17、laces. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty
18、 air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country. On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the previous year. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many
19、major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air. The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headach
20、es for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death. Therefore, it“s high time to stop ma

25、D.they may lead to immediate deaths五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In cities with rent control, the city government sets The maximum (最高的)rent that a landlord can change for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; th
26、erefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long lime, rent control may have negative (负面的)effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not i
27、nvest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some theorists argue that the minimum(最低的) wage la
28、w can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Th
29、e price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs
30、 at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity(尊严). Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of
31、economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage, The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal“. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a p
32、articular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.（分数：10.00）(1).There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _.（分数：2.00）A.cause a shortage of apartmentsB.worry those who rent apartments as homesC.increase the
33、profits of landlordsD.encourage landlords to invest in building apartments(2).According to the critics, rent control _.（分数：2.00）A.will always benefit those who rent apartmentsB.is unnecessaryC.will bring negative effects in the long runD.is necessary under all circumstances(3).The problem of unemplo
34、yment will arise _.（分数：2.00）A.if the minimum wage is set too highB.if the minimum wage is set too lowC.if the workers are unskilledD.if the maximum wage is set(4).The passage tells us _.（分数：2.00）A.the relationship between supply and demandB.the possible results of government controlsC.the necessity
35、of government controlD.the urgency of getting rid of government controls(5).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.The results of economic decisions cannot always be predictedB.Minimum wage cannot always protect employees.C.Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisi
36、ons if other factors are not changing.D.Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant“, although it does not
37、 offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted“, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job. “Contact us before writing your application“, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum
38、 vitae (履历) or job history“, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection (思考) on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with th
39、e suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application, “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams“, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their
40、 first jobs when they left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and
41、 intelligent replies did the rest. Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated (老于世故的)was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person
42、you are looking for“, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview. There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff tha
43、t has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.（分数：10.00）(1).The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns _.（分数：2.00）A.informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB.promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employmentC.divides available jobs int
44、o various typesD.informs employers of the people available for work(2).Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because _.（分数：2.00）A.there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleB.there are so many top-level jobs availableC.there are so many people out of workD
45、.the job history is considered to be a work of art(3).In the past it was expected that first job hunters would _. A. write an initial letter giving their life history B. pass some exams before applying for a job C. have no qualifications other than being able to read and write C. keep any detailed i
46、nformation until they obtained an interview（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the letter _.（分数：2.00）A.something that would distinguish one from other applicantsB.hinted information about the personality of the applicantC.one“s a
47、dvantages over others in applying for the jobD.an occasional trick with the aggressive approach(5).The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because _.（分数：2.00）A.there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedB.there has been an increase in the number of applicants with
48、degreesC.jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD.the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A recent study, published in last week“s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage dr
49、iver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger. The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p. m., and especially after midnight, with passengers in the car, the driver was
