Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: ' I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.' No one could have had a more Productive old age. She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls ('We came in bunches, like radishes.') At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Noses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia

and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in l927. (91)Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. "I think real hard till I think of something real Pretty and then I paint it." she said. 21.which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Grandma Moses: A biographical Sketch B.

A. nursing B. painting C. embroidering D. farming 25.The word “spotted” could best replaced by _____. A. speckled B. featured C. noticed D. damaged Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on he following passage. Cars of 2050 will travel the nation's highways in never-before-dreamed-of safety, comfort, and convenience. These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels. Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans. The car without wheels has been called a "flying car", and, in a sense, that's just what it is: however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. (92)On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheelless vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road and even over smooth water! The inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, and vehicle regulation. 26. The author believes that cars of the future _____. A. will be replaced by airplanes B. will have wheels unlike those of today C. will use columns of air instead of wheels D. will use wheels without tires 27. Which of the following is true concerning the new car? A. It doesn’t need fuel any more B. It will be influenced by weather conditions. C. No family garage is needed any longer. D. The speed of a flying car will be comparable to that of a airplane. 28. The car without wheels has been called a "flying car" because_____. A. it travels a few inches above the ground B. it can fly as a plane does C. it moves at a very high speed D. It can travel over smooth water 29. Where is a wheelless car LEAST fit to travel?

A. Over soft land. B. Over rough country roads. C. Over highways. D. Over waterfalls. 30.Wheelless cars will_____. A. eliminate all traffic problems B. create new traffic problems C. eliminate parking problems D. both A and C Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Imagine one day reading that you had been a subject in a risky science experiment without knowing it. At school, you had been fed cereal laced with radioactive chemicals so scientists could learn more about the digestive system. Because the food was radioactive, scientists could easily trace its path through the body. Scientists now know that exposure to large amount of radiation can cause cancer, a group of diseases in which bodily cells grow wildly out of control. Some people who were part of the radiation studies later developed cancer and blamed the radiation for causing the cancer. Others are worried the radiation will some day make them sick. Some doctors say that, in many cases, such fears are unjustified because the radiation doses used in the experiments were too small to cause harm. They also say that since dangers of radiation were less well understood then than they are now, even researchers who used high doses of radiation didn't do anything wrong. (93) Some critics claim that no excuse is acceptable for not informing subjects about the nature of an experiment and giving them a chance to refuse to participate. Today, government rules require such informed agreement whenever a study uses people. 31.The passage is mainly about ______. A. what kind of experiment cannot be done on people B. whether it is moral to experiment on people without them know C. how radiation studies are conducted D. what result can be produced in a radioactive experiment 32.The word "laced" in paragraph 1 most likely means _____. A. confused B. surrounded C. mixed D. covered

When the danger of radiation had not been proved, high doses of radiation were acceptable. C. Most cancers are caused by radiation. D. Radioactive chemicals were once used to cure diseases with the digestive system. 34.Today, government rules _____. A. demand to stop all experiments harmful to people B. prohibit all tests related to human beings C. disapprove of experiments with uncertain results D. require to protect people's right not to be tested without permission 35The author's attitude towards the government decision may be described as _____. A. indifferent B. favorable C. critical D. dubious Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists.It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited.To feed a large population，inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively.Thus，each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population.(94)Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports，roads and railways，which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. One of the difficulties in carrying out a world－wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food，space and natural resources， it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate， whatever the consequences may be.In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex.A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it
