For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). You should decide on the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Natural rubber is obtained from rubber as a white, milky liquid known as latex (橡桨) . This is treated with acid and dried, before it is sent to countries throughout the world. As the rubber industry developed, more and more rubber was required. Rubber plantations (种植园) were set up in countries with a hot, humid climate, but these still could not supply sufficient raw rubber to satisfy the requirements of developing industry. It was unsatisfactory for industry to depend on supplies coming from so far away from the industrial areas of Europe. It was always possible that supplies could be stopped by wars or shipping trouble. For many years, attempts were made to produce a substitute, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, aw method was discovered of producing artificial rubber which is in many ways superior and in some ways inferior (劣的)to natural rubber. Artificial rubber is produced in factories by a complicated chemical process. It is usually cheaper than natural rubber. At present, the world requirements for rubber are so great that both natural and artificial rubber are used in large quantities. 36. The demand for raw rubber has been on the rise along with the development of in the world. A) plantations B)transportation C)industry D)trade 37. Raw rubber used to be produced mainly .

The best title for this passage should be . A) Natural Rubber B)The Cost for Rubber C)Artificial Rubber D)The Value of Rubber Passage Two Questions 41to 45 are based on the following passage. Noise, commonly defined as unpleasant sound, is a kind of environmental pollution. Particularly in crowded urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and seriously affects the quality of the those who are suffering from it. Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates it easily. Loud noises signal a big danger to human beings. In response, the heart would beat faster, the skin would become pale, and the muscles would get tense. As a matter of fact, some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being (安乐) ，causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is a number one nonfatal (非致命的) health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and cancers may be affected by noise pollution as well. 41. What is the author’s main point? A) Loud noises signal a big danger. B) Noise may be a serious threat to our health. C) Hearing loss is a number one nonfatal health problem. D) Noise is unavoidable in daily life. 42. What does the word “noise” mean in this passage? A) A by-product of technology. B) Unpleasant sound. C) Physical and psychology harm. D) A danger to people’s life. 43. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) Noise is our number one problem. B) Our response might last longer than the noise itself. C) Our body could resist the noise quite effectively. D) Noise is limited to urban areas. 44. According to the passage, the human being’s immediate response to noise may be the following EXCEPT that . A) the heart would beat faster. B) The skin would become pale C) The muscles would get tense D) The hands would cover up the ears 45. The word “it” (Line 4, Paragraph 1) refers to . A) harm B) life C) technology D) noise Passage Three Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Anyone who doubts that global (全球性的)financial markets control national economies need only look at the crisis facing the“tigers”of the Far East。The situation in Asia shows how power has shifted from individual governments to the markets。 The trend towards globalisation began in the early 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates, set up after World War II, stopped functioning. This meant that the value of currencies(货币)would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. By 1990, nearly all world’s major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out of their countries. Other factors contributing to the rise of globalisation are new communications technologies, and better transportation systems. These have enabled companies to grow into multinationals—producing goods on one side of the planet and selling them on the other. As we approach the century, the trend of globalisation seems unstoppable. However, a look at history suggests that things may not go that smoothly. The last time the world tried to create a global economy, its efforts were spoiled by a world war and the worst depression(经济大萧条)in history. How successful it will be this time depends on how much we have learnt from the past. 46. What would happen along with the global economy? A) Free movement of goods and capital between countries. B) Firm control of national economies by the governments. C) The great depressions in many countries. D) Economic crises in developing countries. 47. The word “multinationals”most probably means . A) companies producing many kinds of goods B) companies controlling economies of several countries C) companies having branches in several countries D) companies operating many factories within a district 48. According to this passage, national economies in most countries are now controlled by A) global markets B) individual governments C) large companies D) several multinationals 49) Which of the following does NOT appear in the process of globalization? A) New communications technologies. B) Better transportation systems. C) Global financial markets. D) Fixed exchange rates. 50. To create a global economy, it is very important for us . A) to keep world peace B) to develop multinationals C) to promote transportation D) to control national economies Passage Four Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. EL Nino(厄尔尼诺)has existed for a long time. It was first observed by Peruvian fishermen, who noticed that the sea warmed up every few years around Christmas time. They named the phenomenon EL Nino, which is Spanish for “the child”, and refers to the young Christ. In more recent years, scientists have established that EL Nino appears every two to seven years. Its cause is still unknown, but it’s clear that when it does appear, it can disrupt(扰乱)weather patterns over three quarters of the earth, in affects the world’s weather system more than any other phenomenon except the seasons. That EL Nino killed over 2,000 people in floods and droughts(旱灾)and caused $13 billion worth of damage. Plenty is now known about EL Nino’s destructive potential, but the phenomenon itself remains mysterious. Despite years of research, scientists are still unable to predict how destructive an EL Nino will be when it arrives. However, progress is being made on forecasting when one will occur. This is very important because, if enough warning is given, steps can be taken to limit the destruction and suffering that following a bad EL Nino. At the very least, farmers would know whether to plant dry-or wet-weather crops. 51. Peruvian fishermen named the phenomenon EL Nino probably because . A) it appeared every few years B) they observed it first C) it appeared around Christmas time D) the sea noticeably warmed up 52.

El Nino affects the world’s weather system by . A) disrupting weather patterns B) causing floods and droughts C) changing the seasons D) destroying the crops 55. Forecasting an EL Nino helps . A) to plant dry-weather crops B) to understand the phenomenon better C) to decrease its destructive effects D) to prevent its possible destruction Part IV Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there are four sentences which you should translate into Chinese.

Some families have cars made in China, and others own cars imported from abroad. They drive them either to work or for holidays. Cars have quite a number of advantages. It is very convenient to travel by cars, and this saves a lot of time. As a means of transportation easy to handle, family cars can carry not only people, but also goods. They can go almost anywhere owing to their small size. That’s why more and more families are trying to buy them. However, just as a coin has two sides, cars also have some disadvantages. They cost the owners a lot of money for the fuel, insurance and maintenance; they are responsible for air pollution; and what’s more, car accidents kill hundreds of people each year and traffic jams happen very often. All these cause us many problems. Therefore, we should work out some ways to solve them. 相关资料 |
