Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension (50%)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
Passage One
Population tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.
This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion
was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.
World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year.
This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.
Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.
41. This passage chiefly discusses
A. the growth of world population.
B. one type of the exponential rate.
C.
the population problem of more rapidly growing countries. D.
the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.
42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?
A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.
B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.
C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.
D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.
43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.
A. 100 years
B. 175 years
C. 1975 years
D. over two million years
44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.
B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.
C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.
D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.
45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.
A. hospitals and medicines
B. schools and students
C. food and manpower resources
D. all of the above
Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:
Passage Two
Women are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.
Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.
But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled
as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.
46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.
A. body language
B. logical reasoning
C. tasks demanding for the use of words
D. both A and B
47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.
A. believed
B. assumed
C. received
D. reconciled
48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.
A. achieving one’s objects.
B. mind and body.
C. programming talents into the brain.
D. imagination and communication.
49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.
A. imagining and handling objects.
B. providing a computer with a set of instructions
C. shooting a gun and driving an automobile
D. planning and making things as an engineer does
50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?
A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.
B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.
C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.
D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Passage Three
The US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes.
The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
51. Earthquake belts are .
A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur
B. zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surface
D. the two layers of earth along a fault
52. The San Andreas’ fault is .
A. an active fault system
B. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately
C. a place where earthquake have been controlled
D. the location of the Rocky Mountain
53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？
A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground level
B. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.
54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?
A. They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D. he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
55. What is the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. Dangers of Earthquake
B. Earthquake Belts and Prediction
C. Earthquake Prediction and Control
D. Earthquake Engineering in California
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
Passage Four
Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.
To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.
Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.
(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey
that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.
B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.
C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.
D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.
57. According to the author, sporting activities .
A. are essential to the survival
B. have actually developed from hunting
C. evolve as biological development
D. are football games
58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .
A. skillful sportsmen
B. successful farmers
C. runners and jumpers
D. cooperating hunters
59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .
A. sports activities
B. hunting
C. farmers
D. prey killing
60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.
B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.
C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.
D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any more

As a developing country, China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment. Preceding from its national conditions, China has in the process of promoting its overall modernization program made environmental protection one of its basic policies regarded the realization of sustained economic development as an important strategy and meanwhile carried out throughout the country campaigns for pollution prevention and treatment as well as ecological environmental protection.
Over the 18 years since its adoption of reform and opening policy, China's gross national product has achieved a sustained average annual growth of around10 percent. While its environment has basically ceased from deteriorating, the results of our work have shown that China’s endeavor in striking a balance between economic development and environmental protection has been effective.
As a member of the international community, while making great efforts to protect its own environment. China has taken an active part in international environmental protection affairs to promote international cooperation in environmental protection and earnestly fulfilled her international obligations. All these have given full expression to the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government and people to protect the global environment.
Mankind still faces a great many difficulties in solving the problems of the environment and development and there is a grand task to perform and a long way to go. China will do as it did in the past to cooperate with other countries of the world and strive for the protection of the environment for human survival for the happiness and prosperity of humanity and for the benefits of our children.

Modern Life in the Modern World
Many people insist that now we live in the most wonderful and promising era in history , as more and more machines take over our hard work, making our societies more efficient and our lives more comfortable. For instance, telephone and cell phone become so popular that you can anywhere if you want. Household electrical appliances free us from housework so that we can enjoy more leisure time. Modern transportation makes the world so small that you can travel by air from one city to another in a few hours which could take several days by trains.
In spite the above benefits we gained from the development of science and technology, however, everyone now worries about the pressure modern life. As more and more machines are applied in our daily life, life pace keeps getting faster and the world is getting too complex. As we pursue more and more material things such as luxury cars, personal computers, big houses etc. our financial pressures are growing. As job markets become shrinking and job competition becomes intense, everyone worries about losing his job. What’s more, many people are now faced with the threat of terrorists or live in constant fear because of the unfair wealth distribution between the rich and the poor.
Since human beings are largely a pleasure seeking and pain-avoiding creature, we never stop inventing things to release us from hard labor. And we also try our best to prove that we are the masters of our surrounding .That’s why our civilization keeps going forward and every new generation benefits from the efforts made by previous one. As high tech develops at a surprisingly high speed, we will gain more instead of suffering more and our future bright and promising.

Passage One
A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.
“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper, The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.”
“Now,”said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I’ll buy you a new one.”
The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening does n’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known.”
This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when the opened the front door. (81) In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number.

Questions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:
Passage Two
The great advance in rocker theory 40 years ago shows that liquid-fuel rockets were far superior in every respect to the skyrocket with its weak solid fuel. However, during the decade, large solid-fuel rockets with solid fuels about as powerful as liquid fuels have made their appearance, and it is a favorite layman’s question to inquire which one is “better”. The question is meaningless. One might as well ask whether a gasoline or a diesel engine is “better”. It all depends on the purpose, a liquid-fuel rocket is complicated, but has the advantage that it can be controlled beautifully. The burning of the rocket engine can be stopped completely: it can be reignited when desired. In addition, the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the speed of the fuel pumps. A solid-fuel rocket, on the other hand, is rather simple in construction, though hard to build when a really at very short notice.
A liquid-fuel rocket has to be fueled first and cannot be held in readiness for very long after it has been fueled.
(82)However, once a solid-fuel rocket has been ignited, it will keep burning. It cannot be stopped and reignited whenever desired and its thrust cannot be varied. Because a solid-fuel rocket can be kept ready for a long time, most military employ solid fuels, but manned space-flight needs the fine adjustments that can only be provided by liquid fuels. It may be added that a liquid-fuel rocket is an expensive device; a large solid-fuel rocket is, by comparison, cheap. But the solid fuel, pound per pound, costs about 10 times as much as the liquid fuel. So you have, on the one hand, an expensive rocket with a cheap fuel and on the other hand a comparatively cheap rocket with an expensive fuel.
46. The author feels that a comparison of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets shows that _______.
A. neither type is very economical
B. the liquid-fuel rocket is best
C. each type has certain advantages
D. the solid-fuel rocket is best.
47. The most important consideration for manned space flight is that the rocket be_____.
A. inexpensive to construct
B. capable of lifting heavy space shift into orbit
C. easily controlled
D. inexpensive to operate
48. Solid-fuel rockets are expensive to operate because of their_______.
A. size
B. fuel
C. construction
D. complicated engines
49. Which of the following statements is not characteristic of liquid-fuel rockets?
A. the fuel is cheap
B. they are cheap to build.
C. they can be stopped and reignited.
D. they must be used soon after fueling.
50. The author tells us that_______.
A. whether a liquid-fuel or a solid-fuel rocket is better depends on the purpose
B. neither type is superior
C. forty years ago, large solid-fuel rockets with solid-fuel as powerful as liquid fuels were made
D. the thrust can be made to vary by adjusting the direction of the pump
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Passage Three
As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding the cheapest market for the wings they wish to purchase. (83) Specialization is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.
Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. (84) The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties’desires and preferences.
Thirdly, money acts as store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve obvious disadvantages. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided.
51. Using money as a medium of exchange means that_____.
A. you have to sell something in order to buy something
B. you have to buy something in order to sell something
C. you don’t have to buy something in order to sell something
D. the seller and the purchaser are the same person
52. Specialization is encouraged because_______.
A. people can use their money to buy whatever they want
B. people get paid according to their share of the product.
C. people pay great attention to the manufacture of a product
D. people cannot use their money to buy whatever they want
53. A barter economy is one in which _______.
A. value is decided by weight
B. value is decided by number
C. money is used and goods are not exchanged

Education is all enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety. Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone—not just for a privileged elite(精英,精华 . Schools ale expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing , radio repair, computer programming or driver training , along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics , history, and languages. Students choose their curricula(课程 depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying(潜在的 goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness. Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns . The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead , Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives . Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts . This is America’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time:“How Can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”
