If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be
19、 anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earths resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that b
20、y the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less
21、 meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class“ of 1991?There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to
22、be taken by people as members of national and local governments, as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists, and technologist; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.41 Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?（A）Making
23、 More Demands on the Natural Resources（B） limiting the Pollution of Air and Water（C） Reducing the World Population（D）Saving the Babies of 199142 What is meant by “the problems of the baby class of 1991“ ?（A）A large number of babies will be born after 1991.（B） Babies born in 1991 wont live a long lif

26、ate of the world?（A）Officials（B） Industrialists（C） Businessmen（D）Scientists45 There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people wh
27、o are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “ generalists“. And these “gene
28、ralists“are particularly needed for positions in administration. Where it is their jobs to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field: his concern is with technique and too
29、ls. He is a “trained“ man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalistand especially the administratordeals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated“ man; and the humanities(人文科学)is his stronges
30、t foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out
31、during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for youbut this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change your job constantly, otherwise people will become suspicious of your ability
32、 to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.46 There is an increasing demand for_.（A）all-round people in their own fields（B） people whose job is
33、to organize other peoples work（C） generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional（D）specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others47 The specialist is_.（A）a man whose job is to train other people（B） a man who has been trained in more than
34、 one field（C） a man who can see the forest rather than the trees（D）a man whose concern is primarily with professional or technical matters48 The administrator is_.（A）a “train“ man who is more a specialist than a generalist（B） a man who sees the trees as well as the forest（C） a man who is very strong
35、 in the humanities（D）a man who is an “ educated“ specialist49 During your training period, it is very important_.（A）to try to be a generalist（B） to choose a profitable job（C） to find an organization which fits you（D）to decide whether you are fit to be a generalist or a specialist50 A mans first job_
36、.（A）is never the right job for him（B） should not be regarded as his final job（C） should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job（D）is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job50 IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient which is a measure of a persons
37、intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. To know if a baby is clever, or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by boys of thirteen in the test.In 1906 psychologist Alfred Bitnet(18571911), devised the standard in relation to which intelligence has since been assessed
38、. Bitnet was asked to find a method to test all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives.First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what
39、age each test was passed by the average child. For instance, the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence: “ We are going to have a good time in the country. “The concept of mental age provided Bitnet, and through him, and oth
40、er psychologists with the required standard. It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in term of norm. At first it was usual to express result of a test by the difference between the “mental“ and the “chronological“ age. Then the boy in the example given would be “three years retarded. “
41、 Soon, however, the mental ratio was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with mental age of nine has a mental age of 0. 75. The mental age was replaced by the intelligence quotient or “IQ“. Clearly, since the mental age of the averag
42、e child is equal to the chronological age, the average IQ is 100.51 A psychologist is_.（A）an educationist（B） a school inspector（C） a kind of doctor（D）a person who studies the working of the mind52 The word “defectives“ is used for_.（A）average children（B） children of low intelligence（C） poor children
43、（D）the dull53 To judge a childs standard, his marks in a test must be compared with marks gained by_.（A）others of the same age（B） older and younger children（C） a number of children aged 13（D）the same child when at different ages54 Binet used large numbers of children in his tests because he wanted t
44、o find out_.（A）who were the brightest（B） what a bright child could do（C） the defectives（D）a norm55 The expression “a variety of tests“ means_.（A）a number of different sorts of tests（B） a large number of tests（C） a number of similar kinds of tests（D）as large a number of tests as possible55 The early
45、feminists(女权运动者)fought for their right to be equal with men. Then women found themselves with the freedom to study and think, but it was too often at the price of sacrificing(牺牲)a personal life. So they went back into the home. In the present generation, women who have devoted themselves to homemaki
46、ng have rediscovered its hardships and limitations and are demanding the right to leave the home. But this time they do not want to give up anything homemaking requires. They would have the period of child rearing considered a special episode. In their view, the woman with a job is to be more admire
47、d as a mother and is more stimulating as a wife. It would be well to ask: Is this an expression of anything more than another swing of the pendulum(钟摆)?The problems facing educated women remain as vivid today as they have been throughout European history. The continuous care given to small children,
48、 a husband, and a house-hold usually is incompatible(矛盾的)with the single-minded pursuit of a career. The life style of the good wife and mother contrast sharply with that of the good scientist, artist, or executive.56 What is the authors main purpose in this passage?（A）To urge men and women to coexist peacefully.（B） To illustrate how women are different from men.（C） To compare the goal of the early feminists with that of the present feminists.（D）To list the problems that modem women face.57 According to the passage, the early feminists_.（A）wanted freedom but were not willing to pay the
