PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN) 82、根據(jù)以下資料，回答82-101題： A twenty –year-old immigrant，Levi Strauss，came to the United States in l 850 to seek his fortune in the gold fields．But strangely enough，this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes． Strauss’s jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys．In the early days of jeans．this man couldn't have guessed that his pants，made only for rough work，would become so popular at all levels of society．Yes．this is a fact：jeans have become fashionable in our society．Furthermore，these pants have come to symbolize changes in social attitude． In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority．Jeans．now worn by everybody，can be said to symbolize these changes for the better．In the past，only men、More jeans，and these men were at the bottom---socially and economically．Jeans were worn by truck drivers，farm and factory workers．Today，jeans no longer are looked down upon．They are worn by both men and women，by both skilled and unskilled workers，by both employees and employers．This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality，no matter what your occupation or sex．In the fight against authority．young people have been the leaders．So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win．Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers，fans at rock concerts, “hippies” returning to nature，and serious college students． Because everyone can be comfortable in them，the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere，anytime．This is true not only in the United States，but in many other countries in the world．I strongly agree with the following statement：“0ld or new，glorified or plain，jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come．Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed．Although unable to speak the same language，the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants．”
Jeans，originally designed by Levi Strauss,__________—． A．have become a symbol of the fashionable class B．have come to symbolize changes in social attitude C．a(chǎn)re suitable wear for rough work only D．a(chǎn)re no longer so popular as they used to be
83、 What is implied but not directly stated in the passage is that__________—． A．young people have been the leaders in the fight against authority B．today jeans are no longer looked down upon C．jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers D．formerly students were not allowed to wear cans to class
84、 The author is of the opinion that__________． A．jeans are likely to be a short—lived fashion B．jeans are popular only in the United States C．jeans are likely to be popular for a long time to come D．jeans are no longer fashionable
85、 The last two sentences imply that__________． A．statesmen in the world are less competent than jeans B．the inhabitants of the world should speak the same language C．statesmen have failed to reach agreement on many major issues of the world D．jeans will help statesmen to reach agreement on some world issues
86、根據(jù)以下資料，回答86-105題： Parkour is a physical activity that is difficult to categorize．It is not an extreme sport，but an art or discipline that resembles self-defense in the martial arts．According to David Belle，the physical aspect of parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in all emergency．You want t0：move in such a way，with any movement，as to help you gain the most ground on someone or somethin9，whether escaping from it or chasing toward it．Thus，when faced with a hostile confrontation with a person，one will be able to speak，fight，or flee．As martial arts are a form of training for the fight，parkour is a form of training for the flight．Because of its unique nature，it is often said that parkour is in its own category：“Parkour is parkour．” An important characteristic of parkour is efficiency．Practitioners move not only as fast as they Call，but also in the least energy-consuming and most direct way possible．This characteristic distinguishes it from the similar practice of free running, which places more emphasis on freedom ofmovements，such as acrobatics．Efficiency also involves avoiding injuries，short and long-term，part of why parkour' s unofficial motto is tre et durer(to be and to last)． Tracers claim that parkour also influences one’s thought process by enhancing critical thinking skills that allow one to overcome everyday physical and mental obstacles．There are fewer predefined movements in parkour than gymnastics，as it does not have a list of appropriate “moves.”Each obstacle a tracer faces presents a unique challenge on how they can overcome it effectively，which depends on their body type，speed and angle of approach，the physical make—up of the obstacle，etc．Parkour is about training the body mind to react to those obstacles appropriately with a technique that works．Often that technique cannot and need not be classified and given a name．In many cases effective parkour techniques depend on fast redistribution of body weight and the use of momentum to perform seemingly impossible or difficult body maneuvers at speed．Absorption and redistribution of energy is also all important factor, such as body rolls when landing which reduce impact forces on the legs and spine，allowing a tracer to jump from greater heights than those often considered sensible in other forms of acrobatics and gymnastics． There are many basic techniques that are emphasized to beginners for their versatility and effectiveness．Most important are good jumping and landing techniques．The roll，used to limit impact after a drop and to carry one’s momentum onward，is often stressed as the most important technique to learn．Many tracers develop joint problems from too many large drops and rolling incorrectly．Due to large drops parkour has sometimes received criticism for its questionable safety．Several communities in Great Britain have been warned by law enforcement or fire and rescue of the potential dangers of parkour．Although David Belle has never been seriously injured while practicing parkour，there is no careful study about the health issues of large drops and tracers stress gradual progression to avoid any problems．
Parkour is a physical activity that__________． A．is categorized in extreme sports B．will be useful when someone flees C．originate from martial arts D．can help us walk faster and faster
87、 According to the passage，“critical thinking skills”(Line l，Para．3)refers to skills of__________． A．judging and giving comments on something B．decisive thinking C．conquering crisis D．finding out essentials
88、 Which of the following is NOT a determinant to the effectiveness of parkour? A．Participator's figure． B．Participator’s relative location to the obstacle． C．Participator's reaction to the obstacle． D．Participator's experience of parkour．
89、 The following are parkour techniques EXCEPT__________． A．reducing energy waste during the process B．making poses while moving at speed C．fighting against someone blocking the path D．preventing oneself from being injured or hurt
90、 What can we learn from the passage? A．Tracers believe long-term effective practice Call help avoid injuries． B．Beginners should train their endurance above all． C．All parkour participators pay less attention to their safety． D．Large drops are the most difficult techniques of parkour．
91、 Which ofthe following activities is mostly close to parkour? A．Martial art． B．Obstacle race． C．Gymnastics． D．Acrobatics．
92、根據(jù)以下資料，回答92-111題： Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber．All living creature，especially human beings, have their peculiarities，but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual．What else can be said about a bizarre animal that，among other eccentricities，eats mud，feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods，and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets? For some fifty million years，despite all its eccentricities，the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud．It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet，under rocks in shallow water，or on the surface of mud flats．Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores，it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present． Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors，ranging from black to reddish brown to sand color and nearly white．One form even has vivid purple tentacles．Usually the creatures are cucumber shaped—-hence their name-一and because they are typically rock inhabitants，this shape，combined with flexibility，enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents． Although they have voracious appetites，eating day and night，sea cucumbers have the capacity to become quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate--feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods，so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply．If it were not for this faculty．they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence． But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself．Its major enemies are fish and crabs，when attacked，it squirts all its internal organs into water．It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles．The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched；it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted．
According to the passage，why is the shape of sea cucumbers important? A．It helps them to digest their food． B．It helps them to protect themselves from danger． C．It makes it easier for them to move through the mud． D．It makes them attractive to fish．
93、 The words“ this faculty”(Line 3，Para．4)refers to the sea cucumbers ability to__________． A．squeeze into crevices B．devour all available food in a short time C．suck up mud or sand D．1ive at a low metabolic rate
94、 The 4th paragraph of the passage primarily discusses__________． A．the reproduction of sea cucumbers B．the food sources of sea cucumbers C．the eating h曲its of sea cucumbers D．threats to sea cucumbers’ existence
95、 Compared with other sea creatures the sea cucumber is very__________． A．sensitive B．intelligent C．a(chǎn)ggressive D．fat
96、 Which of the following would NOT cause a sea cucumber to release its internal organs into the water? A．A touch． B．Ocean currents． C．Unusually warm water． D．Pollution．
97、根據(jù)以下資料，回答97-116題： Cultural norms so completely surround people，so permeate thought and action，that few people ever recognize the assumptions on which their lives and their sanity rest．As one observer put it，if birds were suddenly endowed with scientific curiosity they might examine many things，but the sky itself would be overlooked as a suitable subject；if fish were to become curious about the world，it would never occur to them to begin by investigating water．For birds and fish would take the sky and sea for granted，unaware of their profound influence because they comprise the medium for every fact．Human beings，in a similar way，occupy a symbolic universe governed by codes that are unconsciously acquired and automatically employed．So much so that they rarely notice that the ways they interpret and talk about events are distinctively different from the ways people conduct their affairs in other cultures． As long as people remain blind to the sources of their meanings，they are imprisoned within them．These cultural frames of reference are no less confining simply because they cannot be seen or touched．Whether it is an individual neurosis that keeps an individual out of contact with his neighbors，or a collective neurosis that separates neighbors of different cultures，both are forms of blindness that limit what call be experienced and what can be learned from others． It would seem that everywhere people would desire to break out of the boundaries of their own experiential Worlds. Their ability to react sensitively to a wider spectrum of events and peoples requires an overcoming of such cultural parochialism. But，in fact，few attain this broader vision．Some，of course，have little opportunity for wider cultural experience，though this condition should change as the movement of people accelerates．0thers do not try to widen their experience because they prefer the old and familiar，seek from their affairs only further confirmation of the correctness m their own values．Still others recoil from such experiences because they feel it dangerous to probe too deeply Into me personal or cultural unconscious．Exposure may reveal how tenuous and arbitrary many cultural norms are；such exposure might force people to acquire new bases for interpreting events．And even for me many who do seek actively to enlarge the variety of human beings with whom they are capable of communicating there are still difficulties． Cultural myopia persists not merely because of inertia and habit，but chiefly because it is so difficult to overcome．One acquires a personality and a culture in childhood，long before he is capable of comprehending either of them. To survive，each person masters the perceptual orientations，cognitive biases，and communicative habits of his own culture. But once mastered，objective assessment of these same processes is awkward since the same mechanisms that are being evaluated must be used in making the evaluations．
The examples of birds and fish____________． A．show that they,t00，have their respective cultures B．illustrate that human beings are unaware of the cultural codes governing them C．demonstrate the similarity between man，birds，and fish in their ways of thinking D．explain humans occupy a symbolic universe as birds and fish occupy the sky and the sea
98、 The term“ parochialism”(Line 3，Para．3)most possibly means__________． A．open-mindedness B．provincialism C．superiority D．discrimination
99、 It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that__________． A．everyone would like to widen their cultural scope if they can B．childhood is an important stage in comprehending culture C．provided one’s brought up in a culture，he may be with bias in making cultural evaluations D．the obstacles to overcoming cultural parochialism lie mainly in people’s habit of thinking
100、 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．People’s visions will be enlarged if only they know that cultural differences exist． B．Individual and collective neurosis might prevent communications with others． C．People in different cultures may be governed by the same cultural norms． D．If cultural norms are something tangible，they won’t be so confining.

PART Ⅴ READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN) 82、根據(jù)以下資料，回答82-101題： A twenty –year-old immigrant，Levi Strauss，came to the United States in l 850 to seek his fortune in the gold fields．But strangely enough，this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes． Strauss’s jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys．In the early days of jeans．this man couldn't have guessed that his pants，made only for rough work，would become so popular at all levels of society．Yes．this is a fact：jeans have become fashionable in our society．Furthermore，these pants have come to symbolize changes in social attitude． In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority．Jeans．now worn by everybody，can be said to symbolize these changes for the better．In the past，only men、More jeans，and these men were at the bottom---socially and economically．Jeans were worn by truck drivers，farm and factory workers．Today，jeans no longer are looked down upon．They are worn by both men and women，by both skilled and unskilled workers，by both employees and employers．This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality，no matter what your occupation or sex．In the fight against authority．young people have been the leaders．So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win．Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers，fans at rock concerts, “hippies” returning to nature，and serious college students． Because everyone can be comfortable in them，the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere，anytime．This is true not only in the United States，but in many other countries in the world．I strongly agree with the following statement：“0ld or new，glorified or plain，jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come．Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed．Although unable to speak the same language，the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants．”
Jeans，originally designed by Levi Strauss,__________—． A．have become a symbol of the fashionable class B．have come to symbolize changes in social attitude C．a(chǎn)re suitable wear for rough work only D．a(chǎn)re no longer so popular as they used to be
83、 What is implied but not directly stated in the passage is that__________—． A．young people have been the leaders in the fight against authority B．today jeans are no longer looked down upon C．jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers D．formerly students were not allowed to wear cans to class
84、 The author is of the opinion that__________． A．jeans are likely to be a short—lived fashion B．jeans are popular only in the United States C．jeans are likely to be popular for a long time to come D．jeans are no longer fashionable
85、 The last two sentences imply that__________． A．statesmen in the world are less competent than jeans B．the inhabitants of the world should speak the same language C．statesmen have failed to reach agreement on many major issues of the world D．jeans will help statesmen to reach agreement on some world issues
86、根據(jù)以下資料，回答86-105題： Parkour is a physical activity that is difficult to categorize．It is not an extreme sport，but an art or discipline that resembles self-defense in the martial arts．According to David Belle，the physical aspect of parkour is getting over all the obstacles in your path as you would in all emergency．You want t0：move in such a way，with any movement，as to help you gain the most ground on someone or somethin9，whether escaping from it or chasing toward it．Thus，when faced with a hostile confrontation with a person，one will be able to speak，fight，or flee．As martial arts are a form of training for the fight，parkour is a form of training for the flight．Because of its unique nature，it is often said that parkour is in its own category：“Parkour is parkour．” An important characteristic of parkour is efficiency．Practitioners move not only as fast as they Call，but also in the least energy-consuming and most direct way possible．This characteristic distinguishes it from the similar practice of free running, which places more emphasis on freedom ofmovements，such as acrobatics．Efficiency also involves avoiding injuries，short and long-term，part of why parkour' s unofficial motto is tre et durer(to be and to last)． Tracers claim that parkour also influences one’s thought process by enhancing critical thinking skills that allow one to overcome everyday physical and mental obstacles．There are fewer predefined movements in parkour than gymnastics，as it does not have a list of appropriate “moves.”Each obstacle a tracer faces presents a unique challenge on how they can overcome it effectively，which depends on their body type，speed and angle of approach，the physical make—up of the obstacle，etc．Parkour is about training the body mind to react to those obstacles appropriately with a technique that works．Often that technique cannot and need not be classified and given a name．In many cases effective parkour techniques depend on fast redistribution of body weight and the use of momentum to perform seemingly impossible or difficult body maneuvers at speed．Absorption and redistribution of energy is also all important factor, such as body rolls when landing which reduce impact forces on the legs and spine，allowing a tracer to jump from greater heights than those often considered sensible in other forms of acrobatics and gymnastics． There are many basic techniques that are emphasized to beginners for their versatility and effectiveness．Most important are good jumping and landing techniques．The roll，used to limit impact after a drop and to carry one’s momentum onward，is often stressed as the most important technique to learn．Many tracers develop joint problems from too many large drops and rolling incorrectly．Due to large drops parkour has sometimes received criticism for its questionable safety．Several communities in Great Britain have been warned by law enforcement or fire and rescue of the potential dangers of parkour．Although David Belle has never been seriously injured while practicing parkour，there is no careful study about the health issues of large drops and tracers stress gradual progression to avoid any problems．
Parkour is a physical activity that__________． A．is categorized in extreme sports B．will be useful when someone flees C．originate from martial arts D．can help us walk faster and faster
87、 According to the passage，“critical thinking skills”(Line l，Para．3)refers to skills of__________． A．judging and giving comments on something B．decisive thinking C．conquering crisis D．finding out essentials

90、 What can we learn from the passage? A．Tracers believe long-term effective practice Call help avoid injuries． B．Beginners should train their endurance above all． C．All parkour participators pay less attention to their safety． D．Large drops are the most difficult techniques of parkour．
91、 Which ofthe following activities is mostly close to parkour? A．Martial art． B．Obstacle race． C．Gymnastics． D．Acrobatics．
92、根據(jù)以下資料，回答92-111題： Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber．All living creature，especially human beings, have their peculiarities，but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual．What else can be said about a bizarre animal that，among other eccentricities，eats mud，feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods，and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets? For some fifty million years，despite all its eccentricities，the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud．It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet，under rocks in shallow water，or on the surface of mud flats．Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores，it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present． Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors，ranging from black to reddish brown to sand color and nearly white．One form even has vivid purple tentacles．Usually the creatures are cucumber shaped—-hence their name-一and because they are typically rock inhabitants，this shape，combined with flexibility，enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents． Although they have voracious appetites，eating day and night，sea cucumbers have the capacity to become quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate--feeding sparingly or not at all for long periods，so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply．If it were not for this faculty．they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence． But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself．Its major enemies are fish and crabs，when attacked，it squirts all its internal organs into water．It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles．The sea cucumber will eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched；it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted．
According to the passage，why is the shape of sea cucumbers important? A．It helps them to digest their food． B．It helps them to protect themselves from danger． C．It makes it easier for them to move through the mud． D．It makes them attractive to fish．
93、 The words“ this faculty”(Line 3，Para．4)refers to the sea cucumbers ability to__________． A．squeeze into crevices B．devour all available food in a short time C．suck up mud or sand D．1ive at a low metabolic rate
94、 The 4th paragraph of the passage primarily discusses__________． A．the reproduction of sea cucumbers B．the food sources of sea cucumbers C．the eating h曲its of sea cucumbers D．threats to sea cucumbers’ existence
95、 Compared with other sea creatures the sea cucumber is very__________． A．sensitive B．intelligent C．a(chǎn)ggressive D．fat
96、 Which of the following would NOT cause a sea cucumber to release its internal organs into the water? A．A touch． B．Ocean currents． C．Unusually warm water． D．Pollution．
97、根據(jù)以下資料，回答97-116題： Cultural norms so completely surround people，so permeate thought and action，that few people ever recognize the assumptions on which their lives and their sanity rest．As one observer put it，if birds were suddenly endowed with scientific curiosity they might examine many things，but the sky itself would be overlooked as a suitable subject；if fish were to become curious about the world，it would never occur to them to begin by investigating water．For birds and fish would take the sky and sea for granted，unaware of their profound influence because they comprise the medium for every fact．Human beings，in a similar way，occupy a symbolic universe governed by codes that are unconsciously acquired and automatically employed．So much so that they rarely notice that the ways they interpret and talk about events are distinctively different from the ways people conduct their affairs in other cultures． As long as people remain blind to the sources of their meanings，they are imprisoned within them．These cultural frames of reference are no less confining simply because they cannot be seen or touched．Whether it is an individual neurosis that keeps an individual out of contact with his neighbors，or a collective neurosis that separates neighbors of different cultures，both are forms of blindness that limit what call be experienced and what can be learned from others． It would seem that everywhere people would desire to break out of the boundaries of their own experiential Worlds. Their ability to react sensitively to a wider spectrum of events and peoples requires an overcoming of such cultural parochialism. But，in fact，few attain this broader vision．Some，of course，have little opportunity for wider cultural experience，though this condition should change as the movement of people accelerates．0thers do not try to widen their experience because they prefer the old and familiar，seek from their affairs only further confirmation of the correctness m their own values．Still others recoil from such experiences because they feel it dangerous to probe too deeply Into me personal or cultural unconscious．Exposure may reveal how tenuous and arbitrary many cultural norms are；such exposure might force people to acquire new bases for interpreting events．And even for me many who do seek actively to enlarge the variety of human beings with whom they are capable of communicating there are still difficulties． Cultural myopia persists not merely because of inertia and habit，but chiefly because it is so difficult to overcome．One acquires a personality and a culture in childhood，long before he is capable of comprehending either of them. To survive，each person masters the perceptual orientations，cognitive biases，and communicative habits of his own culture. But once mastered，objective assessment of these same processes is awkward since the same mechanisms that are being evaluated must be used in making the evaluations．
The examples of birds and fish____________． A．show that they,t00，have their respective cultures B．illustrate that human beings are unaware of the cultural codes governing them C．demonstrate the similarity between man，birds，and fish in their ways of thinking D．explain humans occupy a symbolic universe as birds and fish occupy the sky and the sea
98、 The term“ parochialism”(Line 3，Para．3)most possibly means__________． A．open-mindedness B．provincialism C．superiority D．discrimination
99、 It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that__________． A．everyone would like to widen their cultural scope if they can B．childhood is an important stage in comprehending culture C．provided one’s brought up in a culture，he may be with bias in making cultural evaluations D．the obstacles to overcoming cultural parochialism lie mainly in people’s habit of thinking
100、 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．People’s visions will be enlarged if only they know that cultural differences exist． B．Individual and collective neurosis might prevent communications with others． C．People in different cultures may be governed by the same cultural norms． D．If cultural norms are something tangible，they won’t be so confining.
101、 The passage might be entitled“__________．” A．How to Overcome Cultural Myopia B．Behavioral Patterns and Cultural Background C．Harms of Cultural Myopia D．Cultural Myopia—A Deep—rooted Collective Neurosis
