阅读Directions:There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four choices marked A ,B,C and D . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.   Passage l

  There are stories about two U.S.presidents,Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren,which attempt to explain the American English term 0K.We don’t know if either story is true,but they are both interesting.  The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education . In fact , he had difficulty reading and writing . When important papers came to Jackson ,he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said . If he approved of a paper , he would write“all correct”on it.The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell,so what he really wrote was“ol korekt”.After a while,he shortened that term to “OK”.

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born , Kinderhook , New York . Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President . They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club,and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”.   1.The author_________.

Passage 2

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society . Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry( 林 业 ) , and most of the rest live in or around towns,small and large.Here the traditional picture is changing:every small town may still be very like other small towns,and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country,but most Americans do not live in small towns any more . Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(large cities with their suburbs)of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England , let alone France . The statistics( 统 计 )of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day .As the rush to live out of town continues , rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses,so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb . But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.     1 . If now America has 250 million people , how many of them are

engaged in agriculture and forestry?   A.About 25 million. B.More than 25 million.   C.Less than 25 million. D.Less than 225 million.    2 . Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of

people living in metropolitan areas?   A.United States. B.Germany.C.France.D.England.    3 . What’s the meaning of the word“metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?   A.Of a large city with its suburbs. B.Of small and large towns.   C.Of urban areas. D.Of rural areas.  4.According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns In the

United States?   A.Most small towns become gradually crowded.   B.Small towns are Still Similar to each other.   C.As the traditional picture is changing,towns are different.   D.Small towns are turning into large cities.  5.Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?

Page 3:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

   A.Because they are the same.   B.Because the rush takes place too quickly.   C.Because the process is gradual.

D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3

    If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago , we should probably have to say that we could not remember.But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day,we should be able to give an answer to the question.  It is the same in history.Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them.Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country ,but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war . Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write . For example,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4 ,000 years ago,because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them . But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even200 years ago in central Africa,because they had not learned to write.

Sometimes,of course,even if the people cannot write,they may know something of the past . They have heard about it from older people , and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings , and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations.For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past .This we may call’remembered history’ .Some of it has now been written down . It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing . But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.  1.Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?    A . “ Remembered history” , compared with written history , is less reliable.    B . Written records of the past play the most important role in our

learning of the human history.   C.A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer

many questions.   D.Where there are no written records,there is no history.    2 . We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because_________.   A.there was nothing worth being written down at that time   B.the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record   C.the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire

Page 4:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

   D.the people there did not know how to write  3.“Remembered history”refers to_________.   A.history based on a person’s imagination   B.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth   C.songs and dances about the most important events   D.both B and C  4.“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when_________.   A.it is written down B.no written account is available

C.it proves to be true D.people are interested in it 5 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about

our past than we do now if the ancient people had_________.   A.kept a written record of every past event   B.not burnt their written records in wars   C.told exact stories of the most important happenings

D.made more songs and dances

Passage 4

  When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious,“Why did she live to be 107 ? ” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place,city living often provides benefits that country living can lack .One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed.    This factor is exercise . In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus . Even taking public transportation often requires some walking . Smaller apartment houses have no elevators( 电 梯 ) ,and so people must climb stairs . City people can usually walk to local supermarkets . Since parking spaces are hard to find , there is often no alternative to walking.

On the other hand , those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day . In fact , the opposite is often true . To go to school,work,or almost anywhere else,they must ride in cars.  1.The Vienna survey may help to explain_________.   A.the complaints of people in apartment houses   B.the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death   C.the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger   D.the image of cities in general  2.The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some_________.   A.benefits of walking   B.occasions for walking in city life   C.comments made by city people

Page 5:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

   D.problems of city living    3 . To reach the third floor of a building , it would probably be most

healthful_________.   A.to take the elevator B.to walk up the stairs   C.to ride in a car D.to find an alternative to walking  4.People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking

because_________.   A.they don’t live near business areas   B.they don’t need the exercise   C.they never have parking problems   D.they can’t afford to take the bus  5.A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that_________.   A.air pollution is not serious   B.anyone can live to be 107   C.country people should move to the city

D.walking is a healthful exercise

   Passage 5

  For any Englishman,there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest dramatist(剧作家).Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him : that of William Shakespeare . Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of the work of our greatest writer.All of us use words , phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the coon property of the English -speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.  Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,makes full use of the great resources of the English language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English ; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not,of course , recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many words,have changed since Shakespeare’s day.   1.English people_________.   A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest dramatist   B.never discuss any issue concerning the world’s greatest dramatist   C.are sure who is the world’s greatest dramatist   D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and dramatist

  2.Every Englishman knows_________.   A.more or less about Shakespeare   B.Shakespeare,but only slightly   C.all Shakespeare’s writings   D.only the name of the greatest English writer  3.Which of the following is true?    A.We use all the words ,phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.   B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are

learning to speak English.   C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the

words they use.   D.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.  4.What does the word“proverb”mean?   _________.   A.Familiar sayings. B.Shakespeare’s plays.   C.Complaints. D.Actors and actresses.  5.Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare

used English?   _________.   A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time.    B . By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.    C . English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time.

D . Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.   Passage 6

  Trees are useful to man in three very important ways :they provide him wood and other products ; they give him shade ; and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods.  Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees,he has cut them down in large numbers.  Two thousand years ago,a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships , with which to gain itself an empire . It gained the empire but,without its trees,its soil became bare and poor.When the empire fe11 to pieces,the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.  Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this.They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees .So,unless the government has a good system of control , or can educate the

Page 7:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

people,the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees .The results are

even more serious : for where there are trees , their roots break the soil up,allowing the rain to sink in,and also bind the soil.This prevents the soil from being washed away.But where there are no trees,the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface ,and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow . When all the topsoil is gone,nothing remains but worthless desert.  1.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways,the most important of

which is that they can_________.   A.keep him from the hot sunshine   B.enable him to build warships   C.make him draw quick profit from them   D.protect him from droughts and floods  2.It’s a great pity that_________.   A.man is only interested in building empires   B.man is eager to profit from trees   C.man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him   D.man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees  3.Sooner or later the forests will disappear_________.   A.unless a country has a plenty supply of trees  B.unless people stop cutting down their trees   C.unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees    D . unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them  4.The word“bind”in Paragraph 5 means“_________”.   A.to wash away B.to make wet   C.to make stay together D.to improve  5.When there is a heavy rain,trees can help to prevent floods,as they can _________.   A.keep rain from falling down to soft ground   B.cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in   C.prevent the soil from being washed away

D.make the topsoil stick together

Passage 7

  Dr.Harvey Gates,the noted scientist,might never have discovered the Kamron lizard (蜥蜴)in Blovia,if it had not been for a childhood accident.As a boy,he was determined to become a baseball player,but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while , he took notice of the natural world around him and liked What he saw.

  I was due to take my driving test at 11∶30 am.It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9∶50 am , my heart sank.My driving instructor,Stan,said something,trying to drive away my fears,but I was not impressed.  We set off for the test center with an hour to go.I wanted a run round the test circuit ( 圈 ),but we got stuck in a traffic jam ,and could only drive no faster than walking.  We arrived at the test center at 11 am.Stan made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective( 各 自的 )examiners . Their instructors were looking out from two windows . We watched them drive off.They must have been feeling very nervous.  Stan took me round the probable test track,pointing out the traps.The weather became even worse . It seemed to make me feel worse too . I had developed a couldn’t-care-less mood,and was almost calm.We returned to the test center in time to see the six unfortunates returning . Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.

   Passage 9

    The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal ,such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes - toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics . The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal,such as writing a dissertation( 学位论文 )or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal . In either case , our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.    The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries . In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully.In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource . Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.

Passage 10

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence.They show that he was learning Latin,was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society,and was reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics . In fact , his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman , and incomplete.For unlike other young Virginian of that day,he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg.In terms of formal training then,Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams , Thomas Jefferson and James Madison . In later years , Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training .He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress ( 国会 ) , or on any subject that had not to do with everyday , practical matters.And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders , he did not visit the country he admired so much.Thus,unlike Jefferson and Adams,he never reached Europe. 1.Why didn’t Washington go to college? A.His family could not afford it. B.A college education was rather uncommon in his time. C.He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen. D.The author doesn’t give any reason. 2 . Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he__________. A.lacked practice in public speaking B.felt his education was not good enough C.didn’t like arguing and debating with people D.felt that debating was like intellectual training 3 . The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he__________. A.didn’t really care about going B.didn’t know French leaders C.couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders D.was too busy to travel 4.According to the author,__________. A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in

later life B . Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French

Page 12:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

C . Washington was not as good a president as Adams , Jefferson or Madison D.Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen 5.The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education__________. A.was of great variety,covering many subjects B.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time C.may seem poor by modern standards,but was good enough for his time

D.was rather limited for a president

Passage 11

Like most people , I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting . It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery : giving - away makes life so much more exciting . You need not worry if you lack money.This is how I experimented with giving-away.If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper .One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back,though the return often comes in an unexpected form.One Sunday morning the coal post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home,though it was addressed to me at my office.I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation.More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting.I was told at the window that there were no boxes left,and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As I was about to leave,the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes.“well,you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You don’t know what a letter like that means to us.We usually get nothing but complaints.” 1.From the passage,we understand that__________. A.the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in

late thirties B.the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers C . the author received the same education as most people during his childhood D.the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 2.According to the author__________. A.giving means you will lack money B.the excitement of giving can bring you money

Page 13:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

C.you don’t have to be rich in order to give D.when you give away money, you will be rich 3.The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper__________. A.in writing B.in person C.in the window display D.about the neighborhood 4.When the author needed a pest-office box,__________. A.he had to put his name on a waiting list B.he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation C.many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D.he asked the postmaster to make one for him 5.In reply to the postmaster’s question,the author said__________. A.it was the special delivery B.it was the post-office box C.it was the note of appreciation he wrote

D.it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago

Passage 12

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families . Television is the most significant of these influences , because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children . The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them . Studies indicate that , when children are exposed to violence , they many become aggressive or insecure. Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television . Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children . And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers. Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of . The most famous of these is Sesame Street , which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet ( 字 母 ) and numbers . It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

Passage 13

We can make mistakes at any age . Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job,did Jerry really feel good about it,as a friend?Or did he envy my luck?”When we look back,doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back,it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends—or our enemies?Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning .And if we don’t really listen ,we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you,“you’re a lucky dog” . Is he really on your side ? If he says , “Yon’re lucky guy”or“Yon’re a lucky gal” , that’s being friendly . But“lucky dog” ? There’s a bit of envy in those words . Maybe he doesn’t see it himself . But bringing in the“dog”bit puts you down a little .What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words?One way is

Page 15:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks?Does what he says square with the tone of voice ?His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes?Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake. 1 . From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the

speaker__________. A.feels happy,thinking of how nice his friends were to him B.feels he may not have“read”his friends’ true feelings correctly C.thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend,Helen D.is sorry that his friends let him down 2.In the second paragraph,the author uses the example of“You’re a lucky

dog”to show that__________. A.the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly B.this saying means the same as“You’re a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky

gal” C . sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling

behind the words D.the word“dog”shouldn’t be used to apply to people 3.This passage tries to tell you how to_______. A.avoid mistakes about money and friends B.bring the“dog”bit into our conversation C.avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D.keep people friendly without trusting them 4.In listening to a person,the important thing is__________. A.to notice his tone,his posture,and the look in his eyes B.to listen to how he pronounces his words C. to check his words against his manner ,his tone of voice ,and his posture D.not to believe what he says 5.If you followed the advice of the writer,you would__________.

Passage 14

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris ? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V . By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense.Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison.It was not an ordinary prison to punish coon crimes.Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King .

had to stand with their faces to the wall .No talking was allowed .Worst of all,a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day ,a week,a year,or forever.Only the King’s letter could set him free. Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer.By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions ( 贪 朽 腐 败 ) of the government.Voltaire,the famous French writer,spent a year there in 1717~1718,and another 12 days in 1726.

Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred years ago, news of important happening—battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown ( 推 翻 )or killed—took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of month and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisement. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country.

Passage 16

One silly question I simply can’t stand is“How do you feel” . Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go , walking along the street,or busily working at his desk .So what do you expect him to say ?He’11 probably say , “ Fine , I’m all right . ” But “you’ve put a bug in his ear”—maybe now he’s not sure.If you are a good friend,you may have seen something in his face,or his walk,that he did not realize that morning . It starts him worrying a little.First thing you know,he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right , while you go merrily on your way asking someone else,“How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place . It’s perfectly acceptable , for instance, to ask “How do you feel ? ” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital . But if the fellow is walking on born legs , hurrying to make a train , or sitting at his desk working , it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw , the famous writer of plays was in his eighties , someone asked him“How do you feel” , Shaw put him in his place . “ When you reach my age” , he said , “ either you feel all right or you’re dead.” 1 .

A.be praised for his efforts B.never be asked any question C.not be bothered D.be discouraged from working so hard 4.George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his__________. A.cheerfulness B.cleverness C.ability D.politeness 5.“You’ve put a bug in his ear”means that you’ve__________. A.made him laugh B.shown concern for him

Passage 17

Page 19:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don’t!”.But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act , although the chances of his becoming famous are slim . The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school . Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted,and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团),usually as an assistant stage manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts.It is very hard work indeed,the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Of course,some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police . It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious . The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

1 . From the very beginning , the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession —__________. A.sought after by too many B.too difficult for young people C.for slim people only D.one can go into without special training 2.For someone who feels he must act,it is very likely that__________. A.he will become a film star at long last g.he will become a stage manager C.he will be well paid D.he will end up without any success 3 . The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was__________. A.at work in a bicycle factory B.driving past him in her car C.going to a film studio D.waiting for a bus 4.A few weeks after the test,Connie Pratt found herself__________. A.the most famous actress of the world

Page 20:   · Web viewB.doesn’t believe a word of the ... in a traffic jam,and could ... made this important discovery:giving-away makes life so much more exciting

B.playing the leading female role in a play C.as famous as the greatest actor of the world D.no less famous than the leading actor of the day 5 . The concluding sentence“chances like this happen once in a blue moon”means A.this is something which happens once in a while B.this is a highly profitable chance C.this is something highly possible

D.this is a very rare chance

Passage 18

Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status . But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits,and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another . So how do people in the business world show their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films.They had two actors play the parts of an executive(经理)and a visitor , and switch roles each time . The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive , while the other , playing the part of a visitor , knocks at the door , opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter. The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status .A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings.The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man.He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk,and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front of the seated executive.

Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering . For the seated executive , his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering . The quicker the visitor entered the room , the more status he had.The longer the executive took to answer,the more status he had. 1 . The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out__________. A.how business os conducted by an executive and a visitor B.how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor C.how to tell businessmen at a glance D.how businessmen indicate status

2.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage? A.The executive has a higher status than the visitor. B.Military people wear uniforms but the businessmen do not. C.A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen. D.It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research. 3 . Having entered the room , the closer the visitor approaches the

executive,__________. A.the less it affected his status B.the lower his status C.the more it affected his status D.the higher his status 4.The longer the seated man was in answering the knock,__________.

A.the higher his status B.the less it affected his status C.the lower his status D.the more it affected his status 5.Which statement is NOT true? A.Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one can tell their

status at a glance. B. In the experiment ,one actor played the executive while the other

played the seated man. C.Business people wear similar suits.

D.The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status.
