成都理工大学外国语学院〈 大学英语精品课程: 四级阅读补充材料〉(CET-4 Reading Comprehension Supplementary Materials)Directions: There are 30 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggestedanswers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage 1Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that youhave made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you havemade a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changedagain. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold aperson's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on anelevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, considerwhat you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance tosize them up ( 打量)and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since beingclose to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emita signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact,what sociologist Erring Goffman (1963) calls Ma dimming of the lights." Youlook down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into anotherpassenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on anelevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and youare likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you tellinganother person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance,a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gazeat each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another mana 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “1 know you", "1 am interested in you," or“You look peculiar and I am curious about you." This type of stare oftenproduces hostile feelings.1. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that__.A) every glance has its significanceB) staring at a person is an expression of interestC) a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD) a glance conveys more meaning than words2. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is_ .A) to look into another passenger's eyesB) to avoid eye contact with other passengersC) to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD) to keep a distance from other passengers3. By "a dimming of the lights" (Line 13,Para.l )Erving Goffman means_ .A) closing one's eyesB) turning off the lightsC) ceasing to glance at othersD) reducing gaze-time to the minimum4. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel_ .A) depressedB) uneasyC) curiousD) amused5. The passage mainly discusses_ .A) the limitations of eye contactB) the exchange of ideas through eye contactC) proper behavior in situationsD) the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication.Passage 2Geraldo Rivera is well known for his compassionate investigative reportson WABC-TV Eyewitness News. He has done exposes ( 揭露性报道)of NewYork City's welfare hotels, the over-pricing of prescription drugs, and drugabuse. In 1971, he received the Associated Press Broadcaster of the Year awardfor the program Drug Crisis in East Harlem. He received the award again in1972 for the program Migrants, Dirt Cheap.His most famous expose however was done on the horrible conditions atStaten Island6 7 B 9 .s Willowbrook State School. It is the world's largest institutionfor the mentally disabled. His investigation began when he and his camera crewgained access to one of the buildings. Geraldo's emotionally charged reportsexposed the unsanitary （ 不卫生的）conditions and neglectful, often abusive,treatment of the patients. He cried over what he discovered, and he made hisviewers cry, too. The programs created a public plea for reform, and changeswere made.

Thisdeprives （ 剥夺）the dying patient of significant family members during the lastfew days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, whichis an important learning experience.Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately500 terminally iii patients in order to find out what they could teach us and howwe could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of theirfamilies as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patientswho were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potentialoutcome.It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understandthese patients1 communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears,and fantasies ( 幺J想) . Most of our patients welcomed another human beingwith whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble.Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be keptup-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near:We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly werebetter able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stageof acceptance prior to death.11. The elders of contemporary Americans__.A) were often absent when a fomily member was born or dyingB) were quite unfamiliar with birth and deathC) usually witnessed the birth or death of a family memberD) had often experienced the fear of death as part of life12.

It may be concluded from the passage that__.A) dying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of deathB） most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients needC） dying patients should be truthfully informed of their conditionD） most patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitablePassage4The oldest and simplest method, then, of describing differences inpersonality was to classify people according to types. Such a system is called aTypology.A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400B.C. A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, orhumors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed adefinite type of personality.The four humors were blood, yellow bile （ 月旦汁） ,black bile, and phlegm （ 黏液 ）.A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had aharmonious （ 和 谐 的 ） personality. If a person had too much blood, he wascalled sanguine, or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellowbile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made aperson melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegmcaused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists havelong since discarded Hippocrates9 fluid theory. But the names of the humors,corresponding to these temperaments （ 气 质 ） ，have survived and are still useful,to some extent, in describing personality.Other features of people, such as their faces and physiques, have also beenused to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories andclassifications may also include factors such as heredity, the environment,intelligence, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology areinvolved in these theories. Because of the complexity of human personality,present-day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologistsvary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.16. This passage focuses on_______ .A. the history of the system of typologyB. important factors in determining personalityC. personality theory and classificationD. important features of human beings17. According to Hippocrates, fluid theory, a person with a perfect balanceof all the four humors in hi m.A. was humorous and good at singingB. had a pleasant and agreeable temperamentC. would always be cheerful and optimisticD. seldom quarreled of fought with others18. Which of the following is NOT true?A. people with too much yellow bile were easily angeredB. the names of the four fluids are still used todayC. people with an oversupply of blood would easily get excitedD. many features of human beings have been used to classify personality19. Modern personality theories and classifications .A. are often very different because personality itself is rathercomplicatedB. involve psychology , biology, and sociologyC. are based only on heredity, the environment, intelligence, andemotional needsD. all of the above20. In the forth-coming paragraphs, the author is most probably going totalk about___ .A. some new interpretations of the Hisppocrates, fluid theoryB. different opinions of psychologists about the factors in determiningpersonalityC. various definitions of typology given by different psychologistsD. the comparison between present-day personality theories and ancientpersonality theoriesPassage 5Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors （ 流星）but alsobecause of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as ourprotective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plantsto make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable.Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormousquantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave theatmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the wallsof their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit ofradiation is called "rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put upwith far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sureabout radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of hisor her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until thebirth of deformed ( 畸形的)children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and,during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a largeamount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported,but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet howmen are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside theprotection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might helpto decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones havebeen found so far.21. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man inthat .A) it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB) it provides sufficient light for plant growthC) it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD) it screens off the falling meteors22. We know from the passage that__ .A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC) radiation is avoidable in space explorationD) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage23. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members__.A) is insignificantB) seems overestimatedC) is enormousD) remains unknown24. It can be inferred from the passage that__.A) the Apollo mission was very successfulB) protection from space radiation is no easy jobC) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers25. The best title for this passage would be__.A) The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB) Research on RadiationC) Effects of Space RadiationD) Importance of Protection Against RadiationPassage 6Although the United Kingdom covers only a small area of the earth's surface,it represents people of many different origins and cultures. Yet all of them areBritish indeed, it would be difficult to find anyone in modern Britain whocould say with certainty that his ancestors had not come to the British Islesfrom somewhere else. Who, then, are today's Britains and what kind of peopleare they?The history of human settlement in Britain goes back to the Stone Agehunters and gatherers who arrived from the European continent about 10,000years ago. The peoples who followed them were settled agriculturalists whokept domestic animals and knew how to make simple pottery. Around 2000 BCthese Stone Age people started to erect huge stone monuments, or henges,possibly for religious purposes. Work on the henges continued into the BronzeAge, until about 1500BC. The most imposing and mysterious of these ancientmonuments is Stonehenge, on windswept Salisbury plain in southwestEngland.Easy communication between the islands and the continental mainland musthave existed and, from earliest times, this encouraged migration. By the end ofthe Bronze Age, around 700BC, Celtic people had arrived from north-westernEurope bringing with them a revolutionary new skill: ironworking. Celtscontinued to come and settle in Britain for about 500 years and, by the time theRomans first landed in 55BC, the Celtic culture was well established. Theearliest written records of Britain's inhabitants come from the Romans whoeventually conquered the various Celtic kingdoms then flourishing in England,Wales and the Scottish Low-lands.26. In this passage the author intends to tell the origin of___.A. the BritishB. the CeltsC. the EnglishD. the Romans27. From the passage we know that .A. everyone in Britain came from the British IslesB. almost everyone came to the British Isles from somewhere elseC. almost everyone in Britain had his or her family origin from the BritishIslesD. almost every British citizen had his or her family origin fromsomewhere else28. According to the passage, the earliest inhabitants in Britain were_____.A. the earliest agriculturalistsB. CeltsC. Stone Age hunters and gatherersD. Romans29. Thanks to_____we can learn about the earliest inhabitants in Britain.A. Celts from north-western EuropeB. Stonehenge on Salisbury plainC. The well-established Celtic cultureD. The Romans occupying the Celtic Kingdoms in Britain30. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?A. There were already religious activities in ancient Britain.B. Communication between the British islands and the continentalmainland was convenient in the earliest times.C. There were many Celtic Kingdoms in Britain when the Romans camein 55 BC.D. There were blacksmiths in Britain before 700 BC.Passage 7The concept of "environment" is certainly difficult and may even bemisunderstood; but we have no handy substitute. It seems simple enough todistinguish between the organism and the surrounding environment and toseparate forces acting on an organism into those that are internal and biologicaland those that are external and environmental. But in actual practice thissystem breaks down in many ways, because the organism and the environmentare constantly interacting so that the environment is modified by the organismand vice versa （ 反之亦然） .In the case of men, the difficulties with the environmental concept are evenmore complicated because we have to deal with man as an animal and with menas a bearer （ 持有者）of culture. If we look at man as an animal and try toanalyze the environmental forces that are acting on the organism, we find thatwe have to deal with things like climate, soil, plants, and such-like factorscommon to all biological situations; but we also find, always, very importantenvironmental influences that we can only class as "cultural", whichmodify the physical and biological factors. But men, as we know him, isalways a bearer of culture; and if we study human culture, we find that it, inturn, is modified by the environmental factors of climate and geography. Wethus easily get into great difficulties from the necessity of viewing culture, atone moment, as a part of the man and, at another moment, as a part of theenvironment.31. Which of the following words can best describe the popular understandingof "environment" as the author sees it?A） Elaborate.B） Prejudiced.C) Faultless.D) Oversimplified.32. According to the author the concept of "environment” is difficult toexplain because___.A) it doesn't distinguish between the organism and the environmentB) it involves both internal and external forcesC) the organism and the environment influence each otherD) the relationship between the organism and the environment is unclear33. In analyzing the environmental forces acting on man the author suggeststhat .A) biological factors are less important to the organism than culturalfactors to manB) man and other animals are modified equally by the environmental forcesC) man is modified by the cultural environment as well as by the naturalenvironmentD) physical and biological factors exert more influence on other organismsthan on man34. As for culture, the author points out that_.A) it develops side by side with environmental factorsB) it is also affected by environmental factorsC) it is generally accepted to be part of the environmentD) it is a product of man's biological instincts35. In this passage, the author is primarily concerned with_.A) the interpretation of the term "environment"B) the discussion on organisms and biological environmentC) the comparison between internal and external factors influencing manD) the evaluation of man's influence on culturePassage 8Together with earthquakes, volcanoes are phenomena which both delight andterrify the human mind at the same time. Some of the most beautiful mountains in theworld, admired by all who see them, are volcanoes. On the other hand, volcanoeshave throughout history caused great destruction. The term volcano is associated withthe island of Vulcano just north of Sicily. In classical times, this was thought to be thehome of the god Vulcan- the god of destruction. Volcanoes have always been objectsof mystery, and this is true today even despite the advances of science.A volcano is a kind of chimney, or “vent" which goes down to a liquid deepinside the earth, called “magma”. Three types of material come out of the vent: a hotliquid called lava, pieces of rock, and great quantities of gas. The lava and rock oftencollect round the vent and form what is known as the volcano's cone. Volcaniceruptions vary between two extremes. In one, the lava comes quietly to the surfaceand flows away as a river, causing little damage except to objects directly in its path.On the other extreme great explosions occur, frequently blowing away the cone andcausing great damage. The great majority of the world's volcanoes are intermediatebetween these two extremes.There are several ways of classifying volcanoes. This is usually done accordingto the type of vent or the nature of the explosion. According to this latter classification,the most explosive type of volcano is the Pelean type, named after the eruption ofMount Pelee in the Lesser Antibes in 1902. The characteristic feature of this type isthe so-called “glowing cloud^^. This is a great cloud of red lava thrown from thevolcano at high speed.36. V o lc a n o e s .A. delight people rather than terrify themB. either delight people or terrify themC. neither delight people nor terrify themD. delight people and, on the other hand, terrify them37. The first paragraph implies that in classical t i m e s .A. there were a lot of volcanic eruptions on the island of VulcanoB. Vulcan lived on the island of VulcanoC. the island of Vulcano lay, and still lies today, just north of SicilyD. there were a lot of volcanic eruptions on the island of Sicily38. The word vent (Para. 2, Line 1)me a n s .A. something like a chimney in the volcanoB. magma deep inside the earthC. the volcano's coneD. lava, rock, and gas39. According to this passage, most of the world's volcanic e r u p tio n s .A. are extremely destructiveB. cause little damageC. are neither extremely destructive nor extremely nondestructiveD. are either extremely destructive or extremely nondestructive40. According to, the Pelean type is the most explosive type of Volcano.A. the type of ventB. the nature of the explosionC. the colour of lavaD. the "glowing cloud^^Passage 9If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is theresearch finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brainsare not getting enough exercise--and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarilysoon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthyfarmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reasonat a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set aboutmeasuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varyingoccupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precisemeasurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, whichrelate to intellect ( 智能)and emotion, and determine the human character. (Therear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing,does not contract with age, and one can continue without intellectual oremotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in somesubjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-andseventy-year olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to thecontraction normally associated with age— using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain beginssooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, saysMatsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whitecollar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, aslikely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shopassistant.Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain fromshrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygenthe brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation isthrough using the brain," he says, "Think hard and engage in conversation.Don't rely on pocket calculators."41. The team of doctors wanted to find out__.A) why certain people age sooner than othersB) how to make people live longerC) the size of certain people's brainsD) which people are more intelligent42. On what are their research findings based?A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B) Tests performed on a thousand old people.C) The study of brain volumes of different people.D) The latest development of computer technology.43. The doctor's tests show that_ .A) our brains shrink as we grow olderB) the front section of the brain does not shrinkC) sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-oldsD) some people's brains have contracted more than other44. The word "subjects" in Paragraph 5 means__.A) something to be consideredB) branches of knowledge studiedC) persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD) any member of a state except the supreme ruler45. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than theothers?A) LawyersB) FarmersC) ClerksD) Shop assistantsPassage 10It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. Themeanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions wemake, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our pastexperiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available forlater use. It includes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic orhistorical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typicallybehaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he hassniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when asix-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physicalobjects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing datafor later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of acomputer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a largecomputer may hold up to 100,000 ^^words^^-ready for instant use. An averageU.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words ofEnglish. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of informationwhich the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces andplaces that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligenceof human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words andcombinations of words.46. According to the passage, memory is considered to be .A. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words47. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computerand that of human being shows that______.A. the computer's memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager'sB. the computer's memory capacity is much smaller than an adult humanbeing'sC. the computer's memory capacity is much smaller even than ateenager'sD. both A and B48. The whole passage implies that___.A. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person's memory is different from a computer's in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than by intelligence49. The phrase “in terms of' in the last sentence can best be replacedby .A. in connection withB. expressed byC. consisting inD. by means of50. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person's memory different from an animaPs or a computer's?D. What is contained in memory?PassagellIn what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth'spostwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would takeover the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, ascomputers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business andin our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseenproblem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant tochallenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware thatwrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction ( 失误) .Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you hadto check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internalcomputers and check the machine when they have the feeling that somethinghas gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a partof good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computershould come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, itshould not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoningskills.51. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To look back to the early days of computers.B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.52. According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that theymight__ .A) change our personal livesB) take control of the worldC) create unforeseen problemsD) affect our businesses53. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to__.A) be reasonably doubtful about themB) check all their answersC) substitute them for basic thinkingD) use them for business purposes only54._The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computersis .A) challengingB) psychologicalC) dramaticD) fundamental55. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of__ .A) investment in computersB) the use of one's internal computerC) double-on computersD) complete dependence on computers for decision-makingPassage 12A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure. As part of its attempt toincrease imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more.The workers are disgusted.The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all work and noplay. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the governmentsaid last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average workyear to 1,899 hours and a five-day week by 1992. Beginning in February, banks andstock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out oftheir offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will followthat practice.But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it andthey fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are not happier: they have beenadvertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcingleisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a disguised pay cut. Theindustrialists, who have no objection to the government's plans, admit that shorterhours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be actingagainst their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off, either. Butunlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content withwatching television, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts andgenerally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume,maybe the West can teach them to; relax and enjoy themselves, too.56. The purpose of getting the Japanese to have more spare time is t hat .A. the government wants to show more concern for the health of the peopleB. the government needs to get more goods from abroadC. the Japanese have been working too hardD. the Japanese hope to change the western prejudice57. The group of people who welcome the shorter-hour system in Japan is.A. the small companiesB. the industrialistsC. the unionsD. the younger generation58. The unions think t hat .A. the shorter hours they work, the higher pay they can getB. the more they work, the less leisure they can enjoyC. the shorter hours they work, the less pay they can haveD. the greater pressure the government is forcing on them, the less happinessthey can enjoy59. What is the result of the younger Japanese's reaction to the leisure industry?A. It costs more money than they can offer.B. It is more and more unbearable to older workers.C. It becomes more and more flourishingD. It becomes a new fashion for people to enjoy60. The best title for this passage can be.A. Oh no! Not Saturday Again!B. Leisure: the Greatest Threat!C. Enjoy While You Are Young!D. Less Work and More Play!Passage 13In the 1960s,medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahedeveloped a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point thatany major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of afamily member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changingevents, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you mustremember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress-it onlyshows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way youhandle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s,hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes andRahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried overthe reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message.Women's magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness! "If you want tostay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressfulevents are dangerous, many-like the death of a loved one-are impossible toavoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription( 处方)for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since anychange can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stresswould never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what weknow about people. It assumes we're all vulnerable ( 脆弱的)and passive in theface of adversity ( 逆境) .But what about human initiative and creativity? Manycome through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than theyhad before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge canlead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.61. The result of Holmes-Rahe^ medical research tells us___.A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life62. The studies on stress in the early 1970,s led to__.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs63. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows__.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events64. Why is "such simplistic advice" (Line 1,Para.3) impossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.65. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs maybecome__ .A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage 14Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall intodisuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will beabandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto ishere to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travelin the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not bepowered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far morepollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the mainproblem in urban traffic congestion ( 拥挤) .One proposed solution to thisproblem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable ( 可伸缩的)armwill drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to thosepowering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car willbecome electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle willpass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car'smovements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destinationinto the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve spacefor the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver willthen be free to relax and wait for the buzzer ( 蜂鸣3S) that will warn him of hiscoming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that canbe carried by a present-day highway.66. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_ .A) its seating capacityB) its monitoring systemC) its power sourceD) its driving system67. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to develop an automated subway system.D) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.68. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) An engine.B) A rail.C) A computer controllerD) A retractable arm.69. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is_ .A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) inform the system of his destination by phoneD) keep in constant touch with the computer center70. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Optimistic.B) EnthusiasticC) Cautious.D) Pessimistic.Passage 15It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean's largest creature, which hasalmost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangeredspecies. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are toounreliable to give real insight into its behavior.So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy,they were able to track a particular blue whale for43 days, monitoring itssounds. This was possible because of the Navy's formerly top-secret system ofunderwater listening devices spanning the oceans.Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just openingto civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partlyuncover its global network of underwater listening system built over thedecades to track the ships of potential enemies.Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they hadused the system for Closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption ( 爆发) forthe first time and that they plan similar studies.Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking oceancurrents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second— slower thanthrough land but faster than through air. What is most important, differentlayers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the sameway a stethoscope ( 听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient'schest to a doctor's ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relativelyweak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travelthousands of miles.71. The passage is chiefly about__ .A) an effort to protect an endangered marine speciesB) the civilian use of a military detection systemC) the exposure of a U.S. Navy top-secret weaponD) a new way to look into the behavior of blue whales72. The underwater listening system was originally designed__ .A) to trace and locate enemy vesselsB) to monitor deep-sea volcano eruptionsC) to study the movement of ocean currentsD) to replace the global radio communications network73. The deep-sea listening system makes use of____.A) the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under waterB) the capability of sound to travel at high speedC) the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sou ndD) low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water74. It can be inferred from the passage that___.A) new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangeredblue whalesB) blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listeningsystemC) opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed touse military technologyD) military technology has great potential in civilian use75. Which of the following is true about the U. S. Navy underwater listeningnetwork?A) It is now partly accessible to civilian scientists.B) It has been replaced by a more advanced system.C) It became useless to the military after the cold war.D) It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.Passage 16Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage.In Britain arrangement for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding isusually the responsibility of the bride's family. In most cases it is mainly friends andrelations of both families who are invited but when the bride's father is a businessmanof some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishingsocial connection with clients or customers and other people whose good will may beof advantage to him. It is, however, the bride's mother who has the job of preparingthe formal printed invitation cards.In the case of a church wedding, the vicar ( 牧师)of each parish in which thebride and bridegroom lives is normally informed about a month in advance of theceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church oneach of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existingmarriage of either partner is ordered to give information about it, though this means ofavoiding bigamy ( 重 婚 罪 )must have been more effective in the days when peoplemoved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more peopleattend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dressand veil, while her bridesmaid, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractivecolors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but isprobably less usual.The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, whenthere are few guests, in the bride's own home. Refreshments are provided, a specialiced wedding-cake is cut (usually to the accompaniment of speeches) and distributedto the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in thecelebrations, the bride does off to change into everyday clothes and then leaves theparty with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together,often in romantic surroundings abroad.76. It is the bride9s parents who normally have to.A) make all the arrangements for the weddingB) provide hospitality for the people attendingC) decide who shall be invitedD) pay all the expenses involved77. According to the passage some guests may be invited b e c a u s e .a) they are likely to be annoyed it they are notb) they may give valuable presentsc) their presence could provide future benefitsd) they may help with the expenses of the wedding78. Why are the arrangements for a church wedding usually made some time before?a) To allow the necessary length of time fbr publicizing the wedding.b) To provide time for organizing the reception.c) To make sure that the guests can arrange to be free on the day.d) To ensure a thorough investigation of the couple's existing marital status.79. What possible difference is suggested between a church and a civil wedding?a) Civil weddings are less commonly followed by a reception.b) It is less usual for guests to attend the civil wedding formalities.c) Guests at civil weddings are less formally dressed.d) There could be less attention paid at the latter to convention and picturesqueeffect.80. The reception normally takes place in the bride's home if.a) this is a large oneb) there is enough room to entertain the people invitedc) the parents cannot afford to hire a halld) there is to be no party afterwardsPassage 17Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage.Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing soand, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cuttingaway of overgrown and unwanted branches. The inexperienced gardener can beencouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily thanfrom leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size,the object may be to get a tree of the right height and at the same time to help thegrowth of same side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a specialshape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut outdiseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thuscausing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches thatare blocking up the center and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this providesan easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race betweenthe healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is aperiod when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce thatrisk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been prunedsmooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allowthe cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substancesavailable from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usuallydone in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interferencefrom the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If thisdoes happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them properly.81. Pruning should be done to.A) make the tree grow tallerB) improve the shape of the treeC) get rid of the small branchesD) make the small branches thicker82. Tree becomes unhealthy if the g a r d e n e r .A) allows too many branches to grow in the middleB) does not protect them from the windC) forces them to grow too quicklyD) damages some of the small side branches83. Why is a special substance painted on the tree?A) To make a wound smooth.B) To prevent disease entering a wound.C) To cover a rough surface.D) To help a wound to dry.84. A good gardener prunes a t r ee.A) at intervals throughout the yearB) as quickly as possibleC) occasionally when necessaryD) regularly every winter85. What was the author's purpose when writing this passage?A) To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.B) To give a general description of pruning.C) To explain how trees develop diseases.D)To discuss different methods of pruning.Passage 18Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage.The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way toapparent abundance. Shops are choked with food. Rationing ( 定 量 供 应 )is virtuallysuspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet,instead of joy, there is wide-spread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food priceskeep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundanceonly temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less nowabout producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect.The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainlybeen unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grainharvests in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain'soverseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production hasalso risen.But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been madeworse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down ofgovernment support for food. The shops are overstocked with food not only becausethere is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, arebuying less of it.Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices havebegun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is oftencheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling.Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from thistrend.The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The oldergeneration have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and marketguarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food importsand a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent abovepre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956;but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programmeis not working very well.86. Why is there "wide-spread uneasiness and confusion^^ about the food situation inBritain?A)The abundant food supply is not expected to last.B) Britain is importing less food.C) Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.D) Britain will cut back on its production of food.87. The main reason for the rise in food prices is t hat .A)people are buying less foodB)the government is providing less support for agricultureC) domestic food production has decreasedD) imported food is driving prices higher88.Why didn't the government's expansion programme work very well?A) Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the governmentguaranteed.B) Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production.C) Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found fortheir produce.D) Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programme.89. The decrease in world food prices was a result of.A) a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumersB)a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC)the overproduction of food in the food-exporting countriesD)the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries90. What did the future look like for Britain's food production at the time this articlewas written?A)The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.B) An expansion of food production was at hand.C) British food producers would receive more government financial support.D)It looks depressing despite government guarantees.Passage 19Questions 91 to 95 are based on the following passage.It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace ofmodern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows thatthe nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have atiger in the driver's but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether.You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate, but nowadays thewell-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for “BeKind to Other Drivers^^ campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the mostcool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge whensubjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a longway towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave ofacknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere ofgoodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But suchacknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don'teven seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are thedriver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazardto following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or theman who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehiclesthat may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to crossthe road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highwaysare not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motoristslearn to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the totalblockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists cant evenlearn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago theexperts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot moregive-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message toheart.91. According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by.A)people's attitude towards the road-hogB)the rhythm of modern lifeC) the behavior of the driverD) traffic conditions92. The sentence “ You might tolerate the odd road-hog ... the rule.?, ( para. 1) impliesthat.A)our society is unjust towards well-mannered motoristsB)rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC)the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hogD)nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists93. By “good sense”, the writer me a ns .A)the driver's ability to understand and react reasonablyB)the driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditionsC)the driver's tolerance of rude or even savage behaviorD)the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations94. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion,A)road users should make more sacrificeB) drivers should be ready to yield to each otherC) drivers should have more communication among themselvesD)drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others95. In the writer's o p i n i o n .A)strict traffic regulations are badly neededB)drivers should apply road politeness properlyC)rude drivers should be punishedD)drivers should avoid traffic jamsPassage 20Questions 96 to 100 are based on the following passage.There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. Theone most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved fromritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beingsviewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable,and they sought, through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers.Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained andrepeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose whichexplained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals wereabandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for artand drama.Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those ritescontained the seed of theatre because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almostalways used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided fbr performances, andwhen the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually madebetween the “acting area" and the “auditorium”. In addition, there were performers,and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in theenactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks andcostumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, andused only facial expressions and gestures to achieve the desired effect success in huntor battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun as an actor might. Eventually suchdramatic representations were separated from religious activities.Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling.According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are graduallyelaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by anarrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. Aclosely related theory traces theatre to those dances that are primarily rhythmical andgymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.96. The passage mainly d i s c u s s e s .A) the origin of theaterB) the role of ritual in modern danceC) the importance of storytellingD) the variety of early religious activities97. In the first paragraph, the author d i s c u s s e s .A) the reason drama is often unpredictableB) the seasons in which dramas were performedC) the connection between myths and dramatic plotsD) the importance of costumes in early drama98.

The main difference between ritual and drama is that.A) ritual uses music whereas drama does notB) ritual is shorter than dramaC) ritual requires fewer performers than dramaD) ritual has a religious purpose and drama does not100. The passage s u p p o r t s .A) no one really knows how the theatre beganB) myths are no longer represented dramaticallyC) storytelling is an important part of danceD) dramatic activities require the use of costumesPassage 21Questions 101 to 105 are based on the following passage.For years the prevailing wisdom on how immigrants fare in the labormarket in the United States has been based on the notion that assimilation is thekey, even determining factor. Drawing mainly on 1970 Census data, studiesconcluded that while earnings of new immigrants were lower than those ofcomparably situated native workers, earnings of immigrants who had been herefor more than a decade exceeded those of native workers of the same age,education and so on. The assumption was that as immigrants gained language andwork skills, their earnings grew. Now some economists dispute this conclusion.The positive effect of assimilation is so small that there is little chance theaverage immigrant will ever catch up with the native workers.The 1970 Census was the first in 30 years to ask individuals when they hadarrived in the United States. When comparable data from the 1980 Censu sbecame available, researchers could then track the progress of immigrants whoarrived at different times. It was found that most recently arrived Hispanicimmigrants exhibit lower earnings and higher unemployment rates than earlierHispanic immigrants.There was one major exception. More recent Mexican immigrants hadsubstantially higher employment rates but lower earnings than the earlier group.This is because the population of recent immigrant included many illegalforeigners who would accept low paying jobs.What seems most striking is that the immigrants who arrived prior to 1960are fundamentally different from those who arrived later. Immigrants laws werechanged in 1964, and the immigrants who arrived under the earlier law werepermitted entry largely because of their skills. Those who came after 1964, wereadmitted because they had close relatives in the country. The performancedifferences seem to hold true across the board.It seems like a very simple notion but until recently, nobody was raising it.In very plain terms, different waves of immigrants are different.101. It can be inferred from the passage that previously it was thought theearnings of the immigrants were low b e c a u s e .A) they would not want to be assimilatedB)they had no work skillsC)they had poor language and work skillsD) they were illegal workers102. According to the passage the role of assimilation in determining the earningsof the immigrants is.A) a determining factorB) a controversial factorC) a small factorD) a striking factor103. Mexican immigrants have higher employment rates b e c a u s e .A) they all are skilled workersB)they all are willing to accept low-paying jobsC)they have recently arrivedD) many illegal foreigners would ratheraccept low-paying jobs104. It can be inferred from the passage that “assimilation“ me a n s .A) mergingB) copyingC) adjustmentD) modification105. The main topic of the passage is.A)immigrants, job-hunting experienceB)immigrants, social status in the U.S.C)the influence of immigrants' work skills on their earnings in the U.S.D) cause of immigrants, differentemployment situations in the U.S.Passage 22Questions 106 to 110 are based on the following passage.The Security Council is the most powerful body in the UN. It is responsible formaintaining international peace, and for restoring peace when conflicts arise. Itsdecisions are binding on all UN members. The Security Council has the power todefine what is a threat to security, to determine how the UN should respond, and toenforce its decisions by ordering UN members to take certain actions.The Council convenesC 召集)any time there is a threat to peace. A representative fromeach member country who sits on the Council must be available at all times so that theCouncil can meet at a moment's notice. The Security Council also frequently meets atthe request of a UN member - often a nation with a grievance about another nation'sactions.The Security Council has 15 members; five of which hold permanent seats. TheAssembly elects the other ten members for two-year terms. The five permanentmembers - the United States, Britain, France, Russia (formerly the Soviet Union), andChina - have the most power. These nations were the winning powers at the end ofWorld War II, and they still represent the bulk of the world's military might.Decisions of the Council require nine votes. But any one of the permanent memberscan veto an important decision. This authority is known as the veto right of the greatpowers. As a result, the Council is effective only when its permanent members canreach a consensus ( 一致 同 意 ) .The Council has a variety of ways it can try to resolve conflicts among countries.Usually the CounciFs first step is to encourage the countries to settle theirdisagreements without violence. The Council can mediate a dispute or recommendguidelines for a settlement. It can send peacekeeping troops into a distressed area. Ifwar breaks out, the Council can call for a ceasefire. It can enforce its decisions byimposing economic sanctions on a country, or through joint military action.106. Which is TRUE in the following statements according to the passage?A) The Security Council convenes annually.B) All UN members should abide by the decisions adopted by theSecurity Council.C) Although one member seriously complains about another member's action,the Security Council will not convene at its request.D) The five permanent members of the Security Council hold less than one halfarmed forces in the world.107. The Security Council is effective only when its permanent members canreach a consensus b e c a u s e .A) every permanent member has the veto right of great powersB) all the permanent members won in the World War IIC) the other members of the Security Council are in the charge of thepermanent membersD) of some other reasons not mentioned in this passage108. One motion ( 提 议 )is adopted by the Security Council only if.A) 14 of 15 members accept this motionB) all the members have no objection to the motionC) 9 members agree on it and all the permanent members approve of itD) all the permanent members pass it109. The passage introduces all things about the Security Council E X C E P T .A) missionB) membershipC) rightsD) history110. The last paragraph of this passage may be concluded with the statementt h a t .A) UN gives priority to peaceful settlement of the conflicts among countriesB) the peacekeeping troops are most powerful in the conflicts between countriesC) economic sanction will be imposed on the countries involved in warD) joint military action is the last resort of the Security Council in dealing withconflicts between countriesPassage 23Questions 111 to 115 are based on the following passage.Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station- a unique observationpost for detecting important changes in the world's environment. Remote from majorsources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevailelsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharperand easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant early warningsensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show upto the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from theUnited States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but relatedprojects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet一aconcern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, dividethe continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” ofthe mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. "West”of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by anice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would bereduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments,others focus on the mysterious “dry valley“ of Antarctica, valleys that contain little iceor snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southernVictoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet fromthe polar plateau to the Ross Sea. Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of theglobal warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow thatfalls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polarplateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes,clusters of boulders （ 大圆石）sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100 mile an hourwinds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that theymay carry a message of hope for the verdant ( 草木繁茂的) parts of the earth. Somescientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster thanpollutants enter them.111. Antarctica is scientifically important in t hat .A) it is a space stationB) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciologyC) there is the mysterious dry valleyD) it can help people detect global environmental changes112. The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is.A) that they've descended to the Ross seaB) that they 4ve been blasted out by vicious windsC) the global warming trend ever since the ice ageD) that they've been changed into gorges, sand dunes and boulders113. When the author calls Antarctica "distant early warning sensor”, heactually means t ha t .A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purposeB) the research groups there are like such kind of sensorsC) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica firstD) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth114. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet.115 The word 44spotted,,(2nd paragraph) can best be replaced by.A) placedB) noticedC) fixedD) judgedPassage 24Questions 116 to 120 are based on the following passage.There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common innewspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among "situations vacant”,although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among ''situationswanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it doesis to offer help in applying for a job."Contact us before writing your application", or "Make use of our longexperience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history"， is how it is usuallyexpressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course,a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of thegrowing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that itmay now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just putdown your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams"， was aboutthe average level of advice offered to young people applying fbr their first jobs when Ileft school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything elsecould and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment thetechnique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available fbr work.Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated wascalled fbr. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguishyou from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. 4"Your search is over. I am theperson you are looking for”, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded.

Supporters of rent control argue that it protectspeople who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are notin danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rentcontrol may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase theirprofits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits.They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent- controlled. As a result,new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any.According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments inthe city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in thesame way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must payworkers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low- payingjobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They willreplace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers mustpay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers thatemployers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage maycause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead ofwith jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity.Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum.Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisionsabout farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may becorrect only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of thepredictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Someeconomists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree,however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.121.

The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit willbe cut.SETTING THE SYSTEM1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hoodare closed and locked.As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hoodmay be opened to prepare for the setting.Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel thesystem.4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. Theindicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and backdoors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed andlocked.Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlockingfrom the inside will activate （ 使起动） the system.WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SETActivating the systemThe system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the followingconditions:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without usingthe keyIf the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnectedAfter one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cutkept on.Reactivating the alarmOnce set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, slidingand back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops.The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is openedIf the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnectedStopping the alarmTurn the ignition key from the “LOCK" to "ACC” position. The alarm will bestopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner willkeep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doorsand hood is opened.Interrupting the settingWith the system set, the back door can be opened with the key withoutactivating or canceling the system. While it is open, the front and sliding doors andhood may be opened in addition, and the system can be activated only by the batteryterminal disconnection.To resume the setting, close and lock the front, sliding and back doors andhood. The back door must be closed with the key removed.CANCELLING THE SYSTEMUnlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the keywhen it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cutwill be cancelled at once.INDICATOR LIGHTThe indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is inuse. When the light is:FLASHING- The system is set. You need the key to open the front, sliding andback doors and hood.ON- The system will automatically be set when the time comes.

For each of them there are four choices markedA),B),C),D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letteron Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestion 57 to 61 are based on the following passage."Tear 'em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee(^^lj) rThese are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the timethey are made ,they may seem innocent enough. But let's not kid ourselves .Theyhave been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed.Volumes have been written about the way word affect us. It has been shown thatwords having certain connotations ( 含义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreignto what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” asone of those words .Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is "adversary"; "enemy" "onewho opposes your interests. ^Thus, when a player meets an opponent ,he or she maytend to every action no matter how gross ,may be considered justifiable. I recall anincident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time outfor a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough .The playerproceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed, 44Are they wetenough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across thecourt without considering the consequences the such a move might have on anyone intheir way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's intentional andillegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during thecourse of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? Itcertainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated ( 提升)the game to the level where itbelongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing theterm “opponent” with "associate“ could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is“colleague" ;"friend" ;"companion." Reflect a moment! You may soon see andpossibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate“ rather than“opponent”.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。

President Bush certainly thinks so.He has argued that tapping ANWR's oil would help ease California's electricity crisisand provide a major boost to the country's energy independence. But no one knowsfor sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the lastgovernment survey, conducted inl998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as muchas 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 millionbarrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, thenation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from SaudiArabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall （ 意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties （ 开采权使用费）and leasing fees for Alaska andthe Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to theenvironment Would be insignificant. "We've never had a documented case of an oilrig chasing deer out onto the pack ice,5 9 say Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of governmentestimates the National Resources Defends Council says there may be no more than3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, adrop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America's energy problems.And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling couldbegin only after mush bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatoryreview.As for ANWR's impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists pointout that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State's electricity output ---andjust 3% of the nation's.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2 上作答。
