                  A

 The results of the US/NATO bombing of Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do it. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.

First of all, the aim of the bombing was to prevent human suffering in Kosovo. Today ,after many days of frequent bombing ,that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes. Not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize by now how wrong they were when they were when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.

So,what's left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Maccdonia. It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族) will not give up on Kosovo.

I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now. And it doesn't frighten me any more. I don't turn to the shelter( 避难所 ) at the sound of warning. It's though of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed( 流血事件) in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?

56. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.

B. The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosuvo.

C. The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.

D. The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.

57. What worries the writer most.

A. The continuous bombing.

B. The coming of ground troops.

C. The sound of bomb warning.

D. The idea of ground troops.

58. What's the writer's attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?

A. It is the US/NTAO's duty to defend Kosovo.

B. It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.

C. The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.

D. The bombing can solve the problem on Kosovo.

59. The underlined sentence means ______.

A. the war in Vietnam wasn't serious at all

B. the War in Vietnam was different form that in Kosovo

C. the US will send more troops to Kosovo than to Vietnam

D. ground troops to Kosovo will cause an even greater disaster

B

Telecommuting—substituting the computer for the trip to the job ----- has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work..

  For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child-care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high- concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour congestion and improve air quality.

  But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.

  Many workers are seduced by rosy-illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.

  These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.

  Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employee’s situation, not the availability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement.

  That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.

60.What is the main subject of the passage ?

A.    Business management policies

B.    Driving to work

C.    Extending the workplace by means of computers

D.   Computers for child-care purposes

61. Which of the following is not mentioned as a problem for office employees?

A.    Being restricted to the office

B.    Incurring expenses for lunches and clothing

C. Taking care of sick children

D. Driving in heavy traffic

62.  Which of the following is not mentioned as a problem for employers that is potentially solved by telecommuting?

a)     Employees’ lateness for work

b)     Employees’ absence from work

c)     Employees’ need for time alone to work intensively

d)     Employees’ conflicts with second jobs

63.  Which of the following does the author mention as a possible disadvantage of telecommuting?

a)     Small children cannot understand the boundaries of work and play

b)     Computer technology is not advanced enough to accommodate the needs of every situation.

c)     Electrical malfunctions can destroy a project.

d)     The worker often does not have all the needed resources at home.

64.  Which of the following is an example of telecommuting as described in the passage?

a)     A scientist in a laboratory developing plans for a space station

b)     A technical writer sending via computer documents created at home

c)     A computer technician repairing an office computer network

d)     A teacher directing computer-assisted learning in a private school.

 

                  C

These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as 'white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.

When he got married. Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alt'.

 

65.  What does the case of Alfred Bloggs illustrate?

(a) That people often care more about the status of a job than the salary.

(b) That 'white-collar workers' usually wear a suit to go to work.

(c) That manual workers prefer to keep their job a secret.

(d) That office workers usually earn less than manual workers.

66. What did Alfred Bloggs do for over two years?

(a) He told his wife he worked for the Corporation, when in fact he did not.

(b) He disguised himself as a dustman,

(c) He led a double life-

(d) He earned twice as much as he used to.

67. Why did Alfred Bloggs consider wearing a suit all day and being called 'Mr. Bloggs' so important?

(a) His new job is worth more than his previous one in every respect.

(b) He will no longer need a shower before returning home from work.

(c) He can now tell his wife about his previous job without embarrassment.

(d) He feels that other people will respect him more.

The temperature of the Sun is over 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center. The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the Sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed.

Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Sun's atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins.

The Sun's outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of the Sun that can be seen during an eclipse such as the one in February 1979. At any other I me. the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the Sun's rays.

The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full Moon. Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse. The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike rays near the Sun's north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun's equator.

  The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds and

reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit. The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets. By the time the Sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.

68. Matter on the Sun can exist only in the form of gas because of the Sun's

(A) size (B) age (C) location (D) temperature

69.. With what topic is the second paragraph mainly concerned?

(A) How the Sun evolved (B) The structure of the Sun

(C) Why scientists study the Sun (D) The distance of the Sun from the planets

70. All of the following are parts of the Sun's atmosphere EXCEPT the

(A) corona (B) chromosphere (C) photosphere (D) core

71. The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following?

(A) The remaining layers of the Sun .

(B) The evolution of the Sun to its present form

(C) The eclipse of February 1979

(D) The scientists who study astronomy

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of peoples, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season,the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild-and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.

72. Which of the following assumptions about early humans is expressed in the passage?

(A) They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.

(B) They thought there was no need to cultivate crops.

(C) They did not enjoy the study of botany.

(D) They placed great importance on the ownership of property.

73. In the passage, what is the author's purpose in mentioning "a rose, an apple, or an orchid"?

(A) To make the passage more poetic

(B) To cite examples of plants that are attractive

(C) To give botanical examples that all readers will recognize

(D) To illustrate the diversity of botanical life

74. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?

(A) The invention of agricultural implements and machinery

(B) The development of a system of names for plants

(C) The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted

(D) The changing diets of early humans

75. The relationship between botany and agriculture is similar to the relationship between zoology (the study of animals) and

(A) deer hunting

(B) bird watching

(C) sheep raising

(D) horseback riding

Our minister is always collecting money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

Our minister is always collecting money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.

  One night, however, our minister woke up with a start: the clocks was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o’clock, but the bell struck 13 times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the minister went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torch-night, he saw a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, the owner of the city shop.

“Whatever are you doing up here Bill?” asked the minister in surprise.

“I’m trying to repair the bell,” answered Bill. “I’ve been coming up here night and after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.”

“You certainly did give me a surprise!” Said the minister, “You’ve probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I’m glad the bell is working again.”

“That’s the trouble, minister,” answered Bill, “It’s working all right, but I’m afraid that at one o’clock it will strike thirteen times and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

“We’ll get used to that, Bill,” said the minister, “13 is not as good as one, but it’s better than nothing. Wow let’s go downstairs and have a cup of tea.”

  When I learned the news that our government would carry out the strategy of large-scale development of West China from today’s newspaper and TV program, I felt very excited. All the people in West China has been longing for it for quite a long time. As we all know, China has a history of five thousand years. And ore ancestors created the old Chinese civilization here. However, Because of the severe damage of the forests in West China during these years, the weather conditions and natural environment are becoming worse and worse. Much of the Western part has become desert. It is lacking in water and green trees. West China is N undeveloped area, but it is vast in area and rich in all kinds of resources. A new government has been designed to help it develop fast. We can say that the future of West China is bright. My greatest wish is to enter Qinghua University and join in the construction of West China after graduation. I’ determined to make contribution to the development of West China.
