14、ually very crowded. Many people who fly on the planes like to drink the special coffee.One customer thinks that the coffee costs a lot but it is good and worth it.

18、ts LifeC.Little BusinessD.Kids Cafe六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is sati
19、sfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly
20、 well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It in
21、cludes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goo
22、ds.A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds,
23、we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when_.（分数：3.00）A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfie

25、n the fourth level?（分数：3.00）A.The more goods the better.B.The more “luxury“ items the better.C.The more mental satisfaction the better.D.The more earnings the better.(4).The author tends to think that the fifth level_.（分数：3.00）A.would be little better than the fourth levelB.may be a lot more desirab
26、le than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actions七、Passage three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)How can we get rid of garbage.9 Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many peo
27、ple are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. B
28、ut more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an ener
29、gy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, som
30、e power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can
31、use to help meet our energy needs.（分数：12.00）(1).What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?（分数：3.00）A.The shortage of energy and air pollution.B.The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C.Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D.Air pollution and the shortage of land to hol

33、thB.Fossil Fuel and GarbageC.Land and GarbageD.Garbage? Energy Source八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and
34、 he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brake
35、s, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he ca
36、n look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels a
37、nd replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a p
38、iece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.（分数：12.00）(1).In analy
39、zing a problem we should do all the following except _.（分数：3.00）A.recognize and define the problemB.look for information to make the problem clearerC.have suggestions for a possible solutionD.find a solution by trial or mistake(2).By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to _.（分数：3.00
40、）A.illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB.discuss the problems of his bicycleC.tell us how to solve a problemD.show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle(3).As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.in the long runB.in detailC.in factD.in a word(4).What is the best
41、 title for this passage?（分数：3.00）A.Six Stages for Repairing Sams Bicycle.B.Possible Steps of Problem-solving.C.Necessities of Problem Analysis.D.Importance of Analyzing a Problem.九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Most famous people have some unusual story associated with their names. Casanova, for examp
42、le, was a legend in his own time. He was the epitome of the gallant adventurer and lover. However, he spent thirteen years of his life as a librarian!Thomas Edison, the brilliant inventor, was deaf from the age of twelve. The young Edisons hearing loss was long believed to have been caused when he t
43、ried to catch a moving train and a conductor grabbed him by the ears to pull him on board. Edison himself liked to tell this story. No one is really sure how he did lose his hearing.Great writers and artists often require various types of inspirational warm-up before they create. Rudyard Kipling cou
44、ld not write unless his pen was filled with black ink, and only black ink. Ludwig van Beethoven poured icy cold water over his head before he composed his music. He felt that the cold water would refresh his brain. The author Charles Dickens always faced north when working or sleeping. Tycho Brahe,
45、an important Danish astronomer, had his nose shot off in a duel with a Danish nobleman in 1566. He replaced it with another nose made of gold. President James Garfield could simultaneously write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other.（分数：12.00）(1).This passage is about famous _.（分数：3.00）A.scie
