Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, num

32、bered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 99 The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is lim

33、ited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for s

34、pecialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a world - wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth

35、 vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of governmen

36、t to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society, the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing dec

37、lines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. 99 A small population may mean _. （ A） higher product

38、ivity, but a lower average income （ B） lower productivity, but a higher average income （ C） lower productivity, and a lower average income （ D） higher productivity, and a higher average income 100 According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _. （ A） agriculture （

39、 B） transport system （ C） industry （ D） national economy 101 In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _. （ A） goes up （ B） is decreasing （ C） remains stable （ D） is out of control 102 According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for _. （ A） a de

40、veloping nation （ B） a developed nation （ C） every nation with a big p6pulation （ D） every nation with a small nation 103 It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because _. （ A） there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world （ B） underdeveloped

41、countries have low level of industrial development （ C） different governments have different views of the question （ D） even developed countries may have complex problems Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 104 All

42、of us communicate with one another verbally (口头的 ) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that were doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone elses eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered that there is a s

43、ystem to them almost as consistent (一致的 ) and comprehensible as language. Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. They conclude a q

44、uestion with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within a ce

45、rtain idiom. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often its a case of “not what he said but the way he said it.“ Experts in th

46、e study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patterns in the co

47、ntext, not for an isolated meaningful gesture. 104 Which of the following is NOT a way of non-verbal communications according to the fnst paragraph? （ A） Waving a hand. （ B） Making eye contact. （ C） Changing positions in a chair. （ D） Crying in a low voice. 105 According to researchers, peoples gest

48、ures are _ . （ A） incidental （ B） comprehensible （ C） isolated （ D） precise 106 All of the following statements are true of Americans EXCEPT _ . （ A） start a question with widened eyes （ B） have their forward movements in future-tense verbs （ C） cross their legs in a different way that Englishmen do （ D） tend to lower their eyelids to conclude a statement 107 In paragraph 3, which of the following does NOT influe
