SUBSTANCE ABUSE; WHEN A LOVED ONE NEEDS HELP
Your worst fears have been realized: Someone you love is abusing alcohol or drugs. You may feel helpless
in the face of such a serious problem. However, there are things you can—and should do. Try these tips from the National Clearinghouse for alcohol and Drug Information.
DECIDE TO ACT. Don’t wait for your family members or friends to hit rock bottom before you address the
problem. Consider talking
with a health expert for advice. You can also contact A1-Anon at www.al-anon.alateen.org or call them at
888-4 AL-ANON (888-425-2666)
CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME. Don’t try to discuss the situation when your loved one is drunk or high.
GIVE SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of your loved one’s substance abuse problem “You were recently arrested for DWI.” Try to remain calm and avoid using labels
like alcoholic or addict. Be prepared for the person with a problem to deny it and resent you for bringing it up.
EXPLAIN HOW THE PERSON’S SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROBLEM AFFECTS YOU. Use “I” statements, such as, “I
can’t sleep when you drive drunk.”
ASK YOUR LOVED ONE TO TAKE CONCRETE STEPS to address the problem, such as being evaluated for
substance abuse or entering a treatment program.

Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular “design
museums” that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the
design museums show objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even
place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall.
People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial
technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales—it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store
and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you
the success of a sale.
One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Unlike
the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly
because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum
exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their
understanding.
In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to
satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Design Museum, for example,
shows a collection of mass—produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian
fishtins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may
also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually
attractive toys collected in our everyday life.
45. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they_______.
A. show more technologically advanced productsB. show why the products have sold well
C. help increase the sales of productsD. attract more people than store windows do
46. The author believes that most design museum visitors_______.
A. do not admire mass-produced productsB. are puzzled with technological exhibits
C. dislike the exhibits in art museumsD. know the exhibits very well
47. The choices open to design museums________.
A. are not as strict as those to art museumsB. are not aimed to interest the public
C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitorsD. often contain precious exhibits
48. The best title for this passage is_______.
A. The forms of design museumsB. The exhibits of design museums
C. The nature of design museumsD. The choices open to design museums

C
You sit in your favorite reading chair and feel the weight of the book in your lap. This is going to be a long
1,200 pages. A little intimidated, you turn to the first page. The title of the chapter makes sense, but after
three sentences there is a word that is completely foreign to you. Dont take the book back to the library
yet. There are five simple rules that can make reading Les Miserables enjoyable, if not a breeze.
#5—Keep two dictionaries handy. Unless you are a master of the English language, there will be some words
that completely blow your mind. Don’t be intimidated. By keeping a dictionary nearby, you’ll get through it.
You’ll find that the mystery word will be repeated, and you’ll actually learn it. Every now and then you might also have the delight of using one of those thousand dollar
words in conversation.
The second dictionary you’ll need is French to English. In most versions, there are a few words that don’t get translated. If you look them up what you’re reading will make much more sense.
#4—Don’t talk to anyone about the book until you’ve done. People give away endings. It’s a fact of life. And people also interrupt things. Don’t listen to others’ interpretations until you form your own. It will be much more interesting, and you may get
something completely different out of it. Also, while you’re reading it’s hard enough to understand what’s
happening. You’ll understand the symbolism when you’ve done, so don’t worry.
#3—Most assumptions(假设) are safe; names mean nothing. If you think they’re talking about someone, they
probably are. Don’t worry if you’re thinking, “But that sounds like” If it is, you’ll feel smart, and if it’s not,
then you’ll be surprised. Half the fun of reading the book is figuring out who “the man in the street” or “the
woman in Luxembourg” is. So, let your mind wander, and don’t ever think. But his name is…
#2—Re-read things. Victor Hugo weaves a beautiful but complicated tale. Don’t feel bad if you don’t get
something the first time. If you re-read parts you don’t understand, you’ll get much more from the book.
With Les Miserables, if you don’t know someone’s characteristics, motivations, and experiences, then what
happens next will mean nothing.
And the # 1 rule for reading Les Miserables is that sleep is a good thing. When you can’t see the page any more, give it a rest. Also, reading while half-asleep means you probably won’t catch the
nuances(细微差异). So resist the temptation to read all night, and try to sleep, all right?
Now that you know these simple rules, tackling this masterpiece will be no sweat.
49. The writer wants to tell us_______.
A. Les Miserable is an interesting bookB. reading famous works is boring
C. how to read Les MiserablesD. the importance of dictionaries
50. What can we learn from paragraph two?
A. We can learn a lot by using dictionary.
B. Dictionary is a useful tool for reading.
C. Everyone is a master of the English language.
D. If you are keeping a dictionary nearby, you will have no difficulty in reading.
51. Paragraph four suggests that_______.
A. you should never exchange your mind with other people from beginning to the end is the best way of
reading
B. you have some necessary discussions with other readers when you read
C. you try to find some quiet place to read
D. you ensure that you have your own idea and opinion about what you’ve read
52. What style do you think is the article?
A. A study guide.B. A speech.C. A book guide.D. A book report.

Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid
sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for
export at good price. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping
to increase demand it causes an increased need for labor, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment.
It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as
much, the price of your television programs would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost
more. And perhaps the most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products
and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament(国会) govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the
promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will
not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see
product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has
good value.
Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of.
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He
was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.
If its messages were nothing but information, it would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice
of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive advertising it would be so boring that no one would pay any attention
to. But perhaps that is what the well-know television person wants.
53. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that______.
A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising
B. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money
C. advertising costs more money than everything else
D. money on advertising is worth spending
54. In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?
A. Getting greater fame.B. Providing more jobs.
C. Raising living standards.D. Reducing newspaper cost.
55. The writer thinks that the well-known TV person is______.
A. quite right in passing his judgment on advertising
B. interested in nothing but the buyers’ attention
C. correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information
D. obviously unfair in his views on advertising
56. In the writer’s opinion, _______.
A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information
B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over
C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyers
D. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates
ought to go, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more
responsible citizens than those who don’t go.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school
graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving
taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the competition for admission to graduate school.
Others find no interest in their studies, and drop out –often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much.
But that is a condemnation(谴责)of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world,
and they are partly right. We,ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot
take in an army of untrained 18 year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in
an army of trained 22-year-olds, either.
Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be
the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have
been looking at all those surveys upside down, it seems, and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered
college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent(clever), ambitious, happy, liberal, or
quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those
successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is
heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if little schooling is good, more has to
be much
better. But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up.
57. According to the passage all of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.
A. about half of the high school graduates continue their studies at school
B. college graduates are believed to be able to earn more money
C. administrators often encourage college students to drop out
D. more and more young people are found unfit for college.
58. Which of the following is one of some observers’ opinions?
A. The students expect so much that they are not satisfied with the hard college life.
B. The economic situation is so discouraging that the youth have to attend college.
C. College should improve because of so much campus unhappiness.
D. Colleges provide more chances of good jobs than anywhere else.
59. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Our college experience proves that those surveys are incorrect.
B. The surveys may remind us of our beautiful college experiences.
C. The surveys should all be re-examined according to our college experiences.
D. Our college experiences may make us misunderstand the results of the surveys.
60. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To argue against the idea that college is the best place for all young people.
B. To put forward an idea that college should not be the first choice.
C. To value young people’s further education in colleges.
D. To persuade young people into working after the completion of high school.
