Passage 2 As suppliers of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many of industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capital income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.
1. This passage is most probably ______.
A.a news item
B.part of an introduction of a book
C.part of a lecture

Passage 3 Tom had once worked in a city office in London, but now he was out of work. He had a large family to support, so he often found himself in difficulty.

Tom had already received more than thirty pounds from Mr. White, but he always seemed to be in need of some more. One day, after telling Mr. White a long story of his troubles, Tom asked for five pounds. Mr. White had heard this sort of thing before, but he listened patiently to the end.

Passage 4 Friends play an important part in our daily lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only very few. In all the cases of friendly relationship, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy(亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of major importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background. Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about "being on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinions. In contrast with marriage, there are friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that result from shared experiences and emotions seems to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background and break down barriers of age, class or race.
1. In the authors opinions, friends ______.
A.are those who get on well with each other
B.are closer than those who just get on well with each other
C.must tolerate each other whatever they do
D.are only those who are in need
A B C D
B
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.When we make friends we write down their age, race and economic condition.
B.The shared interest between friends is very enormous.
C.Every ordinary student can make six friends during his college life.
D.It is not easy to make friends with those of a marked difference in age and background.
A B C D
D
3. In paragraph 2, "being on the same wavelength" means ______.
A.having the same background
B.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do
C.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests
D.using the same frequency while talking
A B C D
C
4. According to the passage, ______.
A.close friends depend on each other
B.friends never argue with each other
C.it takes time to become close friends
D.friends have no difference in interest
A B C D
C
5. It can be concluded that ______.
A.common experiences and emotions can lead to mutual supporting and understanding

The Importance of Humor
Humor is one of the qualities humans hold. It can make one smile, and keep one happy, which then is helpful to one's health. Scientists have found that those who own a sense of humor live longer than other. Humor is always effective not only in making oneself happy, but also in bringing pleasure to people around. One can easily found in daily life that the person who often makes some jokes is more welcomed and much liked by his friends. How to be humorous, however? A sense of humor may be inherited from the last generation, or developed from one's daily life later. The point is how one can find humor and to take advantage of it. Having an open mind and active thought may keep one in good mood. Try to find the good aspect of things and absorb humors in some programs in TV, radio or films, and one day you can also be humorous and attractive.
