The figures and stat

10、istics should remind us of the fact that industrial safe operation must under- go a thorough overhaul. Why is the occurrence of accidents still increasing despite much governmental effort? To begin with, many working units lack or even do not have rules and regulations concerning safe operation. As

11、a consequence, accidents happen frequently. What“s more, many people have no idea of safety. Most often, they ignore the relevant safety rules and regulations, and forget “safety first“. Last but not least important, up to now, our country do not have adequate safety supervision mechanism to impleme

12、nt national safety policy. On the whole, multi-factors have contributed to the present grim situation. In my view, effective and immediate measures should be taken to curb the rising of death accidents. Firstly, laws and regulations concerned must be set up to punish those who fail to carry out the

13、safety policy and award those who abide by the policy. Secondly, people should be educated to enhance their consciousness of safety. Thirdly, government departments and organizations at different levels must play a more active role in the national campaign of safety operation. In sum, safe operation

22、the pursuit of thinness. (3) Give your opinion. You should write 160200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. （分数：25.00）_正确答案：()解析：A Dangerous ConceptFor a long time, there has been a growing zest for thinness. The woman in the picture wants to become thinner. No wonder nowadays people, especially young g

23、irls, are longing to become slim. However, this pursuit of thinness may be quite dangerous. Usually, people try to get slim in the following ways: exercising, dieting and taking medication. It is true that proper exercises are good to build up the body and therefore good for the health. Yet in the s

24、trong desire to become thin in as short a time as possible, some people exercise excessively, which could do a lot of harm to their health. Many people have the wrong impression that dieting is the most effective way to lose weight. They skip breakfast and cut down heavily on lunch and supper. Some

25、people can live only on juice and fruits. As a result, they don“t get adequate nutrition and illnesses may follow. The most serious one could be a disease that causes the patient to throw up whatever is eaten. Medication may seem to be a good option. However, it would always have side effects. As a

26、matter of fact, they make people lose their appetite or cause digestive problems. Thus, none of the methods mentioned above is good for the health. While the loss of some weight may be good for your appearance, don“t lose it all at once, and don“t rely on dieting or medicine alone. Try a balanced di

Officer Grade A Highest Officer Grade E Lowest （分数：25.00）_正确答案：()解析：The column graph compares the proportion of men and women in executive positions in the ACME Oil Company for 12 months to June 1994. Approximately 72% of workers in the lowest executive positions of Officer Grade E a

29、re women. This is the highest percentage of women in any executive job categories in this company. In contrast, the lowest proportion of men is found in this category. As the executive position rises to a higher Officer Grade, the percentage of women decreases and the percentage of men increases. Th

30、is trend continues throughout the graph. The least difference between the percentage of men and women is found in a job category exists in the category of Officer Grade C, which is a middle executive position. Here women represented almost a half in this job category. In the highest executive positi

31、on of Grade A, women account only for 8% of the total. This figure stands in a striking contrast to the 92% of men in this job category. In conclusion, men occupy a greater percentage of high executive positions in ACNE Oil Company. In fact, the higher the executive position, the higher the percenta

32、ge of men represent in the category. In comparison, women“s representation is inversely proportional to men“s so that the higher the executive job category, the lower the percentage of women to be found.

34、5.00）_正确答案：()解析：One possible version: Noise PollutionThe cartoon shows another kind of pollution for us. Besides the air pollution, noise pollution is becoming a more and more serious problem, whether in cities or countryside. With the development of machines, noise has also increased greatly inthe

35、21 th century. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks and electric tools. TV sets and radios add up to 90 or 100 decibels, a certain unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal dialogue reaches 55 decibels; a plane goes to 100, and an ordinary train, reaching the station, can be twice as

36、 loud as the loudest plane. Disco music reaches about 118. At high decibels the car stops hearing sound, and pain starts. How terrible if things go on like this! It seems impossible to avoid all noises. But we can take measures to reduce noise. For example, many cities forbid cars pushing horn in the evening or in city centre Planting more trees is another way to relieve the pollution since trees help absorb sound. I hope the government will take more and more powerful steps to reduce noise so that people can live a peaceful life!
