Human environmental interference has halted the approach of a new ice age and will mean a warmer global(全球的)climate, a local researcher has said. Among the possible consequences,

Professor David G. Bridge believes, will be a shrinking of the Great Lakes and inland waters, a northward shift of the agricultural belt into Canada, and a melting of glacial(冰川的)ice that could raise ocean levels. A future increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide, caused by the burning of coal, oil and gas, will be an overwhelming(无法抵抗的)weather influence. The effect of this use of fossil fuels will be a driver Midwest climate with drastic(剧烈的)effects on agriculture, commerce, and recreation. ”After overpopulation and the shortage of food, this is probably the most serious problem mankind faces.” Professor Bridges said.

Passage 2

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just now a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

35. Seeing and perceiving are___________.

A. the same action

B. two separate actions

C. two actions carried on entirely by eyes

D. several actions that take place different times

36. People perceive different things about the same scene because____________.

B. they cannot agree about things

C. some have better eyesight

D. none of these

37. Psychologists study perception by _________.

A. setting up many experiments

B. looking out of windows

C. asking each other what they are

D. studying people’s eyes

38. The author implies that__________.

A. psychologists do not yet know how people see

B. the best experiments are those in which all factors are controlled

C. the study of perception is going on now.

D. perception does not involve psychological factors

39. The best title for this passage is ________.

A. How We See

B. What Psychologists Perceive

C. Learning about Our Minds through Science

D. How to Become Experimental Psychologists

Passage 3

A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.

These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen.

40. What has the recent research into children’s reading shown?

A. Children begin to read very fast at an early age.

B. Children examine in detail what they read at school.

C. Children can read clearly in primary school.

D. Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven.

41. If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we’ll find that ____________.

A. girls are more interested in fiction than boys

B. girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boys

C. boys read much more than girls

D. boys take no interest in fiction

42. It can be inferred from the passage that _______________.

A. boys change their reading tastes more often than girls

B. people usually do not change their reading tastes more often than girls

C. boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines

D. People have no define reading tastes

Passage 4

During the Progressive Movement, women began to play an increasingly active role in American politics. Women had long been interested in reform movements, but the number of women active in political affairs had been very limited. Now the educated, middle-class woman began to grow tired of the passive role that men had assigned to her. Her own interests as a mother were brought into play by her concern over the education and welfare of her children, the city in which they lived, and such municipal facilities(市政设施)as playgrounds, schools and parks. Her interests as a consumer were alerted(使…警觉)by political struggles over tariffs(关税), taxes, monopolies(垄断), and dishonesty in government. But more important than her interests were her sympathies, for she was shocked by the almost daily revelations(揭露,揭示)about the terrible working conditions in the mills and mines of the country and the crowded conditions in which poor people lived in cities. Women began to develop their heroines of charitable(慈善的)activity, like Jane Addams, the founder of the famous social settlement at Hull House in Chicago, and also to feel more strongly about their own political rights. Believing that they were far better equipped than men to introduce into politics the note of honesty and human concern that America seemed to need so badly, women in increasing numbers began to demand the right to vote. By 1914 they had that right in eleven states, and their efforts were crowned with final success in the Nineteenth Amendment(修正案)to the Constitution(宪法),which was ratified(通过)in 1920.

43. It can be inferred from the passage that, before the Progressive Movement, educated women of the middle class were expected to ____________.

A. vote on municipal issues only

B. pay a tax in order to vote

C. stay out of politics

D. improve condition in mills and mines

44. The best title for this passage would be__________.

A. The Progressive Movement

B. America Before 1920

C. Women and American Politics

D. Jane Addams and Hull House

45. The Nineteenth Amendment is apparently concerned with__________.

A. charity for poor people

B. voting rights for women

C. education for women

D. tolerable working conditions

IV. Fill in the blanks with the words or expressions given below. Make changes where necessary. (10’)

1.They____________ what is going on in the art world.

2.The newspaper report ______________ the account on the radio.

3.Who is to ____________ me when I’m old?

10.We shall have to ___________ the car; we can’t afford it.

V. Translate the following sentences. (10’)

1. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

2. The nuclear family usually consists of two parents (mother and father) and their children.

3. As a matter of fact, milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion.

4. The fact that a Government Ministry in Great Britain called the Department of Environment has been created shows how important the issue is considered to be.

5. He used to love to tell the story of the “Keeper of the Spring, ” a quiet dweller who lived high above an Austrian village along the eastern slope of the Alps.
