For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by writing the corresponding letter. Passage One Farmers in many parts of the United States are facing very severe water shortages this summer. The extremely hot, dry weather has killed many crops. Now with no crops to hold the soil, farmers face the threat of erosion. Scientists say that under normal conditions erosion claims about five thousand million tons of top soil each year in the United States. Wind causes about one third of that loss. Heavy rains cause the rest. As we have said, weather is responsible for much soil erosion, but farming methods

are mostly to blame. Most farmers break up the soil and turn it over before planting their crops. Research has shown, however, this method makes it easier for erosion to take place. Today some farmers in the United States are changing to low-erosion farming methods. Using a method called no-till farming, the soil is never loosened or turned over. The plant waste left on top of the ground helps hold soil in place. It prevents wind and rain from eroding the soil. Farmers who have used the no-till method for two or three years say this soil has improved. They say it contains more earthworms which keep the soil loose, and they say the soil holds water better. No-till equipment can cost more than traditional farm machinery, but the total cost of working the farm is less. Mott Swanson has a farm in the northwest state of Washington. The farm contains more than four hundred eighty hectares. Mr. Swanson began using the no-till method in 1974. He says he has invested less money in his farm since then than if he had continued to farm the traditional way. Soil erosion is a natural activity. It can never be completely halted. However, no-till farming is one way to lessen its effects. 61. ____________ more responsible for soil erosion. A. Weather is C. Wind is B. Farming methods are D. Water shortages are 62. The main idea of Paragraph 4 is ___________. A. the positive result of no-till farming B. the comparison of the no-till method with traditional farming methods C. the comparison of the cost of no-till farming with traditional farming D. the reason for popularity of no-till farming methods 63. We can infer that _____________. A. soil erosion can finally be controlled B. soil erosion has forced some farmers out of business C. crops help lessen the effects of soil erosion D. usually heavy rains cause two thirds of top soil loss in the U.S. each year 64. The "no-till" farming is a method characterized by ____________. A. lowering erosion C. cutting plants 65. Which of the following is true? B. increasing crops D. spreading fertilizer A. Earthworms which loosen the soil help cause the soil erosion. B. The plant waste in the ground helps hold soil out of place. C. Crops are no longer planted in the loosened soil in most of the U.S.A. D. The plant waste left on top of the ground helps prevent soil erosion. Passage Two Between now and the end of the century, there will be many exciting developments and also many difficult problems to deal with. Perhaps the most urgent problem is to

provide enough food. The world’s population is expected to reach over 6,000 million by the year 2000, but already scientists have produced new and better varieties of wheat and rice and animals. They have also been experimenting with techniques of cultivating plants by using mixtures of chemical compounds and water only, and then there will be no need for ordinary soil. Another problem which the world will face is to get rid of refuse. One solution is to burn refuse at very high temperatures in incinerators. A development of this,which may prove very useful in the future, is to use these incinerators to generate steam power. In fact, any new source of energy will be very welcome, as there is already a shortage of petroleum. To solve the energy problem, scientists will probably also try to make more use of solar energy. The possible effects of some scientific fields, such as lasers and cryogenics, are difficult to imagine and both already have a number of uses. The super-cooling effects of the cryogenics which convert liquid helium and other gases into "super-fluids" and metals into "superconductors" making them non-resistant to electricity, could change the world in a number of ways. The laser, with its beam of strong light, can drill a hole in a diamond, and yet can be so well controlled that it can be used in delicate eye operations. The question is whether it will be most used for peaceful purposes or as a deadly weapon. But perhaps the most remarkable developments will occur in space flight. One of the difficulties in the past has been the high cost, but now the space shuttle is being developed, and can be used a large number of times instead of only once. Already man had been to the moon. Perhaps by the end of the century he will have had a close-up view of Venus or Mars. 66. According to the passage, to solve the problem of food shortage, scientists have succeeded in _________. A. controlling the world’s population growth B. increasing the output of wheat and rice and breeding of animals C. producing new and better varieties of wheat, rice and animals D. cultivating plants without ordinary soil 67. What use has been suggested of refuse according to the passage? A. To produce petroleum out of it. B. To make up for the shortage of food supplies. C. To use it to generate steam power. D. To use it as fuel for incinerators. 68. What can be found in the passage about the properties of superconductors? A. They are non-resistant to electricity. B. They can convert liquid helium into "super-fluids". C. They can change the world in a number of ways. D. They can drill a hole in a diamond. 69. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________. A. the writer feels sure that such high-tech as laser will be used for peaceful

purposes B. the writer believes that laser can be used in delicate operations C. the writer hopes that laser can be used as a deadly weapon D. the writer is deeply concerned about the future use of laser 70. According to the passage, what used to be a problem in the development of space shuttle? A. High-tech C. Lack of public support Passage Three B. High cost D. Lack of expert astronauts The term biological clock is applied to the means by which living things adjust their activity patterns, without any obvious cue, to the time of day, or the month, or the year. The biological clocks seem to be beautifully adapted to the needs of living things. They are affected but little, if at all, by drugs, chemicals, or wide temperature differences — factors which may alter substantially the rates of all ordinary processes of the body. The nature of the biological clocks’ mechanism is still a mystery. Two quite different theories have been advanced to account for them. According to the first of these theories, each individual contains its own independent timing system. This is believed to have evolved, aided by natural selection, as an adaptation to the rhythmic environment. It has now become independent of the environment. According to this view, the clocks are not perfect timers. They require regular corrections by the natural light, tide cycles and the changing lengths of the day throughout the year. The other theory holds that living things react continuously to their rhythmic physical environment. The setting of their biological clocks, therefore, involves a constant adjustment to subtle environmental forces. If this view is correct, the basic living clocks are potentially perfect timers. Biological clocks appear to be everywhere in living things — even in individual cells or parts of cells. But the search for the specific timing system has been futile thus far. Despite the careful study of many rhythmic phenomena and even of detailed chemical variations between cells, there is no evidence that any one of them is the clock-timer itself. Not only has no independent timing system ever been discovered, but there has not yet been even a plausible guess as to its nature. 71. “Biological clock” has all the following features EXCEPT that ____________. A. living things adapt their activity patterns to the physical time due to the biological clocks B. the nature of the mechanism of the biological clock remains mysterious C. the biological clocks are affected greatly by drugs or chemicals D. things 72. Which of the following statements could be the first possible theory to describe the biological clocks have an excellent adaptation to the needs of living the biological clocks’ mechanism?

A. An individual living thing has its own independent timing system. B. Each individual living thing’s timing system is an adaptation to natural selection. C. The setting of the living things’ biological clocks involves a casual adjustment to the subtle environmental forces. D. Each individual living thing’s timing system has much to do with the environment. 73. Biological clocks are imperfect timers in that they require regular corrections by ___________. A. the natural light C. the changing lengths of the day throughout the year D. all the above B. tide cycles 74. The basic living biological clocks are potentially perfect timer in that _____________. A. they are seldom affected by wide temperature differences B. they are affected but little by factors which may alter greatly the rates of all ordinary process of the body C. living things and biological clocks, seeming to exist everywhere in living things, react constantly to their physical environment D. biological clocks have evolved with the help of natural selection 75. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Mysterious Biological Clocks C. Independent Biological Clocks B. Perfect Timers D. Natural Selection Passage Four The word conservation has a thrifty(节俭) meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others. Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today. For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table(地下水位) in the ground
