The researc
14、h suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization(自由化)after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Wash
15、ington, finds that the proportion of the 6. 1 billion people in the world who live on $ 1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nati
16、ons such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. “This is a huge success for the world as a whole, “says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. “We are doing something right. “ The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual
17、meeting in Washington an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF 国际货币基金组织), have done too little for the worlds poor. The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain
18、poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless , the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic
19、gains are under way, the present policiescalling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary controlare working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than ju
20、st “free“ markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. They have been open to foreign-owned factories but h
21、ave often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modem technologies.（分数：10.00）(1).The word“plunged“in the firs paragraph means_.（分数：2.00）A.decreasedB.climbedC.increasedD.dropped into water(2).From the passage, we learn that_.（分数：2.00）A.World Bank has done nothing to help the
22、poor in the worldB.IMF only helps the rich in the worldC.World Bank controls all the banks in the worldD.there are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years(3).According to this passage, in_, the world had the largest number of poor people.（分数：2.00）A.1999B.1980C.1950D.1990(4).According

Our increasing population will tremendous
25、ly increase urban wasters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for processing wasters. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wast
26、ers, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that serious steps must be taken immediately to develo
27、p corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be settled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution danger. This involves the processing of solid wasters prior to disposal and the treatment of liquid wasters to
28、permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal. A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure(肥料)is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigat
29、ion and for the nutrients contained. Wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are exploring potentia
30、l economic uses for their waste products.（分数：10.00）(1).The purpose of this passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsB.to alert the reader the dwindling water supplyC.to explain industrial uses of waterD.to demonstrate various uses of water(2).Which of the following

34、 observationsD.strong arguments and persuasionsHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answer
35、s to the following statements. Is it true or false? Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Ov
36、ercooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in Loo much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins. Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类)foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out ver
37、y good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef. Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won t give you more energy. True. Its widely believed that extra vitami
38、ns provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesnt make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesnt make your car run faster. If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by todays stan
39、dards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that todays beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph implies that many people_.（分数：2.00）A.are well informed about nutritionB.dont care about nutritionC.have much knowledge of

41、during cooking.(3).Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?（分数：2.00）A.Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B.Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C.Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D.Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and ric
42、e.(4).The description of “overfilling your gas tank“ shows why_.（分数：2.00）A.one should take as many vitamins as possibleB.more than enough vitamins are unnecessaryC.vitamins cost as much as gasD.doctors recommend allowance of vitamins(5).A good title for this article would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Tips of Losi

He leaned over the receptionists desk and asked. “What tribe(部落)is he?“ When the receptionist told him th
44、at the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then Ill never get the job. “ This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2, 000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to
45、a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs. However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to ones ethnic group. It is a force
46、 that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong: it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is cons
47、idered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotionfrom sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager within a very short time. Tribalism remains perhaps the most powerful force
48、 in day-to-day African life. Yet modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.（分数：10.00）(1).In paragraph l, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?（分数：2.00）A.His behavior was not appropriate.B.He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C.He di
49、dnt belong to the same tribe with the manager.D.His questions annoyed the receptionist.(2).The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_.（分数：2.00）A.the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB.the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC.the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD.the importance of t
