Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneOf all the foods we k now, fruit is one of the m ost healthful. It is also one of the m ost tasty foods. Al m ost e v eryone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in al m ost e v ery part of the world. There are hundreds of different k inds of fruits. And there are thousands of different v arieties. In the United States alone, there are se v eral hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are m ost i m portant. In this group, we ha v e bananas and pineapples. They are shipped fro m tropical countries and are eaten all o v er the world.Next co m e the subtropical fruits. The m ost i m portant of these are the citrus (柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges, tangerines (柑橘), li m es (酸橙), and grapefruit are fa v orites. Other fruits in this class are fi gs, dates, and oli v es.The last group co m es fro m the te m perate z one. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plu m s. Many k inds of berries fi t this group, too. Fruits are v ery i m portant to the hu m an diet. Besides being tasty, they pro v ide i m portant acids, salts, and v ita m ins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the m ore fruit people eat, the healthier they beco m e.31. Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most _______.A. colorfulB. healthfulC. deliciousD. Both B and C32. Pineapples are grown in _______ climate.A. cold and dryB. hot and humidC. snowy and wetD. mild and dry33. Among the following, _______ belong to citrus fruits.A. tangerinesB. pineapplesC. grapesD. apples34. Strawberries probably belong to _______.A. tropical fruitsB. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruitsD. None of the above35. Fruits are popular because they are easy to _______.A. plantB. digestC. serveD. tastePassage TwoMost people who bother with the m atter at all would ad m it that the E nglish language is in a bad way, but it is generally assu m ed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our ci v ili z ation is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argu m ent runs —m ust ine v itably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a senti m ental archais m (拟古), li k e preferring candles to electric light or handso m e cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instru m ent which we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language m ust ulti m ately ha v e political and econo m ical causes: it is not due to the bad influence of this or that indi v idual writer. But an effect can beco m e a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the sa m e effect in an intensi fi ed for m, and so on inde fi nitely.A m an m ay ta k e to drin k because he feels hi m self to be a failure, and then fail all the m ore co m pletely because he drin k s. It is rather the sa m e thing that is happening to the E nglish language. It beco m es ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slo v enliness of our language m a k es it easier for us to ha v e foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is re v ersible. Modern E nglish, especially written E nglish, is full of bad habits which spread by i m itation and which can be a v oided if one is willing to ta k ethe necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can thin k m ore clearly, and to thin k clearly is a necessary fi rst step towards political re v i v al: so that the fi ght against bad E nglish is not foolish and is not the exclusi v e concern of professional writers.36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English language because _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their bad habits37. The word “slovenliness” in the second paragraph most probably means _______.A. slow developmentB. careless useC. widespreadD. original influence38. The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything about the problemB. the decline in the language can be stoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stage towards the political revival of the language would be _______.A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against bad EnglishB. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolishPassage ThreeReading is not the only way to acquire k nowledge of preceding wor k. There is another large reser v oir which m ay be called experience, and the college student will fi nd that e v ery crafts m an has so m ething he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not loo k down upon the m with ill concealed disdain. The infor m ation fro m these quarters differs fro m that in textboo k s and papers chie fl y in that its theoretical part ― the explanations of why things happen ― is frequently quite fantastic. But the de m onstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound e v en if the reports are in co m pletely unscienti fi c ter m s. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One i m portant thing for a college student to re m e m ber is that if Aristotle could tal k to the fi sher m an, so can he.Another source of k nowledge is the v ast store of traditional practices handed down fro m father to son, or m other to daughter, of old country custo m s, of fol k lore. All this is v ery dif fi cult for a college student to explore, for m uch k nowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants fro m wild weeds. The college student should learn to reali z e and re m e m ber how m uch of real v alue science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific disco v eries turned out to be redisco v eries of what had existed in this wilderness long ago.41. The phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” in paragraph 2 refers to _______ .A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices42. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild weeds.B. Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous college students will receive no instructions from craftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student.43. From this passage we can infer that _______ .A. we’ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only access to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries are based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge44. The author advises the college student to _______ .A. be ill concealed toward the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman’s experience with a critical eyeD. obtain the craftsman’s experience without rejection45. The main idea of this passage is about _______ .A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to acquire knowledgeC. why to learn from the craftsmanD. how to deal with experiencePassage FourThe proble m of what to do with ato m ic waste, the har m ful unwanted products of ato m ic energy, is being studied by m any scienti fi c m inds.Large ato m ic reactors produce har m ful radioacti v e ele m ents at the sa m e ti m e that they produce energy. The ato m ic waste is so powerful that it will be a danger for centuries. What can be done with it? Where can it be placed so that it will not har m hu m an beings?No one now has the fi nal answer, but hundreds of scientists are searching for it.What would you do with radioacti v e ato m ic waste? Mix it with water and pour it in the ocean? You would not do that if you li v ed near the water. A box the si z e of a pac k age of cigarettes would hold the radioacti v e waste produced by an ato m ic reactor in fiv e m inutes. If you poured it into a body of water m ore than one hundred m iles long and about fifteen m iles wide, this s m all a m ount of ato m ic waste could be disco v ered by a Geiger counter anywhere within its harbors and bays in less than twenty-four hours. This shows the great si z e of the proble m of what to do with ato m ic waste.Ato m ic waste cannot be burned, boiled away, or m ade har m less by m ixing it with other m inerals. We are not wor k ing with a substance that can be destroyed. We are trying to destroy energy, and that is i m possible. The only thing we can do is to k eep the waste in a place where it will be har m less.Throwing it into the ocean is one m ethod that has been tried. Ato m ic waste is placed in m etal barrels that are then put in containers as thic k and strong as stone. The cases are ta k en to the deepest part of the ocean and thrown in. For se v eral reasons, howe v er, throwing the ato m ic waste into the ocean is not a fi nal answer to the proble m.First, the cost of preparing the double containers and ta k ing the m to sea is v ery great. Second, it is not k nown how long these strong cases can endure the deep ocean currents. How long will it be before the m etal and stone cases are bro k en open by the force of the water? How great a danger will the ato m ic waste be when it escapes into the deep ocean.46. Which of the following describes the author’s purpose in writing the above passage?A. To explain and inform.B. To question and criticize.C. To amuse and entertain.D. None of the above.47. Those are the reasons why the atomic waste is so difficult to deal with except _______.A. it can not be burned or boiled awayB. it can be neutralized with other elementsC. its radioactive elements will do harm to environmentD. it is too powerful and its energy can not be destroyed48. From paragraph 4 we know _______.A. people find a good way to deal with atomic wasteB. radioactive elements can melt in waterC. atomic waste can travel very slow in waterD. even small amount of atomic waste has great polluting power49. It can be inferred from the passage _______.A. atomic waste is a great treasure to human beingsB. there is no other place where people can throw atomic wasteC. it is easy to throw atomic waste into waterD. at present the most practical way to deal with atomic waste is to throw it into the ocean50. What do you think the author would talk about after the passage?A. Where we can find radioactive mineral.B. Places where people can throw atomic waste.C. The use of atomic energy.D. The danger of the atomic waste under the sea.Part III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
