We know that the Romans wrote word squares and some people say that the Chinese had something like crossword games eight thousand years ago, but it is generally believed that the modern crossword game did not begin until 1913. In that year, a man called Arthur Wynne wrote a crossword game which was published in American Sunday newspaper called “New York World”.People who read the newspaper liked the crossword and so it became a regular feature of the paper. Then, in 1924, two American publishers, Simon and Schuster, decided to publish a whole book of crosswords, although they were not sure whether anyone would want to buy a copy. To incredible sales, they gave away a free pencil and a free eraser with each book. The book was a huge success and very soon crosswords became the most popular game in the USA. Arthur Wynne moved to England and, on 2 November 1924, one of his crossword games was printed in “Sunday Express”. Some people say this was the first crossword published in England but other people claim that the first appeared in “Pearson’s Magazine” in February 1922. Then, on 11 January 1925, the first Prize Crossword was printed, in “Sunday Times”. Everyone in England was doing crosswords ? even Queen Mary, the Queen of England, and her Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin. And crosswords were believed to be the most important feature of British social life at that time. The enthusiasm for crosswords continued until this day.1. Modern crossword began ____B_____.A. eight thousand years agoB. in 1913C. in the RomanD. in the China2. Who created the modern crossword game first? ___C____A. The Romans.B. The Chinese.C. Arthur Wynne.D. Simon and Schuster.3. In order to make the book success, what did the two American publishers do? ___A____A. They provide a free pencil and a free rubber with each book.B. They decided to lower the price of the book.C. The crossword games designed easily by them.D. They send the book to readers without charge.4. The first Prize Crossword was appeared in ____D_____.A. “New York World” in 1913B. “Pearson’s Magazine” in February 1922C. “Sunday Express” on 2 November 1924D. “Sunday Times” on 11 January 19255. We can learn from the passage that ____C_____.A. the crossword games were only loved by some important figures in EnglandB. the crossword games were popular at that time, butC. the crossword game was the most important feature in England at that timeD. today the crossword game is still popular in some of western countriesPassage B“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969. In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not agree to some parts of the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers find that problems appear when the children who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with those who have not watched the program. Tests have shown that children have learned much from watching “Sesame Street”. The children who watch it five times a week learn more than those who watch it less. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. The programs use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic unde rstanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested, such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both the government and businessmen, and the full use of various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that mothers watch “Sesame Street” together with their children. This is partly because famous film stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But t he best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.6. “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world” because it is ____B_____.A. the longest street in the United StatesB. shown in many countriesC. the longest television program in the worldD. watched regularly by six million children7. In the United States more than ____A_____ children watch “Sesame Street” regularly.A. 6,000,000B. 6,500,000C. 600,000D. 700,0008. In the United States many children can watch the program regularly because ____D_____.A. they needn’t go to schoolB. it is shown many hours a dayC. it is shown in the eveningD. it is shown many times during the week9. One of the important reasons for the success of the program is that ____A_____.A. not only children but also their mothers like to watch itB. many famous film stars enjoy watching itC. it teaches educational theoriesD. it is produced by the government10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? ___D____A. All American children watch the program regularly.B. The program became the most important export of the United States in 1969.C. The program is shown five times a week in the United States.D. The program has been a great success, but no one can explain exactly why.Passage CMiss Wang of Thailand went to Hong Kong for a holiday. Soon after she got to Hong Kong, she went shopping along Nathan Road. Suddenly a man came up to her and said, “Hello, there, I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The stranger continued talking to her f or a while and then took out a small box from his pocket. “Would you like to buy some diamonds?”he asked, opening the box to show some stones. “I’m willing to sell them to you cheap —only ＄400 for this diamond. How about it?”Miss Wang didn’t want to buy the diamond because she had heard many stories of people being tricked. Also, at that moment a woman stopped and warned her, “Don’t buy from him.

These diamo nds are real.”In the end they took one of the diamonds to a jeweler —one who sells diamonds and the like. The jeweler examined the stone and told Miss Wang that it was real.

Then she went back to the jeweler and asked, “How much will it cost to fix these on a ring?”The jeweler examined the stones and said, “Why do you want to do that? These are just glass.” “But you told me just now they were diamonds.” “The first stone w as a diamond; these are not.” Miss Wang ran out of the shop hoping to catch the stranger and get her money back.

War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years .It was always had and usually foolish, but in the past thehuman race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man . For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done .It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war .To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contest of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law .It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war .I believe this to be a big error .All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements which are ,at best doubtful ,and at worst ,totally false .Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them .The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome .It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided .Of course very difficult problems remain in the world ,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory .It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb .1. What change does the author refer to in the sentence “Modern ingenuity has changed this”inparagraph 1?A. The fact that war has always been badB. The fact that man has managed to live with war so farC. The fact that war will abolish manD. The fact that war has existed for thousands of years .2. What does “our work” mean in the sentence “If we succeeded in abolishing nuclear weapons ,our work will not be done . ”in paragraph 1?A. Abolishing warB. Prohibiting new weaponsC. Reaching agreementsD. Making arbitration3. What is the author’s opinion of ideologies?A. He is an adherent of some modern ideologies.B. He does not believe ideologies can prevent war.C. He thinks that some ideologies might have effect.D. He has no doubt about the truth of ideologies.4. Which of following is a proper way to stop war?A. To destroy nuclear weaponsB. To let powerful men control the worldC. To improve modern weaponsD. To solve disputes through negotiation5. Which is the most severe threat to human beings?A. The conflicts among nationsB. The use of atomic bombC. The adoption of ideologiesD. The unsatisfactory agreementsPassage TwoA plan is needed for the World Trade Center site but not a big plan. There are times forbuilding Central Park, and there are times for remedial gardening. Lower Manhattan should not be remade according to some new grand vision. A framework needs to be put in place and some principles agreed on, and city life will take its course. “There is no rush” is a phrase often heard in discussion of the site. Actually, there is a rush, because there’s a reason why most cities struck by disaster-natural or man-made-generally end up rebuilding more or less what was there before. The reason is not a lack of imagination or will. Rather, while the planners and architects are thoughtfully discussing the options, decisions are being made on ground. There is infrastructure to be repaired, fire hydrants to be reconnected, materials to be transported, neighborhood to be knitted back together. And in the absence of a new plan, the old street pattern emerges by default .And soon it’s too late: the blank slate is no longer blank. Yes, the World Trade Center site offers a rare opportunity, as many have been pointed out, but the window of opportunity will not stay open long. There is no immediate pressure to build a lot of office space, since it’s as yet unclear how strong the demand will be and how the current upswing will affect New York. But other things can not wait. Subway tunnels will be rebuilt, stations will be reopened. Damaged infrastructure will be repaired. The destroyed electrical substation will have to be put back into operation. But doesn’t planning take time? Not as much as many people believe. Urban buildings are remarkably durable. We got it right at a long time ago which is why an old city, like London, Rome and Istanbul, often remains a delight.There appears to be agreement among most architects and planners about what should be done on the World Trade Center site. To begin with, New York should not simply replace the destroyed towers with new ones, even if they are lower. The 16-acre site is a so-called super block, the result of a misbegotten theory of 1960’s city planning that replacing streets and sidewalks with windswept plazas was a sign of progress. We have since learned rather, relearned that urban life thrives on streets and sidewalks. So we should put them back. Not that we need to recreate the pre-trade-center street grid in its entirety, but a north-south street would be useful, and so would at least one cross-town road. Fulton Street, for example, could be extended to Battery Park City. There is also an opportunity here to unravel some of the knotted transit issues that bedevil this part of Manhattan.6. From the passage, we can infer that the word “vision” in paragraph 1 means__________A. a beautiful siteB. the ability to seeC. conceptD. foresight7. What’s the most important reason for making the reconstructing decision?A. The old infrastructure.B. The connection with the neighborhoodC. The practical situationD. The effect of current economic upward trend8. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The blank slate is no longer blankB. The rare opportunity we haveC. The principle of good city buildingD. We must work out the proper plan to remark WTC.9. According to the passage, why is it useful to build a north-south road?A. Because there was a north-south road in Washington D.C..B. Because a north-south road can solve some traffic knots.C. Because it’s the result of the theory of 1960’s city planning.D. Because people need a north-south road to enjoy the beauty of Washington D.C..10. Which one can be the best title for the passage ?A. A Big Plan for the Rebuilding of WTC.B. No idea for the Rebuilding of WTC.C. What Should Be Done on the WTC Site.D. The New WTC Site Has Been Chosen.Passage ThreeRead the following passage and then answer the questions given:Last Thursday an ld gentleman came to our class to talk about the evils of smoking. We saw him take his gold wrist-watch off and lay it on the table. Slater and I can’t remember what he said about smoking because we had other things to think about. He finished when the bell rang for play-time, and the headmaster told us to go out. Slater happened to slip by the table…In the playground Slater showed me the watch. He put it on his wrist, and it looked lovely. I was wishing that I had been the one to slip by the table. The headmaster came out then with the old fellow. They walked about, looking around and talking all the time. After a bit the bell rang, and we got into our lines, ready to go in.The headmaster said, “I’ve got a little job for you boys. Our lecturer has just lost his watch in the playground. It’s happened before, he says—it just slips off his wrist. So look around for it, will you? See if you’re clever enough to find it. I’ve no doubt the boy who does so will get a useful reward.”We all walked about the playground, looking for the watch. And I wasn’t a bit surprised when Slater bent down as if he was picking something up. Then he hurried past me towards the old man. And the next minute there was Slater, all smiles, handing over the watch to the old fellow and hanging about for the reward. But the lecturer didn’t seem at all pleased. In fact he looked quite to put a knife in Slater’s heart until the headmaster burst out laughing. Then they both laughed. Slater told me afterwards that the old man hadn’t even said “Thank you for the watch.”The thing that puzzled us most of all was that Slater didn’t get any reward.11. What might the two boys be doing during the lecture?12. Why did the story-teller wish that he had been the one to slip by the table?13. When Slater “bent down”, what was he trying to do?14. What was the purpose of the promised reward?15. What do you think made the headmaster burst out laughing?Passage FourRead the following passage and then fill in the blanks to finish each of the sentences: Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to fly more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of dr iving somewhere we’ve never been before. S urrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real notion of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads on a string, they blend together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day--to stoptime, so to speak.Learning something new is another way to slow the passage of time. One of the reason the days of our youth seem so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery.16. The passage is meant to explain why time flies and how to ____________.17. According to the passage, when people live an identical and routine life, time seems to__________.18. The quotation in the first paragraph is used to indicate __________ between physical time andpsychological time .19. The learning of something __________ does not make time seem to flow more rapidly .20. Near the end of the fourth paragraph, the word “novelty ” could be best replaced by ________.四．Identify the underlined part which is not correct in each of the followingsentences (每⼩题1分，共计10分):1. The two brothers have not met their parents since more than a year.A B C D2. Susan is always absent-minded while operating the machine: she ’ll have to pay it.A B C D3.

This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it’s quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years.Researchers say there’re three different kinds of loneliness. The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappear quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind, situational loneliness, is a result of a particular situation – for example, a family problem, or the death of a loved one. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doe not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic (长期的) loneliness lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there’s little they can do to improve their condition. Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad dangerouscondition. （10分）31.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his l uggage.―What’s wrong with this girl?‖ He said, ―Why doesn’t she hurry up?‖ He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat. Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?‖The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

But many large well-known companies hire new people frequently without putting advertisements in newspapers, because they already have many resumes on file. Therefore, it is not always best to apply only to companies that place ads in newspapers. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letter to a well-known company even if a position is not then open. He can follow up with a telephone call to inquire if his resume has been received and if any jobs are available. If the company has not a job at that time, he can ask that they keep his material on file and contact him in the future when something is available.Sometimes if a company is not hiring at the time, a letter explaining that a position is not currently available will be sent. If a person sends a letter and resume to a company that is not then hiring and later sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a job with that company, he should call the company to make certain they have his material on file and will consider him for the position. So, a person has nothing to lose and everything to gain by sending in his resume. （10分）41.

When people are looking for jobs, what should send to companies, according to the passage? （2分）A.A resume and recent photos.B.A cover letter and an application.C.A resume and a cover letter.D.Only a phone call.44. If you send your resume to a company that isn’t hiring at the time, what might the compan y do? （2分）A.The company might call you and tell you that they have no positions now.B.The company might hire you anyway.C.The company will not write back because they are not interested in you.D.The company might write back and tell you that there are no positions available at the time.45.

Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary (金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements (刺激) indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can fo cus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challengingproblems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. （10分）(1) Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ________. （2分） A.the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B.the amount of monetary rewards for student’creativity C.the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D.the effects of external rewards on students’performance ★标准答案：D(2) What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students? （2分）A.They have no doubts about them.B.They have doubts about them.C.They approve of them.D.They avoid talking about them. ★标准答案：B(3) Which of the following can best raise students’creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? （2分） A.Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B.Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C.Giving them rewards they really deserve. D.Giving them rewards they anticipate. ★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe ________. （2分）A.rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of studentsB.punishment is more effective than rewardingC.failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standardsD.discouraging the students’ anticipation for easy rewards i s a matter of urgency ★标准答案：A(5) The phrase “token economies”(Line 1, Para. 5) probably refers to ________. （2分）A.ways to develop economyB.systems of rewarding studentsC.approaches to solving problemsD.methods of improving performance★标准答案：B2. Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps. The pay was low, it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（烟灰）behind and have some fun. The sweeps’holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham. The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade. When the Climbing Boys’ Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade. The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival. The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian. He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today — an excellent performance of traditional Britain.Gordon researched the Sweeps’tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams. In time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remainedactively involved. Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon（簧风琴）for several Morris teams. Doug Hudson is the festival’s music director, a role he has held for many years. Through Gordon’s vision and hard work, Doug’s musical ability and the council’s help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country. （10分）(1) According to the writer, chimney sweeps ____________. （2分） A.were highly respected B.were well rewarded C.led a hard life in the past D.worked in good conditions★标准答案：C(2) Medway’s Sweeps Festival ____________. （2分） A.has been organized by the Jack-in-the-Green B.dated back to the May celebration in the early 1900s C.is held to honor those chimney sweeps every other year D.has become a time for chimney sweeps to enjoy themselves★标准答案：D(3) The underlined word “revive”in the 4th paragraph most probably means ___________. （2分）A.realizeB.reviewC.recreateD.recognize★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that ____________. （2分） A.the festival has never been supported by the local government B.The festival is a good way to see British folk customs in action C.youngsters has been forbidden to be chimney sweeps since 1981 D.the modern festival lasts five days celebrating the coming of spring★标准答案：B(5) What is the passage mainly concerned about? （2分） A.Sweeps Festival historyB.Medway’s traditional holidaysC.Climbing Boys’Act 1868D.a procession in Rochester★标准答案：A3. Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in1954.What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on hour keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy (黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry andclean.

A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present< sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies. （10分）(1) The phrase “be brought forward”(Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ________. （2分）A.be expectedB.be completedC.be advancedD.be introduced★标准答案：C(2) Some scientists believe that a breakthrough in the use of solar energy depends on ________.A.sufficient fundingB.further experimentsC.advanced technologyD.well-equipped laboratories ★标准答案：A(3) According to Mr. Gretz, the present sum of money will enable the scientists to provide ________. （2分）A.more than 3 ~, 6 of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000B.only 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000C.less than 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000D.3% of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000 ★标准答案：C(4) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （2分） A.The EEC spends one billion pounds on imported energy each year. B.At the present level of research spending, it is difficult to make any significant progress in the provision of energy from the sun.C.The desired breakthrough could be obtained by the end of the next decade if investment were increased.D.The total yearly spending of the EEC on solar energy research amounted to almost 6 million. ★标准答案：A(5) The application of advanced technology to research in solar energy ________. （2分）A.would lead to a big increase in research fundingB.would make it unnecessary to import oilC.would make it possible to meet the future energy needs of the EECD.would providea much greater proportion of the Community’s future energy needs ★标准答案：D三. 完型填空（共10题,共15分）1. {Today the car is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States.
