For
19、 each of them, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41 Population tends to grow at an exponential(指数的 )rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of
20、this type of growth rate, take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cents, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on “all of a sudden“. It took from the beginning of human li
21、fe to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行)a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960, only thirty years, and in 1975 world population reached 4
22、 billion, which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9000 per hour, 220000 per day, and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as th
23、e number of deaths.Some countries, such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica, and the Philippines, are doubling their population about every twenty-one years, with a growth rate of 3.3% a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0
24、.8% per year. Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41 This passage c
25、hiefly discusses_.（A）the growth of world population（B） one type of the exponential rate（C） the population problem of more rapidly growing countries（D）the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth42 According to the passage, what helps to explain why the population problem has come on
26、 “all of a sudden“?（A）The penny that doubles itself every day for one month（B） The time span of at least two million years in human history（C） An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author（D）The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week43 It took_ for the w
27、orld to increases its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.（A）100 years（B） 145 years（C） 1975 years（D）over two million years44 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute（B） lower death rate also contributes to world population growth（
28、C） The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years（D）The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years45 When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including_.（A）hospitals and medicines（B） schools and students（C）
29、 food and manpower resources（D）all of the above46 Women are, on the whole, more verbal than men. They are good at language and verbal reasoning, while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visualspatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression, these are the most commonly accepted difference
30、 between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people, especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into th
31、e brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学 ), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is b
32、oth Visual and spatial, and its true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women d
33、o, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle, or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46 According to the massage, women are usually
34、 good at_.（A）body language（B） logical reasoning（C） tasks demanding for the use of words（D）both A and B47 The word “accepted“ in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_.（A）believed（B） assumed（C） received（D）reconciled48 In the authors opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for

36、automobile（D）planning and making things as an engineer does50 Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?（A）Because they have no visual-spatial skills（B） Because they are only good at language and verbal reasoning（C） Because they are less likely to see their charming o
37、r interesting aspects（D）Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc51 The U. S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the m
38、ap where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt“. The government is. spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: Can we predict earthquakes? Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looki
39、ng very closely at the most active fault (断层)systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is break between two sections of the earths surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might sho
40、w that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes, The most interesting deve
41、lopment concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like o
42、il on each other. When the water “oiled“ the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a Connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. T
43、hey have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change the big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51 Earthquake belts are_.（A）maps that sho
44、w where earthquakes are likely to occur（B） zones with a high probability of earthquakes（C） breaks between two sections of the earths surface（D）the two layers of earth along a fault52 The San Andreas fault is_.（A）an active fault system（B） a place where earthquakes have been predicted accurately（C） a

46、ey are usually caused by the oil in the faults（D）Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake54 What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?（A）They have no practical value in earthquake prevention（B） They may have practical value in earthqua
47、ke prevention（C） They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention（D）The article does not say anything about their practioal value earthquake prevention55 What is the most appropriate title for the passage?（A）Dangers of Earthquake（B） Earthquake Belts and Prediction（C） Earthquake Pred
48、iction and Control（D）Earthquake Engineering in California56 Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmou
49、th. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving (进化) as cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hun
