Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or utifinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, Bt Cqnd D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible effect. The first sight of you bums its way into your new acquaintance's eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.

Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response.I have a friend,Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes,Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone and other popular publications. Robert has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad (素描冊). One glance at his pictures of famous people, and you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.

Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he's finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the subject. Often a puzzled look comes over the subjeefs face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, "well, er, that is great. But it really is not me”. The crowd's convincing echo of “Oh yes it is !" drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world's view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people's personalities so well. He said, “It is simple. I just look at them." Almost every side of people's personalities is evident from their appearance, their gesture, the way they move.

First impressions are incredible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard(轟炸)us every second, people's heads are spinning. They must fbrm quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you , they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data that they deal with fbr a long time.

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

My dad was a plumber(水管工)for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in the class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?

One girl in our class always made firn of me because my dad is a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would always say things like, “that is gross (粗俗的)I must admit that I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.

This girl lived a few streets away from us, and one winter day —the day her older sister was getting married—the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father, the lawyer called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told him that my father was a plumber, and he called. My father went right over and took me with him (maybe he was hoping that the lawyer's daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet , helped them clean up everything, and didn't take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl "If I ever need a lawyer, I will be happy to call your dad.”

As we walked to our car, he said to me, "Do you believe he didn't know where the main shut-off valve (閥)was? What a dumb ass.”

From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dump Ass.

When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my father showed him was the main shut-off valve.

I have always been proud to say that I am a plumber's daughter.
