11、e 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 single line through the center. 10 I

12、n sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex“, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities.

13、 There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women s bodies really weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4. 5 minutes

14、. Women s speeds are always slower than men s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 40

15、0 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙 )injections. At the Olym

16、pics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes! 11 Women are called “the weaker sex“ because_. （ A） women do as much work as men （ B） people think women are weaker

17、 than men （ C） sport is easier for men than for women （ D） in sport the two sexes are always together 12 Which of the following is true? （ A） Boys and girls study separately everywhere. （ B） Women do not run or swim in races with men. （ C） Famous Prime Ministers are women. （ D） Men can expect to liv

18、e longer than women in Europe. 13 “That at least is what people say. “ means people_. （ A） say other things too （ B） dont say this much （ C） say this but may not think so （ D） only think this 14 What problems does sport have? （ A） Some women athletes are actually men. （ B） Some women athletes are gi

19、ven hormone injections. （ C） Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. （ D） It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women. 15 In this passage the author implies that_. （ A） women are weaker than men, but faster （ B） women are slower than men, but stronger （ C） men are no

20、t always stronger and faster than women （ D） men are faster and stronger than women 15 What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a re

21、liable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income

22、 to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, wha

23、t we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a nee

24、d. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. 16 What we need in life is divided into_according to this article. （ A） the basic necessities and luxury （ B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses （ C） four groups th

25、e basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense （ D） the basic necessities and reliable income 17 A person who gets the basic necessities must_ according to the writer. （ A） have a reliable income （ B） learn how to please his manager （ C） finish his work ahead the time （ D） get a goo

26、d education 18 We all enjoy_. （ A） having only reliable income （ B） having reliable income and extra income （ C） having nothing more than food and clothing （ D） having nothing more than reliable income 19 With time going on, _. （ A） a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get （ B）

27、the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller （ C） a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged （ D） the basic needs can be changed “into a luxury 20 If most of the people of a country have a television, we_. （ A） can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter

28、 （ B） can say the television must be in the basic necessities （ C） cannot say the television is in the basic necessities （ D） can say every family must have one 20 Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, becau

29、se much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives(添加剂 )and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural

30、foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic(有机的 )matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process

31、compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场 ). Compare this with what

32、happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitami

33、ns. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in f

34、act do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of c

35、alories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting

36、to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating“. 21 People have become more

37、 interested in natural foods because_. （ A） they are more health conscious （ B） they want to taste all kinds of foods （ C） natural foods are more delicious than processed foods （ D） they want to return to nature 22 Soil that is rich in organic matters_. （ A） has had chemicals and fertilizers added t

38、o it （ B） contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed （ C） has been nourished by fertilizers （ D） already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals 23 Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that_. （ A） they are fed on food which is little better than garba

39、ge （ B） they live in very crowded condition （ C） the eggs they lay lack vitamins （ D） they are allowed to move about and eat freely 24 According to the passage, _. （ A） people need sugar to give them energy （ B） sugar is bad for the health （ C） the use of sugar is habit forming （ D） sugar only sweet

40、ens food, but provides us with nothing useful 25 The best title for this passage is_. （ A） Peoples Growing Interest in Natural Foods （ B） Natural Foods and Healthy Diet （ C） Harmful Effects of Sugar （ D） The Importance of Fiber in Foods 25 Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on

41、the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated(自动化的 )production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks. On the other hand, computer

42、s do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing(交换 )system of major banks and the weather forec

43、asting system. When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts(such as jobs of operations managers)while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not alway

44、s replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the frim, resulting from the introduction of computers. The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unempl

45、oyment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult. On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and p

46、roductivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1954, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit th

47、e economy in the long run. 26 The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from_. （ A） the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction （ B） their use as part of automated production systems （ C） the least possible number of operators （ D） the production system in steelwork

48、s 27 The underlined word “They“(Line 1, Para. 2)refers to_. （ A） computers （ B） jobs （ C） activities （ D） systems 28 According to Paragraph 2, without computers_. （ A） human activities could not continue （ B） there could not be weather forecasting systems （ C） many activities would have to change th

49、eir present form （ D） banks would not be able to go on with check clearing 29 According to the passage, what results from the introduction of computers? （ A） After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs. （ B） A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts. （ C） The firm keeps all of its original staff members. （ D） The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities. 30
