(20) ___________________ ____________～ Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Before this century is over, scientists will have the technology to start a full-scale search of the universe for other Earths orbiting other suns and perhaps, harboring other life. New instruments (仪器) placed on the Hubble Space Telescope (望远镜) will finally give scientists the tools to take pictures of the space surrounding two stars less than 15 light years from Earth. These two stars are much like the sun, average-sized, relatively cool and of about the same age. Scientists calculate that if the stars have a Jupiter (木星)-like planet, at about the distance from the star that Jupiter is from the sun, it will probably be detected by using the new instruments. Some scientists believe that the key to finding a second Earth is to first find a second Jupiter. Planets the size of Jupiter, the largest in the solar system and almost one hundred times the size of Earth, would be much more easily noticed, and they 4 would suggest that the target star has other planets. Three planets already have been found, but they are in orbit around a pulsar (脉 冲星), a distant, rapidly rotating star that sends out powerful radio signals, but little light. The search for planets will concentrate on the ―life zone‖ around stars. These orbits would be where the heat from the central star is, enough to warm a planet, but not boil away water. More advanced cameras to aid in the search will be placed on the Hubble in 1999 and still other instruments will be attached in 2002 and 2005. Eventually, the search could involve instruments placed in areas in deep space where the gravity pull of the Earth doesn’t work. 21. The passage mainly deals with _____. a. the development of space technology b. the task of the Hubble Telescope c. the importance of the planet Jupiter d. the search for another life-bearing planet 22. The word ―harboring‖ (para. 1) most probably means _____. a. creating b. developing c. protecting d. keeping 23. The Hubble Space Telescope is most probably located _____. a. somewhere on Earth b. on board an airplane c. in space around the Earth d. in deep space beyond the Earth’s gravity 24. Jupiter-sized planets are preferable because _____. a. they may serve as a sign of life existence b. such planets are more likely to keep life on them c. planets of such size can easily be found in space d. they are usually at a favorable distance from their stars 25. Which conclusion can be made according to the passage? a. Liquid water is the most important condition of the life zone. b. Three planets have been found which might have life on them. c. Only medium-sized stars can have Earth-like planets. d. There surely exist other planets in space where life can be found. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: There was once a time long ago when children had a different way of life. Back during this time in history, the only thing that children need to learn was how to cope with the environment around them. They had to learn physical survival skills such as being careful with moving objects and drawing back when they neared something unsafe. They didn’t need to attend schools because they could learn everything from 5 the school of experience. The experience of their daily lives gave them enough education to survive during that less complex period. School was not necessary for them to learn about skills because their parents would teach them all they needed to know about obtaining their food and tilling (耕 作) the earth. Learning the basic surviving skills of how to feed oneself and grow food was the only thing most people needed to learn during that time period. Slowly, however, life became more complex, and people found the need to communicate with people in distant places. The world was expanding, and people need to communicate with people outside their little town or village for business or for personal reasons. Then, it became important that children learn to read and write. When money became the form of buying and selling, they needed to learn how to count and calculate. These things were fundamental (根本的) for children to know in order to survive in this more complicated world. And because these skills could not be learned from first-hand experience, schools became necessary to teach them these skills. Children were taught what are now called the three R’s , reading, writing and arithmetic (算 术). 26. Why didn’t children need formal schools for a long time? a. The teachers came to the children’s homes. b. Children were taught in small groups at home. c. Parents themselves would teach children the three R’s. d. The children acquired the information they needed by their personal experience. 27. What did children need to do in their earliest time mentioned by the writer? a. They needed to count and calculate money. b. They needed to hunt and farm. c. They needed to be careful with moving objects. d. They needed to read and write. 28. Which of the following facts urged children’s need for formal schooling? a. There was a growing need for communication with people far away and the use of money. b. Words and numbers were introduced. c. Farming then required the use of complex machines. d. The world economy made mass electronics communication very common. 29. The word ―first-hand‖ (paragraph 2) probably means ______. a. direct b. more important c. right-handed d. left-handed 30. What topic will probably be discussed next? a. The survival skills being taught by parents now. b. The importance of history. c. The increasingly complex skills taught in schools later. d. The problems with constructing new schools. 6 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: They met and courted(求爱)online. Less than three months later, Henk Hoope proposed to Sher Earle by e-mail and she accepted through her computer keyboard in suburban Maryland. He immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands on a fiance visa and, after a private ceremony before a justice of the peace, they started to get to know one another. Despite the fact that they had been in steady communication for months — exploring each other’s likes and dislikes and becoming intimate enough to marry — when they finally met face to face at a Baltimore airport, they had a lot more exploring and adjusting to do. It’s not that Henk and Sher were being the opposite, in fact. There are those cases where people mask deceptive (骗人的)— their true identity online to play psychological games, but these two were trying to represent themselves faithfully. The question that their relationship raises is: How authentically can people represent themselves through e-mail? Expert opinion varies. Some argue that as with any written communication — love letters, for example — e-mail is very thoughtful; a lot of time is put into accurately encoding feelings on the one end and carefully reading on the other. But love letters usually are exchanged after a relationship has had some time to ripen. In terms of initiating and carrying on a relationship online, says psychiatrist Esther Gwinnell, ―E-mail is totally devoid (没有……的) of social cues. It lacks facial movement, body language, even dress or handwriting. You can learn more from two minutes at a party than from months of e-mail communication.‖ This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it requires a lot of care to avoid disappointment later. Some people experiment with their identity online, both deliberately and unconsciously. It’s not uncommon, for instance, for someone with an introverted(内 向的)personality to be bolder online, or for people to be more playful than they normally would be face to face. MIT sociologist Sherry Turkle, author of Life on the Screen, sees such exploration as positive, an opportunity for personal growth. Indeed, she argues that the old notion of a real self and a virtual self is becoming outmoded(过时的)in our increasingly wired world. 31. Why should Henk and Sher start to get to know one another only after they got engaged? a. Because they wanted to explore each other’s likes and dislikes. b. Because they would keep steady communication with each other. c. Because they tried to become intimate enough to be husband and wife. d. Because they needed to understand and adjust to each other in real life. 32. How did Henk and Sher develop their romance? a. They courted online with their true identity. b. They played psychological games on line. c. They often went out on dates in person. 7 d. They exchanged love letters frequently be post. 33. Which of the following is true about Gwinnell’s words? a. People can transfer personal feelings by e-mail as well as by post. b. E-mail can convey emotional differences, like letter writing. c. E-mail lacks social cues in initiating and carrying on a relationship online. d. People can only enhance their personal relationship slowly in e-mail exchange without face-to-face feedback. 34. How does sherry Turkle think about people’s on-line experiment with their identity? a. It helps some people with introverted personalities to be bolder. b. It makes people become more playful than in their normal life. c. It enables people to forget about the old notion of a real self and a virtual self. d. It provides people with a kind of opportunity for their personal development. 35. What can you infer from the whole passage? a. People are likely to be deceived on the line since most people will mask their true identity. b. We can believe the reliability of on-line relationship as most people would represent themselves faithfully. c. It is difficult to develop human relationship through e-mail communication for lack of facial expressions and body language. d. People still have different opinions on the function of e-mail communication in developing human relationship.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: In the late 1980s there were about 17 to 21 million illiterate adults in the United States, along with several million more whose ability to read was minimal. The problem of extensive adult illiteracy first came to the attention of the United States government during World War I, when as many as 30 percent of the men enrolled into the armed forces were found to be either illiterate or barely able to read. In 1929, more than ten years after the war, President Herbert Hover created the United States Advisory Committee on National Illiteracy. With the beginning of the Great Depression the committee ceased to function, and little attention was paid to the problem until well after World War II. Since the 1960s adult illiteracy has become a focus of government and private institutional attention. The damage caused by the problem is not only the individual deprivation among those who cannot read. The consequences for society and the economy are enormous. The burden of welfare and unemployment benefits is huge, 17 and the costs of lost productivity are even greater. The increasing complexity of the economy and the need for specialized training in so many areas threaten to keep illiterates permanently out of the job market. Illiteracy tends to be passed from one generation to another, since adults who cannot read are unable to help their children learn to read. To fight adult illiteracy President Lyndon Johnson started the Adult Basic Education program in 1964. In addition to government assistance, there are hundreds of privately funded programs for teaching adults. Much adult training uses material that students need to know to get job certification. They want to know how to read want ads and how to fill out job applications. There is often no appreciation of reading for its own sake. 21. An illiterate adult is one _____. a. who has no schooling whatsoever b. who can not read at all c. who does not know how to teach their children d. who has not received any training in a job 22. When the Great Depression came, _____. a. President Hoover created a committee to fight illiteracy b. the number of illiterate people reached the highest in history c. the problem of illiteracy became all the more noticeable d. the committee to fight illiteracy in America stopped its work 23. All the following are the causes that made illiteracy the government’s focus of attention in the 1960s EXCEPT ______. a. the number of people who could not enjoy welfare b. the deprivation of individual happiness c. the denial of job opportunities to many illiterates d. the development in science and technology 24. In the mid 1960’s ______. a. the number of illiterates increased greatly b. the number of illiterate began to decline greatly c. the American government began to seriously fight illiteracy d. Private schools were set up to help the government to fight illiteracy 25. It can be seen that the early training programs for the illiterates _____. a. were very easy for them b. did not take them much time c. also focused on appreciation of reading d. were very practical and to the point Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: ―Time is a problem for kids,‖ states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries ―learn time slowly‖ because ―they don’t wear watches‖ 18 and ―parents don’t really know how to teach them time‖. The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults—and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course—it’s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company. The Flik Flak is being marketed as some teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course; it merely ―captures their imagination‖ by presenting the ―hour‖ hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the ―minute‖ hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding ―blue‖ minutes on the dial(表盘), while Flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time. The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it ―kidproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine‖. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may soon discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time. 26. From the news report we know that ______. a. parents are patient when teaching children time b. parents have little idea of how to teach children time c. children tend to learn time quickly d. children enjoy wearing the Flike Flak watch 7. Which of the following might the author disagree with? 2 a. children will certainly be on time if they have learnt how to tell time. b. a Flik Flak will not help parents teach their children how to tell time. c. the Flik Flak can capture children’s imagination. d. children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches. 28. The word ―handicap‖ (Para.1) means ______. a. displeasure b. discouragement c. disappointment d. disadvantage 29. ―Flik‖ and ―Flak‖ in the passage stand for ______. a. a tall boy and a beautiful girl b. the minute hand and the hour hand c. the Swiss watch company d. the designers of the watch 30. The United States sales manager calls the new watch ―kidproof‖ (Para. 3) because ______. a. it is designed to teach children to be on time b. it proves to be effective in teaching children time c. it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children d. it is the children’s favourite watch Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: 19 An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenses such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. ―If you make the child responsible for these bills,‖ says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, ―he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.‖ Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out. It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. ―If you lose your money,‖ Brooke’s mother told her, ―you walk home.‖ One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, and then she called home for ride. ―Mother made me walk home,‖ recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. ―At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.‖ Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily domestic work. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? a. How to develop a child’s initiative. b. How to work up an amount of pocket money. c. How to teach a child to save money. d. How to teach a child about money. 32. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may______. a. spend all the money very soon b. be spoiled and finally ruined c. feel responsible and careful about money d. lose the money and can not return home 33. The phrase ―his peers‖ (Para. 4) refers to which of the following? a. His parents. b. His teachers. c. His financial experts. d. His friends. 34. Why does the author mention Brooks Stephens? 20 a. To question the opinion about pocket money. b. To compare Stephens with other financial experts. c. To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about money. d. To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility. 35. The author implies in the passage that _______. a. paying children for their housework is not good b. a child’s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework c. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket money d.

(20) ___________________ ____________～ Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: The unchanging reality for most busy Chinese students is that during the regular university term there isn’t adequate time to carefully, and thoughtfully read through a full-length novel written in either English or Chinese. This is no surprise, for even British or American students find it nearly impossible to set aside the quiet, uninterrupted time required to read through a long novel. And that’s a shame, for novels are especially suited to provide students with fine examples of grammar, diverse vocabulary and varied styles of conversational English. Spring Festival is the ideal time to set a personal goal of reading an entire English language novel from cover to cover. Most university libraries have novels in English available to borrow during the holiday. Likewise, bookstores near college campuses typically sell reasonably priced books, including novels published in English. It is less important for a student to find the ―perfect‖ novel to read than it is to choose one and commit oneself to carefully reading it. Once a student sets the goal of reading in English during the holiday and then 30 finds a novel suited to his ability, there remains one further consideration. The greatest value for a Chinese student in reading through any English language novel comes from having a dictionary alongside, ready to look up unfamiliar words when they appear in the text. Nothing builds a powerful, diversified vocabulary as swiftly and promptly finding word meanings when they are first encountered in a book. The full sentence and even the complete paragraph surrounding any new word provide the context or framework for understanding new vocabulary so that it will be retained for future recall. Long, cold holiday afternoons are an excellent time to be reading, looking up new words, building an understanding of English, developing greater familiarity with international culture, and enjoying the powerful insights into human affairs which novels often provide. 21. How do students get English novels to read? a. They can borrow novels written in English from University libraries. b. They can buy cheap English books in bookstores near college campuses. c. They can find the perfect novel to read from other students. d. Both A and B. 22 Once a student sets the goal of reading in English during the holiday, what’s his next step to do? a. To have a good dictionary alongside. b. To look up unfamiliar words when they appear in the text. c. To find a novel which is suitable for him to read. d. To build a powerful, diversified vocabulary. 23. All the following words and expressions mean the same EXCEPT _____. a. entire b. from cover to cover c. full-length d. available 24. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of reading an English novel during the holiday? a. Students can build a better understanding of English. b. Students can find the perfect novel to read. c. Students can become more familiar with English culture. d. Students can have more insights into human affairs. 25. Which is the best title for the passage? a. To read an English novel during the holiday. b. To set a goal of reading in English. c. Spring Festival--- the ideal time to set personal goals. d. Long, cold holiday afternoons--- an excellent time for reading. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit (学分) which he may count 31 towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic (学术的) authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career. 26. Normally a student would at least attend _____ classes each week. a. 36 b. 12 c. 20 d. 15 27. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______. a. to live in a different university b. to take a particular course in a different university c. to live at home and drive to classes d. to get two degrees from two different universities 28. American university students are usually under pressure of future work because _____. a. their academic performance will affect their future careers b. they are heavily involved in student affairs c. they have to observe university discipline d. they want to run for positions of authority 29. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _____. a. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study b. they will then be able to stay longer in the university c. such positions will help them in their future work d. such positions are usually well paid 30. The student organizations seem to be effective in _____. a. dealing with the academic affairs of the university b. ensuring that the students observe university regulations 32 c. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court d. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: There was once a time long ago when children had a different way of life. Back during this time in history, the only thing that children need to learn was how to cope with the environment around them. They had to learn physical survival skills such as being careful with moving objects and drawing back when they neared something unsafe. They didn’t need to attend schools because they could learn everything from the school of experience. The experience of their daily lives gave them enough education to survive during that less complex period. School was not necessary for them to learn about skills because their parents would teach them all they needed to know about obtaining their food and tilling (耕 作) the earth. Learning the basic surviving skills of how to feed oneself and grow food was the only thing most people needed to learn during that time period. Slowly, however, life became more complex, and people found the need to communicate with people in distant places. The world was expanding, and people need to communicate with people outside their little town or village for business or for personal reasons. Then, it became important that children learn to read and write. When money became the form of buying and selling, they needed to learn how to count and calculate. These things were fundamental (根本的) for children to know in order to survive in this more complicated world. And because these skills could not be learned from first-hand experience, schools became necessary to teach them these skills. Children were taught what are now called the three R’s , reading, writing and arithmetic (算 术). 31. Why didn’t children need formal schools for a long time? a.

For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: In the late 1980s there about 17 to 21 million illiterate adults in the United States, along with several million more whose ability to read was minimal. The problem of extensive adult illiteracy first came to the attention of the United States government during World War I, when as many as 30 percent of the men enrolled into the armed forces were found to be either illiterate or barely able to read. In 1929, more than ten years after the war, President Herbert Hover created the United States Advisory Committee on National Illiteracy. With the beginning of the Great Depression the committee ceased to function, and little attention was paid to the problem until well after World War II. Since the 1960s adult illiteracy has become a focus of government and private institutional attention. The damage caused by the problem is not only the individual deprivation among those who cannot read. The consequences for society and the 43 economy are enormous. The burden of welfare and unemployment benefits is huge, and the costs of lost productivity are even greater. The increasing complexity of the economy and the need for specialized training in so many areas threaten to keep illiterates permanently out of the job market. Illiteracy tends to be passed from one generation to another, since adults who cannot read are unable to help their children learn to read. To fight adult illiteracy President Lyndon Johnson started the Adult Basic Education program in 1964. In addition to government assistance, there are hundreds of privately funded programs for teaching adults. Much adult training uses material that students need to know to get job certification. They want to know how to read want ads and how to fill out job applications. There is often no appreciation of reading for its own sake. 21. An illiterate adult is one _____. a. who has no schooling whatsoever b. who can not read at all c. who does not know how to teach their children d. who has not received any training in a job 22. When the Great Depression came, _____. a. President Hoover created a committee to fight illiteracy b. the number of illiterate people reached the highest in history c. the problem of illiteracy became all the more noticeable d. the committee to fight illiteracy in America stopped its work 23. All the following are the causes that made illiteracy the government’s focus of attention in the 1960s EXCEPT ______. a. the number of people who could not enjoy welfare b. the deprivation of individual happiness c. the denial of job opportunities to many illiterates d. the development in science and technology 24. In the mid 1960’s ______. a. the number of illiterates increased greatly b. the number of illiterate began to decline greatly c. the American government began to seriously fight illiteracy d. Private schools were set up to help the government to fight illiteracy 25. It can be seen that the early training programs for the illiterates _____. a. were very easy for them b. did not take them much time c. also focused on appreciation of reading d. were very practical and to the point Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: ―Time is a problem for kids,‖ states a news report for a new Swiss watch. 44 Children in some countries ―learn time slowly‖ because ―they don’t wear watches‖ and ―parents don’t really know how to teach them time‖. The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults—and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course—it’s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company. The Flik Flak is being marketed as some teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course; it merely ―captures their imagination‖ by presenting the ―hour‖ hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the ―minute‖ hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding ―blue‖ minutes on the dial(表盘), while Flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time. The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it ―kidproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine‖. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may soon discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time. 26. From the news report we know that ______. a. parents are patient when teaching children time b. parents have little idea of how to teach children time c. children tend to learn time quickly d. children enjoy wearing the Flike Flak watch 27. Which of the following might the author disagree with? a. children will certainly be on time if they have learnt how to tell time. b. a Flik Flak will not help parents teach their children how to tell time. c. the Flik Flak can capture children’s imagination. d. children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches. 28. The word ―handicap‖ (Para.1) means ______. a. displeasure b. discouragement c. disappointment d. disadvantage 29. ―Flik‖ and ―Flak‖ in the passage stand for ______. a. a tall boy and a beautiful girl b. the minute hand and the hour hand c. the Swiss watch company d. the designers of the watch 30. The United States sales manager calls the new watch ―kidproof‖ (Para. 3) because ______. a. it is designed to teach children to be on time b. it proves to be effective in teaching children time c. it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children d. it is the children’s favourite watch 45 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenses such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. ―If you make the child responsible for these bills,‖ says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, ―he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.‖ Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out. It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. ―If you lose your money,‖ Brooke’s mother told her, ―you walk home.‖ One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, and then she called home for ride. ―Mother made me walk home,‖ recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. ―At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.‖ Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily domestic work. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? a. How to develop a child’s initiative. b. How to work up an amount of pocket money. c. How to teach a child to save money. d. How to teach a child about money. 32. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance, he or she may______. a. spend all the money very soon b. be spoiled and finally ruined c. feel responsible and careful about money d. lose the money and can not return home 33. The phrase ―his peers‖ (Para. 4) refers to which of the following? a. His parents. b. His teachers. c. His financial experts. d. His friends. 46 34. Why does the author mention Brooks Stephens? a. To question the opinion about pocket money. b. To compare Stephens with other financial experts. c. To explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about money. d. To suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility. 35. The author implies in the passage that _______. a. paying children for their housework is not good b. a child’s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the housework c. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket money d.

For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: To most of us, the word" speech "means a method of communication based on the use of sounds produced by the throat, tongue, lips, etc. Of course, other communicative processes can be substituted under given conditions; writing, for instance, and gestures may adequately replace vocal intercourse when hearing is prevented and sounds cannot be received. Besides speech as we know it, and its substitutes, there exist a number of languages which have acoustic (有关声音的) bases but which nevertheless do not use vowels (元音)and consonants(辅音)as the sound material of speech. For example in La Gomera (one of the small and less-developed islands of the Canary Archipelago) the inhabitants can converse by means of articulated(发音的) whistles. For ordinary conversation they use normal spoken Spanish, but whenever distance makes speech inconvenient or impossible, they resort to the silbo, as this whistled form of speech is called. Gomera is of volcanic origin and exceedingly mountainous, and moving over such ground involves the expenditure of much time and energy. For this reason, the 56 silbo is of constant utility to Gomeros. A good whistler (silbador) will be heard and understood five miles or more away when conditions are favorable, that is, when there is little or no wind. The point is that a whistle is practically a pure tone of unchanging quality (the only significant variables are pitch and duration, so there are no weak overtones and transients to be lost) which, if perceived at all, will be understood. So the silbo scores over shouted speech in two major respects: articulation does not suffer in any way when an effort is made to increase loudness, as easily heard a thousand yards away as at close quarters; and it is superior to visual "codes" in that it is as rapid as spoken Spanish. 21. According to the passage, speech refers to ______. a. a substitute for oral communication b. a method of communication based on sounds c. the least convenient method of communication d. the only method of communication 22. It can be inferred from the passage that most languages have ______ as their sound material. a. vowels b. consonants c. vowels and consonants d. semi-vowels 23. Whenever distance makes speech impossible, the inhabitants of La Gomera communicate _____. a. by shouted speech b. by whistles c. by gestures d. by normal spoken Spanish 24. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage? a. La Gomera is one of the Canary Islands. b. A silbador can be heard and understood five miles or more away under favorable conditions. c. An effort to increase the 'loudness' of the silbo results in a lower degree of articulation. d. The silbo is superior to visual codes. 25. The author implies that ______. a. articulated whistle is a method of communication b. questions replace vocal intercourse c. whistle language is easily heard d. a language has an acoustic basis Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very large part of the world at large, live. Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others. It is also a way of telling people about the goods and services that are offered. If it were not for advertising, some goods information would never reach the ears of many people. Advertising helps a great deal to raise the people’s standard of living. In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial 57 (商业广告) on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes many other activities such as packaging, shop displays and even the spoken words of the salesman. After all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place. For many years it was thought that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in export markets. About 2 percent of the U. K. gross (总数) national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously unlikely that the article will sell well. 26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? a. Talking about advertising, one should not merely associate with commercials on TV and advertisements in newspapers and magazines. b. Without advertisements, people still can have the information of products through other forms of media. c. For a long time it has been understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources until they are sold at a certain price within certain time. d. A11 advertisements are trying to push goods to consumers who want them and who don't want them. 27. As a means of communication, advertising tells people of ______. a. the goods they produced b. the services they offered c. the only way to raise their standard of living d. the products and services being supplied 28. Which of the following is NOT a form of advertising? a. Commercials during the intervals of TV series. b. Well-designed packaging. c. Salesmen in the supermarkets. d. Shop displays in the window. 29. Advertising is essential ______. a. for goods to be sold in foreign countries b. for goods to be sold in other places within the country c. for goods to be sold in its production place d. all of the above 58 30. According to the passage, an article of goods will sell well as long as it has ______. a. standard quality b. just-so-so quality and good advertisements c. well designed advertisements d. both A and C Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: It has been shown that children who smoke have certain characteristics. Compared with non-smokers they are more rebellious, their work deteriorates (变坏) as they move up school, they are more likely to leave school early, and are more often delinquent (犯法的) and sexually precocious (早熟) . Many of these features can be summarized as anticipation of adulthood. There are a number of factors which determine the onset of smoking, and these are largely psychological and social. They include availability of cigarettes, curiosity, rebelliousness, anticipation of adulthood, social confidence, the example of parents and teachers, and smoking of friends and elder brothers and sisters. It should be much easier to prevent children from starting to smoke than to persuade adults to give up the habit once established, but in fact this has proved very difficult. The example set by people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance. School rules should forbid smoking by children on the premises (大楼及附属建筑物). This rule has been introduced at Summerhill School where I spent my schooldays. There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by corporal (肉体的) punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools. Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial. Teachers too should not smoke on school premises, at least not in front of children. 31. In this passage the author puts an emphasis on ______. a. the effect of smoking among children b. the difficulty in preventing children from smoking c. the reasons why children start smoking during childhood d. the measures to ban smoking among children 32. Which of the following is a common characteristic of young smokers? a. Disobedience. b. Laziness. c. Lack of intelligence. d. Selfishness 33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? a. Some children start to smoke out of curiosity. b. Many children start to smoke because they want to appear mature. c. In order to have fewer children smokers, parents, teachers and health care 59 workers should not smoke. d. It is not as difficult to prevent children from starting to smoke as to persuade adults from smoking. 34. The writer concludes that school rules to forbid smoking ______. a. should be introduced, for it really works at the school where he once studied. b. should not be introduced, for it rarely works at the school where he once studied. c. should be introduced though it may not work effectively. d. needn’t be introduced as long as teachers don’t smoke in front of children. 5. The author’s attitude in writing this article is _____. 3 a. objective b. emotional c. critical d. indifferent Part III Vocabulary and Structure Section A Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Then listen to the passage again. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 11 to 17 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 18 to 20 you are required to fill in the missing information. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. A young man went into a shop. He wanted to buy a (11) _________. He saw a watch that he (12) _________ very much, but the assistant charged (13) _________ dollars for it. At that time a boy came into the shop, (14) _________ the watch out of the assistant’s hand and ran (15) _________.

His friend took a look at the watch and said, (20) ______________. I think that they planned this together.‖ ―___________ Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: To most of us, the word" speech "means a method of communication based on the use of sounds produced by the throat, tongue, lips, etc. Of course, other communicative processes can be substituted under given conditions; writing, for instance, and gestures may adequately replace vocal intercourse when hearing is prevented and sounds cannot be received. Besides speech as we know it, and its substitutes, there exist a number of languages which have acoustic (有关声音的) bases but which nevertheless do not use vowels (元音)and consonants(辅音)as the sound material of speech. For example in La Gomera (one of the small and less-developed islands of the Canary Archipelago) the inhabitants can converse by means of articulated(发音的) whistles. For ordinary conversation they use normal spoken Spanish, but whenever distance makes speech inconvenient or impossible, they resort to the silbo, as this whistled form of speech is called. 69 Gomera is of volcanic origin and exceedingly mountainous, and moving over such ground involves the expenditure of much time and energy. For this reason, the silbo is of constant utility to Gomeros. A good whistler (silbador) will be heard and understood five miles or more away when conditions are favorable, that is, when there is little or no wind. The point is that a whistle is practically a pure tone of unchanging quality (the only significant variables are pitch and duration, so there are no weak overtones and transients to be lost) which, if perceived at all, will be understood. So the silbo scores over shouted speech in two major respects: articulation does not suffer in any way when an effort is made to increase loudness, as easily heard a thousand yards away as at close quarters; and it is superior to visual "codes" in that it is as rapid as spoken Spanish. 21. According to the passage, speech refers to ______. a. a substitute for oral communication b. a method of communication based on sounds c. the least convenient method of communication d. the only method of communication 22. It can be inferred from the passage that most languages have ______ as their sound material. a. vowels b. consonants c. vowels and consonants d. semi-vowels 23. Whenever distance makes speech impossible, the inhabitants of La Gomera communicate _____. a. by shouted speech b. by whistles c. by gestures d. by normal spoken Spanish 24. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage? a. La Gomera is one of the Canary Islands. b. A silbador can be heard and understood five miles or more away under favorable conditions. c. An effort to increase the 'loudness' of the silbo results in a lower degree of articulation. d. The silbo is superior to visual codes. 25. The author implies that ______. a. articulated whistle is a method of communication b. questions replace vocal intercourse c. whistle language is easily heard d. a language has an acoustic basis Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Although one might not think so from some of the criticism of it, advertising is essential to the kind of society in which people in the United Kingdom, and a very large part of the world at large, live. Advertising is necessary as a means of communicating with others. It is also a way of telling people about the goods and services that are offered. If it were not for advertising, some goods information would never reach the ears of many people. Advertising helps a great deal to raise the 70 people’s standard of living. In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial (商业广告) on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes many other activities such as packaging, shop displays and even the spoken words of the salesman. After all, the roots of advertising are to be found in the market place. For many years it was thought that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is essential that we go out and sell what we have to offer, and advertising plays an important role in this respect, whether selling at home or in export markets. About 2 percent of the U. K. gross (总数) national product is spent on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Of course, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article purchased does not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously unlikely that the article will sell well. 26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? a. Talking about advertising, one should not merely associate with commercials on TV and advertisements in newspapers and magazines. b. Without advertisements, people still can have the information of products through other forms of media. c. For a long time it has been understood that the production of goods is a waste of resources until they are sold at a certain price within certain time. d. A11 advertisements are trying to push goods to consumers who want them and who don't want them. 27. As a means of communication, advertising tells people of ______. a. the goods they produced b. the services they offered c. the only way to raise their standard of living d. the products and services being supplied 28. Which of the following is NOT a form of advertising? a. Commercials during the intervals of TV series. b. Well-designed packaging. c. Salesmen in the supermarkets. d. Shop displays in the window. 29. Advertising is essential ______. a. for goods to be sold in foreign countries b. for goods to be sold in other places within the country 71 c. for goods to be sold in its production place d. all of the above 30. According to the passage, an article of goods will sell well as long as it has ______. a. standard quality b. just-so-so quality and good advertisements c. well designed advertisements d. both A and C Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: It has been shown that children who smoke have certain characteristics. Compared with non-smokers they are more rebellious, their work deteriorates (变坏) as they move up school, they are more likely to leave school early, and are more often delinquent (犯法的) and sexually precocious (早熟) . Many of these features can be summarized as anticipation of adulthood. There are a number of factors which determine the onset of smoking, and these are largely psychological and social. They include availability of cigarettes, curiosity, rebelliousness, anticipation of adulthood, social confidence, the example of parents and teachers, and smoking of friends and elder brothers and sisters. It should be much easier to prevent children from starting to smoke than to persuade adults to give up the habit once established, but in fact this has proved very difficult. The example set by people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance. School rules should forbid smoking by children on the premises (大楼及附属建筑物). This rule has been introduced at Summerhill School where I spent my schooldays. There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by corporal (肉体的) punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools. Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial. Teachers too should not smoke on school premises, at least not in front of children. 31. In this passage the author puts an emphasis on ______. a. the effect of smoking among children b. the difficulty in preventing children from smoking c. the reasons why children start smoking during childhood d. the measures to ban smoking among children 32. Which of the following is a common characteristic of young smokers? a. Disobedience. b. Laziness. c. Lack of intelligence. d. Selfishness 33. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? a. Some children start to smoke out of curiosity. 72 b. Many children start to smoke because they want to appear mature. c. In order to have fewer children smokers, parents, teachers and health care workers should not smoke. d. It is not as difficult to prevent children from starting to smoke as to persuade adults from smoking. 34. The writer concludes that school rules to forbid smoking ______. a. should be introduced, for it really works at the school where he once studied. b. should not be introduced, for it rarely works at the school where he once studied. c. should be introduced though it may not work effectively. d. needn’t be introduced as long as teachers don’t smoke in front of children. 35. The author’s attitude in writing this article is _____. a. objective b. emotional c. critical d. indifferent Part III Vocabulary and Structure Section A Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them. If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steelworker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market. When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas station, and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market. The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or business who is making and selling something, it’s very real. If nobody buys your 82 tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It’s telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do. 21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? a. Selling and Buying. b. What Is the Market? c. Everything You Do Is Producing for the Market. d. What the Market Can Do for You? 22. All of the following acts are producing for the market EXCEPT _____. a. working in a bank b. printing a book c. attending a night school d. growing beans for sale 23.

In what way is the market very real for each person or business who is making and selling something? a. It tells you what to produce. b. It tells you how to grow tomatoes. c. It provides you with everything you need. d. It helps you save money. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Tajiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智 能) and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract (收缩) with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties (功能). Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds. 83 Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Mays Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. ―Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.‖ . The team of doctors wanted to find out ______. 26 a. why certain people age sooner than others b. how to make people live longer c. the size of certain people’s brains d. which people are most intelligent 27. On what are their research findings based? a. A survey of farmers in northern Japan. b. Tests performed on a thousand old people. c. The study of brain volumes of different people. d. The latest development of computer technology. . The doctor’s tests show that _____. 28 a. our brains shrink as we grow older b. the front section of the brain does not shrink c. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds d. some people’s brains have contracted more than other people’s 29.

According to the passage, which people seem to age more slowly than the others? a. Lawyers. b. Farmers c. Clerks. d. Shop assistants. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. 84 Allow for entertainment expenses such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. ―If you make the child responsible for these bills,‖ says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, ―he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.‖ Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out. It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. ―If you lose your money,‖ Brooke’s mother told her, ―you walk home.‖ One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, and then she called home for ride. ―Mother made me walk home,‖ recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. ―At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.‖ Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily domestic work. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? a. How to develop a child’s initiative. b.

For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: There was once a time long ago when children had a different way of life. Back during this time in history, the only thing that children need to learn was how to cope with the environment around them. They had to learn physical survival skills such as being careful with moving objects and drawing back when they neared something 95 unsafe. They didn’t need to attend schools because they could learn everything from the school of experience. The experience of their daily lives gave them enough education to survive during that less complex period. School was not necessary for them to learn about skills because their parents would teach them all they needed to know about obtaining their food and tilling (耕 作) the earth. Learning the basic surviving skills of how to feed oneself and grow food was the only thing most people needed to learn during that time period. Slowly, however, life became more complex, and people found the need to communicate with people in distant places. The world was expanding, and people need to communicate with people outside their little town or village for business or for personal reasons. Then, it became important that children learn to read and write. When money became the form of buying and selling, they needed to learn how to count and calculate. These things were fundamental (根本的) for children to know in order to survive in this more complicated world. And because these skills could not be learned from first-hand experience, schools became necessary to teach them these skills. Children were taught what are now called the three R’s , reading, writing and arithmetic (算 术). 21. Why didn’t children need formal schools for a long time? a. The teachers came to the children’s homes. b. Children were taught in small groups at home. c. Parents themselves would teach children the three R’s. d. The children acquired the information they needed by their personal experience. 22. What did children need to do in their earliest time mentioned by the writer? a. They needed to count and calculate money. b. They needed to hunt and farm. c. They needed to be careful with moving objects. d. They needed to read and write. 23. Which of the following facts urged children’s need for formal schooling? a. There was a growing need for communication with people far away and the use of money. b. Words and numbers were introduced. c. Farming then required the use of complex machines. d. The world economy made mass electronics communication very common. 24. The word ―first-hand‖ (paragraph 2) probably means ______. a. direct b. more important c. right-handed d. left-handed 25. What topic will probably be discussed next? a. The survival skills being taught by parents now. b. The importance of history. c. The increasingly complex skills taught in schools later. 96 d. The problems with constructing new schools. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea. The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produced there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizers cannot restore the balance. Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter (垃圾) and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or more times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are sold in bottles or tins which can not be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excessive consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives. 26. The main cause of pollution is ______. a. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment b. the production of new industrial goods c. increased amounts of a natural substance d. our ever increasing population 27. In the writer’s view, the more new goods we have, _____. a. the less pollution b. the harder pollution can be prevented 97 c. the more pollution there will be d. the more easily pollution can be controlled 28. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only _____. a. people would pay more attention to the problem b. government would take effective measures c. all sides concerned would make more efforts d. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers 29. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _____. a. air and water pollution b. both a litter problem and a waste of resources c. excess consumption d. unnecessary buying 30. People can help solve the problem of pollution by _____. a. urging their government to control litter and waste b. making anti-pollution advertisements c. cutting down the use of oil and other oil products d. reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: An allowance is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenses such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. ―If you make the child responsible for these bills,‖ says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, ―he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.‖ Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out. It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. ―If you lose your money,‖ Brooke’s mother told her, ―you walk home.‖ One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, and then she called home for ride. ―Mother made me walk home,‖ recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. ―At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.‖ 98 Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily domestic work. Kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative. 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? a. How to develop a child’s initiative. b.
