Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.15 A number of persons have expressed concern about possible health dangers to workers who use devices called video-display terminals (终端) or VDTs. These are the devices used to show compu

9、ter information. Some reports link VDTs to health disorders including eye problems and muscle problems. Even the health of the pregnant women and their unborn babies is said to be endangered. Video-display terminals produce low levels of the electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射). Experts say most modern V

10、DTs have been designed to limit the dangers from such radiation. However, study shows that even low levels of electromagnetic radiations can affect the growth of the cells. As a result, some doctors advise women to stop working with VDTs while they are pregnant. One study found women who work with V

11、DTs in early pregnancy are more likely than others to have their pregnancy end unexpectedly. Researchers said that this does not necessarily mean that VDTs themselves cause problems. Some experts said the findings show working conditions, not the machines, cause the problems. Law makers in m6re than

12、 American states have proposed bills to control working conditions for VDT operators.16 What kind of disease does the VDTs cause?（A）Eye problems.（B） Muscle problems.（C） Health disorders.（D）Heart trouble. 17 According to the passage, we know its better for the pregnant women _.（A）to do other work tha

16、ct the Pregnant Women. 20 There are many reasons of the tidal action which is a very complicated phenomenon involving many factors all of which must be considered to predict tide in any one place at any one time. The alternate rise and fall of the surface of the seas and the ocean is mainly caused b

17、y the attractive force of the moon alone. When the attraction is great, the tide is high; and conversely when the attraction is minimal, the tide is low. Between the high and the low tide is a period of a little over six hours, being called during its rise a flood tide, and during its fall an ebb ti

18、de.The sun also exerts its effect on the tide, being a lit fie less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest high tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest low tide takes place.The wind also plays an important

19、part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of the tide. Thus these factors affect each other, either detracting or adding to the attractive forces to add or subtract from the weight of the tide. But the tides still move inexorably on, rising twice a day, getting a little later each day and

20、 posing a problem of correctly predicting their heights and lows.21 Which of the following factors will not affect the time of the tide?（A）The position of the sun and the moon.（B） The mass of the moon.（C） The wind.（D）All of the above mentioned factors. 22 The principal idea of this article is _.（A）t

21、he attraction of the sun and the moon（B） the sun, the moon and the wind（C） the changing tide（D）the factors affecting the tide 23 It can be concluded from this article that the attraction of the sun is _.（A）more than half that of the moon（B） more than that of the moon（C） more than twice that of the m

22、oon（D）half that of the moon 24 If the first high tide takes place at 1:00 A.M., the next high tide will probably take place at _.（A）7:20 .M.（B） 8:00 .M.（C） 1:45 P.M.（D）high noon 25 According to this article, it is clear that the force of the moon（A）is not as important as that of the wind（B） is less

23、than half as much as the sun（C） causes the alternate rise and fall of the surface of the seas（D）does not influence the rise and fall of the surface of the seas 25 Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and

24、towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: It is a weekend crime. It is a

25、lso a night-time crime: 62 percent of murders are done between 6 p. m. and 6 a. mUnlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, robbing has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. The month with least crim

26、es of all is May-except for one strange fact. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.Obviously our seasonal cycles of knowledge are completely different from our tendencies for crimes. Professor Huntington made extensive studies to discover the seasons when peo

27、ple read serious books, attend scientific meetings and get highest results on examinations. In all cases, he found a separated high and autumn high separated by a summer low.Possibly, high temperature and high humidity cause our strange and violent summer actions, but police officials are not sure.

28、“There is, of course, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder, “they say,“ Why murders high time should come in the summer time we really do not know.“26 A good title of the passage would be _.（A）Crime-Cycles（B） Summer Crimes（C） A Time for Murder（D）The Most Peaceful Month 27 According t

29、o the passage, _.（A）there is a link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns（B） crime is not linked to the cycle of the weekdays（C） there is a sure connection between murder and hot weather（D）there is a connection between robbing and murder 28 A murder would most likely occur _.（A）on a week

30、end night in summer（B） on a weekend afternoon in summer（C） on a weekend night in winter（D）on a weekday afternoon in spring 29 It is reported that more dog bites occur in _.（A）February（B） December（C） May（D）January 30 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）The police records were collected f

31、rom a large number of cities and towns.（B） The pattern of crime varies from year to year.（C） Our cycles of learning are different from those of wrong action.（D）The police are not sure that humidity and murder are related. 30 Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have o

32、nly been a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice, or are great players“ born, not made“ ? First, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In th

33、e history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia. Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo D

34、i Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood-a poor, crowded area where a boys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famo

35、us athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball“ made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Be

36、lfast.All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.31 According to the author, which of

37、 the following statements is true?（A）Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.（B） Millions of people all over the world are playing soccer, but only six countries have ever hadfamous stars.（C） Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but only six count

38、ries from SouthAmerica and western Europe have ever had great national teams.（D）All over the world soccer is one of the most popular games, but it seems least popular in North America or Asia. 32 The word “tricks “at the end of paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_“.（A）experience（B） cheating（C） sk

39、ills（D）training 33 Liverpool and Brazilian streets are two geographic terms used to illustrate _.（A）where soccer players get their way（B） how neighbourhood affects a soccer players success（C） why they can produce the best soccer teams（D）what a poor, crowded area will provide a future soccer player w

40、ith 34 In the last paragraph the statement “but only one became Pele“ indicates that _.（A）Pele is the greatest soccer player（B） the greatest players are born with some unique quality（C） Peles birthplace sets him apart from all the others（D）the success of a soccer player has everything to do with the

41、 family background 35 To get the way for a great player, a series of factors are directly mentioned, except（A）age and birth（B） family and neighbourhood（C） training and practice（D）personality and character 三、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank ther

42、e are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.35 The appeal of the world of work is first its freedom. The child is compelled to go to school: he is【21】of authority. As he grows up, he sees

43、 what it is to be free of school and to be able to choose his job and change it if he doesnt like it. The boys and girls,【22】he has long observed, revisit school utterly changed and apparently mature. Suddenly teachers seem as out of date as his parents and the authority of school a ridiculous thing

44、. At the moment the adult world may appear【23】the school world that the desire to enter it cannot be satisfied by exercises in school books. This may not be the【24】but it is a necessary part of growing up, for every man and woman must come sooner or later to the point of saying “Really, Ive had enou

At work, the young man makes one of the first great acceptances of lifehe accepts the discipline of the material or the process h

The work process constitutes a reality in some sense superior to that of school, and this is why he so often longs to get to grips with it. Nothing done in school imposes its will in【28】the same way; if the maths master is ill one c

But even the boy delivering papers,【29】the driver taking out his bus, discovers that one cannot put it off because there is snow on the ground, or the foreman (工头) is easily annoyed, or he himself【30】that morning.（A）under the thumb（B） below the hands（C） subject to the
