13、statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation (通货膨胀 ) ? Left in a bank it w

14、ill hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to of

15、fer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques. I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. “The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and mak

16、es a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens round its young peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves. “ Whe

17、ther or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixe

18、d place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings. However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and

19、invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past. Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is s

20、till possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit? 16 According to the passage, collecting antique clocks _. （ A） can hardly keep the value of your savings （ B） will cost much

21、 of your savings （ C） may increase your wealth （ D） needs your bravery 17 By quoting (引用 ) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to _. （ A） suggest human beings are controlled by a clock （ B） describe why clocks can rule the planet Earth （ C） tell readers what clocks look lik

24、lecting antique clocks （ C） to compare different ways to make a future profit （ D） to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time 20 If you smoke-particularly cigarettes-you are far more likely than a non-smoker to suffer or die from several major diseases-notably lung cancer. One smoker in

25、 four dies prematurely (过早的 ) because of his smoking. The risk of dy-ing for a heavy smoker (between the ages of 35 and 55) is roughly equal to the risk run by a non-smoker 10 years older. Cigarette smoking-and to a lesser degree pipe and cigar smoking-may aggravate (使恶化 ) or be partly responsible f

26、or the development of a wide variety of other diseases, which include cancers of the mouth and throat, peptic ulcers (胃溃疡 ), and loss of teeth. Women who smoke during pregnancy produce babies on average about 5 to 8 ounces lighter than those who dont. Take lung cancer for example.Britains lung cance

27、r figures are the highest in the world, and still rising. Ninety peo-ple die every day, 33,000 in 1969. Almost all these deaths can be attributed directly to to-bacco smoking. The prospects of a cure for lung cancer are, at present, remote, and it is impossible to estimate when, if ever, someone wil

28、l find one. You would be foolish to rely on someone finding a cure before you needed it. One man in eight who die between the ages of 35 and 64 is killed by lung cancer. The figures for women in this age group are lower, about 1 in 20. This is partly because women smoke less, and have not smoked as

29、long.

They have a beginning, a middle, and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or fou

33、r minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not, Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.“ “Drink Beer.“ “Fill up with Pacific Gas.“ Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are

34、 you spared the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!“ The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if youve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed-new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and its fun

35、to try to figure it out the first hour or so. (77) If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down

36、. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But youve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops. The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will so

37、on be over and theres a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. (78) By now youve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests-even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end come
