17、ree passages is followed by some questions. For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage. For the past twenty years, poll-takers (民意测验者)
18、have told us that the vast majority of Americans report that they are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their jobs. But, when the surveys pose a slightly different question-“If you had to do it over, would you choose the same line of work?”-sixty percent of working Americans say they would choose
19、 another occupation. This seems to tell us that Americans feel that they are supposed to like their jobs but, in reality, they dont. Most of us are stuck in jobs wed prefer not to have. And some of us actually hate what we do. How does this happen in a land where citizens are presumably free to do,
20、and become, anything they want? First of all, some of us didnt deliberately choose our jobs but simply fell into them. Later, there was never time to find out what we really wanted to do. Another reason people dislike their jobs is the result of a change in the American economy. A hundred years ago
21、most Americans worked for themselves on farms or in small stores and workshops. Now, less than 10 percent of us are self-employed. Many of us work as cogs (轮牙) in the wheels of giant corporations. We dont make a finished product with our own hands, and we feel that we are totally replaceable parts i
22、n the machine. Social scientists say that the happiest workers are the ones who are their own bosses-business owners, executives, and professionals. Working for a big company often results in a sense of powerlessness and malaise. Finally, being a member of the baby boom generation increases the chan
23、ces of job dissatisfaction. In the struggle for careers among the members of this large population “bulge”, many people are losing out in the competition. These individuals may never achieve the standard of living their parents achieved, or go as far up the success ladder as they had hoped. The resu
24、lt is bitterness, and a feeling of being trapped in a “nowhere” job.（分数：10.00）(1).The best title for this selection is _. （分数：2.00）A.Job SatisfactionB.Why People Hate Their JobsC.Nowhere JobsD.A Change in the Workplace(2). Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the selection? _.（分数：2.00）A.Jo
25、b burnout is a growing problemB.Large companies provide many benefits for workersC.Workers are unhappy because they no longer work with their handsD.There are several reasons why workers are unhappy with their jobs(3). According to the passage, the majority of Americans _. （分数：2.00）A.would choose an
26、other occupation if they could begin againB.are self-employedC.feel that they are supposed to dislike their jD.work in factories(4).The author implies that _. （分数：2.00）A.job dissatisfaction is a sign of lazinessB.the baby-boomers despise their parentsC.polls can be misleadingD.working for a corporat
27、ion is very satisfying(5).The word “malaise” (Line7, Para. 3) means _. （分数：2.00）A.depressionB.fulfillmentC.contentmentD.significancePassage Two Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness or ignorance. Forest fire prevention, therefore, i
28、s mainly a problem of creating better understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job. Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each
29、 year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts (烟蒂) and matches are thrown from automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers (徒步旅行者), fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests
30、that prohibit smoking except in certain designated areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in hazardous areas. The most im
31、portant natural cause of fire is lightning (闪电). This accounts for 11 percent of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States, lightning causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East. Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protecti
32、on forces to know when to be alert to lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds to prevent or control the lightning itself have been in process for many years, but new breakthroughs are
33、 needed for any significant reduction in the fires lightning starts.（分数：10.00）(1).This passage is chiefly about _. （分数：2.00）A.smoking in forestsB.changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of peopleC.the chief causes of forest fires and their preventionD.advances in knowledge of fire weather(2)
34、.Preventing smoker-caused forest fires is mainly a problem of _. （分数：2.00）A.building the proper knowledge and habits in human beingsB.safeguarding the forests from fireC.posting rules in forestsD.holding the damage to a minimum(3).Lightning-caused fires can be controlled quickly by _. （分数：2.00）A.hol
35、ding the fire damage to a minimumB.people who have changed their attitudes and behaviorC.enough fire fighters with good fire-fighting devicesD.carrying out experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds(4).“Alert to” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means _. （分数：2.00）A.aware ofB.watchful forC.responsible fo
36、rD.busy with(5).Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? _.（分数：2.00）A.It is difficult to prevent forest firesB.Smoking is allowed only in certain forestsC.11% of the forest fires in the Western States are caused by lightningD.Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds have he
37、lped reduce lightning-caused forest firesPassage Three Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new product
38、s that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there we
39、re real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changesAlso scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignoreAt such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disas
40、ters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S., for example,
41、 there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sellA third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any c
42、ompanies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use fo
43、r travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products（分数：10.00）(1).The main topic of the passage is _. （分数：2.00）A.conditions in the work placeB.the freedom of industries in the pastC.changes in industrial productionD.the safety and
44、health of workers and customers(2).It can be inferred from the passage that in the past _. （分数：2.00）A.workers often got ill because of the poor working conditionsB.companies were free to put out any products they wanted toC.many people were killed by dangerous productsD.industries were as careful in
45、 management as they are today(3).It is implied in the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of productsB.governments paid little attention to the safety of productsC.government officials often did not listen to scientistsD.in the past no safety l
46、aws were introduced by governments(4).Some years ago safety rules _. （分数：2.00）A.were put forward due to scientists recommendationsB.came into being as a result of the workers demandsC.were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injuredD.were effective enough to protect
47、workers and customers(5).The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT by _. （分数：2.00）A.testing new productsB.controlling the sale of productsC.designing new productsD.inspecting work placesSection 2 Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the stat
48、ements are true (A) or false (B). Then blacken the corresponding letter（A or B）on the Answer Sheet. (对的在答题卡上涂 A, 错的在答题卡上涂 B) Passage Four Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage. When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest. An inquest is a kind of court inquiry. The person in charge of an inquest is called a coroner (验尸官). His job is to find out exactly how a person died. If there is nothing suspicious (怀疑的) about the death, he would decide that the person died from natural causes or
