesive(粘着性的) discs applied to the skin. The nicotine is slowly
absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream. Over time,
the nicotine dose is reduced and eventually the desire for nicotine
is eased. Nicotine gum works in a similar manner, providing small
doses of nicotine when chewed.
The benefits of giving up smoking include the immediate reduction
of harm to the health of the smoking and easily admission to social
activities and institutions that ban smoking. In a 1988 report,
the U.S. Surgeon General declared cigarette smoking to be more
harmful and expensive than the use of cocaine(可卡因) , alcohol,
or heroin. Recent evidence supports this claim.
The United States government has collected a special tax on cigarettes
for several decades. The rate rose from 8 cents per pack of 20
cigarettes in 1951 to 24 cents per pack in 1993. In other developed
countries, the cigarette tax rate is much higher, ranging from
50 percent in Switzerland to 85 percent in Denmark.
In the United States, the first direct action to check smoking
was the regulation of a warming on cigarette packages by the Federal
Trade Commission. This warning took effect in 1964 and was strengthened
in 1969 to read:“Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That
Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerouis to Your Health.”In 1971 all cigarette
advertising was banned from radio and television, and cities and
states passed laws requiring nonsmoking sections in public places
and workplaces.
1. Which of the following can help a person quit
smoking?
A.Using nicotine patches.
B.Reading cigarette advertisements.
C.Chewing ordinary gum.
D.Participating in social activities.
2. Nicotine gum is used to help a smoker
A.stop smoking
B.reduce weight.
C.clean his teeth.
D.absorb nicotine immediately.
3. The benefits of giving up smoking include all
the following EXCEPT
A.the reduction of expenses.
B.the formation of a good habit.
C.the reduction of harm to one’s health.
D.easier access to institutions that ban smoking.
4.Which of the following is said to be the most
expensive and harmful?
A.Consuming alcohol.
B.Using heroin.
C.Smoking cigarettes.
D.Taking cocaine.
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as
a step to control smoking?
A.Collecting a special tax on cigarettes.
B.Forbidding smoking in all public places.
C.Banning cigarette advertising from radio and TV.
D.Requiring a warning on each cigarette package.

Lowering the Risk of Heart Disease
Like millions of other Americans, I come from
a family with a histotry of the heart disease. My father had his
first three heart attacks when he was only thirty-one. _____________(46)
I grew up with heart disease. It was there, but I didn’t take
it seriouly.
When I was thirty-one, my blood cholesterol（胆固醇）level was measured
for the first time.It was 311 mg/dl, the doctor told me- an extremely
high level that put me at a very high high risk of heart disease,
especially with my family history. He sent me to the National
Institutes of Health（NIH）to be screened for participation in a
clinical trial._____________(47)
At NIH, physicians explained the degree of risk associated with
my blood cholesterol level and the nature of the experiment. This
test involves putting a tube through a leg artery（动脉） up to the
heart._____________（48）
Learning about the risks of the experiment as well sa the risk
associated with my raised blood cholesterol level scared the life
out of me. Although I was excluded from participating in the study,
the experience may well have saved my life.
For the first time, I began to realize the seriousness of high
blood cholesterol.___________(49) But equally important, I got
a taste of what it is like to be a patient, to have tests done
on me and to think of myself as sick.This was hard to take.
This experience taught me two lifesaving lessons. First, although
I felt fit and strong, I was actually at high risk for heart disease
because of my high blood cholesterol level. And with my family
histaory, it could not be ignored.________________(50)
A Second, I could lower my blood cholesterol level
simply by changing what I ate.
B I was three years old at that time.
C There is not enough oxygen in the blood.
D It was a heart attack just waiting to happen
E The trial was designed to test the effect of lowering blood
cholesterol on the risk of heart disease.
F The death rate for the test was only 1 in 100, I was assured.
