American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms; organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games. played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do “not assemble” primarily to see the horse race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

16 Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US.
A Right    B Wong    C Not mentioned
17 Professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
18 Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket
A Right    B Wong    C Not mentioned
19 Football can be classified as a spectator sport.
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
20 Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms.
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
21 Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nation-wide university matches are held yearly.
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
22 Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

Doing Business in Brazil
1   Brazilians take pride in their Portuguese heritage, so to call locals Spanish Americans would be insulting. On the same note, Brazil’s official language is Portuguese, not Spanish. Frequently, the spelling of Portuguese words is exactly the same as Spanish, but the pronunciation differs greatly. Before opening your mouth in this country, learn to speak a few words and avoid committing a cultural offence.
2 If your business destination is one of the northern cities like Rio, city of carnival and the samba, expect a somewhat casual environment. However, when scheduling meetings in southern cities, you’ll find business settings just the opposite: quite formal. Bring comfortable semi-casual clothes for business in the north, and conservative dark suits or dresses for southern cities like Sao Paolo.
3 Time is important to southerners and lateness is considered rude and unbusinesslike. In the north, however,   your host may not always be so punctual. If you called a meeting at four, a Rio citizen, for example, may interpret gathering time as around four (like maybe four fifteen or so). Whatever you do, don’t be put off or indicate that you were concerned about the late arrival; your South American counterpart won’t understand.
4  Shaking hands and exchanging business cards begin any first business meeting in Brazil. At that time, introductions are made. Formalise your contact’s first name by preceding it with Senhor, Senhora or Senhorita (Mr, Mrs or Miss). The surname is not generally used. Soon after this formality, the title is usually dropped at the request of your host. Once you’ve become friendly with Senhora Astrud, you would be expected to simply call her Astrud.
5  If you are indicating approval on a business matter, never give the okay sign of a ring formed by the thumb and index finger. This is an obscene gesture in Brazil. Instead, close the fist and shoot the thumb up. During the business day you will most likely be offered cafezinho, a very strong Brazilian coffee. Accept it graciously so as not to offend your host. If you don’t like coffee, sip it slowly. People from the United States should never refer to their country as ‘America’. It is better to say you’re from the United States. South Americans, particularly Brazilians, find North Americans a bit egocentric when referring to back home as ‘America’. After all, Brazilians live in America too.

第 4 部分：阅读理解（第 31~45 题，每题 3 分，共 45 分）
下面有 3 篇短文，每篇短文后有 5 道题，每道题后面有 4 个选项。请根据文章的内容，从每题所给的 4 个选项中选择 1 个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第一篇                        Division of Labour
Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labour and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.
“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. It is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.”
Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a person. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labour, they certainly could not, each of them, have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.
There can be no doubt that division of labour, provided that it is not taken too far, is an efficient way of organising work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.
31 According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to
A take advantage of the division of labour.  
B introduce the division of labour into England.
C understand the effects of the division of labour. 
D explain the causes of the division of labour.
32 Adam Smith saw that the division of labour
A enabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply.
B increased the possible output per worker.
C increased the number of people employed in factories.
D improved the quality of pins produced.
33 Adam Smith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to
A show the advantages of the division of labour.
B show the advantages of the old craft system.
C emphasize how powerful the individual worker was.
D emphasize the importance of increased production.
34 According to the writer, Adam Smith’s mistake was in believing that division of labour
A was an efficient way of organizing work.
B was an important development in methods of production.
C inevitably led to economic development.
D increased the production of existing goods.
35 “Provided that it is not taken too far” (in the first sentence of the last paragraph) means
A if work is done near the factory.   
B if the factory is not too big.
C if it is not led to extremity.    
D if workers don’t have to go a long way.

第二篇 Uses of Vitamin A
In 1913, it was discovered that some unknown substance（物质）, present only in certain foods, was necessary for good health. This substance was what is now called “Vitamin A” (维生素 A).
Vitamin A’s biggest job is to keep the eyes going. Without it, people and animals get “night blindness” and eye problems. Lack of Vitamin A for a long time can even cause total blindness, particularly among children. This had a chance to be tested in Denmark during World War I. Because of food shortage (缺少), many children had to eat man-made butter and skim milk（脱脂奶）, which contains no Vitamin A. Soon, they developed eye diseases. It was after they were given real butter and whole milk that they had no eye problems.
After Vitamin A was discovered, it took more than thirty years of experiments for scientists to be able to get a small amount of pure Vitamin A. Vitamin A is now manufactured and is used successfully to treat a number of diseases. You can easily get enough Vitamin A by eating a variety of food. Good sources of Vitamin A are liver from some animals and dairy products such as milk and cream. Not only many vegetables contain carotene from which your liver can make its own Vitamin A, some fruits also provide carotene（胡萝卜素）which helps your liver to supply Vitamin A. As long as you are getting Vitamin A from food, you won’t need to take any extra in the form of liquid or pills.
36 According to the passage, if Vitamin A is not provided enough, which of the following are likely to be affected most seriously?
A Adults.          B Animals.        C Children         D Plants.
37 Vitamin A is a very important substance mainly because it
A is hard to made.                  
B helps to keep ones eyes healthy.
C can make butter more delicious.        
D can not be produced in large quantity.
38 What made the children in Denmark get eye diseases during World War I?
A The war they experienced.          
B Their poor housing conditions.
C The experiments on food.           
D The lack of Vitamin A in their food.
39 According to the text, the following are all good sources of Vitamin A except
A animal liver.          B flour.
C vegetables.              D milk.
40 Which of the following could best replace the title of the passage?
A The Discovery of Vitamin A.         B Some Unknown Substance.
C Sources for Vitamin A.             D Vitamin A.

第三篇                             Up in Smoke
I began to smoke when I was in high school. In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriends house, and we were watching a movie—a terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mothers purse. and she gave one to me. It was my first time.
My parents didn’t care much. They both smoked, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers don’t grow tall, but I was already 5’6” (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that ‘fact.” In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads were so good-looking and so successful, and the women were—well, they were beautiful and sophisticated (老于世故的).
I read a book called How to Stop Smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what?” I thought. The book didn’t say that smoking can take away years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didn’t pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and I thought I was taking good care of myself.
Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didn’t get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years ago, and we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,” I said to myself.
However, it was very hard to stop. Nicotine (尼古丁) is a drug; as a result, cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several times to quit on my own—without success. I made excuses. I told myselt Smoking helps me keep my figure—i.e. I don’t gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. I’m a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to.
Finally, I ran out of excuses—I might say my excuses went up in smoke. I joined the Stop Smoking program at the local hospital. which also ended up in failure.
41 How the writer started smoking shows the powerful influence of
A educational institutions       B one’s social status.    
C the mass media.             D public opinions.
42 The “fact” in Paragraph 2 refers to
A her admiration for the men in the ads.
B her mothers warning that smokers don’t grow tall.
C her height of 5’6”.               
D the teachers negative attitude towards smoking.
43 The book called How to Stop Smoking
A cost the writer a lot of time to read.           
B was not taken seriously by the writer.
C warned the reader of the risk of lung cancer.    
D left the writer in confusion.
44 The writer decided to quit smoking partly because
A she could not afford any more cigarettes.      
B her doctor had advised her to do so.
C her brother had given up smoking.           
D she had started to cough.
45 The writer found it hard to quit smoking be- cause
A she had been addicted to nicotine.           
B she had been putting on weight.
C she could not think clearly.                 
D she was an independent woman.
