III. Reading Comprehension Passage One
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(221 words) 31. Our long-term goals mean a lot ____________.( B)
A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. If we complete the short-term goals C. If we have dreams of the future D. If we put forward some plans 32. New short-term goals are built upon ____________. (D)
A. a daily basis B. your achievement in a week
C. current activities D. the goals that have been completed
33. When we complete each step of our goals, ____________. (C)
A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed C. we should build up confidence of success D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals
34. What is the main idea of this passage? ____________ (C)
A Life is a dynamic thing. B. we should set up long-term goals C. Different kinds of goals in life. D. The limitation of long-term goals. 35. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ____________ (C)
A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals
B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.
C. Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.
Passage two 英法既爱又恨的关系
Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥抱）, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys（调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of ―doubtful friendship‖, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.
36. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is ____________. (D)
A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate
37. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain. (D)
A. good B. harm
C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm
38. The British are not so friendly to __( A)______ and the French are not so friendly to _ ( A)_____.
A. Germany; America B. America; Germany C. Germany; Germany D. America; America
39. ____________ are more interested in having holidays in ____________. (D)
A. American people…Britain B. British people … Germany C. French people … Britain D. British people … France 40. What does the last sentence mean? (C)
A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.
B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain. C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them. D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.
Passage 3 社区服务是我们大学中一个重要的组成部分
Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called ―One On One‖ helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.
You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.
Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors — he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service … and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week. (220 words)

Passage Four Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. （292 words） 46. Which of the following statements is NOT true? ( B) A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.
B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.
C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.
47. With the same money needed for (C) , one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 48. When the garden is in blossom, the one _______ has been rewarded. ( B) A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden C. having a garden of his own D. having been digging, planting and watering
49. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London. ( A)
A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 50. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to _______.(C)
A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from

Business is about competition. Some of it is subtle and unspoken, but nearly everyone is commpeting 61 for budgets, opportunities, customers. And then there's competition for promotions 62 , time with important colleagues, fame, recognition, bigger 63 salaries, and, of course, power. But the very fact that 64 some people do plot and scheme at work illustrates 65 one of the truths of politicking (职场政治活动)– that it delivers results 66 .
Here's another home truth – politicking happens whether 67 you like it or not. Sadly there are limited opportunities 68 in the world of work and, more often 69 than not, if you think you can succeed 70 without getting political, you need to wake up.

Many people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, on 71 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.
Many of us think 72 of stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us under 73 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 74 on more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to accept 75 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not. 71．A：of B：under C：accept D：from E：on D 72． A：of B：under C：accept D：from E：on A 73． A：of B：under C：accept D：from E：on B 74． A：of B：under C：accept D：from E：on E 75．A：of B：under C：accept D：from E：on C
