Ⅵ. Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best answer to each question. (15%)

(1)

An Englishman came to Tokyo with a contract that gave him two weeks paid holiday a year. He took the first. The second, he was warned in a none-too-subtle way, would incur the company's displeasure.

He doggedly persisted with travel plans, On the eve of his planned departure he found his desk piled high with extra work-- a suggestion from management he should stay and work.

August may be holiday time in the Western capitals of the world, but while London, Rome and New York are abandoned to tourists, in Tokyo it is business almost as usual.

Not only do Japanese companies give their staff fewer paid holidays that those in other developed countries, most Japanese do not even take off all the days they are allowed.

The three or four week holidays common in Europe and North America remain a

distant prospect for most Japanese workers, who regard the "workaholic" nickname they were given a decade ago by an irate European Community official with mixed pride and frustration.

1. Which statement is true according to the passage?

A. When an Englishman came to Tokyo to work, he took his holiday first.

B. When an Englishman was employed by a Tokyo company, the first thing for him to do was to go on a holiday.

C. When an Englishman was given a two-week holiday by his Japanese employer, it would be advisable for him to take half as much.

D. No sooner had an English employee come to Tokyo than he enjoyed a two-week holiday given by his employer.

2. It can be concluded that

A. the average Japanese is more obsessed with work than his counterparts in other developed nations.

B. JAPANESE workers are least reluctant to take holidays.

C. JAPANESE employees are most eager to please their bosses.

D. There are so many people competing for jobs in Japan.

3. How do JAPANESE workers react to the epithet given?

A. They feel insulted.

B. They are overwhelmed with conflicting feelings.

C. They think they deserve to be called work freaks.

D. They become furious.

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Rome is swarming with tourists in August.

B. Europeans on the whole won't deny themselves the pleasure of enjoying paid holidays.

C. An European employee in Japan might be hindered from going on a long holiday.

D. Self--discipline and loyalty make the Japanese heat- resistant.

5. This passage may lead us to infer that

A. more marriages will break up in Japan because husbands are spending all their time and energy working.

B. a tradition of hard work and loyalty to the group fostered by Japanese companies, is partly responsible for the reluctance to take holidays .

C. Japanese workers enjoy the challenge, the excitement and the opportunity for growth that their work provides.

D. they are not actually working for the steak. It's the sizzle that fascinates them.

(2)

A mule which will gallop for a half-mile in the single direction elected by its rider even one time becomes a neighbourhood legend; one that will do it consistently time after time is an incredible phenomenon. Because, unlike a horse, a mule is far too intelligent to break its heart for glory running around the rim of a mile-long saucer... A creature capable of but one idea at a time, the horse's strongest quality is timidity and

fear. He can be tricked and cajoled by a child into breaking his limbs or his heart too in running too far, too fast, or jumping things too wide or hard of high; he will eat himself to death if not guarded like a baby. If he had only one gram of the intelligence of the most backward rat, he would be the rider. You can make the mule work for you, but that only within his own rigid self-set regulations. He will not permit himself to run too much. He will draw a wagon or a plough, but he will not run a race. He will not try to jump anything he does not indubitably know beforehand; he will not enter any place unless he knows of his own knowledge what is on the other side; he will work for you patiently for ten years for the chance to kick you once.

6. With respect to eating habits, horses

A. prefer baby food.

B. will eat almost anything.

C. can easily starve to death.

D. don't know when to stop eating.

7. The author of this passage is being

A. humorous

B. moralistic

C. matter-of-fact

D. romantic

8. Rats, according to the author,

A. have brains weighing one gram.

B. are not as intelligent as mules.

C. are more intelligent than horses.

D. are backward and stubborn.

9. Mules are not used for racing because most of them

A. cannot run fast enough.

B. refuse to do it.

C. won't run unless they're sure of winning .

D. won't do it more that once.

10. A mule will work for you as long as

A. you give him enough to eat.

B. he wants to anyway.

C. you work for him in exchange.

D. you are very firm with him.

(3)

I will now teach, offering my way of life to whomsoever desires to commit suicide by the scheme which has enabled me to beat the doctor and the hangman for seventy years. Some of the details may sound untrue, but they are not. I am not here to deceive; I am here to teach.

We have no permanent habits until we are forty. Then they begin to harden, presently they petrify, then business begins. Since forty I have been regular about going to bed and getting up-- and that is one of the main things. I have made it a rule to go to bed when I had to. This has resulted in an unswerving regularity of

irregularity. It has saved me sound, but it would injure another person.

In the matter of diet -- which is another main thing-- I have been persistently strict in sticking to the things which didn't agree with me until one or the other of us got the best of it. Until lately I got the best of it myself. But last spring I stopped frolicking with mince pie after midnight, up to then I had always believed it wasn't loaded. For thirty years I have taken coffee and bread at eight in the morning, and no bite nor sup until seven -thirty in the evening, eleven hours. That is all right for me, and is wholesome, because I have never had a headache in my life, but headachy people would not reach seventy comfortably by that road, and they would be foolish to try it. And If wish to urge upon you this, which I think is wisdom- that if you find you can't make seventy by any but an uncomfortable road, don't you go. When they take off the Pullman and retire you to the rancid smoker, put on your things, count your checks and get out at the first way station where there's a cemetery.

I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time. I have no other restriction as regards smoking. I do not know just when I began to smoke, I only know that it was in my father's lifetime, and that I was discreet. He passed from this life early in 1847, when I was a shade past eleven; ever since then I have smoked publicly. As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain when awake. It is a good rule. I mean, for me; but some of you know quite well that it wouldn't answer for everybody that's trying to get to be seventy.

I smoke in bed until I have to go to sleep; I wake up in the night, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes three times, and I never waste any of these opportunities to smoke. This habit is so old and dear and precious to me that I would feel as you sir, would feel if you should lose the only moral you've got--meaning the chairman-- if you've hot one; I am making no charges. I will grant, here, that I have stopped smoking now and then, for a few months at a time, but it was not on principle. It was only to show off; it was to pulverise those critics who said I was a slave to my habits and couldn't break my bonds.

11. The author's tone in this passage is

A. solemn.

B. gay.

C. ironic.

D. blasphemous.

12. The best title for this passage would be

A. How to Get to Seventy.

B. How to Tell a Funny Story.

C. Smoking and Ageing.

D. My Funny Life.

13. The author's age is probably

A. 70

B. 40

C. mysterious

D. 55

14. This passage was most likely written

A. in 18th century America.

B. in 20th century America.

C. in 19th century America.

D. between 1950 and 1979.

15. Although the author says," I am here to teach," his purpose is really

A. to deceive.

B. to joke.

C. to persuade.

D. to smoke.

THE LOONS 课后习题答案/answer I . 1)The Tonnerres were poor The basis of their dwelling was a small square cabin made of poles and mud, which had been built some fifty years before. As the Tonnerres had increased in number, their settlement had been added, until thc clearing at the foot of the town hill was a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded car tyres, ramshackle chicken coops, tangled strands of barbed wire and rusty tin cans. 2)Sometimes, one of them would get involved in a fight on Main Street and be put for the night in the barred cell underneath the Court House. 3)Because she had had tuberculosis of the bone, and should have a couple of months rest to get better. 4)Her mother first objected to take Piquette along because she was afraid that the girl would spread the disease to her children and she believed that the girl was not hygienic. She then agreed to do so because she preferred Piquette to the narrator's grandmother, who promised not to go along with the family and decided to stay in the city if the girl was taken along. 5)The cottage was called Macleod, their family name. The scenery there was quite beautiful with all kinds of plants and animals at the lakeside. 6)The narrator knew that maybe Piquette was an Indian descendant who knew the woods quite well, so she tried to ask Piquette to go and play in the wood and tell her stories about woods. 7)Because Piquette thought the narrator was scorning and showing contempt for her Indian ancestors, which was just opposite to her original intention. 8)Because the narrator felt somewhat guilty.

The loons disappeared as nature was ruined by civilization. In a similar way, Piquette and her people failed to find their position in modern society.

自考00600《高级英语》背熟段落

高级英语文章中需要背诵的段落(上册) Lesson One 在文单的头三段里，作者以相同的手法描写了三位摇滚歌星的表演盛况。青少年把他们视为偶像，赞美不绝，而成年观众则觉得他们恶心，难以心爱，这反映了青少年和成人社会对摇滚乐截然不同的态度。 In the first three paragraphs, the author describes the wonderful performance of three rock superstars by the same means. Teenagers see them as icons, praising them endlessly, while adult viewers reject them as sick, which shows the different attitudes towards rock music by teenagers and adults. 背诵How do you feel about all this adulation and hero worship? When Mick Jagger’s fans look at him as a high priest or a god, are you with them or against them? Do you share Chris Singer’s almost religious reverence for Bob Dylan? Do you think he – or Dylan – is misguided? Do you reject Alice Cooper as sick? Or are you drawn somehow to this strange clown, perhaps because he asts out your wildest fantasies? Lesson Two 正如本课中所说的，他们当中有些人脱离传统的社会活动，拒绝承担任何社会责任，过着颓废的寄生生活；有些人逃离城市，跑到偏僻的乡间过着原始公社式的生活；有些人则试图以暴力手段改变社会状况，遭到了残酷的镇压。作者认为只有一点一点地改良社会才是青年人应走的道路。 As stated in the text, some of them drop out, rejecting any social responsibility, leading a parasitic life. Others escape from the city to the remote countryside for a primitive life; still others try to reform the society by force, only to be crushed down brutally. According to the writter the only way for the young people is to reform the society piecemeally. 背诵第五段（II Flee………………………flowing the other way） Lesson Three 女孩由于不懂白喉之可怕，不愿被医生发现自己的病情而抗拒医生的检查。而医生作出这一反应是出自社会责任心，也是自身的权威及尊严受到挑战的结果。 doctor responded as a result of social responsibility and the challenge to his authority and dignity.
