GCT英语模拟试题-10PartCQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use per person. The history of industrial development is full of examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings—a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and mule population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic turn of mind. Had they been "economists" , they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that is would be only a matter of time before steam would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.21.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set updangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.第11题Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills______.A.should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning new things第12题In the process of children"s learning new skills parents______.A.should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB.should not expect too much of themC.should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD.should create as many learning opportunities as possible第13题The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.A.parents should be strict with their childrenB.parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC.parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation第14题The word "precept"(Para. 3) probably means"______"A.ideaB.punishmentC.behaviourD.instruction第15题In moral matters, parents should______.A.observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC.forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD.consistently ensure the security of their children上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解图片第16题The service in the first advertisement is directed to the following EXCEPT ______.A.contract organizationsB.real estate companiesC.individual personsD.special construction companies第17题The services provided in the first advertisement do not include ______.A.demolishing housesB.cleaning up construction sitesC.transporting machinesD.headache curing第18题Golden Touch Construction is ______.A.a private companyB.a national agencyC.an international cooperationD.charge-free organization第19题Services provided by Golden Touch Construction include ______.A.kitchen decorationB.bathroom buildingC.bar demolitionD.house purchase第20题Both ads promised to provide ______.A.insuranceB.cheap priceC.free estimatesD.free designing上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of thetechnological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940"s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.第21题Which of the following is not given as a feature of the old French way of life?A.Leisure.B.Elegance.C.Efficiency.D.Tast第22题Which of the following is not related to the new French way of life?A.Shorter lunch hour.B.Greater output.C.Creature comfort.D.Leisurely cafe talk.第23题Nowadays few Frenchmen ______.A.prefer the modern life styleB.actually enjoy working at the assembly lineC.are more concerned with money than in the pastD.are more competitive than the old generation第24题The passage suggests that ______.A.in pursuing material gains the Frenchmen are suffering losses elsewhereB.it"s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC.the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD.great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen第25题Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A.Changes in the French way of life.B.Criticism of the new life style.C.The Americanization of France.D.Features of the new way of lif上一题下一题。

For a good many centuries “the search for truth” has been 31 the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such 32 conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made. 33 , there are many people who reel that we are actually going backward. They 34 , often contemptuously, that we have accumulated more “knowledge” than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have 35 the truth that we once possessed.If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises 36 the thing is really there to find.

The games got their name from Olympia, the Greek city where they took place. Like the summer Olympics of today, the ancient Olympics were held every four years. Thousands of people from all over the Greek world came to watch. The main stadium held about 45,000 people. "We have accounts of visitors and pilgrims setting uptents all around the site", Lisa Cerrato of Tufts University said. During the first Olympics, there was only one competition—a 200-meter race. But over time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports. Women were not allowed to compete, but they had their own separate games. "The ancient athlete became celebrities(名人), just like today. They often lived the rest of their lives being treated to free dinners", Cerrato said. "City-states even tried to steal away each other"s athletes by offering them various awards". The ancient Olympics existed until A.D. 393. But the modem Olympics are still going strong.第11题Where did the ancient Greeks hold their first Olympics?A.In Athens.B.In Olympics.C.In a town.D.In a state.第12题How did researchers know that ancient Greeks rushed to watch the Olympics?A.Thousands of people came to watch.B.The main stadium is still not big enough.C.They have found the related record of events.D.Many of them were visitors and pilgrims.第13题What did women do since they were not allowed to participate in the Olympics?A.They stayed at home doing nothing.B.They organized protests in the city.C.They had their own games.D.They set up tents around the site.第14题The ancient athletes must have felt honored when they______.pleted in a 200-meter raceB.wrestled with each otherC.read the accounts of the gamesD.received the treatment of free dinners第15题It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that______.A.the ancient athletes liked to celebrate their victoriesB.free dinners were offered during the competitionC.city-states competed with each other to win the OlympicsD.awards were often stolen to honor the athletes上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解If those "mad moments"—when you can"t remember what your friend has told you or where you left your keys—are becoming more frequent, mental exercises and a healthy brain diet may help. Just as bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as early as the 20s and 30s. "Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us had imagined and these processes continue gradually over theyears", said Dr. Gary Small, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. "I"m convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program", he added. In his book, The Memory Bible, the 51-year-old neuroscientist(神经学家) lists what he refers to as the 10 suggestions for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, reducing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle. It"s a game plan for keeping brain cells sparking and neural networks in perfect shape. "Misplacing your keys a couple of times don"t mean you should start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back", he said. Small provides the weapons for a fun-scale attack Simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as "look" and "connect" are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. "So if you wanted to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a high eyebrow", said Small. "You associate the first thing that comes to mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create a mental picture of Warren Beatty kissing her brow". Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. "Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or learning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing", he added. He also recommends physical exercise, a low-fat diet and eating foods rich in fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants(抗氧化剂) including blueberries and onions in addition to reducing stress.第16题The "mad moments" in the first paragraph refers to the time when we______.A.don"t listen to our friendsB.have lost our important thingsC.have some mental problemsD.have a bad memory第17题In this passage, the author mainly tells us ______.A.everyone has bad memories sometimes no matter how old he isB.we can prevent our mind from aging with various methodsC.brain aging starts at the time when we are in the 20s and 30sD.memory lost is not the sign that we are getting old第18题By giving the example "you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing.., eyebrow", Dr. Small is trying to explain the memory tool of______.A.lookB.physical exercisesC.connectD.mental exercises第19题By saying "I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create…, he r brow", Dr. Small is trying to explain the memory tool of______.A.remembering facial featuresB.reducing stressC.connecting related thingsD.observing carefully第20题Mental exercises do NOT include______.A.writing with one"s left handB.learning a foreign languageC.doing crossword puzzlesD.taking pictures上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解Astronaut Jim Voss has enjoyed many memorable moments in his career, including three space flights and one space walk. But he recalls with special fondness a decidedly earthbound(只在地球上的) experience in the summer of 1980 when he participated in the NASA-ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program. Voss, then a science teacher at West Point was assigned to the Marshall Space Flight Center"s propulsion(推进) lab in Alabama to analyze why a hydraulic fuel pump seal on the space shuttle was working so well when previous seals had failed. It was a seemingly tiny problem among the vast complexities of running the space program` Yet it was important to NASA because any crack in the seal could have led to destructive results for the astronauts who relied on them. "I worked a bit with NASA engineers, "says Voss, "but I did it mostly by analysis. I used a handheld calculator, not a computer, to do a thermodynamic(热力学的) analysis. "At the end of the summer, he, like the other NASA-ASEE fellows working at Marshall summarized his findings in a formal presentation and detailed paper. It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added understanding of NASA, deepened his desire to fly in space, and intensified his application for astronaut status. It was not an easy process. Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in 1987. Since then he has participated in three space mission. The 50-year-old Army officer, who lives in Houston, is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000. Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved. "It brings in people from the academic world and gives NASA a special property for a particular period of time. It brings some fresh eyes and fresh ideas to NASA, and establishes a link with colleges and universities", Voss explains". There is an exchange of information and an exchange of perspectives that is very important". For the academic side, Voss says, the ASEE program also "brings institutions of higher learning more insight into new technology. We give them an opportunity to work on real-world problems and take it back to the classroom".第21题Why was the hydraulic fuel pump seal important for the space shuttle?A.Because previous seals all failed.B.Because it was very complex in running the space program.C.Because great care has to be taken of the hydraulic fuel pump sealing.D.Because any crack in the seals would cause disastrous results for astronauts.第22题The great significanee of Voss"s findings lies in______.I. strengthening his determination to join in space flights.Ⅱ. furthering his understanding of NASA.Ⅲ. consolidating his astronaut status in NASA programs。

In this world, a child’s wildest thoughts would becom e reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult persp ective, it does exist. What’s more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hour s within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an e ducational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages a nd programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formall y dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in tot al control. Children teach the computer to think and as a result develop and sharp en their own reasoning abilities.1.

During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly(although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movementIf you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!1. A good title for this passage is ___.A. Sleep C.

The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ___.A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereWhen we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will allwork out, but at least he tries. And, if he can't make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life -- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.1. According to this passage, intelligence is ____.A. the ability to know what to doB. the ability to do well in schoolC. the ability to deal with lifeD. the ability to get high scores on some tests2. In a new situation, an intelligent person ____.A. knows more about what might happen to himB. is sure of the result he will getC. concentrates on what to do about the situationD. cares more about himself3. If an intelligent person failed, he would ____.A. try not to feel ashamedB. learn from his experiencesC. try to find all he couldD. make sure what result he would get4. Bright children and not-bright children ____.A. are two different types of childrenB. are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC. have difference only in their way of thinkingD. have different knowledge about the world5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about ____.A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how education should be conductedC. how to solve practical problemsD. how an unintelligent person should be taughtNasreddin was a poor man, so he tried to grow __1__ he could in his own garden, so that he would not have to buy so many in the market.One evening he heard a noise in his garden and looked out of the window.

Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don"t destroy forests or other wild habitats(栖息地). Malty Dettling is a project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country"s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, "We"ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent". Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. "It"s going to be big", she said.第11题What does green building refer to nowadays?A.Buildings painted by green hands.B.Buildings covered with green plants.C.Buildings that are environmentally-friendly.D.Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.第12题The word "Also"(Line 2, Para. 2) is used to ______.A.continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity useB.expand the topic of reduction of energy and water useC.include the discussion of public transportationD.shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection第13题In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by ______.A.making use of developed landB.developing new landC.clearing the ground in a forestD.draining wild habitats第14题Why are some people not so enthusiastic about green buildings?A.Because they do not jump into green building.B.Because they fail to move into a green building.C.Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D.Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.第15题What did Marty Dettling mean when she said, "It"s going to be big?"A.Green buildings have a great potential.B.People expect bigger green buildings.C.Green buildings will be larger in size.D.People prefer to live in bigger buildings.上一题下一题Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer. A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years. After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 40% over the past few years at North America"s 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoitak, editor of Amusement Business. "The boom was off the rose as we turned the comer into 2000, so there"s more discounting now", he says. Discounting isn"t new to an industry that has longer partnered with other commercial enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. But e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate. "If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you"re getting more for your money", says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.第16题The word "attractions"(Line 1, Para. 2) refers to ______.A.theme parksB.bargainsC.e-ticketsD.discounts第17题Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off the gate price?A.To get in line at the parks this summer.B.To encourage more people to come to the parks.C.To enable people to get e-tickets at home.D.To reduce the attendance figure.第18题What does the sentence "The boom was off the rose" mean?A.The rose in the theme park was out of bloom.B.The year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.C.The theme park attendance was like the rose.D.The best time for the theme parks was gone.第19题What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?A.The theme park industry will be more profitable.B.Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.C.The tour to the parks will be more convenient.D.Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.第20题The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ______.A.it is wise to surf onlineB.discounting isn"t everythingC.e-ticketing attracts more partnersD.time is money上一题下一题One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success; Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that"s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God"s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.第21题According to the first paragraph, ______.A.success is highly valued in American societyB.success surely brings material rewardsC.success equals measurable recognitionD.people agree on what success means第22题In this passage, the author indicates that ______.A.preachers are not so successful as businessmenB.businessmen are not so successful as preachersC.boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmenD.measurable success can also be achieved by preachers第23题The word "accent"(Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means ______.A.dialectB.emphasisC.attentionD.recognition第24题Which of the following does NOT account for people"s desire for success?A.The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B.Richness of opportunities in the new world.ck of fixed social ranks and classes.D.Determination to deny the value of the new world.第25题It is suggested in the last paragraph that ______ in the old world.A.children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB.children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC.children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD.children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Advertisement I JODRELL BANK VISITOR CENTRE EXHIBITION OF MODERN ASTRONOMY PLANETARIUM GARDENS, RESTAURANTS, SHOPS Open: Summer (March 12—October 31) Daily (including SAT & SUN.) 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Winter (November 1—March 11) Weekends 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Winter weekday visits by prior arrangement) No extra charge for Planetarium, Gardens, Arboretum or Car Park Children and Senior Citizens admitted at reduced rate Details: Ring Lower Withington (0477) 71339 Or write to R.

One in three Japanese marriages now ends I divorce.Atsuko Okano was in one of those failed marriages. Three years ago, she found herself along in her 30s, with children to raise and a future full of question marks and social shame. But she also saw an opening –and became a consultant helping people like herself.―My husband was cheating on me,‖ she recalls. ―I did everything to bring him back to me but it didn’t work, so I dumped him.‖Such frankness is a major characteristic of Japan’s recently divorced – and a striking break with the past.Divorced people—particularly women—have long been looked down upon in Japan where self-sacrifice and family stability are regarded as ideals. In the past, bored wives remained bored. Philandering (逢场作戏) husbands philandered without being blamed. The security of the family unit was the most important thing. Now, young Japanese are increasingly choosing satisfaction inn life over the demands of tradition, and more women are financially independent. As a result, Japanese divorce rates are flying. Experts attribute this to the erosion of a long-standing double standard that granted divorced men respectability, but branded divorced women as damaged goods.Over the past decade, growing numbers of highly educated and successful professional women have challenged that assumption by turning their backs on unhappy marriages and disregarding the taboo (禁忌) of divorce. The majority of divorce proceedings now are initiated by women, and statistics suggest that Japanese women are becoming more cautious about marriage in general.The average age for marriage has risen from 26.1 in 1970 to 28.7 in 1996. The average age for remarriage among women jumped from 33.2 to 37 in the same period. Arranged marriageshave become less common as young people make their own choices.41. This passage mainly talk about the fact that, nowadays, Japanese women _____.A. are granted respectability after they get divorcedB. are becoming brave enough to challenge the taboo of divorceC. still regard security of the family as very importantD. are becoming more financially independent42. It can be inferred from paragraph2 that Atsuko Okano ―_____.‖A. had some children to raiseB. was very confident with her futureC. was not greatly respected by Japanese SocietyD. might have found a job to help divorced people43. The word ―dumped‖ (par.3) probably means ―_____.‖A. looked down uponB. had a quarrel withC. hatedD. divorced44. Which of the4 following is NOT mentioned as the reason for the rising rate of Japanesedivorce?A. Self-sacrifice and family stability are not much appreciated in Japan as before.B. More women can support themselves financially.C. Divorced men and women can quickly find their new partners.D. Y oung Japanese care more about satisfaction in life then their elders did.45. Which of the following statements about the Japanese is Not true?A. The divorced women are regarded as damaged goods in the past.B. In the past, Japanese women generally stayed at home instead of going to work.C. Divorced men and women were treated differently.D. The divorce proceedings are now mostly started by men.Passage 2 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Thousands of gypsies have been trying to emigrate to Canada and Britain. They say they are fleeing persecution (迫害), but most have found they are not welcome in these countries either. Gypsies have never had a home.Europe has experienced enormous upheavals this century. Wars, revolutions, separations and elections have changed the political map of the continent countless times. And with each change, power has shifted, creating new winners and new losers.But for one group —the gypsies —change has always meant losing. With each upheaval, the gypsies have been left worse off than they were before. Y et they have survived to become Europe’s largest minority. Moreover, they have succeeded in preserving their culture and their way of life in the face of genocide (种族灭绝), political persecution and poverty.In other cases where minorities have survived similar persecutions —like Jews during World War II, or blacks in South Africa —their cause has received international support. By contrast, the gypsies’ success at preserving th eir culture is not regarded as an achievement at all. Instead, it’s viewed as proof they are both unwilling and unable to change, and therefore irredeemable (不可救药的). Indeed, in 1993, the president of the Slovak Republic attacked theirway of life and said steps should be taken to limit the extension of this socially unacceptable and mentally backward population.If such a thing had been said about any other minority, the political protest would have been enormous. But, because the Slovak President was referring to gypsies, there were few complaints, except from a few small organizations who try to protect gypsies’ rights.There is little chance that attitudes towards the gypsies will change, at least in the near future. Protection under human right’ laws mig ht come if Eastern Europe countries join the European Union. Such laws will never be enough to put an end to centuries of persecution, but for the time being, they are the gypsies’ best hope.46. The word ―upheaval‖ (Par.2, sentence 1 ) could be replaced by ―_________‖.A. revolutionB. disturbanceC. conflictD. demonstration47.After each upheaval, the gypsies lived in conditions _________.A. more pleasant than beforeB. more favorable than beforeC. more difficult than beforeD. more diverse than before48. It can be inferred from the passage that the survival of gypsies’ culture _________.A. has received much help the worldB. has received little help from the worldC. has been valued as an accomplishmentD. has contributed to improving their social status49. According to the passage, the remark made by the Slovak President, if had been directed at Jews, would have aroused __________.A. disapprovalB. indifferenceC. passionD. interest50. The passage mainly discusses _________.A. minorities in EuropeB. political changes in EuropeC. history of gypsiesD. homeless gypsiesPassage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:How often has one heard the expression, ―Damned if we do, and damned if, we don't?‖ Today, this dilemma is commonplace, as nearly everyone seems to be caught in the middle.A manufacturer of car batteries sought to deny employment or give unpaid leaves of absence to pregnant women working on its assembly lines. The scenario is immediately clear. If their babies suffer from lead poisoning--a distinct possibility because of the lead used in battery making--the company probably will be sued.
