One of those was the   42   system of weights and measures in use. Not only was the system clearly complicated, but it also varied widely from place to place. So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system. In   43   the new system, the French began by setting up a unit of distance equal to one forty millionth part of the earth’s circumference (周长).But   44   later measurements showed that the unit designed was not exactly that part, but they   45   to use it. (Today the unit is defined simply as the distance between two marks on a metal bar kept in suburb of Paris). The unit is the meter and the system of measurements   46   on this unit is the metric (米制的) system, the system today used by scientists all over the world. The metric system is built in   47   of ten, Greek prefixes showing multiples and Latin prefixes showing fractions. The Greeks had no word for a number larger than ten thousand and the Romans had none for a number larger than one thousand, but the system was   48   by using less specific words; for   49   mega meter (one million meters) comes from a Greek word that means simply “large”. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify with a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are  50   of that parent. The things parents do and say—and the   51   they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child’s   52  . However, parents must at all times   53   like the type of person they want their child to become. A parent’s actions   54   affect the self-image that a child forms   55   identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their parents will likely learn to see themselves in a   56   way. Children who observe chiefly   57   qualities in their parents will have difficulty seeing positive qualities in themselves. Children may   58   their self-image, however, as they become increasingly   59    by peer group standards. Isolated events, even dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a   60   effect on a child’s behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established   61   and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parent’s or a parent’s early   62  . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a   63  of rejection or punishment. In the same way, all children are not influenced at all by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. As in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   64   of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it. 50. A. informative       B. characteristic           C. comprehensive        D. individual 51. A. gesture             B. expression               C. way                       D. extent 52.

A. regardless          B. nevertheless            C. also                        D. anyhow 55. A. despite              B. besides                   C. including                       D. through 56. A. peculiar             B. positive                  C. particular                       D. similar 57. A. negative            B. cheerful                  C. various                   D. complex 58.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) It was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step. “Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow. “Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.” They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?” I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you.” They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my husband with a good steady job—these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 65. Why did the writer let the children in? A. She showed great pity on them.  B. She had old papers to sell. C. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feast. D. She wanted them to see how rich she was. 66. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because ________. A. she saw that the lady’s room was comfortable B. she saw the cups matched the saucers C. the writer’s slipcovers were very new D. the writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry 67. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on ____________. A. how much money you have had               B. how you feel about your life C. how you have helped others                            D. what job your husband is doing 68. The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to ___________. A. show her husband that someone had come B. remind her that she had helped two children C. remind her that she was very rich in the neighborhood D. remind her how life should be  (B) In case of an accident or a fire on a school bus, this is what you will need to know. Don’t worry; these rules will be practiced twice a year at your school. The driver will review with you all the safety rules of riding a school bus and explain to you where all the dangerous zones are around a school bus. Pay attention and obey your driver and you will always be safe. The driver will show you all the emergency equipment, like the fire extinguisher, the axe, the first aid tools and the two-way radio. Pay attention and try to remember where they are and how they are used. The driver will radio in and have her dispatcher (调度员) call 911 if it is needed. You may need to help the driver if she is injured. This is why the driver will teach you how to use the two-way radio. The driver will also show you where the emergency windows are located and how they open. Now the driver will show you how to evacuate the bus from the back door in case of an emergency. STAY CALM. DO NOT PUSH OR SHOVE, AND HAVE YOUR HANDS FREE. Students in the back seats will leave first. The driver will have assigned two students to stand at the back door to help you. Extend your arms, bend your knees, make sure the two students on the ground are holding your arms, and don’t jump to the ground. Once you are out of the bus, you will go to the get-together area, and wait for your driver. 69.

In the family, traditional cultural patterns award leadership to one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment（招聘）. Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce dependable evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, practically any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group. Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to decrease tension and conflict among them. Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discip
