Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneOnline services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e.,those withoutprocessing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system.Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PCsoftware program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the userto operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or amouse.National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users tocopy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reducesthe time the user is connected to the online system.Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full- text journal libraries to reports ofmissing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. Inexchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay toconnect to various databases on the service or to download information.41. Online services work by providing users with_________.A. a base of informationB. dumb terminalsC. a host systemD. a satellite42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information?A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse.B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system.C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system.D. They can access its base through the programs on the system.43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will .A. save the time of connecting to the online systemB. reduce the risk of losing informationC. pay just local telephone chargesD. get local information only44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to .A. seek for a large amount of informationB. be connected to various databasesC. be introduced by the local libraryD. pay a monthly membership fee45. The passage is mainly about_________.A. the payment for online servicesB. the functions of online servicesC. the development of online servicesD. the relation between online services and the users Passage TwoIn many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a majorproblem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生)and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life offarming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents.Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urbanpopulation would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult toenforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately leadto violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragementfor people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, healthand education services should be improved. Education should include training in improvedmethods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitudetowards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because thetowns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development ofthe rural area.46. What does the word “urban” (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?A. Of the city.B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size.47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________.A. they can hardly support their families on farmsB. they are unhappy with their life in the countryC. the rural areas are too crowded with peopleD. they hope to have their own business48.In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is .A. practicalB. possibleC. not realisticD. not sufficient49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if .A. traditional methods of farming are well keptB. conditions in rural areas are much improvedC. the government can provide more jobsD.violence could be controlled in cities50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?A.Their expectations.B. Their interests.C. Their income.D. Their attitude.Passage ThreeAs we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved inthis shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does noteat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, whogoes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at homemost nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal bloodcounts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at riskfor any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely“not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s specialneeds. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some healthspecialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who areactively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concernedwith nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Mostimportant, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to theirhealth. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”, in thisnew sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face ofth eir physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that peoplecan achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to bebetter able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention onhealthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways inwhich people face the challenges of daily life.51. Today medical care is placing more stress on _____.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients’ body functionsC. removing people’s bad living habitsD. ensuring people’s psychological well-being52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure53. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he _____.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease54. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people_____.A. to best satisfy their body’s special needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would beconsidered healthy?A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.Passage FourIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americansare turning to Japan, a country of high academicachievement and economic success, forpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the onesAmericans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is puton academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschoolteachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of earlychildhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to givechildren a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to havepreschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top threechoices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schoolsdo not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent ofJapanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their topthree reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individuallyoriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importanceof the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanesekindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. Inlarge cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary andsecondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend auniversity-based program, i t will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted。

Passage One Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement. There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly. Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams. 61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times 62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier. 63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving. 64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body 65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to Sleepers Passage Two The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.

Reading Comprehension (50分)Passage 1Sleep is a funny thing. (81) We’re taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some of us actually sleep too much. A study out of the University of Buffalo reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke—probably as a result of an underlying disorder that keeps them from sleeping soundly.Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents are famously short of sleep. It is not unusual for them to work 40 hours in a row without rest. They are not in the least worried about it, confident they can still deliver the highest quality of medical care. But an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a person’s motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is drunk. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence of alcohol is grounds for sacking often don’t think twice about operating without enough sleep.“I could tell you horror stories,”says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American Medical Student Association, which runs a website for residents. Some are terrifying.“I was operating after being up for over 36 hours,”one writes. “I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly planted my face into the wound.”“Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work, ”writes another.“I know of three who have hit parked cars. Another hit a Jersey gate on the New Jersey Expressway, going 105km/h.”“Y our own patients have become the enemy,”writes a third, because they are “the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep.”The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If you’re worried about the people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more rested staffers are available.41. Sleep is a funny thing because _________.A. the longer one sleeps, the less sound sleep he getsB. the more sleep one gets, the more likely a stroke occursC. many people stick to about eight hours of sleep to stay fineD. many people who sleep six hours a night still feel energetic in the day42. A surgeon who has worked 40 hours in a row without sleep _________.A. can still provide quality medical careB. will remain alert because he is used to itC. may ignore the potential risk of insufficient sleepD. should be fired if he continues the medical operation43. According to one resident, they are short of sleep because _________.A. they are too tired to fall asleepB. they are forbidden to sleep at workC. they are kept by treating their patientsD. they are too worried about oversleeping44. The resident who hit a “Jersey gate”on the New Jersey Expressway must have _________.A. fallen asleepB. drunk too muchC. been driving too longD. avoided hitting parked cars45. Patients are now advised to _________.A. monitor the hours of doctors by themselvesB. make sure that the doctors who treat them have had enough sleepC. ask for legal control of the hours of doctorsD. allow their doctors to sleep several hours before the operationPassage 2The tanker lay in the bay for four days, a few hundred meters from the shore. In this tideless water she lay as still and secure as if fastened to a wall. In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor master’s boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger, she looked so calm and seaworthy. (82) From time to time there was activity on board: when a land wind rose in the evenings, the tanker’s engines came to life. Then the vessel shook herself and strained fiercely, but none of it did her any good. She just stayed where she was in the bay.The July sun blazed down on her flat decks. Occasionally a seaman, stripped to the waist, came out on to the deck with the movements of someone performing a complicated dance, stepping lightly, never resting on that burning metal. Once or twice he kept close to the ship’s rail, with an arm raised against the sunlight, staring at the people on the beach. Throughout the day the air rose in visible waves from the tanker’s decks. When a sea wind blew, it brought with it the heavy smell of oil. At night the ship lay in total darkness.On the fifth morning a thick bank of sea mist filled the bay. It seemed that the tanker had got away in the night and gone into harbor. But this was an illusion. Slowly, as the fog cleared a litt le, she came into view again but farther out. Soon two figures could be seen at work on her decks. There was the sound of hammering, of metal, and then of something heavy falling on to the deck. At once the watchers on shore were half blinded by a flash of yellow light that enveloped the ship from end to end. The explosion that followed the flash was like a single crack from a giant whip. In a moment the ship, except for a dark line at water level, was lost to sight behind the flames.Two bodies were washed ashore in the bay. They were stripped to the waist, bare-footed, and black with flash bums.(83) The right arm of one body was raised to the forehead as if shielding the eyes from some bright light. The other man wore a gold chain round his neck. The tanker burned for nine days and nights.46. The tanker could not sail into the harbor because _________.A. the tide was not suitableB. she had run aground on sandC. her engines had broken downD. most of her crew had gone ashore47.

In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however,population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. (84) As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large 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. In a well-developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. 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.51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that _________.A. those countries encourage people to have large familiesB. people can get government support if they have more kidsC. improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatlyD. those countries have enough resources to support a large population52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values _________.A. in carrying out family planningB. in producing birth control drugsC. in improving public health standardsD. in introducing birth control techniques53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to _________.A. a rise in work efficiencyB. a shortage of farm workersC. a decline in grain productionD. a reduction in average income54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may _________.A. increase market demandB. lower unemployment rateC. slow down economic growthD. create more job opportunities55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer _________.A. a standstill populationB. a fast increasing populationC. a slowly growing populationD. a steadily decreasing populationPassage 4Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. (85) Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men, effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones, their success was attributed not to ability but to factors, such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractivefemale executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight success.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine(女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine”qualities required.This is true even in politics, “when the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,”says, Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.56. The word “liability”(Para. 1) most probably means“_________”.A. misfortuneB. instabilityC. disadvantageD. burden57. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _________.A. reinforces the feminine qualities requiredB. makes women look more honest and capableC. is of primary importance to womanD. often enables women to succeed quickly58.Bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _________.A. turns out to be an obstacle to menB. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women59. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often _________.A. practicalB. prejudicedC. old-fashionedD. radical60. The author writes this passage to _________.A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB. give advice to job-seekers who are attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. emphasize the importance of appearancePart Ⅲ.

Investors sometimes _54 ten percent or more interest per year. The interest may be calculated daily, monthly, or yearly. The interest must be _55_ before the capital can be repaid. If the interest is not _56_ the agreed rate, the interest is added _57_ the capital. Then the borrower has _58_ pay interest on the unpaid interest _59_ on the capital.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneStudents enrolled at least half time may borrow up to $3,000 form the government over a two-year period. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the studentleaves school. These loans carry on interest until this time. The current interest rate is 5 percent. Students may borrow up to $4,500 annually from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association or other eligible lender. Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school. These loans carry no interest until this time. This current interest rate is 9 percent. Parents may borrow up to $300 annually for each dependent college. Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan, and the interest rate is 12 percent.61. Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62. The highest interest rate is charged to _______.A. full-time studentsB. parentsC. students borrowing from a credit unionD. half-time students63. If parents had three children in college how much could they borrow annually?A. 900B. 3,000C. 300D. 9,00064. According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to 3,000 annually.Students may borrow up to $4,500 annually from four sources.Students enrolled less than half time may borrow money.The current interest rate from banks is 5 percent.65. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasingPassage TwoAre 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 the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly 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 originalpositions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of 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.66. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform one improves muscular action consciously68. Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above69. Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick70. According to th e selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept thenames of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or latera study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in England much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight75. The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as an example to show______.French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” Engl ish travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork becomea common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented by Italians77. By the fifteenth century forks were used _______.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. widely in EuropeD. In England78. To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _______.A. cleverB. necessaryC. good mannerD. ridiculous79. The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ________.A. imitate the people of the EastB. keep their food cleanC. impress visitors with their good mannersD. amuse the English80. In England, people who used forks at that time were considered ______.A. well manneredB. sissiesC. show-offs and overniceD. both B and CⅤ.
