11、 this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line throw the center. Passage one As world population becomes denser, we will feel
12、greater pressure from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately, and they feel we should turn to compulsory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, th
13、e future of mankind would be seriously jeopardized (危害). They think that very intelligent people would be more likely to have fewer children and this would bring about a lowering of the general level of intelligence in the population as a whole. However, some critics see a fallacy in this argument.
14、In addition to genetics, they say, intelligence depends on an adequate diet, a good home environment, parental attention, and education- all of which are increasing in the world as the general population becomes more affluent. 16. Some people think birth control is _. A. too strict B. not a workable
15、 idea C. dangerous D. only for religious people 17. Critics say intelligence is based on _ . A. a good home environment B. adequate C. genetics D. all of the above 18. The word “fallacy” probably means _. A. False idea B. Different idea C. Unique idea D. Dangerous idea 19. Which of the following sta
16、tements is NOT true?A. The whole world is faced with the problem of increasing population. B. Some scientists argued that birth control can affect the level of intelligence C. Genetics is one of the main factors to intelligence D. Food, family attention and education have nothing to do with intellig
17、ence 20. What is this passage mainly about?A. Birth control B. How to develop intelligence C. Population and intelligence D. The importance of genetics Passage two It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming te
18、rrible. You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule. Perhaps we need a campaign calling for “Be Kind to Other Drivers”, otherwise, it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sens
19、e too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of the driver to resist the temptation to revenge when treated rudely. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tension of driving. A friendly nod or wave in response to an act of politeness helps to create an
20、 atmosphere of goodwill. Tolerance is absolutely necessary in modern traffic condition. But such politeness is very rare today. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem to recognize politeness when they see it. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me that it would help if motorist learn t
21、o drive correctly into traffic streams without causing the total blockages 拥堵 that may give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more g
22、ive-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 21. According to the passage, troubles on the road are mainly caused by _. A. peoples attitude towards driver B. the rhythm of modern life C. traffic condition D. the behavior of the driver 22. The sentenc
23、e “You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule.” Implies that _. A. our society is unjust to well-mannered driver. B. rude drivers can be met only occasionally C. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motor
24、ists D. the well-mannered motorists cannot tolerate the rude driver. 23. By “good sense” (para 2.) the writer means _. A. the drivers prompt response to difficult conditions B. the drivers ability to understand and react politely C. the drivers tolerance of bad road conditions D. the drivers acknowl
25、edge of traffic regulations 24. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, _. A. drivers should be ready to yield to one another. B. road users should make more sacrifices C. drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to others D. drivers should have more
26、 communication among others 25. In the writers opinion, _. A. drivers should apply road politeness properly B. strict traffic regulations are badly needed C. rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punished D. drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams Passage three What do we mean by a sa
27、tisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and educ
28、ation facilities. We may think of all these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future
29、expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standards of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in some countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, cloth
