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.,~ 289Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:According to the dictionary definition of "create", ordinary people are creative every day. To create means "to bring into being, to cause to exist"--something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, "There is nothing new under the sun," the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.41. The author holds thatA. creativity is of highly demandB. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extentC. creativity is to create something new and concreteD. to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one's creativity42. "There is nothing new under the sun." (Par. 3) really implies that __A. we can seldom create new thingsB. a new thing is only a taleC. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original thingsD. we can scarcely see really new things in the world43. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being putinto practice?A. It's more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.44. The best title for this passage is __A. How to Cultivate One's CreativityB. What is CreativityC. The Importance of CreativityD. Creativity--a Not Farway Thing.~, 290Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white--a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life--her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce's 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood".45. What's the author's main purpose in the passage?A. To interpret Emily Dickinson's eccentric behavior.B. To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.C. To discuss Emily Dickinson's failed love affair.D. To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson's time.46. Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson's eccentricities?A. Refusing to eat.B. Wearing only white.C. Avoiding visitors.D. Staying in her room.47. The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson's seclusion to __A. physical illnessB. a failed love affairC. religious fervorD. her dislike of people48. It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that wascharacterized by __A. strong Puritan beliefsB. equality of men and womenC. the encouragement of nonconformityD. the appreciation of poetic creativity,~, 291Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the nations colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials (文凭) than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an "integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus."Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任职), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculties say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications."49. The word "core" (lines 9, 1 st paragraph) might meanA. aimB. unitC. centerD. course50. One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that __A. a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many collegesB. students don't have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learnC. skills are being taught as a means to an endD. students are not interested in learning51. American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their fouryeardegree candidatesbecauseA. most of them lack high quality facultiesB. students are becoming more and more lazyC. there are not enough incentives for students to study hardD. they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching52. It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college education calls for __A. high quality facultiesB. a commitment to students and effective teachingC. the cultivation of students' interest in learning,~, 292D. dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledgeQuestions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to pl0w. But that was once upon a time.. The days of unused land are over. Now the land has been spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks, put to use.At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and places to play. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishers. And it isn't just a matter of population growth. Our modem technology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports. Each of these land uses swallows up precious space. Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000 acres each year. And urban sprawl -- the spreading out of cities -- is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife. It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.53. "...the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around" means that __A. the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk aroundB. the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyoneC. the United States could provide whatever its inhabitents' needsD. the United States was not able to allow its people to do what they wanted to54. The sentence of "Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over" suggests thatA, the United States had a lot of rivers to dam and many rural valleys, tooB. the rivers could be dammed laterC. rural valleys would be considered in the futureD. people needn't think of the rivers and valleys55. "Now the land has been spoken for, ..." tells us that __A. today, land has shown its valuesB. now, people have said something about landC. nowadays, land has been claimed by human beingsD. recently, people spoke for the land56. The word "sprawl" indicates thatA. cities are developing very fast to meet the people's demandsB. urban areas are diminishing smoothlyC. urban areas are enlarging steadily in a planned wayD. cities are spreading out without any plans,~ 293Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kindsof people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.57. What kind of society tends to promote social changes?A. A society where people are similar in many ways.B. A society where there are only white people.C. A society where there are only black people.D. A society where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.58. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?A. Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.B. Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were old.C. Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to promote social change.D. Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.59. Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways becauseA. people there are easy to pleaseB. people there are less argumentaryC. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think itnecessary to changeD. people there have same needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty60. The passage is mainly discussing294A. two different societiesB. certain factors that determine the case with which social change occursC. the necessity of social changeD. the significance of social changeSection BDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is 61 I became an animal collector in the first place. The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able~' to say with any 62 was not the conventional "mamma" or "daddy", 63 the word "zoo", which I would repeat over and over again with a shrill voice until someone, in group to 64 me up, would take me to the zoo. When I grew a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great65 of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare-time exploring the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 66 to my collection of pets. later on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student 67 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches, which were not easy to keep at home~ When I left, I successfully had enough money of my own to be able to 68 my first trip and I have been going regularly ever since then.

You are to translate the passages intoChinese on your Answer Sheet.71.Refining petroleum is a complex series of steps by which the original crude material is,~ 295eventually converted into salable products with the desired qualities and, perhaps more important, in the amounts dictated by the market.In fact, a refinery is essentially a group of manufacturing plants that vary in number with thevariety of products produced; refinery processes must be selected and products manufactured to give a balanced operation: that is, crude oil must be converted into products according to the rate of sale of each. For example, the manufacture of products from the lower boiling portion of petroleum automatically produces a certain amount of higher boiling components. If the latter cannot be sold as, say, heavy fuel oil, they accumulate until refinery storage facilities are full. To prevent the occurrence of such a situation, the refinery must be flexible and able to change operations as needed. This usually means more processes--a cracking process to change an excess of heavy fuel oil into more gasoline with coke as the residual product or a vacuum distillation process to separate the heavy oil into lubricating oil stocks and asphalt--to accommodate the ever-changing demands of the market.In addition, a complete refining installation must include the following: all necessarynon-processing facilities; adequate tankage for storing crude oil, intermediate, and finished products; a dependable source of electrical power, material-handling equipment; workshops and supplies for maintaining a continuous 24 hour/day, 7 day/week operation; waste disposal and water-treating equipment; and product-blending facilities.。

Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce, A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children's emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent's own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.51.

The professor didn't actas an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questionstogether with the students. One linguistic (语言的) feature of his interacting with his students wasthat he used many modal (情态的) verbs--far more than I did in Beiwai. When answeringquestions, he usually said, "This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong." or "You could beright, but you might find this point of view also interesting." In China, authorities are alwayssupposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect theprofessor to give an answer to the question, i still remember how frustrated they were whenforeign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are muchhigher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sureabout it.Education in China is valued for united thinking. I rememberAmerican teachers who taughtin our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the sameidea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student'sability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education inAmerica is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancingcritical thinking.55. In the USA, when the students are in class, __A. a Chinese student tends to be very activeB. an American student likes to make troubleC. a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacherD. an American student tends to be vigorous56. A teacher in the USA prefers to __ when he answers questions.A. be very sincereB. be very directC. be very self-confidentD. be very indifferent57. What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods betweenChina and the USA?A. He thinks that Chinese teaching methods can make students learn more.B. He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students'remembrance.C. He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.D. He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.58. The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is __A. more intimate in ChinaB. closer in ChinaC. looser in USAD. more harmonious in USAQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine, the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minuteslater, at an altitude of 300 miles, this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radiobegins to transmit an astonishing amount of information about the satellite's orbital path, theamount of radiation it detects, and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races backto the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts, much less remember andorganize them. But an electronic computer can. The marvel of the machine age, the electroniccomputer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations--add, subtract, multiplyand divide--with lighting speed and perfect accuracy. Some computers can work 500,000 timesfaster than any person can.Once it is given a "program" -- that is, a carefully worked out set of instructions devised bya technician trained in computer language -- a computer can gather a wide range of information formany purposes. For the scientist it can get information fromouter space or from the depth of theocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories, keeps track of salestrends and production needs, mails dividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keepbank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane, thecomputer will find out what to take and what space is available.Not only can the computer gather facts, it can also store them as fast as they are gathered andcan pour them out whenever they are needed. The computer is really a high powered "memory"machine that "has all the answers"--or almost all. Besides gathering and storing information, thecomputer can also solve complicated problems that once took months for people to do. At timescomputers seem almost human. They can "read" hand printed letters, play chess, compose music,write plays and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called"thinking" machines?Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our ownbrains, computers are not replacing us at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 million cells. Acomputer has only a few hundred thousand parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely saythat our brains are at least 10, 000 times more complex than a computer. How we use them is forus, not the computer, to decide.59. "Program" means __A. a plan of what is to be doneB. a complete show on a TV station at a fixed time tableC. a scheduled performanceD. series of coded instructions to control the operations of a computer60. The computer is a high powered "memory" machine, which __A. has all the ready answers -- or almost all to any questionsB. can remember everythingC. can store everything and work for youD. has all the answers -- or almost to all the information that has been stored61. "Thinking" machines suggest that __A. they can "read" hand printed letters etcB. they really can think and do many other jobsC. they even design other computersD. they can't think, but can do something under human control62. Can computers do whatever they want to do WhyA. Yes, because some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can.B. No, because they normally have a few hundred thousand parts.C. No, because human brains are at least 10000 times more complex thanany computers.D. No, because how a computer works is decided by human.Questions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of hugeindustrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning becauseeverything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the mostdangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a millioninhabitants and discover exactlywhat raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these rawmaterials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. Thisplant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber aswell.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways ofsorting and separating therubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will passthrough sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed;then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids;after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish willpass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will thenbe sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with thegrowing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced tobuild their own recycling plants before long.63. The main purpose of the passage is __A. to show us a future way of recycling wastesB. to tell the importance of recycling wastesC. to warn people the danger of some wastesD. to introduce a new recycling plant64. How many stages are there in the recycling process?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.65. What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A. To deal with wastes in a better way.B. It's a good way to gain profits.C. It's more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D. Energy can be got at a lower price.66. Which of the following statements is true?A. The word "rubbish" will soon disappear from dictionaries.B. Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C. To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D. Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.Section BDirections: You should answer questions 67-75 which are based on thefollowing passages. Markyour answer on the answer sheet.The Motor CarA There are now over 700 million motor vehicles in the world and the numberis rising by more than 40 million each year. The average distance driven by car users is growing too - from 8 km a day per person in western Europe in 1965 to 25 km a day in 1995. This dependence on motor vehicles has given rise to major problems, including environmental pollution, depletion of oil resources, traffic congestion and safety.B While emissions from new cars are far less harmful than they used to be,city streets and motorways are becoming more crowded than ever, often with older trucks, buses and taxis which emit excessive levels of smoke and fumes. This concentration of vehicles makes air quality in urban areas unpleasant and sometimes dangerous to breathe. Even Moscow has joined the list of capitals afflicted by congestion and traffic fumes. In Mexico City, vehicle pollution is a major health hazard.C Until a hundred years ago, most journeys were in the 20 km range, thedistance conveniently accessible by horse. Heavy freight could only be carried by water or rail. The invention of the motor vehicle broughtpersonal mobility to the masses and made rapid freight delivery possible over a much wider area. In the United Kingdom, about 90 per cent of inland freight is carried by road. Clearly theworld cannot revert to the horse-drawn wagon. Can it avoid being locked into congested and polluting ways of transporting people and goods?D In Europe most cities arc still designed for the old modes of transport.Adaptation to the motor car has involved adding ring roads, one-way systems and parking lots. In the United States, more land is assigned to car use than to housing. Urban sprawl means that life without a car is next to impossible. Mass use of motor vehicles has also killed or injured millions of people. Other social effects have been blamed on the car such as alienation and aggressive human behaviour.E A 1993 study by the European Federation for Transport and Environment foundthat car transport is seven times as costly as rail travel in terms of the external social costs it entails such as congestion, accidents, pollution, loss of cropland and natural habitats，depletion of oil resources, and so on. Yet cars easily surpass trains or buses as a flexible and convenient mode of personal transport. It is unrealistic to expect people to give up private cars in favour of mass transit.F Technical solutions can reduce the pollution problem and increase the fuelefficiency of engines. But fuel consumption and exhaust emissions depend on which cars arc preferred by customers and how they are driven. Many people buy larger cars than they need for daily purposes or waste fuel by driving aggressively. Besides, global car use i彡increasing at a faster rate than the improvement in emissions and fuel efficiency which technology is now making possible.G One solution that has been put forward is the long-term solution ofdesigning cities and neighbourhoods so that car journeys are not necessary - all essential services being located within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport. Not only would this save energy and cut carbon dioxide emissions, it would also enhance the quality of community life, putting the emphasis on people instead of cars. Good local government is already bringing this about in some places. But few democratic communities are blessed with the vision - and the capital - to make such profound changes in modem lifestyles.H A more likely scenario seems to be a combination of mass transit systemsfor travel into and around cities, with sm all “low emission” cars for urban use and larger hybrid or lean bum cars for use elsewhere.Electronically tolled highways might be used to ensure that drivers pay charges geared to actual road use. Better integration of transport systems is also highly desirable - and made more feasible by modem computers. But these are solutions for countries which can afford them.In most developing countries, old cars and old technologies continue to predominate.Questions 67-72This passage has eight paragraphs labelled A-H.

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 enough 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, theyare 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 raiseproduction 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 oilmarket, 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. Bymid-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 up with 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 pricesto a acceptable level, but it takes actions very carefully for the consideration of its own benefit.44. What can you infer fromthe passage?a. OPEC is, in the most cases, not reliable.b. all the members of OPEC have the intention to lower oil prices whenthe prices get very high.c. The oil prices are fully controlled by the market and OPEC can donothing with them even though 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 theabilities of man46. The horse originated___________a. in the Middle Eastb. in Europec. on the North Americancontinent d. in Spain47. The primary uses of the horse for early man were ___________a. for foodb. for prestigec. to make moneyd. to work for him48. What can be said about the varieties of horses?a. 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 pressshould 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 thefoundation of the Press Complaints Commission.b. To photograph public figures on public property is legal.。

Cloze TestDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark your answer on the answer sheetShopping habits in the United States have changed greatly in the last quarter of the 20thcentury. 41 in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street wasalways in the heart of a town. This street was lined on both sides with many various businesses.Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. .42 , some shops offered services. These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a changebegan to 43 . Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parkingplaces were 44 shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look withinterest at the open spaces 45 the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customersneeded. And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shoppingcentres, or rather malls, 46 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded citycentres. 47 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from downtownareas to outlying malls. And the growing 48 of shopping centres led in turn to the buildingof bigger and better stocked stores. 49 the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almostdeveloped into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 50 of one stop shopping,malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoorentertainment.41. A. As early as B. Early C. Early as D.

Each passage is followed by 4 questions orunfinished 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 51 to 54 are based on the following passage:It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction, biography, poetry--we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow worker and accomplice (同谋).If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible,then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess (委婉之处), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty two chapters of a novel--if we consider how to read a novel first--are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled asa building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficultiesof words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you--how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the toneof the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.51. What does the author mean by saying "Yet few people ask from books what books can give us"?A. The author means that lots of people read few books.B. The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books.C. The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content some kind ofbooks should include.D. The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books.52. According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?A. A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.B. The more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.C. To read something is easier than to watch something.D. One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.53. What is the possible meaning of "impalpable" (Paragraph 2) in the passage?A. Clear.B. Elusive.C. Delicate.D. Precise.54. What's the main idea of this passage?A. The importance of reading.B. The proper way to read.C. How to get most from one book.D. The characters of a good book.Questions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:It isn't often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A. D. McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation's progress in Canada.It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability--and of the development and the use of the aileron--by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40miles from Hamilton to Toronto--and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.When World War ]I came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions. Following World War 11, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia where he made Canada's first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about McCurdy?A. He was a Canadian.B. He is regarded as the symbol of Canadian aviation and aircraft industry.C. He is the first man to finish a figure eight in the air.D. He now lives in Baddeck.56. The "Silver Dart" isA. the name of a weaponB. a plane bought by McCurdyC. the nickname of a famous Canadian pilotD. a plane designed by McCurdy57. McCurdy is NOT the first one to __A. fly in CanadaB. pilot a flying boatC. fly from Key West to TorontoD. fly to Mexico58. Nowadays, McCurdy __A. lives in Montreal in summerB. is the lieutenant governor of Nova ScotiaC. is still very active and energeticD. is the government's counselorQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950's, resulting in a smaller college age population starting in the middle 1970's. S4 Something else happened in the 1970's: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. ~Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. High unemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service--unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example--than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, becausepeople are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.59. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B. There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970's.C. Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950's.D. High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.60. The phrase "laid off' can best be replaced by which of the following?A. Poor.B. Got rid of.C. Removed.D. Unemployed.61. American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they wereA. smallB. gas consumingC. fuel efficientD. not attractive62. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT __A. Young people couldn't afford their own tuition in the 1970'sB. It's difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970'sC. Fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because of the recession in1970'sD. Birthrate dropped in the 1970's because of the recessionQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (嗅出) something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 "words"--string of alphabetic or numerical characters--ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.63. Which of the following is true about memory?A. It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.B. It is based on the decisions we made in the past.C. It is rooted in our past habits and skills.D. It connects our past experiences with the present.64. According to the passage, memory is helpful in one's life in the following aspects EXCEPT thatA. it involves a change in one's behaviorB. it keeps information for later useC. it warns people not to do things repeatedlyD. it enables one to remember events that happened in the past65. What is the major characteristic of man's memory capacity according to the author?A. It can be expanded by language.B. It can remember all the combined words.C. It may keep all the information in the past.D. It may change what has been stored in it.66. Human beings make themselves different from other animals byA. having the ability to perceive dangerB. having a far greater memory capacityC. having the ability to recognize faces and places on sightD. having the ability to draw on past experiencesSection BDirections: You should answer Questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages. Mark your answer on the answer sheet.Population movements and genetics1.Study of the origins and distribution of human populations used to be based onarchaeological and fossil evidence. A number of techniques developed since the 1950s, however, have placed the study of these subjects on a sounder and more objective footing. The best information on early population movements is now being obtained from the “archaeology of the living body”, the clues to be found in genetic material. 2.Recent work on the problem of when people first entered the Americas is an exampleof the value of these new techniques. North-east Asia and Siberia have long been accepted as the launching ground for the first human colonisers of the New World. But was there one major wave of migration across the Bering Strait into the Americas, or several? And when did this event, or events, take place? In recent years, new clues have come from research into genetics, including the distribution of genetic markers in modem Native Americans.3.An important project, led by the biological anthropologist Robert Williams, focused onthe variants (called Gm allotypes) of one particular protein - immunoglobin G - found in the fluid portion of human blood. All proteins “drift”， or produce variants, over the generations, and members of an interbreeding human population will share a set of such variants. Thus, by comparing the Gm allotypes of two different populations (e.g. two Indian tribes), one can establish their genetic “distance”，which itself can be calibrated to give an indication of the length of time since these populations last interbred.4.Williams and his colleagues sampled the blood of over 5,000 American Indians inwestern North America during a twenty-year period. They found that their Gm allotypes could bedivided into two groups, one of which also corresponded to the genetic typing of Central and South American Indians. Other tests showed that the Inuit (or Eskimo) and Aleut formed a third group. From this evidence it was deduced that there had been three major waves of migration across the Bering Strait. The first, Paleo-Indian, wave more than 15,000 years ago was ancestral to all Central and South American Indians. The second wave, about 14,000 -12,000 years ago, brought Na-Dene hunters, ancestors of the Navajo and Apache (who only migrated south from Canada about 600 or 700 years ago). The third wave, perhaps 10,000 or 9,000 years ago, saw the migration from North-east Asia of groups ancestral to the modem Eskimo and Aleut.5.How far does other research support these conclusions? Geneticist Douglas Wallacehas studied mitochondrial DNA in blood samples from three widely separated NativeAmerican groups: Pima-Papago Indians in Arizona, Maya Indians on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, and Ticuna Indians in the Upper Amazon region of Brazil. As would have been predicted by Robert Williams's work, all three groups appear to be descended from the same ancestral (Paleo-Indian) population.6.There are two other kinds of research that have thrown some light on the origins of theNative American population; they involve the study of teeth and of languages. The biological anthropologist Christy Turner is an expert in the analysis of changing physical characteristics in human teeth. He argues that tooth crowns and roots have a high genetic component, minimally affected by environmental and other factors.Studies carried out by Turner of many thousands of New and Old World specimens, both ancient and modem, suggest that the majority of prehistoric Americans are linked to Northern Asian populations by crown and root traits such as incisor shoveling (a scooping out on one or both surfaces of the tooth), single-rooted upper first premolars and triple-rooted lower first molars. According to Turner, this ties in with the idea of a single Paleo-lndian migration out of North Asia, which he sets at before 14,000 years ago by calibrating rates of dental micro-evolution. Tooth analyses also suggest that there were two later migrations of Na-Denes and Eskimo-Aleut.7.The linguist Joseph Greenberg has, since the 1950s, argued that all Native Americanlanguages belong to a single “Amerind” family, except for Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut - a view that gives credence to the idea of three main migrations. Greenberg is in a minority among fellow linguists, most of whom favour the notion of a great many waves of migration to account for the more than 1,000 languages spoken at one time by American Indians. But there is no doubt that the new genetic and dental evidence provides strong backing for Greenberg’s view. Dates given for the migrations should nevertheless be treated with caution, except where supported by hard archaeological evidence.Questions 67-72This passage has seven sections. 1-7.Choose the correct headings for sections 1-7 from the list of headings below. Mark your answer on the answer sheet.List of HeadingsA.The results of the research into blood-variantsB.Dental evidenceC.Greenberg’s analysis of the dental and linguistic evidenceD.Developments in the methods used to study early population movementsE.

Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family has decreased. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living. On the average, children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents usually take the responsibility for all the expenses. Meanwhile, families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break up of the family occurs when the parents divorce, A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike. Children blame themselves when their parents separate. They grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved back and forth between parents. Usually one parent is responsible for raising the children. These single parents must care for the children's emotional and psychological needs while also supporting them financially. This is very demanding and leaves very little time for the parent's own personal interests. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship. The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs indicate that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining. The rate of childbirth is rising. Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.51. To parents who take the responsibility for children's expenses, the cost of living increasesbecauseA. children attend school for more yearsB. children are better dressedC. children spend more money on entertainmentD. all of the above52. What problems would broken families bring to both children and parents?A. Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents didn't pay much attention to children.B. Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children.C. Children are moved back and forth between parents and the single parent is busy working to make money to support himself/herself.D. Children grow up feeling unsettled, and the parents have little time for his/her owninterests because one parent is too busy taking care of children.53. According to the author, the situations of American families in the future may __A. become worseB. remain the sameC. get betterD. keep unchanged54. The title of the article might be __A. American ChildrenB. American FamiliesC. American MotherD. American ParentsQuestions 55 to 58 are based on the following passage:When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted theprofessor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar (讨论会). The professor didn't act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic (语言的) feature of his interacting with his students wasthat he used many modal (情态的) verbs--far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, "This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong." or "You could beright, but you might find this point of view also interesting." In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question, i still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student's ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.55. In the USA, when the students are in class, __A. a Chinese student tends to be very activeB. an American student likes to make troubleC. a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacherD. an American student tends to be vigorous56. A teacher in the USA prefers to __ when he answers questions.A. be very sincereB. be very directC. be very self-confidentD. be very indifferent57. What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods betweenChina and the USA?A. He thinks that Chinese teaching methods can make students learn more.B. He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students'remembrance.C. He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.D. He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.58. The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is __A. more intimate in ChinaB. closer in ChinaC. looser in USAD. more harmonious in USAQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage:With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine, the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later, at an altitude of 300 miles, this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radiobegins to transmit an astonishing amount of information about the satellite's orbital path, the amount of radiation it detects, and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts, much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can. The marvel of the machine age, the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations--add, subtract, multiply and divide--with lighting speed and perfect accuracy. Some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can.Once it is given a "program" -- that is, a carefully worked out set of instructions devised bya technician trained in computer language -- a computer can gather a wide range of information formany purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depth of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories, keeps track of sales trends and production needs, mails dividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keepbank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane, the computer will find out what to take and what space is available.Not only can the computer gather facts, it can also store them as fast as they are gathered and can pour them out whenever they are needed. The computer is really a high powered "memory" machine that "has all the answers"--or almost all. Besides gathering and storing information, the computer can also solve complicated problems that once took months for people to do. At times computers seem almost human. They can "read" hand printed letters, play chess, compose music, write plays and even design other computers. Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called"thinking" machines?Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our own brains, computers are not replacing us at least not yet. Our brain has more than 10 million cells. Acomputer has only a few hundred thousand parts. For some time to come, then, we can safely say that our brains are at least 10, 000 times more complex than a computer. How we use them is for us, not the computer, to decide.59. "Program" means __A. a plan of what is to be doneB. a complete show on a TV station at a fixed time tableC. a scheduled performanceD. series of coded instructions to control the operations of a computer60. The computer is a high powered "memory" machine, which __A. has all the ready answers -- or almost all to any questionsB. can remember everythingC. can store everything and work for youD. has all the answers -- or almost to all the information that has been stored61. "Thinking" machines suggest that __A. they can "read" hand printed letters etcB. they really can think and do many other jobsC. they even design other computersD. they can't think, but can do something under human control62. Can computers do whatever they want to do? Why?A. Yes, because some computers can work 500,000 times faster than any person can.B. No, because they normally have a few hundred thousand parts.C. No, because human brains are at least 10000 times more complex than any computers.D. No, because how a computer works is decided by human.Questions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage:Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning becauseeverything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber aswell.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed;then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with thegrowing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced tobuild their own recycling plants before long.63. The main purpose of the passage is __A. to show us a future way of recycling wastesB. to tell the importance of recycling wastesC. to warn people the danger of some wastesD. to introduce a new recycling plant64. How many stages are there in the recycling process?A. 3.B. 4.C. 5.D. 6.65. What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A. To deal with wastes in a better way.B. It's a good way to gain profits.C. It's more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D. Energy can be got at a lower price.66. Which of the following statements is true?A. The word "rubbish" will soon disappear from dictionaries.B. Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C. To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D. Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.Section BDirections: You should answer questions 67-75 which are based on the following passages.Markyour answer on the answer sheet.The Motor CarA There are now over 700 million motor vehicles in the world • and the number is rising by morethan 40 million each year. The average distance driven by car users is growing too - from 8 km a day per person in western Europe in 1965 to 25 km a day in 1995. This dependence onmotor vehicles has given rise to major problems, including environmental pollution, depletion of oil resources, traffic congestion and safety.B While emissions from new cars are far less harmful than they used to be, city streets andmotorways are becoming more crowded than ever, often with older trucks, buses and taxis which emit excessive levels of smoke and fumes. This concentration of vehicles makes air quality in urban areas unpleasant and sometimes dangerous to breathe. Even Moscow has joined the list of capitals afflicted by congestion and traffic fumes. In Mexico City, vehicle pollution is a major health hazard.C Until a hundred years ago, most journeys were in the 20 km range, the distance convenientlyaccessible by horse. Heavy freight could only be carried by water or rail. The invention of the motor vehicle brought personal mobility to the masses and made rapid freight delivery possible over a much wider area. In the United Kingdom, about 90 per cent of inland freight is carried by road. Clearly the world cannot revert to the horse-drawn wagon. Can it avoid being locked into congested and polluting ways of transporting people and goods?D In Europe most cities arc still designed for the old modes of transport. Adaptation to the motorcar has involved adding ring roads, one-way systems and parking lots. In the United States, more land is assigned to car use than to housing. Urban sprawl means that life without a car is next to impossible. Mass use of motor vehicles has also killed or injured millions of people.Other social effects have been blamed on the car such as alienation and aggressive human behaviour.E A 1993 study by the European Federation for Transport and Environment found that cartransport is seven times as costly as rail travel in terms of the external social costs it entails such as congestion, accidents, pollution, loss of cropland and natural habitats，depletion of oil resources, and so on. Yet cars easily surpass trains or buses as a flexible and convenient mode of personal transport. It is unrealistic to expect people to give up private cars in favour of mass transit.F Technical solutions can reduce the pollution problem and increase the fuel efficiency of engines.But fuel consumption and exhaust emissions depend on which cars arc preferred by customers and how they are driven. Many people buy larger cars than they need for daily purposes or waste fuel by driving aggressively. Besides, global car use i彡 increasing ata faster rate than the improvement in emissions and fuel efficiency which technology isnow making possible.G One solution that has been put forward is the long-term solution of designing cities andneighbourhoods so that car journeys are not necessary - all essential services being located within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport. Not only would this save energy and cut carbon dioxide emissions, it would also enhance the quality of community life, putting the emphasis on people instead of cars. Good local government is already实用文档标准bringing this about in some places. But few democratic communities are blessed with the vision - and the capital - to make such profound changes in modem lifestyles.H A more likely scenario seems to be a combination of mass transit systems for travel into andaround cities, with small “low emission” cars for urban use and larger hybrid or lean bum cars for use elsewhere. Electronically tolled highways might be used to ensure that drivers pay charges geared to actual road use. Better integration of transport systems is also highly desirable - and made more feasible by modem computers. But these are solutions for countries which can afford them. In most developing countries, old cars and old technologies continue to predominate.Questions 67-72This passage has eight paragraphs labelled A-H.
