Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and
12、 D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 10 England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising ra
13、nge of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, howev
14、er, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across t
15、he North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo(竹 )and many semi-tropical(亚热带的 )plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟 )as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the
16、 area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England s most pop
17、ular holiday areas. 11 The distance from the centre of England to the south coast is about_. （ A） one hundred miles （ B） three hundred miles （ C） one hundred and fifty miles （ D） six hundred miles 12 England is a country_. （ A） with a cold and wet climate （ B） with a surprising climate （ C） with a p

19、 vegetables and flowers （ D） vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers 14 In the north of England and the Midlands, _. （ A） it is cold and wet all the year round （ B） the climate is pleasant as a whole （ C） it is warm most of the time in a year （ D） only the summer is not
20、cold or wet 15 In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall_. （ A） seldom see snow （ B） never see any snow （ C） may have several feet of snow （ D） often see snow 15 How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions mat many
21、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 same time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒 )it on empty land. Now,empty land
22、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 up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use ga
23、rbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities 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 to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Pa
24、ris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities 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 limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy so
25、urce 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 of energy and the land to hold garbage. （ C） Air pol
26、lution 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 to boil water. （ C） The steam produced is used to m
27、ake electricity. （ D） The steam produced is used to heat buildings. 18 According to the passage which of the following is NOT true? （ A） About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in some power plants in Paris, France each year. （ B） In a modern society, more and more garbage is produced each
28、year. （ C） Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage. （ D） It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source. 19 What is the authors attitude? （ A） Delighted. （ B） Sad. （ C） Agreeing. （ D） Disagreeing. 20 The best title for the passage may be_. （ A） Garbage and th
29、e Earth （ B） Fossil Fuel and Garbage （ C） Land and Garbage （ D） Garbage Energy Source 20 Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big
30、fires can burn forests. Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope(绳子 )and brought fire down. Tod
31、ay people know how to make a fire with matches(火柴 ). Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be caref
32、ul with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen(氧气 ). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand, or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will
33、burn you. 21 How did people begin to use fire? （ A） Not everybody knows how people began to use fire. （ B） Nobody knows how to make a fire. （ C） It is an Australian who started a fire. （ D） We are not sure how people began to use fire. 22 Children mustn t play with matches because_. （ A） matches bur

36、sive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liber
37、alization(自由化 )after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $ 1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1955 and 12 percent in 1999
38、. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. “ This is a huge success for the world as a whole,“ says Harvard Universit
39、y economist Richard Cooper. “ We are doing something right. “ The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF 国际货币组织 ), have do
40、ne too little for the world s poor. The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those instituti
41、ons and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary control are working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Ban
42、k policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just “free“ markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to ric
43、h nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies. 26 The word “plunged“ in the first paragraph means_. （ A） decreased （ B） climbed （
