Passage 1
Amy Johnson was a pioneer airwoman in Britain. She was born on July 1, 1903, in Yorkshire and lived there until 1923 when she went to Sheffield University to study for a BA. After graduation she took a job as a secretary to a London lawyer. At the same time she became interested in aviation（飞行）, and to succeed in some project which would prove to the world that women could be as competent as men in a male-dominated field in those days.
Early in 1930, she chose her objective: to fly solo to Australia and to break the previous record of 16 days. Her parents and some of her friends lent her money to buy a used airplane.
Amy set off on May 5, 1930. Her route took her over Vienna and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make an emergency landing in the desert. Six days later she landed in India.

Passage 2
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re "hot". That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic (精力充沛) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar sayings as: “Get up, John! You’re late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening, Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
1. According to the new findings of Dr. Kleitman, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_______.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low
D. he is at his energy peak in the afternoon or evening
2. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. Unawareness of energy cycles.
B. Familiar saying.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should______.
A. change his energy cycle B. overcome his laziness
C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier
4. You are advised to act slow when you rise in the morning because it will______.
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your mood early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.
B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
C. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.
D. Children have energy cycles, too.
Passage 3
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences（后果）may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.
1. A small population may mean ___________ .
A. higher productivity, but a lower average income
B. lower productivity, but a higher average income
C. lower productivity, and a lower average income
D. higher productivity, and a higher average income
2. According the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing ___________ .
A. agriculture B. transport system
C. industry D. national economy
3. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birth rate ___________ .
A. goes up B. is decreasing
C. remains stable D. is out of control
4. According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for ___________.
A. a developed nation
B. a developing nation
C. every nation with a big population
D. every nation with a small population
5. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because ___________ .
A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world
B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development
C. different governments have different views of the question
D. even developed countries may have complex problems
Passage 4
Once a man was waiting for a taxi. A beggar came along and asked him for some money. The man ignored him. But being a professional, the beggar kept on pestering him. The man became angry when he realized that the beggar would not leave him alone unless he gives him some money.
Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He told the beggar, “I do not have money, but if you tell me what you want to do with the money, I will certainly help you.” “I would have bought a cup of tea”, replied the beggar. The man said, “Sorry man. I can offer you a cigarette instead of tea.” He then took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to the beggar. The beggar told, “I don’t smoke as it is harmful to health.”
The man smiled and took a bottle of whisky from his pocket and told the beggar, “Here, take this bottle and enjoy the stuff. It’s really good.” The beggar refused by saying, “Alcohol muddles the brain and damages the liver”. The man smiled again. He told the beggar, “I am going to the race course. Come with me and I will arrange for some tickets and we will place bets. If we win, you take the whole amount and leave me alone.” As before, the beggar politely refused the latest offer by saying, “Sorry sir, I can’t come with you as betting on horses is a bad habit.”
Suddenly the man felt relieved and asked the beggar to come to his home with him. Finally, the beggar’s face lit up in hope of receiving at least something from the man. But he still had his doubts and asked the man, “Why do you want me to go to your house with you?”
The man replied, “My wife always wanted to see how a man with no bad habits looks like.”

Passage 5
When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.
Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious about them.
1. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .
A. people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean
B. scientists can explain everything we want to know
C. scientists can explain many things but not everything
D. the salt in the ocean comes from rocks
2. You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because ______ .
A. the water is cold
B. the earth is hot
C. the water is colder than the earth
D. the cool air from the water moves towards the land
3. Now scientists know ______ .
A. what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer
B. everything about the ocean
C. why the ocean does not get more salty
D. what happens to the salt in the ocean
4. A rock cracks when ______ .
A. rain falls
B. it gets very hot
C. it gets very cold
D. either B or C
5. People are always curious because ______ .
A. they know nothing about the world
B. they know little about the world
C. there are answers they do not have
D. either A or B
Passage 6
The home computers industry has been growing rapidly in the United States for the last ten years. Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses. Computers have been designed to store information and compute complex problems. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories and to send bills to their customers. Officers use computers to type letters, record business and communicate with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of expenses and turn appliances on and off.
One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. They have been going to Arcades where the computer games can be played for a small cost. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games at home. They have become very popular indeed.
1. Computers in the United States ______ .

Passage 7
Look at your watch for just one minute. During that time, the population of the world increased by eighty-five people. Perhaps you think that isn’t much. In the next hour, more than 5 000 additional people will be living on this planet. So it goes, hour after hour. In one day, there are about 120 000 additional mouths to feed. Multiply this by 365. What will happen in 100 year?
If the present speed of population increase continues for the next 600 or 700 years, there will be standing room only. Each person will have between 3 to 10 square feet of space in which to live. This includes the mountain tops, deserts and the ice and snow fields of the polar regions.
Since 600 years is so far away, take a look at the years directly ahead. How can the hungry people be fed? About half the babies born this year will not have enough to eat. Is the world running out of water? Will there be enough fuel? What will supply the energy needed to run the machines of tomorrow’s world? Certainly, man must look to the future and find new ways of providing for his needs.
People around the world are becoming more and more concerned about the population explosion. Some are hoping that there can be some control of the number of people that are born, but population control is a subject which touches on the moral and religious beliefs of many people. Even many families have fewer children, the speed of the population explosion will only be reduced, not stopped. There will be problems of food supply, water, and power.
1. The writer thinks that in a hundred years’ time ______ .
A. there will be 120 000×365×100 more people on this planet
B. there will be standing room only
C. there will be terrible problems arising from the population explosion unless something is done about it
D. there will be between 3-10 square feet of space for each person to live in
2. The population of the world increased at a speed of eighty-five persons ______ .
A. an hour B. a minute
C. a day D. a week
3. In the years directly ahead the writer thinks that mankind can solve the problem of the population explosion by ______ .
A. controlling the number of babies born
B. developing new techniques to deal with problem of food, water and power supply
C. moving people from the over-populated areas of the world to those areas that are less crowded
D. touching on the moral and religious beliefs of many people
4. From the long-term point of view, the writer thinks that ______ .
A. people will live at the mountain tops, deserts and the ice and snow fields, even in the Antarctica
B. each person will have 10 square feet of space to live in
C. there will be standing room only

5. The writer thinks if families have fewer children, the speed of the population explosion ______ .
A. will only be reduced
B. will be stopped
C. won’t be stopped

Passage 8
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent — from 8.8 million to 11.7 million — according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E. Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”
1. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is ______ .
A. the year the author wrote the article
B. 1977
C. any year between 1977 and 1983
D. 1983
2. For those who do not take breakfast the good news is that ______ .
A. several studies have been done in the past few years
B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
C. adults have especially made studies in this field
D. eating little in the morning is good for health
3. “… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______ .
A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
B. not giving people breakfast improves performance
C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either
D. people having breakfast do improve their performances, too
4. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to ______ .
A. stories, poems, plays, etc.
B. written works on a particular subject
C. any printed material
D. the modern literature of America
5. What is implied but not stated by the author is that ______ .
A. breakfast does not affect performance
B. Dr Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
Passage 9
Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.
When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.
Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
1. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.
A. stop to talk to his friend B. just nod and say “hello”
C. shake hands with his friend D. just say goodbye
2. What will a person do when he attend a party run by older people?
A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.
B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.
C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.
D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.
3. On which occasion will the English toast?
A. A wedding reception. B. A dinner party.
C. A speech. D. A meeting.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.
B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.
C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.
D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.
5. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.
B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.
C. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.
D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.
Passage 10
As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capital income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 per cent in Western Europe and less than 4 per cent in the United States.
In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it function. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a conversation of its market structure.
1. This passage is most probably ________.
A. a news item
B. part of an introduction of a book
C. part of a lecture
D. an advertisement
2. What is most important to agriculture is ________.
A. the amount of food it produces
B. the per capital income of farmers
C. its industrial performance
D. the production of investment goods
3. The word “this” in Line 3 refers to ________.
A. the provision of food and raw materials
B. the productivity of farmers
C. the production of investment goods
D. the economy as a whole
4. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________.
A. the size of the working population
B. the organization of agriculture
C. the market structure
D. the general development of economy
5. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________.
A. the structure of American farming population
B. the market structure of American agriculture
C. the various functions of American agriculture
D. the organization of American agriculture
Passage 11
Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the internet. Now, I’ll bet you can’t find a single person in your school who hasn’t at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and even have access to it from our homes! The “net” in internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be shared, or sent from one computer to another. The internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project, downloading your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is accessed through web pages that companies, organizations and individuals create and post. It’s kind of like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the internet, you also have to be careful and use your best judgment and a little common sense.
Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board doesn’t mean it’s good information, or even correct, for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they’re talking about, especially if you’re doing research! But what if you’re just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you’ve never met the person that you’re communicating with online, you could be on dangerous ground! You should never give out any personal information to someone you don’t know, not even your name! And just like you can’t believe the information on every website out there, you can’t rely on what strangers you “meet” on the internet tell you either. Just as you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!
1. Several computers can be connected together by the Internet so that____________.
A. people can see each other
B. information can be shared and sent freely
C. you can read newspaper
D. you can create anything you like
2. You should be careful when you are surfing online because____________.
A. some of the information may not be true or right
B. some people may give you the wrong information
C. some information may do harm to you
D. all the above
3. When you are emailing people, you____________.
A. need not worry because it is completely safe
B. should never let others know your name
C. should never give out any personal information to a stranger
D. can trust them and tell them anything
4. What does the author think of the Internet?
A. Everything has two sides; so is the Internet.
B. The Internet is dangerous and harmful.
C. The Internet is wonderful because it helps people do a lot of things.
D. The Internet is boring and dull.
5. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Internet and I. B. The Development of Internet.
C. Internet Safety. D. The Information Age.
Passage 12
You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger approached with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying, in English: “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?” What should you do? A. Run away; B. Call the police; or, C. Listen closely for the device to say, in German, “Konnen Sie mir bitte sager, which Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann?”
The most appropriate response would be C. because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the world’s first portable transistor—a hand-held microcomputer that—at the same time converts one spoken language into another.
The four-pound battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April—at a price of $1,500—it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges (盒式储存器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. The item will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. Introduction, with cartridges that covert Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.
The Voice uses a microchip (微型集成块) and artificial intelligence to translate Languages. It is started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. Then the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another Language.

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money 1 food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds 2 things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used. 3 China, cloth and knives were used, in the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money 4 a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt were used as money 5 parts of Africa.
Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were found and had a square hole _6 the center. People strung them together and carried them 7 place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make 8 money.
