24、on people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual. Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and the National Punctuality Working Committee can only use gentle persuasion. “Being on time means being considerate,“ said

25、 committee chairman Toh Weng Cheong. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rooted habit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardiness at dinner parties is usually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older and more important guests were

26、expected an entrance after the others. Meanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy campaign, a HK ￥ 2.4 million drive to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners. Earlier courtesy campaigns used posters, films, advertisements in newspapers and magazines to portray con

27、siderate behavior. The publicity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate public campaigns to change behavior and raise civil consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore for more than 30 years. Some, like the courtesy drive, deal with basic h

28、abits and culture. October was first declared “Speak Mandarin Month“ in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in favor of the official, tongue. Others focus on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of the emergency phone number 999, because one call i

29、n five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety. Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parents to “Stop at Two“ in 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3.5 per cent in 1960 to 1.2 percent in 1980, and families who can afford it are now encouraged to

30、 “Have Three or More“. By the early 1980s, the growth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a “take your campaigns seriously campaign“. 43 In the passage, the word “tardiness“ (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means_. （ A） punctuality （ B） impoliteness （ C） dishonesty

31、（ D） lateness 44 The courtesy drive was launched in Singapore to_. （ A） develop appropriate personal habits （ B） stress the importance of punctuality （ C） make the people more polite （ D） urge the officials to be on time 45 When did the campaign to standardize spoken language begin? （ A） In 1960. （

32、B） In 1978. （ C） In 1980. （ D） In 1989. 46 Which of the following is NOT tree? （ A） Singapore has always been a highly efficient country in every way. （ B） The campaigns are not always very effective in Singapore. （ C） Singapore does its best to make its people more polite. （ D） Not all the campaign

33、s are launched every year. 47 Which of the following statements is correct in the passage? （ A） All the campaigns are to improve peoples behavior. （ B） There are too many campaigns in Singapore. （ C） The more campaigns, the more efficient they are. （ D） Almost ail campaigns in Singapore dont amount

34、to anything. 47 Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there i

35、s money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears. The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Ameri

36、cans, Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels inv61ve physical satisfaction the

37、 feeling, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best .medical and dental care, a

38、nd entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to service, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income

39、 increase, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudi

40、ce. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. 48 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clo

41、thing only when_. （ A） he has saved up enough money （ B） he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter （ C） he has satisfied, his hunger （ D） he has learned to build houses 49 It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War most Americans_. （ A） were very rich （ B） live in pover

42、ty （ C） had the good things on the first three levels （ D） did not own automobiles 50 Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction“ ? （ A） A successful career. （ B） A cozy home. （ C） A good meal. （ D） A family car. 51 What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? （ A） The m

43、ore foods the better. （ B） The more mental satisfaction the better. （ C） The more “luxury“ items the better. （ D） The more earnings the better. 52 The author is inclined to think that a fifth level （ A） would be little better than the fourth level （ B） may be a lot more satisfying level than the fir

44、st four （ C） can be the last and most satisfying level （ D） will become attainable provided the government takes actions 52 Death comes quickly in the mountains. Winter holiday makers are caught unaware as they happily ski away from the fixed runs, little realizing that a small avalanche (雪崩 ) can s

45、end them crashing in a bone breaking fall down the slope and leave them buried under tons of white snow. There are lots of theories about how to avoid disaster when hit by an avalanche. Practice is normally less cheerful. The snow in the Salzburg of Austria where a recent disaster took place was typ

46、ical avalanche material. For several days before the incident I had skied locally. Early winter snow was wearing thin and covered with ice. On top of that new, warmer flakes (雪片 ) were gently falling to produce a dangerous carpet. To the skier who enjoys unmarked slopes it is tempting stuff, deep ne

47、w powder snow on a hard base the skiing that dreams are made of. And sometimes nightmares. Snow falls in sections like a cake. Different sections will have different densities because of the temperatures at the time of the fall and in the weeks afterwards. Problems come when any particular section i

48、s too thick and not sticking to the section beneath. The snow of the past few weeks had been falling in rather higher temperatures than those of December and early January. The result of these conditions is that even a light increase in the temperature sends a thin stream of water between the new sn

49、ow and the old. Then the new snow simply slides off the mountain. Such slides are not unexpected. Local citizens know the slopes which tend to avalanche and the weather in which such slides are like. Traps are Set to catch the snow or prevent it slipping; bombs are placed and exploded from time to time to set off small avalanches before a big one has time to build up; and, above all, skiers are warned not to ski in dangerous areas.
