11、项中选出一个最佳答案。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. During the early years of this century，wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good，the economy was good；when the crops failed. there was depression. People on city streets watched the yi
12、elds and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as c
13、arried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn，but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due，only to see prices rising and speculators getting ri
14、ch. On various occasions，producer groups asked for firmer controls，but governments had no wish to become involved，at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild. Anxious to check inflation(通货膨胀)and rising living costs，the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors(监视员)
15、to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended，and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919，the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board，with full authority to buy，sell. and set prices. （分数：10.00）(1).The author uses
16、the term“lifeblood”to indicate that wheat was_.（分数：2.00）A.difficult to produce in large quantitiesB.susceptible to many parasites(寄生虫)C.essential to the health of the countryD.expensive to gather and transport(2).According to the passage，most farmersdebts had to be paid_.（分数：2.00）A.when the autumn h
17、arvest had just been completedB.because wheat prices were highC.as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded paymentD.when crop failure caused depression(3).According to the passage. wheat prices became unmanageable because of conditions caused by_.（分数：2.00）A.farmersB.supervisorsC.weatherD.war(4)

19、upervisorsC.several producer groupsD.a new governmentPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. In our day of the automobile and paved highway few people ever encounter quicksand(流沙). Yet quicksand is still common in many pans of the country. It may be more dangerous for being
20、 less familiar. Quicksand is usually found along the shores and in the beds of rivers. It is simply sand saturated(使饱和)with water from beneath，as from a spring. The water flowing into the sand separates the grains. The suspended grains give rather easily and a heavy object placed on the surface is l
21、ikely to sink. How fast it sinks depends on its weight and surface area. How does one detect quicksand?It cannot be done by the eye alone，since sand which looks firm may suddenly collapse and trap anyone who ventures out on it. The only way to be sure is to test the sand before walking on it. For te
22、st a probing(探索)pole or long stick should be used. If the pole sinks more than six inches，the sand is probably quicksand. A traveler who stumbles into quicksand will soon sink to the depth of his knees. If he stands still or struggles wildly，he will sink even further. He should at once lie on his ba
23、ck and stretch out his arms. Contrary to popular notion，quicksand does not suck objects down，and will support more weight than water alone. While the trapped person“floats”on the surface of the sand，rescuers should build a platform with boards or branches. Then they can pull him out slowly. If the t
24、rapped person is alone，he can rescue himself. When he is in the floating position，he should begin rolling toward solid ground. Rolling is the only way of getting free. It should be done with frequent rests，so that the trapped person does not tire himself. When he reaches solid ground，he should swing
25、 his legs to safety，and quickly scramble out of the quicksand. （分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.that today few people ever encounter quicksandB.that quicksand is still common in many parts of the countryC.that quicksand cannot be detected by the eye aloneD.expressed by none
26、 of the above(2).According to the passage，quicksand is usually found_.（分数：2.00）A.on hillsidesB.far inlandC.near waterD.on prairies(3).For detecting quicksand the author recommends_.（分数：2.00）A.good eyesightB.fast thinkingC.the use of a long poleD.testing the surface with your shoe(4).If you are alone
27、 and you stumble into quicksand，you should_.（分数：2.00）A.struggleB.stand stillC.call for helpD.lie on your back(5).To escape from quicksand you should be_.（分数：2.00）A.calmB.excitedC.strongD.daringPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Human feelings are affected by colour u
28、nconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings，that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless，and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of colour psychology. Some of o
29、ur preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the cokur of the night sky and therefore associated with quiet and calm：White yellow is a key colour in association with energy. For primitive men，activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking，which he soon saw red，the colour of blood
30、 and the fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary colour to red，should be associated with passive defence. Experiments have shown that colours also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red，show an increase in breathing rate，heart beat and blood pressure. Red
31、 is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect，because it is a calming colour. Because red has an implication of exciting，it was chosen as the signal for danger. Some analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulanc
32、es in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colours that stop traffic deed. （分数：10.00）(1).The passage is about_.（分数：2.00）A.why colour affects humansB.colour and manufacturersC.colour and traffic accidentsD.how colours influence human feelings(2).Manufacturers have discovere
33、d the secret of colours in marketing_.（分数：2.00）A.by accumulating their various experiencesB.by experimenting with different coloursC.by developing the discipline of colour psychologyD.by trying not to make mistakes(3).Our preferences for certain colours are_.（分数：2.00）A.associated with the time of th
34、e dayB.associated with psychologyC.dependent on our characterD.linked with the primitive men(4).If people are exposed to red，which of the following statements does not happen?（分数：2.00）A.They breathe faster.B.Their blood pressure rises.C.They feel afraid.D.Their hearts beat faster.(5).Which of the fo
