A
All at once Hazel was coming in through the French windows, pulling off gardening gloves, and Bill was entering through the door, both at once. So I only had time to take one quick look at her before I turned to face him. All very confusing. What that first glimpse showed me was that time had thickened her figured but didn't seem to have made much difference to her face. It still had good skin and youthful outlines. She was holding a bunch of roses ---- must have been cutting them in the garden while waiting for me. The gardening gloves lent a delightfully informal touch. It was quite an entrance, though Bill spoilt it a bit by making his at the same time.
Bill seemed longer and thinner. His tightly massed hair had a tinge of gray. Apart from that, twenty years had done nothing to him, except deepen the lines of thoughtfulness that had already, when I knew him again, more carefully, as he looked away from me at Hazel. Weren't his eyes different somehow? More inward-looking than ever? Gazing in not merely at his thoughts, but at something else, something he was keeping hidden or perhaps protecting.
Then we were chattering and taking glasses in our hands, and I came back to earth. For the first ten minutes we were all so defensive, so carefully probing, that nobody learnt anything. Bill had forgotten me altogether, that much was clear. He engaged in getting to know me from scratch, very cautiously so as not to hit a wrong note, with the object of getting me to contribute a big subscription to his African project. I kept trying to absorb details about Hazel, but Bill was talking earnestly about African education, and the strain of appearing to concentrate while actually thinking about his wife proved so great that I decided it would be easier just to concentrate. So I did. I let him hammer away for about ten more minutes, and then the daughter, who seemed to be acting as parlor-maid, showed in another visitor. Evidently we were to be four at lunch.
56. When they all started talking, the writer __________.
A. relaxed at last B. stopped dreaming
C. spoke most to Hazel D. began to remember things
57. Why did Bill speak seriously?
A. He wanted some money from the writer.
B. He did not remember the writer.
C. His wife was present.
D. He was talking about the past.
58. What is the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph one
A. door B. the act of entering C. gate D. hall
59. which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?
A. Hazel must have been an acquaintance of the writer’s .
B. The people to be at lunch would be the writer, Hazel, Bill and the daughter.
C. Bill and Hazel were husband and wife.
D. The writer pretended to be listening but actually he was lost in memories.
B
BARCELONA, Spain: The AIDS pandemic(流行病) will cause a decline in life expectancy in 51 countries in the next two decade, according to a study released on the opening day of the world’s biggest AIDS Conference(meeting).
Seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa now have average life expectancies of under 40 years. In tiny Botswana, life expectancy is now 39 years, instead of the 72 it would have been without the emergence(appearance) of AIDS.
“The AIDS pandemic is dramatically changing the demographic(人口统计的) makeup of African countries. But many are only now beginning to see the impact of these high levels of HIV prevalence,” said Karen A. Stanecki, a demographer at the US Census Bureau.
The falling life expectancy reflects not only an increase in the deaths of young people, but also an increase in infant mortality(death-rate).
Activists and top officials united in calling for cheap, life-saving drugs to be made available to combat AIDS in poor countries.
Peter Piot, head of the United Nations AIDS (UNAIDS) agency, said:“Treatment is technically feasible in every part of the world… It’s not knowledge that’s the barrier, it’s political will.”
In the west, 500,000 people were treated with drugs last year and 25,000 people died.
In Africa, which has been hardest hit by the epidemic, 30,000 are having treatment and 2.2 million have died.
60. Which of the following can be he best title of the passage?
A. AIDS: life Span Reduced B. Life Span Being Reduced
C. A World Problem D. Combating AIDS
61. The most important reason why so many people died of AIDS in Africa may be that________.
A. No better drugs have ever been made to cure the disease.
B. The people there are too poor to buy drugs to take.
C. The number of people treated with drugs is too small.
D. The government don’t pay enough attention to this problem.
62. The writer’s purpose of writing the text is to _____________.
A. tell us how many people die of AIDS in Africa.
B. tell us that life span has been reduced by AIDS in Africa.
C. tell us how serious the situation with AIDS is in Africa.
D. inform us what is happening in Africa.
C
Drunken driving----something called America’s socially accepted form of murder----has become a national epidemic(widespread disease). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an unbelievable 250,000 over the past decade.
A drunken drive is usually defined (定义) as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American macho (男子气的) image and judges were lenient(宽大的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers were more than doubles, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied (followed) by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist pressure to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities (deaths). Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously drunken” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition (禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hoover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn’t stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
63. Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because _________.
A. most Americans are heavy drinkers.
B. Americans are now less shocked by road accidents
C. Accidents attract so much publicity
D. Drinking is a socially accepted habit in America
64.Why has public opinion regarding drunken driving changed?
A. Detailed statistics are now available.
B. The news media have highlighted the problem.
C. Judges are giving more severe sentences.
D. Drivers are more conscious of their image.
65.Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that _________.
A. many drivers were not of legal age
B. young drivers were often bad drivers
C. the level of drinking increased in the 1960s
D. the legal drinking age should be raised
66. Why is the problem of drinking and driving difficult to solve?
A. Alcohol is easily obtained.
B. Drinking is linked to organized crime.
C. Legal (法律的) prohibition has already failed.
D. Legislation alone is not sufficient (enough).
D
All of us rely on what we see. We say to ourselves, “I know, I was there; I saw it happen” and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?
Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee. “He was out of bounds when he caught the pass,” says one fan. Says another,“You’re crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind.” The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced – because they were there!
It’s the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony(证词). But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses overestimated the man’s height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the wrong hair color in 83 percent of the cases. These witnesses didn’t play tricks on them!
What can we do to keep error to minimum? First of all, don’t let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don’t see something because you want to see it. Secondly, try to stay relaxed. If you are tense, you are liable to see red when the color is blue. And finally, it helps to make notes of what you see. Don’t rely on your memory alone. Take pictures, make recordings, and use any other aid to reduce distortion(扭曲).
67. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that __________ .
A. all of us rely on what we see.
B. Sworn witnesses and sports fans rarely give accurate descriptions of what they see
C. We can’t completely trust the evidence of our eye.
D. Eyewitnesses are unreliable.
68. Statistical studies show that _________.
A. courtroom testimony only confuses the jury
B. in 83 percent of the cases, witnesses overestimate age by eight years
C. witnesses are remarkably accurate
D. testimony of people reporting what they see is often unreliable
69. The word “them” in the last line of paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. the eyes of the witnesses B. the sworn testimony given by the witnesses
C. the members of the jury D. the height, age and hair color of the criminal
70. To keep visual error to a minimum, all of the following are necessary EXCEPT _________.
A. to stay calm B. to get close for a better look
C. not to let your emotions interfere D. to make notes of what you see
E
We can see how the
product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When
it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee
and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At
one point, though, Instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands
were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached
to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a
slight decline （衰退）when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
The importance of the
product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life
cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend (lengthen) product
life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market
modification(change for good). It means that marketing managers look for new
users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that
so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?
Market modification
also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a
different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the
product to appeal to new market sections.
Another product
extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product
quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present
users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to
recapture (重新夺回) world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once
changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.
71. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of
a product, its sales will .
A. decrease gradually B. become unstable
C. improve enormously D. remain at the same level
72. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is .
A. usually introduced to satisfy different
tastes
B. often more expensive than old ones
C. often inferior to old ones at first
D. not easily accepted by the public
73. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to .
A. work out marketing policies B. increase its popularity
C. promote its production D. speed up its life cycle
74. The author mentions the example of "backpacks"(Line 4, Para.2 )
to show the importance of .
A. increasing usage among students B. exploring new market sections
C. pleasing the young as well as the old D. serving both military and civil needs
75. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are .
A. improving product quality B.
modernizing product style
C. re-positioning their product in the market D. increasing product features
