Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct

15、 choice. 26 In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生 ) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of to

16、wns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town resid

17、ents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce(推行 ); it would cause a great deal of resentment(不满 ), which would ultimately lead to violence. The on

18、ly long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be

19、 improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous o

20、r previous development of the rural area. 26 What does the word “urban“ (Line 2, Para. 3) mean? （ A） Of the city. （ B） Out of work. （ C） In a bad condition. （ D） Of enormous size. 27 Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because _. （ A） they can hardly support their families on farms （ B）

21、they are unhappy with their life in the country （ C） the rural areas are too crowded with people （ D） they hope to have their own business 28 In the authors view, solving the cities problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is _. （ A） practical （ B） possible （ C） not realistic （ D） not suffici

22、ent 29 According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if _. （ A） traditional methods of farming are well kept （ B） conditions in rural areas are much improved （ C） the government can provide more jobs （ D） violence could be controlled in dries 30 Which factor is most importa

23、nt for people to be attracted to live in the country? （ A） Their expectation. （ B） Their interests. （ C） Their income. （ D） Their attitude. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 30 The business cycle is composed of ma

24、ny phases and one of them is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded.

25、Improvements of serious kinds are made. There is an ever increasingly positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy“ industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As more parts of the economy develop, other parts are affected.

26、 For example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are activated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials. This increases t

27、he amount of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity develops among the various parts of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase. 31 Which o

28、f the following does NOT happen in economic recovery? （ A） The expansion of existing facilities. （ B） The creation of new business. （ C） The disappearance of old business. （ D） The increase of optimism about the future of economy. 32 Which of the following indicates the end of the expansion phase? （

29、 A） The increase of raw materials. （ B） The growth stopping at a peak. （ C） The further increase of labours. （ D） The volume expansion of goods. 33 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） Sections of economy do not influence each other. （ B） In the expansion phase the business

30、maintains development in the long run. （ C） The end of the business in the prosperity period can be obviously seen. （ D） Parts of economy are closely related to each other. 34 We can infer from the last paragraph that _. （ A） economic expansion is fast （ B） the business can expand endlessly （ C） the

31、 end of one business expansion will certainly happen （ D） economic rise to the peak is slow 35 Which is probably the best title for this passage? （ A） Development of Economy. （ B） Becovery of Economy. （ C） Expansion of Economy. （ D） Prosperity of Economy.
