If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者). a leader. an acive person who enjoys life. people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者) . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us. among other facts. that we do not choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes mostpeople feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River. Near London. used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better. harder. and have fewcr accidents when their machines arc painted orange rather than black or grey.36. The sentence "You would rather follow than lead" in paragraph l means that you would .A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. blue to yellowD. red to grey38. Which of the following statements is true?A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.D. More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.39. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of itsA. shapeB. colourC. structureD. materials40. The main idea of the passage is that_ .A. colours affect people's moodB. colours affect people's characterC. bright colours make people more activeD. colours preference shows people's couragePassage 2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need . while working outdoors with nature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not a buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. JamieOliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets. hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.41 . Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between "A. the poor and the richB. farmers and city developersC. young people and their parentsD. small markets and supermarkets42. In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins. makes fewer people work on farms.A. rich life of farmersB. a low rate of suicideC. hard life on the farmsD. high prices of farm products43. According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers' land because farming cannot offer .A. a hard worldB. a vital human needC. a nice and straightforward lifeD. enough money and honourable life44. "Buy British" campaigns____A. bring benefit to farmersB. stopped meat exportC. closed thousands of farmsD. ask children to eat British foods45. According to the passage, Farmers ' Markets are becoming popular because .A. thousands of farms are closedB. farmers are the owners of the marketsC. more people are concerned about healthy foodD. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaigns urge people to "Buy BritisW'Passage 3No one knows exactly how many disabled people (残疾人) there arc in the word. but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom. about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something hat happens to other people: as we get older. many of us will become less mobile. hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on. the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through. so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability. not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph tells us that .A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC. there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD. the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47. The key word in paragraph 4 is _A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK_B. There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C. Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49. The clause "which counts " in the last paragraph means that _ .A. ability is the most importantB. disability is consideredC. disability is includedD. barrier is the most important50. It can be concluded from the passage that _A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD. the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage 4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers. examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲) . so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore. teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的) examiners. They certainly make mistakes. because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51. The main idea of this passage is that examinations are .A. anxiety-makersB. harmful to educationC. reliable and efficientD. good measures of memory52. It is clear that the author examinations.A. argues forB. argues againstC. is interested inD. is indifferent to53. The fate of students is decided by _ according to the passage.A. examinationB. educationC. teachingD. learning54. According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to .A. encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC. train students to think on their ownD. encourage students to seek more knowledge55. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Examinations can make students anxious.B. The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C. Teachers ' work is .judged based on the results of examinations.D. Tools better than examinations to test students' ability have been found.Part III Cloze (10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the 56 0n the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 57 in good health. or a report about 58 to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely t0 59 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 60 the title. Therefore. I should prepare 61 I start to cut. Or it will be halfway done when I find out the 62 result.63 two things are to be done at the same time. You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be 64 _ But you know the future is unpredictable----the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 65 . Thus you are caught in a 66 position and feel sad. How should the nice chances and brilliant ideas gather around all at once? What are you going to do when you 67 two things at the same time? It may happen that you life 68 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.In fact that is what 69 is like. We are often . 70 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable 71 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 72 we get into another. The 73 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a dividcd mind. A famous philosopher 74 said "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual choice may not be a 75 0ne.56.A. newspaper B. article C. text D. title57.A. get B. bring C. lead D. keep58.A. how B. when C. why D. what59.A. do B. reduce C. prevent D. cause60.A. on B. in C. off D. for61.A. because B. since C. after D. before62.A. satisfying B. regretful C. pleasant D. impossible63.A.

Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installment. In the U. S. , the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.The price of an article bought on installment is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment (首期付款) when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and each of the following installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan? A.A lot of British families use the installment plan. B.More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.C.Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D.Americans spend more than one tenth of their incomes on, installment buying.2.Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash becauseA.the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB.the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC.the buyer has to pay a down paymentD.the service offered by installment plan is much better3.What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installment?A.He might lose his job.B.He will not own the item he has bought.C.He will have to sell what he has bought.D.He will go into debt.4.The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _____.A.purchasing power is strengthenedB.employment might be increasedC.people develop a good habit of saving moneyD.young couples are able to furnish their homes5.In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to______ .A.increase employmentB.increase peoples incomeC.ensure that businesses make good profitsD.ensure that people can pay for what they buy7.Publicity (宣扬,报道) offers several benefits. There are no costs for message time or space. An ad in prime time television may cost $250, 000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. However, there are costs for news releases (发布) , a publicity department, and other items. As with advertising, publicity reaches a mass audience. Within a short time, new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility (可信度) about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than ads. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they flipthrough (草草翻阅) the ads. Furthermore, there may be hundreds of ads in a magazine. Feature stories (专题报道) are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, placement (报道顺序) , or coverage. It may issue detailed news releases and find only small portions of them reported by the media; and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like. A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media ascertain (确定) whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.A company-sponsored (赞助) job program might go unreported or receive three-sentence coverage in a local newspaper.The author mentions all of the following advantages of publicity EXCEPT______.A.having no time costsB.having attentivenessC.having high credibilityD.having no space costs8.People are more likely to believe in news reports than ads because ______; .A.they reach a larger audience than ads doB.they are all latest eventsC.they appear in independent mediaD.they are much more in number and stand out clearly9.Which of the following is NOT a limitation of publicity? A.Bad timing.B.Very detailed reporting.C.Placement after a report on crime.D.Being reported much less than. expected.10.One of the reasons why feature stories seem more reliable than ads is that______.A.they are more believableB.they are more objectiveC.they are more interestingD.they are much fewer in number and stand out clearly11.The last sentence in the last paragraph implies that______. A.the placement of a story is not quite important B.the report of a crime may not be trueC.local newspapers may not be interested in company-sponsored programsD.publicity is always successful13.The idea behind the rule of law is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. We live under a rule of law, not of men. American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that no man is above the law, and that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their stations in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behavior. in connection with what was called Watergate Scandal (水门事件). Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with government institutions, forexample, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.This is not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed. They may, what is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behavior. that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that it does.The word stations (Line 5 , Para 1) is closest in meaning to______.A.stagesB.situationsC.successesD.social positions14.The writer mentions President Richard Nixon in the first paragraph in order to show thatA.no man is above the lawB.the president should make sure of the rule of lawC.the rule of law is important in politicsD.American people have the right to remove the president15.It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law______.A.is not carried out as fully as it should be B.makes poor people also likely to be successfulC.is, in reality, almost impossible to realizeD.makes sure that everyone is punished for his wrong doing 16.The pronoun They in the second line of the last paragraph refers to all of the following EXCEPT______.A.personal connectionsB.laws and rulesC.social influenceD.wealth17.The main idea of the last paragraph is______.A.Americans are idealistic (理想主义的) about laws B.rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behavior C.the American employment system is unfairD.laws are more important than personal connections or influence in most cases in the US19.Human cloning (克隆) technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages (百分比) , are not very successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before. We should be able to clone the bone marrow (骨髓) for children and adults suffering from leukemia (白血病). It is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer. Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above arejust a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind.This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by______.A.removing the damaged part of the heartB.replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC.repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy ones D.giving the patients injections of various medicines20.The word infertile ( Line 1, Para, 2) most probably means ______.A.unable to give birth to childB.having physical and emotional problemsC.short of time and moneyD.separated from each other for long21.Paragraph Two implies that in treating infertility, ______. A.the percentage of successful treatments is very high when present methods are usedB.the present treatment is very cheapC.the cloning technology costs less time and money in treating infertilityD.the cloning technology is more suitable for treating infertility than leukemia22.The following are all examples of the benefits from the cloning technology EXCEPTA.treating heart attack victimsB.releasing peoples fearsC.treatment for infertilityD.curing cancer23.According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that______.A.it may be out of human controlB.it has brought about few benefits so farC.people still know little about itD.people are afraid of such technology三、3.Cloze1.We got up early this morning and【56】a long walk after breakfast.

But today, children are spending more time in kindergartens working out math problems and memorizingwords.In short kindergartens are becoming more like schools.In my mind, exactly the opposite is needed.Instead of making kindergartens like schools we need to make schools more like kindergartens.As I see it,the kindergarten approach to learning is ideally suited to the core need of the 21century-the ability to think creatively. Unfortunately, most schools are out of step with today’s need: they are not designed to help students develop as creative thinkers. But kindergartens, at least those remain true to the kindergarten tradition do things differently.What do I mean by the kindergarten approach to learning? In traditional kindergartens, children are constantly designing,creating.experimenting, and exploring. Two children are building towers with wooden blocks. A classmate sees the towers and starts pushing his toy car between them But the towers are too close together, so the children start moving the towers further apart to make room for the car. In the process one ofthe towers falls down. After a brief argument over who is at fault,they start talking about how to build a taller and stronger tower. Seeing this, the teacher shows them pictures of real world-tall buildings and the children notice that the bottoms of the buildings are wider than the tops. So they decide to rebuild their block tower with a A. offers people a chance to read in nature B. attracts a large number of readersC. has support from the local governmentD. covers a large area of forest 10. Where is this passage most likely from?A. A diary C. A newspaperB. A handbook D. A novelwider base than before. This type of process is repeated over and over in kindergarten. The materials vary and the creations vary,but the core process is the same.In going through this process, kindergarten children develop and improve their abilities as creative thinkers. They learn to develop their own ideas, try them out test the boundaries, experiment with alternatives, get input from others-and perhaps most significantly, generate new ideas based on their experiences. The kindergarten approach to learning is well-matched to the core need of the current society, and should be extended to learners of all ages. alternatives, get input from others-and perhaps most significantly, generate new ideas based on their experiences. The kindergarten approach to learning is well-matched to the core need of the current society, and should be extended to learners of all ages.11.Accordingto paragraph1,modern-day kindergartens spent more time_.A. encouraging children express themselvesB. engaging children in creative activitiesC. teaching children school knowledgeD. telling children to share with others12.What does the underline sentence in paragraph2imply?A.More high quality kindergartens are neededB.The kindergarten approach is more innovativeC.Schools should adopt the kindergarten approachD.Schools should set an example for kindergartens13.The kindergarten approach helps children to_.A. think creativelyB. build towers quicklyC. handle arguments properlyD. memorize words efficiently14.The teacher shows the picture of tall buildings to_.A. help the children to develop better cooperationB. provide materials for building block towersC. prevent the block tower from falling downD. inspire the children to observe and explore15.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To help kindergartens to build schoolB. To promote the kindergarten approachC. To advise school to invest in kindergartensD.To start the reform of traditional kindergartens5:210When you type the phrase“ information overload ” into a search engine, you will immediately get an information overload more than 7 million hits in 0.05 seconds. 16 For example, you learn that phrase“information overload ”was first used in 1970, before the Internet was invented.But much of the information is irrelevant or useless 17.18 Every day, there are news and sports websites to watch, emails that need to be answered and people who want to chat with you online. Back in the real world, friends, family, and colleagues also have things to tell you 19 . A recent survey has shown that many employees believe that it has made their jobs less satisfying and has even affected their personal relationships outside work._20 Dealing with the overloaded information, they sit in front of their computers for hours before they know it.

1998年广东省普通高等学校本科插班生考试英语试题Part I Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage IThe computer is a wonderful machine.It is the most important invention since the type of engine used in cars.Today it has the greatest effect on science,industry,and business,but it is being used more in education and medicine.By the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone,even people in distant villages.It is a revolutionary invention.The oldest kind of computer is the abacus used in China since the sixth century.In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented,but the furst large,modern computer was built in 1937.A few years later a computer could do 5000 additions per second.Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds(毫微秒).Today most computers have a memory.They are getting smaller and smaller,and computing faster and faster.Even in a large computer,the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work.When someone buys something in a department store,information about the sale goes into a computer,A scientist can talk to the computer about the rocks,and the computer answers the questions.A doctor can talk to the computer and explain what is wrong with a patient.If the doctor asks why,the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why.When early humans began farming,it was a revolutionary change in human life.It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system(方法).In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do .This could be a frightening development.1.The computer is considered a wonderful machine because_____.A.it has effect on all aspects of man’s lifeB.it is widely used in education and medicineC.it has the function of an engineD.it is useful even in distant villages2.The abacus has been used in China for_____.A.some 5,000 yearsB.about 600 yearsC.nearly 1,000 yearsD.over 1,300 years3.The most important feature of a computer is that_____.A.it has a memoryB.it is small in sizeC.it computes fastD.it answers all kinds of

countriesC.people all over the worldD.people in the Western worldPassage 2In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for the family.Most men worked in an office,a factory,or some other place away from the home.Since the man earned the money,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house,and other family needs.The man made most of the decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage,the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals,cleaned house,washed the clothes,and did other household work.Her job at home was every important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind.The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and female roles now.One is that both men and women have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home.Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children,or they may not.If they have children,the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children.Or she may want to go to work.Men and Women now decide these things together in a marriage.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.6.Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at a job to earn money for family.B.The woman made most of decisions.C.The woman stayed at home to care

traditional marriage.B.The woman’s job at home was very important in the past.C.Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to get married.Passage 3Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobiles parts?That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s?It all happens because of recycling(再利用).The simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource”that,with recycling,can be used to produce a variety of new products.Unfortunately,America recycles only 10% of its rubbish,burns 10% and deposits 80% in waste desposal grounds,As a result,it is having to cope with a serious solid waste problem.Every year,Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish.Of that total,plastics make up less than 8%,paper about 36%,and glass and metal about 20%,all by weight.Plastics are naturally lighter,but still,when pressed together,accout for only about 20% by volume.As a result,in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18,500 to 6,000.In five years 2,000 more will close.In the process of finding solutions,some people have proposed to stop using plastics.Unfortunately,stop using plastics would do much harm and no good.We would lose all of the safety,health and convenience features of plastics.Besides,packaging would still be needed.A 1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used--the energy needed to produce other packaging,its cost,and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.Today,recycling is on the rise.There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U.S.Many are beginning to recycle plastics.Right now,almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys,traffic signs,waste baskets,floor materials,and park benches.Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle.More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.11.What can’t the plastic soft drink bottles be turned into?A.Newspapers.B.Automobile parts.C.Toys.D.Traffic signs.212.Of all the rubbish in the U.S.,plastics account for_____by weight and_____by volume.A.20%; 20%B. 8%; 20%C.36%; 8%D.20%; 36%13.On average,waste plastics are_____other wastes.A.as heavy in density asB.heavier in density thanC.lighter in density thanD.the same by weight as14.In 5 years,the U.S.will have only_____waste disposal grounds.A.2,000B.6,000C.4,000D.18,50015.The author of this passage_____the proposal of stopping using plastices.A.says nothing aboutB.is sympathetic withC.agrees toD.disagrees toPassage 4There are two kinds of memory:short-term and rmation in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed.The information may be kept for days or weeks.However,information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds,usually by repeating the information over and over.The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary.The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,advanced,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English.Following the recording,the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered.Each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording.Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whethet,wither,and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.16.Henning made the experiment in order to study_____.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students' ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept17.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.3D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.18.From Henning’s results we can see that_____.A.beginners have difficulty in distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is defficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning19.The word “subject” in the passage means_____.A.the college course the students takeB.the theme of the listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the student
