2、onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 In the year 2100, the world is going to have a population of about 8 billion. Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply. Who is going to feed all these people? Where is the food going to come from? Are
3、 we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial foods? One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat. Why? Because it takes 4 kilos of grain protein(蛋白质 )to produce half a kilo of meat protein. Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 8
4、 billion people. Therefore, it will also be necessary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people s food today. A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean(大豆 ). The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scientists can now
5、 make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow s milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a
6、 year! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, soybean milk, and sometimes just soybeans. Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables. 1 What is the main subject of the passage? （ A） A solution to mans food problem. （ B） A solutio
7、n to the population problem. （ C） Advantages of soybean. （ D） How to develop good eating habits. 2 According to the passage, meat will completely disappear in the future because_. （ A） people have to spend too much time and energy to produce it （ B） too much grain protein is needed to produce it （ C

9、otein （ D） soybeans 5 Soybean meat is similar to real meat _. （ A） in appearance, but not in taste （ B） neither in appearance nor in taste （ C） both in appearance and in taste （ D） in taste, but not in appearance 5 The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are as closely rel
10、ated as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market. In the international market, goods on sale coming from different countries and suppliers are always facing keen competit
11、ion. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items the competitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting(报价 ), what features their pro
12、ducts have, who are their regular customers, etc. Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. The commercial counselor s offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our impo
13、rt and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot. Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other
14、 fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations. 6 In making market investigation, one should_. （ A） get enough information concerned （ B） advertise his products （ C） produce hi
15、gh quality goods （ D） none of the above 7 The word “indispensable“ in the first line means_. （ A） impossible （ B） essential （ C） advisable （ D） available 8 Which of the following statements is NOT true? （ A） The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lip
16、s and teeth. （ B） It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation. （ C） There are various ways of making market investigation. （ D） Production goes before market investigation. 9 Making market investigation is very important because_. （ A） in market, goods on sale are n
17、umerous （ B） every producer is facing keen competition （ C） it can greatly promote sales （ D） all of the above 10 All of the following are channels to get market information except_. （ A） to have commercial counselor s offices of our embassies stationed abroad （ B） to promote the quality of our own
18、products （ C） to send trade groups abroad every now and then （ D） to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen 10 The young people who talk of the village as being“dead“ are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know. No, the village is not dead. There is more life
19、 in it now than there ever was. But it seems that “village life“ is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline(衰落 )about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work w
20、as. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What “village life“ meant in the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village within walking distance of it. It meant hous
21、ewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no
22、longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life“ and “town life“ almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life“. It is
23、 just life, and that a better life. Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are b
24、etter fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street. 11 By saying that village is not dead, but“ village life“ is dead, the writer suggests that _. （ A） those young people who talk of the village as be
25、ing“ dead“ are wrong （ B） the two statements are against each other （ C） village life today is rather uninteresting （ D） village life today is no longer like what it used to be 12 It was_that“village life“ began to take a sharp turn. （ A） about a century ago （ B） during the two world wars （ C） with
26、electricity and motorcars introduced into the village （ D） only recently 13 As is suggested in Paragraph 2, villagers in the past_. （ A） lived a simpler life than villagers today （ B） knew fewer people than villagers today （ C） found it difficult to enjoy themselves （ D） liked to wash themselves wit
27、h cold water 14 The expression “there is no point whatever in talking about. “in Paragraph 3 means that _. （ A） there is no end to the talking about. （ B） it is harmful to talk about. （ C） it is not meaningless to talk about. （ D） there is no reason for talking about. 15 From the passage we can see
28、that the writers attitude toward“ village life“ is_. （ A） positive （ B） negative （ C） neutral （ D） unclear 15 Very old people do raise moral problem for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values this can t be repeated too often are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cle
29、anness and order are not necessarilv the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person King alone on bed , taking no notice oi anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to in
30、sist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety o
31、f the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car; it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what
32、point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportuniti
33、es, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while there s life, there s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 16 From Paragraph
34、 1 , we can infer that_. （ A） very old people enjoy living with their relatives （ B） social services could have nothing to do with very old people （ C） very old people prefer to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom （ D） very old people are able to keep their rooms clean 17 Accordin
