Section A 45 People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993
24、, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,
25、sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas mos
26、t affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible
27、. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as l
28、imestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain lucre, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home. 46 What is the cause of the problem that people
29、 living on parts of the south coast of England face? （ A） The rising of the sea level. （ B） The experts lack of knowledge. （ C） The washing-away of limestone cliffs. （ D） The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens. 47 The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England _. （ A） will soon bec
30、ome a problem for people living in central England （ B） has now become a threat to the local residents （ C） can be stopped if proper measures are taken （ D） is quickly changing the map of England 48 The experts study on the problem of erosion can _. （ A） warn people whose homes are in danger （ B） pr
31、ovide an effective way to slow it down （ C） help the prevent it from worsening （ D） lead to its eventual solution 49 It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because _. （ A） house agents along the coast do not support the idea （ B） it is too costly and will endanger neighb
32、oring areas （ C） the government is too slow in taking action （ D） they will be easily knockdown by waves and currents 50 According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should _. （ A） take the quality of the house into consideration （ B） guard against being chea
33、ted by the house agent （ C） examine the house carefully before making a decision （ D） be aware of the potential danger involved 50 It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and the effects are cumulative. “upbrigning“ is normally used to refer to the treatment and tr
34、aining of the child within the home. This is closely related to the treatment and training of the child in school, which is usually distinguished by the term “education“. In a society such as ours, both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the development of the ch
35、ild, so that upbringing and education are interdependent. The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. In general, the more rural the community, the more uniform are the customs of child Upbringing. In more technologically developed societies, the period of childhood and a
36、dolescence tends to be extended over a long time, resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety in character development. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents capabilities and their aims and depends not
37、only on upbringing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child. Intelligent parents, however, realize that the particular setting of each family is unique, and there can be no rigid general rules. All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline. The younger the child
38、, the more readily the mother gives is to his demands to avoid disappointing him. She knows that if his energies are not given an outlet, her childs continuing development may be warped. A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy“ but tactile stage of discovery before he is ready to go on to the l
39、ess physical pleasures of toys and books. Similarly, throughout life, each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before. 51 Its a general belief that a childs later character and personality is _ decided by his early experiences both at home and in school. （ A） chiefly （ B） by chan
40、ce （ C） entirely （ D） seldom 52 The word “cumulative“ (in line 1, Para. 1) most probably means _. （ A） decisive （ B） extremely beneficial （ C） strong （ D） progressively greater 53 It can be seen from the passage that _. （ A） the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a childs upbringing
41、in the home （ B） by no means does the technological development of childrens character （ C） there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their children （ D） upbringing and education are mutually complementary 54 A childs development might well be badly affected if _. （ A） he was sub
42、jected to unusually strict discipline （ B） his mother often gave in to his demands （ C） his energies were freely given an outlet （ D） he were brought up in a happy environment 55 As it is presented in the passage, rather than a smooth progression the development of the human character and personalit
43、y is a series of _. （ A） acts （ B） stages （ C） functions （ D） completions Section B 55 Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. A passport is final proof of id
44、entity in almost every country in the world. In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a val
45、id passport to reenter the country. When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket, check into a hotel or casino. Dont confuse passp
46、orts and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela n
47、ow require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit. Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal
48、courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures. Maybe because most Americans use their passports only when traveling and because they are good for five years, many people lose their passports. Any every passport is worth
49、 thousands of dollars to smugglers or criminals who desire to enter this country illegally or assume a false identity. Travelers should keep their passports in their pockets or pocketbooks at all times; never pack them or leave them in a room or automobile; when you arrive back home, store your passport in a safe or safety deposit box. And report a lost or stolen passport immediately; it is literally you
