Passage 1
Of all the family members,grandparents are probably the least valued.They are just
the people who have always been around.They make a fuss over the children in the
family,show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child,and
show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything,and
grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around.
When you are small,it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always
let you do things you can't do at home,and,of course,they buy you things.They are
always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see
their grandchildren.They are usually good for a small loan now and then doesn't need
to be paid back because they turn it into a gift.You respectfully listen to their
advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you,and then don't call
or visit them until you need something else.And,of course,you never tell them how
dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway.Then all of
a sudden,they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do,and

Passage 3
Cars are an important part of life in th United States.Without a car, most people
feel that they are poor.An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when
he has a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers.He probably
didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture.The car made the
Unite States a nation on wheels.And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States.First
of all,the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it.The car
provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation.With a car people
can go any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really
developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation.Long-distance
have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the
world.Nowadays,there is a good system of air-service provided by planes.But it is
too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one,though.The American spirit of
independence is what really made cars popular.Americans don't like to wait for a
bus or a train or even a plane.They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule.A
car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.And this is the freedom that
Americans want most to have.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans.But the answer will not
be a bigger system of public transportation.The real solution will have to be a new
kind of car,one that does not use so much gas.
31,When do most Americans feel they are poor?
A.When they don't have a car
C.When they don't planes.
B.When they live in a huge country
D.When they have a car
32.Why do cars become popular in the United States?
A.The United States is huge.
C.Americans like to be independent
B.Public transportation is not so good.
D.Americans like to move around
33.What public transportation is good in the United States?
A.Buses
B.Trains
C.Taxis
D.Planes
34.What has caused a big problem for Americans?
A.A new kind of car
C.The gas shortage
B.Public transportation
D.Poor people
35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?
A.Cars have made the nation on wheels.
B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortge
C.Nearly 80%of the American people have cars.
D.Cars have made American independent.
Passage 4
There is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of
answering theoretical questions;technology is a method of solving practical
problem.Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable
phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts
and relationships;technology has to do with tools,techniques,and procedures for
implementing the finding of science.
Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the
progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor.Scientists,who seek
to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy
and certainty,cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes
or to popular ideas about the fitness of things.What scientists discover may shock
or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution.But even an unpleasant truth
is more than likely to be useful;besides,we have the choice of refusing to believe
it!But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to
hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead;we do not have
the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living
in a non-atomic age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms
of the human factor.The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in
general,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who
presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic if
it is to lead to a better world.
36.Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?
A.Scinece provides answers to theoretical questions.
B.Scinece seeks to comprehend the universe.
C.Scinece aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and rules that explain
them.
D.Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.
37.Which of the followig statements about technology is NOT true?
A.Technology provides answer to practical problems.
B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.
C.Technology helps change the material world.
D.Technology has to do with new desings and ways of making the we use in our daily
life.
38.According to the author,scientific theories
.
A.must be strictly objective.
B.usually pay attention to people
C.should conform to popular opinions.
D.always convince everyone
39.The author states that technology itself
.
A.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion
B.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves
C.will lead to a better world if put to wise use
D.will inevitably be for bad motivation
40.The tone of the author in this passage is
A.ironical

,together they all add up to something,they are
46
Reading is pleasure of the mind,which means what it is a little like a sport:your
eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good
.Reading is fun,not
because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your
works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your
own
experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different
,and your
ideas develop
you understand his.Every book stands by itself,like a
one-family house,but books in a library are like house in a city.Although they are
45
with each other and with
other cities.The same ideas,or
ones,turn up in different places;the human
problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature,but win
according to different writings at different times.Books influence
different
each other;they
the past,the present and the future and have their own
,like families.Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of
50
the families of ideas,and in the long run,you not only find out about the world and
the people in it,you find out about yourself,too.

My Attitude toward Private Cars
Nowadays, private cars can be seen everywhere in China as the life standard
has been increasingly improved along with the economy. Several reasons are
responsible for this. Owing a private car has many advantages. The greatest advantage
of all is that the car gives its owners more convenience and saves them a lot of
time, enables them to go where they please. People can cover long distances by car
rapidly and comfortably.
However, too many private cars have caused a lot of social problems as well.
The worst of all the disadvantages is the heavy traffic we face everyday. We may
wait hours a day wasting our lives to struggle a way to work.
It is essential that effective measures should be taken to reduce the heavy
traffic. Firstly, we should try bicycle as much as possible since it is a good way
to keep fit. Then, we can share one with neighbors or relatives as much as possible
when going to work or picking up children, which can also save us a lot money and
time.
