2、 Answer Sheet.0 The ancient Chinese called jade the stone of immortality. It has been used as adornment by women for thousands of years.Cutting and polishing the raw stone is a tedious process. It often takes months. After initial cutting, a piece is ground to its desired formbeing passed from rough

3、 to smooth grindstones. “Our job is to subtract; we cannot add,“ smiles an experienced carver.In judging jade, a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing. It is the easiest gem to imitate. Some of the cheap natural jade can be dyed to a beautiful green. Cruder imitations are made of glass or plas

4、tic; but these are easier to detect, since they are smoother than the real gem, which has a slightly uneven surface and a rather greasy look.No two gems are alike. Jade is priced according to its colour and translucence(半透明的). Prices range from a few dollars for an opaque(不透明的), dull-green stone to

5、thousands for one with a true, clear, emerald green. The guidelines for buying jade are few and simple; Buy jade only after having seen it under natural light.

8、Possessing a car gives a much greater degree of mobility, enabling the driver to move around freely. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport and is, therefore, not compelled to work locally. He can choose from different jobs and probably changes his work more frequently as

9、 he is not restricted to a choice within a small radius. Traveling to work by car is also more comfortable than having to use public transportation the driver can adjust the heating in winter and the air conditioning in summer to suit his own needs and preference. There is no irritation caused by wa

10、iting for trains, buses or underground trains, standing in long patient queues, or sitting on windy platforms, for as long as half an hour sometimes. With the building of good, fast motorways long distances can be covered rapidly and pleasantly. For the first time in this century also, many people a

11、re now able to enjoy their leisure time to the full by making trips to the country or seaside at the weekends, instead of being confined to their immediate neighborhood. This feeling of independence, and the freedom to go where you please, is perhaps the greatest advantage of the car.When considerin

12、g the drawbacks, perhaps pollution is of prime importance. As more and more cars are produced and used, so the emission from their exhaust pipes contains an ever-larger volume of poisonous gas.

13、he health of people. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to deal with the problem of traffic in towns; most of the important cities of the world suffer from traffic congestion.

14、 jams. The mounting cost of petrol and the increased license fees and road tax all add to the driver s worries. In fact, he must sometimes wonder if the motorcar is such a blessing and not just a menace.5 More and more people can afford to buy and use cars because_.（A）an increasing number of cars ar

17、o the people caused by the widespread use of motor cars?（A）Air pollution.（B） Traffic jams.（C） Fatal diseases.（D）High cost.8 The favorite food in the United States is hamburger. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a

18、few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their homes. At some fast food restaurants, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without leaving their cars.There are many kinds of fast food resta

19、urants in the United States. The greatest in number sell hamburgers, French fries and so on, which are popular food among Americans. Besides, fast food, Italian food, chicken, seafood and ice-cream are also very common. The idea of a fast food restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food

20、can be found in one.Fast food restaurants are popular because they reflect American life style. Customers can wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place. Second, they are fast. People who are busy do not want to spend time preparing their own food or waiting while someone prepares it.

24、taurants.（C） It is because people like to eat hamburgers.（D）It is because fast food restaurants sell nearly every kind of food.11 Do people everywhere agree on what a mountain is? The fact is that definitions vary. Everyone admits, for example, that Everest is, a mountain, the highest of them all, w

25、ith an altitude of almost 30 000 feet. But what about Snowdon, the loftiest peak in Wales? It rises a mere 3 000 feet, yet it is also called a mountain. Comparison, a little matter of relativity, is the key. To the average person living on North America s Great Plains, Vermont s Green Mountains look

26、 lofty indeed, but to anyone from the Rocky Mountains, the Great Mountains seem nothing more than hills.Geographers generally agree that, to be a mountain topographically(在地形学方面), a landmass must reach, an altitude of 3 000 feet above the level of the sea. Mount Everest, for instance, is 30 000 feet

27、 above sea level, but only 15 000 feet above the neighboring Tibetan plateau. Geologists restrict the definition even more, maintaining that a mountain is a mountain by virtue of its geological structure. Some rugged highlands are not really mountains, while some flat, low-lying rock surfaces are tr

28、ue mountains. They are low now because of centuries of erosion. There are even mountains under the sea, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, for example.
