Each passage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. For e

26、ach 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 centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度)is for the good of society as a

27、whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art.Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great fil

28、m? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views-oftenfar moreliberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recogni

29、ze. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numb

30、ers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分)of the entertainment industry. Whencensorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "porno

31、graphic"(色情的).So one of the greatthings that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51. A censor's

32、duty is.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films B) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52. Some people are against censorship for the reason that.A) censorship is not consistent with the

33、 ideals of democracy B) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit D) censorship limits the way people feel and think53. When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means.A) there is no clear

34、 distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54. According to the writer, a society free from censorsh

35、ip. A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits 55. All the following are the writer's views except that. A) censors are fully qualified for their j

36、obB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces C) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of art Passage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fa

37、shionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main

38、problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school maybe excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers maybe incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you&

39、#39;re a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers. The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks,

40、thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为)，drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their schoo

41、l lives the prevalence ( 流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and

42、competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56. The French school inspector has long been a supporter of. A) compulsory education B) free private education C) private schools D) the state school system57. The French state education system.A) does not guarantee the competence of t

43、eachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards 58. Private schools in France today. A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse B) enjoy the prestige( 声望)of becoming the place to send one's children to C) have become victims of

44、vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59. Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools. A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas8) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities C) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham6

45、0. France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart m Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

46、 blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the Onethat the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within th

47、ree generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in

48、the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and wasteportions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a s

49、hort timeto remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization(free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fishand meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cansare sealed, the pressure

50、 inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air. The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat an

51、d fish are cooked at higher temperaturesfor 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printe
