Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, m
18、ark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 Modem mass-production methods lower the cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time, American ingenuity and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better q
19、uality products at good values are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.As an example of how this works ,when facial tissues were first put on the market in 1924 ,they were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immed
20、iately and began asking for them when they went into different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers began making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in greater quantities, their production costs were lowered, so tha
21、t the cost of tissues went down.In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving, because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues and each manufacturer strove to make his product better than his competitors. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200
22、 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.When people are free to compete-when they are free to make more things and make them better-everyone benefits.41 According to the passage, we know the word “tissue“ in Para. 2 Line 1 means “_“.（A）cell（B） soft
23、 paper（C） organization（D）thin fibre 42 When the demand for facial tissues increased, the supply _.（A）was not stopped（B） became more competitive（C） remained unchanged（D）was increased to keep up with the demand 43 The price of facial tissues goes down when _.（A）fewer customers buy them（B） more and mor
24、e of them are produced（C） their quality becomes poorer（D）more manufacturers produce them. 44 The improved quality of facial tissues resulted from _.（A）mass-production methods（B） popular demand for a better product（C） a decrease in price（D）competition among manufacturers 45 In regard to the productio
25、n of goods in greater quantities, the author states that _.（A）the price of the goods would drop（B） the price of the goods would rise（C） the quality and the price would rise（D）the quality would rise and the price would drop 45 It is true that times are changing for the old people in Britain. But not
26、all the changes are bad ones. Modem medicine, for example, has made old people healthier than ever before. Another advantage is that there are many more old people than there Used to be. This means that old people often have a good social life with their own clubs and organizations.Old people, too,
27、have more money now than their own parents and grandparents had.The biggest disadvantage of modem life is loneliness. The young leave home when they grow up and many old people live alone. Fewer old people have brothers and sisters. An old persons one or two children may have moved to another part o
28、f the country. Even when they live nearby, the young people have their own work to do and their own children to look after. They have not much time for the old. Problems of loneliness often start when people stop work. When people retire they often find it difficult to start a new life without their
29、 jobs.The world has changed so fast since 1900 that it is difficult for old people to understand the problems of the young. And the world is changing even faster these days than it was fifty years ago. It makes you think, doesnt it? What will it be like when todays young people are old?46 To the old
30、 people, the changes in society are _.（A）better than they expected（B） not as good as they wish（C） both good and bad（D）difficult to understand 47 According to this passage, the old people today _.（A）often go to clubs with their brothers and sisters（B） prefer lonely life to social life（C） live more ha

32、like to live with their own brothers and sisters 49 In the last century, old people did not have so many problems because _.（A）they had big families（B） they lived with their children（C） the young were kind to the old（D）the society didnt change so rapidly 50 What is the main idea of this passage?（A）M
33、odem society only belongs to the young.（B） Modem life has brought new problems to the old.（C） Todays young people are happier than their parents.（D）It is necessary to take better care of the old people. 50 The combined sales of the 100 largest foreign investing companies in the U. S. increased by a
34、40% in the two years between 1977 and 1979, and the number has continued to increase steadily. In 1980 South Africa proved to be the largest financial investor in the U. S. controlling about $19. 2 billion in sales. The Netherlands and the U. K. follow as second largest investors-and Germany next. N
35、ew to the list of the top 100 foreign investors are 12 banking and finance and insurance companies-the largest, the Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp. , from Hong Kong. The number of Latin American companies engaged in business here is growing steadily, often through third country holding companies.Wh
36、y are so many firms coming to the U. S. ? There are many reasons. One of the greatest attractions, of course, is a market of over 200 million consumers with a high average per capital income. In addition, with the devalued dollar the cost of American labor has declined significantly, relative to man
37、y foreign labor costs. Some firms seeking to avoid economic and/or political pressures at home find the U. S. a politically stable environment in which to work.Many hope to be able to continue selling to the American market even if the U. S. government restricts imports further, or if major price ch
38、anges occur due to currency fluctuations (波动). Many foreigners are attracted by U.S. technology, its modem management methods, its labor saving and mass production techniques.51 In 1980 the largest foreign financial investor in the U. S. was from _.（A）H.K.（B） U.K.（C） Latin America（D）South Africa 52
39、Which of the following statements is NOT tree?（A）South Africa controlled about 19.9 billion in sales in 1980.（B） There were more and more Latin American companies engaged in business in the U. S（C） In 1979 Hong Kong was the largest foreign investor in the U. S（D）The combined sales of the top 100 for
40、eign investing companies increased steadily. 53 The most important reason why so many companies have come to the U. S. is that _.（A）the environment is politically stable（B） the market in the U.S. is very attractive（C） the labor cost there has been reduced（D）the U. S. technology is advanced 54 Which
41、of the following reasons for many firms coming to the U.S. is not mentioned in the passage?（A）Skillful labor force in the U.S.（B） Advanced management method.（C） Rich consumers.（D）Mass production techniques. 55 The best title for this passage would be “ _“.（A）Foreign Investors in the U. S.（B） The 100
42、 Top Largest Companies in the U. S.（C） Foreign Business Is Growing Rapidly in the U. S.（D）Why Foreign Investors Like the U. S. 55 Some people say that the best way to reduce the bodys mid-section is to do stomach exercise. Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised, the fatty tissu
43、es in the immediate area are “burned up“. The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area, no matter what kind of exercise. Of course, if you reduce the fat throughout your body, you will certainly see results around your waist too.It is said that you need
44、to exercise only twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness. Studies conducted by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly. After 48 to 72 hours, you must use the muscles again to reestablish the good physical effects. And what does
45、 that mean to you? American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful, every other day, three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness.Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance? The answer is no. The truth is that
46、you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed does not matter. Of course, if you run rather than walk for 30 minutes, you will cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.If your breathing
47、 doesnt return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, you have exercised too much. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathing should be normal, your heart shouldnt be beating, and you shouldnt be exhausted.56 If you want to reduce your fat in a specific part, you _.（A）should
48、exercise all the muscles of your body（B） should exercise that specific part of your body（C） should do stomach exercises（D）can do any kind of exercise 57 According to the text, a proper way to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness is that you need to _.（A）exercise any half of the week（B） exerci
49、se any two days of the week（C） exercise every other day, three days a week（D）exercise three days a week at most 58 The third paragraph mainly tells us that _.（A）you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distance（B） you will use more energy walking one mile than running the same distance（C）
