It has completely re【 77】 the horse as a m【 78】 of everyday transportation. Americans use their

26、 car for nearly 90% of all per【 79】 business. Most Americans are able to buy cars. The average price of a regularly m【 80】 car was 50 in 1950, 470 in 1960 and up to, 750 in 1975. D【 81】 this period American car manufactures set about im【 82】 their products and work efficiency. As a result, the yearl

27、y income of the av【 83】 family increased from 1950 to 1975 f【 84】 than the price of cars. For this reason purchasing a new a car t【 85】 a smaller part of a familys total earnings today.

28、】 8.3 of a familys annual earnings, by 1975 it only took 4.75 month in【 88】 . In addition, the 1975 cars were technically sup【 89】 to models from previous years. The influence of automobile extends throughout the economy as the car is so imp【 90】 to American. Americas spend more m【 91】 in keeping th

29、eir cars running than on any other item. Section A 60 Every Chinese schoolchild is drilled in the motherlands historic “Four Inventions“: gunpowder, paper, printing and the compass. But last week a somewhat unlikely item was added to the list of things for which the rest of the world should apparent

30、ly be grateful to China-the sauna. According to China Daily, the sauna “may well have once been a popular luxury in ancient China“, and “related records on steam bathing by ancient Chinese may be found in various historical accounts“. It seems that nothing was beyond the ancient Chinese. A couple of

31、 years ago, an article claimed that China had also invented golf, which was news to Scotland. And in the recent Peking Toilet Exhibition, photographs of archaeological remains were produced to demonstrate that China was home to the earliest known public convenience. Finland, which has a million saun

32、as for its population of five million, is likely to be devastated by this latest revelation. According to China Daily, during the Warring States period (475BC-221BC), Shi Hu, the King of Zhao of the Jie ethnic group, used to bathe in the steam from a pool into which more than 1,000 scalding metal ba

33、rs, each weighing just over 40Ib, had been plunged. As for Kubla Khan, “struck down by a disabling illness“ one day after fighting, “his attendants poured water on a scorching hot stone to make steam“ which helped him to expel a blood clot, explained the newspaper. “It is possible that the Chinese s

34、tyle of steaming or fuming found its way to Finland and was eventually accepted by the Finns,“ said China Daily, suggesting that the Chinese invention could have spread to Finland when the Hun people, who originated in China, invaded Hungary in 376AD. However, a Finnish spokesman argued that saunas

35、in Finland dated back to the Stone Age and there was much more to the sauna than just a bit of steam. The fundamentals of the sauna experience included “forests, lakes, clean air and fresh water“, he said. 61 “Nothing was beyond the ancient Chinese“ (Line 1, Para.3) means _. （ A） ancient Chinese wer

36、e capable of everything （ B） ancient Chinese could do very little （ C） if ancient Chinese could not do it, others could not either （ D） ancient Chinese people could do everything better than Scottish people 62 The pool in which Shi Hu bathed was heated by _. （ A） hot stones （ B） hot metal bars （ C）

37、hot water （ D） hot wind 63 Which of the following is true? （ A） Hungarian people invaded Finland. （ B） Chinese people brought the sauna to Hungary. （ C） The sauna was popular in Shi Hus time. （ D） Kubla Khan invented the sauna. 64 According to the Finnish spokesman, the major difference between the

38、ancient Chinese saunas and the Finnish ones is that the latter _. （ A） used fuming （ B） used a natural pool （ C） emphasized natural environment （ D） emphasized good service 65 Judging from the way the passage is written, we can see that the writer _. （ A） is trying to assume an objective attitude （

39、B） is somewhat biased （ C） has regarded the whole thing as a joke （ D） disagree with the Finnish spokesman 65 Its an age-old dispute: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Males and females show different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in

40、 brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems while women are better at memorizing words and recognizing faces. Why the differences? A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men re

41、ly more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions-one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains evolved from ancient times, when cave m

42、en hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids. Whatever be the explanation, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply rely on different

43、 abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are that theyll still argue about whos the better driver and whos better at

44、finding the way home. 66 The first sentence means people have different ideas about whether _. （ A） men and women are from different planets （ B） men and women dont like each other （ C） there is any association between the behaviors of men and women （ D） there are any association between the behavio

45、rs of men and women 67 Women _. （ A） use both sides of the brain （ B） only use one side of the brain （ C） are more rational （ D） are more capable than men 68 The brains of men and women _. （ A） are distinctly different in structure （ B） evolve from ancient times （ C） have different functions （ D） ch

46、ange with the passage of time 69 Men and women _. （ A） have the same brains （ B） can be equally capable （ C） are equally capable of everything （ D） often have quarrels with each other 70 The example given at the end shows that _. （ A） men are all too dominating （ B） women always nag about everything

47、 （ C） men are better at finding their cars in the parking lot （ D） men and women rely on different abilities to do the same thing Section B 70 Although few would deny that its better to be rich than poor, for some people the quest for money is so all-consuming that it extinguishes all other aspects

48、of life. The cause of the compulsion to make enormous sums of money varies with the individual, but often money is a substitute for something a persons life lacks. To some, money means security. To some, it means power. To others it means they are going to be able to buy love, and to a fourth group

49、it means competition and winning the game. The belief that money can produce these things often leads to insomnia, heart attacks and problems with a spouse or children. A tremendous need for power is invariably the bottom line for those driven to make a lot of money. The bigger the pile, the more powerful they think they will feel. Parents and family background also influence a persons pursuit of money
