passage 2
  When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner ignore the waste behind youof speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet-an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and resulits point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging.
  Expressed very simply our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged to gether—but with some facts, or input recei
ving greater sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influedced to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders ( whether respectfully or not ) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing(发人深思) answers.

passage.3
It is plain that in the year 2020 everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.
There will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics.
We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well as our physical world population: by Malthus in about 1800’by Cripples in about 1900. it was and the second time by using the new fertilizers. In the year 2020, starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the herdity(遗传) of plants and animals –by shaping our own biological environment.
Now I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine—the operator. By the year 2020, the repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were over long ago; and the mental tedium(乏味) will go the way of physical exhaustion. Thoday we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled; but in the y
ear 2020 all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change; it is as inevitable as the year 2020 itself.

passge.4
Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people’s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones ), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems. However psychologists distinguish between“sound”and “noise”.“Sound”is measured physically in decibels(分贝).“Noise”cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intens
ity”depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not botered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds that they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.
16. According to the passage people_________.
A. can not work better in a noisy situation
B. will suffer from complete deafness because of noise pollution

D. may cooperate well in a noisy surrounding
17. “Sound”, as defined by the psychologist，_________.
A. can be measured in the same way that “noise” in measured
B. may be extremely harmful to health
C. is not at all different from “noise”
D. can be measured by machines
18. Peple waiting at an airport_________.
A. enjoy hearing airplanes taking off and landing
B. are usually not troubled by the noise
C. can easily tell sound from noise
D. are often physically affected by the noise
19. People enjoy listenting to music________.
A. though they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound in fact
B. because it does not have any negative effect
C. because they do not have to tolerate the noise around them
D. even though it is sometimes unpleasant hearing strange sounds
20. We can conclude from the passage that we need to control noise pollution if__________.
A. we want to stay both psychologically and physically healthy
B. we don’t want to be physically dent(削弱)
C. we want to cooperate well
D. we don’t want to be anxious
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.
It seems to me that many British newspapers aren’t really newspaper at all. They contain news. It is true, but much of this news only appears in print because it is guaranteed to shock, surprise appears in print because it is guaranteed to shock, surprise or cause a chuckle(轻声笑).
What should we expect to find in a real newspaper? Interesting political articles? Accurate report of what has been happening in distant corners of the world？ Full coverage of grea
t sporting event? In depth interviews with leading personalities? It is a sad fact that in Britain the real newspapers, the ones that reort the facts, sell in thousands, while the popular papers that set out to shock or amuse have a circulation of several million. One inescapable(不可避免) conclusion is that the vast majority of British readers do not really want a proper newspaper at all. They just want a few pages of entertainment.
I buy the same newspaper every day. In this paper, political matters, both British and foreign, are covered in full. The editorial column may support government policy on one issue and oppose it on another. There is a full page of book reviews and quoted daily. So are the exchange rates of the world’s major currencies. The sports correspondents are among the best in the country, while the standard of the readers’ letters in absolutely first class.
If an intelligent person were to find a copy of this paper 50 years from now. he or she would still find it entertaining, interesting and instructive.
My favorite newspaper is obviously very different from those popular papers that have a circulation of several million. But that does not mean that it is “better” or that they are “wor
se”. Will not comparing like with dislike. A publisher printing a newspaper with a circulation of several million is running a highly successful commercial operation. The people who buy this product are obviously satisfied customers and in a free society everybody should have the right to buy whatever kind of newspaper he pleases. 
21. What kind of news can be found most in the newspaper with a circulation of several millions?
22. What does the author conclude about the British readers?
23. What is the attiude of the author toward the popular papers?
24. What kind of newspaper does the author always buy?
25. What’s the best title for the passage?
