Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SH

29、EET 1. 45 The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy m

30、achines that serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure. In addition, much of the worlds economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the worlds paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of e

31、very six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction. In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, wate

32、r, land, and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives. Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed

33、by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250 000 people - as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - and injure or permanently disable 10 million more. Half of the worlds people will be involved in an auto accident at some time du

34、ring their lives. Since the automobile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways - about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all US wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annu

35、ally in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses. Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger. Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producin

36、g a haze of smog over the worlds cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the countrys air pollution. 46 Cars represent peoples _. （ A） occupation （ B） wealth （ C） life style （ D） fame 47 According to the passage, the average number of people killed annually in traffic accidents ar

37、ound the world is _. （ A） 18 million （ B） 250 000 （ C） 10 million （ D） 60 billion 48 A serious environmental problem resulting from automobiles is _. （ A） tragic loss of life （ B） traffic jams （ C） air pollution （ D） mental stress 49 It can be inferred from this passage that automobiles _. （ A） are

38、an important part of the worlds economy （ B） are becoming less dangerous （ C） will produce less air pollution in the future （ D） are killing more people in recent years than in the past 50 The title that suits the passage best is _. （ A） Automobile and Economy （ B） Automobile and the Environment （ C

39、） The Problems with the Automobile （ D） Advantages and Disadvantages of the Automobile 50 Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employees and t

40、he self-employed. Labor is one of the countrys resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population, there are several other aspects which also affect it.

41、The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old m work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution. If the populati

42、on grows rapidly from natural increase, i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths, then as a total population increase the proportion in the workforce declines. Sometimes a population is described as aging, which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowl

43、y, and as people retire from the workforce there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births

44、or a falling birth rate. The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the

45、ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hospitals, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax rec

46、eipts are relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily. 51 Labor force is composed of _. （ A） people who are available to work and earn income （ B） self-employed people only （ C） only those who are looking for an emplo

47、yment （ D） only the employees 52 The factor which does NOT influence the size of the workforce is _. （ A） the size of population （ B） age distribution of the population （ C） national economy （ D） natural increase 53 The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _. （ A） a

48、 population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the workforce （ B） a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce （ C） the larger the number of the aged in a population, the higher the proportion of the workforce （ D） if the population has an

49、evenly spread age distribution, the workforce will be lower 54 When a population is said to be aging, _. （ A） more people are retiring than people entering the workforce （ B） the birth rate is growing rapidly （ C） there is an oversupply of workforce （ D） young people outnumber old people 55 The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _. （ A） the government （ B） the economy （ C） the w
