32、g children, men, careers and what s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen - they can t do both - and they don t understand that women can. Besides, women consider tha

33、t the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships - not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable,

34、 unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a wom

35、an, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks

36、on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked to them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lew

37、is, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive

38、speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually disappointed to receive only short grunts in reply.59.While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because theyA. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can bot

39、h talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands60.

42、 WomenCHey there, So youre about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why youre going? Relax. Youre making the right decision. First of all, you

43、ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, its hard to decide if you want to be a painter if youve never painted any picture; once youre in a drawing-room on campus, youll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun after you graduate, youll be workin

44、g every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college. Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way. *Researching Schools. To us, the most important

45、decision youll make is to choose the school that really fits you best not the one that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms. *Applying to School. On JohnsonR , youll find hundreds of actual college applications（申请）and links to many more . *Raising Your Scores. American Coll

46、ege Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions (录取) course . Its not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores. *Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the h

47、igh cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid . If you really do your research, youll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. For mo

48、re information, call 600-3681 or visit JohnsonR.Wherever you go, have a nice trip! Johnson Smith Founder and CEO Johnson Review 63. How many reasons for going to college does the author mention in the text ? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5 64. The author thinks you should choose the college that is _ . A. well-

49、equipped B. competitive C. suitable D. famous 65. What does the author advise you to do to pay the high cost of college? A. To ask the family for help B. To make a study of financial courses. C. To do research on the price of college D. To get to know how to ask for financial aid 5u66. Whats the aut

50、hors purpose of writing this test? A. To suggest ways to prepare for college learning B. To help readers find the right college C. To make Johnson Review popular D. To introduce college life DSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours”

51、 are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Tod

52、ay the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limi

53、ts, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of t

54、he difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) ,we may well think that we should

55、 go to school due to social custom and parents demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight saving

56、 time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time

57、 zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that _.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday, C. it is hard for peo

58、ple to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear68. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people_.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overtime for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible work

59、ing hours69.According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their parentsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B.

Our time schedule is decided by social customs第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students t

61、o grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. 7

62、1 They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom. 72 For some students, there are too few rules.

Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subje
