14、 this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.35 Young people who drink or use drugs are mainly infl
15、uenced by both their parents and their pressure.Other reasons they take that first drink are to be rebellious (反抗的) ,for curiosity or “kicks“ (刺激) or to escape an unpleasant environment. And young people drink and use drugs because alcohol (酒精)and drugs are at hand.After first experimental use, youn
16、g people continue to drink or use drugs because they believe these substances can relieve boredom, increase energy, decrease anxiety, solve problems, or help them socially. They may simply like the “high“ they get in the early and middle stages of substance use. After continued use, they will drink
17、or use drugs because they become physically and psychologically (心理地) addicted (上瘾的).Now that we have admitted that we have to solve this problem. We must decide how to deal with this challenge. Winning this will take a great effort involving local, state, and national government. It will require th
18、e effort of schools, but it cannot be done by schools alone. It will take family and community involvement. Already a great amount of time, energy and expert knowledge has been directed toward dealing with it but the problem continues.36 Which of the following is not mentioned as the reason of drink
19、ing and using drugs in the passage?（A）the selling of alcohol and drugs（B） pressure from their parents and relatives（C） curiosity（D）their eagerness to experience what is not permissible to them 37 After their first experience young people _.（A）will never touch alcohol and drugs（B） feel that they beco

22、ve 40 There was a big pile of bricks on the top of a tall building and a man had to bring them down to the ground. He had a long rope which went over a pulley (滑轮) at the roof of the building. The other end was fastened to a big box.First he pulled the box up to the top of the building, and fastened
23、 the end of the rope so that the box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bricks was heavier than the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the rope. Half-way up, the box of
24、 bricks hit him as it was coming down.When he reached the top, his head hit the pulley. The box of bricks hit the ground and broke. As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the man and consequently he began to come down and the box began to go up.Half-way up, the box hit the ma
25、n. The man still held on to the rope and the box therefore continued to go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let to the rope to rub his head. The box, of course, then fell down and hit the man on the head again. As a result, an ambulance came and took him to hospital.41 Why did the man fa
26、sten the end of the rope before he climbed up the ladder?（A）He was afraid that someone would steal his box.（B） Because he wanted to climb up along the rope.（C） He fastened the end of the rope in order to keep the box unmoved.（D）Because he wanted to prevent the box from coming down. 42 The box of bri
27、cks hit the man because _.（A）the box of bricks was heavier than him（B） the box of bricks was lighter than him（C） the box of bricks came down too fast（D）the man was too careless 43 What happened when the man let go the rope?（A）The box fell down and hit the man on the head.（B） The box continued to go
28、up.（C） The man went up to the top of the building.（D）The man fell down and broke his legs. 44 For the second time, the mans head was hit by _.（A）the box of bricks（B） the ladder（C） the top of the buliding（D）the pulley 45 How many times did the box hit the man?（A）Once（B） Three times（C） Twice（D）Four ti
29、mes 45 The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological(生态的) balance as it is known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disp
30、osed (处理) of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more .complex problem,
31、 that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing population. However, the land itself is gradually beco
32、ming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilisers (人造肥料) cannot bring back the balance.Whatever is underlying (潜在的)reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more e
33、fforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter(杂乱的废物) and waste. Food comes wraped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great wa
34、ste resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us to buy things we dont want to buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of th
35、e products we use in our daily lives.46 The main cause of pollution is _.（A）the production of new industrial goods（B） increased amounts of natural substance（C） our ever-increasing population（D）the release of artificial of natural substances into the environment 47 In the writer; s view, the more new
36、 goods there are, _.（A）the less pollution we have（B） the harder pollution can be done away with（C） the more pollution there will be（D）the more easily pollution can be controlled 48 Many people see pollution as only part of _.（A）the environmental balance（B） our daily life（C） the consumption of goods
37、by man（D）the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods 49 Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _.（A）air pllution（B） both the litter problem and waste of resources（C） excess consumption（D）unnecessary buying 50 People can help solve the problem of pollution by _.（
38、A）urging their governments to control litter and waste（B） cutting down the use of oil and other oil products（C） reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes（D）Making anti-pollution advertisements 50 Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages o
39、f women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes becomes wider with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies. Its also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are wom
40、en in an industry, the lower the average wages.Why do women earn less than men do? Are the differences explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene (干预) ,to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among eco
41、nomists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average have chosen low-paid jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the differen
42、ce in educational background.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One
43、possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring rew workers declines. The result will be a surplus (过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be
44、 better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.51 The difference in labor incomes is most obvious between _.（A）young men and young women（B） young women in the same industry（C） middle-aged men and middle-aged women（D）middle-aged women in the same industry 52 Some economists be
45、lieve women earn less than men partly because _.（A）there are more than enough women in the labor force（B） women have more freedom in selecting jobs（C） women are only provided with low-paid jobs（D）women ale less experienced than men 53 Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the second paragra
46、ph?（A）Levels of education are closely related to productivity.（B） Women are not as productive as men.（C） Women receive less education than men.（D）Goods produced by men are not as good as those by women. 54 What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?（A）To ensure equa
47、l pay for women.（B） No solution is clearly suggested.（C） To explain why women are paid less.（D）To force employers to hire more women. 55 What would happen if womens wages were raised?（A）The imput of labor would be increased.（B） The unemployment rate would go up.（C） Those who have jobs would all beco
48、me better off.（D）Women as a group would earn more than before. 55 Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest ne
49、ighbours are several hundred kilometers away.The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about some- one who was ill, an
