2012年同等学力英语考前复习资料（三）专题三Reading ComprehensionSection APassage OneJustin was always prepared. His motto was “Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.” His bedroom was so full of flat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.“When use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?” his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his mott o,“Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy.”When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of it as a smaller version of his bedroom-a place to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant, but when used with a little imagination, might come in handy.Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought friend Kenny, came looking for Justin.“Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination? ” he asked. “I lost the sc rap of paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and if I‟m late on the first day it‟ll make me look bad for the rest of the year. ” Kenny looked genuinely worried.“Relax,” Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. “Re member how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down ? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote.”He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint indentations (印凹痕) on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.“That‟s amazing!” Kenny said.“I owe you one.” And he dashed off to open his locker.1. Why is Justin‟s room such a mess?A. He always forgets to clean it.B. He never throws anything away.C. He has no time to clean it.D. He shares a room with Kenny.2.

Kenny had left indentations of the combination on Justin‟s notebook.D. Justin found the scrap of paper the locker combination was written on.6. The author‟s purpose in writing this story is to .A. informB. entertainC. educateD. satirePassage T woOnly moments after announcing a policy of zero tolerance on cellphone use in the classroom, Ali Nazemi heard a ring. Nazemi, a business professor at Roanoke College in Virginia, took out a hammer and walked towards a young man. He smashed the offending device. Students‟ faces turned white all over the classroom.This episode reflects a growing challenge for American college teachers in, as the New Y ork Times puts it, a “New Class(room) War: Teacher vs. Technology”. Fortunately, the smashed-phone incident had been planned ahead of time to demo nstrate teachers‟ anger at inattentive students distracted by high-tech gadgets.At age 55, Nazemi stands on the far shore of a new sort of generational divide between teacher and student. The divide separates those who want to use technology to grow smarter from those who want to use it to get dumber. Perhaps there‟s a nicer way to put it. “The baby boomers seem to see technology as information and communication,” said Michael Bugeja, the author of Interpersonal Divide: the Search for Community in a Te chnological Age. “Their children seem to see the same devices as entertainment and socializing.”All the advances schools and colleges have made to supposedly enhance learning have instead enabled distraction.Bugeja‟s online survey of several hund red students found that a majority had used their cell phones, sent or read e-mail, and logged onto social-network sites during class time. A quarter of the respondents admitted they were taking the survey while sitting in a different class.The Canadian company Smart Technologies makes and sells a program called SynchronEyes. It allows a classroom teacher to monitor every student‟s computer activity and to freeze it at a click. Last year, the company sold more than 10,000 licenses. The biggest problem, said Nancy Knowlton, the company‟s chief executive officer, is staying ahead of students trying to crack the program‟s code.“There‟s an active discussion on the Web, and we‟re monitoring it.” Knowlton said. “They keep us on our toes.”7. Prof.Nazemi smas hed the student‟s cellphone with a hammer because .A. students in his class didn‟t listen to his announcementB. he hated mew gadgets such as cellphonesC. he no longer tolerated cellphone use in the classroomD. he wanted to show how distractive the cellphone was8. According to the passage high-tech gadgets can make youngsters .A. more intelligentB. more stupidC. study more easilyD. get more information9. “The baby boomers” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to.A. the generation of people like Ali NazemiB. the generation of people like Ali Nazemi‟s studentsC. the very young babiesD. the people who were born in the 1980s10. All the following statements are true EXCEPT .A. schools have used advanced devices to enhance student‟s learningB. many students use their cellphones during class timeC. young people see the interpersonal devices as toysD. schools‟ advanced facilities are effectively used by students11. The biggest problem for the Canadian company Smart Technologies is .A. students may soon decode their program Synchron EyesB. where they have the right to allow teachers to monitor studentsC. they must sell the program without the student‟s knowing of itD. they have to discuss whether the Synchron Eyes is useful on the Web12. The best title of this passage is .A. Different Opinions Between Teachers and StudentsB. Classroom Chaos over Gadget UseC. The Development of Classroom WarsD. Keep Us on Our ToesSection BPassage OneHand in hand with the one you love, you gaze at the horizon to watch the earth rise.It sounds like science fiction, but companies around the world are working hard to make this sort of holiday a reality. The idea of space tourism has been around for nearly forty years now. At first NASA made plans for the ultimate in holiday destinations, but then private companies companies became involved in the mid-1980s. The Challenger shuttle disaster of 1986 postponed their plans, but now space is back as a future holiday resort.The Hilton hotel group has produced ambitious and serious plans for hotels on the moon, as well as orbiting hotels, hoping to give their space tourists‟ different holiday experience. But zero-gravity will be a little uncomfortabl e. “There will be space motion sickness in the first few days, with h eadaches and nausea.” says George Turner, a hopeful space tour operator.Hotels will try to prevent these problems by providing areas with the sensation of gravity. This means going to parts of the hotel that will be spinning. Centrifugal(离心的) force will push you against the wall, and gave the feeling of some weight. Since it will be possible to lie down, many people will probably prefer to sleep in these areas. The alternative will be to strap themselves into a sleeping bag attached to a wall.Sunbathing will be possible, but will require some very strong sunscreen protection factor.1,000 will do it.However the plans all depend on one thing: cheap space travel. At the moment the only re-usable rocker is NASA‟s space shuttle. The cost of each shuttle launch is U.S.﹩1 billion. A space craft that only costs U.S.﹩2 million per launch is what the travel industry is looking for. So far that remains a far-off dream, but it may come a lot closer if someone wins the X-Prize.Launched in 1977, the X-Prize offers U.S.﹩10 million to anyone who can build a re-usable space craft. All you have to do is launch three people 100km into space twice within three weeks. So far 16 companies are racing to win the prize money. But the real prize will be the income from space tourism, estimated to be U.S.﹩12 billion per year: as Turner explains:“Just think what you‟ll be able to tell your friends that you had a holiday that was really of this world!”1. The idea of spending holidays in space .A. as first proposed by NASA in the mid-1980sB. had been questioned by NASA for nearly 40 yearsC. became appealing to private companies in the mid-1980sD. drew the attention of private companies four decades ago2. According to Hilton, in their hotels on the moon .A. zero gravity will not be a problem to touristsB. motion sickness is still unavoidable for touristsC. adjustment to space life will be easier with training for touristsD. excitement may help tourists overcome their physical discomfort3. The spinning areas in space hotels will help tourists .A. take the sun bathB. sleep lying downC. fix their sleeping bagsD. enjoy the space walk4. What can we learn about the X-Prize?A. Its aim is to cut the cost of per space craft launch to U.S.﹩2 million.B. The winner has managed to put people into space twice in 3 weeks.C. It‟s offered by NASA to build a new type of reusable space craft.D. Many companies are competing to win the U.S. ﹩10 million prize.5. What is the attitude of Turner towards the future of space tourism?A. ConfidentB. CautiousC. SuspiciousD. Uninterested6. The passage is focused on .A. why it is possible to make space tourism a realityB. what should be done to prepare for space tourismC. the plans for space tourism and the existing problemsD. the opportunities and challenges posed by space tourismPassage T woDefending the French language from the creeping invasion of English has long been a favorite pastime of France‟s elite. In 2006 Jacques Chirac walked out of a Brussels summit in protest at a Frenchman speaking in English. It is a point of national pride to protect French music, film, even advertising, from the corrupting influence of English. So why are the French giving up the struggle？As French children filed back to school on September 2nd, Xavier Darcos, the educationminister, announced that he was increasing English-language teaching in the curriculum. “I‟ve had enough of hearing that the French do not learn English,” he said. “It‟s a big disadvantage for international competition.” By the end of compulsory schooling, he promised, all pupils should be bilingual.The French are embracing English in less high-minded ways too. When they entered a song in English at this year‟s Eurovision song contest, it provoked ironic amusement abroad, but indifference at home. In fact for many young French musicians singing in English is now even de rigueur. “The children of globalization are giving up writing n French,” declared Le Monde, the bible of the French elite-without apparent regret.Despite rules requiring advertising slogans in English to be sub-titled, French manufacturers still borrow English words. France‟s fashion press is another cross dresser. Writing of “V ive la fashion attitude”. In a post-modern twist, teenagers are importing American slang via the heavily north African suburbs, where hip-hop flourishes and street dress is styled on New Y ork city.Once this might have had official France speaking with indignation. The rules designed to fend off English remain-and are an obstacle to new musicians who do not qualify for the quota of radio time reserved for singers in French. Y et in the globalized, internet age, the French seem to realize, as Mr Darcos put it, that the losers from a refusal to learn English are themselves-and that speaking it need not make them less French. Part of this is down to Mr Chirac‟s successor, Nicolas Sarkozy, who. Although no linguist, the new album by wife Carla Bruni, has a track in English-presumably not his predecessor will listen to.7. According to the education minister Xavier Darcos, .A. French pupils will benefit from more English learningB. it is necessary to protect the French language in schoolsC. compulsory English lessons may not be as good as expectedD. globalization has put the French language at an advantage8. What does the phrase “de rigueur” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ProblematicB. UnsuccessfulC. TolerableD. Proper9. It can be learned that le Monde .A. strongly supports the use of EnglishB. is worrying about the rapid spread of EnglishC. feels sorry that the French prefer English over FrenchD. considers it acceptable for the French to use more English10. Which of the following fields is NOT mentioned to demonstrate the rising English influence？A. MusicB. CommerceC. AdvertisingD. Fashion11. Compared with Mr.Chirac, President Sarkozy Frenchman‟s using English.A. is more critical ofB. cares too much aboutC. gives more supportsD. gains more profits from12. The best title for the passage is “ ”.A. The never-ending battle to defend the French languageB. Predominance of the English language in modern FranceC. The French hostility to the English language is relaxedD. Tension emerged between the French and English languagesSection CPassage OneAmericans are more socially isolated than they were 20 years ago, separated by work, commuting and the single life, researchers reported on Friday.Nearly a quarter of people surveyed said they had “zero” close friends wit h whom to discuss personal matters. More than 50 percent named two or fewer confidants, the researchers said.“This is a big social change, and it indicates something that‟s not good for our society,” said Duke University Professor Lynn Smith-Lovin. Smith-Lovin‟s group used data from a national survey of 1,500 American adults that has been ongoing since 1972.She said it indicated people had a surprising drop in the number of close friends since 1985. At that time, Americans most commonly said they had three close friends whom they had known for a long time, saw often, and with whom they shared a number of interests. They were almost as likely to name four or five friends, and the relationships often sprang from their neighborhoods or communities.Ties to a close network of friends create a social safety net that is good for society. Research has also linked social support and civic participation to a longer life, Smith-Lovin said.The data also show the social isolation trend mirrors other class divides: Nonwhites and people with less education tend to have smaller social networks than white Americans and the highly educated. That means that in daily life, personal emergencies and national disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, those with the fewest resources also have the fewest personal friends to call for advice and assistance.“It‟s one thing to know someone and exchange e-mails with then. It‟s another thing to say, …Will you give me a ride out of town with all of my possessions and pets? And can I stay with you for a couple or three months?‟” Smith-Lovin said.“Worrying about social isolation is not a matter of remembering a warm past. Real things are strongly connected with that,” added Harvard University Public Policy Professor Robert Putnam. He suggested flexible work schedules would allow Americans to tend both personal and professional lives.1. One reason for the social isolation of Americans is .A. frequent relocationB. frequent travelingC. living aloneD. working flexible hours2. The percentage of people with more than two close friends is about .A. 25%B. 50%C. 60%D. 75%3. According to the passage, close social ties among people are .A. a must for social progressB. beneficial for the familyC. a source of happinessD. good for people‟s health4. It is implied that tend to live a more socially isolated life.A. people in the higher social ladderB. people in the lower social ladderC. people with a longer life spanD. people with a shorter life span5. According to Robert Putnam, .A. it is useless to worrying about social isolationB. social isolation is not necessarily bad for usC. it is time to do something about social isolationD. social isolation does not mean the end of society6. The passage is focused on .A. the new trend in American social lifeB. the urban problems in modern societyC. the ways to build a strong social networkD. the reasons for close interpersonal relationshipsPassage T woFor years, France proudly resisted establishing domestic smoking bans. It held out longer than Britain, Spain and Italy, but on January 2, 2008, it finally forbid cigarettes in bars, cafés, restaurants and clubs.This was not a decision taken lightly. Magazines ran photo-spreads reminding us that French people look seriously cool with a cigar in their mouth. There were illustrations of Charles de Gaulle, the French president during World WarⅡ, Brigitte Bardot, the 1950s famous fashionist, and the famous French philosopher and writer, Jean-Paul Sartre. Even the present President Nicolas Sarkozy, extremely image-conscious, posed for Paris Match magazine with a fat cigar.But now, France‟s traditional “café-clope” (morning coffee and cigarette) is only possible if people can bear the freezing temperatures outside.In the latter part of the 20th century, the health risks of second-hand tobacco smoke were made public. Then, in 1975, a modern wave of smoking bans started in Minnesota, the U.S. Since then, many countries and regions have joined in the movement. Among them, the U.S. has been a pioneer, with California eing the first in the world to ban indoor smoking at all public places, including bars and restaurants. Thus some French people call the non-smoking law issued on Januar y 2 “a touch too American”.However, studies before the ban showed that 70 percent of French people supported the enforcement. The public‟s positive response means that the smoking ban will be just one more U.S. trend accepted by French society. Even among strong smokers, no one wants to risk a fine.French barman Jean-Michel, dressed in a leather waistcoat and a cowboy-style shoelace tie, complained harshly about the ban. Was he anticipating a smokers‟ revolt? “No,” he said calmly. “People will respect it.I‟ll do what I did at school. I‟ll smoke in the toilets.”According to the non-smoking law, individuals who smoke in bars, cafés, restaurants or clubs can be fined up to 450 euros. The owners of these places can be fined up to 750 euros if they fail to stop customers from smoking.7. The law of banning smoking in public places was not made easily because .A. France proudly resists establishing new lawsB. French people like their images with a cigar in their mouthC. French people have had such a strong habit since World War ⅡD. smoking has become fashionable for Frenchmen lately8. According to the passage, French President Nicolas Sarkozy .A. pays a great deal of attention to his own public imageB. has been a heavy smoker in public eyesC. strongly opposes the law of banning smokingD. is a model in the hearts of French people9. Which of the following is the first place in the world to ban indoor smoking at all public places?A. Minnesota.B. California.C. France.D. Britain.10. It is implied in the passage that .A. French people usually resist American trendsB. French people oppose the noon-smoking law because it is too AmericanC. French people often follow American suitsD. French people respect the non-smoking law because it is from the U.S.11. By saying “I‟ll do what I did at school”, Jean-Michel means that .A. he did not smoke when he was a school studentB. he had to smoke in the toilets when he was at schoolC. he often anticipated revolts when he was at schoolD. smoking was not allowed in the toilets when he was at school12. What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is difficult to establish new laws in France.B. How the non-smoking law was established?C. Non-smoking law is another American trend.D.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master, and he was doing well. But he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“Sir,” the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the master replied.Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛).Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged ；the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the judo master intervened.“No,” the judo master insisted, “Let him continue.”Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion. 新阳光教育On the way home, the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.“Sir, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”“You won for two reasons,” the master answered.“First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”31. Why did the boy wan to learn judo?A. He wanted to get over the accident.B. He wanted to make up for his disability.C. He wanted to exercise his right arm.D. The reason was not mentioned in the passage.32. When a referee calls a “time-out”, .A. the time has run outB. the game stops for a short timeC. either side can claim victoryD. the game ends in a tie33. Why did the master insist on continuing the match?A. He didn’t want to give the opponent an advantage.B. The boy was confident of winning.C. He had confidence in the boy’s skill.D. All he cared about was winning the final.34. What probably caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final?A. Over-confidenceB. ImpatienceC. InexperienceD. Exhaustion35. Why did the master teach the boy only that one move?A. The boy could not do other moves with only one arm.B. It was the only move the master knew well.C. It was the move his opponent would not be good at.D. His opponent would be helpless once he made that move.36. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Once can turn a weakness into an advantage.B. It is very difficult to have a good teacher.C. Even a disabled person can win a match.D. Practice makes perfect.Passage TwoMy five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977, and told me so. Yes, she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella, books, long nightgown, and slippers-fine. But really, there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecca was not Barbie girl, preferred stuffed animals to dolls, and 新阳光教育wasn’t drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules, design-my-own-world, do-it-my-way kid. Maybe, I thought, the point wasn’t Barbie but the house, which she could claim for herself, since we’d already moved five times during her brief life.Next day, I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there: “3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!” Some Assembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born, I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn’t build things. A few years earlier, I’d spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours tying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it, as if to remind me of my limitations, a tornado (龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level, keeping the columns from looking like they’d melted and been refrozen, and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping-if, in fact, she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge. By dawn I was done.Shortly thereafter, my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real, but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me to this day, 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred me to do something I didn’t think I could do. It was for her, and-like so much of the privilege of being her father-it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about my capacities.37. In the author’s eyes, his little daughter was .A. obedientB. unstableC. originalD. stubborn38. The author thought that his daughter’s choice of the Barbie Townhouse .A. was natural for a five-year-old girlB. was influenced by her life experienceC. reflected the change in her tasteD. brought her back to normal39. For the author, assembling things .A. was largely in his bloodB. was a challenge he enjoyedC. was always his weak pointD. was part of his family education40. Assembling the Barbie Townhouse .A. brought out the author’s potentialsB. turned out to be easier than expectedC. actually drove the author crazyD. was a bad memory for the author41. In the last paragraph the author mainly expressed .A. his pride in being a fatherB. his gratitude to his daughterC. his concern about his capacityD. his delight in helping his daughter42. What can be learned about the relationship between the author and his daughter?A. They are on good terms with each other.B. They barely speak to each other.C. They are polite but cold to each other.D. They keep secrets from each other. 新阳光教育Passage ThreeIt is all very well to blame traffic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog (占道者), but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Drivers” campaign; otherwise it may get completely out of hand.Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod to a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion, young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn’t be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps. “They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rater than a warning.” Punch-ups (打群架) are quite common. It can ’t be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However, technically skilled a driver may be, he can’t be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.43. The author is most concerned about______.A. traffic jamB. road mannersC. fast pace of lifeD. high cost of petrol44. The word “deplorable” (Para.1) most probably means “ ”.A. more seriousB. more temptingC. disturbingD. noticeable45. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B. A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.C. Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.D. Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.46. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that .A. young drivers are more aggressiveB. young drivers would soon lose their good mannersC. elder drivers are more cautiousD. elder drivers should improve their driving skills 新阳光教育47. An example of good manners on the roads is .A. signaling cars to overtakeB. manufacturing a gapC. selecting a lower gearD. using the direction indicator48. According to the author, a good driver should .A. be technically skilledB. have a good state of mindC. be sympathetic with othersD. take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last 50 years, not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the world’s food supplies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn’t know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificial fertilizers and pesticides (杀虫剂) to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consumes which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years. Today’s fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time. However, with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients, minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.Another aspect of organic food information is the production of meat and poultry (家禽). Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animals is killed, the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones resides in the meat which are then consumed, digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn’t kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.You have nothing to lose by trying organic product, not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some, you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.49. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that organic food .A. is considered as a better choiceB. is mostly supplied by world-famous companies 新阳光教育C. has become popular over the last 50 yearsD. reflects the change of production practices.50. Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticides to .A. satisfy people’s critical demandB. develop better farming technologyC. get a higher crop yieldD. keep people in better health51. According to Paragraph 3, organic food .A. has gone down in qualityB. has more nutrientsC. can replace mass-produced foodD. lacks Vitamin C52. What does the author say about meat and poultry?A. Organic meat and poultry is hardly available.B. A great amount of meat is consumed every year.C. Merciless killing of the animals lowers their quality.D. They may contain antibiotics and growth hormones.53. In the last paragraph, people are advised to .A. eat traditional produce and meatB. return to mass-produced fruitsC. do the cost and availability researchD. try organic product for better health and taste54. This passage is mainly about .A. the benefits of organic food informationB. the challenges facing the world food industryC. changes in food production practicesD. a growing demand for high quality foodPassage FiveDrinking wastewater? The idea may sound distasteful, but new federally funded research says more Americans are doing so-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and, in some cases, may be even safer to drink, according to a report released by the National Research Council. “We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity, especially in coastally areas,” says Jorg Drewes, an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. “This can be done reliably without putting the public at risk,” he says, citing technological advances. He says it’s a waste not to reuse the nation ’s wastewater, because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm runoff (径流) as well as used water from homes, business and factories.In many places, the report says, the public does not realize it’s drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream. For example, wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston, the source for 新阳光教育Houston’s drinking water.Despite the growing importance of this reuse, the report says there’s been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwide since a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Association says wastewater reuse is common, so the council ’s report is import but not surprising. Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase, especially for irrigation and industrial needs. He says it will take no longer to establish potables (适于饮用的) uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater, however treated.We have to do something to address water scarcity," says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group." Less than 10% of potable water is used for drinking, cooking, showering or dishwashing. We flush it down the toilet, literally." Technologies exist to safely treat the water, she says, although some are expensive.The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more than most water conservation options but less than sweater desalination (脱盐) and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EAP to develop rules that set safe national standards.55. As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinking wastewater .A. is to become a growing necessityB. is well received by the AmericansC. has caused heated public debatesD. has become the dominant option56. Which of the following statements would Jorg Drewes agree to?A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.57. Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public _____.A. accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmlyB. is concerned about the safety of the drinking waterC. does not believe that wastewater is safe to drinkD. is not aware of the nature of their drinking water58. According to Alan Roberson, _____.A. it is not safe to drink wastewaterB. the report has surprised the publicC. the report helps build up public confidenceD. the public has yet to accept drinking wastewater59. Olga Naidenko’s remarks emphasize _____.A. the recent progressB. the existing problemsC. the new perspectiveD. the potential risks60. What does the report suggest to the EPA?A. Weighing different water conservation options. 新阳光教育B. Exploring new technologies to treat wastewater.C. Setting up national standards for water reuse.D. Monitoring water supplies at a national level.Part IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D.

Because Brussels sprouts are bitter, and kids generally don ’t like bitter tastes. But it ’s not their 61 . Researchers say that a dislike for bitter and sour is a survival instinct, since most toxic substances 62 that way too. On the other hand, sweetness typically indicates that something is 63 to eat, so children are born with a 63 for sweets. What we like to eat changes over time.

With our senses diminished, we’ll probably begin 68 sugar and salt to our food, to heighten the flavor. 69 , there’s a theory that the reason many especially “big”-tasting wines in recent years have won awards is that wine critics are getting older and finding subtle flavors 70 to sense.

The students' skills are then tested by examinations that require them to show how much of the data they remember. From this experience a number of conclusions seem obvious: the study of history is the study of "facts" about the past; the more "facts" you know, the better you are as a student of history. But in this way students may become confused upon discovering that historians often disagree sharply. They discover that historians dealing with the same event may come to quite different conclusions about it. Obviously, there is no easy solution to this problem. Historians disagree because each historian views the past from a particular perspective. Once students grasp this, they have taken the first step toward being able to evaluate the work of various historians. But before they can take this first step, students must consider a problem they have more or less taken for granted. They must ask themselves what history really is. The word history has several meanings. In its broadest sense, it denotes the whole of the human past. More restricted is the notion that history is the recorded past, that is, that part of human life which has left some sort of record such as folk tales, artifacts, or written documents. Finally, history may be defined as that which historians write about the past. 31. What is the meaning of the word "fat" in Line 1？A. Big.B. Hard.C. Thick.D. Well-filled. 32. What do most history teachers require their students to do, according to the first paragraph? A. They ask their students to read a lot of history books. B. They make their students show interest in names, dates, events, and statistics. C. They ask their students to take many examinations. D. They make students get involved in many names, dates, events and statistics, and keep them in mind. 33. Why do students become confused? A. They can not understand the "fact" about the past. B. They are confused by their teachers. C. They find the descriptions and explanations of the same historical events are different from one historian to another. D. They don't know that the quite different conclusions may come out from the same event. 34. Why do historians disagree with each other? A. They stand in different places. B. They just pick up the most important facts they believe. C. They are not good friends. D. Both B and C. 35. What does "a problem" in Line 4 para.2 refer to? A. the connotation of the history itself B. The historian has different views towards the past. C. The history's meaning is various. D. The students have the ability to judge the history book. 36. Which of the following statements is NOT perfectly true? A. There is no way to solve the problem of disagreements among historians. B. If the students want to evaluate the work of various historians, they should first know what history really is. C. History is of course written by historians. D. The concept of history in students' mind is different from that in historians' mind. Passage Two Persons with disabilities typically face extraordinary obstacles in finding employment. This is evident in their significantly higher levels off unemployment and underemployment than the general population. Employment levels vary by type of disability, but the Harris Survey of 2004 reported that 35% of persons with severe disabilities are employed up slightly from the 31% employment rate found by the same survey in 2000, but very low compared to the employment rate of about 78% or 80% of the general population. Employment involves matching potential employees with job opportunities. To the extent that employment does not occur, the root of the problem may lie with the employee, with the job opportunities, or with the mechanisms that match the two sides together. The strategies that vocationalprograms for persons with disability typically use to address the problem off unemployment among persons with disabilities already, recognize many of the causes that contribute to a high rate of unemployment, but there is one major cause they overlook. On the job opportunity side of the relationship, employment programs offer solutions to address specific problems that deny persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to get the job. These may include education programs to counter negative employer or coworker stereotypes, workplace assessments to identify accessibility concerns in the physical layout and organization of the workplace, workplace supports to encourage employee integration with coworkers, and financial incentives and legal initiatives to counter externalities that would give employers a disincentive to hire an employee with a disability. On the employee end of the relationship, job training, teaching off specific work skills, and technological assistance are mainstays of many disability vocational programs. These solutions address perceived deficits in the skills and talents of the potential employees who these programs serve, based on the assumption that consumers would be employed if they had stronger marketable skills. These factors are what some sociologists and labor market economists refer to as human capital. In matching employees with employers, existing programs often teach consumers how to write a resume, improve interview skills, teach people bow to find a job and assist in locating job opportunities. Some programs also try to teach typical office "culture". While they may not be directly relevant to the job function, these elements make employment more likely and in the case of office culture, can improve success at the job. These factors are what some sociologists call cultural capital. One major factor in the matching aspect of employment that very few, if any, vocational programs for persons with disabilities seem to include is what sociologists call social capital. Social capital is the set or network of social relationships by which most people find employment. 37. What did the author want to tell us in the first paragraph? A. Persons with disabilities can't find a job. B. 35% of persons with severe disabilities are employed. C. Persons with disabilities' employment rate of 2004 are higher than the year 2000. D. Disabled persons' employment rate are very low compared to theemployment rate of the general population. 38. Which factor does relate to the other two when the author mentions the factors of employment?A. Employee.B. Job opportunities.C. Mechanisms.D. The extent of the employment. 39.According to the second paragraph, which of the following is true? A. Matching potential employees with job opportunities is one part of employment. B. The root of the problem that employment does not occur may lie with the employees. C. Persons with disabilities' lower employment rate may lie with the mechanisms. D. Persons with disabilities' lower employment rate is a social problem. 40. Read the third paragraph carefully and find out which of the following is a good method for an employer to hire employees with disabilities? A. The employer must be a kind hearted person. B. The disabled employee can suit for the job. C. There must be a employment program for disabled persons. D. The employee was not a severe disabled person. 41.Which of the following is not mentioned in paragraph 4? A. Disabled people should go to have job training. B. Disabled people should learn some specific work skills. C. Disabled people should have human capital. D. Disabled people should get technological assistance. 42.Which of the following are not mentioned in the last paragraph for matching employees with employers? A. To teach disabled persons how to write a resume. B. To improve their interview skills. C. To teach people how to find a job.D. Through the social capital. Passage Three The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is founded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are likely to grow into bright adults. To find this out,1500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results： On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 percent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives. About 70 percent had graduated from college, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate. Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, business or professional occupations. The group had published 90 books and 1500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents. In a material way they did not do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth. In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality. 43. What does the phrase "burn out" mean in this passage? A. Catch fire and be destroyed by fire. B. Lose the interest or enthusiasm. C. Cease to be clever or intelligent. D. Stop working through damage caused by fire. 44. In the first paragraph, what method does the author use to propose his opinion?A. ComparisonB. ContrastC. SimilarityD. Opposition 45. The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years is . A. true in all senses B. refuted by the author C. medically proven D. a belief of the author 46. The survey of bright children was made to . A. find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults B. prove that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years C. discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted D. prove that talented children never burn themselves out 47. Intelligence tests showed that . A. bright children were unlikely to be mentally healthy B. between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence C. talented children were most likely to become gifted adults D. when talented children grew into adults, they made low scores 48. What's the author's attitude towards the old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years?A. Approval.B. Objection.C. Objectivity.D. Indifference. Passage Four Of all the components of a good night's sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control．In dreams, a window opens into, a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated this revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just "mental noise" the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind's emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is "off-line." And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but to help us sleep and feel better. "It's your dream," says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago's Medical Center. "If you don't like it, change it．" Evidence from brain imaging supports this view．The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep when most vivid dreams occur-as it is when fully awake, says Dr. Eric Nof zinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved；the limbic system（the "emotional-brain"）is relatively quiet．"We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day", says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement. The link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright's clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don't always think about the emotional significance of the day's events until, it appears, we begin todream. And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting the dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead; it occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep. At the end of the day, there's probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping or "we wake up in panic", Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people's anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep or rather dream on it and you'll feel better in the morning. 49. Researchers have come to believe that dreams A. can be modified in their courses B. are susceptible to emotional changes C. reflect our innermost desires and fears D. are a random outcome of neural repairs 50. What's the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Dream is a kind of the neural-repair work. B. Emotions affect the content of dreams. C. Dreams can be controlled by oneself's mind. D. Mental image provides the evidence for Cartwright's idea. 51. By referring to the limbic system, the author intends to show A. its function in our dreams B. the mechanism of REM sleep C. the relation of dreams to emotions D. its difference from the prefrontal cortex 52. The negative feelings generated during the day tend toA. aggravate in our unconscious mindB. develop into happy dreamsC. persist till the time we fall asleepD. show up in dreams early at night 53. Cartwright seems to suggest that A. waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams B. visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control C. dreams should be left to their natural progression D. dreaming may not entirely belong to the unconscious 54. What advice might Cartwright give to those who sometimes have bad dreams？A. Lead your life as usual.B. Seek professional help.C. Exercise conscious control.D. Avoid anxiety in the daytime. Passage Five Say you're a developer who's in the market for a job. You come across a job listing, perhaps something like the one I recently posted. It's a job you're interested in and you send in your resume. Here's what to do. A cover letter is not just a standard part of your resume. A cover letter is designed to highlight the parts of your experience that are specific to the job to which you are applying. It's supposed to be the thing I see first and should draw me in, making me want to get the details from your resume. Don't stick your cover letter in an attachment and your resume in another attachment or your cover letter might not get seen. It's certainly not doing its job hidden in an attachment like that. If you are sending a resume by email, your cover letter belongs in the body of your email. You need to proofread your cover letter carefully. This is my first introduction to you. This is your chance to impress me. If you have sloppy spelling, capitalization, and spelling in your cover letter. I'll expect that your code as the same sort of problems. I'm not looking for Pulitzer-prize-winning stuff here, but most kids learn in first grade to capitalize proper nouns and the beginnings of sentences. Your resume should tell me what languages you know, what technologies you have experience with, and how you've applied that experience. Unless you're applying for a job as a secretary, you don't need to tell me you're proficient at MS Word - if you're a software developer, I assume you're familiar enough the basic workings of a word processor to use it to open a document and read a spec. Do tell me what sort of systems you've built and what challenges you overcame while building them. Do tell me how you applied your knowledge of efficient database operation to decrease server load by 30%. When I look at your resume I should get a sense of what size projects you've worked on. If you've worked with an internationally-known company, then I immediately understand you've had exposure to larger projects. If all of your experience was at no-name companies in North Dakota, then you needto tell me that the project you worked on had 15 developers and an annual budget of 3 million dollars. Otherwise I'm likely to think your prior experience was building simple ASP front ends to little Access databases. And finally, follow the directions for applying for the job. If I went to the trouble of describing how you should apply, there's probably a good reason for it. If I ask for a plain-text resume, don't send a Word document or a link to your resume on your Website. If I ask for a code sample, include it. If you can't follow those simple directions, how can I expect that you'll be able to follow a spec? I don't even look at those emails I get with Word attachments, no code samples, no information about availability or your location. I simply file them away in case I ever have a need to hire a developer that doesn't know how to follow directions. 55. Why did the author suggest that don't put your cover letter in another attachment of your resume? A. It's a waste of time. B. It is absurd. C. It will make your cover letter not do its job. D. There is no need to do so. 56. Why did the author emphasize the importance of proofread? A. Because it is a quality that a pupil should have. B. Proofreading can decrease errors from your cover letter. C. It will make you avoid some simple errors and will give your reader a good impression. D. It can make you win Pulitzer-prize. 57. Why did the author say that you should let the reader know what size project you've worked on？ A. Because this will highlight your resume. B. Because you are required to do so. C. Because this will let your reader know you better. D. Because it can make your reader know your ability for larger projects. 58. What's the meaning of "went to the trouble" that mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To face puzzledom. B. An amount of effort and time that is needed to do something. C. Have some difficulties. D. Some problems can't be solved. 59. What's the meaning of the word "spec" which mentioned in paragraph 6? A. Rule. B. Law. C. A detailed instruction about how a piece of equipment should be made. D. An direction. 60. The whole text tells us A. What the job hunter has to do when passing their resume. B. The importance of proofreading of the cover. C. The content should be mentioned. D. How to grasp the boss' eyes to choose you. Part IV Cloze (15minutes, 15points) When television first began to expand, very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were equally effective on television. Some of the 61 they experienced when they were trying to 62 themselves to the new medium were technical. When working 63 radio, for example, they had become 64 to seeing on 65 of the listener. This 66 of seeing for others means that the 67 has to be very good at talking. Above all, he has to be able to create a continuous sequence of visual images which add meaning to the sounds which the listener hears. In the 68 of television, however, the commentator sees 69 with the viewer. His role, therefore, is 70 different. He is there to make 71 that the viewer does not 72 some points of interest, to help him 73 on particular things, and to 74 the images on the television screen. Unlike his radio colleague, he must know the 75 of silence and how to use it at those moments when the pictures speaks for themselves. 61. A. difficulties B. successes C. sufferings D. incidents 62. A. turn B. adapt C. alter D. modify 63. A. on B. at C. with D. behind 64. A. experienced B. determined C. established D. accustomed 65. A. account B. side C. point D. behalf 66. A. efficiency B. technology C. art D. performance 67. A. commentator B. TV viewer C. speaker D. author 68. A. occasion B. event C. fact D. case 69.

Theboy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master ，and he wasdoing well. But he couldn't understand why，after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move."Sir ， " the boy finally said，"shouldn't I be learning more moves?"“This the only move you know，but this is the only move you'll ever need to know，" the master replied.in his teacher ，the boy Not quite understanding ，but believingkept training.Several months later，the master took the boy to his first tournament( 锦标赛 ).Surprising himself，the boy easily won his first two matches.The third matchproved to be more difficult，but after sometime ， his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his onemove to win the match. Still amazed by his success the boywas now in the finals.This time ，his opponent was bigger ，stronger ，and more experienced. For a while ，the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee alled a time-out, He was about to stop the match when the judo master intervened. "No," the judo master insisted，"Let him continue."Soon after the match resumed ，his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly ，the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.On the way home，the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage toask what was really on his mind."Sir ， how did I win the tournament with only one move?""You won for two reasons," the master answered."First，you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.

Yes，she still would likethe pink-and-green plastic umbrella，books，long nightgown，slippers-fine. But really ，there was only one thing thatmattered: a Barbie Townhouse, with all the accessories.This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl，preferredstuffed animals to dolls，and wasn't drawn to play in astructured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules，design-my-own-world， do-it-my-way kid.Maybe，I thought，thepoint wasn't Barbie but the house，which she could claim，forherself ，since we ’d already moved five times during herbrief life.Next day，I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there. "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop onAll Floors!" SomeAssembly Required. Uh-oh. My track record forassembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born，I was raisedin apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. Afew years earlier ，I'd spent one week assembling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. Ispent the first four hours sorting and the last two hourstrying to figure out why there were so many pieces.The day afterI finished building it ， as if to remind me of my limitations，a tornado( 龙卷风 ) touched down close enough to scatter thejungle gym across an acre of field.I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making itlevel ， keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen ， and getting that elevator to work were almostmore than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silenceso my daughter would continue sleeping--if，in fact，she was sleeping-added a layer of challenge . By dawn I was done.Shortly thereafter， my daughter walked into the living room.Her surprise may not be real，but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me. to this day，34 years later.Rebecca had spurred me to do something. I didn't think I could do. It wasfor her ，and—like so much of the privilege of being herfarther--it brought me further outside myself and let meovercome doubts about me capacities .37.

Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again , to havea tiger in the tank，but to have one in the driver's seat isanother matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog( 占道者 ) ， but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to therule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to OtherDrivers" campaign，otherwise it may get completely out ofhand.Road courtesy is not only good manners，but good sense too. It takes the most good-tempered of drivers to resist thetemptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response toan act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwilland tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. Butsuch acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion ，young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world ofmodern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice ofsignaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, becausemany of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, afterovertaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to theincreasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps." They manufacture them by force，using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Punch-ups(打群架 ) are quite common. It can't be long before we hearof pistols and knives being used.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technicallyskilled a driver may be ，he can't be an advanced motorist if heis always arrogant and aggressive.43.The author is most concerned about________.A. traffic jamB. road mannersC.fast pace of life D.high cost of petrol44.The word "deplorable" (Para. 1) most probably means________.A. more seriousB. more temptingC. disturbingD. noticeable45.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? ________.A. Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.B. A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.C. Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.D. Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.46. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that________.A. young drivers are more aggressiveB. young drivers would soon lose their good mannersC. elder drivers are more cautiousD. elder drivers should improve their driving skills47.An example of good manners on the roadsis_______.A.signaling cars to overtakeB.manufacturing a gapC.selecting a lower gearing the direction indicator48.According to the author，a good driver should_______.A.be technically skilledB.have a good state of mindC.be sympathetic with othersD.take good care of his vehiclePassage FourOn how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at thesource and production practices of the companies producing the world ’s food sup plies.The purpose of organic food information is to give you ansee that understanding of what is going into your food.You willthere are many benefits to organic food that you didn't knowbefore.The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificialfertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂 ) to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years.Today’s fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at onetime. However ，with organic food information you learn thatorganic food has fifty percent more nutrients，minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grownunder intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for thisdeficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since youwill be eating more chemicals that are worse for your healththan they are good for you.Another aspect of organic food information is the productionof meat and poultry( 家禽).Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all theseantibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed， the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside inthe meat which are then consumed， digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.You have nothing to lose by trying organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eatproduce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you willnever return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some， you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocksorganic produce for a reasonable price.49. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that organic food ________.A. is considered as a better choiceB. is mostly supplied by world-famous companiesC. has become popular over the last 50 yearsD. reflects the change of production practices50.Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticidesto________.A. satisfy people's critical demandB. develop better farming technologyC. get a higher crop yieldD. keep people in better health51. According to Paragraph 3，organic food________..A. has gone down in qualitymore nutrientsC. can replace mass-produced food Vitamin CB. has D. lacks52.What does the author say about meat and poultry? ________.anic meat and poultry is hardly available.B.A great amount of meat is consumed every year.C.Merciless killing of the animals lowers their quality.D.They may contain antibiotics and growth hormones.53.In the last paragraph, people are advised to________..A. eat traditional produce and meatB. return to mass-produced fruitsC. do the cost and availability researchD. try organic product for better health and taste54. This passage is mainlyabout________..A. the benefits of organic food informationB. the challenges facing the world food industryC. changes in food production practicesD. a growing demand high quality foodPassage FiveDrinking waste water? The idea maysound distasteful，but new federally funded research says more Americans are doingso-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and,in some cases,may be even safer to drink ，according to a report released by the National Research Council.“Webelieve water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity,especially in coastal areas ”,says Jorg Drewes, an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. "Thiscan be done reliably without putting the public at risk”，he says ，citing technological advances. He says it's a wastenot to reuse the nation's wastewater ，because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm，businesses and runoff( 径流 ) as well as used water from homesfactories.In many places ，the report says，the public does not realizeit's drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream. For example，wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston，the source for Houston's drinking water.Despite the growing importance of this reuse，the report says there's been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwidesince a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Associationsays wastewater reuse is common, so the council's report is important but not surprising.Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase，especially for irrigation andindustrial needs. He says it will take longer to establishpotable( 适于饮用的 ) uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater, however treated.“Wehave to do something to address water scarcity ”, says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group. “Less than 10 of potable water is used fordrinking ，cooking ，showering or dishwashing. Weflush it down the toilet ，literally. ” Technologies exist to safely treat the water ，she says ， although some are expensive.The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more，than most water conservation options but less than seawaterdesalination( 脱盐 ) and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.55.As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinkingwastewater_______.A. is to become a growing necessityB. is well received by the AmericansC. has caused heated public debatesD. has become the dominant option56.Which of the following statements would Jorg Drewes agreeto?_______.A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.ke Livingston is mentioned to show that thepublic________.A. accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmlyB. is concerned about the safety of the drinking waterC. does not believe that wastewater is safe to drink.D. is not aware of the nature of their drinking water58.According to Alan Roberson, ________.A. it is not safe to drink wastewaterB. the report has surprised the publicC. the report helps build up public confidenceD. the public has yet to accept drinking waste water59.Olga Naidenko ’s remarks emphasize_ _______.A. the recent progressB. the existing problemsC. the new perspectiveD. the potential risks60.What does the report suggest to the EPA?________.A.Weighing different water conservation options.B.Exploring new technologies to treat wastewater.C.Setting up national standards for water reuse.D.Monitoring water supplies at a national level.Part IV Cloze(15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions:In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.
