15、 in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and write down the corresponding letter./BBPassage One/BIt is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time.

16、 Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effectgood and badthe drug will have on the taker. This will require heroic honesty.For the record, I have once almost every drug and like none, disproving the popular theory that taking a sing

17、le smoke of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad for certain people to take and they should be told why in a sensible way.Along with advice and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation men who believed that each man has the

18、fight to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbors pursuit of happiness.Now one can hear the warning, if everyone is allowed to take drugs, everyone will, and the gross national product will decrease and we shall end up a race of fools. Alarming thought.

19、Yet it seems most likely that any reasonably healthy-minded person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to be like.Is everyone reasonably sensible? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunken, and it is just too b

20、ad. Every man, however, has the power to kill himself if he chooses. But since most men dont, they wont be the majority, either. Nevertheless, forbidding people things they like or think they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more. This psychological insight is, for some mysterio

22、ny people believe that _ .（分数：3.00）A.taking drugs once in a while will not be harmfulB.a single smoke of opium will make you an addict to itC.the authorities are honest in dealing with the drug problemD.It is a heroic activity to destroy all the drugs available(3).According to the author, forbidding

23、 people to take drugs is _.（分数：3.00）A.unacceptable to the majority of peopleB.not an effective way to stop drug addictionC.in the interest of the people and the governorsD.in agreement with the basic rights of citizens(4).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? _（分数：3.00）A.Few peopl

24、e will take drugs if they are allowed.B.The United States will be easily defeated if its citizens are allowed to take drugs.C.It is a general practice to forbid drugs in different countries.D.A majority of people will become addict to drugs if they are allowed to take them.BPassage Two/BNormally a s

25、tudent must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives a credit which may matter toward a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of

26、three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a lon

27、ger period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course followed a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to pro

28、spective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective word of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the r

29、ules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to a later career

30、.（分数：12.00）(1).Normally a student would at least attend _ classes each week.（分数：3.00）A.36B.20C.12D.15(2).According to the first paragraph, an American student is allowed _ .（分数：3.00）A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive

31、to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities(3).Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _ .（分数：3.00）A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions he

32、lp them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well-paid(4).The student organizations seem to be effective in _ .（分数：3.00）A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students performance by bringing them before a c

33、ourtD.keeping up the students enthusiasm for social activitiesBPassage Three/BThe English, as a race, have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities, including their close neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the r

34、est of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguished him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he

35、knows very well. When he meets with strangers of foreigners, he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this, serious-looking businesses and women sit reading their newspaper or dozing in a corner, no one speaks. In f

36、act, to do so would seem most usual. An English wit, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “on entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers.“ Needless to Say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior

37、which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given haft a chance, they will talk about it in length. Some people argue that it is because English weather forecast is undependable, as a r

38、esult, English weather is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological expertsthe weathermenwho, after promising glorious, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when an anti-cyclone or as inaccurate as the w

39、eatherman in his prediction. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishman leaving home on a bright, sunny summer morning with a raincoat slung over an arm and an umbrella in his hand. So variable is the weather that by lunch time there could be thundering.The overseas visitors may

40、be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conventional greetings are replaced by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isnt?“ “Beautiful!“ may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?

41、“ Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin, he would do well to mention the state of the weather. It

42、is a safe subject, which will encourage even the most reserved Englishmen to enter into a conversation.（分数：12.00）(1).What does “meteorological experts “mean in paragraph three? _（分数：3.00）A.predictorsB.witchC.weathermenD.a kind of Englishman(2).Why does the common man in England seem to be as accurat

43、eor as inaccurateas the weatherman in his prediction? _（分数：3.00）A.Because the weather in England is so variable.B.Because the common man in England has as much knowledge about weather as the weathermen.C.Because by lunchtime there could be thunder and lightening in England.D.Because English weather

44、always defies forecast.(3).In England, which of the following greetings are more likely to be heard ? _（分数：3.00）A.What a beautiful day!B.Good morning, how are you?C.How do you do?D.Nice to meet you!(4).In the following, which subject is the safest one to start a conversation? _（分数：3.00）A.Salary.B.Pr

45、ivacy.C.Politics.D.Weather.BPassage Four/BOf all the problems facing modern astronomers, perhaps the most fascinating one is “can intelligent life exist elsewhere?“ Since the earth is a unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star, it would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the on

46、ly intelligent beings in the universe. But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the Solar System appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms. The Moon may be ruled out at once; it has hardly any atmosphere. Venus is little better; the surface t

47、emperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water, may well support simple that life seems no hope of finding animals, while the alternative Martians of the story-tellers have since been given up.Of course this h

48、as not stopped the flow of bright ideas of communicating with the supposed people on Mars. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree-patterns in patterns, so that the Martians would see them and replay suitably. Following up this idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed, digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangular“ which would show the existe
