16、n this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A）, B）, C） and D）。 You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the space given.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Statuse

17、s are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit” in society. As we about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a libr

18、arian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses tha

19、t various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and electing among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal a

20、nd interpretation. although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to readymade clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume （服装） of a Chinese

21、 peasani or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Further more, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook （钱包）。 Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adj

22、ustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.31. In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us _.A） determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB） behave appropriatel

23、y in relation to other peopleC） protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD） make friends with other people32. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses _.A） in order to identify themselves with othersB） in order to better identify othersC） as their mental processes changeD） as

24、 the situation changes33. The word “appraisal” （Line 5, Para. 2） most probably means “_”。A） involvementB） appreciationC） assessmentD） presentation34. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to “_”。A） fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB） identific

25、ation of other peoples statusesC） selecting ones own statusesD） constant mental process35. By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasantor that of a Hindu prince“ （Lines 2-3, Para. 3）, the writer means _.A） different people have different styles of clothesB） read

26、y made clothes may need alterationsC） statuses come ready made just like clothesD） our choice of statuses is limitedQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but also explain that theres a big differenc

27、e between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”。The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorpaying affair. For every

28、writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer （自由撰稿人）, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even

29、matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write.

30、I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.36. The pa

31、ssage is meant to _.A） warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB） advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC） show young people its unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD） encourage young people to pursue a writing c

32、areer37. What can be concluded from the passageA） Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB） A writers success depends on luck rather than on effort.C） Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D） The chances for a writer to become successful are small.38. Why did t

33、he author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing careerA） He wasnt able to produce a single book.B） He hadnt seen a change for little barter.C） He wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year.D） He found his dream would never come true.39. “ people who die wondering. What if ”（Line

35、aboutB） the bright future that one is looking forward toC） the state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reachedD） a world that exists only in ones imaginationQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to spea

36、k, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken in

37、structions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the develop

38、ment from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since t

39、hese cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire （能发出的全部声音）。 This sel

40、f-imitation leads on to deliberate （有意识的） imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that there imitations can be considered as speech.41. By “ challenges explanation” （Line 2, para. l） the author means that _.A） no

41、explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenonB） no explanation has been made up to nowC） its no easy job to provide an adequate explanationD） its high time that an explanation was provided42. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A） the development of babies early forms of languageB） the d

42、ifficulties of babies in learning to speakC） babies strong desire to communicateD） babies intention to communicate43. The authors purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _.A） usually obey without asking questionsB） are passive in the process of learning to speakC） are born c

43、ooperativeD） learn to speak by listening44. From the passage we learn that _.A） early starters can learn to speak within only six monthsB） children show a strong desire to communicate by making noisesC） imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD） children have various difficulties in le

44、arning to speak45. The best title for this passage would be _.A） How Babies Learn to SpeakB） Early Forms of LanguageC） A Huge Task for ChildrenD） Noise Making and Language LearningQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from wa

45、rm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive （认识派的） researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often de

46、stroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary （金钱的） rewards speaks creativity in gradeschool children, suggesting that properly presented inducements （刺激） indeed aid inve
