For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter
19、on your Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.BPassage 1/BPopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate, take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have on
20、ly 64 cents, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on “all of a sudden“. It took from the beginning of human life to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行)a time span of at least
21、two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960, only thirty years, and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion, which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9000 per
22、 hour, 220000 per day, and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries, such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica, and the Philippines, are doublin
23、g their population about every twenty-one years, with a growth rate of 3.3% a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8% per year. UEvery time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including ho
24、spitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. /UIt is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage chiefly discusses_.（分数：2.00）A.the growth of world populationB.one type of the exponential rateC.the pop
25、ulation problem of more rapidly growing countriesD.the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth(2).According to the passage, what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden“? _.（分数：2.00）A.The penny that doubles itself every day for one monthB.The time s
26、pan of at least two million years in human historyC.An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the authorD.The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week(3).It took_ for the world to increases its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.（分数：2.00）A.100 yearsB.145 year
27、sC.1975 yearsD.over two million years(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true? _.（分数：2.00）A.World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minuteB.lower death rate also contributes to world population growthC.The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 yearsD.The Uni
28、ted States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years(5).When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including_.（分数：2.00）A.hospitals and medicinesB.schools and studentsC.food and manpower resourcesD.all of the aboveBPassage 2/BWomen are, on the
29、whole, more verbal than men. They are good at language and verbal reasoning, while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visualspatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression, these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other pe
30、ople, especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in ne
31、urophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial, and its true that there are relatively few wo
32、men engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themsel
33、ves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. UA woman is more likely to see her car, rifle, or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating./U（分数：10.00）(1).According to the massage, women are usually good at_.（分数：2.00）A.body languageB.logical reasoningC.

35、odyC.programming talents into the brainD.imagination and communication(4).All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.imagining and handling objectsB.providing a computer with a set of instructionsC.shooting a gun and driving an automobileD.planning and making things
36、as an engineer does(5).Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?_.（分数：2.00）A.Because they have no visual-spatial skillsB.Because they are only good at language and verbal reasoningC.Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspectsD.Because th
37、ey rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etcBPassage 3/BThe U. S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. UThe areas of the map where earthquakes are
38、 most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt“./U The government is. spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: Can we predict earthquakes? Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the
39、 most active fault (断层)systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is break between two sections of the earths surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs. Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake w
40、as about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes, The most interesting development concerns the R
41、ocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When
42、 the water “oiled“ the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a Connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested tha
43、t might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change the big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.（分数：10.00）(1).Earthquake belts are_.（分数：2.00）A.maps that show w
44、here earthquakes are likely to occurB.zones with a high probability of earthquakesC.breaks between two sections of the earths surfaceD.the two layers of earth along a fault(2).The San Andreas fault is_.（分数：2.00）A.an active fault systemB.a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC.a pla
45、ce where earthquake have been controlledD.the location of the Rocky Mountain(3).What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal? _.（分数：2.00）A.They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB.The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring
46、C.They are usually caused by the oil in the faultsD.Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake(4).What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal? _.（分数：2.00）A.They have no practical value in earthquake preventionB.They may have practical valu
47、e in earthquake preventionC.They are certain to have practical value in earthquake preventionD.The article does not say anything about their practioal value earthquake prevention(5).What is the most appropriate title for the passage? _.（分数：2.00）A.Dangers of EarthquakeB.Earthquake Belts and Predictio
48、nC.Earthquake Prediction and ControlD.Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaBPassage 4/BSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. T
