13、 Use of English (15 minutes) Directions: Read the following text and fill each of the numbered spaces with ONE suitable word. Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 31 (31) with the human eye, a cats (32) have more rods than cones, (33) helps the cat see in the dark. Cats also have elliptical pupils
14、that open and close faster and can become larger than our round (34). In addition, cats and some (35) nocturnal animals have a mirror like membrane on the back of their eyes, which reflects the light passing through the rods back through them in the, opposite direction, This “double exposure“ allows
15、 cats to (36) well in near darkness.The human eye changes gradually (37) age, (38) the changes are critical. In darkness, eyes adapt (39) widening the pupils to let in as much light as possible. (40) you get older, these muscles weaken and do not respond as well (41) the need to let in more light.Th
16、e result is a small (42) when you try to see in poor light. Its (43) if your eyes were still young but you were wearing sunglasses at night. There is also evidence that as we age we lose more rods (44) cones.In the young eye, rods (45) cones by nine to one in the part of the retina called the macula
17、. But an autopsy study of older adults found that while the cones (46) intact, almost a third of the rods in the macula had been lost.The less responsive muscles in the iris also affect the eyes ability to adjust when the intensity of light changes, (47) as when a car with its headlights on approach
18、es and then passes.In older eyes, this phenomenon, (48) dark adaptation, takes longer, which (49) you see less well in the dark after being in the light, and vice versa. The diminished number of rods may be a factor, but in addition, the light-sensitive pigment in the rods regenerates more slowly in
19、 (50) eyes.Part ADirections: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 In January 1995, the world witnessed the emergence of a new international economic order with the launching of the World Trade Organiz
20、ation. The WTO, which succeeds, the GATT, is expected to strengthen the world trading system and to be more effective than the GATT in governing international trade in goods and services in many ways.First, worldwide trade liberalization is expected to increase via the dramatic reductions in trade b
21、arriers to which the members of the WTO are committed. Under the WTO, members are required to reduce their tariff and non-tariffs on manufacturing goods. In addition, protecting domestic agricultural sectors from foreign competition will become extremely difficult in the new WTO system.Second, rules
22、 and regulations governing international trade will be more strongly enforced. Under the old system of the GATT, there were many cases where trade measures, such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties, were intentionally used solely for protectionist reasons. The WTOs strengthened rules and regul
23、ations will significantly reduce the abuse of such trade measures by its member countries. The WTO is also equipped with an improved dispute settlement mechanism. Accordingly, we expect to see a more effective resolution of trade disputes among the member countries in this new trade environment.Thir
24、d, new multilateral rules have been established to cover areas which the GATF did not address, such as international trade in services and the protection of intellectual property rights. There still are a number of problems that need to be resolved before international trade in services can be compl
25、etely liberalized, and newly developed ideas or technologies are fairly compensated. However, just the establishment of multilateral rules in these new areas is a significant contribution to the progress toward a global free trade system.Along with the launching of the WTO, this new era in world tra
26、de is characterized by a change in the structure of the world economy. Today, a world-wide market for goods and services is rapidly replacing a world economy composed of relatively isolated national markets. Domestic financial markets have been integrated into a truly global system, and the multinat
27、ional corporation is becoming a principal mechanism for allocating investment capital and determining the location of production sites throughout much of the world.51 Between WTO and GATT_.（A）WTO and GATF govern the international trade at the same time.（B） WTO is the pre-existence of GATT.（C） GATT i
28、s the pre-existence of WTO.（D）GATT is more effective than WTO in some aspects.52 According to this passage, _ under the WTO.（A）measures of anti-dumping and countervailing were solely used for protectionist reason.（B） it is still easy to protect domestic agricultural sectors from foreign competition.
29、（C） the people can enjoy better life.（D）members should reduce their tariff and non-tariff on products.53 Which of the following is NOT true about the WTO?（A）WTO has made good preparation for liberalization of international trade in service.（B） WTO ensures effective settlement of trade dispute.（C） Un
30、der WTO, regulations concerning international trade can be more strongly enforced.（D）WTO covers the issue of intellectual property rights.54 It can be inferred form this passage that_.（A）under GATT some measures can not be effectively enforced.（B） under GATT, the intellectual property right cannot b
31、e properly protected.（C） it is not easy for a country to become a member of WTO.（D）WTO cannot change the structure of world economy totally.55 Which can be the best title for the passage?（A）The Launching of WTO.（B） The Influence on WTO.（C） The Superiority of WTO over Gatt.（D）The Influence Caused by
32、WTO.56 Interest is steadily spreading from a minority of enthusiasts in developing renewable sources of energywind, wave and solar power, tidal and geothermal energy. Additional support for them has come with a proposal to explore the untapped sources of hydro-electric power in Scotland.The details
33、are provided by Mr. William Manser in a study provided for an expert committee to look at the developments possible for hydro-electric sites and, more important, for means of financing them.There is a clear industrial connection in Mr. Mansers study because it was done for the Federation of Civil En
34、gineering Contractors; hydro-electric schemes, by definition, have a large civil engineering component in them. Mr. Manser estimates that wind power could theoretically provide more than 7 percent of electricity supply in the United Kingdom, provided suitable sites for generators could be found. How
35、ever, the practical viability of wind power generation is not likely to be understood until 1990.Other developments using renewable energy sources are also at an early stage as far as their commercial possibilities are concerned, he believes.The best developed and most suitable form of renewable ene
36、rgy is, in his view, hydro power. The technology has been developed over centuries and is still progressing. At present it is the cheapest form of electricity generation.Mr. Manser studied past surveys of the north of Scotland and identified several as suitable for hydro-electric generation. Those a
37、re in the remote areas, usually of great natural beauty.But Mr. Manser says a well-designed dam can be impressive in itself. It is also possible to make installation as unobtrusive as possible, to the point of burying parts of them. Hydro generation involves no water pollution, smoke creation or uns
38、ightly stocking-out yards.The main trouble, which appears from his report, is financing an undertaking which has a heavy initial capital cost, and very low running costs.However, Mr. Manser does not see that as an unfamiliar position for the electricity industry. He cites the proposed construction o
39、f the new nuclear power station at Sizewell in Suffolk, which will have a high initial capital cost.The argument at Sizewell that the reason for the expenditure is that the capital will provide a benefit in lower costs and higher returns in the long-term, applies equally to hydro-electric generation
40、.56 The main subject of this passage is the_.（A）conservation of energy.（B） high costs of energy sources.（C） recycling of resources.（D）energy generated by water power.57 From the passage we understand that Mr. Mansers study was_.（A）presented by a financial committee.（B） part of a civil engineering co
41、ntract.（C） commissioned by a professional organization.（D）written in conjunction with an expert committee.58 What drawback is there to the provision of wind power generation?（A）The supply method is not yet understood.（B） Its a non-viable proposition.（C） There is a lack of suitable sites.（D）Theoretic
42、al application is still needed.59 The advantage of hydro-electric power is that it_.（A）does not damage the environment.（B） is relatively easy to install.（C） requires little or no maintenance.（D）is more suitable for remote areas.60 In Mr. Mansers opinion, the main stumbling block to the development o
43、f hydro-electric power is the_.（A）capital outlay.（B） running cost.（C） public expenditure.（D）financing risk.61 Steve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, over-colourful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writers, but novels set, and correctly
44、 set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained inte
45、rfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husbands ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded.Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of
46、Stretton, to which they had just moved. It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice. But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and
47、what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage. They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that was Steves idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a succes
48、sful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other hand, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.61 What was Steves attitu
49、de towards women who wrote love stories?（A）He would have liked to earn as much money as they did.（B） He was afraid of being compared unfavourably with them.（C） He did not think he could write about the same subjects.（D）He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.62 What did Helen have to be careful to hide?（A）Her lack of interest in history.（B） Her low opinion of her husbands writing.（C） Her dislike of her husbands admirers.（D）Her inability to understand his books.63 What were Helens feelings about the move from London to Str
