18、ay. In the 1970s the international focus was on heroin. In the 1980s and the 1990s the focus was on cocaine. Now in the 21st century we are becoming frightened by the rapid increase in amphetamine-type stimulants, not only in the rich countries of the world but the whole world,” said the official of

19、 the WHO. Amphetamines are often used by the workers, such as long-distance truck drivers, to increase endurance(耐久力) or delay sleep, the official said. About 3 percent of the population of the world use amphetamine, experts said. In Britain, among young people between the ages of 16 and 19, fourtee

20、n percent of them have used amphetamine. In Korea, Japan, Denmark, the Philippines and Australia , amphetamine are more widely used than heroin or cocaine, a reporter said. The problem is also widespread in the United States, Western and Eastern Europe.51. Why does the use of amphetamine- type stimu

21、lants frighten us? A. Because the use of it is rapidly increased in the whole world.m B. Because many teenagers in Britain have used it.C. Because it is dangerous if drivers use it. D. Because people nowadays dont use heroin or cocaine but amphetamines.52. What is the purpose of writing this article

22、?A. To introduce the problem of using amphetamine in America and Europe.B. To explain why there are so many people in the world using amphetamine.C. To tell the history of the use of amphetamine. D. To pay much attention to the increasing problem of using drugs.BThis is a tense time for students in

23、America，with the exam season in full swing and the stress and anxiety being felt across the countryAt some universities，students are reviewing their lessons，knowing that in a few weeks the stress will be over once they put pen to paper in that exam hallFor others，however，that stress and anxiety may

24、well last a while longer as lecturers continue to refuse to set examsNo one knows when things will get back to normalThe reason behind this trouble is the ongoing argument in higher education between lecturers and employers over payThe Association of University Teachers(AUT)are currently taking indu

25、strial action because of the fact that lecturers have been underpaid for yearsVice-presidents of the universities，who enjoy six-figure salaries，are not making any noises to suggest that this will change in the near futureThe National Union of Students(NUS)absolutely believes that our lecturers shoul

26、d be better paid，and that the promises made to them during the top-up fees debate about extra income must be keptIts shameful that 1ecturers have had to take industrial action to achieve better pay and conditions while vice-presidents own salaries have risen 25%over the past three yearsBut the stude

31、as become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one of every five Americans at word was employed, i.e. ,worded for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmh

32、and. The employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual(智力的)and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class emplo

33、yees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population-growing so fast that the industrial worker, the oldest child of the industrial revolution has been losing in numerical importance in spite of the expansion of industrial production. Yet you will find little if there is anything writ

34、ten on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a rise. At least you can find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it is the mechanic's trade or bookkeeping. Every one of these trades requires different skills, set

35、s different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employee-ship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employee-ship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because

36、 they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not gain the skills of their trade. The higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into the management, and the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical ability or professi

37、onal knowledge.56. It is implied that fifty years ago _.A. eighty percent of American working people were employed in factoriesB. twenty percent of American intellectuals were employeesC. the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was about the same as that of industrial workersD. the p

38、ercentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that of industrial workers57. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, _. A. factory laborers will overtake intellectual employees in number B. there are as many middle-class employees as factory laborers C

39、. employers have connected great importance to factory laborers D. the rate of factory laborers in the total employee population has decreased58. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is _. A. less important than sense of being a good employee B. as important as the ability to dea

40、l with public relations C. more important than employer-employee relations D. as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organizationDLack of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or overeating. Research suggests that having overweight paren

41、ts is a big influence upon a childs weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times likely to be overweight themselves.The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate(争论 ) over children obesity. The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that

42、$ 116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements.Clare Collin, a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitel

43、y fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families. “ If we cant get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we cant expect to influence their kids.” she said.However, Professor Louise Baur from the Childrens Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether adult education pro

44、grams offer any solution to weigh problems. “Many parents know they need to lose weight and they know it influence their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it.”The 10-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only

45、one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight.The president of the Australian Society for the Study of Obesity Associate Professor Gary Witttert, said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Partys policy might be on the right track.“We know that drivin

46、g without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it.” he said. “Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldnt we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads?”59. What does the underlines phrase “juvenile obesity” mean? A. Adult education B. Childhood overweight C. Parents influenc

47、e D. Growing pains60.What is TRUE about the program supported by the Prime Minister? A. Debates on them will become less fierce. B. They will be effective in dealing with obesity C. A large sum of money will be spent on them D. They will influence peoples way of life61. Both Collins and Baur believe

48、 that overweight parents _. A. will come up with better solutions B. will help with their childrens education C. should be more active in reducing weight D. should carry out at least 10 years studyEReal policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.The first

49、difference is that a policemans real life revolved round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and ra

50、in, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.Most television crime drama is about fi

51、nding the criminal: as soon as hes arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove h

52、is case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expe

53、nsive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective fe

54、els between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedas he see itof citizens, social workers, doctors, lawmakers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that ninetenths of their work is recatching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.62A policeman has to be trained in criminal law because .Ahe must work hard to help reform criminalsBhe must behave as professional lawyers
