2024江苏省学位英语考试真题及答案2024 Jiangsu Province College Entrance Examination English TestPart I Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions: There are three passages in this part.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1One of the problems for towns in the Industrial Revolution was that they grew too quickly. They did not have enough schools, health clinics or houses. People did not have time or money to build enough roads, bridges or places of worship. The worst problem, however, was that towns did not have places to keep rubbish. As a result, people often threw pots of water containing urine(尿液) and faeces (粪便) out of their windows and not always in the direction of the street. To be sure, some towns did have bylaws (地方法令) to stop people from throwing away rubbish in the street. There was mid-nineteenth-century Cheltenham, in southwest England. But even in places likeCheltenham, there were many violators. The situation was so bad that many cities had to change their bylaws in a way that was intended to make life more bearable for the citizens.26. What does the author say was the worst problem facing the towns of industrial Britain?A. There were frequent violent outbreaks.B. There were very few roads.C.

This idea reflects a growing focus on concerts as entertainment rather than as high art. In this view, the primary goal of a concert is to attract as many people as possible to make it a profitable enterprise. This development suggests concern about the future of classical music as an art form.29. According to the passage, what is the suggested way to attract more people to classical music concerts?A.

I was her storyteller, her guide, her interpreter, and her vocabulary coach. But most of all, I was her sister. My mother describes the process somewhat more colorfully. She says that while I was reading to my sister, she was "sucking the words right out of my mouth.''31. According to the passage, what was the author's role in his sister's reading process?A. Tutor.B.

2006年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov. 2006)Paper OnePart I Listening Comprehension (15 minutes 15%)Part II Reading Comprehension (30 minutes 30%)Directions: In this part there are four reading passages. Each passage is followedby some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Questions 16--20 are based on the following passage.The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have overhalf a million entries, but many of these are compound words (schoolroom, sugar bowl)or different derivatives of the same word (rare--rarely, rarefy), and a good manyare obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attemptto cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especiallyslang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowedfor use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use everyyear and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. (86)It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words thatany of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in ourspeaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least24,000words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least80,000.These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we reador hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing , is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously usingthe words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary.(87) Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words,especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underlineor make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar onesin a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once youknow how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author's estimation, there are words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than amillion17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning toA. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ．A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabularyD. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by .A. making a list of words you need end looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we team that ．A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them Questions 21--25 are based on the following passageA third of Britons are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About five percent of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-aged population half ere overweight.Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people.The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Fad diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas （桑拿浴）merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve as expensive holidays.（88）Exercise is most important to health, the report emphasized; though it doesn't necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn't only for the young; from middle age a minimum of 20minutes of general physical jerks should be practiced three times a week..The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening, consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities. Britain's doctors, the report concludes, must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight, encouraging a change in eating habits on a long-term basis, and taking into account the many ---often complex--reasons why fat people are fat.21．The passage mainly talks about ．A. the cause of Britons' overweightB. how to avoid getting overweightC. Britons' overweight problemD. the relations between overweight and health problems22. According to the report, a person is most likely to stay fat for the whole of his life if he .A. gets fat in the twentiesB. gets fat in his middle ageC. is born fatD. gets fat when he is child23．The report suggests that exercise ．A. is a way to reduce weightB. sometimes increase weightC. is a sure way to keep one healthyD. can convert fat to muscle24．The report points out that drinking too much alcohol ．A .will also cause one to get fatB .will cause one to do less sportsC. will make one forget the fact that he is fatD. will lead one to bad eating habits25．Britain's doctors, when treating the overweight, should ．A. encourage a long-term diet for everyoneB .be more considerate and give detailed adviceC. first consider why so many people are fatD. do all of the aboveQuestions 26--30 are based on the following passage.One of the most important ways an individual can reduce pollution is by conserving energy. Conserving energy reduces the air pollution created by power plants. Driving less is one of the best ways to save energy and avoid polluting the air. People can save electricity by buying more efficient light bulbs and home appliances. People can also conserve by using appliances less often.People can also buy products that are safe for the environment. For example, households can help reduce water pollution by using fewer toxic cleaning products. If consumers refuse to purchase harmful products, manufacturers will stop making them.People can also help reduce pollution by eating less meat. Farmers use large quantities of fertilizer and pesticides to raise the production of grain on which cattle, hogs, and poultry feed. Farmers would use much less fertilizers and pesticides if people chose to eat less meat and more grains, beans and vegetables. If consumers would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections, farmers could reduce their use of chemicals.One of the simplest ways individuals can prevent pollution is by reusing products. For example, some milk suppliers use glass bottles instead of paper cartons. The bottles may be refilled and used again. People can reuse old paper or plastic bags to carry groceries or to hold garbage．When people reuse products, they avoid both the pollution associated with the creation of a new product and the pollution caused when the product is thrown out.(89) The most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as much as possible about how their actions affect the environment Then they can make intelligent choices that will reduce damage to the planet.26. There are several ways, listed in the passage, for individuals to conserve energy except .A. driving lessB. using more efficient light bulbs and home appliancesC. using appliances less oftenD. using less fertilizer and pesticides27. The most important way for individuals to reduce pollution is .A. .saving energy B .eating less meatC. using paper bagsD. closing all the power plants28. Learning much about how their actions affect the environment can help people fight pollution because they ．A. can make intelligent choices to reduce damage to the environmentB．can choose to buy products that are safe for the environmentC. can choose to eat less meat and more grains, beans, and vegetablesD. would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections29. One of the simplest ways to prevent pollution is ．A. driving lessB. reusing productsC. conserving energyD. buying more efficient bulbs30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Most Important Ways to Reduce PollutionB. The Best Ways to Converse EnergyC. The Simplest Ways to Control PollutionD. Individual Efforts on Controlling PollutionQuestions 31--35 are based on the following passage.The scope of mankind's activities has experienced expansion from land to ocean, from ocean to atmosphere, and from atmosphere to outer space. Space technology, which emerged in the 1950s, opened up a new era of man's exploration of outer space.(90) Having developed rapidly for about half a century, mankind’s space activities have scored remarkable achievements, greatly promoted the development of social productivity and progress, and produced profound and far-reaching effects. Space technology has turned out to be one field of high technology that exerts the most profound influence on modern society. The continuous development and application of space technology has become an important endeavor in the modernization drive of countries all over the world.The Chinese nation created a glorious civilization in the early stage of mankind's history. The gunpowder "rocket" invented by ancient Chinese was the embryo of modern space rockets. After the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, China carried out space activities on its own, and succeeded in developing and launching its first man-made satellite in 1970. China has made eye-catching achievements, and now ranks among the world's most advanced countries in some important fields of space technology. In the 21st century, China will continue to promote the development of its space industry in the light of its national situation, and make due contribution to the peaceful use of outer space, and to the civilization and progress of mankind. 31．Space technology emerged ．A. with the invention of airplanes B . in the middle of the 20th centuryC. with the invention of spaceships D. with the invention of gunpowder32.

2004年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试试卷ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov. 2004)Paper OnePart ⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes 15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.Though your parents probably meant to have your name last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they d hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they cared for when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to fit you, dont lose heart. Film stars change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.If you wish to pick up a new name, you dont need to make the change official. Under common law, all that is necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, though, that you must use it everywhere-even with your mother-for it to become your legal name.Getting friends and fellow workers to call you Leach instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork involved, but you ll probably meet official resistance, too. （86）Be sure that no law prevents you from using the name you have chosen, unless you use it for the purpose of cheating. If the gas company tells you that you cannot get your bill under a new name, they are wrong. You dont have to show them any sort of court document. You have a right to be called by whatever name you choose.By this time, youve probably realized that changing your name is more difficult than replacing your furniture or changing your hair color, though the effect can be unusually encouraging. Dont care too much if you have to keep reminding others of your change of a new name-keep on, and your friends and lover will accept your new name. Good luck!16. You may wish to change your name because ______.A. you are required to do soB. you dont mean to have your name last a lifetimeC. you like to follow what film stars often doD. you may not like your parents choice17. If you wish to start using the name of your own choice, you _____.A. must get your friends to call your new nameB. dont have to get permission from anybodyC. must use it with your mother firstD. need to be approved by the court18. No law keeps you from using whatever name you have chosen, if only ______.A. you pick up a new name not for purpose of wrong-doingB. you can get your fellow workers to call you the new nameC. the gas company agrees to get your bill under your new nameD. some sort of court document is given to you19. You may realize that changing your name _____.A. usually has good effectB. is actually asking for troubleC. is not as easy as rearranging your roomD. means you have to go through some troubles20.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to _____.A. show you the need of changing your nameB. encourage you if you want to change your nameC. tell you how easy it is to change one’s nameD. list al l the difficulties in changing one’s nameIn recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder.（87）As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it. Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is the degree of workers contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent more money led to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money may explain demands for shorter working hours.（88）Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.21. Which of these possible factors leading to greater productivity is not true?A. To make jobs more varied.B. To give the worker freedom to do his job in his own way.C. Degree of work contribution.D. Demands for longer working hours.22. Why workers want more money?A. Because their jobs are too boring.B. In order to enjoy more spare time.C. To make their jobs more interesting.D. To demand shorter working hours.23. The last sentence in this passage means that if we succeed in making workers jobs more interesting .A. they will want more moneyB. they will demand shorter working hoursC. more money and shorter working hours are important factorsD. more money and shorter working hours will not be so important to them24. In this passage, the author tells us .A. how to make the workers more productiveB. possible factors leading to greater efficiencyC. to what extent more money lead to greater productivityD. how to make workers jobs more interesting25. The author of this passage is probably a .A. teacherB. workerC. managerD. psychologistLaziness is a sin. everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral，that it is wasteful，and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life.But laziness can be more harmful than that，and it is often caused by more complex reasons than the simplewish to avoid work. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work. Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work：(89) some people are so busy planning，sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements，that they are unable to deal with whatever " lesser " work is on hand. Still other people are not avoiding work，strictly speaking；they are nearly procrastinating——rescheduling their day.Laziness can actually be helpful. Like procrastinators，some people look lazy when they are really thinking，planning，researching. We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance. Newton wasnt working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard or the doctor whos simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.So be careful when you re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking，resting or planning his or her next book.26.The main idea of this passage is that__________.A. laziness is a moral sinB. there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazyC. laziness is the sign of deep-seated emotional problemsD. lazy people do more careful work27.The passage states that_________.A. laziness is a diseaseB. laziness is more beneficial than harmfulC. a good definition of laziness is emotional illnessD. some people appear lazy because they are insecure28.Which of the following conclusion does the passage support?A.

The final paragraph is .A. criticalB. seriousC. satiricalD. humorousAmongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction （科幻小说）.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kind of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories. T hey are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. (90)Those who are sufficiently clear –sighted to see the way we are going,however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.31.

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages,rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A．an increasingly interconnected worldB．maintaining small numbers of speakersC．relatively isolated language communitiesD．following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A．small languages become acceptable in work placesB．homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC．global languages reach home and community settingsD．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.A．makes learning a global language unnecessaryB．facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC．raises public awareness of saving those languagesD．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A．remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB．exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC．quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD．a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

Dictionaries do not attempt to cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especially slang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowed for use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use every year and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. (86) It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words that any of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in our speaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that firstgraders enter school with at least24,000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we read or hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing , is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. (87) Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words, especiallywhen the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar ones in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author's estimation, there are words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than a million17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning toA. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ．A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabulary D. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by .A. making a list of words you need end looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we team that ．A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when weread and hear themQuestions 2125 are based on the following passageA third of Britons are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18monthlong study. About five percent of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the midtwenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middleaged population half ere overweight.Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people.The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Fad diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas（桑拿浴）merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says thereport, serve as expensive holidays.（88）Exercise is most important to health, the report emphasized; though it doesn't necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn't only for the young; from middle age a minimum of 20minutes of general physical jerks should be practiced three times a week..The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high preva lence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening, consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities. Britain's doctors, the report concludes, must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight, encouraging a change in eating habits on a longterm basis, and taking into account the many often complexreasons why fat people are fat.21．The passage mainly talks about ．A. the cause of Britons' overweightB. how to avoid getting overweightC. Britons' overweight problemD. the relations between overweight and health problems22. According to the report, a person is most likely to stay fat for the whole of his life if he .A. gets fat in the twentiesB. gets fat in his middle ageC. is born fatD. gets fat when he is child23．The report suggests that exercise ．A. is a way to reduce weightB. sometimes increase weightC. is a sure way to keep one healthyD. can convert fat to muscle24．The report points out that drinking too much alcohol ．A .will also cause one to get fatB .will cause one to do less sportsC. will make one forget the fact that he is fatD. will lead one to bad eating habits25．Britain's doctors, when treating the overweight, should ．A. encourage a longterm diet for everyoneB .be more considerate and give detailed adviceC. first consider why so many people are fatD. do all of the aboveQuestions 2630 are based on the following passage.One of the most important ways an individual can reduce pollution is by conserving energy. Conserving energy reduces the air pollution created by power plants. Driving less is one of the best ways to save energy and avoid polluting the air.People can save electricity by buying more efficient light bulbs and home appliances. People can also conserve by using appliances less often.People can also buy products that are safe for the environment. For example, households can help reduce water pollution by using fewer toxic cleaning products. If consumers refuse to purchase harmful products, manufacturers will stop making them.People can also help reduce pollution by eating less meat. Farmers use large quantities of fertilizer and pesticides to raise the production of grain on which cattle, hogs, and poultry feed. Farmers would use much less fertilizers and pesticides if people chose to eat less meat and more grains, beans and vegetables. If consumers would accept produce with slight blemishes orimperfections, farmers could reduce their use of chemicals.One of the simplest ways individuals can prevent pollution is by reusing products. For example, some milk suppliers use glass bottles instead of paper cartons. The bottles may be refilled and used again. People can reuse old paper or plastic bags to carry groceries or to hold garbage．When people reuse products, they avoid both the pollution associated with the creation of a new product and the pollution caused when the product is thrown out.(89) The most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as much as possible about how their actions affect the environment Then they can make intelligent choices that will reduce damage to the planet.26. There are several ways, listed in the passage, for individuals to conserve energy except .A. driving lessB. using more efficient light bulbs and home appliancesC. using appliances less often D. using less fertilizer and pesticides27. The most important way for individuals to reduce pollution is .A. .saving energy B .eating less meatC. using paper bagsD. closing all the power plants28.

One of the simplest ways to prevent pollution is ．A. driving lessB. reusing productsC. conserving energyD. buying more efficient bulbs30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Most Important Ways to Reduce PollutionB. The Best Ways to Converse EnergyC. The Simplest Ways to Control PollutionD. Individual Efforts on Controlling PollutionQuestions 3135 are based on the following passage.The scope of mankind's activities has experienced expansion from land to ocean, from ocean to atmosphere, and from atmosphere to outer space. Space technology, which emerged in the 1950s, opened up a new era of man's exploration of outerspace.(90) Having developed rapidly for about half a century, mankind’s space activities have scored remarkable achievements, greatly promoted the development of social productivity and progress, and produced profound and farreaching effects.

Part II Reading Comprehension:

Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.

I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.

But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize） one anothers hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）--- into a larger cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts. 16. The authors purpose writing this passage is to tell ____. A) readers how to be popular in with around B) teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselves C) parents how to control and guide their children D) people how to understand and respect each other 17. According to the author, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them ____. A) have much difficulty understanding each other B) lack confidence C) dare not cope with problems single-handed D) are very much afraid of getting lost 18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A) There is no popularity that really counts. B) What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths. C) It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates. D) Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.
