music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the
“Muzak(音乐广播网)” was 43 simply to create a soothing（抚慰的） atmosphere. Recently, however, it’s become big business --- thanks in part to recent research, Dr. Ronald Milliman, an American 44 expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production --- by as much as a third.
But, it has to be 45 music. A fast one has no effect at all on 46 . Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably how shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to 47 items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn’t always solution. Dr. Milliman found, for example, that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which 48 overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to 49 the customers moving――unless of course, the satisfying in digestion leads to scolds.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term these specialists 50 when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the 51 like their new environment. Then, when the fresh feeling 52 , they begin to dislike the city，the country, the people there, and 53 else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and，as a result, 54 their life.
There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public 55 system―the telephone, post office, or transportation―may be hard to work out. The simplest things seem to be big 56 . The language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock still 57 most people．Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who 58 had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, those people find they do not have 59 established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity. They have to build a new self-image. 60 makes them have a feeling of disorientation(无方向). This feeling may be home-sickness. when homesick, people like staying 61 _ all the time. They want to protect themselves from the _ 62 __ environment, and create an escape anywhere for a sense of safety. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for a _ 63 __term，but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and _ 64 experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.

(A)
I arrived at my mother’s home for
our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother
was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their
beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the
“What is this?” I asked.
“Oh?” Mom said, “That’s Mama’s quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right.
“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes,” she said. “I’m still working on it. See, this is what I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched(缝) a piece of cloth with these words: “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh, this is so nice, Mom,” I said. It seemed that by completing my grandmother’s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another.

(C)
You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you're yawning with him, though you're not tired.
This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.
Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. “Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(内部的)responses, ” he explained. “There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals can spread to another person. For example, there're the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. ”
Hugo Critchley further explained, “Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person, we even copy his behivour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you’re sitting---it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it’s our way of telling each other that we’re partners. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. ”
So, what lessons can we learn from this? “spend time with happy people―otherwise your health could suffer, ” said Critchley. “When we’re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we’re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us. ”
72. According to Hugo Critchley, ________.
A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions
B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold
C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses
D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions
73. The underlined word “synchronise” in paragraph 4 means “________”.
A. move slowly B. change rapidly
C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly
74. From the passage we can learn ________.
A. sadness is as contagious as happiness
B. anger is less contagious than friendliness
C. surprise is more contagious than smile
D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions
75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.
B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans.
C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.
D. People tend to communicate more with body language.
(D)
I’m afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the offences they commit are becoming proportionately more serious. I only wish we didn’t have to admit this, but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what’s wrong with our society that our children apparently couldn’t care less about law and order.
The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples off a basket or a packet of sweets from chain store are nearly over. I had occasion to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” he said, “You must be joking. That’s kid’s stuff.” I may add that he was aged eleven. In other words, today’s young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They’ve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway, I think we have come to the point where it’s all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves.
Faced as they are with a society that frequently rejects them on the grounds of colour, race or low academic ability, these children turn to crime as a means of increasing their self-admiration. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing（美化）the role of the criminal, they are quick to identity with these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and magistrates that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming inadequate to deal with the rise in juvenile delinquency（少年犯罪）. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and treatment of their delinquency, rather than on the old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves are well aware that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to rob, do damage on purpose and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize. I don’t like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “it’s nothing to do with me” attitude we have adopted for so long. We must unite in a common demand for stricter and more disciplined methods against these young offenders.
76. The children nowadays ________.
A. are unable to learn about law and order
B. have already known about law and order
C. hardly care about law and order
D. are greatly concerned about law and order
77. “Sweets from a chain store?” means that ________.
A. he stole some sweets from a chain store
B. he sneaked into a chain store for sweets
C. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegal
D. stealing sweets from a chain store was unbelievably foolish
78. Young people have seen so much violence and crime on TV and in films that they________.
A. would like to have a try themselves
B. have the idea of what crime is
C. can easily tell a criminal from a hero
D. have become tired of it
79. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To call people’s attention to the seriousness of juvenile delinquency.
B. To call for more severe punishments of juvenile delinquents.
C. To call on people to change their attitude towards juvenile delinquents.
D. To call on people to stop young people from committing crime.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. The influences of modern communication
B. The usefulness of face-to-face contact in social settings
C. The wrong use of the mass media
D. The harmful influence of the mass media
E. The changes in the mass communication
F. The possession of information
80.
Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.
81.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communications industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
82.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into million of homes.
83.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.
84.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.
