16、economies. Most countries , including the United States, have used a measure【 C1】_the gross national product or GNP. It includes all【 C2】 _and services produced by citizens of the country【 C3】 _in the world. Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new【 C4】_to measure production

17、. It is known as the gross domestic product or GDP. It counts only goods and services that have been produced【 C5】 _the nation s borders. Money【 C6】 _by foreign companies operating in the United States is included in the GDP. Money earned by American companies operating in the United States is inclu

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points) 55 Although the total

26、 percentage of daily smokers is falling in most countries, a new international study shows that six people die every minute from smoking. That equals 3 million deaths around the world every year. If the present rate of smoking continues, the number of deaths each year from smoking could rise to 10 m

27、illion by the year 2020. The study describes smoking as the biggest cause to deadly diseases among grown-ups in industrial countries. So far most of the smoking deaths have happened on men, especially in developing countries. A researcher at the World Health Organization says 70% of the Chinese men

28、smoke more than 15 cigarettes each day. In Latin America about 50% of the men are smokers. There are also a very large number of smokers in the former Soviet Union and in the east Europe. And 25% of all smoking deaths worldwide are in those areas of the world. Scientists say smoking will kill 50% of

29、 the smokers. Smoking is known to cause lung cancer. It also can lead to cancer of the mouth and other parts of bodies. Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to suffer from heart disease. Experts say that people reduce their chance of dying from smoking if they stop smoking completely. They say sm

30、okers who give up smoking can improve their health. In most Western European countries the percentage of daily smoker is falling, and far more men than women are quitting smoking. In Sweden and the Netherlands the percentage of male smokers has been cut nearly in half in the past thirty years. In No

31、rway about one third of the adult population smokes daily, a percentage that has fallen slightly. In 1980 this percentage was about 36, in 1990 it had fallen to 35 and in 1999 it was 32. There is no longer any difference between men s and women s smoking habits. 56 The best title for the passage wou

32、ld be_. （ A） Do Give Up Smoking （ B） Smoking Causes Lung Cancer （ C） Smoking Does Harm to Health （ D） Man Likes Smoking Much More Than Woman 57 According to the text, if there are one hundred male Chinese smokers in the room, as a result, the number of cigarettes that they smoke a day is at least_.

33、（ A） 15000 （ B） 5000 （ C） 750 （ D） 1050 58 It can be inferred from the text that if people don t stop smoking, they will_. （ A） pollute the air （ B） waste a lot of money （ C） become stupid （ D） be in poor health 59 Which of the following statement is True? （ A） Smoking is the biggest cause to deadly

34、 diseases among grown-ups （ B） Now more men than women are smoking （ C） The number of smokers in east Europe is much bigger than that in Latin America （ D） About one second of the Latin American men are nonsmokers. 60 The tone of the passage is_. （ A） objective （ B） optimistic （ C） pessimistic （ D）

35、emotional 60 The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis world-wide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice pr

36、ices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability

37、. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we 11 have to start thinking ahead and acting globally. Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which

38、three years ago established a special fund to help its fanners get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity(产量 ). Malawi s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $ 10 per person annually in the rich world, or $ 10 billion altogether.

39、 Second, the U. S. and Europe should abandon their policies of paying partly for the change of food into bio-fuels. The U. S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol(乙醇 )changed from corn. There may be a case for bio-fuels produced on lands that do not

40、produce foods tree crops, grasses and wood products but there s no case for the government to pay to put the world s dinner into the gas tank. Third, we urgently need to weatherproof the world s crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm

41、pond which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The World has already committed to establishing a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has

42、 not yet acted upon the promise. 61 Aninternational fund base on the Malawi model, would_. （ A） cost each of the developed countries $ 10 billion per year （ B） aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year （ C） decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices （ D） give poor

43、farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds 62 With the second step, the author expresses the idea that_. （ A） it is not wise to change food crops into gas （ B） it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank （ C） we should get alternative forms of fuel in any way （ D） bio-fuels sh

44、ould be developed on a large scale. 63 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry regions. （ B） A climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help poor regions. （ C） The world has made a serious promise to build farm pon

45、ds （ D） It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not 64 In the passage, the author calls on us to_. （ A） slow down but not to stop economic growth （ B） develop tree crops, grasses and wood products （ C） achieve economic growth and political stability （ D） act now so as to reli

46、eve the global food shortage. 65 “case“ in paragraph 3 probably means_. （ A） example （ B） fact （ C） problem （ D） reason 65 We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience , by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passiv

47、ely by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive, conditioned as we are to passive learning, it is not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with fri

48、ends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem, It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumor. Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person , in turn, whispers it to still another and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then
