For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Many ecologists and demographers predict that an ecological disaster is on the way, most likely in the form of a devastating famine in the More and more people are coming to realize that the magnificent technological advances that have made life so much more comfortable have a dark side as well. As we have seen, agricultural technology has brought havoc to the biosphere; industrial technology is polluting the environment; and military technology has for the first time in history given humanity the means to destroy itself. And even if we do not destroy ourselves directly with nuclear bombs, we may do it indirectly by disrupting ecosystems, food chains, and the whole life-supporting system. Condemning technology as though it were separated from the humans who use it is both pointless and misleading. Every group of humans, from prehistoric times to the present, has used some form of technology to meet its needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Only a few of those technologies, however, have caused serious damage to the environment. The real culprit is exploitative technology, designed to produce the GREatest immediate rewards without regard to the long-term consequences to the environment or the quality of human life. This problem is nothing new. Although the earliest hunting and gathering did little damage to the environment, the human race has been using exploitative technologies for thousands of years. Historians now believe that an environmental crisis caused by unsound farming techniques contributed to the collapse of many of the agricultural societies of the past; but the overall environmental damage done by industrial societies is far worse. For one thing, their technology is much more powerful and sophisticated, and for another, they support many more people. Industrialization also brings about a qualitative change in the kind of technology we use. From nuclear radiation to the destruction of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, the cornucopia (象征丰饶的羊角,丰饶) of modern science has produced problems undreamed of by our ancestors. 21. Many ecologists predict, . A) ecological disasters will not happen soon B) ecological disasters will never happen in the industrial countries C) disastrous famines are likely to happen in the underdeveloped countries D) disastrous floods are likely to happen in the 22. Exploitative technology . A) is the modern product of industrialization B) is the main cause for the environmental crisis C) is designed to make full of our resources D) is designed to improve the quality of human life 23. It can be inferred from the passage that . A) unsound farming techniques are more destructive than industrial technology B) modern science has GREatly improved human life C) the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere was formerly well preserved D) it is the technology we use that is responsible for the environmental crisis 24. What is the passage mainly about? A) The coming of environmental disaster. B) The ill effects of industrialization. C) The development of modern technology. D) The origin of environmental crisis. 25. The tone of the passage can be described as . A) pessimistic B) optimistic C) concerned D) indifferent Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. The islands were annexed by the But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want GREater autonomy within the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the But if Hawaiian natives are given GREater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood. Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US$136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this. 26. Hawaii’s native minority refers to . A) B) people of Filipino origin C) the Ka Lahui group D) people with 50% Hawaiian blood 27. Which of the following statements is true of the Hawaiian natives? A) Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed. B) Their life span is 5 years shorter than average Americans.

D) The Hawaiian natives. 30. Various native Hawaiians demand all the following EXCEPT_______. A) a GREater autonomy within the state B) more back rent on the crown land C) a claim on the Hawaiian crown land D) full independence from the Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Today’s cops are under far more inspection than their predecessors were, thanks in part to governmental soul-searching suggesting that police behavior had much to do with touching off the race riots of the late 1960s. Today, more than 75 percent of the major metropolitan police departments have some sort of civilian review agency. And top cops are watching more closely, too. “It’s unbelievable how they Monday-morning quarterback (事后指责) you,” says Dallas officer James, who underwent a vigorous internal investigation last spring after he fired at, but missed, a man who pointed a gun at him. “I’m out there sweating bullets, my heart’s going 95 miles per hour and some guy is sitting in an air-conditioned office telling me what I should have done.” Part of that inspection is rooted in departmental efforts to head off lawsuits. Cops have become an increasingly inviting target for litigation. For example, in 1972, the City of The fear of being sued is never far from officer’s minds. It certainly wasn’t for FBI agent Ed Mireles, the hero of the bureau’s bloody 1986 An even bigger problem is that the criminal-justice system itself is now designed to break cops’ hearts. For every 100 felony arrests, 43 are typically dismissed or not prosecuted. Of the remaining 57, 54 are disposed of by guilty plea. Only 3 go to trial. And of those, 1 is acquitted(宣判无罪) and 2 are found guilty. Moreover, of the 56 convicted, 22 typically get probation(缓刑), 21 are sentenced to a year or less of prison and only 13 are sentenced to prison for more than a year. “We’re not making proGREss,” concludes Dallas officer Nabors. The greatest gift the nation could give its police is the promise that when they do their jobs well, it will amount to something. This is a war the nation can’t walk away from. 31. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A) Most major metropolitan police departments have some sort of civilian review agency. B) Police behavior had actually little to do with touching off the race riots of the late 1960s. C) Top cops are inspected more closely. D) Cops were not so seriously inspected before. 32. Dallas officer James was under a vigorous internal investigation because . A) he killed a man who pointed a gun at him B) he was out there sweating bullets C) he was involved in the race riots of the late 1960s D) he fired at a man who nevertheless escaped 33. Police authorities make the inspections . A) out of a fear of lawsuits B) to reduce the victims C) under the pressure from the cops D) in order to punish criminals heavily 34.

A) he was very proud of what he had done in that action B) he felt guilty for not having killed the criminals before they killed his colleagues C) he was angry that his fear of being sued had prevented him from doing better D) he would have been punished if he had not been wounded 35.

B) Because this system is designed to help criminals. C) Because this system punishes policemen rather than criminals. D) Because this system is closely inspected by the police. Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. “Money talks” is a familiar observation. Long ago, William Shakespeare expressed the same thought poetically: “If money goes before, all ways do lie open.” Cynically, and a bit superficially, these aphorisms (格言) convey the idea that the possession of money means power and influence. More fundamentally, money and its ownership represent command over economic resources: goods and services. Potting it this way removes some of the aura (气氛) of mystique that surrounds the subject of money, but it is nonetheless true—and familiar. Everyone knows that we need money to buy the goods and services we desire. What and how much we buy is intimately related to how much money we possess. By itself, money may not be the source of happiness and health, but if one is unhappy or ill, it helps to be so in comfort. As a wiseacre once said, “If man does not live by bread alone, at least it can be used to buy the missing items.” “Money matters” is another popular saying. But here the reference is not to the welfare of individuals and households but rather to the health and wealth of the economy as a whole. For it turns out that money plays a basic role in determining such things as the volume of employment and production, the level of prices and buying power of money, and the rate of economic growth—and thus the level and rate of increase of our living standards. At times, we have witnessed too much money in circulation and with it excessive rates of inflation. At other times, we have witnessed too little money in circulation and with it depressed levels of employment and output. Thus it is evident that money affects not only the welfare of individuals but also that of the whole economy. And these interests may not always coincide. An individual usually feels better off the more money he or she has, but the improvement may occur at the expense of the well-being of the economy as a whole and hence to the detriment of the welfare of other individuals. Money growth is indispen- sable to a growing economy but is no panacea, else the less-developed economies of the world could solve their poverty problems by the simple expedient of printing more money. 36. The aphorism “Money talks” indicates that . A) money is the source of health B) money is the source of happiness C) the ownership of money means power and influence D) nothing can be done without money 37. The word “bread” in the last sentence of the first paragraph most probably means . A) any food a person eats B) a man’s health C) money D) comfort 38. According to the passage, the popular saying “Money matters” chiefly means that money is important . A) for us to live a decent life B) to everyone of us C) to every household D) for the benefit of the whole country 39. It is implied in this passage that . A) the more money we have, the higher the level of our living B) printing more money contributes nothing to solving poverty problems in poor countries C) too much money in circulation is better than too little money in circulation D) the amount of money in circulation determines the rate of economic growth 40. The word “detriment” in line 8 of the last paragraph most probably means . A) benefit B) harm C) prevention D) improvement Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Ecology is science of how living creatures and plants 71. exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. Where an environment is damaged, the 72. ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upset—by other words, the 73. balance of nature will be disturbed. Man is a part of the environment and has done less to 74. upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, GREed, and wasteful. 75. Man has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. It has squandered (浪费) the earth’s 76. natural resources with no thought for the future, and he has thought out the most destructible way of killing his 77. fellow men—and every other sort of life at the same time. Although man has done much damage, it is up to him 78. to try to put matters right. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young. One of the main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing by an ever-increasing rate. At 79. the same time we are using up our natural resources so rapidly that there will be hope of replacing them. 80.
