Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension quest

18、ions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.40 Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for

19、bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we dont like crowds and in any case we are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes a

20、nd were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so they were not suita

21、ble for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very hap

22、py. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!“ I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.41 In January（A）lots of people go shopping for discount（B） people have a lot of money to spend after Christmas（C） all the sh

23、ops close for a two-week Christmas holiday（D）people dont have enough money to go looking for bargains42 In this passage, the word “bargain“ could best be replaced by “something _“.（A）given to people（B） offered at a reduced price（C） offered, sold or bought which is expensive（D）sold for the purpose of

24、 reaching an agreement43 The husband and wife in the story（A）wished to buy a TV（B） went to the sales the year before（C） often went to the sales to buy clothes（D）were usually not short of money after Christmas44 The phrase “split up“ in the second paragraph means “ _“.（A）break apart（B） cause to break

25、（C） become pieces（D）go in different directions45 After their day s shopping, they _.（A）were happy with their bargains（B） had got everything they wanted（C） got more than they had hoped for（D）had to go back to the sales the next day45 Although the United States cherishes the tradition that it is a nat

26、ion of small towns and wide open spaces, only one in every eight Americans now lives on a farm. The recent population trend has been a double one, towards both urbanization and suburbanization. Metropolitan areas have grown explosively in the past decade, and nearly half this increase has been in th

27、e suburbs. With the rapid growth of cities has come equally rapid decentralization. The flight of Americans from the central city to the suburbs constitutes one of the greatest migrations of modern times; quiet residential sections outside cities have become conglomerations (密集) of streets, split-le

28、vel houses, and shopping centers.This spurt of suburban expansion, however, does not alter the basic fact that the United States has become one of the most urban nations on the face of the earth. Census (人口调查) Bureau figures show that the rural population has been shrinking steadily since 1830. When

29、 the United States became a nation it had no large cities at all; today some fifty cities have populations of more than 258 ,000. Mammoth complexes of cities are developing in the area of the East Coast and the east north-central states, on the Pacific and Gulf coasts, and near the shores of the Gre

30、at Lakes. Some sociologists now regard the entire 600-mile stretch between Boston and Washington, D. C.an area holding a fifth of the country s populationas one vast city or, as they call it, megalopolis.46 A traditional American belief is that _.（A）few people live on farms（B） the nation consists ma

31、inly of small towns and wide open spaces（C） the population is the greatest in the world（D）the United States is a nation of big cities47 The selection says that trends are towards the（A）growth of cities and shrinking of suburban areas（B） growth of both rural and suburban areas（C） shrinking of urban a

32、nd suburban areas（D）growth of urban and suburban areas48 Nearly half the increase in metropolitan population is accounted for by the（A）growth of small towns（B） migration to farm areas（C） growth of the suburbs（D）expansion of existing urban areas49 The author implies that the modern suburb is（A）quiet

33、and residential（B） very rural in character（C） confused and overgrown（D）much like a small town50 Megalopolis is the sociologist s name for a .（A）suburban area around a city（B） large city and its suburbs（C） group of towns organized as a city（D）group of cities blending to form one huge city50 Economica

34、lly, the world can be divided into two parts. The difference between them is that one part is poor and the other is wealthy. In the poor countries of the world, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the wealthy countries, a lot of people eat too much. The tragedy is that there are more people

35、in the poor countries than there are in the wealthy countries. It is estimated that about 80% of the world s population cannot afford to have proper food, housing or medical care. The poor countries are often referred to as the Third World. They have special problems. Often their land is too poor to

36、 grow anything on. The land can be improved. But a lot of things have to be done first; new farming methods have to be introduced, people have to be educated, and reliable sources of water and energy have to be found.Many of these problems are too complex for one country to solve alone. Outside help

37、 is needed, but it has to be the right kind of help. Money is not enough. Newly developed countries need to be helped to be able to help themselves.51 According to the article, what is the tragedy?（A）There are more wealthy countries in the world.（B） There are more poor countries in the world.（C） The

38、re are more wealthy people in the wealthy countries.（D）There are more poor people in the poor countries.52 What is estimated in the poor countries?（A）Many people have not enough money.（B） Many people have no place to live in.（C） Many people have not enough money to see doctors.（D）All of the above.53

39、 All of the following suggestions are made in the first paragraph for the improvement of the land conditions in the poor countries except_.（A）new farming methods to be introduced（B） people to be educated（C） reliable sources of water and energy to be supplied（D）better living conditions to be provided

40、54 What would be the right kind of help in the author s opinion?（A）The wealthy people should give them money.（B） The developed countries should teach them ability needed for self-help.（C） The wealthy people should send over technicians to help install sophisticated machines.（D）The wealthy people sho

41、uld establish some shops over there.55 The last word of this passage “themselves“ means_.（A）newly developed countries（B） rich countries（C） developing countries（D）developed countries55 The U. S. Department of Labor Statistics indicate that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that th

42、is oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the profess

43、ions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. These “temporary“ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts; carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These

44、people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college

45、degree is a passport to a prosperous future. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college

46、 education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.56 What does the

47、 U. S. Department of Labor Statistics show?（A）There is an oversupply of labor force and this oversupply is increasing.（B） Many college graduates find it difficult to get jobs for which they were trained.（C） There is a short supply of teachers, engineers and other professionals.（D）There are more temp

48、orary jobs than permanent ones in U. S. companies.57 What does the author mean by saying “ these temporary jobs have a habit of becoming permanent“ ?（A）Once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon become used to it.（B） College graduates have developed the habit of taking temporary jobs.（C）

49、 Many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trained.（D）More and more college graduates are unwilling to change their jobs.58 What is implied but not stated in the passage is that in the past（A）blue-collar workers made a better living than white-collar workers（B） college and graduate schools trained more sk
