Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women’s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image cab be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce “ that lovely home-baked flavor the family love”, and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.66. According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women_________A. remove unpleasant aspects of housework.B. Save the housewife very little time.C. Save the housewife’s time but not her money.D. Have absolutely no value for the housewife.67. According to the context, capital investment refers to money _____A. spent on a washing machine.B. borrowed from the bank.C. saved in the bank.D. lent to other people.68. The goods advertised in women’s magazines are really meant to________A. free housewives from housework.B. Encourage housewives to go out to work.C. Turn housewives into excellent cooks.D. Give them a false sense of fulfillment.Text BThe “ standard of living” of any country means the average persons share of the goodsand services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, dependsfirst and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, forwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy.- "goods" such as food and cloth-ing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which havean effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country' s natural re-sources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions ofthe world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorableclimate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are per-haps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years fromcivil and external wars,and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. 'Sound and stablepolitical conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natu-ral resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another countryequally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technicalefficiency of a country's people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilledworkers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workersare largely unskilled.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is producedand consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced throughinternational trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs' and other agriculturalproducts would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makesit possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agriculturalproducts that would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much influenced byits manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept itsmanufactures.69. The standard of living in a country is determined by___________A. its goods and service.B. the type of wealth produced.C. how well it can create wealth.D. what an ordinary person can share.70. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPT________A. peoples share of its goods.B. political and social stability.C. qualities of its workers.D. use of natural resources.71. According to the passage,________ play an equally important role in determining acountry's standard of living.A. farm productsB. industrial goodsC. foodstuffsD. export importText CHow we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in ourteens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept our-selves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress ina certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meetnew people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cuta boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as theirmothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable Styles and weare constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd ordull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or justthe fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In coldclimates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. Inrecent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry bynot wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, shortskirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then theygot shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirtsbecame longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary todress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the wayyou like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans andthe "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashions of the topfashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then wemust choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a lawfirm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguishedscholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need neverfeel depressed if you don't look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll seethat no one else does either!72. The author thinks that people are____________A. satisfied with their appearance.B. concerned about appearance in old age.C. far from neglecting what is in fashion.D. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion.73. Fashion magazines and TV advertisement seem to link fashion to_________A. confidence in life.B. personal dress.C. individual hair style.D. personal future.74. Causes of fashions are ____________A. uniform.B. variedC. unknownD. inexplicable.75. Present-day society is much freer and earlier because it emphasizes ________A. uniformity.B. formality.C. informalityD. individuality.76. Which is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Care about appearance in formal situations.B. Fashion in formal and informal situations.C. Ignoring, appearance in informal situations.D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.TEXT DMassive changes in all of the world's deeply cherished sporting habits are underway.Whether it's one of London's parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking uprugby, or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised: spectator eventin Britain, ;he patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition, We arewitnessing a globalization of our sporting culture ........That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the Frenchis a good casein point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affairwith France, Belgium andHolland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot. Michelinand Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwidereturns for the millionsthey invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial worldchampionship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here,, one madepossible by. communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considera-tions. Sell the game and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well.The skilful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example ofhow all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to Spread the sport for its ownsake, but to increase the number of people interested in the majormoney-making events.The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US$125, gatereceipts alone were a staggering $10,000,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when theeyes of the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people arenow suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, withoutgiving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowingnature of the action.Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumersalso grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxingwe have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because people will not pay tosee anything less than a " World Title " fight, and this means that the title fights have to beheld in different countries around the world!77. Globalization of sporting culture means that ______-A. more people are taking up sports.B. traditional sports are getting popular.C. many local sports are becoming international.D. foreigners are more interested in local sports.78. Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?A. Good economic returns.B. RevivalC. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.79. What is the authors attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?A. Favorable.B. UnclearC. ReservedD. Critical80. People want to see higher-level sports competitions mainlybecause______A. they become more professional than ever.B. they regard sports as consumer goods.C. there exist few world-class championshipsD. sports events are exciting and stimulating.Section B Skimming and Scanning [5 min]In this Section there are seven passages with a total of ten multiple-choice questions.Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT EFirst read the following question.81.

The main topic of the passage is _________A. agricultural products.B. irrigation methods.C. natural resources.D. water shortages.Now, go through TEXT F quickly and answer Question 82.It is widely accepted that China is a country faced with severe water shortages. Insufficient water resources have slowed agricultural development. And to make matters worse,some of the traditional Chinese irrigation methods have wasted an astonishing amount of water.In China today, the utilization efficiency of farming water is about 30 to 40 per cent. Thisfigure stands in sharp contrast to developed country's utilization average of 70-80 per cent.The low utilization efficiency has resulted from the adoption of some traditional Chinese irrigation methods.Only by using modern irrigation methods can we reduce water shortage in agriculture.One of the advantages of modern irrigation methods is that they alone can save 20-30per cent of the present volume of wasted irrigation water.TEXT GFirst read the following question.83.
