(76) B

2、ut brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “Hi“, indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank

3、, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may re- quire a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77) If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, the

4、y may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They dont want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans dont usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept g

5、ifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return.

9、Americans only want to get gifts from others三、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(78) The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists (经济学家). It has been argued that the supply of good land is l

10、imited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for

11、 specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that of ficial attitudes to population growth

12、vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits offood, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government

13、to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. (79) When the pressure of population on housing

14、 declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.（分数：10.00）(1).A smaller population may mean_。（分数：2

17、ed nationB.a developing nationC.every nation with a big populationD.every nation with a small population(5).It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because_.（分数：2.00）A.there are too many underdeveloped countries in the worldB.underdeveloped countries have

18、 low level of industrial developmentC.different governments have different views about the problemD.even developed countries may have complex problems四、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off

19、 when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C

20、We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.I

21、n Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Eu- rope to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrel

22、la practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and author-ity.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. (80) It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens u
