1.
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.

1).A small population may mean .
A.
higher productivity, but a lower average income
B.
lower productivity, but a higher average income
C.
lower productivity, and a lower average income
D.
higher productivity, and a higher average income
满分：2分

3).In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate .
A. goes up         
B.
is decreasing
C.  remains stable            
D.  is out of control
满分：2分
4). According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for .
A. a developing nation      
B.
a developed nation
C.

Many people believe that the glare (眩目的光) from snow causes snow blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow sight”.
The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain (地带，地域). So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature balances this irritation by producing more and more fluid which covers the eyeballs. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision is obscured, and the result is total, even though temporary, snow blindness.
Experiments led to the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something.
Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring (急速搜寻) the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.
1).According to the passage, to prevent headache, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark glasses are .
A. essential
B.  useful   
C.  ineffective           
D.
available

A.
concentrating on the solid white terrain

searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain

covering the eyeballs with fluid

Park and monument officials in Washington, D.C., have recently expressed alarm at the increased vandalism to the city's stone and marble memorials. Visitors from all parts of the United States and the world seem to want to take parts of the monuments home with them.
These souvenir collectors chip off pieces of stone when the guards are not looking. This activity seems to be tolerated by other tourists standing nearby, as few complaints are ever recorded. Monument officials are concerned not only that various sites are being defaced(损伤外观), but also that many are in danger of being structurally damaged and weakened.

When your parents advise you to "get an education" in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
       Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.
       Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
       Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000, while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.
       A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future, there are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.
       If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph.D.s are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
       You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
1). According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people
A.
will not be a disgrace to society
B. will become loyal citizens
C.
can take care of themselves
D.
can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower
满分：2分
2). Many Ph.D.s are out of job because ___________________.
A.

D.
they prefer easier jobs that make more money
满分：2分
3).The nation is only interested in people _______________.
A. with diplomas
B.
who specialize in physics and chemistry
C.
who are valuable to the gross national product
D. both A and C
满分：2分
4).Which of the following is not true
A.
Bernard Shaw didn't finish high schools, nor did Edison.
B.
One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.
C.
The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.

满分：2分

a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country’s demands for technical workers
B.
a way to broaden one's horizons
C.
more important than finding a job
D.
an opportunity that everyone should have
