Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Hotlines （热线）have become common in China. Some radio stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows. Thats a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program. Some people know little about the topic（话题）under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人)is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知).Then the host has to answer and explain how silly this is ! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They dont care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be. Im totally bored by those people. Its necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programs. In my opinion,if a caller doesnt know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it. 41. We know from the sentence “Some people do nothing but break the whole program that_.A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact C. it is a good idea D. some people have unclear thoughts 42. The host has to answer and explain, _ . A. for the host works hard B. because of the callers ignorance C. for the host likes talking to the caller D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller 43. The passage doesnt tell us the idea _ . A. that some listeners phone the hotlines in fun B. that some people just want to be heard by others C. that some people who dont care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be silly D. what the hotline programs are 44. Which of the following is not true? A. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about C. Some people do not know what the show is about D. The writer tells us that the host is silly. 45. What should the operator do if a caller doesnt know what is going on in the writers opinion?A. not to let the caller call the programB. not let the caller take part in the programC. let the caller express his ideaD. feel bored by the callerPassage 2Stage plays（舞台剧）, at first, seem a lot like films. Both use actors and dialogue and scenery. But if you try to make a film by setting up a camera in front of the stage, you will find it wont work. A film made in this way will leave the audience（观众） cold. And even worse youll be wasting a powerful tool - the camera. A stage is actually a box. One side of the box has been removed(挪开) so the audience can see whats going on inside. The actors remain at a fixed audience. In the film, however, the camera can bring the audience up close and fix their attention on small but important things: a frightened look, a whisper, a trembling of hands. The camera offers the film maker freedom allowing him to move easily across barriers(界限) of time and space. He can show his action in real cities and on real farms. He can also use the camera to change the scene dozens of times in one film. No expert of the stage can do this. 46. The main idea of the text is that _ . A. stage plays and films are two different kinds of art B. it is always disappointing to turn play into films C. films have certain advantages(长处) over stage plays D. the camera has made film making easy and possible 47. What is wrong with making a film by setting up a camera before the stage ? _A. Fewer and fewer people will go to the theatre. B. The audience cannot see what is going on the stage. C. The scene cannot be changed from time to time. D. The powerful camera cannot be made good use of. 48. Which of the following can show that the camera is a powerful tool ? _A. It can move easily. B. It can make small things look larger. C. It can show things in the future. D. It can give us a scene of realism（真实）. 49. In what way are plays different from films? AA. Films often use real scenery while plays dont. B. Films can show the past while plays cant. C. Films change scenes while plays dont. D. Film audience can move while play audience cant. 50. A suitable title for this text is _. A. Stage Plays and Film B. The Powerful Camera C. Fewer Plays, More Films D. Less Waste, More Freedom Passage 3The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man courageous, manly and wise. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatras（古埃及王后）nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world! Mans nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy（嫉妒）and revenge（报复）. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up ones nose expressed a basic human feeling -pride. People can hold up their hoses at people, things and places. The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows mans weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct（本能）guide him. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose in more than an organ for breathing and smelling. 51. The passage is about _. A. an organ, with which people can breathe and smell B. the nose, which gives different and useful expressions C. the nose giving a person special character D. interesting remarks about the nose made by some people 52.

Five Cloze (20 points in all, 1 for each)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D.
