For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark
13、the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as long as youre not held up at the airport), but
14、its an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your seasickness pills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary traveler often dreams of being able to drive to
15、 France in his own car. “Not possible,“ you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tun
16、nel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC (欧共体 )? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,
17、 is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused docklands. A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips
18、 in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm! 16 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours. （ B） The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one. （ C） It is considered to be more difficult to swim acros
19、s the channel than any other means. （ D） A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast. 17 A tunnel would be_. （ A） less expensive to be built than a bridge （ B） more expensive to be built than a bridge （ C） less expensive to be built than a rail （ D） more expensive to be built than a rail
20、 18 If they built a Channel tunnel, you would_. （ A） neither take a train nor go by car （ B） either take a train or go by car （ C） only take a train （ D） only take a bus 19 It can be concluded that many of Londons dockyards are _. （ A） not used （ B） fully used （ C） seriously blocked （ D） opened agai
21、n 20 Channel link would_. （ A） allow us to buy fish and chips in France （ B） make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and faster （ C） decrease more trade for Londons dockyards （ D） make London more prosperous again 20 Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen
22、 and sportswom-en kills the essence of sport-the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competi-tive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about e
23、njoying himself, and he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation. A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention
24、 “Argentina“ to someone, and the chances are that hell think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “put Argentina on the map.“ Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in Eng-land felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last y
25、ear thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money travel-ing to Argentina, where the finals were played. So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not!(77) Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their m
26、en proved the most skilful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But its nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best. 21 What is the authors main purpose in the passage? （ A） To prove that football is the worlds most importa
27、nt sport. （ B） To show that Argentina is better than all others. （ C） To compare Scotland with Argentina. （ D） To explain the role of sport. 22 In the second paragraph, the word “summit“ means _. （ A） highest point （ B） mountain top （ C） award （ D） summary 23 According to the passage, Argentina is w
28、orld-famous because of its _. （ A） large number of sports fans and supporters （ B） success in the football World Cup （ C） obvious position on the map （ D） excellence at most important sports 24 According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will _. （ A） fail to succeed （ B） b
29、e successful （ C） lose enjoyment （ D） be irrational 25 What is the authors attitude towards international games? （ A） Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield. （ B） Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as the best in all aspects. （ C） Nations that w
30、in in international games prove the best on the sports field at least. （ D） Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways. 26 If you smoke particularly cigarettes you are far more likely than a non smoker to suffer or die from several major diseases not
31、ably lung cancer. One smoker in four dies prematurely (过早地 ) because of his smoking. The risk of dying for a heavy smoker (between the ages of 35 and 55) is roughly equal to the risk run by a non smoker 113 years older. Cigarette smoking and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking may aggravate(使恶
32、化 ) or be partly responsible for the development of a wide variety of other diseases ,which include cancers of the mouth and throat ,peptic ulcers (胃溃疡 ), and loss of teeth. (77) Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who dont. Take lung can
33、cer for example: Britains lung cancer figures are the highest in the world, and rising. Ninety people die every day, 33, 000 in 1969. Almost all these deaths can attributed directly to tobacco smoking. (78) The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are, at present, remote, and it is impossible to esti
34、mate when, if ever, someone will find one. You would be foolish to rely on someone finding a cure before you needed it. One man in eight who dies between the ages of 35 and 64 is kill ed by lung cancer. The figures for women in this age group are lower, about 1 in 20. This is partly because women sm
35、oke less, and have not smoked as long. But the figures are still very high. 26 According to the passage, lung cancer _. （ A） is the major cause of death between the ages of 35 and 55 （ B） is most often caused by smoking （ C） never affects non smokers （ D） has nothing to do with smoking 27 Women who
36、smoke during pregnancy produce _. （ A） lighter babies than those who dont （ B） heavier babies than those who dont （ C） babies who cant live long （ D） babies who suffer from heart diseases 28 The cure for lung cancer _. （ A） can be found before long （ B） is available if one needs it （ C） is unknown a
37、t present （ D） will be found before you need it 29 The passage suggests that women _. （ A） smoke as much as men （ B） react better than men to smoking （ C） are affected by smoking only during pregnancy （ D） run the risks as men if they smoke 30 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） Man smokers l
38、ive shorter than woman smokers. （ B） All the deaths in Britain result directly from tobacco smoking. （ C） Smoking is the main killer of babies. （ D） Smoking can give rise to several major diseases. 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
