For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and ma
15、rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women arc called“ the weaker sex“ ,or, if men want to pleas
16、e them, “the fair sex“. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68 Are womens bodies rea
17、lly weaker? The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4. 5 minutes. Womens speeds are always slower than mens, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21. 2 seconds when she was only 16
18、 The first “Tarzan“ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59. 1 seconds, which is 37. 9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious.
19、 It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷尔蒙 ) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes! 16 Women are called “the
20、weaker sex“ because_. （ A） women do as much work as men （ B） people tilde women are weaker than men （ C） sport is easier for men than for women （ D） in sport the two sexes are always together 17 Which of the following is tree? （ A） Boys and girls study separately everywhere. （ B） Women do not run or

23、xe weaker than men, but faster （ B） women are slower than men, but stronger （ C） men are not always stronger and faster than women （ D） men are faster and stronger than women 20 What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as foo
24、d, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities. We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satis
25、fied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of l
26、iving is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied. But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and
27、 shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society. 21 What we need in life is divided into _ according to this article. （ A） the basic necessit
28、ies and luxury （ B） many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses （ C） four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense （ D） the basic necessities and reliable income 22 A person who gets the basic necessities must _ according to the writer. （ A） have a reliable i
29、ncome （ B） learn how to please his manager （ C） finish his work ahead the time （ D） get a good education 23 We all enjoy _. （ A） having only reliable income （ B） having reliable income and extra income （ C） having nothing more than food and clothing （ D） having nothing more than reliable income 24 W
30、ith time going on, _. （ A） a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get （ B） the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller （ C） a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged （ D） the basic needs can be changed into a luxury 25 If most of the people of a country have a television,
31、we _ （ A） can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter （ B） can say the television must be in the basic necessities （ C） cannot say the television is in the basic necessities （ D） can say every family must have one 25 Increasingly, over the past ten years, peop
32、le especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂 ) a
33、nd which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的 ) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable mat
34、ter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals
35、which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场 ). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chicken
36、s kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they . also lay eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Al thou
37、gh a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person cons
38、umes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber ha
39、s been removed But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of who
40、le meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on “healthy eating“. 26 People have become more interested in natural foods because _. （ A） they are more health conscious （ B） they want to taste all kinds of foods （ C） natural foods are more delicious than processed foods （ D） they want to return
41、 to nature 27 Soil that is rich in organic matters _. （ A） has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it （ B） contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed （ C） has been nourished by fertilizers （ D） already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals 28 Chickens raised in poultry farm
42、s are all of the following EXCEPT that _. （ A） they are fed on food which is little better than garbage （ B） they live in very crowded condition （ C） the eggs they lay lack vitamins （ D） they are allowed to move about and eat freely 29 According to the passage,_. （ A） people need sugar to give them
43、energy （ B） sugar is bad for the health （ C） the use of sugar is habit forming （ D） sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful 30 The best rifle for this passage is _. （ A） Peoples Growing Interest in Natural Foods （ B） Natural Foods and Healthy Diet （ C） Harmful Effects of Sugar
44、（ D） The Importance of Fiber in Foods 30 Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated (自动化的 ) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing
45、 the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks. On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how ma
46、ny people are employed. Examples are the check clearing(交换 ) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system. When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, an
47、d data preparation staff. After the new system has settled down, people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the trim, resulting from the intr
48、oduction of computers. The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult. On the other hand, many workers regard the trend
49、toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivi
