Passage one On November 19, 1953, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere. It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day, Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only 9 minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, “I have failed again.” On the way back to Washington, he said sadly, “the speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed.” Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made. Today, every American school child learn Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history. 16. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was _______. A. very critical B. unpopular C. very popular D. very courteous 17. Lincoln was invited to speak because he was _____. A. a famous speaker B. a very handsome man C. President of the country D. a popular statesman 18. It can be inferred from the text that _______. A. Lincoln prepared his speech very carefully before he went to Gettysburg B. Lincoln was very busy then and didn’t have much time to prepared his speech C. Lincoln’s speech was full of rich words D. Lincoln’s speech was very long 19. It was a fact that Lincoln’s speech was ______. A. an immediate success B. warmly applauded C. a total failure D. not well-received at first 20.

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is memorized by every American school child D. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is the greatest speech ever delivered in the United States Passage two We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator, although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole—we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and I would find it quite impossible to live there. At present time only the scientists and explores can do so, and they use special instrument. Men have been traveling across and around the equators on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, it is not true about landings in the polar region, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole is a delight. At 4,000 meters and move above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as your eyes can reach. In the tropics, on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such height such as 18,000 or 20,000 meters. Aero planes can’t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aero plane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low. 21. In the sentence “Millions do it”, “do it ” means ______. A. feeling uncomfortably hot on the equator B. flying over the North Pole C. flying over the equator D. making homes on the equator 22. The polar region is ______ according to the passage. A. a good place to land by aero plane B. a good place to fly over C. a good place to fly first D. a good place to live in 23. It is delight to fly at the Pole because _______ . A. planes fly higher than at the equator B. the eyes can reach about 4,000 meters C. planes are clear of bad weather D. planes fly more quickly than at the equator 24. Aero planes can climb quickly ______. A. in warm weather B. in cold weather C. when it reaches the polar region D. only when the clouds are down low 25. Aero planes usually don’t need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because ______. A. they do not land there B. there are no clouds at all C. they can cross the ice with special instrument D. it is very cold there Passage three The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for the sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market. In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and supplies are always facing keen competition. Under such circumstance, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting, what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercials counselors offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purpose is to make market survey on the spot. Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessman are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations. 26. In making market investigation, one should _______. A. get enough information concerned B. advertise his products C. produce high quality goods D. none of the above 27. The word “indispensable” in the 1st line means ________.

All the following are channels to get market information except ______. A. to have commercial counselor’s offices of our embassies stationed abroad B. to promote the quality of our own products C. to send trade groups abroad every now and then D. to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen Passage four In some ways, the U.S. has made great progress in fire prevention. It has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire. But even with such success, the U.S. still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world. Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology, but the indifference of country that just will not take fires seriously enough. American fire department are some of the world’s fasted and best-equipped. They have to be because the US has twice Japan’s population, and 40 times as many fires. It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them. And American fire-safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children, who die in disproportionately large numbers in fires but who, contrary to popular myth, start very few of them. Experts say that the fatal error is an attitude that fires are not really anyone’s fault. That is not so in other countries, where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime. Japan has many wood houses; of the estimated 48 fires in the world history, that burned more than 10,000 buildings, Japan has had 27. Penalties for causing a severe fire by negligence can be as high as life imprisonment. In the U.S., most education dollars are spent in primary schools. But the lessons are aimed at a too limited audience; just 9% of all fire death are caused by children playing with fire. The U.S. continues to rely more on technology than laws or social pressure. There smoke detectors in 85 % of all homes. Some local building code now requires home sprinklers洒水器. New heater and irons shut themselves off if they are overturned. 31. The reason that so many Americans die in a fire is that ______. A. they took no interest in new technology B. they did not attach great importance to preventing fires C. they showed indifference to fighting fires D. they did not spend enough money on fire facilities 32. Although the fire death rate has declined, the United States _____. A. still has the worst death rate in the world B. is still alert to the fire problem C. is still training a large number of safety experts D. is still confronted with the serious fire problem 33. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. fire safety lessons should be aimed at American adults B. American children have not received enough education of fire safety lesson C. Japan is better equipped with fire facilities than the United States D. America’s large population accounts for high fire frequency 34. In what aspects should the United States learn from Japan? A. Architecture and building material B. Education and technology C. Laws and attitude D. All of the above 35. To narrow the gap between the fire death rate in the United States and in other countries, the author suggests ______. A. developing new technology B. counting more on laws and social pressure C. placing a fire extinguisher in every family D. reinforcing the safeness of household appliance Part Three Vocabulary and Structure (20 points) Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The United states designed highways to help a driver get from one place to another in the shortest possible time. 76 these wide modern roads are generally smooth and well maintained, with 77 sharp curves and many straight sections, a direct route is not always the most 78 one. These highways generally connect large urban centers which means that they become crowded with 79 traffic during rush hours, 80 the “fast, direct ” way becomes a very slow route.
