  Passage Two转自环 球 网 校edu24ol.com

  ?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

  ?We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”“And Paul-why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.?

  Why do we go wrong about our friends——or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he said, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.?

  “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.?

  How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says quare with(符合) the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.?

  26. In the first paragraph, the writer recalls some things that happened between him and his friends. He ________.?转自环 球 网 校edu24ol.com

  A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to him?

  B. feels he may not have “read” his friends' true feeling correctly?

  C. is sorry that his friends let him down?

  D. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friends, Helen

  27. In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying, “You're a lucky dog.” He is saying that ________.?

  A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly?

  B. this saying means the same as “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal.”

  C. the word “dog” shouldn't be used to apply to people?

  D. sometimes the words give a clue(线索) to the feeling behind the words?

  28. This passage tries to tell you how to ________.?

  A. avoid mistakes about money and friends?

  B. “size up” people?

  C. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you?

  D. keep people friendly without trusting them?

  29. In listening to a person the important thing is ________.?

  A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eye?

  B. to listen to how he pronounces his words?

  C. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his posture?

  D. not to believe what he says?转自环 球 网 校edu24ol.com

  30. The phrase ‘puts you down’ (Para 2, Line 7) can be replaced by another phrase “________”.?

  A. makes you humble B. reduces you to silence?

  C. press you down D. makes you sad

  Passage Three

  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

  It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to withhold consent(不同意), in all transactions(交易) the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.?

  The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona(巴塞罗那). Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(补偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot?tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.

  31. A decimum was ________.?

  A. the wife's inheritance from her father

  B. a gift of money to the new husband?

  C. a written contract?

  D. the wife's right to receive one?tenth of her husband's property?

  32. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing(地位) of the wife in marriage was ________.?

  A. higher than that of her husband

  B. lower than that of her husband?

  C. the same as that of her husband

  D. higher than that of a single woman?

  33. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field??

  A. Some of the land Miro had inherited

  B. A tenth of Miro's land?

  C. Money for household expenses

  D. Money from Miro's inheritance
