26．套题4..III.文章1

American put more people in prison in the 1990s than in any decade in its history. That stated a debate over the wisdom of spending billions of dollars to keep nearly 2million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1 983 084 men and women in prisons. That shows an increase of nearly 840 000 prisoners during the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prisoner population in the world. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about $20 000 a year, the cost in 1999 for keeping all these prisoners behind bars is about $39 billion.

Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying the cost of keeping prisoners behind bars doesn't seem much in comparison to the cost of crime to society. They also point out that the rise in the prisoner population in the 1990s coincided with a ste ady drop in the US crime rates. It is reported that serious crime has decreased for seven years in a row. “There are a noticeable number of people who don't do crimes because they don't want to go to prison," they say.

3. In 1999, the government spent about $39 billion to __B _____.

A、improve the prison conditions

B、keep men and women in prison

C、build houses for prisoners

D、maintain the prisons

A、crime will cost more money to society

B、the government can well afford the money

27．套题1.III.文章2

There are some problem areas for international students and immigrants studying in the United States. Making friends is a challenge (this is also true for some American students). Many colleges and universities offer a variety of student clubs and organizations where both foreign-born and native American students have a greater chance of meeting people with shared interests. Information about these out-of-class activities is often posted in the student center and listed in the student newspaper. Sometimes foreign students and immigrant students find Americans to be "cliquish (有派性的)." (Americans find some non-U.S.-born students to be cliquish as well.) If people feel separate from the social aspects of American college life, they should actively seek people with shared interests. It is unlikely that students will make friends just by passing people on the campus.

Foreign or immigrant students may feel confused during the first few weeks at a new school because they do not understand the system and are not willing to ask questions. Many students do not take advantage of the numerous services offered on campus that assist students in developing new skills and social groups. Some colleges offer students tutorial support in such subjects as writing, language study, computer skills, and other basic subjects. Students who appear to be most successful in "learning the ropes" are those who can solve problems by taking the initiative to ask questions, locate resources, and experience new social situations

1. In the United States, students can find friends with the same interests ___ D __

A、by passing people on the campus

B、by reading the student newspaper

C、by visiting the student center

A、joining social activities within the university

B、being easily accepted by the university

C、finding people with shared interests

D、getting a job in American society

3. When they first come to college, some foreign students may feel confused because ___C ____.

A、they are denied any help from people around

B、they are provided with few services

C、they are faced with an unfamiliar education system

D、they are unwilling to adapt themselves to the new environment

4. The phrase “learning the rope” (Line 5 – 6, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to __D ___.

A、finding the way to develop new skills

B、having the skills to operate computers

C、learning how to answer questions

D、knowing how to handle problems

5. From the passage we may conclude that foreign students ___A ___.

A、may face some problems in adjusting to college life

B、are unlikely to be successful in American college life

C、are not good at developing friendship and social groups

D、can hardly make friends when they enter an American college

26．People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.

First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is b roken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the thinker must define the problem. Before San can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For example, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bike repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. he can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil in the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels. Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

1. What is the best title for this passage? B

A、Six Stages for Repairing Sam’s Bicycle

B、Possible Ways to Problem-solving

C、Necessities of Problem Analysis

D、Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem

27．You go shopping for a new refrigerator, and you’re on a budget (手头拮据). Are you sure that the best buy is “the fridge with the lowest sales price”? Not necessarily. When you buy the lowest-priced refrigerator, you may end up spending more than if you buy a more expensive one. The reason is that the cost of owning a home appliance consists of three components: the initial purchase price, the cost of repairs and maintenance, and the cost to operate it.

To figure out how much you’ll spend over the lifetime of the appliance, you have to look at all these costs. The appliance with the lowest purchase price, or even the best repair record, isn’t necessarily the one that costs the least to operate.

Suppose you’re in the market for a new refrigerator. Different models of refrigerators with the same capacity can vary dramatically in the amount of electricity they use. For example, the annual electricity consumption varies from a low of about 600kilowatt-hours a year to a high of more than 800 kilowatt-hours a year. That means the annual cost to operate refrigerators can range from about $50 to $80. A $30 difference in annual operating costs might not sound like much, but remember that you will enjoy these savings year after year for the life of the appliance otherwise. As a result, you may actually save money by purchasing the more expensive, more energy-efficient model.

1. the cost of owning an appliance may include __ D __________

A、the cost for maintenance and repairs

B、the difference in the price

C、the energy used by the appliance

D、both A and C

2. Annual cost for running a refrigerator may reach _____ C _____.

A、about $30

B、from $30 to $50

C、from $50 to $ 80

D、over $ 80

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A

A、A more expensive appliance saves you more money.

B、a low-price appliance can cost you more money in other ways.

C、Refrigerators with the same capacity may not consume the same energy.

D、It is necessary to consider the cost of a refrigerator in different ways.

4. What are energy efficient appliances? B

A、Those with a large capacity.

B、Those with a low energy consumption.

C、Those with a low initial purchase price.

D、Those with low cost of repairs.

5. What can be a conclusion from the passage? D __

A、The more expensive the appliance is, the better.

B、The less expensive the appliance is, the better.

C、Don’t buy an appliance that costs a lot for repairs and maintenance.

D、To buy an expensive but energy-saving appliance can be the choice.

第26题In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.

The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the town hoping for better work and pay.

One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce; it would cause a great deal of resentment, which would ultimately lead to violence.

The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural areas.

D、not sufficient

4．According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if _____ B ______

A、traditional methods of farming are well kept

B、conditions in rural areas are much improved

C、the government can provide more jobs

D、violence could be controlled in cities

5．Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the countryside? _ D _

A、Their expectations.

B、Their interests.

C、Their incomes.

D、Their attitudes

第27题Genes that control factors such as size, color and shape determine the differences in fruit. And now that scientists have discovered how to detect different genes, farmers can hand over a young and tender branch to have its genes checked prior to planting. It works the same way as a detective checking fingerprints. Once farmers know which trees are good and which are bad, they can discard the bad ones. Farmers can even create new varieties according to their individual tastes.

In the past three years, tens of thousands of tests were carded out to determine the genetic (基因的) features of fruit. Zhang, a Chinese scientist, showed a photo of a DNA-test and pointed to the shining lines on it, saying that the lines were genetic signs that tell us what a tree's fruit will belike. For example, the ordinary pear tree bears fruit after four years. But now it only takes a month to test the DNA from a young leaf and a farmer will know everything about its fruit. By mixing different types of trees with suitable genes, farmers can create whatever fruit trees they want

1．Detecting different genes in plants is like ___ A____.

A、the examination of human finger-prints

B、the development of new varieties of fruit

第26题Have you ever gone to concert and realized that your seats were right next to the booming speakers? Sometimes it’s difficult to avoid loud music or noises, but they can be bad news because loud noises can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Extremely loud music and noises that go on for long periods of time are common causes of deafness. If a noise is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, there is a chance that the mechanism inside your ear can be injured.

Temporary hearing loss can happen after you’ve been exposed to loud noises for only 15 minutes. If you have temporary hearing loss, you won’t be able to hear as well as you norm ally can, and you may have tinnitus (耳鸣)，which is a fancy word for ringing in the ears. Your ears can feel “full”, too. Luckily, these things usually go away and your hearing soon returns to normal. Permanent hearing loss can happen when someone is exposed to loud noises over and over. Construction workers and people who work in factories must wear ear protection because the equipment they use can be extremely loud. But even some lawn mowers and power tools can permanently affect a person’s ability to hear high-pitched noises and can also give him permanent tinnitus. Listening to extremely loud music over and over can also have the same effect on a person’s hearing. And using headphones on a portable cassette or CD player can be dangerous because if the volume is too high and the headphones are used a lot, the noise can damage the ears. So just be sure the volume isn’t up too high, and give the ears a rest every once in a while.

第27题Some consumer-goods makers in China are starting to pay attention to brand-building. The smartest are moving beyond simple product ads to marketing an entire lifestyle. Li-Ning, the largest producer in China’s sportswear market, has just

launched an advertising campaign, under the mottos “Goodbye” and “Anything is possible”. Costing 15m yuan ($ 1.8m), eight times the company’s usual ad spend, it taps into the Chinese belief that they safely wave goodbye to their hard lives of the past, and that the future is filled with unlimited opportunities.

After years of focusing on cheap prices, Li-Ning, like many Chinese companies, has spent the past two years learning that branding pays. The company is investing around 10% of its 1 billion yuan revenues in marketing, compared with 5% two years ago, and the proportion is due to grow.

That investment, which includes hiring a foreign ad agency, has enabled Li-Ning to hold on to its leadership despite the encroachment of foreign firms. Li-Ning leads both America’s Nike, which has about 800m yuan in sales in mainland Chia, and Germany’s Adidas. The prospect of the Olympics is helping to expend the market by moer than 25%a year. Mr. Xu reckons the new branding campaign should enable Li-Ning to double the retail prices of its most expensive products (shoes) to around 1,000 yuan in a few years, roughly what Nike’s most expensive shoes cost now.

1．How much does Li-Ning usually spend on advertising? __A_

A、About 1.8 million yuan

B、15 million yuan

C、50 million yuan

D、100 million yuan

2．To keep its leadership in sportswear market, Li-Ning has ______B_______.

A、lowered the price of its most expensive shoes

B、hired an ad agency from other countries

C、cooperated with Nike and Adidas

D、kept on selling cheap sportswear

3．Which of the following statements is false according to the passage? __D_

A、Advertising products is better than introducing a new lifestyle.

B、Li-Ning and other sportswear producers will benefit from the Olympic Games.

C、Li-Ning is beginning to pay attention to brand-building.

D、Nike has a bigger market in China than Li-Ning. 4．Now the retail price of Li-Ning’s most expensive shoes is about _________A____.

A、1,000 yuan

B、250 yuan

C、500 yuan

D、,000 dollars

5．Li-Ning’s new advertising campaign ________C______.

A、markets a new lifestyle

B、asks people to say goodbye to foreign sportswear products

C、focuses on cheap sportswear products

D、makes Li-Ning the largest sportswear producer

第26题For more than half an hour 38 law-abiding “good” citizens watched a killer follow and stab a woman in three separate attacks in a section of New York City. No one telephoned the police during the attacks; one witness called after the woman was dead. This is what the police say happened beginning at 3:20 AM in the respectable, middle-class, tree-lined area: Twenty-eight-year-old Kitty Genovese was returning home from her job as manager of a bar. She parked her red Fiat in a parking lot, locking the door, and started to walk the 100 feet to the entrance of her apartment at 82-70 Austin Street.

The entrance to the apartment is in the rear of the building because the front is rented to retail stores. At night the queer neighborhood slumbers in the darkness that marks most residential areas.

Miss Genovese noticed a man at the far end of the parking lot, near a seven-story apartment house. She halted. Then, nervously she headed up Austin Street toward a call box for the 102nd Police Precinct. She got as far as a street light in front of a bookstore before the man grabbed her. She screamed. Lights went on in the 10-story apartment house facing the bookstore. Windows opened and voices punctuated the morning stillness. Miss Genovese screamed, “Oh my God, he stabbed me! Pleas help me! Please help me!”

From an upper window in the apartment house, a m an called down, “Let that girl alone!”

The attacker looked up at him, shrugged, and walked down Austin Street toward a white car parked nearby. Miss Genovese struggled to her feet.

Lights went out. The killer returned to Miss Genovese, who was now trying to make her way around the side of the building by the parking lot to get to her apartment. The killer stabbed her again.

“I’m dying!” she shrieked. “I’m dying!”

Windows were opened again, and lights went on in many apartments. The killer got into his car and drove away. Miss Genovese staggered to her feet. A city bus passed. It was 3:35 AM.

The attacker returned. By then, Miss Genovese had crawled to the back of the building, where freshly painted doors to the apartment house held out hope for safety. The k iller tried the first door; she wasn’t there. At the second door he found she had slumped on the floor at the foot of the stairs. He stabbed her a third time – fatally.

It was 3:50 by the time police received their first call from a man who was a neighbor of Miss Genovese. In two minutes they were at the scene. The male neighbor, a 70-year-old woman, and another woman were the only persons on the street. Nobody else came forward. The man explained that he’d called the police after much deliberation. He’d ph oned a friend for advice and then had crossed the roof of the building to the apartment of the elderly woman to get her to make the call.

I didn’t want to get involved,” he sheepishly told the police.

Six days later, the police arrested Winston Moseley and charged him with murder.

The police stressed how simple it would have been to have reached them. “A phone call,” said one of the detectives, “would have done it.” The police may be reached by dialing “O” for operator.

Today witnesses from the neighborhood find it difficult to explain why they hadn’t called the police.

A housewife casually said, “We thought it was a lover’s quarrel.” A husband and wife said, “Frankly, we were afraid.” They seemed aware of the fact that events might have been different. An u pset woman said, “I didn’t want my husband to get involved.”One couple, now willing to talk about the night, said they heard the first screams. The husband looked thoughtfully at the bookstore where the killer first grabbed Miss Genovese. “We went to the window to see what was happening,” he said, “but the light from our bedroom made it difficult to see the street.” The wife, still apprehensive, added, “I put the light and we wer e able to see better.” Asked why they hadn’t called the police, she replied, “I don’t know.”

A man peered out from a slight opening in the doorway to his apartment and gave an account of the killer’s second attack. Why hadn’t he called the police at that time? “I was tired,” he said without emotion. “I went back to bed."

It was 4:25 AM when the ambulance arrived to take the body of Miss Genovese. It drove off. “Then,” a solemn police detective said, “the people came out.”

1．Miss Genovese obviously belonged to the middle class, members of which D

A、are generally considered to be decent, law-abiding citizens.

B、are held in respect in society.

C、earn a nice income and enjoy comfortable living conditions.

D、all of the above.

2．When the attacker stabbed Miss Genovese, C

A、few people around heard her screaming for help.

B、only on neighbor heard her screams.

C、many neighbors heard her screaming for help.

D、many neighbors might have heard her screams but there was no evidence that they had.

3．When a man shouted from an upper window, the attacker D

A、was frightened.

B、ran away.

C、ignored him.

D、didn’t care much.

4．Which of the following statements is NOT true? C

A、Seeing that no one came to the rescue of Miss Genovese, the attacker returned and stabbed her a second time.

B、During the second attack Miss Genovese screamed for help more desperately.

C、No evidence showed that people in the apartments were aware of what was happening.

D、Stabbed twice, Miss Genovese was seriously wounded and very weak.

5．Which of the following statements is true? D

A、Miss Genovese tried to crawl to her apartment but collapsed on her way.

B、If she had got inside one of those freshly painted doors, she could surely be protected from further attack.

C、The attacker saw her lying on the floor at the foot of the stairs and stabbed her a third time.

D、The victim was already dead when the attacker gave her a third stab.

第24题Is the elephant the biggest land animal in __ existence___ today?

第27题People landing at London’s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain’s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome is a huge semi-circle of plastic and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.

The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects. His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be lining and working in the near future.

Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age.

What is an “information age” building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have “jobs for life”, modern buildings are designed for a number of different uses. Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidou Center in France, uses the idea that information is commu nication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidou Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.

1．The Millennium Dome has been originally built to hold an exhibition __ C____.

A、of different building designs

B、of everything that can draw the attention of people

C、of the finest things in Britain

D、of recent developments in information technology

2．The sentence “His work points the way to new developments in building” (Line 2, Para. 2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ___ C___.

A、has developed a new set of building standards

B、strictly follows the tradition in his work

C、is a pioneer architect of his age

D、is the father of modern architecture

3．Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows that it is his duty to __ D____.

A、create something out of a unique style

B、house those people who will often change their jobs

C、make his buildings historic ones

D、construct a building that can meet the changes of the modern age

4．The Pompidou Center in France is outstanding in the fact that __ B____.

A、people in it are able to visit each other conveniently

B、visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole building

C、it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information age

D、it was designed and built by an honest British designer

5．This short passage mainly tells us about ___ A___.

B、modern buildings of various styles

第26题Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few – for example, the average number of close friends among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not essential, it can be more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be built on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common – people will talk of being on the same wavelength. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and keep their promises. Also friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinions. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.

1．According to the author, _______ B_____.

A、friends are those who get on well with each other

B、friends are closer than people who just get on with each other

C、it is not easy to understand how people become friends

D、every student has 6 friends

2．When we make friends, we consider such things as age, race, and background, because _____ C_________.

A、these are the most important factors in making friends

B、friends need to know all these things

C、a marked difference in age and background often makes friendship difficult

D、the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for their shared interest can vary greatly

3．In paragraph 2,“being on the same wavelength”means ________ C_____ .

A、using the same frequency while talking

B、keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do

C、having the same background

D、having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests

4．Which of the following is NOT implied or directly stated in the passage? B

A、Even friends may have differences of opinions

B、Friends never argue with each other

C、It generally takes time for people to become close friends

D、Some habits may annoy his friends

5．To strengthen friendly relationship, people _________ C______ .

A、must hold friendship ceremonies

B、should make friends with those who are of the same age and background

C、should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions

D、have to give up differences in background

She is s taring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the nat ive boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bo wl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thi ng -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. Unit2 Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, an d medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before t hese became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform. Of all Jefferson's many talents, one is central. He was above all a good and ti reless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes.

However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an i nterview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minut e bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter to feel nervous. Unit 4 As a boy and then as an adult,I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein .He was the only person i knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him .He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this :to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning .He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach .but this did not frustrate him .He was content to go as far as he could.
