I think the modern

happiness.
Can you imagine what
it was like in the past? When _ 17_ wanted to write a letter, you had to go and
find a bird’s _18_, cut it into a point, then keep _19_ it into a small jar of
ink. You had to keep on sharpening the point too because it soon got blunt,

with a stick.
Of course, some

type quickly. If you don’t , you spend_25__ correcting mistakes and your letter

_27__, and you certainly can’t put one in your pocket.
Perhaps we’ll soon
all have pocket tape recorders and give up writing altogether. We’ll just send
_28__ to each other. But __19_ the moment I think I’ll keep my ballpoint pens

A
Utopia is a perfect place. It is a
place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people
work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not
need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to
everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato,
the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous
dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and
every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about
an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the
island
“Utopia”. In 1602,
Tommaso Campanella wrote. The City in the Sun about a perfect community on the
island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka ) ; and in 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel
about a perfect country which he named “Erewhon”. “Utopia” is a Greek word that
means “not a place”, and “Brewton” is the English word “nowhere” spelled
backwards.
Utopia is a perfect place, but it
is not a real place. Most ‘real’ Utopias last only a short time. This is
because everyone wants to live in it, but no one knows how to make it work. As
a result, when we say something is ‘Utopia’ today, we mean that it is a good
idea, but it is not realistic.
31. Which of the following would be the best t
title for this passage?
a.
Utopia b.
A Good Idea
c. A Perfect Place d.
The Utopian Community
32. The reason why there are no personal
possessions in Utopia is that ______.
a)
everything
belongs to everyone
b)
the
people don’t need money
c)
all of
the people are created equal
d)
the
laws are reasonable
33. The idea of Utopia was suggested by
________.
a. Plato
b. Utopian people
c. Tommaso, Samuel Butler and Sir Thomas
More
d. A and B
34. All these Utopian communities that are
mentioned in this passage were established in _____.
a. American b. Indiana c. America and India d. Greek
35. According to the passage, most ‘real’
Utopias last only a short time because _______.
a)
no one
wants to be a leader
b)
no one
knows how to make a perfect society
c)
it is
difficult to collect money
d)
everyone
wants to live in Utopia
B
The legal limit for driving after
drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when
tested. But there is not sure way of telling how much you can drink before you
reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on our weight, your sex,
if you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might
reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
In fact, your drinking ability can
be affected by just one or tow drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit,
you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has
been affected by alcohol.
It takes about an hour for the
body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy
drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is
still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over
the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another
one or tow drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.
In a test with professional
drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain they ere that
they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts and the less
able they were to do it!
So the only way to
be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
Alcohol is a major cause of road
accidents. One is three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of
alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are
the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of people stopped by
the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of
more than twice the legal limit.
It is important to remember that
driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved
in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person
you might kill or injure.
36. Which of the following statements is NOT
true?
a)
Three
standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit.
b)
There
is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal
limit.
c)
The
legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.008 gm of alcohol in 100
milliliters of blood.
d)
The
amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same
for different people.
37. If the police think that you have been
drinking from the way you are driving, you’ll possibly _______.
a. be fined b.
receive a severe punishment
c. be taken to court by the police d. feel guilt
38. We may infer that even a professional
driver will find hard to pass through a set of moveable posts if he drinks
_______.
a. heavily b. a little c. every day d. occasionally
39. This passage indicated that ________.
a)
a
driver who does not take any alcohol will not die in road accidents
b)
those
who drink must be killed
c)
more
young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way
d)
one is
three of the drivers often drinks a lot
40. One of the writer’s purposes in writing the
passage is to tell you that _______.
a)
young
men should never drive quickly
b)
driving
after drinking may put many lives at risk
c)
safe
drinking is impossible
d)
the
manner of drinking is meaningless
C
In science the meaning of the word
“explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science
cannot really explain electricity magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and
predicted （预测）, but of their nature no more is known to
the modern scientist than to Thales who first speculated on the electrification
of amber(琥珀). Most present physicists reject the
notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are.
Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, it is a way in which
things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified,
and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to
tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea.
Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two
thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality
by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a
self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, so
one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they
belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of
Aristotelian science was to explain why thins happen. Modern science was born
when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated (使成起源 )the method of controlled experiment which now forms
the basis of scientific investigation.
41. From this passage we learn that the effects
of electricity, magnetism and gravitation can be measured and _____.
a.
foreclosed b.
prearranged c. forecast d. precl
42. Most modern physicists agree with the idea
that _______.
a)
man
can not discover what these mysterious forces “really” are
b)
man
can discover what these mysterious forces “really” are
c)
man
can discover everything in the universe
d)
man
can not discover the nature of electrification
43. The principle that everything in the
universe has its proper place is favored by _________.
a. St. Paul b. Bertrand Russell c. Galileo d. Aristotle
44. The aim of Aristotle’s natural science is
to explain _______.
a. the method of controlled experiment b. the search of reality
c. how things happen d. why things happen
45. According to the passage, which of the
following is NOT true?
a)
Bertrand
Russell’s concept of electricity is not in harmony( 和谐，协调 ) with the basis of scientific investigation.
b)
Bertrand
Russell’s concept of electricity is in harmony with the basis of scientific
investigation.
c)
Aristotle’s
natural science most influence scientific thought for two thousand years.
d)
Thales
first guessed the electrification of amber.

Between now (June) and Labour
Day, millions of Americans will offer up their bodies to the sun’s rays. A an
indicates health and beauty, and most sun worshippers will sacrifice ( 牺牲 ) lot to achieve
it including themselves. With each hour, the sun’s ultraviolet (紫外线 ) radiation
produces irreversible ( 不可逆的) damage, hastening the development of unsightly
wrinkles. And with each year on the beach or rooftop, the sunbather increases
his risk of getting skin cancer.
Skin cancer is by far the most
common form of cancer. An estimated 400,000 new cases will be detected this
year in the US, and almost all of them can be blamed on overexposure to the
sun. Fortunately, most of these cancers are highly curable. But they can be
disfiguring and take time to treat. For that reason, sun worshippers should
treat deity with a good deal of awe.
Sunburn, of course, is the
initial danger posed by UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to UV, however,
interferes with the production of collagen fibres in the dermis, causing the
skin to lose elasticity and creating premature wrinkles. Further damage of the
dermis deprives the epidermis of nutrition and causes it to become thin and
dry.
Cancer is UV’s final insult.
Short-wave radiant energy, especially from the UV-B band, breaks the strands of
DNA. Enzymes works constantly to rearrange the DNA into proper sequence, but
with repeated UV exposure, the
repair process may eventually break down. Then DNA may produce a colony of
cancer cells.
But skin cancer may be avoided
with a good dose of common sense. People with fair skin and blue eyes who burn
easily stand the highest risk. Special danger spots are the parts of the body
most constantly exposed to the sun, such s the cheeks, nose, lower lip and the
ears. People who have already had one skin-cancer growth stand a greatly increased
chance of developing others. People are recommended avoiding the sun when it is
most intense between 11am and 3 pm. Anyone who insists on sunbathing should use
a good sun screen. These lotions contain chemicals that block out the burning
UV-B radiation while permitting the tanning rays to reach the skin.
46. According to the
passage, overexposure to the sun may result in ________.
a. the wrinkles
that cannot be seen b. the skin cancer
c. all kinds of
sacrifices d. healthful beauty
47. The word “deity” in
the second paragraph refers to ________.
a. something
mysterious b. the skin
cancer
c. the sun
d. overexposure to the sun
48. Which of the
following comes first as a possible damage by UV radiation?
a. Sunburn
b. The loss of
skin elasticity.
c. Dryness of
epidermis
d. The damage of dermis
49. Why does the repair
process of the DNA may finally fail?
a)
Because short-wave radiant energy breaks the strands
of the DNA.
b)
Because the DNA may produce a colony of cancer cells.
c)
Because enzymes work to rearrange the DNA into a new
order.
d)
Because the patient is exposed to UV from time to
time.
50. The last paragraph
of the passage mainly discuss _______.
a)
the treatment of the cancer
b)
the prevention of the skin cancer
c)
the parts of the body where cancer is most likely to
develop
d)
the lotions that work best in fighting against the
skin cancer

Generation Gap
These days the
generation gap is a hot social issue. A generation gap refers to the difference
in point of view and the lack of understanding between the young and old
people. It’s something that exists everywhere in the world.
Different age groups
react differently to new things and have different attitudes to traditional
customs and beliefs. Because our way of thinking is formed at a young age when
we are easily affected by society, young people look to the future while the
elderly prefer thinking about the good old days. Young people like being
independent. However, sometimes their behaviours hurt the old very much. The
older generation’s way of thinking also often lags behind the young one.
If we don’t deal with
the problem properly, the gap will get bigger and affect the relations between
the young and old in our society. While the young are asking for understanding,
the old could also do with some. Understanding should come from both.
