[解析] 17-20 Christmas is a day for family members to get together. People who live away try to get back home. The roads and railways are full of people traveling long distances in order to spend Christmas at home. Everyone wants to spend this day with their family. And above all, it's the children's holiday. They like to be happy at this day. The children count the weeks, then the days to Christmas. They're wondering what presents they are going to have; they are very happy about this. They keep trying to find something out from their mother, but the only thing the mother will tell them is stories about Father Christmas, who brings presents to good children. Christmas Eve comes at last. When the children go to bed they hang up their socks and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course it's really their parents who fill the socks, but even the older children often pretend not to know this. Everybody likes to be happy at Christmas time. The theatre puts on special shows for children. The circle is another thing that parents may take their children to see. Here, the audiences sit in a circle and the performance takes place in the center. The main attraction is the performing animals. Elephants, lions and tigers are trained to do astonishing tricks. Every circle has many funny persons who make people laugh.

A The producers of instant (立即的)coffee found their product strongly resisted (抵制) in the market places although their product has many advantages. Furthermore, the cost of the advertising of instant coffee was far higher than that of regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers' seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producer thought that there might be deeper reasons. This was proved by one of motivation(动机) research's classic studies, one often used in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were the same except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots, bread, baking powder, canned peaches(桃子) , and potatoes ,with the brands or amounts specified D. The seventh item, in fifth place on both lists, read "one pound Maxwell House coffee" on the list and" Nescafe' instant coffee" on the other. One list was given to each other in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in the other group of the same size: The women were asked to study their list and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman ( "personality and character" ) who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife. No one in the other group drew such a conclusion a- bout the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.
1. In the opinion of instant coffee producers, ______.
A.people should buy regular coffee
B.regular coffee is superior to instant coffee
C.instant coffee should have a good market because of its obvious advantages
D.the advertising cost for regular coffee is very great
3. The list on which "Nescafe instant coffee" was given to a group including ______.
A.7 people
B.7 women
C.14 people
D.50 women
A B C D
D
由文中第二段第四句One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women,and the other list to those in the other group of the same size.可知,上面写有“Nescafe instant coffee”的购物单给了由五十位妇女组成的一群人。
4. As the result of that study, the producers of instant coffee probably would advertise on TV to show ______.
B There was an engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all mechanical (机械的) things. After serving his company heart and soul for over 25 years, he happily retired(退休). Several years later his company telephoned him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their multi-million-dollar machines. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the machine fixed, but no help. In desperation (绝望), they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past. The engineer unwillingly took the challenge. He spent a day studying the huge machine. At the end of the day he marked a small X in chalk on a particular part of the machine and proudly stated, "This is where your problem is.” Tile part was replaced and the machine worked perfectly again. The company received a bill for $ 20,001 from the engineer for his service. They told him to make a list of his charges. The engineer answered briefly: One chalk mark... $ 1 Knowing where to put it... $ 20,000.
1. The engineer retired ______.
A.after he worked in the same company for less than 25 years
B.after he worked in different companies for 25 years
C.after he worked faithfully in the same company for over 25 years
D.after he worked heart and soul in his own company for 25 years
A B C D
C

2. Several years after his retirement, the engineer's company ______.
A.bought a very advanced machine
B.had a very expensive machine out of order
C.placed an order for a very expensive machine
D.had difficulty destroying a very expensive machine
C Knowledge can be gotten from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no chance to experience in daily life. We Can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical (分析的) skills and learn how to view and explain the world around us in different ways. In addition, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won't repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements. Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Besides, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations(革新) do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can use the skills and wisdom gained through the study of books to practical experience, making a meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical (理论上的) and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that gained from books.
D If we observe carefully, we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (普查) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why? As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting (反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat. That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.
1. We can hardly find black flowers because ______.
2. The red, orange and yellow lights contain ______.
A.less heat than the other lights
B.more heat than the other lights
C.a great deal of heat
D.a little heat

C

E Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area, I had no sense of knowing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal. There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else. You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren't any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow (弓) and arrow (箭) and shooting the arrow further, it didn't mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further; maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them. One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn't always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home, then that was where you slept.
1. According to the writer, in India ______.
A.all the people were kind and equal in different activities
B.all the people quarreled with each other in every fight
C.people often took part in different fights
D.every child tried to climb to the top of ail the activities
