9、answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effectgood and badthe drug will hav

10、e on the taker. This will require heroic honesty.For the record, I have once almost every drug and like none, disproving the popular theory that taking a single smoke of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad for certain people to take and they should be told why in a sensible

11、way.Along with advice and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation men who believed that each man has the fight to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbors pursuit of happiness.Now one can hear the warn

12、ing, if everyone is allowed to take drugs, everyone will, and the gross national product will decrease and we shall end up a race of fools. Alarming thought. Yet it seems most likely that any reasonably healthy-minded person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to

13、 be like.Is everyone reasonably sensible? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunken, and it is just too bad. Every man, however, has the power to kill himself if he chooses. But since most men dont, they wont be the majority, either. Nevertheless,

14、 forbidding people things they like or think they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more. This psychological insight is, for some mysterious reason, denied by our governors. 21 The authors solution to the drug problem is _ .（A）to make all drugs extremely costly（B） to put honest w

15、arnings on all drug labels（C） to make the buying and selling of all drugs illegal（D）to tell people the dangerous effects of drugs on health 22 Many people believe that _ .（A）taking drugs once in a while will not be harmful（B） a single smoke of opium will make you an addict to it（C） the authorities a

17、overnors（D）in agreement with the basic rights of citizens 24 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? _（A）Few people will take drugs if they are allowed.（B） The United States will be easily defeated if its citizens are allowed to take drugs.（C） It is a general practice to forbid drug

18、s in different countries.（D）A majority of people will become addict to drugs if they are allowed to take them. 24 Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives a credit which may matter toward a degree. In many American univer

19、sities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expe

20、ct to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For e

21、very course followed a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective word of maintaining di

22、scipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of acti

23、vity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to a later career.25 Normally a student would at least attend _ classes each week.（A）36（B） 20（C） 12（D）15 26 According to the first paragraph, an American student is allowed _ .（A）to live in a

24、 different university（B） to take a particular course in a different university（C） to live at home and drive to classes（D）to get two degrees from two different universities 27 Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _ .（A）they hate the constant pressure

25、and strain of their study（B） they will then be able to stay longer in the university（C） such positions help them get better jobs（D）such positions are usually well-paid 28 The student organizations seem to be effective in _ .（A）dealing with the academic affairs of the university（B） ensuring that the

26、students observe university regulations（C） evaluating students performance by bringing them before a court（D）keeping up the students enthusiasm for social activities 28 The English, as a race, have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities, including their close neighbors,

27、the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguished him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking,

28、 the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows very well. When he meets with strangers of foreigners, he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this, serious-looking

29、businesses and women sit reading their newspaper or dozing in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most usual. An English wit, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “on entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers.“ Needless to Sa

30、y, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given haft a chance, they will talk about it in le

31、ngth. Some people argue that it is because English weather forecast is undependable, as a result, English weather is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological expertsthe weathermenwho, after promising glorious, sunny weather f

32、or the following day, are often proved wrong when an anti-cyclone or as inaccurate as the weatherman in his prediction. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishman leaving home on a bright, sunny summer morning with a raincoat slung over an arm and an umbrella in his hand. So vari

33、able is the weather that by lunch time there could be thundering.The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conventional greetings are replaced by comments on the weath

34、er. “Nice day, isnt?“ “Beautiful!“ may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?“ Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is

35、at a loss to know where to begin, he would do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject, which will encourage even the most reserved Englishmen to enter into a conversation. 29 What does “meteorological experts “mean in paragraph three? _（A）predictors（B） witch（C） weathermen（D）a

36、kind of Englishman 30 Why does the common man in England seem to be as accurateor as inaccurateas the weatherman in his prediction? _（A）Because the weather in England is so variable.（B） Because the common man in England has as much knowledge about weather as the weathermen.（C） Because by lunchtime t

37、here could be thunder and lightening in England.（D）Because English weather always defies forecast. 31 In England, which of the following greetings are more likely to be heard ? _（A）What a beautiful day!（B） Good morning, how are you?（C） How do you do?（D）Nice to meet you! 32 In the following, which su

38、bject is the safest one to start a conversation? _（A）Salary.（B） Privacy.（C） Politics.（D）Weather. 32 Of all the problems facing modern astronomers, perhaps the most fascinating one is “can intelligent life exist elsewhere?“ Since the earth is a unimportant planet moving round an unimportant star, it

39、would be a pride on our part to suppose that we are the only intelligent beings in the universe. But to obtain proof is difficult.The main trouble is that our neighbor worlds, the bodies in the Solar System appear to be unsuitable for advanced life forms. The Moon may be ruled out at once; it has ha

40、rdly any atmosphere. Venus is little better; the surface temperature is extremely high and the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. Mars with a very thin atmosphere and a severe shortage of water, may well support simple that life seems no hope of finding animals, while the alternative Martians of t

41、he story-tellers have since been given up.Of course this has not stopped the flow of bright ideas of communicating with the supposed people on Mars. In the early nineteenth century the great mathematician Gauss suggested planting tree-patterns in patterns, so that the Martians would see them and rep

42、lay suitably. Following up this idea, the Austrian scientist Karl Littrow proposed, digging very wide ditches in the Sahara, triangular in patterns, and then filling them with petrol or some substance so that, when lit, the ditches would present Martian observers with a “flaming triangular“ which wo

43、uld show the existence of intelligent minds. Even better were the plans of Charles Cross, a French writer of the 1870s ,who wanted to build a large mirror to reflect the suns rays and concentrate, them on the surface of Mars, thereby making a vast burning-glass. By swinging the mirror round, Cross e

44、xplained it would be practicable to write words in the Martion deserts simply by burning the sand. For many years, he bombarded the French government with literature about his plan and was very disappointed when no official interest was shown.33 The opinion of the writer is that _ .（A）there may be o

45、ther intelligent beings in the universe（B） there are other intelligent beings in the universe（C） people living on the earth are almost certainly the only intelligent beings in the universe（D）people living on the earth are definitely the only intelligent beings in the universe 34 There is unlikely an

46、y life on Venus because _ .（A）the surface temperature is too hot（B） it is too cold there（C） it is severely short of water（D）it has a very thin atmosphere 35 It seems that Mars _ .（A）may be inhabited by attractive Martians（B） may have some vegetable life（C） can have no life at all（D）may have both veg

47、etable and animal life 36 Charles Cross felt _ .（A）angry when the government paid little attention to his ideas（B） pleased when the government did take notice of his plan（C） surprised that the official were interested in his suggestion（D）disappointed at the lack of interest shown in his plan 36 Ther

48、e was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decad

49、e, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the
