9、aking a lot of money.These students can make up to twelve hundred dollars a day. They are selling their special coffee to airplane passengers. After the students get paid, the rest of the money goes to helping a local youth project.These high school students use a space in the Oakland airport. It is

10、 usually very crowded. Many people who fly on the planes like to drink the special coffee.One customer thinks that the coffee costs a lot but it is good and worth it. Most customers are pleasant but some are unhappy. They do not like it if the coffee cafe is not open for business.The students earn $

11、 6.10 an hour plus tips. They also get school credit while they learn how to run a business.

14、ness（D）Kids Cafe 24 Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing a

15、nd some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a

16、fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Amon

17、g them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.A fifth level would probably involve need

18、s 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 prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety

19、, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.25 According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing 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

22、will become attainable before the government takes actions 28 How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the sa

23、me time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the time it can save the land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. Th

24、e things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have

25、 been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount o

26、f energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs.29 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?（A）The

27、 shortage of energy and air pollution.（B） The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.（C） Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.（D）Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage. 30 The heat that is produced by burning garbage can be used to_.（A）make electricity（B） make energ

28、y source（C） boil water（D）save coal 31 What is the authors attitude?（A）Delighted.（B） Sad.（C） Agreeing.（D）Disagreeing. 32 The best title for the passage may be _.（A）Garbage and the Earth（B） Fossil Fuel and Garbage（C） Land and Garbage（D）Garbage? Energy Source 32 Many people want to know how to analyze

29、problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the prob

30、lem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lea

31、d to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.After studying the problem, the person

32、should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the

33、 final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the

34、 solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem. 33 In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except _.（A）recognize and define the problem（B） look for information to make the problem clearer（C） hav

35、e suggestions for a possible solution（D）find a solution by trial or mistake 34 By referring to Sams broken bicycle, the author intends to _.（A）illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle（B） discuss the problems of his bicycle（C） tell us how to solve a problem（D）show us how simple it is to repair a bic

36、ycle 35 As used in the last sentence, the phrase “in short“ means _.（A）in the long run（B） in detail（C） in fact（D）in a word 36 What is the best title for this passage?（A）Six Stages for Repairing Sams Bicycle.（B） Possible Steps of Problem-solving.（C） Necessities of Problem Analysis.（D）Importance of An

37、alyzing a Problem. 36 Most famous people have some unusual story associated with their names. Casanova, for example, was a legend in his own time. He was the epitome of the gallant adventurer and lover. However, he spent thirteen years of his life as a librarian!Thomas Edison, the brilliant inventor

38、, was deaf from the age of twelve. The young Edisons hearing loss was long believed to have been caused when he tried to catch a moving train and a conductor grabbed him by the ears to pull him on board. Edison himself liked to tell this story. No one is really sure how he did lose his hearing.Great

39、 writers and artists often require various types of inspirational warm-up before they create. Rudyard Kipling could not write unless his pen was filled with black ink, and only black ink. Ludwig van Beethoven poured icy cold water over his head before he composed his music. He felt that the cold wat

40、er would refresh his brain. The author Charles Dickens always faced north when working or sleeping. Tycho Brahe, an important Danish astronomer, had his nose shot off in a duel with a Danish nobleman in 1566. He replaced it with another nose made of gold. President James Garfield could simultaneousl

41、y write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other.37 This passage is about famous _.（A）scientists（B） personalities（C） composers（D）leaders 38 Tycho Brahe was an important _.（A）Danish nobleman（B） Danish astronomer（C） Swedish adventurer（D）Swedish composer 39 Evidently, most artists and writers requi

42、re _.（A）inspiration（B） quiet（C） money（D）madness 40 _ the story how he lost his hearing.（A）Everyone knows（B） Edison himself liked to tell（C） No one knows（D）Edison himself disbelieved 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

43、ed A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 One of the political issues we hear a lot about lately is campaign finance reform.

47、 they have to【 31】advertising on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to display billboards along highways and banners on heavily trafficked Web sites.

48、or freedom of the press if you cant get your message out. They say that in a democracy, the government should never be able to regulate political discussion or the means to distribute ideas. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make【33】.What do you think about this i
