Each passageis followed by some questi ons or unfini shed stateme nts. For each of them there are four choi

23、ces marked by A, B, C and D, you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp onding letter on your Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questio ns 41 to 45 are based on the follow ing passage:Population tends to grow at an exponential （指数的）rate. This means that they progressi

24、vely double. As an example of this type of growth rate, take one penny and double it every day for one mon th. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a milli on dollars.This helps expla in why the populati on has come on "all of a sudde

25、n". It took from the beg inning of huma n life to the year 1830 for the populati on of the earth to reach one billion. That repents （缓慢进行）a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billio n. The next billi on was added by 1960, only

26、 thirty years, and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion, which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000 per hour, 220,000 per day, and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The

27、nu mber of births has not decli ned at the same rate as the nu mber of deaths.Some coun tries, such as Columbia, Thaila nd, Morocco, Costa Rica, and the Philipp in es, are doubli ng their populati ons about every twen ty-one year, with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States i

28、s doubling its population about every eighty-seve n years, with a rate of 0.8 perce nt per year. （81） Every time a population doubles, the country invoIved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that th

29、is is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly grow ing coun tries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world populati on.B. one type of the exp onen tial rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of deali ng with the rapid populati on

30、growth.42. According to the passage, whathelps to explain why the population problemhas come on"all of a sudde n”？A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one mon th.B. The time span of at least two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponential growth rate given by

31、the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It tookfor the world to in creases its populatio n from 1 billio n to 4 billio n.A. 100 yearsB. 145 yearsC.1975 yearsD. over two millio n years44. Which of the followi ng stateme nts is NOT true?A. World populat

The United States is usually doubling its population about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, t

33、he country invoIved needs twice as much ofeveryth ing, in clud ing.A. hospitals and medic inesB. schools and stude ntsC. food and man power resources D. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Wome n are, on the whole, more verbal tha n men. They are good at Ian guage a

34、nd verbal reas oning, while men tend to be skilled at tasks dema nding visual-spatial 空 的）abilities. In fact, along with aggression,these are the most commonly accepted differe nee betwee n the sexes.Words are tools for com muni cati ng with other people, especially in formatio n about people. They

35、are mai nly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagi ning and mani pulat ing objects and for com muni cat ing in formati on about them. Are these tale nts programmed in to the brain? In some of the n ewest and most con troversial research in n europhysiology （神经生理学）,it has bee n

36、 suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists. But one knows that, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both visual and spatial, and it's true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women be

37、come just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, tasks that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves, We all know men for w

42、ly use mach ines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questio ns 51 to 55 are based on the follow ing passage:The U. S. gover nment has rece ntly helped people learn more about the dan gers of earthquakes by publishi ng a map. This map shows the cha nces of an earthquake in each part of the coun try

43、. (83) The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake "belt". The gover nment is spe nding a great deal of money and is work ing hard to help discover the an swer to these two questi ons: 1. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we con trol earthquakes?To

44、 answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层)systems in the coun try, such as the San An dreas fault in Califor nia. A fault is break betwee n two sect ions of the earth's surface. These breaks betwee n sect ions are the place when earthquake occur

45、s. Scientists look at the faults for changesthat might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the con trol of earthquakes is eve n farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the

46、 field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arse nal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injectio n of water, there was a small nu mber of earthquakes. Scie ntists ha

47、ve decided that the water which was injected into rocks work like oil on each other. When the water "oiled" the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experime nting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there

48、 is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes,that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a

49、 number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are.A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks betwee n two secti ons of the earth's surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San An dreas fault is.A. an

50、 active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have bee n predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquakes have bee n con trolledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scie ntists lear n about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arse nal?A. They occur at about 4000 meters below ground lev

51、el.B. The injectio n of water into earthquake faults preve nts earthquakes from occurri ng.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakescan be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experime nts at Rocky Mountain Arse nal?A

52、. They have no practical value in earthquake preve ntio n.B. They my have practical value in earthquake preve nti on.C. They are certa in to have practical value in earthquake preve nti on.D. The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake preve nti on.55. What is the mos

Earthquake Engineering in California.Questio ns 56 to 60 are based on the follow ing passage:Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavi

54、or. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killi ng weap on has tur ned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goat, he enjoys the hunter's triumph of killing his prey.To understand how thi

55、s transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evoIving （进化）as cooperative hun ters. Their very survival depe nded on success in the hun ti ng field. （84） Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly ch

56、anged. They became chasers, r unn ers, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.The n about ten thousa nd years ago, after this imme nsely long period of hunting their food, they became farmers. Their improved in tellige nee, so vital（极其重要的） to their

57、old hun ti ng life, was put to a new use-that of con troll ing and domesticat ing（驯养）their prey. The hunt became sudde nly out of date. The food was there on the farms, await ing their n eeds. The risks and un certa in ties of the hunt were no Ion ger esse ntial for survival.（85） The skills and thir

58、st for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity invoIved all the orig inal hun ti ng seque nce（后果），but the aim of the operation was no Ion ger to avoid starvati on. In stead the sportsme n set off to test their skill aga inst prey that
