While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil

23、has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.Brazils population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen st

24、ill further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (通俗电视连续剧) and instalment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Braz

25、il is one of the worlds biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazils most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.“Although they have

26、 never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working,“ says Martine. “They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of beh

27、avior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package. “Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. “This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction. “ says Martine.（分数：6.

28、00）(1).According to the passage, Brazil has cut back its population growth_.（分数：1.00）A.by educating its citizensB.by careful family planningC.by developing TV programmesD.by chance(2).According to the passage, many Third World countries_.（分数：1.00）A.havent attached much importance to birth controlB.w

29、ould soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateC.havent yet found an effective measure to control their populationD.neglected the role of TV plays in family planning(3).The phrase “puts it down to“ (Line 1, Par（分数：1.00）A.3) is closest in meaning to“_”.A. attributes it toB. sums it up asC. find

30、s it a reason forD. compares it to(4).Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazils birth rate because_.（分数：1.00）A.they keep people sitting long hours watching TVB.they have gradually changed peoples way of lifeC.people are drawn to their attractive packageD.they popularize birth control measures(5).W

31、hat is Martines conclusion about Brazils population growth?（分数：1.00）A.The increase in birth rate will promote consumption.B.The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.C.Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.D.A countrys production is limited by its population gr

32、owt(6).What is the effect of the instalment to control the population?（分数：1.00）A.It allures the people to live better life, which should have no burden of too many children.B.It can lead to limited population.C.It can change the pattern of the consumption.D.It affect the opinion of the Brazil people

33、 in consumption.十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to find children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girl

34、s with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the a

35、dult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in a

36、ll part of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every c

37、ivilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a

38、direct line of ascent (进步). The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials.（分数：6.00）(1).The

39、 reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that_.（分数：1.00）A.their social roles are rigidly determinedB.most boys would like to follow their fathers professionsC.boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothersD.they like challenging a

40、ctivities(2).One aspect of “the universality of toys“ lies in the fact that_.（分数：1.00）A.technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toysB.the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universitiesC.the exploration of the universe has led to the creation

41、 of new kinds of toysD.the basic characteristics of toys are the same the world over(3).Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys?（分数：1.00）A.The craftsmanship in toy-making has remained essentially unchanged.B.Toys have remained basically the same all through t

42、he centuries.C.The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.D.Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character.(4).Regarded as a kind of art form, toys_.（分数：1.00）A.follow a direct line of ascentB.also appeal greatly to adultsC.are not characte

43、rized by technological progressD.reflect the pace of social progress(5).The author used the example of a rattle to show that_.（分数：1.00）A.in toy-making there is a continuity in the use of materialsB.even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC.it often takes a long time to introduce

44、 new technology into toy-makingD.even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time(6).The best title for this article is_.（分数：1.00）A.How and When the Toy Developed.B.Toy Can Imitate the Social Behavior.C.Child Grows from Playing Toy.D.Different Culture and Different Toy.十一、Passage Three(总

45、题数：1，分数：6.00)The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this

46、 interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) s

47、uch devices from being used during “critical“ stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers fr

48、om using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which

49、affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the p
