Reading comprehension (30 points)Question 41-44Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s cautious giant, understands all this. When Bill Clinton met Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah this week, Mr. Clinton argued for an output rise big eno ugh to put an end to these painful prices. Prince Abdullah has promised to “make every effort to ensure equilibrium in the oil markets and to stabilise prices.” This week he revealed that Saudi Arabia has been quietly leaking an extra 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) on to the market since July in an effort to cool prices..If that is true, it just goes to show that managing the oil markets is easier said than done. Despite several Saudi-inspired output increases by the cartel in recent months, the price has remained stubbornly high; this week, it soared to nearly $35 a barrel, the highest since theGulf war in 1990. As the cartel’s oil ministers gather in Vienna on September 10th to hammer out new production quotas, they are once again under intense pressure to release more oil, and fast.To hear OPEC members talk, you might think that serious price relief is on the way. There is discussion of “managing” prices down through a newish price mechanism. At the cartel’s meeting in March, ministers quietly agreed a grand new plan to keep oil within a target band of $22-28 a barrel. If the price of a basket of seven OPEC crudes stays below $22 for 20 trading days, the cartel is supposed to cut production by 500,000 barrels a 0ay. If it stays above $28 for 20 trading days, it will automatically raise production by the same amount. This price band has become the main topic of discussion in advance of the upcoming gathering of ministers. Prince Abdullah even talks of a return to a stable market within months.Oil traders and analysts note that the 20-day limit looks likely to be triggered again this week.A new report by Lehman Brothers, an investment bank, echoes the view of many: “Our expectation is that production will be increased by 500,000 bpd, either through the price mechanism or through a separate agreement.” When it released new figures suggesting that domestic oil-stock levels are lower than previously thought, the American government’s Energy Information Administration added that it too expects an increase of that size. Adding support to this theory are mumblings from OPEC delegates in support of the mechanism.Two decades ago, in the year of the cartel’s 20th birthday celeb rations, ministers gathered in Indonesia to hammer out details of a clever new scheme: a mechanism whereby the price of oil would be fixed, and adjusted every quarter automatically for such factors as inflation and currency fluctuations. Members had agreed on the ambitious plan, except for one crucial detail: at what price to start this price-peg crawling. The cautious Saudis, the self-proclaimed guardians of the oil market, wanted a price below $30 a barrel; the hawks in the cartel, unconcerned about consumers’ pain, demanded a much higher price. The ensuing bickering ensured that the scheme collapsed.History may now be repeating itself. When the current price-stabilization scheme was first unveiled, punters with short memories placed big bets that the cartel would adhere to it. By mid-June, the price basket had sailed past the 20-day upper trigger. But OPEC did not “automatically” release 500,000 barrels. Various confused and contradictory explanations surfaced from ministers, but not the oil. Only at their next officially scheduled meeting did they come upwith a meager quota increase.41. The passage confirms thata. high oil prices can be controlled if OPEC increase oil output.b. Bill Clinton accomplished his mission for the visit to Prince Abdullah.c. Abdullah made all his efforts to control oil price without considering the benefits of his own country.d. managing the oil market is easier said than done.42. How many oil price schemes were recommended by OPEC ministers according to the passage?a. Oneb. Twoc. Threed. Four43. What’s the author’s opinion about Saudi Arabia?a. Saudi Arabia is the largest country among the members of OPEC.b. Saudi Arabia is the most active country in OPEC to control oil prices for the benefit of the rest of the world.c. Saudi Arabia is the guardian of the world oil market.d. Saudi Arabia seems to have strong intention to control the oil prices to a acceptable level, but ittakes actions very carefully for the consideration of its own benefit.44. What can you infer from the passage?a. OPEC is, in the most cases, not reliable.b. all the members of OPEC have the intention to lower oil prices when the prices get very high.c. The oil prices are fully controlled by the market and OPEC can do nothing with them eventhough they wish tod. In most cases OPEC has been very efficient in managing oil prices.Question 45-48The horse preceded man on earth. Although the earliest remains of primitive horses have been found on the North American continent, many scientist believe this small species traveled over a land mass in the Bering Sea to found the beginnings of the modern horse in Asia. It became extinct in America. Other scientists believe that the horse may have originated in Asia. In any event the animal soon spread into China, Europe, and the Middle East. The first modern horses to be introduced into the American continent came with the early Spanish explorers. Horses were bred into many types. The heavy horses developed in the low countries of Europe and were used for Arabian. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are found in Mongolia. Horses are said to rate in intelligence after the ape, elephant, and dog. They have excellent memories and can sometimes find their way home when lost, and sense danger better that their masters. The early civilizations of man that had made use of ht horse developed more rapidly than those which did not.45. Some of the characteristics of the horse are _________a. poor memoriesb. great loyaltyc. more intelligent the dogd. in some areas they can surpass the abilities of man46. The horse originated___________a. in the Middle Eastb. in Europec. on the North American continentd. in Spain47.

The early horses were larger than the more modern breeds.b. The only true wild horses left in the 20th century are in the Middle East.c. The oldest breed of the modern horse is said to be the Arabian.d. Medieval knights preferred fast, active horses.Questions 49-52Recent intrusions into the lives of public figures have highlighted the lack of laws guarding privacy in Britain. As a result, one issue under discussion as Parliament returns this week is the possible introduction of legislation to curb press powers.The government will probably take no action until it receives a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt, due in January 1993. the committee is examining whether the press should be regulated by tougher legislation. It is also considering the ways in which the press has invaded the private lives of the famous.The Calcutt committee has reported once before, in 1990. it recommendations led to the creation of the Press Complaints Commission, under which the press was given the chance to regulate itself without the need for a privacy law. It also proposed a new criminal offence of physical intrusion to obtain information for publication.This proposal, which was not acted upon, would have made it unlawful to photograph people on private property to record their conversations without permission. It would have made it an offence to enter a property to place a bug or obtain personal information.The committee said that the press should be allowed to invade the privacy of a public figure only when it was likely to expose or prevent criminal activity, otherwise his or privacy should be left alone. But a general law protecting privacy was rejected.Since then, reports in some newspapers and magazines about people’s private lives have ignored the committee’s recommendations. The private lives of Government Ministers and members of the Royal Family have featured prominently in the press. Photographs of the Duchess of York Sunbathing in France, for example, have been widely published.Some sections of the media justify their intrusion by saying it is in the public interest. In a democracy, they argue, the public has a right to know what people in positions of power are doing. Politicians and others are accountable for their lives. Privacy laws, these critics say, would protect the privileged.Additionally, many politicians use their private lives to gain popular support, for example by parading their families before cameras to emphasized “traditional value”. Hence, some editors say they are justified in prying into private lives to uncover any faults.Likewise, the Royal Family is supported from public funds, and therefore it is argued that its members should lead responsible private lives.49. Which of the following occurred recently in Britain?a. a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt. B. Intrusion into the lives of public figuresc. Introduction of legislation to cub press powerd. The Government’s action to protect privacy.50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?a. The press has more freedom to publish privacy of the famous after the foundation of the PressComplaints Commission.b. To photograph public figures on public property is legal.c. A privacy law is unnecessary since the press has the ability to regulate itself.d. The Press Complaints Commission was formed out of the press and thus did something in favorof the press51. What kind of people are likely to appreciate the invasion of their private life?a. The members of Calcutt committeeb. royal familyc. pop starsd. somegovernment leaders52. Which is a lawful purpose for intrusion into privacy?a. To disclose criminal activityb. To be in agreement with Privacy Lawc. To gain popular supportd. To protect the privilegedQuestions 53-56When did sport begin? If sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sprot is much older than humankind for, as we all have observed, the beasts play. Dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. Fished and birds dance. The apes have simple, pleasurable games. Frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, trans-generational and trans-species bonds with the universe of animals past present and future. Young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh( or so it seems) to the point of delighted exhaust. Their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently to remove us temporarily form the anguish of life in earnest.Some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. In their generous conception, play harmlessly and experimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. Play is release form the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. This is a grand conception that excites and provokes. The holders of this view claim that origins of our highest accomplishments-liturgy, literature and law-can be traced to play a impulse which, paradoxically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. Our sports, in this rather happy, non-fatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the non-datable, trans-species play impulse.53. The best title for the passage is _________a. Games for Animalsb. The Origins and Meaning of Playc. A Playful View of Modern Philosophyd. The Role of Sport in Child Development54. It seems to the author that young animals play in order to ________a. gain pleasureb. learn specific behavior patternsc. delight their ownersd. exercise their growing muscles55. One may infer from the passage that play is important to adults because it helps them_____a. understand their childrenb. interact more with animals and naturec. channel their creativityd. improve their physical strength56. The word “noble” could best be replace by which of the following?a. snobbishb. wealthyc. royald. admirableQuestion 57-60To ensure similarity in scientific investigation or monitoring, nationally and internationally agreed standards are being introduced. Several systems of documenting experimental methods and procedures are in use today and are becoming increasingly important for indicating data quality and verifying the integrity of studies. One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals. Since 1982 the range of laboratories inspected has been extended to include those working with pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics and food additives. Good Laboratory Practice is concerned with the way. laboratory or field studies are planned, monitored, recorded and reported and the conditions under which this occurs. Following the principles of GLP ensures that the studies are properly planned, can be adequately carried out and are fully and accurately reported. As pan ofthe planning, execution and reporting of a study, the various processes carried out are carefully documented as Standard Operating Procedures.The value of long-term observation of environmental factors has only been recognized relatively recently although some monitoring of the environmental factors have been in existence for over a century. The best known long-term study is probably the Broadbalk Experiment at Rothamsted. Broadbalk and the other long-term experiments at Rothamsted and elsewhere are now proving to be extremely valuable by answering questions not considered, nor even conceived, when they were originally set up. Even so they are limited in geographic scope and by the fact that they are confined to one land use category. Current environmental and ecological monitoring networks, while not limited geographically, have in the main been set up to measure just one aspect of the environment. In contrast, the Environmental Change Network (ECN) was set up to give added value to long-term monitoring and data collection by providing a network of sites in different parts of the U.K. and under a variety of land use conditions where comparable long-term data on a wide variety of environmental variables could be recorded.The idea of a network such as ECN was first considered in the mid 1970s but the concept did not reach fruition until 1992. The selection of the initial network of terrestrial sites was based on a range of criteria. One of the most important requirements, given the intended long-term nature of the project, was financial security although consistent quality of research was also required. The project intended that other sites representing more variable climate zones and land use will eventually join the network as funding becomes available.The monitoring carded out at each ECN site covers a range of physical, chemical and biological measurements. Where possible procedures and measurements used by existing national monitoring schemes are employed so that ECN provides an integrating function for the more extensive sectorial networks. Environmental changes due to factors such as climate change are likely to be difficult to identify against the background noise arising from the numerous sources, both natural and man-made, of environmental variability. It is desirable, therefore, to minimize any additional variation due to operator involvement. To this end, and to ensure consistency and repeatability, protocols for each of the key measurements were produced.57. How many experiment(s) was (were) conducted on the monitoring of the environmental factors?a. Unknownb. Twoc. threed. one58. What does the underlined word mean in “One such approach is Good Laboratory Practice which was introduced in 1982 by the Health and Safety Executive to monitor the testing of industrial chemicals?”a. Performanceb. Standardc. Experimentd. Repetition59. Which is the correct description of “ Environment Change Network?”a. It is a network which is expected to provide environmental and ecological data representingmore geographical areasb. It is a current environmental and ecological network to measure only one aspect of theenvironmentc. Environmental Change Network remained functioning until 1992.d. Environmental Change Network was wet up to make long-term monitoring of environmentmore costly60. The passage implies, though it does not explicitly state, that _______ is ( are) the mostpromising approach to the long-term monitoring of environmental factors.a. Broasbalk Experimentb. Good Laboratory Practicec. Environmental Change Networkd. Standard Operating ProceduresCloze (10 points)Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They ______ that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the _______ man. But they insisted that its ______ results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the _______of the English population. _______ contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650-1750, when England was still a _______ agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.This view, _____ , is generally thought to be wrong.

It is likely that in excess of 80% of the literally thousands of different basic organic chemicals employed today are derived from these sources.The petrochemical industry has grown with the petroleum industry. As is the case with the latest trends in changing crude oil types, it must also evolve to meet changing technological and humanitarian needs.The manufacture of chemicals from petroleum and natural gas constituents is an excellent example of the conversion of such materials to more valuable products. The individual chemicals made from petroleum and natural gas numerous and include industrial chemicals, household chemicals and paints, as well as intermediates for the manufacture of products, such as synthetic rubber and plastics.The processing of petroleum hydrocarbon to yield materials that are, essentially, the building blocks of other chemicals industries, is now very extensive.The classification of materials such as petrochemicals is used to indicate the source of the chemical compounds, but it should be remembered that many common petrochemicals can be made form other sources, and the terminology is therefore a matter of source identification., Petrochemicals are generally chemical compounds derived from petroleum either by direct manufacture or by indirect manufacture as by-products from the variety of processes that are used during the refining of petroleum. Gasoline, fuel oils, lubricating oils, waxes, asphalts, and the like are excluded from the definition of petrochemicals, since they are not, in the true sense, chemical compounds but are in fact intimate mixtures of hydrocarbons.B级The chemical industry depends very heavily on petroleum and natural gas as sources of raw materials.

51. Those Fascinating Northern Lights 迷人的北极光1. At 10:00 p.m. on March 23，1969, the Bowater Power Water pany in Deer Lake, Newfoundland experienced a disturbance on its system. The frequency converter at er Brook tripped off, shutting down half of the big paper mill. There was a radio blackout over most of the Atlantic Provinces. And acpanying these activities was a magnificient display of northern lights —boiling up out of the north and hanging in bundles of long rays like draperies across the sky. Ninety-three million miles away, a rather ugly looking sunspot was making its way across the disc of the sun.1、1969年3月23曰晚上10点，保华特水电公司（the Bowater Power Water pany)位于纽芬兰（Newfoundland)鹿湖的设备系统出现了异常；科纳布鲁克（erBrook)的变频器跳间，使得一半的大造纸厂停产；大西洋沿岸各省的无线电中断。

伴随这些异常出现的还有辉煌的北极光——从北面喷涌而出，一束束巨大的光束像帷幔一般遮盖了整个天际。

9300万英里之外，一个相形见绌的太阳黑子出现在太阳的圆盘上。

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:One of the major achievements of modem science is the determination of the approximate age of the earth, now reckoned at 4.6 billion years. This makes theEarth far older than was formerly imagined. Indeed, one eighteenth-century religious and scientific authority circulated the widely accepted view that the planet was only some fou~r thousav~ years old. To modem scientists, however, geologic time begins with the formation of the Earth's solid crust sometime earlier than the age of the oldest known rock. Geologists divide this vast expanse of time into four eras--the Precambrian, the Paleozoic, the Mesozoic, and the Cenozoic, which takes us to the present. Thus, the almost~e bj1j~gr~years of planetary history and the 100,000 or so years of human existence are encapsulated in a mere four categories. Obviously, toaid in the discussion of such vast periods of time, further division and specification becomes necessary. Accordingly, the last three eras are further divided into 12 periods and more than 40.el2ochs, each division being determined by characteristic types of rock and planf'and animal fossil. Since the Precambrian era alone is more than four billion years long, is structurally complex, and has few fossils, it has been divided roughly in half for convenience of discussion. Scientists are working hard to discover clues about the earth's most distant past, but there still is a startling lack of ~:~: 24detail about both portions of the planet's Precambrian era.41. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. the four eras are of approximately equal duration.B. the Precambrian period is divided into periods and epochs.C. the Mesozoic period predates the Paleozoic.D. the Precambrian period predates the Cenozoic.42. The paragraph following the passage would most likely addressA. continuing scientific research into the Precambrian era.B. the Mesozoic era.C. the Cenozoic era.D. what is known about the Precambrian era:43. The word "This" in line 2 refers toA. geologic time.B. the achievements of modern science.C. a scientific discovery.D. the determination of Earth’s ageO44. According to the passage, what can be inferred about the Precambrian era?A. It had a plenitude of fossils.B. Its duration is brief.C. It is impossible to study.D. Division of the era was necessary for more focused discussion. Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:John F. Kennedy was, at 43, the youngest American to be elected president, and also the first Roman Catholic. John's grandfather was a poor Irishman who migrated to America. This immigrant and his son, Joseph, accumulated wealth and political power. Thus, John Kennedy had the advantage of wealth, family, and education.During World War II, John F. Kennedy had an outstanding record in the Navy.After the war, Kennedy worked briefly as a newspaperman, and then entered politics. He was three times elected to the House of Representatives before becoming a senator from Massachusetts. In 1960 he was elected president in a very close race in which there were charges of irregularities.Kennedy's term of office was highlighted by appeals to idealism, a broadened base of political participation, and improved civil rights. In international affairs, Kennedy saw the failure of the American-backed invasion of Cuba, and the Cuban missile crisis which brought Russia and the United States to the brink of war.The Kennedy family has known triumph and tragedy. One of John Kennedy's sisters was mentally retarded and an older brother was killed during a wartime aerial mission. John Kennedy was assassinated--as was his outspoken brother, Robert Kennedy. The family has suffered scandals of sex, alcohol, and drugs in both John's generation and in this present generation.

Confrontation with the Soviets over CubaD. Cuban-backed invasion of FloridaQuestions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:Globally, the most commonly consumed source of energy is oil, which is estimated to make up approximately 40 percent of the world's energy demand.Found in natural underground reservoirs, oil is a thick, dark liquid that is recovered from the ground through pumping and drilling processes. It has been profitably extracted from many sites across the globe, and its liquid form makes it relatively easy to transport; these two characteristics of oil have contributed to the development of an enormous international industry based on the production and distribution of this fuel. Oil is an extremely valuable commodity, used to createplastics, chemicals, and 90 percent of the fuel that powers vehicles.At one time, coal was the world's primary source of fuel. Although it currently accounts for a smaller percentage of global energy consumption than oil, coal is still a major fossil fuel. The extraction process for coal differs from the drilling methodof extraction used for oil because coal is sedimentary rock, as opposed to a liquid, and therefore must be mined. More abundant than any other fossil fuel, coal has been a major source of energy for many years, contributing significantly to the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution. Although the applications of coal have changed since the introduction of the internal combustion engine decreased the need for coal to power steam engines, it is still a heavily exploited energy source. In the United States, it powers 50 percent of the electricity the country uses, whereas oil generates only 2 percent of the country's electricity.Comprising a percentage of global energy consumption similar to coal, natural gas is a fossil fuel that occurs in a gaseous form. Natural gas is recovered from underground reservoirs when pockets of gas are drilled into and pressure is appliedin order to force it to the surface. Because it is a gas, this form of fossil fuel has not been as widely utilized as coal and oil, and for sometime it was considered to be nothing more than a byproduct of oil; until recently, transporting natural gas was expensive and required complex pipeline systems that limited the potential transportation range. However, new technology has made it possible to cool natural gas into a liquid form (LNG). As a liquid, natural gas can be distributed using systems similar to those used for oil. As an energy source, natural gas can be used in diverse ways. It helps produce electricity, fuels vehicles, and meets household energy needs--for example in cooking and heating. In terms of pollution, naturalgas is a cleaner fossil fuel when burned it releases 30 percent less carbon dioxide than oil and 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal.In spite of these differences, oil, coal, and natural gas can be grouped in a single category as fossil fuels and, as such, share many similarities. Two problematic issues common to oil, coal, and natural gas are related to the finite supplies of fossil fuels and the health risks associated with these fuel sources. As the three major sources of global energy; oil, coal, and natural gas account for approximately 87 percent of the world's energy consumption. Because global energy demands are constantly rising while these nonrenewable fossil fuel reserves are depleted, in the future, humanity will be facing severe energy crises if it does not change the way resources like natural gas, coal, and oil are consumed. Another drawback of fossil fuel use is the intrinsic health risk. Oil, for example, contains carcinogenic chemicals, a serious problem when populated areas are contaminated with petroleum. In the coal industry, miners face many health risks: coal dust causes a lung disease know as "black lung."49. According to Paragraph l, which of the following is true about extracting oil from the ground?A. It must be transported immediately after it reaches the surface.B. It must be drawn out of the ground from subterranean pools.C. It must be gathered carefully because of its carbon dioxide content.D. It must be liquefied before it can be easily removed.50. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about coal?A. It was the first fuel used to generate electricity.B. It was most widely used when it powered steam engines.C. It is currently the most commonly used fossil fuel.D. Its usage is declining because it causes pollution problems.51. In Paragraph 3, the author explains that natural gas is cleaner than other fossilfuels byA. comparing its primary uses with the uses of coal and oil.B. describing the extraction processes for oil, coal, and natural gas.C. contrasting its carbon dioxide emissions with the emissions of oil and coal.D. stating the percentage of global energy consumption each fossil fuelaccounts for.52. The word "finite" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA. accessibleB. localizedC. limitedD. promisingQuestions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:Just as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals suggests that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning."It's clear that the brain benefits from exercise," says brain scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formationof connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive."The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups," Greenough said, "In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals."Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn't exercise showed no improvement.This boost in reaction time after exercise training may occur because declines associated with getting old could actually stem from declines in physical condition. Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attributed to gettingold may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physically active, in addition to related factors such as medicines and poor diet.53. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.~B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.54. One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats or otheranimals is thatA. rats and humans are very much alike.B. rats benefit from the experiments.C. the experiments can boost the brains of the rats.D. an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.55. Which word in Paragraph 5 tells us that older adults were divided into twogroups in the human studies?A. fasterB. correspondingC. inactiveD. older56. Which of the following is not a finding that results from the studies of olderadults?A. Regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processesinformation.B. Inactive adults can hit buttons faster in response to a tone after beingtrained.C. Getting old is the cause for the reduction in mental function.D. Neglecting to stay physically active may be the reason of the reduction inmental function.Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:Even though the majority of Americans would find it hard to imagine what life could be like without a car, some have begun to realize that the automobile is a mixed blessing. Traffic accidents are increasing steadily, and large cities are troubled by too many automobiles. Worst of all, perhaps, is the air pollution caused by the internal-combustion engine. Every car engine burns hundreds of gallons of fuel each year and pumps hundreds of pounds of carbon monoxide and other gases into the air. These gases are one source of the smog that hangs over large cities. Some of these gases are poisonous and dangerous to health, especially for someone with a weak heart or a respiratory disease.~One answer to the problem of air pollution is to build a car that does not pollute.That's what several major automobile manufacturers are trying to do. But building a clean car is easier said than done. So far, progress has been slow. 'Another solution is to eliminate car fumes altogether by getting rid of the internal-combustion engine. Inventors are now working on turbine-powered cars, as well as on cars powered byelectricity. But most of us won't be driving cars run on batteries in the near future. Many auto makers believe that it will take years to develop practical models that are powered by electricity or steam.To rid the world of pollution--pollution caused not just by cars, but by all of modern industrial life--many people believe w~--must make some fundamental changes in the way many of us live. Americans may, for example, have to cut down on the number of privately owned cars and d~pend more on public mass transportation systems. Certainly the extensive use of new transportation systems could reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. But these changes do not come easily. Sometimes they conflict with other urgent problems. For example, if a factory closes down because it cannot meet government pollution standards, a large number of workers will suddenly find themselves without jobs.57. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. People's Anxiety Over Air PollutionB. Air Pollution and Its Possible SolutionsC. Prospects of Public Transportation SystemsD. Air Pollution and Its Bad Effects58. It can be known from the passage thatA. People with respiratory diseases suffer more if they travel by car.B. Cars run on batteries will soon come into existence.C. Americans prefer public mass transportation systems.D. Internal-combustion engine is responsible for air pollution.59. How many solutions are mentioned in the passage to the problem of airpollution?A. OneB. TwoC. Three.19: Four60. The author ends the passage with an example which shows thatA. government pollution standards are popular among the workers.B. changes in people's way of life will sometimes cause other urgentproblems.C. it is not so difficult to make people change their way of life.D. factories should rely on workers for profit.Section BDirections: There are lO blanks in the following passage.

Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.The modem urban planning and redevelopment movement arose in response to the disorder and dirtiness of the slum areas created by the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century.Reformation of these areas was the 61 of early city planners, who imposed regulatory laws establishing 62 for housing, sanitation, water supply, sewage and public health conditions. Urban planners also 63 parks and playgrounds intocrowded city neighborhoods, 64 places for recreation, as well as visible relief.The chief new urban planning concept of the early 20th century was zoning--the regulation of building activity to set 65 of height and density and to protect established neighborhoods.Urban territory 66 as a result of improved public transportation. Workers could live far from their jobs, traveling back and forth by bus, subway, or car.By the middle of the 20th century, urban planning changed its focus. Planners realized that factors of city living must be considered as a whole, so they aimed lessat attaching 67 problems than at the improvement of entire urban surroundings.Another 68 of urban building has been the 69 of experimental new towns and cities. In Great Britain, India, Israel and South America a few new cities were built entirely from plans. Urban planning was an important factor in Europe after World War II, 70 urban planners directed the reconstruction ofwar-shattered areas..61. A. object B. subject C. objective D. originate62.
