Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 30 I was not more than thirteen years old at the time, (31) _, but I remember the moment as if

11、 it (32)_yesterday. I had just taken my place in class, (33)_ I noticed a small shining coin a few feet away from my desk. I am sure it was not the desire for gain which prompted me to stoop and pick it up, (34) _ the coin was a farthing and almost completely worthless. But its newness (35) _me, and

12、 the fact (36) _ I could not spend a coin of such small value, made me want to keep it forever (37) _ the teacher was talking to us. I pretended to (38) _ a pencil and bent over. From that moment, the coin was mine.The farthing and I remained firm friends for years. Trousers wore (39) _, but the coi

13、n survived. It lived to see short trousers become long ones; it accompanied me in my youth and early manhood. It joined the army with me during the war, and later came to the office every day when I became a (40) _ again.Every night when I emptied my pockets and placed their contents on my bedside t

14、able, the coin (41) _its appearance. Sometimes, it would play hide and seek with me and make me dig deeply into my pockets. But sure enough, it was always there, trapped inside larger items, (42) _ a penknife (43) _ in the folds of my handkerchief. It certainly kept strange company. When I was a boy

15、, it would attach itself (44) _ sticky sweets, or get caught in pieces of wire. When I grew up, it took its place proudly beside the silver coins that jingled in my pocket. It had reason to be proud, for I am sure it knew (45) _I would rather have lost every single coin I had than part with the prec

16、ious little farthing. It did not shine any more, but at night time it would unfailingly arrive, last but smiling, and look up at me(46) _my bedside table.One night, (47) , the coin was missing. I searched everywhere, but weeks passed and I didnt find it. This time, I realized sadly that it had gone

17、for (48) _and could only hope it had found (49) _ nicer pocket to live (50) .Part ADirections: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 The destruction of our natural resources and contamination of our fo

18、od supply continue to occur, largely because of the extreme difficulty in affixing legal responsibility on those who continue to treat our environment with reckless abandon. Attempts to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and friendly persuasion have been met by lawsuits, personal

19、and industrial denial and long delays not only in accepting responsibility, but more importantly, in doing something about it. It seems that only when the government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industrys and our recogniti

20、on that protecting mankinds great treasure is the single most important responsibility? If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is

21、 demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologist, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of

22、us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge.We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-vision

23、ed in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the qua

24、lity of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we ca

25、n finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.51 We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because_.（A）they are una

26、ware of the consequences of what they are doing（B） they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests（C） time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it（D）it is difficult for them to take effective measures52 The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conserv

27、ationists is（A）to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasion（B） to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protection（C） to take radical measures to control environmental pollution（D）to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards53 Th

28、e word “tunnel-visioned“(Para 3, Line 2) most probably means_.（A）narrow-minded（B） blind to the facts（C） short-sighted（D）able to see only one aspect54 Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?（A）Legislation and government

29、intervention.（B） The industrys understanding and support.（C） The efforts of environmental health professionals.（D）The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.55 Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?（A）Efforts should be exerted on pollution pr

30、evention instead of on remedial measures.（B） More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.（C） Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution.（D）Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.55 Consumers and producers obviously make decisions tha

31、t mold the economy, but there is a third major element to consider the role of government. Government has a powerful effect on the economy in at least four ways:Direct Services. The postal system, for example, is a federal system serving the entire nation, as is the large and complex military establ

32、ishment. Conversely, the construction and maintenance of most highways is the responsibility of the individual states, and the public educational systems, despite a large funding role by the federal government, are primarily paid for by county or city governments. Police and fire protection and sani

33、tation services are also the responsibilities of local government.Regulation and Control. The government regulates and controls private enterprise in many ways, for the purpose of assuring that business serves the best interests of the people as a whole. Regulation is necessary in areas where privat

34、e enterprise is granted a monopoly, such as in telephone or electric service, or in other areas where there is limited competition, as with railroads or airlines. Public policy permits such companies to make a reasonable prof-it, but limits their ability to raise prices unfairly (as defined by the r

35、egulators), since the public depends on their services. Often control is exercised to protect the public, as for example, when the Food and Drug Administration bans harmful drugs, or requires standards of quality in food. In other industries, government sets guidelines to ensure fair competition wit

36、hout using direct control.Stabilization and Growth. Branches of government, including Congress and such entities as the Federal Reserve Board, attempt to control the extremes of boom and bust, of inflation and depression, by adjusting tax rates (including regulations pertaining to depreciation), the

37、 money supply, and the use of credit. They can also affect the economy through changes in the amount of public spending by the government itself.Direct Assistance. The government provides many kinds of help to businesses and individuals. For example, tariffs permit certain products to remain relativ

38、ely free of foreign competition; imports are sometimes taxed so that American products are able to compete better with certain foreign goods. Government also provides aid to farmers by subsidizing prices they receive for their crops. In quite a different area, government supports individuals who can

39、not adequately care for themselves, by making grants to working parents with dependent children, by providing medical care for the aged and the indigent, and through social insurance programs to help the unemployed and retirees. Government also supplies relief for the poor and help for the disabled.

40、56 Which of the following services is not offered by the federal government?（A）Postal system.（B） Military establishment.（C） Funding the public educational systems.（D）Police and fire protection service.57 The government regulate private enterprises for the main purpose of_.（A）promoting the growth of

41、the national economy（B） assuring the business serves the best interests of the people（C） eliminating unfair competitions（D）fighting against the competitions from foreign countries58 If the US government raises its tariffs, then_.（A）the American products may get an upper hand in competing with certai

42、n foreign goods（B） the American consumers can buy more cheap foreign-made products（C） the import volume of US may increase greatly（D）the domestic inflation can be eliminated59 The Food and Drug Administration was established for the purpose of_.（A）eliminating monopoly（B） supervising the standards of

43、 quality in food（C） fighting against the governments control（D）fighting against the foreign competition60 In telephone or electric service, regulation is necessary because_.（A）in these areas monopoly has been established（B） these areas are faced with fierce competitions（C） these enterprises are incl

44、ined to make unfair security（D）these enterprises concern a lot with the public security60 A very important world problemin fact, I think it may be most important of all the great world problems which face us at the present timeis the rapidly increasing pressure of population on the land.The populati

45、on of the world today is about 4, 000, 000, 000. That is an enormous number, yet it is known quite accurately, because there are very few parts of the world which have not carried out a modern census.The important thing is not so much the actual population of twenty millionabout six months increase

46、in world population. Take Australia. There are ten million people in Australia. So it takes the world about three months to add to itself a population which peoples that vast country. Let us take our own crowded country, England and Walesforty-five to fifty million people. This is just about a years

47、 supply.By this time tomorrow, and every day, there will be added to the earth about 120. 000 extra peoplejust about the population of the city of York. I am not talking about birth rate. This is net increase. To give you some idea of birth rate, look at the second hand of your watch. Every second,

48、three babies are born somewhere in the world. Another baby! Another baby! You cannot speak quickly enough to keep up with the birth rate.This enormous increase of population will create immense problems. Unless something terrible happens, there will be as many as 7, 000, 000, 000 people on the surfa

49、ce of the earth! So this is a problem which you are going to see in your lifetime.61 The population of the world today is about_.（A）400 million（B） 4 billion（C） 400 million（D）40 billion62 England and Wales_.（A）have a bigger population problem than Australia（B） have the same population increase rate as Australia（C） have the same number of people as the worlds yearly increase（D）can supply Australia with a whole years increase of people63 Acco
