The economy of the United States after 1952 was the economy of a well-fed, almost fully employed people. Despite occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a state of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of 1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the years immediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spending was almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid 1920’s. As farmer’s share of their products declined, marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the opposite-depression. 72. What is the best title of the passage? A) The Agricultural Trends of 1950’s B) The Unemployment Rate of 1950’s C) U.S. Economy in the 50’s D) The Federal Budget of 1952 73. In Line 4, the word “boom” could best be replaced by______. A) nearby explosion B) thunderous noise C) general public support D) rapid economic growth 74. Which of the following were LEAST satisfied with the national economy in the 1950’s? A) Economists B) Framers C) Politicians D) Steelworkers 75. The passage states that income available for spending in the U.S. was greater in 1955 than in 1950. How much was it? A) 60％ B) 50％ C) 33％ D) 90％
Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines. In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates. When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away. The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人). The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.” Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly state that sleep was an escape from their daily problems. 64. According to the report,______. A) many short sleepers need less sleep by nature B) many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work C) long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day D) many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood 65. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that _____. A) sleep is a withdrawal from the reality B) sleep interferes with their sound judgement C) sleep is the least expensive item on their routine program D) sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles 66. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might ____. A) appear disturbed B) become energetic C) feel dissatisfied D) be extremely depressed 67. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? A) If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakened B) The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown by many mental patients C) Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep D) Short sleepers would be better off with more rest
Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened urban school administrators and teachers. Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly. One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets. Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education. 60. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____. A) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties B) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities C) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities D) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education 61. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____. A) 350,000 B) 1,500,000 C) 440,000 D) 110,000 62. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____. A) the homeless children are too young to be counted as children B) the homeless population is growing rapidly C) the homeless children usually stay outside school D) some homeless children are deserted by their families 63. The passage mainly deals with ____. A) the legal problems of the homeless children B) the educational problems of homeless children C) the social status of older males D) estimates on the homeless population
第四部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分） There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals are built on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 56. Our long-term goals mean a lot__. A) if we complete our short-range goals B) if we cannot reach solid short-term goals C) if we write down the dates D) if we put forward some plans 57. New short-term goals are bulid upon__. A) two years B) long-term goals C) current activities D) the goals that have been completed 58. Once our goals are drawn up,__. A) we should stick to them until we complete them B) we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities C) we had better wait for the exciting news of success D) we have made great decision 59. It is implied but not stated in the passage that ___. A) those who have long-term goals will succeed B) writing down the dates may discourage you C) the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destination D) every should have a goal

There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well. Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car. Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 . 21．A．Pollution B．Damage C．Fossil D．Transportation 22．A．goes B．comes C．takes D．moves 23．A．give off B．look out C．burn away D．take in 24．A．originally B．mostly C．naturally D．usually 25．A．Because B．When C．While D．But 26．A．reason B．excuse C．cause D．problem 27．A．eats B．takes C．produces D．means 28．A．it B．there C．that D．they 29．A．and B．or C．though D．but 30．A．then B．there C．before D．now 31．A．ever B．yet C．still D．even 32．A．Pleasant B．terrible C．sweet D．nice 33．A．feeling B．using C．looking D．smelling 34．A．of B．as C．with D．for 35．A．pollution B．population C．warming D．transportation 36．A．Also B．However C．Therefore D．Thus 37．A．as B．for C．like D．to 38．A．quickly B．constantly C．surely D．usually 39．A．use B．part C．hold D．advantage 40．A．return B．turn C．general D．total

Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world. There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature. But new techniques are helping scientists to predict how, when, and where big storms will happen. The more exact scientists’ warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms. Predictions are improving. “We’re gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,” says Phil Klotzbach, a scientist at an American university. How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction. “For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right, ” Klotzbach says. First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air. As it rises, the vapor（水蒸气）cools and turns back into liquid. This process gives off heat. This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase. It drives the formation of a hurricane. If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a “tropical storm”, and it gets a name. At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane. Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa. Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world. On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year. About 10 of them get names. There are usually about six hurricanes. Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher. The hurricane season lasts from June to November. Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October. 1. According to the passage, hurricanes usually ________. A. form off the coast of Africa and America B. travel at 40 miles per hour and get its name C. cause sea winds to rise and blow over the sea D. hit parts of the world in summer and autumn 2. The underlined word “evaporates” (in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”. A. begins to move B. gets lost C. becomes hot D. changes into gas 3. Which of the following about the information of a hurricane is the correct order? a. The ocean water evaporates and goes into the air. b. Heat creates energy and causes winds to increase. c. The vapor cools. d. The ocean water is warm enough. e. The vapor changes back into liquid. f. This course gives out heat. A. a, d, e, b, c, f B. a, b, c, f, d, e C. d, a, c, e, f, b D. d, a, b, c, e, f 4. According to the passage, the speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches ______. A.115 miles per hour B.110 miles per hour C.75 miles per hour D.95 miles per hour
We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories. A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises. 1. Some people can easily learn many things by heart because ________. A．they always sleep very well B．they often eat good food C．they read a lot of books D．they have very good memories 2. Before a child can speak, he must ________. A．read and write B．make sentences C．hear and remember the sounds D．think hard 3. In school the pupils can’t learn a foreign language well because________ . A．they have no good memories B．they have no recorders C．they have too much time for it D．they are busy with other subjects 4. Your memory will become better and better ________. A．if you have plenty of good food B．if you do more and more exercises C．if you do morning exercises every day D．if you get up early
Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example. Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money. Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere. All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries. 1. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage us to travel across Europe. B. To suggest that the whole world is melting into one like the EU. C. To praise the tourism policy of the EU. D. To introduce tourism conditions in the EU. 2. By saying the underlined sentence “Now many European countries are expected to follow this example”, the writer means that ________. A. more signs will be set up in Chinese in European countries B. more and more Europeans have a desire to know more about China C. more and more Chinese people will go to travel across Europe D. Chinese is now an important language in Europe 3. Compared to five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ______. A. you needn’t drive a car B. you can use a calculator to exchange money C. applying for different visas is much simpler D. one visa is good enough for traveling in a number of countries 4. It can be inferred from the passage that _________ A. an increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe B. Chinese has become an important language in Europe C. the Euro is the only money used in the EU now D. it is always necessary to unite many countries into one
Many of us like cooking but never have much time for it. Helen Fry’s new book Quick Cooking has been specially written for busy people. It has over 1,000 recipes, from the famous Spanish gazpacho to Swedish smorgasbord. The book is well written and the photographs and drawings are clear. (They are like those in the excellent little Quick Dressmaking and Quick Gardening.) The book has a strong plastic cover. It is easy to find your way around it too. And busy people, notice this! Mrs. Fry tells you how much time you need in order to get each dish ready. Quick Cooking has 4 parts, one for each season. This helps you to use fresh fruit and vegetables when they are cheaper—and, of course, better. There are a lot of exciting ideas from foreign countries, and most of the recipes are easy to follow. You take something simple like a chicken or some cheese, and make and unusual dish out of it. For example, there are no fewer than 40 recipes for eggs! Mrs. Fry does not plan complete meals for the “quick book”. The beginners will have to find out a lot of things for himself—or herself. But this ought not to be difficult with such a good book. I wanted to try many of the recipes as soon as I read them. For people with little spare time Helen Fry’s Quick Cooking is excellent value. 1. Helen Fry’s book is called Quick Cooking because ___. A. you can cook all the dishes in it quickly B. there is over 1,000 recipes in it C. it is written for people who don’t have much time D. it tells you how to cook all kinds of food quickly 2. Busy people should notice that _____. A. all the recipes in the book are easy to follow B. there are clear photographs and drawings in the book C. the book has a strong cover D. they are told how long each dish takes to cook 3. This passage is most probably ____. A. a book review B. a notice C. a letter to an editor D. an introduction on cooking 4. We can infer from the passage that _____. A. Helen Fry is good at writing books quickly B. complete meals are planned only for beginners C. there are quite a few “quick books” for busy people D. beginners are advised to start making meals out of the cheapest materials
