The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month. But it will fall we know not where. That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers. The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long. We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future. What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep. What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them. That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor. 21. Where the Skylab will fall? A) is kept secret B) has been made public C) has been predicted by scientists D) can’t be predicted even by computers(D) 22. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us to do? A) Not to believe in officials. B) To think about our future. C) Has been predicted by scientists. D) To fear for our lives.(D) 23. The author suggests that ________. A) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimated B) it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything about C) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimated D) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab(A) 24. The author refers to Three Mils Island ________. A) because he is doubtful about what the officials said B) because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plant C) because he is afraid of the use of nuclear power D) because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company(B)

The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA),Russia made American bus inessman Dennis Tito the world’s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2022, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of ‘N Sync was supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2022, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space AccommodationsRussia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001,the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001, Participants on the show were to go through training at Ru ssia’s cosmonaut(宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2022.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure (根底结构)〞that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.〞Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-th ird as strong as Earth’s.According to their vision statement. Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousand of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...〞Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A) B) C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.注意:此局部试题请在答题卡2上作答。

This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A) interest in the failure of the SkylabB) willingness to give his adviceC) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is the most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is ge nerally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring t he students’ abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ________.A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33. According to the letter, a student’s final mark ________.A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A) have to continue his studiesC) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failureD) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of ________.A) competing with other studentsC) working too hardB) being graded unfairlyD) being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding (令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the 1930’s banks started to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a new push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of perso nal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.36. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to ________.A) the attitude of bankersB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the outer appearance of bank buildings37. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) rich customersC) friendly businessmenB) regular visitorsD) elderly gentlemen38. When did banks begin to grow human?A) In the last century.C) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.D) During the war.39. What helped the “humanization” of banks?A) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the custo mer’s account was greatly increased.40. Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

disappointment sometime next month.But it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station,weighing77tons and as high as a 12story building,will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100miles wide and4,000miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures,or misadventures,of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith,the Skylab’s director,is the“big pieces”that will come through the atmosphere,Two lumps,weighing2tons each,and ten,weighing at least1,000pounds each,will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to100feet deep.What worries us,with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces,although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know,but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.That accident took place in1979in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor.21.Where the Skylab will fall?A)is kept secretB)has been made publicC)has been predicted by scientistsD)can’t be predicted even by computers22.According to the passage,what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us todo?A)Not to believe in officials.B)To think about our future.C)Has been predicted by scientists.D)To fear for our lives.23.The author suggests that________.A)the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB)it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC)the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD)computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab24.The author refers to Three Mils Island________.A)because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB)because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC)because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD)because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the samecompany25.This passage is mainly about the author’s________.A)interest in the failure of the SkylabB)willingness to give his adviceC)eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD)concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions26to30are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes,agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy.But the industrial performance of agriculture(the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy)is even more important than this.For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low,most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth.Indeed,one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income(人均收入)of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming.In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms.This compares sharply with less than10percent in western Europe and less than4 percent in the United States.In short,the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers.This performance,in turn,depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment,or market structure,within which it functions.In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined.It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26.This passage is most probably________.A)a news itemB)part of an introduction to a bookC)part of a lectureD)an advertisement27.What is the most important to agriculture is________.A)the amount of food it producesB)the per capita income of farmersC)its industrial performanceD)the production of investment goods28.The underlined word“this”in the first paragraph refers to________.A)the provision of food and raw materialsB)the productivity of farmersC)the production of investment goodsD)the economy as a whole29.The performance of farmers essentially determines________.A)the size of the working populationB)the organization of agricultureC)the market structureD)the general development of economy30.This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of________.A)the structure of American farming populationB)the market structure of American agricultureC)the various functions of American agricultureD)the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions31to35are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin,perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations.In July,two writers(Letters to the Editor)praised the cancellation of exams because they believe“tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries,I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student,and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work.Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work,diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance.The opposite is,almost certainly,incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality.How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it?Any institution that“liberates”students from fair and formal exams is misguided,if not ignorant.And surely the“graduates”of such institutions will lack trustworthiness,not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done,I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams(废除考试)talk.Excellence and quality fear nothing.On the contrary,they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31.Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A)Tests are not effective in measuring the students’abilities.B)Tests are an effective measure of the students’abilities.C)Tests can only measure some of the students’abilities.D)Tests may not be useful for measuring students’abilities.32.The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph________.A)opposed judging students by the results of examsB)must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC)regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD)seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33.According to the letter,a student’s final mark________.A)is often encouragingB)often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC)often proves unreliableD)often tells whether he likes the subject or not34.If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A)have to continue his studiesC)be incompetentB)have a feeling of failureD)not be admitted by foreign institutions35.According to the letter,those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of________.A)competing with other studentsC)working too hardB)being graded unfairlyD)being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions36to40are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago,either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking.That this was so,it should be said,was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves.Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding(令人生畏的)structures.Behind the little barred windows were,more often than not,elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account,and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was,to the average citizen,a fearful,if necessary,instrument for dealing with business—usually big business.But somewhere in the1930’s banks started to grow human,even pleasant,and started to attract the little man.It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns,or in small towns where people know each other by their first names,and spread to big towns.At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to“humanize”banks,of course,received a new push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more“little”people found themselves in need of personal loans,as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款)buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt.All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit(信贷) could be extremely helpful.36.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to________.A)the attitude of bankersB)unfriendliness of customers toward banksC)economic pressure of the timeD)the outer appearance of bank buildings37.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in________.A)rich customersC)friendly businessmenB)regular visitorsD)elderly gentlemen38.When did banks begin to grow human?A)In the last century.C)Sometime before the war.B)A few years ago.D)During the war.39.What helped the“humanization”of banks?A)The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B)More and more“little”people became customers of banks.C)More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D)The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.40.Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because________.A)the bank buildings looked forbiddingB)they were comparatively rich before the warC)they thought it was not proper to be in debtD)they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure(20minutes)41.I don’t know whether what she said is true,but I’ll try to________it.A)conformB)confirmC)confessD)confinest year Mike

But it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces”that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor.21. Where the Skylab will fall?A) is kept secretB) has been made publicC) has been predicted by scientistsD) can’t be predicted even by computers22. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us todo?A) Not to believe in officials.B) To think about our future.C) Has been predicted by scientists.D) To fear for our lives.23. The author suggests that ________.A) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB) it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab24. The author refers to Three Mils Island ________.A) because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB) because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC) because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD) because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the samecompany25. This passage is mainly about the author’s ________.A) interest in the failure of the SkylabB) willingness to give his adviceC) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is the most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragrap h refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misgui ded, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring the students’ abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ________.A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33. According to th e letter, a student’s final mark ________.A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A) have to continue his studiesC) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failureD) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of ________.A) competing with other studentsC) working too hardB) being graded unfairlyD) being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding (令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the 1930’s banks started to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a new push during the wa r, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of perso nal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.36. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to ________.A) the attitude of bankersB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the outer appearance of bank buildings37. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) rich customersC) friendly businessmenB) regular visitorsD) elderly gentlemen38. When did banks begin to grow human?A) In the last century.C) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.D) During the war.39. What helped the “humanization” of banks?A) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the cus tomer’s account was greatly increased.40. Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from National Air and Space Administration (NASA),Russia made American bus inessman Dennis Tito the world’s first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS.Lance Bass of ‘N Sync wa s supposed to be the third to make the $20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as they blasted off on October 30, 2002, due to lack of payment. Probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space tour was that NASA approved of it.These trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the next two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.Space AccommodationsRussia’s Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001,the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001, Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia’s cosmonaut(宇航员) training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. The Mir crash has ruled out NBC’s space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel. Here are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:Space Island Group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating “commercial space infrastructure (根底结构)〞that will resemble the Discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey.〞Space Island says it will build its space city out of empty NASA space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or so), and place it about 400 miles above Earth. The space city will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-third as strong as Earth’s.According to their vision statement. Space Adventures plans to “fly tens of thousand of people in space over the next 10-15 years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from spaceports both on Earth and in space, to and from private space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...〞Even Hilton Hotels has shown interest in the space tourism industry and possibility of building or co-funding a space hotel. However, the company did say that it believes such a space hotel is 15 to 20 years away.Initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at best. For instance, if the International Space Station is used as a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious surroundings of a hotel room on Earth. It has been designed for conducting research, not entertainment. However, the first generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more comfortable experience.In regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by Space Island, such a hotel could offer guests every convenience they might find at a hotel on Earth, and some they might not. The small gravitational pull created by the rotating space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk around and function facilities would be possible. Additionally, space tourists would even be able to take space walks.Many of these companies believe that they have to offer an extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. So will space create another separation between the haves and have-nots?The Most Expensive VacationWill space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy? Or will middle-class folks have a chance to take their families to space? Make no mistake about it, going to space will be the most expensive vacation you ever take. Prices right now are in the tens of millions of dollars. Currently, the only vehicles that can take you into space are the space shuttle and the Russian Soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. Each spacecraft requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which makes them expensive to launch. One pound of payload (有效载重) costs about $10,000 to put into Earth’s orbit.NASA and Lockheed Martin are currently developing a single-stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the VentureStar, that could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle costs to launch. If the VentureStar takes off, the number of people who could afford to take a trip into space would move into the millions.In 1998, a joint report from NASA and the Space Transportation Association stated that improvements in technology could push fares for space travel as low as $50,000, and possibly down to $20,000 or $10,000 a decade later. The report concluded that a ticket price of $50,000, there could be 500,000 passengers flying into space each year. While still leaving out many people, these prices would open up space to a tremendous amount of traffic.Since the beginning of the space race, the general public has said, “Isn’t that great—when do I get to go?〞Well, our chance might be closer than ever. Within the next 20 years, space planes could be taking off for the Moon at the same frequency as airplanes flying between New York and Los Angles.注意:此局部试题请在答题卡1上作答。

But it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12 story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.Wha t worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere, Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what the officials had assured us as to the safely of the nuclear reactor.21. Where the Skylab will fall?A) is kept secretB) has been made publicC) has been predicted by scientistsD) can’t be predicted even by computers22. According to the passage, what does an incident such as the failed Skylab lead us todo?A) Not to believe in officials.B) To think about our future.C) Has been predicted by scientists.D) To fear for our lives.23. The author suggests that ________.A) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been overestimatedB) it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything aboutC) the danger of the Skylab’s fall has been underestimatedD) computers can solve the problem caused by the broken Skylab24. The author refers to Three Mils Island ________.A) because he is doubtful about what the officials saidB) because he fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plantC) because he is afraid of the use of nuclear powerD) because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the samecompany25. This passage is mainly a bout the author’s ________.A) interest in the failure of the SkylabB) willingness to give his adviceC) eagerness to see more new scientific discoveriesD) concern that science cannot answer all questionsPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on howagriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably ________.A) a news itemB) part of an introduction to a bookC) part of a lectureD) an advertisement27. What is the most important to agriculture is ________.A) the amount of food it producesB) the per capita income of farmersC) its industrial performanceD) the production of investment goods28. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________.A) the provision of food and raw materialsB) the productivity of farmersC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.A) the structure of American farming populationB) the market structure of American agricultureC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring th e students’ abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ________.A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students33. According to the l etter, a student’s final mark ________.A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the year’s workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would________.A) have to continue his studiesC) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failureD) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probablyafraid of ________.A) competing with other studentsC) working too hardB) being graded unfairlyD) being dismissed from schoolPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen to ok a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding(令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen w hose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the 1930’s banks started to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement beg an in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have be en remarkable.The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a new push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.36. The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years a go waschiefly due to ________.A) the attitude of bankersB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the outer appearance of bank buildings37. The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) rich customersC) friendly businessmenB) regular visitorsD) elderly gentlemen38. When did banks begin to grow human?A) In the last century.C) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.D) During the war.39. What helped the “humanization” of banks?A) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by younger men.B) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.40. Ordinary people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.
