Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and the throat and is believed to be related to cancer of the bladder(膀胱) and the oral cavity(口腔). Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males.
Female smokers are thought to be less affected be cause they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply. The majority of physicians and researchers consider these relationships proved to their satisfaction and say. “Give up smoking. If you don’t smoke, don’t start”. Some competent physicians and research workers – though their small number is dwindling(减小) even further-are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They consider the increase in respiratory (呼吸的) diseases and various forms of cancer may possibly be explained by other factors in the complex human environment – atmospheric pollution, increased nervous stress, chemical substances in processed food, or Chemical pesticides that are now being used by farmers in vast Quantities to destroy insects and small animals. Smokers who develop cancer or lung diseases, they say, may also, by coincidence, live in industrial areas, or eat more canned food. Gradually, however, research is isolating all other possible factors and proving them to be statistically irrelevant. While all tobacco smoking affects life expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, nicotine(尼古丁)consumption is not diminished by the latter forms, and current research Indicates relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat.

The significance of trust is that it allows the parties involved in the relationship to indicate how they feel, what they behave, and where they disagree without fear of contradiction or reprisal(报复). Trusting relationship encourage people to disclose their plans and perceptions without hurting them selves or others. Hurt, whether real or imagined, is one of the most harmful consequences of personal relationships with other human beings. In situations which you feel that the other person has the power and intent to hurt you, trust diminishes quickly. Thus a climate of distrust appears in your relations with others. Conversely, if I can say whatever comes to my mind without getting hurt, a climate of trust pervades the relationship. Trust is a perceptual phenomenon that evolves from our experiences with others. If trusting were so easy, we would not need to make such a point of its importance in human relationships. To say that a person should trust others is to diminish the difficulty of producing trust. In mutual relationships, both parties must be have toward one another in trusting ways. Even though it hurts in the pit of the stomach(心窝), you must trust the other person and encourage him or her to say those things that demand a trusting response. No one likes to get hurt and few like to hurt others, especially not those others who are close to us in person-to-person relationships. We avoid expressing our true feelings lest we become the target of a revenging attack from the other person. If I indicate that I do not appreciate having you smoke in my car, I may love you as a friend or I may become the subject of ridicule for allowing little things like that to bother me. If that happens, I will be less open and less trusting of you the next time.

Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:
Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is completed through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to turn to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very lively and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink can be a way of showing that the party is only joking. A nod means agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings. (183 words)

More and more often we hear of people talking about Karaoke. But what on earth it is about, still remains a question for many people.
Karaoke is a sort of acoustic equipment which was originally invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970’s. It means “a band without people” in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy and relax themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore, at times, when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment of the music that came from the equipment.
Shortly after its invention, Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer, or even sometimes you may sing out of tune, you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke. (161 )

Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage:
Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses. But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t permit this, for example, in Korea and China. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street.
In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men don’t kiss or hug when they greet each other. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back.

Questions 26—30 are based on the following passage：
In this experiment, Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson studied the way that innocent subjects might be affected by another person’s expectations. First, they gave an intelligence test to the entire student body at an unnamed primary school in the San Francisco area. Then, they selected students at random and told their teachers that the students’ tests had shown that they were about to experience a period of rapid learning. Teachers did not change their methods or materials for teaching the selected students, but at the end of the year, when the test was administered again, first and second graders who had been selected had, in fact, gained twice as many I.Q. points as other children. The experiments concluded that they had performed better because they had been given more attention.

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage：
Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However， the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly， as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hackers(黑客)。
Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet， looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks， telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.
Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong moneytransaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on som
ebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive down load of information which would call the attention of the consumer.

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage：
For any Englishman， there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：
that of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚)。
Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare， more perhaps than any other writer， made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English； Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand！
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman！) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses 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.

(A) it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet

Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage：
The growth of Liu Yongxing's animal-feed business has made him China's richest man， according to rankings published recently by Forbes magazine. With an estimated net worth of US$1 billion，the 53-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are symbols of the new China.

Part Two Reading Comprehension

In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.
Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
11. Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.
A. records of change in his own intelligence
B. work with peoples in different climates
C. records of temperature changes
D. all of the above
12. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.
A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
B. some effect on most people’s intelligence
C. effect on only a few people’s intelligence
D. no effect on people’s intelligence
13. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.
A. there are some things making all nature different from before
B. it lasts longer than the other seasons
C. it is neither too warm nor too cold
D. it is more natural for the development of mental abilities
14. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.
A. spring and fall
B. winter and summer
C. summer and spring
D. fall and winter
15. According to the selection, vacations from thinking should be taken ___________.
A. several times throughout the year
B. during spring and fall
C. during the summer
D. as seldom as possible
Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:
The potential of closed circuit television and other new electronic teaching tools is so great that it is inspiring to imagine “The school of tomorrow”. Televised lessons will be given in a central building having perhaps four or five master studios. The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire country. After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take over for the all important “follow-up” period. The students will ask troublesome questions and difficult points will be cleared up through discussion.
The teacher in the class will have additional electronic tools. On the teacher’s desk, the traditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape players. The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by head phones. The lessons will be specifically connected closely to the students’levels of ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, each student will receive an individual history lesson directed to his particular level of ability.
Should questions arise, the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual “intercom ” without disturbing the rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct as many as three classes at the same time.

Questions21-26 are based on the following passage:
Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian, son of a white trader and an Indian woman. At an early age, he became fascinated by “the talking leaf,” an expression that he used to describe the white man’s written records. Although many believe this “talking leaf’ to be a gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept that theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his determination to remedy the situation led to the invention of a unique 86-character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard. His family and friends thought him mad, but while recovering from a hunting accident, he diligently and independently set out to create a form of communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write.
Sequoyah’s desire to preserve words and events for later generation has caused him to be remembered among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called “sequoias” in his honor, will further imprint his name in history.
21. What is the most important reason that Sequoyah will be remembered?
A. California redwoods were named in his honor.

C. They decided to help him.
D. They asked him to teach them to read and write.
23. What prompted Sequoyah to develop his alphabet?
A. People were writing things about him that he couldn’t t read.
B. He wanted to become famous.
C. After his hunting accident, he needed something to keep him busy.
D. Future generations.
24. How would you describe Sequoyah?

B. Mad.
C. Backward.
D. Meek/obedient
25. Which of the following is not true?

Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:
China has refuted recent United States criticism about its exchange rate policy, restating its principles of independence and responsibility in handling the issue. "On this issue, China has always been independent and highly responsible, on which the international community has long agreed," said a spokesman from SAFE. Speculation that the exchange rate of the Chinese currency, known as RMB, would rise under foreign pressure reduced after US Treasury Secretary John Snow's visit to Beijing earlier this month. He came to press the Chinese Government to revalue the currency. But US Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans soon stepped up criticism, accusing the country of backsliding on the promises to ease restrictions on foreign companies, remove trade barriers and stop software piracy (盗版).
The SAFE spokesman reiterated that China will continue to maintain the basic stability of the renminbi's exchange rate, which he said has not only helped promote China's reform and opening-up and stimulate domestic demand, but contributed to the fight against the Asian financial crisis.

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:
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. You will open the door using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:
Tokyo is one of the largest cities in the world. It is also one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt. In 1923 a major earthquake stuck the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings collapsed and fires broke out throughout Tokyo. It took seven years to rebuild the city.

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.
