阅读:It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

It isn’t often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.

It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability—and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto—and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.

When World War Ⅱ came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

31.According to the pasage, which of the following statements is NOT true about McCurdy?

A.He was a Canadian.

B.He is regarded as the symbol of Canadian aviation and aircraft industry .

C.He is the first man to finish a figure eight in the air.

D.He now lives in Baddeck.

32.The “Silver Dart” is ____.

A.the name of a weapon

B.a plane bought by McCurdy

C.the nickname of a famous Canadian pilot

D.a plane designed by McCurdy

33.McCurdy is NOT the first one to ____.

A.fly in Canada B.pilot a flying boat

C.fly from Key West to Toronto D.fly to Mexico

34.Nowadays, McCurdy ____.

A.lives in Montreal in summer

B.is the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia

C.is still very active and energetic

D.is the government’s counsellor

35.The best title for this passage is ____.

A.How McCurdy Became a Famous Canadian Pilot

B.McCurdy’s Legendary Experience

C.McCurdy and the Canandian Aviation

D.McCurdy—the Symbol of American Aviation and the Aircraft Industry

听力原文: When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us that they are in a hurry and looking at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all busy, it is just that we haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evenings?" they are always asking. The answer is simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings staring at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign language. This is particularly useful as we always go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and am always busy with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to music and playing chess(象棋)together.

Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us as we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends are lost--no television! --so they don't know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full as they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games. Yes, life is possible without television!

(33)

A.Because they are in a hurry.

B.Because they are strange.

C.Because they cannot watch TV.

D.Because they have other schedules.

Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man if you are a woman ! This often works very well though I don't know why.

Learn to say "Please," "Thank you" and "You're welcome" before you come to the

USA and use them all the time! Always say "Fine" in answer to the question "How are you".

Also, when someone says they will meet you at six o'clock, be sure to be there by six.

Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be "on time. "

All in all, don't worry! Just bring a lot of money and do as I told you. I'm sure you will have a very good start and enjoy your fife here.

•Read the following passage about working in different sized companies.

•Are the sentences 16 - 22 "Right" or "Wrong" ? If there isn't enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong", choose "Doesn't say".

•For each sentence, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.

CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY WITH CARE

Small is beautiful. That, at least, is the conclusion of new research examining how satisfied secretaries are in different sized firms. "We have found that people who work for small or medium-sized companies work harder and are more committed," says Catrin Morgan, author of one of the latest studies in this field. "The smaller the environment, the bigger the part you play as an individual, and the more people notice your absence."

This will come as a surprise to many secretaries. Some recruitment agencies said that secretaries are keen to get positions in the bigger companies. However, smaller companies can be more flexible when it comes to working hours, and have better working conditions, but working for smaller firms is not without its disadvantages. Career development in the form. of courses can be limited, but, on the other hand, employees often feel that they can learn more on the job.

In fact, opportunities for promotion are the same whatever the size of the company. Morgan also says, "Our research shows that in a company of fewer than 50 people, employers can actually see what their employees are producing and then give them bonuses as appropriate."

The new research focuses on the number of secretaries employed in small companies.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Doesn't say
