II. Cloze Test （10 points， 1 point each）
However careful one may be， he cannot possibly listen carefully to everything that he hears. There are 11 of reasons for this. One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day. In addition to the numerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak， we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front of a television set. 14， it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said； our mind might be 15 elsewhere. Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we don『t always listen carefully. A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 is speaking to us. Furthermore， we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening. For example， voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that is being said.

III. Reading Comprehension （30 points， 2 points each）
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Many of today『s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto. When he was young， Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores. In 1869， he sep up his own shop in downtown Toronto. He had many competitors， but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success. He offered a unique style of trade， but as was expected， all the other shopkeepers laughed at him， believing he would eventually fail. However， Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated； he came up with a brand new notion of business – 「Goods satisfactory， or money refunded.」 He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.
With a sharp sense of what the public wanted， he went out of the way to meet their needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.
Eaton『s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind. It was distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites. It became part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list』s success was that Eaton gained the respect of this customers； they trusted him for good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland， Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees： better working conditions， shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer. In all this， he was a leader.
21. The best description of Eaton is that ______.
A. he was the richest merchant in Toronto
B. he was a successful technical inventor
C. he introced new sales practices
D. he changed people『s ideas about businessmen
22. Eaton『s success lay primarily in that ____.
A. he sold only good quality goods
B. he was the first person to provide good service
C. he treated his employees better than any of his competitors
D. he won respect from his customers
23. From the passage we can infer that ______.
A. Eaton invented the idea of the internet shopping
B. Eaton drove other businessmen to failure
C. Eaton never sold his goods on credit
D. Eaton was defeated by his rivals
24. The best title for this passage is _____.
A. Good Goods， of Money Refunded
B. Eaton， a Sales Inventor
C. Customers『 Respect， a Secret of Success
D. Eaton『s list， a Welcome Event in Sales History
25. Eaton『s List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _____.
A. good-quality goods at reasonable prices
B. goods at unreasonable prices
C. good-quality goods at unreasonable prices
D. poor-quality goods at reasonable prices
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The threat of a global outbreak （疾病大爆發） of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and proction of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries， particularly in Southeast Asia， where the bird flu virus （病毒） has spread since 1997， must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks. In addition， the way such farm birds as chickens and cks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed； there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared， it will be a threat to every other country.
The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly， an outbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization （WHO） estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu， which killed 50 million， the number would be much higher. Secondly， such an outbreak may cause great financial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu， which began in December 2003， has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent. If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year， $800 billion would be lost.
Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003， the virus remains mainly a disease animals. However， the more animals that die of the disease， the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics. If the international community works together efficiently， man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.
26. Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu， the international community should ________.
A. establish new markets
B. work together effectively
C. stop birds from flying to other countries
D. raise fewer chickens and cks
27. The second paragraph focuses on ______.
A. World Health Organization
B. flus in Hong Kong and Spain
C. the economy of Southeast Asia
D. possible effects of a bird flu outbreak
28. The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.
A. 63 B. 124 C. 7.4 million D. 50 million
29. In the third paragraph， the author is mainly interested in _____.
A. stimulating financial growth B. recing economic damages
C. saving human lives D. protecting bird species
30. The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _______.
A. the origin and history of bird flu
B. the importance of international cooperation
C. the possible dangers of a national outbreak
D. the significance of preventing it from spreading
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. 「We worry more about their safety in the holidays，」 explains one mother from North London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and potentially dangerous city， they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room！ Well， that『s an extreme picture of the UK today， but many parents are worried about how much freedom they can give their children ring the holidays and at weekends.
Weekends are not the only time to worry！ Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the Media stories help increase parents fears， but is the UK really so dangerous？
Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents. 「At least our parents can keep tabs on us，」 says 16-year-old Julia. 「So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.」 Mobiles are not just expensive toys； they help keep young people safe. Most significantly， they help keep young people safe. Most significantly， they make parents feel better. Only one problem is， though， that some young people have been attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.
Young people like going out with friends， but they now need to learn how to get home safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends， but they， too， need to be careful and never give their personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now school， television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.
31. Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children ______.
A. wander around on bus in the city
B. chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms
C. make questionable friends on the net
D. are taken little care of by teachers
32. For the sake of the safety， many parents send their kids to school ________.
A. by car B. by bus C. by train D. by public transport
33. Most significantly， mobile phones _______.
A. enable parents keep a close watch on their kids
B. help keep teenagers safe
C. make parents feel less worried
D. protect teenagers from being attacked
34. Teenagers should never give any strangers ______.
A. their mobile phone numbers B. their family address
C. their personal information D. their parents『 names
35. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. freedom for teenagers in summer holidays
B. safety for teenagers in summer holidays
C. activities for teenagers in summer holidays
D. troubles for teenagers in summer holidays

There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another， usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However， teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people， nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill， you should be able to share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us， from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society， should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know， however little it might be， with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.

Ⅰ. Supply the missing conclusion. (20%)
Directions: Study the following passage carefully and write a conclusion in no more than 100 words. Make sure that the tone and vocabulary you use are in unity with the passage provided.
Americans Are Friendly to Strangers
I came to the United States one year ago and I had no idea about life in the United States and American traditions, except that life was complicated and people are strange. At the time I arrived at J. F. Kennedy Airport, I felt very happy because I am fond of traveling around the world. Coming to America had been one of my dreams. A few minutes later, however, I felt afraid. I asked myself why I had come to this strange world and what I was doing here. I remembered what my friends at home said about Americans treating strangers. After I attended college, however, I discovered the opposite of what I had expected.
Even though American social relations are complex, hard to form, and hard to maintain, I managed to bridge the gap and I was able to have close friendships with some Americans. For example, the first semester I attended college, I became friends with one of the American students who used to attend math class with me. We used to study together, go to parties together, and he used to help me a lot with my English. Even though he transferred to another university, we always keep in touch with each other. From my experience, I have come to understand that Americans are generally verbal, and long, silent periods are uncomfortable to them. So, when I sit with Americans, I start a conversation with them by talking about the weather, sports, or about teachers』 skills in the classroom. I think conversations make a friendly atmosphere among people.
My experience of traveling across the country from New Orleans to San Diego also proved to me that I had the wrong idea about Americans. When I told my friends that my brother and I were going to drive across the United States and if they wanted to join me, they said, 「It is dangerous to drive across America. You might get killed by one of the truck drivers or get robbed.」However, we didn』t pay attention to them because we wanted to find out what America is really like and how people treat strangers.
On the way from San Antonio to EL Paso, our car stopped because it ran out of fuel. We got out of the car and waited for anyone to give us a ride. Ten minutes later, a truck pulled off the road. I approached him carefully and I asked him, 「Could you please give us a ride to the nearest gas station?」 He said, 「The nearest station is thirty-five miles away and you might not find anyone who can drive you back to your car. 」 Then he came up with a solution to our problem. He towed our car to the nearest station. When we reached it, I took a fifty-dollar bill from my pocket and handed it to him, but he wouldn』t accept it. He told me that he helped me because we needed help.
Ⅱ. Write an outline. (20%)
Directions: Read the following passage carefully and try to compose an outline for the passage provided.
The Necessity of English Writing for English Majors
English writing is generally the most difficult one in the language competence required for the students majoring in English, considering the great pains student writers take and the slight progress they make in their practice. Most of the beginners think there is no need to practice writing English compositions since their writing skills in Chinese is quite sufficient, and English writing is after all not quite practical for their future work. However, English writing, as a very important part of students』 general language competence and as a means of expressing oneself and of spreading knowledge and information, is necessary and essential for English majors.
The difficulty of English writing frustrates many students so much that they turn to their Chinese writing skills for help. That is natural. In fact, their Chinese writing skills do help their English writing, especially in generating and organizing ideas and details. Meanwhile, Chinese writing is different from English writing in sentence structures and paragraph organizations and their differences in expressions are certainly even bigger. Simply translating Chinese word for word into English cannot make good English writing. Other students hold a wrong view of learning English. They think to learn English is just to memorize a large vocabulary, to master the grammar and to speak fluent English. Once they are proficient in those areas of English, they can naturally handle English writing well. To correct such a one-sided view, one thing must be kept in mind, that is, spoken English is not equal to written English. Oral speech is often rather loose and flexible without precise and proper arrangement. Oral English uses simple everyday language while written English comprises complicated words and sentence structures. Therefore, written English is more demanding, and it requires intentional and intensive practice. English writing course can serve this purpose.
The students』 laziness in observing and thinking partly accounts for their reluctance to practice writing. Writing sharpens and improves thinking. English writing can help students develop the habit and ability of thinking in English and become generally more competent in English. Composition topics can be varied yet close to life. If students have a good habit of observing life and thinking constantly, they won』t bump into topics with empty heads. Keen observation and deep thoughts are necessary for good English writing, and they are also signs for well-ecated people.
Writing can also strengthen students』 abilities in comprehension and oral English. Writing is creative work. After brainstorming, various ideas and pictures may pop into their minds and some beautiful sentences may be written down on a piece of paper, which will last long in their memory. Their written English skills may help to polish and beautify their spoken English and make their oral expression precise and elegant. Writing involves lots of reading. When reading others』 writing, they will be sensitive to various styles and that will quicken their reading speed and comprehension.
Furthermore, English writing is in fact a most practical tool in students』 future career. It will be used in writing telexes, business letters, research papers and public speeches. Every kind of writing has its special style, which needs a careful study and strenuous practice. Yet all those are based on essential skills in English writing that will be covered in an English writing course.
Finally, the required competence for English majors differs from other English learners. English majors are not limited to the command of any particular sphere of the English language, but they must have all-round competence in terms of listening and reading comprehension, spoken ability and writing skills in English, so that they can adopt themselves to various situations in their future work.
No one is born capable of everything. Hard work is the premise of success. To be able to use English freely, we do not only have to read a lot, speak a lot, but also write a lot. English writing practice consolidates students』 overall English competence and enables them to express their ideas and feelings in a more precise, graceful and permanent form.

Passage one
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The term 「flying saucer」refers to strange objects travelling through the earth�s atmosphere at very high speeds.Thousands of people all over the world claim to have seen them.Some believe them to be spaceships from other planets.Others insist that they are a secret type of aircraft being built on earth.Many people maintain that they are only natural phenomena happening under special temperature,light,or weather conditions All reports,however,agree that the strange objects move at extremely high speeds and fail to follow the laws of motion by reversing(逆轉) direction instantly without slowing down.
In the United States,the first flying saucers were reported on June 4,1947,by a private plane pilot.He saw nine objects travelling in the sky.Each was disk�shaped and very bright.Because their movements were compared to those of a 「saucer skimming across the water」, newspaper reporters called them 「flying saucers」.
Some weeks after the first reported sighting,the United States Air Force was given the job of investigating all the reports of flying saucers.Because of the confusing variety of shapes,sizes,and colors reported,the Air Force adopted the term Unidentified Flying Objects(UFO) to describe them.
Since the Air Force officials began their investigation of flying saucers,they have identified most of the objects as stars,planes,man�made satellites,experimental missiles(導彈),or weather phenomena.Some of the UFO reports,including photographs,were deliberate(蓄意的)tricks made to cheat people.
All the research so far has failed to prove that UFOs are spaceships coming from outside the earth.Most investigators agree,however,that more study is needed before the question of whether or not flying saucers really exist can be answered.
21�The term「flying saucer」 is generally used to refer to.
A�spaceships from other planets
B�a secret type of aircraft being built
C�some natural phenomena

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
The American ecator Horace Mann once said:「As an apple is not in any proper sense an apple until it is ripe,so a human being is not in any proper sense a human being until he is ecated.」Ecation is the process through which man attempts to pass on to his children his hard�won wisdom and his ideals of a better world.This process begins shortly after birth,as parents seek to train the infant to behave as his culture demands.Schooling,or formal ecation,consists of experiences that are carefully planned to help young people learn what alts consider important for them to know and how they should respond to choices.
While almost everyone accepts the goal of developing skills in the three R�s—reading,writing and arithmetic—it often seems impossible to reach agreement on any goal beyond that.In the broadest terms,the conflict over ecational goals can be viewed as a conflict between two groups of people—conservatives and liberals(自由派).
The conservatives tend to identify a desirable ecation with the transmission of the cultural knowledge,offering courses featuring the three R�s at the elementary level and academic(普通文化課的)studies or strong vocational(職業的)or business courses in the secondary school.They stress training of the mind and development of abilities.
The liberals tend to be interested in the development of the 「whole child,」not merely in training his mind or in preparing him for alt life in a remote future.They emphasize rich,meaningful school living in the present,and they view subject matter as a resource for total human development rather than as a goal in itself.They believe that content should be acquired not for its own sake but as a means of encouraging thought and inquiry.
26�What Horace Mann means is that.
A�ecation is essential for man�s growth
B�an apple is delicious only when it is ripe
C�a man is like a child without proper ecation
D�ecation can be compared to the growth of an apple tree【】
27�At school,children.
A�find it hard to win wisdom
B�have choices in what they learn
C�are taught what alts select for them to learn
D�learn how they should respond to teachers� questions【】
28�The three R�s does not include.
A�arithmetic
B�writing
C�reading
D�reasoning【】
29�It�s most unlikely that the conservatives should emphasize.
A�the teaching of basic cultural knowledge
B�courses in three R�s in the elementary school
C�courses such as modern physics and marketing at the secondary level
D�the development of the student as an indivial person【】
30�The liberals hold that.
A�the goal of school ecation is mainly to prepare students for alt life
B�teaching activities should be rich and meaningful to the students
C�course content should be learned and remembered for future use
D�book knowledge is the only resource for learning【】
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It has been a wide�spread belief that the American family is dying.But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever.This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.
The American family is changing,not dying:It is becoming smaller,men and women are becoming more equal,and the divorce rate is higher.But despite the high divorce rate,marriage has never been more popular.The majority of divorced people remarry,but only 2% marry more than twice.Most marriages last a long time,and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages.Depending on the specific situation,there�s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.
There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home.So far the amount of ecational or development time hasn�t varied very much,whether or not the mother works outside the home.In fact,working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.
The study shows that television is by far the most significant new child�care arrangement of this century.The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television.
School is the second most time�consuming activity for children.They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school.A larger proportion of children go to school now than ever before,and they stay in school longer.Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in day�care centers(日托站) has almost doubled in recent years.Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity,the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.
31�The main idea of this article is that.
A�the American family is dying
B�young people today don�t want to get married
C�the American family is changing,but it is stronger than ever
D�ecation has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family【】
32�Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A�Marriage is more popular than before.
B�Many divorced people remarry.
C�The majority of marriages last long.
D�Working mothers devote less time to their children.【】
33�The author of this article believes that.
A�the American family is here to stay
B�children should not watch so much television
C�mothers should not work when their children are small
D�teenage marriages should be encouraged【】
34�What is the most significant new child�care arrangement of this century?
A�The day�care center.
B�Television.
C�The school
D�Development time.【】
35�According to the writer,which two major factors have led to the belief that the American family is dying?
A�The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.
B�The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.
C�Divorces are becoming increasingly more and many teenage marriages break up.
D�Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them.【】

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When Rowland Hill, little more than a hundred years ago, first advocated the introction of cheap postage in England, he had to face many opponents of the scheme; some said that it would not pay, others that it was unworkable. But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one penny. The gloomy prophecies (預言) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.
Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed. The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence. Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(貼上) to it an adhesive(粘的) postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all. Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere.�
Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great financial success, the new scheme was, before long, adopted by every civilized country in the world——a final tribute(明證) to the wisdom and vision of its promoter.
21. 「Some said that it (i.e. Rowland Hill\'s scheme) would not pay」 means ________.
A. some said that people would refuse to pay for the scheme�
B. some said that the scheme would not be profitable�
C. some said that the scheme was not economical�
D. some said that they did not have enough money to pay for the scheme�
22. Rowland Hill\'s system is known as the 『Penny post』 ________.�
A. because it undertook the delivery of all inland letters for the charge of one penny�
B. since it was established late in 1839�
C. because many people who used its facilities were poor�
D. as a result of the gloomy prophecies of those who had said scheme would not pay
23. Postal facilities were extended after the introction of the Penny Post ________.
A. because the volume of correspondence increased�
B. as a result of improvements in transport and administration�
C. until the first world war�
D. provided that the cost of sending a letter remained at one penny�
24. Under the old system the poor had frequently been compelled to refuse letters ________.�
A. because they could not afford to pay the high postage rates which had to be paid on receipt of a letter�
B. unless the charge on them was less than four pence�
C. although rates varied according to the distance letters were carried�
D. because many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere�
25. The new postal scheme was adopted by every civilized country in the world ________.
A. because it enabled the poor, as well as the rich, to exchange news�
B. as a tribute to the wisdom and vision of its promoter�
C. since the scheme, in addition to its convenience, had proved financially successful�
D. a hundred years after its adoption by the English
Passage Two
�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 ________.�
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(線索) 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�
30. The phrase 『puts you down』 (Para 2, Line 7) can be replaced by another phrase 「________」.�
A. makes you humble B. reces 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(拋棄), 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(巴塞羅那). Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(補償). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律學家) to have a contract ly 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�
34. Could a husband sell his wife\'s inheritance?�
A. No, under no circumstances.
B. Yes, whenever he wished to.�
C. Yes, if she agreed.
D. Yes, if his father in law agreed.�
35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?�
A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.�
B. The wife was protected from desertion.�
C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.
D. The husband was given control over his wife\'s property. PART TWO
