22、25 BCADA 2630 BCDCA 3135 BDACB 3640 DACBD 阅读理解 E Brazil has become one of the developing worlds great successes at reducing population growth-but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really try
23、ing, says George Martine at Harvard. Brazils population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement
24、that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries. Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧 ) and installment (分期付款 ) plans introduced in the 1970s. both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering, the birth rate. Brazil is one of the worlds biggest pr
25、oducers of soap operas. Globo, Brazils most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities. “Although they have never really tried to work in a
26、message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values - not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,” says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which w
27、ere put into a very attractive package.” Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers (消费者 ). “This led to an enormous change in consumption (消耗、消费 ) patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的 ) with unlimited reproduction.” Says Martine. 57. According to the
28、 passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth _. A. by educating its citizens B. by careful family planning C. by developing TV programs D. by chance 58. According to the passage, many Third World countries _. A. havent attacked much importance to birth control B. would soon join Brazil in con
29、trolling their birth rate C. havent yet found an effective measure to control their population D. neglected the role of TV plays in family planning 59. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazils birth rate because _. A. they keep people sitting long hours watching TV B. they have gradually changed
30、peoples way of life C. people are drawn to their attractive package D. they popularize birth control measures 60. What is Martines conclusion about Brazils population growth A.

31、ion patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory (互相矛盾的 ) D. A countrys production is limited by its population growth. 答案： 5760 CABB D Stricter Traffic Law can Prevent Accidents From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the m
32、ost dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a lon
33、g and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietl
34、y sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may becom
35、e unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surprising thing is that
36、 society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annua
37、l slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten. It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which w
38、as universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three year
39、s or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a persons driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (whe
40、re they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound in
41、ordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars. 52. The main idea of this passage is_- A. Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists. B. Thousands of peop
42、le the world over are killed each year. C. The laws of some countries about driving are too lax. D. Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents. 53. What does the author think of society toward motorists A. Society smiles on the motorists. B. Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns. C.
43、 Victims of accidents are nothing. D. Society condones their rude driving. 54. Why does the author say: his car becomes the extension of his personality A. Driving can show his real self. B. Driving can show the other part of his personality. C. Driving can bring out his character. D. His car embodi

The studies lasted 30 years and looked at patients attitudes after operation. “In each case the bette

47、d science behind it. The result shows that the power of positive thinking is real,” Cole said. New York-A Pable Picasso painting sold at Christies auction house in New York Wednesday for 55-million dollars. The price set a new auction record for a Picasso,and is the fifth-highest price ever paid for
48、 any work of art at auction.
