PART V READING COMPREHENSION 【25 MIN】

In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D．Choose the one that you think is the best answer．Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two．

TEXT A

Saying“thank you”i s probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language．After all，we?re brought up to be polite，and it is important to make a good impression upon other people—especially across national divides．

So．what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20th most popular way to express gratitude? According to a recent survey,19 other ways of expressing appreciation finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people．

Pollsters found almost half of those asked preferred the more informal“cheers”，while others liked to use such expressions as“ta”,“great" and“nice one”．

So，just what is the appropriate form of words to express your thanks?

Fortunately, the clue is in the language itself．“Cheers”，despite its popularity，is considered an informal way to say thank you—and this is a definite clue as to when you can best use it．

For instance，when going for a drink with friends，a smile and a“cheers”by way of thanks is not only appropriate to the situation，it is also culturally accurate．

“Ta”，originated from the Danish word“tak”, was the second-most popular expression of thanks，and is also commonly used in informal situations，along with phrases such as“nice one”，and“brilliant”．Interestingly, one word that didn?t make it into the top 20 was“thanks”．Thank you's shorter, more informal cousin．

“Thanks”can be useful，as it is able to bridge the divide between the formality of “thank you" and the downright relaxed“cheers”．

Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight．Again，the words themselves offer the clue as to when best to use them．

For example，words like“awesome”，“brilliant" and“you star" featured highly in the new poll and they can hint at both your pleasure at someone's action，as well as serving to express your thanks．If you are on the receiving end of a“new”thank you，you can respond with a simple“no problem”, or“sure”．

Of course，in certain circumstances，a simple wave，nod or smile may be appropriate．For instance，if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road，simply raising your hand in acknowledgement is enough to show that you appreciate the driver's consideration．

Sometimes，formality is necessary, and“thank you”is still the best choice in such situations．

But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions．

Many people in Western countries are worried that good manners are in decline．People are

tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without comment．So don?t think that your

“thank you”was clums y or awkwardly formal．The chances are，if you said “thank you”，you made someone?s day．You star．

81．We can tell from the results of the poll that

A．people are unconcerned about politeness nowadays．

B．“thank you”remains the best expression of gratitud e．

C．there is a variety of expressions of appreciation．

D．there are more formal expressions than informal ones．

82．Which word/phrase does NOT appear in the top 20?

A．Cheers．B．Thanks．C．Brilliant．D．You star．

83．According to the passage．which is an appropriate response to“awesome”or“brilliant”?

A．Thanks．B．Cheers．C．Nice one．D．Sure．

84．According to the passage，the way in which we express our gratitude depends on all the following EXCEPT

A．gender．B．formality．C．culture．D．circumstance．

85．In the last paragraph the author encourages people to

A．continue their acts of kindness．

B．behave themselves well．

C．show their gratitude to others．

D．stop worrying about bad manners．

TEXT B

From 2007 to 2010，American households lost $l1 trillion in real estate，savings, and stocks More than half of all U．S．workers either lost their jobs or were forced to take cuts in hours or pay during the recession．The worst may be behind them now, but the shocking losses of the past few years have reshaped nearly every facet of their lives—how they live，work，and spend—even the way they think about the future．

For Cindy, the recession began when her husband was relocated to Rhinelander, Wisconsin．by his company forcing the family to move in a hurry．The couple bought a new house but were unable to sell their two-bedroom home in Big Lake，Minnesota．With two mortgages(抵押借款) and two young children to care for, Cindy couldn't imagine how to stretch her husband's paycheck to keep her family fed．

Then she stumbled upon an online community called Blotanical，a forum for gardeners，many with an interest in sustainability．“The more I read and discussed these practices，the more I realized this would help not only our budget but also our health，”she says．

Cindy admits that before the recession，she was a city girl with no interest in growing her own dinner．“I grew flowers mostly—I didn?t think about plants that weren?t visually interesting." But to stretch her budget，she began putting in vegetables and fruit—everything from strawberry beds to apple trees—and as her first seedlings grew，her spirits lifted．She no longer thinks of gardening and making her own jams as just a money saver；they?re a genuine pleasure．“It?s brought us closer together as a family, too，”she says．Her kids voluntarily pitch in with(主动帮助)the garden work，and the family cooks together instead of eating out．The food tastes better —it's fresher and organic —and the garden handily fulfills its original purpose：cost cutting．Now she spends about $200 to $300 a month on groceries．less than half of the $650 a month that she used to lay out．

After discovering how resourceful she can be in tough times，Cindy is no longer easily discouraged．“It makes me feel proud to be able to say I made it myself,”she says．“I feel accomplished，and I'm more confident about attempting things I've never done before．" Now she avoids convenience stores and has begun learning to knit，quilt，and make her own soap．"I don't think I would have ever begun this journey if it weren?t for the rece ssion，”she says．“I have a feeling that from now on，it will affect my family?s health and happiness for the better．"

86．We learn from the first paragraph that the recession

A．affected Americans in certain occupations．

B．had great impact on Americans?w ork and life．

C．had only brought huge losses in savings and stocks．

D．is over with some of the losses recovered.

87．What made the family's financial situation even worse was that they A．moved to Rhinelander in a hurry．

B．had two children to raise．

C．didn't know anyone in Rhinelander．

D．couldn't sell their home in Big Lake．

88．Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A．Cindy had seen the benefits of gardening in a different way．

B．Cindy had developed a hobby of gardening before the recession．C．Cindy had already had a keen interest in sustainability．

D．Cindy had already planned to meet the gardeners．

89．In addition, Cindy views gardening as a genuine pleasure because gardening A．helped her cut living costs almost by half．

B．enabled her to make her own jams．

C．built up family ties and kids?enthusiasm．

D．enabled her to know more about plants．

90．What does Cindy think of the difficult times she has gone through?

A．It gave the couple and their kids a tough lesson．

B．It gave her confidence and optimism．

C．It would come again and affect the family．

D．It left a lasting psychological impact on the family．

TEXT C

“I'm a little worried about my future，”said Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate．He should be so lucky．All he had to worry about was whether to have an affair with Mrs Robinson．In the sixties，that was the sum total of post-graduation anxiety syndrome．

Hoffman's modern counterparts are not so fortunate．The Mrs Robinsons aren't sitting around at home any more，seducing graduates．They are out in the workplace，doing the high-powered jobs the graduates want，but cannot get．For those fresh out of university, desperate for work but unable to get it，there is a big imbalance between supply and demand．And there is no narrowing of the gap in sight．

The latest unemployment figures show that 746,000 of 18-24 year-olds are unemployed— a record rate of 18 per cent．Many of those will have graduated this summer．They are not panicking yet，but as the job rejections mount up，they are beginning to feel alarmed．

Of course，it is easy to blame the Government and，in particular, the target that Labour has long trumpeted---50 per cent of school-leavers in higher education．That was not too smart．The Government has not only failed to meet its target—the actual figure is still closer to 40 per cent—but it has raised expectations to unrealistic levels．

Parents feel as badly let down as the young people themselves．Middle-class families see their graduate offspring on the dole(救济金)queue and wonder why they bothered paying school fees．Working-class families feel an even keener sense of disappointment．For many such families，getting a child into university was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream．It represented upward social and financial mobility．It was proof that they were living in a dynamic，economically successful country．That dream does not seem so rosy now．

Graduate unemployment is not，ultimately, a political problem ready to be

solved．Job-creation schemes for graduates are very low down in ministerial in-trays．If David Cameron's Conservatives had a brilliant idea for guaranteeing every graduate a well-paid job，they would have unveiled it by now．It is a social problem，though a more deep-seated social problem than people perhaps realize．

91．The author begins with an episode from The Graduate in order to

A．support the fact that more women are working now．

B．show that few graduates started working right after graduation．

C．demonstrate that there were much fewer graduates than now．

D．emphasize the sharp contrast between now and then．

92．With regard to job opportunities for young graduates，the author sounds

A．pessimistic．B．hopeful．C．indifierent．D．furious．

93．The author is ____ the Labour Government's target：50% of school leavers in higher education．

A．in favour of B．doubtful about

C．strongly critical of D．mildly critical of

94．Which of the following statements about parents?feelings is CORRECT?

A．Working—class parents feel just as disappointed．

B．Parents and their children feel equally disappointed．

C．Middle—class parents feel more disappointed．

D．Parents feel more disappointed than their children．

95．Towards the end of the passage，the author implies that

A．there will be job-creation schemes for graduates．

B．graduate unemployment is more of a political issue．

C．graduate unemployment is both a political and a social issue．

D．the Conservatives are doing far from enough to solve the issue．

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don' t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don' t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other' s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn' t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can' t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either. Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn' t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up. 1.According to the author, ___.
