Questions 1～5 are besed on the following passage.
Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though matchmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.
Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.
In Confucius Korea, where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.
The business of continuing the family lineage （血统）and keeping the blooding pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested.
For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.
Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends.
But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man in the country who has not gone through this process --- sometimes six or seven times. 1. The word “matchmaking” in the passage means ____. A. a very formal ritual（仪式）attended by boys and girls
B. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriage C. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigarette D. arranging games between men and women
2. The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels
suggests that ____.
A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very much B. men and women want to meet as many times as possible C. they are busy with communicating with different people
D. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred
3. Why does the matching still exist in Korea?
A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic. B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.
C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance. D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines. 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.
B. From the signal the boy’s parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not. C. At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners. D. Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting. 5. The passage is mainly about ____. A. the practice of matchmaking in Korea B. the importance of a business contract C. the work of professional matchmakers
D. the first meeting between men and women Passage Two
Questions 6～10 are based on the following passage.
In the university Jim was a fast-tracker. He made good grades with little effort, and his
classmates thought of him “most likely to succeed”. After graduation, he joined a large company and at first did well. However, he switched to several smaller companies where the same pattern developed time and again: well-liked, regarded as a fast-tracker. People wonder why he isn’t doing better.
Then there was Tom who was always regarded as “average”. However, he set his goals high, thenfound a way to achieve his goal. Today he owns a million-dollar company.
Researchers have found that school performance is little related to job performance. Qualities like “steady and dependable” and “practical and organized” are more important. “You don’t need talent to succeed”, insist some experts. “All you need is a big pot of glue (胶水). You put some on your chair, you sit down, and you stick to every project until you’ve done the best you can do.” Average achievers stay glued to their chairs and postpone pleasure so they can receive future benefits. Many fast-trackers, on the other hand, expect too much too soon. When rewards don’t materialize instantly, they may become disappointed and unhappy. 6.

Questions 11～15 are based on the following passage.
From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our
surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in hand we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because theyresemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the pages we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay for our way, no airship or ocean liner or streamlined train to transport us, no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains or cross the
scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The
beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read. 11. The main idea in the first paragraph is ____.
A. pleasure can only be derived from reading good books B. a good book may distract our attention
C. people can read good books in different ways
D. enjoyment and satisfaction can be derived from reading good books 12. The main reason that people like their acquaintances in books is ____. A. they are like human friends exactly
B. they never bore us in comparison with our human friends C. they never hurt our feelings
D. they give human beings friendship, sympathy and encouragement 13. We forget our surroundings and even our identity because ____.
A. the reading environment is very good
B. the book is extremely interesting and attractive C. we are alone and no one interrupts us
D. we are asked to return the book the second day 14. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. All of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. B. We can travel by book free of charge to our heart’s content.
C. We should rely on reading to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life. D. Valuable experiences can be obtained from reading good books. 15. “The whole world is ours for the asking” implies that ____. A. the world is more accessible in books than in reality B. the world is easy to travel around as long as we walk C. the world belongs to us whenever we ask D. round-world trips can be made by everyone
Passage Four（非英语专业做）
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Increasingly over the past ten years, people --- especially young people --- have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.
Natural foods, for example, include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount --- but not the quality --- of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.
It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating”.
16. People have become more interested in natural foods because ____. A. they like changing their diet from time to time B. they want to eat food that is more delicious
C. much of the food they eat is no longer considered to be healthy D. they want to be fashionable
17. Soil that is rich in organic matter ____. A. has nothing nutritious added to it
