In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain lucre, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.46．What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A．The rising of the sea level.B．The experts’ lack of knowledge.C．The washing-away of limestone cliffs.D．The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.正确答案：C47．The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ______.A．will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB．has now become a threat to the local residentsC．can be stopped if proper measures are takenD．is quickly changing the map of England正确答案：B48．The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can ______.A．warn people whose homes are in dangerB．provide an effective way to slow it downC．help the prevent it from worseningD．lead to its eventual solution正确答案：A49．It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ______.A．house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB．it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC．the government is too slow in taking actionD．they will be easily knockdown by waves and currents正确答案：B50．According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should ______.A．take the quality of the house into considerationB．guard against being cheated by the house agentC．examine the house carefully before making a decisionD．be aware of the potential danger involved正确答案：DIt is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “upbrigning” is normally used to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education”. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the child, so that upbringing and education are interdependent. The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child Upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents’ capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child. Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules. All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child, the more readily the mother gives is to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her child’s continuing development may be warped. A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile stage of discovery before he is ready to goon to the less physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before.51．It’s a general belief that a child’s later character and personality is ______ decided by his early experiences both at home and in school.A．chieflyB．by chanceC．entirelyD．seldom正确答案：A52．The word “cumulative” (in line 1, Para. 1) most probably means ______.A．decisiveB．extremely beneficialC．strongD．progressively greater正确答案：D53．It can be seen from the passage that ______.A．the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child’s upbringing in the homeB．by no means does the technological development of children’s characterC．there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD．upbringing and education are mutually complementary正确答案：D54．A child’s development might well be badly affected if ______.A．he was subjected to unusually strict disciplineB．his mother often gave in to his demandsC．his energies were freely given an outletD．he were brought up in a happy environment正确答案：A55．As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personality is a series of ______.A．actsB．stagesC．functionsD．completions正确答案：BSection BYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world. In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country. When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket, check into a hotel or casino. Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit. Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures. Maybe because most Americans use their passports only when traveling and because they are good for five years, many people lose their passports. Any every passport is worth thousands of dollars to smugglers or criminals who desire to enter this country illegally or assume a false identity. Travelers should keep their passports in their pockets or pocketbooks at all times; never pack them or leave them in a room or automobile; when you arrive back home, store your passport in a safe or safety deposit box. And report a lost or stolen passport immediately; it is literally your identity.56．What is the main purpose of this passage?正确答案：To provide information about passports.57．Passports are needed when ______.正确答案：exchanging currency, using credit cards, checking into hotels, etc.58．Concerning passports and visas, what can we conclude from this passage?正确答案：Passports are more important than visas.59．What does the passage suggest about the importance of passports?正确答案：Most people don’t realize how important passports are.60．Where should travelers keep their passports?正确答案：In their pockets or pocketbooks．Section CHeat loss by sweating depends on the fact that when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs an enormous quantity of heat from its surroundings. Therefore, when 1 ml. of sweat evaporate, a great deal of heat is absorbed from the surface of the body in contact with it. This heat transfer occurs even if the environment is hotter than the body. Two factors affect the rate of evaporation of sweat, and therefore the effectiveness of sweating as a method of cooling the body. The first is the amount of movement of air surrounding the body. The second is the amount of water vapor in the air that surrounds the body. When air moves over the surface of water, the amount of evaporation is greatly increased. For this reason, sweat evaporates very rapidly on windy days, and the rate of heat loss by sweating is much more than on a still day. This accounts for the fact that hot still days are much less comfortable than hot windy days. In contrast, the sweat evaporates very rapidly on hot windy days, and cools the body quickly and effectively. The second factor is the amount of water vapor in the air--the humidity. When air is carrying the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, it is said to be 100% saturated with water vapor. The relative humidity of the air is said to be 100%. Under these conditions the air cannot carry any water, so no water can evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, therefore, sweat cannot evaporate. Instead, it forms large drops and runs off your skin without cooling you. When the air is very dry and carries no water at all, the relative humidity is said to be 0%. It is obvious that under these conditions, evaporation will be much more rapid. Therefore, sweating will be much more effective as a method of losing heat from the body. On a hot dry day, sweat evaporates as soon as it is formed, and you feel reasonably cool even though the temperature of your environment is very high.61．______ According to the passage, it can be inferred that housewives prefer to hang their washing on hot still days.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B62．______ People have good reasons to feel cool on a hot dry day because of quick evaporation.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B63．______ Hot windy days are much more comfortable than hot still days.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：B64．______ On an extremely hot day, sweating to cool your body effectively will occur when the air is very hot and dry and carries no water at all.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：A65．______ The heat transfer happens on the condition that the environment is cooler than the body.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：A66．______ You might expect the highest incidence of a heat stroke when the maximum temperature is 100 and humidity is 50%.A．TB．FC．NG正确答案：CSection DThe most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely newphenomenon.【73】. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960s, but it was in the 1970s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene. One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1842. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent,【74】under the design leadership of Benjamin Thompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking. Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and【75】designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights. San Antonio, Texas,【76】. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which meanders through the business district. Sentences: A. offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay B. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. C. During the 1970s, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modem use. D. public amenities carved out of a massive pile E. It has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine buildings.67．正确答案：B68．正确答案：E69．正确答案：D70．正确答案：APart ⅤTranslationSection A(89) For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outsidetheir home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford”. (90) With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less. Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. (91) It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings. (92) There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. (93) I regret my impatience to get on with my career; I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.71．正确答案：对许多妇女来说，可以在出门工作还是呆在家里进行选择是一种奢侈，因为他们要工作谋生。
