二、阅读理解（共3道试题，共60分。）
1.    The large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.

1).The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A. most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later
B. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of England
C. many French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the language
D. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages
满分：4分

A. war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Ages
B. the English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and France
C. France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in England
D. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France

3).The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.
A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle Ages
B. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian words
C. French military terms have disappeared from the English language
D. many words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words

2.    Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.
　　For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.
　　On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.

1).According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________.
A. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear
B. is less used than words
C. is a method often used by people who cannot speak
D. can tell something that words cannot

3).Which of the following is NOT true
A. There is more eye contact between people who like each other.
B. Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about.

3.    As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
　  Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
　  The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" and "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

1).People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because___
A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves
B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
C. they are traveling fast all the time
D. they are becoming busier with their work

A. not fearing stress

A. We can find some ways to avoid stress
B. Stress is always harmful to people
C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress
满分：4分
4).In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to____
A. "making a choice between 'flight' and 'fight'"
B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"
C. "responding to crises quickly"
D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties"
满分：4分
