9、 the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, however, most people make several job choices during their working lives, partly because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their positions.

32、总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、BPassage 1/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Increasingly, over the past ten years, peopleespecially young peoplehave become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health.Consequently, there has been a grow
33、ing interest in natural foods, foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple te
34、rms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amountbut not the quality-of foods
35、 grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one
36、building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet.It is significa
37、nt that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of
38、unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on “healthy eating“.（分数：10.00）(1).Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because _. A. these foods are fresh and
39、 sweet B. they want to change their eating habits C. these foods do not contain chemical additives and have not been affected by chemical fertilizers D. they dont like the processed foods（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).To use the chemicals and fertilizers means _. A. to increase the amount of foods B. to incre
40、ase the quality of foods C. to increase the amount and quality of foods D. to increase essential vitamins and minerals（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following can not be referred to as natural foods?

A. natural foods B. eating habits C. healthy eating D. food problem（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.七、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The term “satellite city“ is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighbouring smaller cities and towns
43、that are economically dependent upon it.Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis (大城市), or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one-industry economies as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is
44、 what is generally meant when one uses the term “satellite city“. Taken in this sense, nineteenth-century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis. Located on cheap land along w
45、ater-power sites in the midst of a farming region that could supply enough labor, they were satellites in the fullest sense of the term. Pullman, Illinois, and Gary, Indiana, were likewise one-industry towns created in conjunction with the much broader economy of nearby Chicago. Such places, as Vera
46、 Schlakman and Stanley Buder have pointed out in their excellent urban biographies, had a one-dimensional quality, a paucity (缺乏，少量) of social vigor. These cities could not stand alone; they were in a sense colonies of a multifunctional mother city.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is characteris
47、tic of a satellite city? A. It is a self-sufficient community. B. It offers cheap land to people. C. It tends to concentrate on a single product. D.
