We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesse
9、s can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we wi
10、tness the in- credible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly sa
11、id that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor car often brings out a man s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are be- hind a steering-wheel. T
12、hey swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to co
13、ndone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be c
14、onveniently forgotten.It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically bene
15、ficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to dr
16、ive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum a
17、nd minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be consid
18、ered as severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor cars.22 The main idea of this passage is that_.（A）traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists（B） thousands of people over the world are killed each year（C） the laws of som
19、e countries about driving are too lax（D）only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents23 What does the author think of society toward motorists?（A）Society smiles on the motorists.（B） Huge car parks are built in cities and towns.（C） Victims of accidents are nothing.（D）Society condones their rude dr
20、iving.24 Why does the author say that his car becomes the extension of his personality?（A）Driving can show his real self.（B） Driving can show the other part of his personality.（C） Driving can bring out his character.（D）His car embodies his temper.25 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way a
21、gainst traffic accidents?（A）Build more highways.（B） Conduct stricter driving tests.（C） Test drivers every three years.（D）Raise the age limit and lay down safety specifications.26 The attitude of the author is_.（A）ironical（B） critical（C） appealing（D）militant26 Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when th
22、ere is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving
23、the trees to grow in their own ways.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secon
24、dly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of a
25、ir.One result of pruning is that an open would is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal(愈合). Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, or that there is a period when the tree is at risk
26、. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce the risk as far as possible. It is essential to make the area which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface t, dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances
27、available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference(妨碍) from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course,
28、 impossible to paint them properly. 27 Why should pruning be done?（A）Because it can make trees grow taller.（B） Because it can improve the shape of the trees.（C） Because it can get rid of the small ranches.（D）Because it can make the small branches thicker.28 Trees become unhealthy if the gardener?_.（
29、A）to helps a wound to dry（B） to covers a rough surface（C） damages some of the small side branches（D）allows too many branches to grow in the middle29 Why is a special material painted on the tree?（A）Because it can help a wound to dry.（B） Because it can cover a rough surface.（C） Because it can make a
30、wound smooth.（D）Because it can prevent disease entering a wound.30 A good gardener prunes a tree_.（A）several times throughout the year（B） as quickly as possible（C） occasionally when necessary（D）regularly every winter31 What was the authors purpose when writing this passage?（A）To discuss different me
31、thods of pruning.（B） To introduce some common knowledge of pruning.（C） To explain how trees develop disease.（D）To give practical instruction for pruning a tree.31 Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we “fit“ in society. As we go
32、 about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in term of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the people in library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter r
33、eader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowin
34、g other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.Statuses
35、has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by fit, as well as by our pocket- boob. Having made
36、 a choice from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores choice among them is limited.32 In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us_.（A）determine whether a person is fit for a certain job（B） behave appropriately in relation to other people（C） protect ours
37、elves in unfamiliar situations（D）make friends with other people33 According to the writer, people often assume different statuses_.（A）in order to identify themselves with others（B） in order to better identify others（C） as their mental processes change（D）as the situation changes34 The word “appraisal
38、“ ( Line5, Para. 2) most probably means _.（A）involvement（B） appreciation（C） assessment（D）presentation35 In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it“ refers to_.（A）fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately（B） identification of other people s statuses（C） selecting on
39、e s own statuses（D）constant mental process36 By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince“ (Lines 23, Para. 3 ), the writer means _.（A）different people have different styles of clothes（B） ready-made clothes may need alterations（C） statu
40、ses come ready-made just like clothes（D）our choice of statuses is limited36 How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀) ? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate is. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Sto
41、ck Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes
42、wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it
43、 fastens its young round people s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves. “Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept
44、 special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found
45、 more, convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antiques should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately h
46、omes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by the time, why not invest in
47、 air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit? 37 According to the passage, collecting antique clocks（A）can hardly keep the value of your savings（B） will cost much of your money（C） may increase your wealth（D）needs your bravery38 By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the au
48、thor intends to_.（A）suggest human beings are controlled by a clock（B） describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth（C） tell readers what clocks look like（D）compare clicks to human beings39 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?（A）Counting the beating of one s own heart
49、（B） Making use of candles, sand and water（C） Observing shadows cast by the sun（D）Keeping slaves busy day and night40 The underlined phrase “stately homes“ in Paragraph 4 means_.（A）state-owned houses（B） houses in very good condition（C） grand houses open to the public（D）houses where statesmen meet regularly41 The purpose of the passage is_.（A）to introduce the culture of antique clocks（B） to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks（C） to compare different ways to make a future profit（D）to tell people that w
