Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished
13、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. 15 How can we get rid of garbage (垃圾 )? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future ener
14、gy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbag
15、e or dumped (倾倒 ) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas, but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石 ) fuels. As we use u
16、p our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some citys in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used t
17、o make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the citys garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are lim
18、ited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth. 16 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? （ A） The shortage of energy and air pollution. （ B） The shortage
19、of energy and the land to hold garbage. （ C） Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel. （ D） Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage. 17 Which of the following is NOT the result of burning garbage? （ A） The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels. （ B） The heat produced is used

High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any in
23、vention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. (79) A modern manufacturing (生产 ) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the united States durin
24、g the early 1980s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc. “State of the art“ is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technolo
25、gy. Something that is “state of the art“ is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the modernest electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy. “State of the art“ is not a new expression. Engineers have use
26、d it for years, to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art“. Computer technology changed so fast tha
27、t a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. (80) The expression “state of the art“ became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art“. 21 What is the purpose of the passage? （ A） To tell how “high tech“ and “state of the a
28、rt“ have developed. （ B） To give examples of “high tech“. （ C） To tell what “high tech“ and “state of the art“ are. （ D） To describe very modern technology. 22 What can we infer from the passage? （ A） American stores could provide new kinds of products to people. （ B） High tech describes a technolog

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commerc
32、ials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not, Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to tu
33、rning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver ha
34、s a style of driving and its fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. (77) If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of
35、 course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like t
36、he beginning. You know it will soon be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. (78) By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests-even with your hands cross
37、ed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit. 26 According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip? （ A） Buses on the road. （ B） Films on television. （ C） Advertisements on the board. （ D） Gas stations. 27 W
