King Solomon, the most powerful and the most respected Israeli king, once said, “Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value a man who speaks the truth.” He wrote a book called Proverbs, which is part of the Bible and studied carefully even today.

There was a college graduate in Wuhan who shared his own experience about being truthful. It is a good lesson for everyone who reads of his experience.

Mr. Lou went to work for a factory making electrical machines. On the first day of his job, he accidentally broke an electrical machine because of his inexperience. Since it was very expensive, it caused Mr. Lou to become frightened about what his boss might say to him. The machine was worth his six months’ salary.

He decided to try and repair it. After working on it for about 2 hours, he could make it function, but it didn’t work as well as it should.

After spending a restless night, Mr. Lou felt he must tell his boss the truth. The next morning, he showed the broken machine to his boss nervously, for he didn’t know what the result would be. To his great surprise, the boss praised him for being truthful and even later gave him a rise.

Mr. Lou never forgot this dramatic experience. He had to make the choice of hiding his mistake by saying nothing or of telling the truth. The boss had found an honest new employee who would prove later to be of great value to the company.

Being honest makes a person worthy of trust, which is so important for a family, a company, and even a country.

60. The underlined part “honest lips” (in Paragraph 1) most probably refer to “_____”.

   A. people who speak the truth               B. lips of honest people      

   C. people loyal to their king                  D. lips of people loyal to the king

61. What did Mr. Lou do first after he broke the electrical machine?

   A. He hid it in a secret place.                B. He reported it to the boss at once.

   C. He repaired it himself.                    D. He replaced it with a used one.

62. What can we learn from the passage?

   A. Mr. Lou was excited and happy to have the machine repaired.

   B. Mr. Lou told the boss the truth in order to get a rise later.

   C. The boss was disappointed and sad about the broken machine.

   D. The boss thought honest employees were of great value to the company.

63. By telling the story of Mr. Lou, the author wants to show that _____.

   A. mistakes can sometimes bring good luck to a person

   B. being truthful is a most important character of a person

   C. employees should always be careful with their work

In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U. S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.

The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.

Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.

56. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan?

A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.

B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.

C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.

D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.

57. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because ______.

A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest

B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money

C. the buyer has to pay a down payment

D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money

58. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?

A. He might lose his job.

B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.

C. He will have to sell what he has bought.

D. He will go into debt.

59. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that ________.

A. purchasing power is strengthened

B. employment might be increased

C. people develop a good habit of saving money

D. young couples are able to furnish their homes

60. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to ________.

A. increase employment

B. avoid depressions

C. ensure that businesses make good profits

D. ensure that people can pay for what hey buy

第二節(jié) 語法填空（共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分）

閱讀下面短文，按照句子結(jié)構(gòu)的語法性和上下文連貫的要求，在空格處填入一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~或使用括號中詞語的正確形式填空，并將答案填寫在答題卡標(biāo)號為31-40的相應(yīng)位置上。

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs. But in the executive(主管的) circle,   31   can become a disadvantage.

While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is   32 

(harm) to a woman. Handsome male executives are considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead  33  their success. Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive  34  ；people do not connect their success with ability   35  with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. However, interestingly, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes  36  (connect) more to personal relationships and less to ability.

Attractive women are not thought to be able. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman, a writer,

  37  recently made a study, asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote  38  them. The results showed that attractive males  39  (complete) defeated unattractive men, but the women   40  (rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.
