二、阅读理解

In 1626, Manhattan Island was purchased（购买）from the Indians by Peter Minuit. It cost about $ 2,400. At first, it was called New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers. Later it was renamed New York by the English.

The city grew rapidly. There were several reasons for this, but the most important one is its location. New York is situated on the best American harbor on the Atlantic Ocean. It also lies on the Hudson River, which allows water transportation into the middle of the United States.

Today New York has a population of approximately eight million. The city has groups from many races. It is famous for its Chinatown. It also has the largest Jewish population of any city outside Israel. After the blacks were released from slavery, a large number of them moved into cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. More recently, people from Puerto Rico have done the same thing.

New York is made up of five boroughs（行政区）. The Bronx is the only one located on the mainland, with Brooklyn, Richmond, and Queens being on islands. It is a large manufacturing center because factories can be located near good water transportation. Two of the main businesses are the clothing industry and the printing industry. Most large publishing companies have their headquarters there.

答案：A

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________

A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.

The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police,should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）. You will open the door using your personal card--the one you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.

二、阅读理解

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable（可再生的）.

Another way is energy conservation（节能）, which means using energy more efficiently. In some very cold countries, people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in.

Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy（地热）. In certain parts of the world, the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade（摄氏）with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. Heat from the earth is already used in some countries.

Jack worked in an office in a small town. One day his boss said to him, "Jack, I want you to go to London to see Mr. Brown in his office."

Jack went to London by train. He left the station, and thought, "The office isn't far from the station. I'll find it easily."

But after an hour he was still looking for it, so he stopped and asked an old lady. She said "Just go along the street, turn to the left at the end, and it's the second buliding on the right." Jack went and found it.

答案：B

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority.

The market is a concept. If you are growing potatoes for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. In either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying potatoes, you will stop producing them.

If your sister looks after a sick person to make money, she is also producing for the market. If your brother is a steelworker or a bus driver or a doctor, he is producing goods or services for the market.

When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, gas station and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery lorry, he is buying your labor in the labor market.

The market may seem to be something abstract（抽象的）. But for each person or business who is making or selling something, it's very real. If nobody buys your potatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are wasting energies and resources in doing something that market doesn't want you to do.

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.

The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police,should the sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）.

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of aspects of everyday life. It is thought that we won't have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games，see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let's look at books，for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead，we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized (计算机化的) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy. Also probably people won't like to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books seem to be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits.

6.In the first paragraph it is thought that people will use computers to play games，go shopping and make telephone calls.

7.Computerized books won't be very expensive is NOT mentioned in the passage.

答案：B

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

11.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)__________

A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.

B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.

C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.

D.Shy people think they are different from others.

答案：B

12.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.

A.a good quality

B.the cause of unhappiness

C.harmful to people

D.a weak point of shy people

答案：A

13.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.

A.good

B.unreal

C.very reasonable

D.harmful

答案：D

14.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________

A.Shyness helps us to develop our potential

B.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better

C.Shyness can block our chances for a rich life

D.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem

答案：C

15.It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.

A.should find more of their weakness
