receives the communication In order to communicate thoughts and feelings there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification therefore the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication Reception of communication is achieved by our senses sight hearing and touch play the most important roles Smell and taste play very limited roles Examples of visual communication are gesture and imitation Although both frequently accompany speech there are systems that rely solely on sight such as those used by deaf and dumb persons Another means of communicating visually is signals of fire smoke flags or flashing lights Feelings may be simply communicated by touch as by handshaking although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind deaf and dumb persons to communicate intelligently Whistling to someone clapping hands in a theater and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver The most fully developed form of auditory communication is of course the spoken language The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common they last only a short time and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other Therefore all are restricted in time and space 5 1 The word auditory in the third paragraph means communication by A smelling B seeing C hearing D touching 2 The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because A communication actually takes place when the message is received B there are more means of receiving than of sending communications C reception of communications involves use of the sense D it is difficult to organize by type the means of sending communication 3 Clapping hands is specifically mentioned as an example of A communication by sound B gesture and imitation C communication by touch D a simple system of visual communication 4 The author specifically mentions that speech is A often used when communicating B necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture C the only highly developed system of communication D the most developed form of communication based on hearing 5 Which of the following statements about the way of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is false A They can be used to communicate over long distances B They require both a sender and a receiver C They involve use of conventional signs and symbols D They utilize the senses for reception B In general the ancient Romans were a practical people They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges roads aqueducts and public buildings They knew about the smelting of iron ore but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears swords and shields rather than for building construction While the Romans accomplished practical wonders they did very little theoretical scientific thinking Because of their frequent wars many of their inventions were no more than improvments in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics First they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking Secondly they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics 6 The author calls the Romans practical because they 6 A cared little about philosophy B applied their knowledge C saw the necessity for developing theoretical sciences D studied the past and learned from it 7 According to the selection the Romans excelled in A engineering and architecture B inventing C smelting iron ore D the art of war 8 In construction the Romans made extensive use of A iron ore B geometry and trigonometry C Greek mathematical thought D both B and C 9 Roman practicality may be explained by the A Romaans desire to expand their empire B Rigidity of the Romans numerical system C Romans lack of interest in abstract ideas D Both A and B 10 The author of this selection probably wanted to explain why A he considers the Romans a practical people B Roman architects and engineers were the best in antiquity C Theoretical thinking is necessary for the growth of a nation D The Romans contributed little to philosophical thought C When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer s claim for it the first step is to present the warranty 保單 or any other records which might help at the store of purchase In most cases this action will produce results However if it does not there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager In general the higher up the consumer takes his or her complaint the faster he or she can expect it to be settled In such a case it is usually settled in the consumer s favor assuming he or she has a just claim Consumers should complain in person whenever possible but if they cannot get to the place of purchase it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in questions If this cannot be done the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong rather than by making general statements For example The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear is better than This stereo 立體聲音響 does not work The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer If so the consumer should do this stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result the consumer can go a step further She or he can threaten to take the seller to court 7 or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights 11 When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it the first thing he should do is to A complain personally to the manager B threaten to take the matter to court C write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase D show some written proof of the purchase to the store 12 If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem it s better to complain to A a shop assistant B the store manager C the manufacturer D a public organization 13 The most effective complaint can be made by A showing the faulty item to the manufacturer B explaining exactly what is wring with the item C saying firmly that the item is of poor quality D asking politely to change the item 14 The phrase live up to Para 1 in the context means A meet the standard of B realize the purpose of C fulfil the demands of D keep the promise of 15 The passage tells us A how to settle a consumer s complaint about a faulty item B how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item C how to avoid buying a faulty item D how to deal with complaints from customers Faces like fingerprints are unique Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another Yet a very young child or even an animal such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces we all take this ability for granted We also tell people apart by how they behave When we talk about someone s personality we mean the ways in which he or she acts speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others Like the human face human personality is very complex But describing someone s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like you probably would have a difficult time doing so But if you were asked to describe a nice person you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate friendly warm and so forth There are many words to describe how a person thinks feels and acts Gordon Allport an American psychologist found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in people s behavior And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality Bookworms 8 conservatives military types people are described with such terms People have always tried to type each other Actors in early Greek drams wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain s 壞人 or the hero s role In fact the words person and personality come from the Latin persona meaning mask Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions 16 By using the example of finger prints the author tells us that A people can learn to recognize faces B

people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics B human fingerprints provide unique information C people s behavior can be easily described in words D human faces have complex features 20 Which of the following is the major point of the passage A Why it is necessary to identify people s personality B Why it is possible to describe people C How to get know people D How best to recognize people Part IV Cloze Time talks It speaks more plainly than words Time communicates 1 many ways 2 the different parts of the day for example The time of the day when something 3 can give a
