Russet Burbank potatoes were 31 , cut into shoestrings, and fried in its kitchens. 32 the chain expanded nationwide, in the mid-1960s, it sought to cut labor costs, reduce the number of suppliers, and 33 that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant. McDonald’s began 34 to frozen French fries in 1966-and few customers noticed the difference. 35, the change had a profound effect on the nation’s agriculture and diet. A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial 36. McDonald’s fried now come from huge manufacturing plants 37 can process two million pounds of potatoes a day. The expansion 38 McDonald’s and the popularity of its low-cost, and mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.The taste of McDonald’s French fries played a crucial role in the chain’s success—fries are much more profitable than hamburgers—and was 39 praised by customers, competitors, and even food critics. Their 40 taste does not stem form the kind of potatoes that McDonald’s 41, the technology that processes them, or the restaurant equipment that fries them: other chains use Russet Burbank, buy their French fries from the 42 large processing companies, and have similar 43 in their restaurant kitchens. The taste of a French fry is 44 determined by the cooking oil. For decades McDonald’s cooked its French fries in a mixture of about 7 percent cotton seed oil and 93 percent beef fat.

The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose was to invent a vigorous game that could be played indoors in the winter.In 1891, Naismith was an instructor at a training school, which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs.

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on your answer sheet.TEXT A The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our food supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon. Attempts to prevent pollution legislation, economic in-centimes and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal and industrial denial and long delays-not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it. It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industrys and our recognition that protecting mankinds great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now. We are being asked, and, in fact ,the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Y es, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge. We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-versioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion. I believe we have a three - part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.66. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because _____.A) they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doingB) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interestsC) time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on itD) it is difficult for them to take effective measures67. The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is _____.A) to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasionB) to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protectionC) to take radical measures to control environmental pollutionD) to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards68. The word tunnel-versioned (Line 2, Para.4) most probably means ____.A) narrow-mindedB) blind to the factsC) short-sightedD) able to see only one aspect69. Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?A) Legislation and government intervention.B) The industry's understanding and support.C) The efforts of environmental health professionals.D) The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.TEXT B British universities, groaning under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are warning that the tradition of a free education is at risk. The universities have threatened to impose an admission fee on students to plug a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and scrap some public spending cutbacks. The government responded to the universities threat by setting up the most fundamental review of higher education for a generation, under a non-party troubleshooter? Sir Ron Dearing. One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago. Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money —— but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business. Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs ,something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now. They await Dearings advice, hoping it will not be too late —— some are already reported to be in financial difficulty. As the century nears its end, the whole concept of what a university should be is under the microscope. Experts ponder how much they can use computers instead of classrooms, talk of the need for lifelong learning and refer to students as consumers." The Confederation of British Industry, the key employers organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from booming Asian economies. But the government has doubts about more expansion. The Times newspaper egress, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers soared, with close tutorial supervision giving way to pass production methods more typical of European universities.70. The chief concern of British universities is ______.A) how to tackle their present financial difficultyB) how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprisesC) how to improve their educational technologyD) how to put an end to the current tendency of quality deterioration71. We can learn from the passage that in Britain ______.A) the government pays dearly for its financial policyB) universities are mainly funded by businessesC) higher education is provided free of chargeD) students are ready to accept loan schemes for tuition72. What was the percentage of high school graduates admitted to universities in Britain thirty years ago?A) 20% or so.B) About 15%.C) Above 30%.D) Below 10%.TEXT C Reebok executives do not like to hear their stylish athletic shoes called footwear for yuppies. They contend that Reebok shoes appeal to diverse market segments, especially now that the company offers basketball and childrens shoes for the under-18 set and walking shoes for older customers not interested in aerobics or running. The executives also point out that through recent acquisitions they have added hiking boots, dress and casual shoes, and high-performance athletic footwear to their product lines, all of which should attract new and varied groups of customers. Still, despite its emphasis on new markets, Reebok plans few changes in the up market retailing network that helped push sales to 1 billion annually, ahead of all other sports shoe marketers. Reebok shoes, which are priced from 27 to 85, will continue to be sold only in better specialty, sporting g goods, and department stores, in accordance with the companys view that consumers judge the quality of the brand by the quality of its distribution. In the past few years, the Massachusetts-based company has imposed limits on the number of its distributors (and the number of shoes supplied to stores), partly out of necessity. At times the unexpected demand for Reeboks exceeded supply, and the company could barely keep up with orders from the dealers it already bad. These fulfillment problems seem to be under control now, but the company is still selective about its distributors. At present, Reebok shoes are available in about five thousand retail stores in the United States. Reebok has already anticipated that walking shoes will be the next fitness-r elated craze, replacing aerobics shoes the same way its brightly colored, soft leather exercise footwear replaced conventional running shoes. Through product diversification and careful market research, Reebok hopes to avoid the distribution problems Nike came across several years ago, when Nike misjudged the strength of the aerobics shoe craze and was forced to unload huge inventories of running shoes through discount stores.73. One reason why Reebok's managerial personnel don't like their shoes to be called "footwear for yuppies" is that _______.A) they believe that their shoes are popular with people of different age groupsB) new production lines have been added to produce inexpensive shoesC) "yuppies" usually evokes a negative imageD) the term makes people think of prohibitive prices74. Reebok's view that "consumers judge the quality of the brand by the quality of its distribution" (Line 5, Para. 2) implies that ______.A) the quality of a brand is measured by the service quality of the store selling itB) the quality of a product determines the quality of its distributorsC) the popularity of a brand is determined by the stores that sell itD) consumers believe that first-rate products are only sold by high-quality stores.75. Reebok once had to limit the number of its distributors because ______.A) its supply of products fell short of demandB) too many distributors would cut into its profitsC) the reduction of distributors could increase its share of the marketD) it wanted to enhance consumer confidence in its products76. Although the Reebok Company has solved the problem of fulfilling its orders, it ______.A) does not want to further expand its retailing networkB) still limits the number of shoes supplied to storesC) is still particular about who sells its productsD) still carefully chooses the manufacturers of its products77. What lesson has Reebok learned from Nike's distribution problems?A) A company should not sell its high quality shoes in discount stores.B) A company should not limit its distribution network.C) A company should do follow-up surveys of its products.D) A company should correctly evaluate the impact of a new craze on the market.TEXT D Cars account for half the oil consumed in the U.S., about half the urban pollution and one fourth the greenhouse gases. They take a similar oil of resources in other industrial nations and in the cities of the developing world. As vehicle use continues to increase in the coming decade, the U.S. and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health-related and political costs. It is unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or that other nations will accept a large and growing U.S. contribution to global climatic change. Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use, increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, witch to less harmful fuels, or find less polluting driving systems. The last of these ——in particular the introduction of vehicles powered by electricity is ultimately the only sustainable option. The other alternatives are attractive in theory but in practice are either impractical or offer only marginal improvements. For example, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host of social and environmental problems, but evidence from around the world suggests that it is very difficult to make people give up their cars to any significant ex tent. In the U.S., mass-transit rider ship and carpooling have decline d since World War II. Even in western Europe, with fuel prices averaging more than 1 a liter (about 4 a gallon) and with easily accessible mass transit and dense populations, cars still account for 80 percent of all passenger travel. Improved energy efficiency is also appealing, but automotive fuel economy ha s barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuels such as natural gas, burned in internal-combustion engines, could be introduced at relatively low cost, but they would lead to only marginal reductions in pollution and greenhouse missions (especially because oil companies are already spending billions of dollars every year to develop less polluting types of gasoline).78. From the passage we know that the increased use of cars will ______.A) consume half of the oil produced in the worldB) have serious consequences for the well-being of all nationsC) widen the gap between the developed and developing countriesD) impose an intolerable economic burden on residents of large cities79.

Now skim TEXT E below and mark your answer on your answer sheet. Maybe youd like to have a vegetable garden, but you live in a room, an apartment, a townhouse or a mobile home, and you think there is no place at all for such activity. But if you have a doorstep, a balcony or even just a windowsill, you can have your own mini-garden. Mini-gardening with vegetables, fruit trees and herbs can be fascinating fun, and you can mix or match all vegetables or vegetables and flowers Y ou can grow them in greenhouses, under fluorescent lights, or in a sunny window. Perhaps now, with the prices of fresh vegetables competing with those of meats and dairy products, this is more than ever an important aspect of indoor gardening . But entirely aside from the economic dividends, there is the pleasure of enjoying a truly fresh product, one you grew yourself from plant to plate. V egetable plants grow better in full sunlight than in the shade. Some vegetables need more light than can stand more shade than vegetable fruit plants (cucumbers) which do very poorly in the shade. Plant your vegetable fruit plants where the will get the most sun, and you leafy vegetables and root vegetables in the shadier areas.81.

There were two Wright brothers whose ancestors had emigrated from England to America in the seventeenth century. Wilbur was born in 1867 and Orville four years later. When they left school, the two brothers started a small cycle factory. One day they heard that a man called Langley had make an aero plane driven by a small cycle factory. One day they heard that a man called Langley had mend an aero plane driven by a small steam-engine. this aero plane flew without a pilot over the river Potomac until its engine failed and it came down in the river. "Let us try to make an aero plane that will carry a man." Said Wilbur. The two brothers set to work, designing and building gliders. when they had learned how to control their gliders skillfully, they attacked the problem of supplying power to drive the machine. Instead of using a steam engine, they decided to use a petrol engine, which was smaller and lighter and more efficient. Just before 10:30 on the morning of December 17th, five spectators stood in the cold wind at Kitty Hawk and Watched Orville climbing into his machine. If rose to a height of eight to ten feet about the ground and stayed in the air for twelve seconds. the first power-driven flight had succeeded. The two brothers enthusiastically continued their experiments. they improved the engine and the aircraft. On September the, 1908, Orville amazed a crowd of a thousand people by remaining air borne of one hour two minutes and thirty seconds. the machine carried a passenger and a pilot and traveled at forty miles per hour.87.

专四模拟试题附参考答案 (3) 4For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light，shift work，all-night cable TV and the Internet， Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24－hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night，a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people， that’s not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are generic.But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in， by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed at other discomforts.About one thirdof the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else， we look at their sleep，” Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns，“My motto (座右铭) is ‘sle ep defensively’，” says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep， even if it means giving up other things.Sleep routines－like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day－are important.Pre－bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsneer， who used to suffer from sleeplessness， a few lifestyle change－avoiding stimulants and late meals， exercising hours before bedtime， relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.90.What is TRUE of human sleep？A. Most people need less sleep when grow older.B. Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.C. On average， people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.D. For most people， less than six hours of sleep on a typical worknight is enough.91.For our bodies to function properly， we should .A. sleep for at least eight hours per nightB. believe that we need less sleep as we ageC.adjust our activities to the new inventionsD. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks92.According to the author， many sleeping disorders are causedby .A. other diseasesB.pre－bedtime exercisesC.improper sleep patternsD.Chronic fatigue syndrome93.Which of the following measures can help you sleep better？A. Staying up late.B. Taking a hot bath.C. Having late meals.D. Traveling between time zones.94.“Sleep defensively” means that .A. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosedB.people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightC. people should sacrifice other things to get enough sleep if necessary.D. People should give up going to bed and going up at the same every day.TEXT DThe word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light， from the Sun or a light bulb， is emitted spontaneously， when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves， without any outside intervention.Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917. However， for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second WorldWar that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many others to emit light， amplifying it to much higher powers.The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes， then at Columbia University in New York. Instead of working with light， however， he worked with microwaves， which have a much longer wavelength， and built a device he called a “maser” ， for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.Although he thought of the key idea in 1951， the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long， many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated mission at even shorter wavelengths.The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow，then at Bell Telephone Laboratories， wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time， similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould， then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia， who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal， Physical Review Letters， but Gould filed a patent application. Some decades later， people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.95.Which of the following statements best describes a laser？A.A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light.B.An atom in a high-energy state.C.A technique for destroying atoms or molecules.D.An instrument for measuring light waves.96.Why was Townes' early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves？A.He was not concerned with light amplification.B.It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.C.His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.D.The laser had already been developed.97.In his research at Columbia University， Charles Townes workedwith all of the following EXCEPT .A.stimulated emissionB.microwavesC.light amplificationD.a maser98.In approximately what year was the first maser built？A.1917.B.1951.C.1953.D.1957.99.Why do people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser？A. The researchers' notebooks were lost.B. Several people were developing the idea at the same time.C .No one claimed credit for the development until recently.D. The work is still incomplete.100.According to the passage，Townes，Arthur Schawlow，and Gordon Gould didn't .A. come up with similar ideas about laserB. write their ideas downC.work at Columbia UniversityD. do their share for the study of the laserTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you,and expression of your personality. Thereforeto write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized.A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence.What was the most interesting letter you received?Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes.They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write ispart of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C.Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters。

So more and more people surf on Internet. Internet plays an important role in our lives. Although it has positive effects ,there are some negative ones, too. The positive effects can be demonstrated as follows. For a start, from Internet,we can obtain much beneficial information and communicate with others conveniently. This,in turn,helps improve our working efficiency and promotes the economical prosperity of our country.What’s more,from it,we can study and entertain ourselves.In addition, Internet also brings friendship between individuals,and even between countries.In contrast, Internet also gives rise to a series of negative effects as well.For example,some contents on Internet are violent and dirty,which will corrode some people’s soul.Furthermore,the long chatting on Internet will hinder people’s study and rest. The influen ce of Internet is actually a double edged sword.We should t r y to make the most of its advantages.At the same time,we should avoid its harmfulness.SECTION B NOTE-WRITINGDear John,I’m so sorry I can’t come to your party this evening.My mother is ill,and Im going home to see her.
