14、r use drugs are mainly influenced by both their parents and peer pressure.Other reasons they take that first drink are to be rebellious(反抗的), for curiosity or “kicks“ (刺激)or to escape an unpleasant environment; And young people drink use drugs because alcohol(酒精) and drugs are at hand.After first ex

15、perimental use, young people continue to drink or use drugs because they believe these substances can relieve boredom, increase energy, decrease anxiety, solve problems, or help them socially.

He had a long rope which went over a pulley(滑轮) at the roof of the building. The othe

21、r end was fastened to a big box.First he pulled the box up to the top of the building, and fastened the end of the rope so that the box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bri

22、cks was heavier than the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the: rope. Half-way up, the box of bricks hit him as it was coming down.When he reached the top, his head hit the pulley. The box of bricks hit the ground and broke. As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the m

23、an and consequently he began to come down and the box began to go up.Half-way up, the box hit the man. The man still held on to the rope and the box therefore Continued to go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let go the rope to rub his head. The box, of course, then fell down and hit the

27、he man fell down and broke his legs.七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：15.00)The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance or the ecological(生态的)balance as it is kn

28、own. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed(处理) of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people therefore see pollu

29、tion as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others 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 popul

30、ation. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizers(人造肥料) cannot bring back the balance.Whatever is underlying(潜在的)reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies

31、, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter(杂乱的废物)and waste. Food is wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only cau

32、ses 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 to buy things we dont want to buy. Pollution and waste continue to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying

33、, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.（分数：15.00）(1).The main cause of pollution is_.（分数：3.75）A.the production of new industrial goodsB.increased amounts of unnatural substanceC.our ever-increasing populationD.the release of artificial substances into th

34、e environment(2).In the writers view, the more new goods there are,_.（分数：3.75）A.the less pollution we haveB.the harder pollution can be done away withC.the more pollution there will beD.the more easily pollution can be controlled(3).Many people see pollution as only. part of_.（分数：3.75）A.the environm

35、ental balanceB.our daily lifeC.the consumption of goods by manD.the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods(4).People can help solve the problem of pollution by_.（分数：3.75）A.urging their governments to control litter and wasteB.cutting down the use of oil and other oil product

36、sC.reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastesD.making anti-pollution advertisements八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men. The gap between male and femal

37、e incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies. Its also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in ran industry, the lower the average wages.Why do women earn less than men do? Can the

38、 differences be explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene(干预), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women, on the average, have ch

39、osen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained.

40、 It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An inc

41、rease in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus (过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.（分数：15.00）(1)

42、.Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because_.（分数：3.75）A.there are more than enough women in the labor forceB.women have more freedom in selecting jobsC.women are only provided with low-paid jobsD.women are less experienced than men(2).Which of the following CANNOT be inferred fr

43、om the second paragraph?（分数：3.75）A.Levels of education are closely related to productivity.B.Women are not as productive as men.C.Women receive less education than men.D.Goods produced by men are not as good as those by women.(3).What does the author suggest that the government should do for women w

44、orkers?（分数：3.75）A.To ensure equal pay for women.B.No solution is clearly suggested.C.To explain why women are paidless.D.To force employers to hire more women.(4).What would happen if womens wages were raised?（分数：3.75）A.The imput of labor would be increased.B.The unemployment rate would go up.C.Thos

45、e who have jobs would all become better off.D.Women as a group would earn more than befor九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as

46、 the smallest states: of America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then gives an answer. For example, p

47、eople on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in

48、some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme Round Robin Talks by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk

49、about who was going away and who was iii. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.（分数：15.00）(1).In the passage “the two-way radio“ is_.（分数：3.75）A.important to AmericansB.useful for children onlyC.used as a telephoneD.only used by doctors(2).The children on the large farms far away_.（分数
