25、ts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.45 Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contr
26、ary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the mor
27、e painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding. There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that r
28、are kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put w
29、ords to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and re- ports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse (引起)
30、 and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters-to-be-read“ file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writi
31、ng.46 In this passage, good writing is-compared to fine food because _.（A）both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day（B） both are essential to life（C） both writers and cooks can earn a good living（D）both are enjoyable47 A public “scribe“ ( Para. 2) is _.（A）a secretary who does your busi
32、ness or social writing（B） a machine that does writing for you（C） a public school where writing is taught（D）a person who earns a living by writing for others48 According to the passage, some managers dont have to do any letter writing because _.（A）they rely on quick notes（B） they have excellent secre
33、taries（C） they have a computer to do it（D）they prefer making phone calls49 According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letters-to-be-read“ file, _.（A）it will receive immediate attention（B） it will be dealt with by the secretary（C） it is likely to be neglected（D）it is meant to be del
34、ivered soon50 The purpose of the author in writing this passage is（A）to explain and persuade（B） to comment and criticize（C） to interest and entertain（D）to argue and demonstrate50 In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U. S. minority (少数民族 ). As their children began movin
35、g up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathemat
36、ics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. , with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there wi
37、ll be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of p
38、arents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. Ah effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe ther
39、e is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immi
40、grants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 51 While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students _.（A）feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of Eng
41、lish（B） are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character（C） still worry about unfair treatment in society（D）generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents52 What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?（A）A solid foundation in basic mat
42、hematics and Asian culture.（B） Hard work and intelligence.（C） Hard help and a limited knowledge of English.（D）Asian culture and the American educational system.53 Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because _.（A）their English is not good enough（B） they are afraid they might me
43、et with unfair judgement in these areas（C） there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures（D）they know little about American culture and society54 Why do the two “explanations“ (Line 1, Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?（A）They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American so
44、ciety in general.（B） People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.（C） Asian Americans would be a threat to other minorities.（D）American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.55 The authors tone in this passage is _.（A）sympathetic（B） doubtful（C）
45、 critical（D）objective55 Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because every- thing which goes into the dumps (垃圾堆) would be made into something useful. Even t
46、he most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else. The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a pl
47、ant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well. Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the
48、 rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up eve
49、rything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁), which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage. The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before
