Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET .Passage OneOf all the foods we k now, fruit is one of the m ost healthful. It is also one of the m ost tasty foods.Al m ost e v eryone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in al m ost e v ery part of the world. There are hundreds of different k inds of fruits. And there are thousands of different v arieties. In the United States alone, there are se v eral hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are m ost i m portant. Inthis group, we ha v e bananas and pineapples. They are shipped fro m tropical countries and are eaten all o v er the world.Next co m e the subtropical fruits. The m ost i m portant of these are the citrus (柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges, tangerines (柑橘), li m es (酸橙酸橙), and grapefruit are fa vorites. Other fruits in this class are fi g s, gs, dates, and oli v es.The last group co m es fro m the te m perate z one. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plum s. Many k inds of berries fi t t this group, too. Fruits arev ery i m portant to the hu m an diet. Besides being tasty, they pro v ide i m portant acids, salts, and v ita m ins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the m ore fruit people eat, the healthier they beco m e.31. Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most _______.A. colorfulB. healthfulC. deliciousD. Both B and C32. Pineapples are grown in _______ climate.A. cold and dryB. hot and humidC. snowy and wetD. mild and dry33.

Strawberries probably belong to _______.A. tropical fruitsB. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruitsD. None of the above35. Fruits are popular because they are easy to _______.A. plantB. digestC. serveD. tastePassage TwoMost people who bother with the m atter at all would ad m it that the E nglish language is in a bad way, but it is generally assu m ed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our ci v ili z ation is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argum ent runs — m ust ine v itably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a senti m ental archais m (拟古拟古), lik e preferring candles to electric light or handso m e cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instru m ent which we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language m ust ulti m ately ha v e political and econo m ical causes:it is not due to the bad influence of this or that indi v idual writer. But an effect can beco m e a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the sa m e effect in an intensi fi e d ed for m , and so on inde fi n itely.nitely. A m an m ay ta k e to drin k because he feels hi m self to be a failure, and then fail all the m ore co m pletely because he drin k s. It is rather the sa m e thing that is happening to the E nglish language. It beco m es ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slo v enliness of our language m a k es it easier for us to ha v e foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is re v ersible. Modern E nglish, especially written E nglish, is full of bad habits which spread by i m itation and which can be a v oided if one is willing to tak ethe necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think m ore clearly, and to thin k clearly is aght against bad E nglish is not foolish and is not rst step towards political re v i v al: so that the fi g htnecessary fi r stthe exclusi v e concern of professional writers.36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English language because _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their bad habits37.

The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything about the problemB. the decline in the language can be stoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stage towards the political revival of the language would be ______A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against bad EnglishB. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolishPassage Threev oirk nowledge of preceding wor k.
