Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and
13、choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.30 When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label (标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is fa
14、mous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was
15、 bought. When a person buys a fur coat ,or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The inf
16、ormation on the label must be the truth.The reason for this label is that most buyers today arent expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.31 In the article ,the author says a lit
17、tle about _.(A)black-market furs(B) managers office(C) chemical laboratories(D)clothing stores 32 This article mainly refers to _.(A)making furs and clothes(B) protecting buyers with law(C) keeping the buyer informed(D)businessmen and sellers 33 The author doesnt agree that _.(A)buyers buy the cloth
18、es without labels(B) clothing stores sell cheap dresses(C) all the products have labels(D)labels are not true 34 Which of the following is true?(A)A T-shirt seldom carries a label.(B) A fur coat with a high price often carries a false label.(C) A label only says what material the product is made of.
19、(D)Not all buyers know the materials they are buying. 34 Beijing is to spend up to US $ 20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st-century one for the 2008 Olympics.The government managed to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Par
20、is, London or Washington by 2008.Hundreds of millions o1 dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the citys homes, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas.The money will also be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green be
21、lts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijings waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.Olympic officials realize the city has a long way to go to match the environmental standards of such cities as Paris, Toronto, Istanbul and Osaka.City officials have already announced that around
22、 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic congestion (拥挤)and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijings first light railway, a 40.5-kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2005.Beijing plans to build an 82.55-kilometer-long subway to add to existing 53 kil
23、ometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened.Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green belt along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas.35 The government will pipe natural gas to the citys homes in order to _.(A)solve the problem of being short of

25、now that _.(A)lengthening the existing 53-kilometer subway is among the 50 large projects(B) the length of the subway will be up to 135.25 kilometers in 2005(C) a 40.5-meter-long line will be added to Beijings first light railway(D)a 70-meter-wide green belt will supply us with enough water 38 Which
26、 of the following is TRUE according to the passage?(A)The environment of London is better than Toronto.(B) In the first paragraph the underlined part means a modern and advance capital.(C) Beijing is badly polluted mainly by coal burning.(D)Liquefied gas is more expensive than petrol. 38 One of the
27、greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate (率) from the disease has been increasing at an alarming Speed for the past thirty years. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regulary, by not smoking, by changing their
28、 diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress (压力) in their work.However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. In stead o
29、f supporting such programs, however, the U. S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease, after it develops. This emhasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken in the past ten to fifteen y
30、ears. In this time, modern technology, has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operation that were considered impossible or too risky (有风险的) a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge in crease in heart surgery.Although there is no
31、doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care
32、 to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that do
33、ctors are encouraged to perform surger-even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary-because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery ,
34、for example, 0nly 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.39 What effect has modern technology had on medicine?(A)It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.(B) It has helped s
35、ave the lives of most patients.(C) It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.(D)It have helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 40 “To do this“ ( in Paragraph 3 ) means _.(A)to help patients recover(B) to increase the number of heart surgeries(C) to get back the money
36、 spent on the equipment(D)to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease 41 The author would agree that _.(A)more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease(B) heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions(C) modern technology has made heart surgery more risk
37、y than before(D)the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 42 What would be the best title for the passage _.(A)The Greatest Killer in the West(B) Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent(C) Modern Technology and Heart Surgery(D)Heart Surgery: Advantage and Disadvantages 42 I was 14
38、 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Hear, Okla. The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass.

39、s activity.Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes.

40、ck.Mr. Ingram explained that the trucks owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasnt long before a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible reputation (名声) for fighting and stealing, showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.Calmly Mr. Ingram
41、 said, “Well, I see you want to buy some watermelons.“There was a long silence before the man answered,“ Yeah, I guess so. What are you getting for them?“Twenty-five cents each.“Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here.“It turned out to be our biggest sale of t
42、he summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate, incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me,“ Son, if you dont for give (原谅) your enemies, youre going to run out of friends. “Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me
