11、Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three 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 with a

12、single line through the center. 15 How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀 ) ? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the b

13、est ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet mi

14、ght report back about our way of life. “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens round its young peoples wrists so

15、 that everywhere men go they are still under its control This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves. “ Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain m

16、en were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of tell

17、ing the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest ex

18、amples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future prof

23、s also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two thirds of the worlds population live within eighty kilometers of the sea coast.

24、 In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to satisfy many needs for man in the future. The riches of the sea yet to be developed by mans technology are impressive. Oil an

25、d gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as, iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor. Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm tem-perature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may a

26、lso offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind. Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources

31、 the middle of the 215. century. 26 Though some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls (民意测验 ) . Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are emplo

32、yed in type of work more suitable for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. They argue that women-especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency. To solve the proble

33、m, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better. The suggestion has been reje

34、cted by 9 out of 10 people polled. A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last summer. Out of 50 women, 46 said they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was. The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters.

35、 Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for themselves. Some other people have suggested another way called “phased employment theory“. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months preg

36、nant (妊娠 ) and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society. Some of those polled, both women

37、 and men, felt the idea is a good one. It definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to home forever. 26 Some union officials have suggested that women should return home because _. （ A） all of them are employed in unsuitable types of work （ B） most skilled male wor

38、kers are now unemployed （ C） their participation in work has a bad influence on the economic development （ D） nowadays no one can take care of children except women 27 Some union officials have suggested that if women resign their jobs, _. （ A） they should be allowed to attend school to be trained （

40、sed by most men and women （ B） welcomed by men only （ C） welcomed by women only （ D） welcomed by men and women 29 From the passage we can see “phased employment“ means _. （ A） two or more women share the same job （ B） women stay at home on weekdays and go to work on weekends or holidays （ C） a woman

41、 should resign her job forever if she has a child （ D） women are allowed to take leave from their jobs during their childbearing years 30 According to the “phased employment theory“, during a womans leave from her job _. （ A） her work should be done by her husband or brothers （ B） either her husband

42、 or her brothers will be given double wages （ C） her family can still keep the same level of income （ D） her familys income level will be a little lower than it normally is 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
