The world population is increasing 21 the rate of 139 people every minute, or more than seventy million more human beings every year. If the current rate of 22 continues, the present world population of four point two billion will double 23 the end of this century. Many demographers say that the world food supply cannot keep pace 24 the population. They are 25 “localized famines” in the developing countries, beginning in the next decade. Others are less 26 . They look 27 the sea to supply food for the 28 , or point out the successes of new high yield strains of wheat and rice. The world population 29 grow very slowly. For many 30 the birth rate held only a slim margin over the death rate. Then came the 31 of modern medicine. Medical science found cures for diseases that once held population 32 check.

Reading Comprehension (40%) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Read each passage carefully and decide on the best answer. Then write the answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage One One of the good things for men in women’s liberation is that men no longer have to pay women the old-fashioned courtesies. In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn’t need help getting in and out of cars. “Women get in and out of cars twenty times a day with babies and dogs. Surely they can get out by themselves at night just as easily.” She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk. “Historically the man walked on the inside so he caught the garbage thrown out of a window. Today a man is supposed to walk on the outside. A man should walk where he wants to. So should a woman. If, out of love and respect, he actually wants to take the blows, he should walk on the inside —— because that’s where attackers are all hiding these days.” As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women’s liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies. It is usually easier to follow rules of social behavior than to depend on one’s own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way according to my wife. It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it quite naturally since it happened to be the chair

I wanted to sit in. “Well”, my wife said when the hostess had gone. “You did it again.” “Did what?” I asked, utterly confused. “Took the chair.” Actually, since I’d walked through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first after all. Also it has always been my custom to get in a car first and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy. I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car and then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat. 41. It can be concluded from the passage that ______. A. men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk B. women are becoming more capable than before C. in women’s liberation men are also liberated D. it’s safe to break rules of social behavior 42. The author was “utterly confused” because he ______. A. took the chair out of habit B. was trying to be polite C. was slow in understanding D. had forgotten what he did 43. He took the chair for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ______. A. he got to the chair first B. he happened to like the seat C. his wife ordered him to do so D. he’d walked ahead of his wife 44. The author always gets in a car before a woman because he ______. A. wants to protect her B. doesn’t need to help her C. chooses to be impolite to her D. fears attacks on him 45. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? A. Manners ought to be thrown away altogether. B. In manners one should follow his own judgment. C. Women no longer need to be helped in public. D. Men are not expected to be courteous to women. Passage Two Theodore Dreiser is old —— he is very, very old. I do not know how many years he has lived, perhaps forty, perhaps fifty, but he is very old. Something gray and bleak and hurtful, that has been in the world perhaps forever, is personified in him. When Dreiser is gone men shall write books, many of them, and in the books they shall write there will be so many of the qualities Dreiser lacks. The new, the younger men shall have a sense of humor, and everyone knows Dreiser has no sense of humor.

More than that, American prose writers shall have grace, lightness of touch, a dream of beauty breaking through the husks of life. O, those who follow him shall have many things that Dreiser does not have. That is a part of the wonder and beauty of Theodore Dreiser, the things that others shall have because of him. Long ago, when he was editor of the Delineator, Dreiser went one day, with a woman friend, to visit an orphan asylum. The woman once told me the story of that afternoon in the big, ugly gray building, folding and refolding his pocket-handkerchief and watching the children-all in their little uniforms, trooping in. “The tears ran down his cheeks and he shook his head”, the woman said, and that is a real picture of Theodore Dreiser. He is old in spirit and he does not know what to do with life, so he tells about it as he sees it, simply and honestly. The tears run down his cheeks and he folds and refolds the pocket-handkerchief and shakes his head. Heavy, heavy, the feet of Theodore. How easy to pick some of his books to pieces, to laugh at him for so much of his heavy prose. The feet of Theodore are making a path, the heavy brutal feet. They are tramping through the wilderness of lies, making a path. Presently the path will be a street, with great arches overhead and delicately carved spires piercing the sky. Along the street will run children, shouting,“Look at me. See what I and my fellows of the new day have done”-forgetting the heavy feet of Dreiser. The followers of the ink-pots, the prose writers in America who follow Dreiser, will have much to do that has never done. Their road is long but, because of him, those who follow will never have to face the road through the wilderness of Puritan denial, the road that Dreiser faced alone. Heavy, heavy, hangs over thy head, Fine, or superfine? 46. This passage is to ______. A. criticize Theodore Dreiser B. praise Theodore Dreiser C. defend Theodore Dreiser D. ridicule Theodore Dreiser 47. “Heavy, heavy, the feet of Theodore.” It means ______. A. Theodore Dreiser was very, very old B. Theodore Dreiser was old in spirit C. Theodore Dreiser was tramping through the wilderness D. the tone in Theodore Dreiser’s works was very heavy 48. What happened when Dreiser went to an orphan asylum one day? A. He burst into tears. B. He felt pity for the children there. C. He shook his head. D. All of the above. 49. What is the meaning of “the followers of the ink-pots”? A. People who follow Theodore Dreiser.
