For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1
Most of the big towns in Eastern Europe have seen a large increase in population over the last 30 years. This has caused extreme housing shortages, and the vast majority of people living in towns rent flats. By western standards, the flats are rather small, with a family of four living in two-or three-room flat with kitchen or bathroom. But compared with Western Europe, the rents are extremely low.An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his income on rent and about 15 percent on total housing costs, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his income on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his income on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like meat and coffee are extremely expensive.Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are far in advance of other parts of the world. Most medical and social services are provided free, and in some countries workers do not even have to make contributions to the health and insurance funds, since these contributions are made by the employer. The factory in Eastern Europe provides many facilities and services which are not supplied in Western Europe. Moreover, Eastern Europe does not suffer from one of the major problems of Western Europe’s economy—unemployment. All the constitutions ofthe individual countries state that every citizen has a right and duty to work.91. The serious housing shortage in big towns of Eastern Europe have been caused mainly by________.A. small flats B. extremely low rentsB. an increase in population D. two-or three-room flats with kitchen or bathroom92. According to the passage, the rents in Western Europe ____.A. are rather highB. are extremely lowC. are almost the same as those in Eastern EuropeD. are comparatively lower.93. The average worker in Eastern Europe spends _______.A. a much higher percentage of his income on total housing costsB. 20 percent of his income on rent and total housing costs.C. a large part of his income on food.D. only a small part of his income on meat and coffee.94. The worker in some Eastern European states enjoy better medical and social services because_____.A. they don’t have to pay very much for health and insurance funds.B. it is their employers who pay for their health and insurance funds.C. they need to pay only a little for health and insurance funds.D. they are provided with many facilities and services.95. Which of the following is not true?A. Eastern Europe is free from unemployment.B. All the constitutions of Eastern Europe state that all citizens have a right and a duty to work.C. Unemployment is one of the major problems in Western Europe.D. Western Europe does not suffer from one of the serious problems of Eastern Europe’s economy.Passage 2Psychologists 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. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity” depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear aeroplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered 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 which 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.96. According to the selection, people_______.A. can not work better in a noisy situation B. will suffer from complete deafness because of noise pollution.C. can be psychologically affected by working in very noisy factories.D. may cooperate well in a noisy surrounding.97. “Sound”, as defined by psychologists, ______.A. can be measured in the same way that “noise” is measuredB. may be extremely harmful to healthC. is not at all different from “noise’.D. can be measured by machines.98. People waiting at an airport ______.A. enjoy hearing aeroplanes taking off and landing.B. are usually not troubled by the noise.C. can easily tell sound from noiseD. are often physically affected by the noise.99. People enjoy listening to music_______.A. though, in fact, they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound.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.100. 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 deaf.C. we want to cooperate well.D. we don’t want to be anxious.Passage 3Ever since William Harvey defined an animal’s heart as “the sovereign of everything within them, the sum of their microcosm,” in De Motu Cordis in 1628, the heart has been one of the most widely studied organs of the body and fortunately so, given that heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death. Each year, around 8 million people die from heart attacks and many millions more suffer from, and eventually succumb to, heart diseases such as congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (心律不齐). Global figures are rising, yet calculations suggest that this number could be slashed by around 50 per cent if smoking were removed from the equation. However, decreases would be offset to some degree as the world’s population ages, diets become more fat-laden and lifestyles more sedentary (久坐的), as all these factors are harmful to a healthy heart.Although scientific study of the heart began four centuries ago, the past few decades have seen a paradigm (范例) shift in research. We are now able to monitor the process of contraction and relaxation that underlies the gross function of the heart at close quarters by tracking the movement of calcium (钙) and other ions (离子) within myocytes (肌细胞). And genetic information is used in trial heart gene therapy. As with all diseases, understanding the processes involved at the molecular and genetic level is enabling us to make inroads in preventing and treating heart disease. 101. If there is no one smoking, people suffering from heart diseases can be reduced _________.A. by about one fourth B. by about one thirdsC. by about half D. to none102. According to the passage, _________ is harmful to our hearts.A. drinking coffee B. long-time sittingC. living a mobile life D. not eating regular meals103. Scientific study of the heart _________.A. began a few decades agoB. began before Harvey’s timeC. is different from what it used to beD. focuses on the ageing problem of the society104. At the molecular level, researchers study the heart _________.A. by tracking the movement of calcium and other ions within myocytesB. by monitoring the process of contraction and relaxation of the heartC. by doing trial heart gene therapyD. by observing the heart beat of the subjects105. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Smoking used to be the only factor contributing to heart diseases.B. Eating too much fat is not good for your heart.C. Heart is one of the most widely studied organs of the body.D. Heart disease has caused many deaths.
Passage 4
Anini holds the singular distinction in India of being the only district capital without an all-weather road providing basic transportation. Now, in what is believed to be the most remote cyber center in all of India, a new state-of-the-art computer center has put Anini on the “information superhighway.” The facility is one of 487 free community information centers that the Government of India has been installing throughout northeastern India. The US$75 million project, which has wide political support, is part of a plan by the Ministry of Information Technology to bridge the digital divide in isolated corners of this vast nation, which is about a third as large as the United States and has slightly more than a billion people, a population second only to China’s. People in the region hail the computer center as the first step in what they hope will be a permanent road linking them with the outside world.Until recently, there was no road at all leading in and out of Anini. The six Pentium computers and accessories provided for the new community information center had to be transported on elephant back. About a year ago, the federal government’s Border Roads Organization opened part of a 228-kilometer (141-mile) road that, when finished, will extend from Anini to the nearest road link, at Roeing. Much as it’s needed, the new unpaved road is only a start.
106. Which description of Anini is true according to the passage?A. It is the only district capital in India. B. It boasts the best computer center in the world.C. It has the largest population in India. D. It has very bad transportation conditions.107. Anini got its new computer center _________.A. because of its important geographic situationB. thanks to political supportC. because of its poor conditions D. to facilitate the national election108. The new computer center _________.A. is warmly welcomed by the localsB. is the only one in northeastern IndiaC. helps solve the problem of transportation in AniniD. will be finished soon109. The computers and accessories _________.A. were carried to Anini by elephants B. are second-handed onesC. were transported to Anini by camelD. are denoted by the U. S.110. The 141-mile road _________.A. has not been finishedB. makes it convenient to transport the computers and accessoriesC. will be the first road in AniniD. is sponsored by the Ministry of Information Technology
Passage 5
It’s very necessary for Canada to set up effective transportation system because of its enormous size with its sparsely populated distribution. It is also very difficult to make transportation construction on the surface of the country due to its harsh long winter and its mountainous terrain. It’s really amazing for this country to set up a transcontinental railroad since last century. Until 1990, the route length was more than 86,880 kilometers. Most of the country’s freight are transported by Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. But nowadays fewer and fewer people travel by train.Water transportation was very important before railway construction. Although passenger travel by water is less important than before, waterways remain important for cargo transporting. Waterways include lakes, rivers and sea coastlines. One of the most significant water transportation system is St. Lawrence seaway from the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Lake Superior.Because of the increasing number of automobiles, Canada’s road transportation develops very quickly. In 1991, road length has been more than 849,400 kilometers. Road system is becoming more and more important. Trucks carry nearly half of the total freight transported in Canada. Early in 1962, Canada had Trans-Canada Highway with the length of more than 7.7 kilometers, extending from St. Johns, New Brunswick to Victoria, British Columbia.With the development of transportation, airplanes became another necessary vehicles since aeroplanes could be the only access to some areas of the far northern region. Canadian transportation system develops very quickly with the increasingly advanced science and technology. The aim of the transportation is to use substitute fuels and to produce more efficient transportation facilities. 111. Despite its _________, Canada now boasts a transcontinental railroad.A. sparsely populated areas B. abundant natural resourcesC. large acre of desert D. harsh long winter112. Nowadays, the Canadian railway is mainly used to _________.A. transport freight B. carry passengersC. carry tourists D. transport soldiers113.Nearly 50% of the total freight transported in Canada is accomplished by _________.A. trains B. cars C. trucks D. ships114. Airplanes are important in transportation in Canada _________.A. because they can fly very highB. because they can carry larger freight to the destination within shorter timeC. because they are the newest form of transportD. because they can go to some areas that cannot be reached by other transports115. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the history of Canadian transportationB. the different forms of transport in CanadaC. the condition of transportation in CanadaD. the advancement of Canadian transportation
Passage 6
Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the “real world”. It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness.Learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handed with caution. Having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them outright. But unfortunately, many, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed.Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should leave college knowing how to allocate their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the “Oh, no! I’m flat broke and I don’t get paid again for two weeks!” anxiety syndrome.Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the “real world” is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living.For a newly graduated college student, the “real world” can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this “real world” could be made less painful if person were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college?
116. According to the writer, graduating students____________.A. will find it hard to get a job with only knowledge gained from collegeB. have insufficient skills and knowledge and do not deserve a college diplomaC. will not be able to earn enough money to support themselves.D. do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with the realities of life.117. The writer points out that many young people_____.A. fall into debt due to ill-advised use of credit cardsB. have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessitiesC. do not know the power of credit and easily run into seriousfinancial debtD. start buying too much on credit before they get a paid job118. Students suffer from an anxiety syndrome because____________.A. they do not have their parents’ financial supportB. they are worried that they don’t get paid on timeC. they run out of money and can’t cover their living expensesD. they can’t afford to buy insurance for themselves119. To “train students as consumers” means to enable them to______.A. handle their credit with cautionB. plan their spending carefully so that they don’t go brokeC. make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer servicesD. cope with serious financial problems120. By asking “What better place to accomplish this than in college?” the writer means that _______. A. the best place to train students to deal with personal financial issues is in college B. students should be trained to enter the real world after they graduate from collegeC. students can best be trained in business and economics in collegeD. students should be taught to cope with the difficult problems they will be facing after graduation
Passage 7
There are many ways of putting out a fire. You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. Stepping on a burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire.Many fires are put out with water. Water cools the material that is burning. It helps smother a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The stem shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out.Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fire extinguishers. Suppose a tank full of gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water and would probably keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.121. What are the major ways of putting out fires as mentioned in the passage? A. With water and with sand and chemicals. B. With water and with sand and steam. C. With water and with steam D. With water and materials and chemicals.122. Water can put out a fire because _______________. A. water is cold and cool. B. water is the only way to put out a fire. C. water cools the material on fire and the steam shuts off air. D. water can be changed into steam.123. Gasoline fires cannot be put out with ________________. A. sand B water C. chemicals D. extinguishers124. If you put water into the tank of gasoline, ______. A. gasoline would sink to the bottom of the tank. B. gasoline would be mixed with water C. water would float on the top of gasoline. D. water would not be mixed with gasoline.125. The best title of the passage would be______________. A. Water, Sand and Chemicals B. How to Put Out a Fire with WaterC. How to Put Out a Fire. D. Don’t Use Water to Put Gasoline Fires.
Passage 8
It is not necessary to write in order to send messages. In the old days, people who could not write used to send messages to one another in many different ways.The Indians used smoke to send signals. They made a fire and put wet grass on it. Then they covered the fire with a wet blanket. After a few moments, they took the blanket away again. This made a cloud of smoke. They could send simple messages in this way. One cloud of smoke meant, “Danger”. Two clouds meant, “ Everything is all right.” Three clouds meant, “Help”.In the thick forest of Africa, it used to be difficult to travel from village to village. But drums could be heard from many miles away. People in this part of the world discovered that they could use their drums for sending messages. They did not use a special code like the Morse Code. They made their drums “speak” like people. They did this by playing tunes that sounded like simple sentences in their languages.The Incas of South America never developed a way of writing their language, but they used to send messages by trying knots in rope. Men used to run with such knotted ropes from town to town along the Inca roads. Many of these rope messages have been found, but nobody can understand what they mean.126. In the old days, people____________. a. couldn’t write b. wrote in order to send messages c. used different ways to send messagesd. couldn’t send messages127. Which of the following took place first when Indians used smoke to send messages? a. They put a wet blanket on the fire. b. They covered the fire with wet grass. c. They removed the blanket d. They used smoke to send messages128. ________used to send messages by playing tunes on drums. a. Africans b. Indians c. Incas d. People in the old days129. Which of the following is true according to the passage? a. People in forests of Africa used different ways to send messages. b. The Indians used drums to send messages. c. The Incas of South America only developed a way of sending messages with drums. d. Nobody now can understand what the Incas meant by trying knots in rope.130. The best title of the passage would be __. a. Different Peoples b. Different ways c. Smoke, Drums and Ropes d. Sending Messages.
Passage 9
Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently---to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at eh correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles on relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringy bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics: they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers,most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.131. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for____.A. the efficiency of our muscles B. the normal breathing functionB. directing our muscles intelligently D. the work of only our involuntary muscles.132. Intelligent use of the muscles means that____. A. one always knows what his muscles are doing. B. one performs simple actions without working C. one’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform. D. one improves muscular action consciously133. Muscles are unique fibers in that they can____A. contract B.stretch C. retract D. all of the above134. According to the selection, more than half of a person’s body is composed of ____.A. voluntary muscles B. involuntary muscles C. muscle fibers D. sensory nerves135. An average woman is weaker than an average man because she has ____. A. more voluntary muscles than an average man B. only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as a man for her body mass C. 60 to 70 percent less muscle for her body massD. less muscle fiber for her body weight
