）V 1. People can be addicted to different ttelevision. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders; They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational ─impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is even a special psychology of bargain-hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game; when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basicvalues, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called ―behavior therapy‖to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.1). According to the psychologists a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money （）. A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys B. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need D. entirely with an irrational eagerness 满分：2 分C2). According to the writer, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible prices （）. A. because they want to save money to help their budgetsB. because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for lessC. and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgetsD. but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can get things for less than others 满分：2 分A3). Which of the following is TRUE? A. All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things. B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase salesC. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do D. compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money. 满分：2 分B4). The article is mainly about（）. A. the psychology of money –spending habits B. the purchasing habits hings ─ e.g., alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even of compulsive spenders C. a special psychology of bargain hunting D. the use of the psychology of spending habits in business 满分：2 分A5). From the passage we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters（）A. are really unreasonableB. need special treatment C. are really beyond remedies D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money 满分：2 分 B三、阅读理解（共 1 道试题，共10 分。

The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time from the rea l outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______B_______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ________B_____.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ________A______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ____C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___C___.A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that ___D___.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that ___A___.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate it?At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneou s ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for suc cess is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is highly i mportant.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these quali ties, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11. It can be known from the passage that Who’s Who___C___.A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB. is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC. is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD. is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12. According to the author, common sense____B__.A. is something that common people like bestB. is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC. is a popular quality a person is born withD. is a quality that is possessed by common people13. The word“extraneous” in Paragraph 4 most probably means__D____.A. rightB. extraordinaryC. clearD. not related14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for success? BA. Intelligence.B. Modesty.C. Creativity.D. Good luck.15. The passage is mainly concerned with___D___.A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to a ppear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers”were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16. According to the report,___D___.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17. Many “short sleepers”are likely to hold the view that __C___.A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers __B___.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems19. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might __A__.A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? BA. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “… those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…” suggest that ___D___.A. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22. The word “relative” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “______B____”.A. familyB. comparativeC. considerateD. slight23. The advice given in the first sentence of Paragraph 3 is to ______B_____.A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on and probable future location of various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available24. The word “prospective” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “___C____”.A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious25. In paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that _____C___.A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 6Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at le ast two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _____C_____.A. created good will between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. barely showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27. What did the mana ger mean by saying “… Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.”BA. His team would no longer take part in the international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.28. The basketball example implied that ______A_____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29. The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show ____C____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?DA. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.III. Vocabulary and Structure1.

Many people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define “wisdom” and consider means of promoting it. There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of course I should put first a sense of proportion; the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have not time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say), as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody’s mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race. Therefore with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增加) our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purposes are unwise.1).? Disagreement arises when people try to decide ______.A.how much more wisdom we have now than beforeB.what wisdom is and how to develop itC.if there is a great increase of wisdom in our ageD.Whether wisdom can be developed or not正确答案：??????满分：4??分2).?According to the author, “wisdom” is the ability to ______.A.carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research workB.give each important problem some careful considerationC.acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledgeD.give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem正确答案：??????满分：4??分3).?Lowering the infant death-rate may ______.A.prove to be helpful everywhere in the worldB. give rise to an increase in population inEuropeC.cause food shortages in Asia andAfricaD.raise the living standard of the people inAfrica正确答案：??????满分：4??分4).?The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that _____.A.it’s extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in a problemB.success in medical research has its negative effectsC.scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human race.D.it’s unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine正确答案：??????满分：4??分5).?What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.B.The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes.C.Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of wisdom.D.wisdom increases in proportion to one’s age.正确答案：??????满分：4??分1.?? In order to talk about the nature of the universe and to discuss questions such as whether it has a beginning or an end, you have to be clear about what a scientific theory is. I shall take the simple-minded view that a theory is just a model of the universe, or a restricted part of it, and a set of rules that relate quantities in the model to observations that we make.It exists only in our minds and does not have any other reality. A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements. It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations.For example, Aristotle’s theory that everything was made out of four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, was simple enough to qualify, but it did not make any definite predictions. On the other hand, Newton’s theory of gravity was based on an even simpler model, in which bodies attracted each other with a force that was proportional to a quantity called their mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Yet it predicts the motion of the sun, the moon, and the planets to a high degree of accuracy. Anyphysical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory. In practice, what often happens is that a new theory that is devised is really an extension of the previous theory. The eventual goal of science is to provide a single theory that describes the whole universe. However, the approach most scientists actually follow is to separate the problem into two parts. First, there are the laws that tell us how the universe changes with time. If we know what the universe is like at any one time, these physical laws tell us how it will look at any later time. Second, there is the question of the initial state of the universe. Some people feel that scienceshould be concerned with only the first part; they regard the question of the initial situation as a matter for religion. They would say that God could have started the universe off any way he wanted. That may be so, but in that case he also could have made it develop in a completely arbitrary way. Yet it appears that he chose to make it evolve in a very regular way according to certain laws. It therefore seems equally reasonable to suppose that there are also laws governing the initial state. It turns out to be very difficult to devise a theory to describe the universe all in one go. Instead, we break the problem up into bits and invent a number of partial theories. Each of these partial theories describes and predicts a certain limited class of observations, neglecting the effects of other quantities, or representing them by simple sets of numbers. It may be that this approach is completely wrong. If everything in the universe depends on everything else in a fundamental way, it might be impossible to get close to a full solution by investigating parts of the problem in isolation. Nevertheless, it is certainly the way that we have made progress in the past. The classical example is the Newtonian theory of gravity, which tells us that the gravitational force between two bodies depends only on one number associated with each body, its mass, but is otherwise independent of what the bodies are made of. Thus one does not need to have a theory of the structure and constitution of the sun and the planets in order to calculate their orbits. Today scientists describe the universe on terms of two basic partial theories — the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. They are the great intellectual achievements of the first half of this century. The general theory of relativity describes the force of gravity and the large-scale structure of the universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, deals with phenomena on extremely small scales, such as a millionth of a millionth of an inch. Unfortunately, however, these two theories are known to be inconsistent with each other — they cannot both be correct. One of the major endeavors in physics today, is the search for a new theory that will incorporate them both — a quantum theory of gravity. We do not yet have such a new theory, and we may still be a long way from having one, but we do already know many of the properties that it must have.1).?According to the author, a theory is all of the following EXCEPT for ______.A.a model of the universeB.a restricted part of the universeC.a set of rulesD. a reality正确答案：??????满分：4??分2).?The difference between Aristotle’s theory and Newton’s theory is ______.A.Aristotle’s theory can describe a large class of observations, whileNewton’s cannot.B.Newton’s theory can describe a large class of observations, while Aristotle’s cannot.C.Aristotle’s theory can make a definite prediction of the future observations, while Newton’s cannot.D.Newton’s theory can make a definite prediction of the future observations, while Aristotle’s cannot.正确答案：??????满分：4??分3).?The approach adopted by most scientists to devise a theory to describe the universe is _________.A.to break the problem up into bits and invent a number of partial theoriesB.to invent one theory to describe the whole universeC.to combine general theory of relativity with quantum mechanicsD.to study the origin of the universe正确答案：??????满分：4??分4).?It is described in Newton’s theory of gravity that bodies attracted each other with a force which is ______.A. inversely proportional to their massB.inversely proportional to the square of the distance between themC.proportional to the square of the distance between themD.proportional to the constitution of them正确答案：??????满分：4??分5).?According the passage, the great intellectual achievements of the first half of the 20th century are ______.A.Newton’s theory of gravity and the general theory of relativityB.Newton’s theory of gravity and quantum mechanicsC.the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanicsD.the general theory of relativity and the quantum theory of gravity正确答案：??????满分：4??分1.?? In recent years a new farming revolution has begun, one that involves the manipulation of life at a(1)level — the gene. The study of genetics has (2) a new industry called biotechnology. As the name suggest, it incorporates biology (3)modem technology through such techniques as genetic engineering. Some of the new biotech companies specialize in agriculture and are working passionately to (4) seeds that give a high yield, that (5) diseases, drought and frost, and that reduce the need for (6) chemicals. If such goals could be achieved, it would be most (7). But some have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops. In nature, genetic diversity is created within certain (8). A rose can be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with a potato. Genetic engineering,(9) usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another (10) to transfer a desired characteristic. This could mean, for example, selecting a gene whichleads to the production of a chemical with anti-freeze (11) from an artic fish, and inserting it into a potato or strawberry to make it frost-resistant. (12), then, biotechnology allows humans to breach the genetic walls that separate species. Like the green revolution,(13)some call, the gene revolution(14)to the problem of genetic uniformity—some say even more so (15)geneticists can employ techniques such(16)cloning and organ culture(培养), processes that produce perfectly (17) copies. Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new (18), such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment. “We are flying blindly into a new (19) of agricultural biotechnology with high hopes, few constraints, and little idea of the potential (20),” said science writer Jeremy Rifkin.1).?A.fundamentalB.governmentalC.mentalD.instrumental正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分2).?A.got along withB.given rise toC.come up withD.lived up to正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分3).?A.intofromC.withD.for正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分4).?A.raiseB.experimentC.cultivateD.gather正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分5).?A.B.resistC.reverseD.recur正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分6).?A.hostileB.uselessC.hopelessD.harmless正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分A.beneficialB.disappointingC.lastingD.glooming正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分8).?A.linesB.limitsC.speciesD.ages正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分9).?A.after allB.on the other handC.in any caseD.as a rest正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分10).?A.to the pointB.in no caseC.in an attemptD.with regard正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分11).?A.qualityB.superiorityC.priorityD.quantity正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分12).?A.In essenceB.In partC.In advanceD.In return正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分13).?A.whatB.whereC.asD.so正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分14).?A.combinecontributesC.commandD.break正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分15).?A.thatB.becauseC.ifD.when正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分16).?A.B.for exampleC.asD.is正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分17).?A.resemblingB.alikeC.similarD.identical正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分A.issuesB.heightC.difficultiesD.goals正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分19).?A.spotB.eraC.deadlineD.scheme正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分20).?A.navigationB.mysteryC.outcomesD.destination正确答案：??????满分：1.5??分。
