1. 重点What kind of environment do you want in the future? 1-5 C D A D A
What kind of environment do you want in the future? What can you do to help make it happen? What can other people do?
Education is one way to help the environment. You can learn about the environment in school. Radio and TV can give you
learn. Laws can also help the environment. There are laws against littering and against making the air and water dirty. Other
laws help people to save resources. The law lowering the speed limit for cars helps to save fuel.
But people don’t have to wait for laws to be passed. They can do things on their own. They can protest against products
that hurt the environment.
Another way to help the environment is to plan for the future. We may have to find new resources. In the future, people
may heat their homes with atomic power. Maybe they will use energy from the sun. Without planning, some kinds of
environment may not happen. People can act now to help make the future.

3. 重点 Inside a can the food is protected from the things that would 11- 15 B D A D C
Inside a can the food is protected from the things that would make it spoil. These are bacteria, the tiny little living plants that
are everywhere around us. Bacteria, sometimes called germs, are so tiny that we can see them only under a microscope. But
they are so powerful.
Like all living things, bacteria need food to grow. When they grow they multiply. A few bacteria become many in a matter of
minutes. When bacteria settle on food, they make changes in it. These changes are what we call spoiling.
To keep food from spoiling, we must first kill any bacteria that may already be in it. Heat and cooking do this. Next we must
keep any bacteria in the air away from the food. So we pack it into cans as airless as we can make them. We seal the cans tight.
With no bacteria in the food and no air with bacteria able to reach it, fruits, fish, meat and vegetables will stay unspoiled in a
can for years.
11. Bacteria can only be seen under a microscope because __________ . ( B ) they are so tiny
12. The heating and cooking is done __________ . ( D ) to kill the bacteria already in the food
13. How do bacteria multiply ? ( A ) Very rapidly
14. What are the changes which the bacteria make in food called ? ( D )Spoiling
15. Food is canned ___________ . ( C )to preserve it for a period of years
4. 重点The word “sport” first meant something that people did in ….16-20 CABDC
The word ―sport‖ first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and
birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today.
People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they
want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be
sportsmen for only a few years, but during their time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 pounds a year. The stars earn a lot more.
International golf and tennis champions can make more than50, 000 in a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as
much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals, like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most
surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An
advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say ―Buy our things‖. It says: ―Buy the same shirt and shoes as …‖
Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a
photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
16. What is the meaning of the word ―sport‖ today according to the passage? ( C ) Organized games.
17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? ( A ) . People play sports whenever they want to.
18. What kinds of people are called professional sportsmen? ( B ). Those who are paid for the sport they play.
19. When it comes to how much a professional footballer in England can earn, which of the following is true? ( D )The stars
earn a lot more than common professional footballers do.
20. What does the passage tell us? ( C )
C. As time goes on, sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.

5. Jupiter Communications, a market research firm, ..72%....1-5 C D D B C
Jupiter Communications, a market research firm, reports that 72% of teenagers in the United States will be online by 2003
(Stanton, 2000). This alone indicates that students will learn and communicate electronically more than any previous
generation. At the same time, teenagers are not the only digital learners. With the growing number of online courses, the
increasing accessibility of computers, and the increasing number of computer users, students of all ages are taking advantage
of distance learning or are using computers to enhance the traditional classroom experience.
Two things emerge in the study of students’ attitudes toward online learning: individual situations impact students’
perceptions of computer-based learning and students’ varied individual characteristics make it difficult to define their
perceptions conclusively. For example, some students have their own computers, while others rely on computer labs. Such
variation in computer access can result in attitudinal differences. In addition, the purpose of computer use varies. Distance
education courses, for example, use computers in different ways than traditional classrooms, which can also affect students’
perceptions. A wide variety of achievement levels and attitudes exist among both online and traditional learners. Although an
illusory ―typical learner‖ exists, a variety of factors, including students’ gender, age, and motivation, could explain different
reactions among the student population.
1.
What will make online learning more and more popular? (C) The increase of computer users.
2.
Who may become online learners? (D) People of all ages and backgrounds.
3.
According to the passage, what does (D) Online learners.
4.
Which of the following is the main factor that makes it difficult to define students' perceptions of online learning definitely?
(B) Learners' varied characteristics.
5.
What is the author's attitude towards online learning? (C) positive
6. Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, 6-10 A C B C A
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this
expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is
accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have
had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be
used
internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either
intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies
approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille
(a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs
also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and
techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
6.
Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
(A) When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.
7.
Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
(C) The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communication.
8.
Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people? (B) Braille.
9.
How many different forms of communication are mentioned here? (C) 8 — 10
10.
Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally as it doesn't represent _____. (A)
spellings
7. Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. 11-15 C C A B D
Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar,
and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so
what makes languages so much easier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners

we may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them.
First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They
discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the
rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the language. Instead
they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear and to say
strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept
information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the
meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are
interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn language in order to communicate
with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn
it.
11.
The best learners of languages ______. (C) have the best language learning techniques
12.
People who learn languages easily seem to have a _______ for learning them. (C) knack
13.
According to the passage the key factor in language learning is probably____. (A) the learner
14.
Successful language learners are _______, ______ learners with a purpose. (B) independent, active
15.
Successful language learners learn the language by _____________.( D) trying to communicate and learning from
mistakes
8. During sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body 16-20 A D D C D
During sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body disappears and recuperation ( 恢复) begins. The tired mind gathers new
energy. Once awake, the memory improves, and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspective.
Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen
hours daily and, as they grow older, the amount gradually diminishes. Young students may need twelve hours; university
students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive worker under
great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon, Thomas
Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.
Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than
twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and
a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.
Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115
hours? nearly five days, whereas animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human
beings is probably about a week.
16.
The writer implies that _________.
( A) sleep is important for good mental and physical health
17.
From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison and Darwin required, we can infer that_______.
( D) they were involved in mentally demanding work
18.
The amount of sleep required ________. ( D) all of the above.
19.
According to the passage, the sleeping routine will be built at the age of _________. ( C) 30
20.
From animal experiments, we can conclude that the final result of the lack of sleep is probably __. ( D) death
9. College brings together people from all walks of life. 21-25 A C B D B
College brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you
go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different
people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the people

you dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be
around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be
able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help
you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here
for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it
would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to
the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work
done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it.
Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.
21. What is the theme of the passage? ( A) Relationships in college.
22. What does the author say about group projects? ( C) Partners may not cooperate.
23. Why does the author recommend meeting many new people? ( B) They may influence your life.
24. How would you describe the author's personality? ( D) Optimistic and outgoing.
25. What does the author say to do if you're depressed? ( B) Talk to someone about it.
10. Women have made great strides since then ….26-30 D B A C C
Women have made great strides since then in achieving political equality. Recently, American feminists have been working
hard to achieve social and economic equality as well as political. Their belief is that, as there is nothing that women cannot do
just as well as men, they should be shown the same respect and have the same social rights and the same pay as their male
counterparts. Anything less is discrimination and sexism.
Few American girls agree with the extreme feminists who deride marriage and romantic love, but more and more of them are
prepared to live with a man outside marriage, often with the intention of buying a home and marrying only when, between
them, they have saved enough money. Young couples today share both the household chores and care of the baby.
The old generations, especially those that live in the city suburbs, are bewildered and disturbed by this trend. It is all against
the great American tradition of the
The American woman makes the most of her free time. She helps with political campaigns. She sits on committees. She goes
to classes of all kinds, from health foods to English literature, from environmental studies to karate. She swims, plays tennis,
and she takes an active interest in her children's education. In most of these activities her companions are other housewives
from her neighborhood.
There are women executives of some important industries and businesses. In fact there are women in most jobs which were
formerly reserved for men. There are women lawyers, doctors, architects, as well as women bus drivers, but the ordinary
working women will earn less than a man gets for doing the same job although there is a law which makes this illegal.
American girls tend to marry young, which means that 60% of the women in work are married. This also helps to explain why
so many young married couples have such a high standard of living.
American women seem to have more self-confidence than women from most other countries. For years they have felt no
inferiority whatsoever to the male sex. Therefore visitors to the USA rarely meet militant feminists.
26. American feminists believe that women have .
( D)not got enough social and economical equality as well as political one.
27. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?（B）Most American girls believe that there exists true love
between men and women.
28. According to the passage, more and more boys and girls choose to get married when .
( A )they have made enough money for their marriage
29. . In a newly-married couple's family, who might take care of the baby?( C) both wife and husband
30. In her spare time, the American woman enjoys being involved in all the following activities except .( C)
scientific research

11. The names of certain places in the United States …. 31-35 C A B B D
The names of certain places in the United States make people think of big businesses. Detroit, a city in Michigan, means cars.
Texas means oil. Wall Street in New York means the stock market and ―big money‖.
There is another place-name that is well known in the U.S.A. That is Madison Avenue. Madison Avenue in New York is the
place where many advertising companies have their offices. And advertising is one of the biggest businesses in America.
The same kinds of things are produced and sold by many different companies in the U.S. Many different companies sell cars;
many others sell oil. Many different companies sell soap, tires, and so on. Each company wants the public to buy its products.
By advertising these companies make the public interested in what they want to sell.
Each company pays advertisers to tell the public about its product. Suppose a company has new breakfast cereal that it wants
to sell. In an advertising office on Madison Avenue plans are made for telling the public about this product. The advertising
company takes beautiful pictures of people eating the cereal. These pictures appear in newspapers or magazines and also on
TV.
31. Detroit reminds people of _____________. ( C) cars
32. Madison Avenue is very famous because ____________.
（A）it is a place where many advertising companies have their offices
33. Why do people advertise their products ?
（B）Different companies produce and sell the same products.
34. The advertising of a new breakfast cereal is mentioned in the passage to show ___________.
（B）how a certain product is advertised
35. What is the main idea of the passage ? （D）Advertising is a very big business in America.
12. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some …. 36-40 B C A D B
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between
two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the
population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical
twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually
have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a
university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and
this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live
in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
36. According to the passage, two unrelated people randomly taken from the population _______.
(B) are very likely to have different intelligence
37. The example that two identical twins are very likely as intelligent as each other shows that _____________.
(C)blood relationship is very important in determining a person’s intelligence
38. What conclusion can be drawn from the example of two twins going to a university and to a factory separately?
（A）Environment makes a difference between the intelligence degrees of two twins.
39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct?（D）People who are not related at all have
completely different degrees of intelligence.
40. What’s the main idea of this passage?（B）Two identical twins are as intelligent as each other.
13. A young man who served as a drum-player in a band, …. 41-45 B D A C B
A young man who served as a drum-player in a band, had just married, and he and his wife were looking for somewhere to
live. They saw a lot of places, but there was always something that one of them did not like about them. At last, however, they
found a new house which both of them really like. However, there was still the problem of whether they should take one of
the ground-floor rooms, which had a small garden, or one of the upstairs ones.

At last they decided on the first-floor room – not too low down and not high up – and moved in. After they had bought
everything they needed, they gave a big party for setting up of their first home together.
It was a cheerful and noise party, as all the friends from the band came with their violins and drums. The guests danced, sang
and played noisily.
Soon after one a.m. the telephone rang. The wife went to answer it in the hall, and after she finished, she came back with a
happy smile on her face and said to her husband, ―that was the man who has just moved into the room downstairs telephoning,
dear, I’m so glad we decides not to choose it. He says it is terribly noise down there‖.
41. Why did the couple hold a party?
(B ) They wanted to celebrate the setting up of their first home.
42. Which aspect of the ground-floor rooms attracted the couple before they decided on one of the first-floor rooms?
(D )The ground-floor rooms had a small garden.
43. The party was noisy and cheerful because ________________.
(A )all their friends from the band came with their musical instruments
44. What did the wife think about their decision after she received the telephone call?
(C )They were lucky because they did not move into the ground-floor room.
45. What did the man in the ground-floor room want to do?
(B )To complain about the noise coming from upstairs.
14. A great French writer has ever said that we should help…. 46-50 B B B A D
A great French writer has ever said that we should help everyone as possible as we can because we often need help
ourselves. The small can even help the great. To this effect, he tells us the following story.
An ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all.
The poor ant, almost exhausted, was still bravely trying her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity the bird threw her a
blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself
in the grass she heard a man approaching. The man was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as
he saw the dove he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his
gun to fire. He stopped to see what was biting him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an insect much weaker and
smaller than herself that he had saved her life.

Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points)
Passage One
In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals
and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal.
Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.
Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible
forms, reducing it to a series of ―bits and bytes‖, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed
of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and
countries through computers and telecommunications devices.

Passage Two
At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to
an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group
was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown
walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made
people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room
affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.
Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.
The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to
give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in
comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

Passage Three
The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.
One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.
Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the
used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it
were fresh from a spring.
But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the
oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization,
and it is already in use in many parts of the world.
71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.
A. do experiments with water B. purify the used water and reuse it
C. use fresh water once again D. make use of seawater

72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?
A. to have the used water filtered B. to put chemicals in it
C. to pipe it to the users D. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory
73. There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t _________.
A. turn to the oceans for more water B. reuse used water and make use of seawater
C. desalt seawater D. take steps to reuse all water on earth
74. The would ―it‖ in the last sentence refers to _______.
A. seawater B. purified water
C. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawater
D. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans
75. The best title for the passage is ―_______‖.
A. How to Reuse Water
B. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water Shortage
C. Stop Wasting Our Limited Water
D. How to Make Use of Seawater
Passage Four
Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it
hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for
the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take
their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with
new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their
work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure
concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole
place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings.
Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient
works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud
to do that.
76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.
A. they are aged
B. they find it hard to accept modern things

A. means nothing B. concerns others
C. concerns only the artist D. concerns all the people in the world
79. The writer thinks that _________.
we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standards

we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards
we can’t judge modern buildings

Passage One
All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to
pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: ―Remember, once a week, one of
our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!‖
For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never
gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against
buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: ―Madam,
this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.‖
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy
any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager

Passage Two
Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the
Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic
cave system called Craighead Caverns.

The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge
rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called ―The
Council Room,‖ many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons,
and jewelry.
For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered
until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet
underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than
thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers
have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.
part of a historical cave system

Passage Three
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one 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.
For those who feel pain of 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 Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the 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. Erresto at the University of Texas, ―is poor‖.
71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.
A. the year the author wrote the article B. 1977
C. any year between 1997 and 1983 D. 1983
72. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.

several studies have been done in the past few years
the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s health
adults have especially made studies in this field
eating little in the morning is good for health
73. ―…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance‖ means ______.
anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
not giving people breakfast improve performance
having breakfast does not improve performance, either
people having breakfast do improve their performance
74. 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
75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.
breakfast does not affect performance
Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
Passage Four
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word
college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four- year programs that lead to a Bachelor of
Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for
one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance
examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools
cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes
attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad
(graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part- time.
Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports,
dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite
meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.
76. College education is _______ in America.
A. quite common B. very rare
C. something difficult D. almost impossible
77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.
A. entrance examinations B. taking part in many activities
C. GPA D. college prep classes
78. How can poor students attend private schools?
A. Only by working at part-time jobs. B. Only by working at full-time jobs.
C. Only by earning scholarships. D. All of above.
79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.
A. discuss problems on philosophy B. play balls
C. earn enough money D. go to the cinemas or theatres

80. The best title for this passage is _______.
A. Part-time jobs B. American college
C. Popular activity D. A new system
