11、0)四、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous disease. A large number of once fatal illness can now be found for the most stubborn remaining disease. The expectation of life has increased enorm
12、ously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of them, women and children on the roads Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing Thousand of people the world over are killed
13、 or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his ear becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. Peopl
14、e who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind steering wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the
15、act of driving.The surprising thing is that the society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the ma
16、ss annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code
17、which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made for more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every
18、three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a persons driving ability. Present drinking and driving la
19、ws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should he banned. These measures may
20、sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings not for motor-cars.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is_.A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motoristsB. t
21、housands of people the world over are killed each yearC. the laws of some countries about driving are too laxD. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society criticizes the motorists severely.B. Huge car parks a
22、re built in the cities and towns.C. Society overlooks their rude driving.D. Victims of accidents are nothing.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Why does the author say: “his car becomes the extension of his personality“?A. Driving can show his real self.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Dri
23、ving can bring out his character.D. His car embodies his temper.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Build more highways.B. Stricter driving tests.C. Test drivers every three year.D. Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.（分数

Despite putting men on the moon in 1969 America seems determined on re-enacting the space race, this time pitting
25、its efforts against those of the Chinese. Now a Russian company claims it could develop a system to exploit the moons natural resources and potentially relocate harmful industries there. This is lunacy.Russia certainly has great prowess in space. In its former guise as the centre of power in the Sov
26、iet Union it launched the first man-made satellite in 1957. In a spectacular follow up, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space in 1961. Another triumph came in 1968 when the Russians sent a spaceship to orbit the moon with turtles aboard, returning it and its living cargo safely to Earth. An
27、unmanned Russian spacecraft also landed on the moon ahead of the first manned landing by the Americans. Even after Neil Armstrong took his one small step, Russia has proved its superiority in keeping people in space stations orbiting the Earth. The Russian Soyuz rocket is a mainstay of satellite lau
28、nches and would be used to rescue astronauts should any accident befall the International Space Station.Head of the spacecraft manufacturer that helped achieve these Russian successes, this week boasted that his rockets could be used to industrialise the moon. So why were his remarks greeted with su
29、ch scepticism?One reason for the cynicism is that the idea is absurd. A United Nations treaty passed in 1967 bans potentially harmful interference with the Earths original satellite and requires international consultation before proceeding with any activity that could disrupt the peaceful exploratio
30、n of space, including the moon. A second problem is that landing on the moon has proved beyond the budget of any state other than America and of any private company to date.In fact one of the best hopes for investment comes from space tourism. On Saturday April 7th, the fifth such holidaymaker enter
31、ed space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Charles Simonyi, an American software developer, paid $25m for his ten-day stay at the International Space Station. The next holiday destination is the moon. The tour operator that organised the first five packages is offering two tickets to orbit the moon for
32、 $100m each. Launch would be aboard a Soyuz spacecraft. But the Soyuz system was designed in the 1960s and has been on the verge of retirement for many years. Unfortunately the Russian authorities have postponed indefinitely the development of a successor. Thus the claim of the industrialisation of
33、the moon is unlikely to succeed.（分数：10.00）(1).The Underlined word“ lunacy“ (Line 4, Paragraph 1) most probably means _.A an effort to explore the universe.B a kind of insane state connected with the moon.C the ability to transfer harmful industries onto the moon.D the power to orbit around the moon.
34、（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is not Russian achievement in space exploration?A The first astronaut who was sent to space.B The first landing of manned spacecraft on the moon.C Launching of the first man-made satellite.D Rockets that can be used to save astronauts in space stations.（分数
35、：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Why was the claim of the Russian company widely criticized?A Russia is not able to develop such advanced space technologies.B The cost will be too high for a country to afford.C It violates agreements on the exploration of the moon.D Landing on the moon needs much more than orbitin
36、g it.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the text, which is the most probable result of the development of space tourism?A It is mainly taken by US software developers such as Charles Simonyi.B It need the development of new rocket systems to replace the current one.C It brings to a new round of space
37、 race between US and China.D It witnesses the success of the industrialization of the moon.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The Russian company has boasted such claims mainly because they _.A get more financial support from the government.B explore the moon and acquire more natural resources for human beings.C
38、transfer harmful industries to the moon to prevent our environment.D attract more space travelers to develop the space tourism industry.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist is reflected in several books t
39、hat have been written on the topic. Most of these books, as well as several chapters, mainly in, but not limited to journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting texts, stress the “ how to“ aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview, its context, a
40、nd implications. Much of the “how to“ material is based on personal experiences and general impression. As we know, in journalism as in other fields, much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice. Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles ca
41、n be developed. There is, as has been suggested, a growing body of research literature in journalism and broadcasting, but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand, many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interview
42、ing in fields other than journalism have been written. Many of these books and articles present the theoretical and empirical (经验的) aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers. Unhappily, this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to the journ
43、alistic interview. The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic interview seems to be surprising for two reasons. First, it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive manner, with journalistic interv
44、iewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the clinical interview, such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists. In these situations the professional person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the diagnosis
45、and treatment of the person seeking help. Another familiar situation is the job interview. However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media, particularly by television. And yet, we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as
46、readers, listeners, and viewers. Even so, true understanding of the journalistic interview, especially television interviews, requires thoughtful analysis and even study, as this book indicates. （分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of the first paragraph is that A generalized principles for journalistic inte
47、rviews are the chief concern for writers on journalism B concepts and contextual implications are of secondary importance to journalistic interviewing C importance should be attached to the systematic study of journalistic interviewing D personal experiences and general impressions should be exclude
48、d from journalistic interviews（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Much research has been done on interviews in general_. A but journalistic interviewing as specific field has unfortunately been neglected B though the study of the interviewing techniques hasnt received much attention C so the training of journalist
49、ic interviewers has likewise been strengthened D and there has also been a dramatic growth in the study of journalistic interviewing（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Westerners are familiar with the journalistic interview, _. A but most of them wish to stay away from it B and many of them hope to be interviewed some day C but most of them may not have been interviewed in person D and many of them would like to acquire a true understanding of it（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Who is the interviewee in a clini
