You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for the production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functions. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure. 41. This passage is most probably ________.

A) a news item B) part of an introduction to a book C) part of a lecture D) an advertisement 42. What is the most important to agriculture is ________. A) the amount of food it produces B) the per capita income of farmers C) its industrial performance D) the production of investment goods 43. The underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refers to ________. A) the provision of food and raw materials B) the productivity of farmers C) the production of investment goods D) the economy as a whole 44. The performance of farmers essentially determines ________. A) the size of the working population B) the organization of agriculture C) the market structure D) the general development of economy 45. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________. A) the structure of American farming population B) the market structure of American agriculture C) the various functions of American agriculture D) the organization of American agriculture Passage Two Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing

someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms. People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions. 46. By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that ________. A) people can learn to recognize faces B) people have different personalities C) people have difficulty in describing the features of finger prints D) people differ from each other in facial features 47. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of ________. A) telling people apart by how they behave B) typing each other C) telling good people from had people D) recognizing human faces 48. Who most probably knows best how to describe people’s personality? A) The ancient Greek audience B) The movie actors C) Psychologists D) The modern TV audience 49. According to the passage, it is possible for us tell one type of person from another because ________. A) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics B) human fingerprints provide unique information C) people’s behavior can be easily described in words

D) human faces have complex features 50. Which of the following is the major point of the passage? A) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality B) Why it is possible to describe people C) How to get to know people D) How best to recognize people Passage Three In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment. 51. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________. A) should be avoided B) is universal among parents C) sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D) will make him lose interest in learning new things 52. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________. A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

B) should not expect too much of them C) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own D) should create as many learning opportunities as possible 53. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________. A) parents should be strict with their children B) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community C) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone D) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation 54. The word “precept” (Line 4, Para. 3) probably means “________”. A) idea B) punishment C) behavior D) instruction 55. In moral matters, parents should ________. A) observe the rules themselves B) be aware of the marked difference between adults and children C) forbid things which have no foundation in morality D) consistently ensure the security of their children Passage Four The worst thing about television and radio is that they entertain us, saving us the trouble of entertaining ourselves. A hundred years ago, before all these devices were invented, if a person wanted to entertain himself with a song or a piece of music, he would have to do the singing himself or pick up a violin and play it. Now, all he has to do is turn on the radio or TV. As a result, singing and music have declined. Italians used to sing all the time. Now, they only do it in Hollywood movies. Indian movies are mostly a series of songs and dances wrapped around silly stories. As a result, they don't do much singing in Indian villages anymore. Indeed, ever since radio first came to life, there has been a terrible decline in amateur singing throughout the world. There are two reasons for this sad decline: One, human beings are astonishingly lazy. Put a lift in a building, and people would rather take it than climb even two
