15、es a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man.(71)Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. I
16、f rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded th
17、ey are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?31 This passage is mainly about_.（A）living
18、 space and behavior（B） population and living conditions（C） interesting experiments on rats（D）a natural law for human society32 What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?（A）To determine how much living space a rat needs.（B） To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.（
19、C） To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.（D）To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.33 How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?（A）They eat a lot and become friendly to others.（B） They sleep little and act qui
20、te peacefully.（C） They eat little but sleep soundly.（D）They become nervous and tend to be war-like.34 The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions_.（A）are directly related with population（B） may cause an increase in violence（C） may lead to high birth rate（D）may bring about pollution problems34 M
21、any people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the years, people have made up new languages with this aim.(72)At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto
22、(世界语), was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the language, he made it as simple as possible.Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary langua
23、ge. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books ha
24、ve been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious.(73)Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact tha
25、t more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of a world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.35 Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that_.（A）all people will
26、 be able to speak a common language（B） people will learn a foreign language better（C） people can understand each other better（D）people will be able to speak several languages36 Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because_.（A）he wanted people to learn it quickly（B） he hoped more and more
27、 people would be willing to learn it（C） he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficulty（D）he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language37 Which of the following is NOT true of Esperanto?（A）It is widely taught in schools.（B） It has become a second language for many millions of peo
28、ple.（C） Many books have been written in Esperanto.（D）It is spoken by many people.38 What is the best title of the passage?（A）The Language Made by One Man（B） A Talk About the World Language（C） English as a Second Language for Everyone（D）Esperanto a Better Language Than English38 After the violent ear
29、thquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake.(74)By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries an
30、d deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4: 31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city s buildings and highways, making
31、them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings.(75)The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past
32、, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The mos
33、t recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite dire
34、ction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.39 One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that_.（A）new computers had been installed in the
35、buildings（B） it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways（C） large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday（D）improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways40 The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_.（A）counterbalance a
36、n earthquake s action on the building（B） predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy（C） help strengthen the foundation of the building（D）measure the impact of an earthquake s vibrations41 It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should b
37、e focused on_.（A）the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction（B） the development of flexible building materials（C） the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations（D）early forecasts of earthquakes42 The main purpose of this passage is mostly to_.（A）compare the consequences of the e
38、arthquakes that occurred in the U. S.（B） encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computers（C） outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials（D）report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings42 A. The desire to keep the respect of a good name
39、 propelled me to become the first in our family to go to college.B. Shielding children from the knowledge that they have failed is anything but beneficial to their development.C. We must waken people to the importance of environmental protection. Or it will be too late.D. To start with, it is not on
40、ly money that he works so hard. He is committed to educating the young and tries to motivate them to get ahead in life.43 首先，他如此努力工作并非只是为了钱，他一心为了教育青年人并设法激励他们在各方面取得进步。44 要保持好名声所赢得的那份尊重，这一渴求促使我成为全家第一个上大学的人。45 我们必须唤醒人们认识到环境保护的重要性。否则，就为时太晚了。46 庇护孩子不让他们知道自己已经失败对于他们的成长是绝对无益的。46 A. The only thing neighbors
41、 have in common to begin with is proximity, and unless something more develops, that isn t reason enough to be best friends.B. As I look back, it s clear that he had deliberately kept all of that hidden from us to avoid spoiling our fun.C. Though grateful for gentle employment, he didn t really see
42、who had a gift for writing should necessarily be able to teach.D. For a shy man, his gregarious generosity of spirit was remarkable.47 现在回想起来，他是故意不让我们知道，免得扫了大家的兴。48 尽管他对拥有这份体面的工作心存感激，但是他并不真正认为具有写作天才的人一定能够教书。49 对于一个腼腆的人而言，他爱交际的慷慨精神尤其难能可贵。50 一开始，邻居们唯一的共同点就是住得近，只有进一步发展关系，才有足够的理由成为最好的朋友。Section ADirecti
