SectionA
FormatⅠ（共 20 小题，每小题 2 分，共 40 分）
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.
Passage one
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Karen Christiansen Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon,she and her future husband will be sending out invitations for their June wedding.Meanwhile,on the other side of the world,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai,China.She knows she will have a long wait---maybe four hours.It’s May 18th,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.
Weddings are a special event in every culture.People begin new lives together and families are joined together. “Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions at weddings,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.
As Kerry plans her wedding,her aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs,according to an old custom.They read the traditional poem, “Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue”Female friends and relatives gather around.preparing the bride for the ceremony.
Many wedding traditions in western cultures were designed to protect the couple from bad luck. “The wedding veil is a Greek custom,to hide the bride from evil

spirits,”says Maxine. “The Romans developed the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women dressed like the bride) to confuse the spirits.Also,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare away the evil spirits.”
In China,thousands of couples that have chosen May 18th for their wedding day. “In the past,Chinese couples consulted a special book to find lucky and unlucky days for getting married ” explains Maxine. “But in modern times,a new tradition is being formed.” The eighteenth day of the fifth month,five-one-eight or “ wu yao ba ” as it is called in China,sounds very close to “ wo yao fa ” or “I will get rich.” This is considered a omen for any couples getting married on this day.
Some people don’t think it is a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “It’s silly and superstitious,” a newspaper reporter wrote.Hairdressers,and owners of flower stores,restaurants and car services say it’s the best day of the year.They can raise their prices for this one day and their services will still be fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.”

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “How are you ?” will do.
People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is
2
dinnertime--it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,he’s getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you are able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food---after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,saying “Mummy,aren’t I doing good dinner eating ? ”---all without having one word a spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.
This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are “ real attention seekers ” in a loud and extravert ( 外向的) way,and there are the shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a “ sociable ” way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.
6.What will children probably do to get parents attention ? A.They will get quiet for a long time.
B.They will ignore their parents. C.They will behave naughtily. D. They will get crossly easily.
7.What does the phrase “ the easy trap to fall into ” means ? A. A set-up situation parents are likely to go into. B. The household work that parents can not avoid. C. Some tempting food children easily love to eat. D. A bad habit children easily develop.
8. An effective way to make children behave themselves may to be ?
A. Scold them severely B. Teach them what to do
C. Give them total freedom D. Praise their sisters or brothers
9. “ Real attention seekers ” in the last paragraph are probably those ______ ?
A. motivate others to learn B. associate with shy types
C. reply on negative attention D. arouse others’ attention openly
10.What point does the author make by relating to children’s behavior ? A.Children’s upbringing needs parents’ constant care.
B.Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable. C.Both
children and adults need to be seen as worthwhile. D.The motivation of children differs greatly from that of adults.

Passage Three
Questions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of south Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the west.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has been holy in another way.
It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers 14 years to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believe it possible: carving and blasting the six-story faces of Washington.Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia: Washington’ eyes are each 11 feet wide,and his nose is 26 feet long.Mr.Lincoln, sports a mole that measures 16 inches across.
Just 17 miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite,this memorial,when completed somewhere around 2050,after a century’s labor,this depict Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at 563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.
From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful 14-mile Needles Highway,past billion-year-old Granite hills,so Sylvan lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Altematively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in 1972.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of buffalo roam.

15.Who is the 30 president of the US ? A. Thomas Jefferson. B. Teddy Roosevelt. C. Abraham Lincoln. D. Calvin Coolidge.
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning form their female counterparts, a report claims today.
The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.
A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate.By way of contrast, a similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.
Management today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.
The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. a five-year study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.
In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.
16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ?
A.A magazine B.A newspaper
C.A government white paper D.A university Journal
17.According to the passage,male manager tend to ________. A.be more selfless in teamwork
B.ask more questions when surveyed C.be considerate leaders in company D.claim the contribution
18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?
