Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage one

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

In the past, a city’s major shopping district was in its downtown area. People could get downtown more easily than they could get to other parts of the city. Before the 1960s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.

As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was something almost impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.

To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers.

Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.

The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll（漫步）from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.

21. The first paragraph tells us that in the past ________.

A) few people drove cars to do shopping

B) it was convenient to do shopping downtown

C) people liked to live in downtown areas

D) street-cars were the main vehicle within a city

22. Why did some businesses move from downtown to the suburbs?

A) They needed more space to build modern large stores.

B) People no more liked to do shopping in city centers.

C) Shopping downtown was difficult due to heavy traffic.

D) Downtown businesses were not as good as before.

23. Nowadays people prefer to go shopping in big malls because malls ________.

A) are close to their homes

B) have much larger walking space

C) can shelter people from sunshine

D) are more pleasant for shoppers

24. The passage is mainly about ________.

A) changes of people’s shopping habits

B) the need for modern shopping centers

C) people’s life in the center of big cities

D) how to run a business in the suburbs

25. We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A) suburban areas are beautiful and pleasant places

B) elevated trains will be built to connect shopping centers

C) only city people visit big shopping centers

D) suburban people will have more shopping centers

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given blood 79 times. I wanted to continue to be a donor（献血者）. But entering a Red Cross clinic（诊所）in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans.

In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six times a year. In China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months.

In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1,083, and so on until the figure reached 10,046 in 1990, 14,016 in 1992 and more than double that the following year. There were 41,037 in 1994, and my statistics stop he re. I?m so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that it?s a way to say, in a real communist spirit, “Brother, I love you”.

In fact, every time I give blood, I think of my blood running in a man or a woman’s veins（血管）. Through donation thirteen Chinese have become my relatives now. Giving blood is like giving birth. Some of these thirteen people may have died without my donation; doesn’t that make it worth becoming a volunteer（志愿者）? What makes me even happier is when I can convince a Chinese friend to come with me and become a donor too.

Things have become easier since May 1, 1996. A Hong Kong donor offered a well-equipped mobile unit to the Red Cross here. The vehicle stands in front of the Xidan Shopping Mall every Wednesday and Sunday morning, from May to the end of October. Donors just need a few minutes. I hope this public example will encourage new donors, and blood donation will become a social trend among the population.

26. When the writer first went to the Red Cross clinic in Beijing to donate his blood he was surprised ____.

A) how he was respected by the people there

B) what a good habit blood donation is

C) that donors only gave 200 ml each time in China

D) that most Chinese people were willing to donate blood

27. The number of voluntary blood donors in Beijing in 1993 is ____.

A) more than 30,000

B) more than 28,000

C) more than 15,000

D) more than 14,000

28. According to the writer, more and more Chinese are giving blood free because _______.

A) they know the advantage of blood donation

B) they have learned how to donate blood

C) they have realized its great significance

D) they know it’s a way to show their generosity

29. The word “that”in Line 3, Para. 4 mostly probably means ____.

A) Becoming a volunteer

B) donating blood

C) having relatives

D) saving people’s life

30. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to ____.

A) explain blood donation is not harmful to the donor’s health

B) convince readers of the importance of blood donation

C) tell us his donation experience in China

D) show people how to give blood free

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Don’t Waste Advertising Dollars

The most important aspect of direct mail marketing（直邮营销）isn’t a creative letter or an attractive offer. It’s a good mailing list of customers. In fact, advertising professionals say that as much as 60 percent of your success in direct mail depends on getting the right names. But before you can find the perfect list, you need to define your ideal customer based on factors such as:

l Geographic location

l Age, sex and income level

l Profession or educational level

l Hobbies

l Size of a company

If you’re trying to sell luxury cars（豪华轿车）to rich people, it’s obviously a waste of money to mail an offer to those who earn $30,000 a year. But that’s just what some companies do. This is truly one area where you can be “penny wise and pound foolish.”Y ou can try to search for mailing lists yourself. But it’s generally best to find a broker（经纪人）who can identify the right lists for your company. Then, make sure the names are readily available. A list may be only 12 months old and has many names and addresses on it. But it can no longer be accurate（精确）because people move, close post office boxes, retire, and make other changes.

31. The phrase “an attractive offer”(Line 2, Para. 1) in the passage probably means ________.

A) valuable products

B) direct mail marketing

C) a good mailing list

D) something cheap

32. What is considered most important in direct mail marketing?

A) Writing a friendly letter.

B) Getting the right names.

C) Giving a low price.

D) Having a list of customers.

33. What is an ideal customer (Line 4, Para. 1) according to the passage?

A) One who will buy your products or service.

B) One who will buy a luxury car.

C) One who is richer than others.

D) One who is not very poor.

34. If a man is “penny wise and pound foolish”(Line 3, Para. 2), people think he is ________.

A) a person who saves up every bit of money

B) a person who is only capable of doing small things

C) a person who is sometimes clever and sometimes foolish

D) a person who can deal with different kinds of situations

35. It’s very important that you can get in touch with the names on the list, because ________.

A) people are always changing

B) people move frequently

C) mailing lists are very expensive

D) mailing lists are seldom accurate

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

The laptop computer（便携式电脑）is popular all over the world because it is small enough for us to put on the upper part of our legs. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These computers connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, they also connect students to their classmates.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers, the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use e–mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast–food restaurant or under the trees---anywhere at all.

At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the students use computers, either desktop （台式）or laptop, but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places. Just as one of the Westlake teachers said, “Here we are in the middle of the city and we’re giving students a window on the world.”

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I?m short of money myself.”In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don?t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (说谎者) than men, particularly when telling “a white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention (意图)of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

Research has also been done into the way people?s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I were somewhere else now.”

26. This passage tells us that telling lies is ___________.

A) often necessary in order to avoid being defeated

B) quite bad because people ought to be honest

D) women tell fewer lies than men do

28. A “white lie” means a lie that ___________.

A) is told with a good intention

B) is quite unbelievable

D) often has a bad purpose

29. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling lies that______.

A) will allow them to gain some benefits

30. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.

A) there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying

B) people?s behaviors s ometimes can tell us they are lying

C) people often repeat what they are saying when telling a lie

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Unemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks--either temporarily(暂时) laid off or permanently forced to retire.

Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45, to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that, to some extent, this age is the prime time for one?s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation?s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the age line, a more effective way might emerge. Today, only 3% of school-leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin full-time employment at a later age, more job opportunities will be created.

Most importantly, we should not be satisfied merely to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather, we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time-by keeping the skilled adults and accepting the well-educated young.

31. Forcing middle-aged persons to retire might cause______.

A) the loss of valuable resources

B) shortage of the work force

C) elderly people to feel upset

D) families to be unstable

A) Young people should work harder in order to go to college.

B) Colleges should be open to more high school-leavers.

C) The old should be allowed to work as long as they want to.

D) Policy makers should create more job opportunities.

34. What is the writer?s attitude towards the described employment situation? __

A) Concerned B) Hopeless C) Doubted D) Satisfied

35. The best title for this passage might be “_______”

A) How to Solve Unemployment Problem?

B) Should People Be Forced to Retire?

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I?m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don?t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (说谎者) than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

For questions 1 - 7, mark A. Y, B. N and C.

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG

Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $25 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit（贸易逆差）is $15 billion. Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import
