Passage One

A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”

Passage Two

Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more

interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of C. a buyer will get something useful D. nothing is worth buying

48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.

B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.

this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?

A. Children are interested in some packages of products.

B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.

C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.

D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.

A. a buyer will get something free of charge B. a buyer will get something useless

C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.

D. “Economy Size” doesn’t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money.

49. What does the word “them” (Line 6, Para. 1) refer to? _________.

A. Small gifts B. Pictures C. Games D. Products 50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A. Package is just an advertisement. B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.

C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.

D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.

Passage Three

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that

of

William

Shakespeare.

Every

Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part

of

the

common

property

of

English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of
