二、阅读理解(11-30)

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to iflness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 70 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

13.How has science done something harmful to mankind?

A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.

B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.

Many visitors find the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One' s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you ; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly-looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?"

Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way, or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged : just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

16.Many people who first visit the United States will find that __________.

A. America is a highly developed country

B. American city people seem to be always in a rush

C. the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D. you will find that Americans don' t have much sense of humor

答案：C

18.In the author' s opinion, __________.

A. it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city.

B. people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable.

C. most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities.

20.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will __________.

A. offer his help

B. stop smiling at you

C. help you find the way

D. reply that he is pleased to meet you

答案：A

There are many shops in Singapore where customers still.bargain, although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley, but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson' s is by no means cheap. Besides, in such places we shop in air-condition comfort. For all these, we pay a little extra.

It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo-vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson' s for a little under two dollars. I then went on to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape, design and size, in one of the shops. ! then asked about its price, and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars for it.

"How much can you offer?" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude. I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.

A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is beyond what he can afford, he shrugs his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper. Even if he showed annoyance or surprise, he would expect to be told that if the price was unacceptable, he should try elsewhere.

21.The underlined word "haggling" (Line 2, Para. 1 ) in the text most probably means __________.

A. accepting the prices immediately

B. fixing the right cost for some goods

C. arguing about the price of something

D. paying extra for comfortable shopping

答案：C

22.We can learn from the text that Robinson's is a store which sells__________.

A. expensive goods

B. air-conditioners

C. Czechoslo-vakian goods

D. goods at a bargain price

答案：A

23.The writer asked about the price of a glass butter-dish in Change Alley because he wanted to__________.

A. buy it at a lower price

B. change his dish for something else

C. find out if the shop assistant is polite

D. compare the prices of the dish in two stores

答案：D

24.Which of the following words best describes the feeling of a British customer when "he shrugs his shoulders and walks away" .?

A. Frightened.

B. Worded.

C. Annoyed.

D. Disappointed.

答案：D

25.What would probably happen if a customer does bargain with a shopkeeper in England?

A. The customer would be advised to shop in other stores.

B. The customer would get the goods at a lower price.

C. They would discuss and then reach an agreement.

D. They would quarrel about the price of the goods.

答案：A

It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person' s true ability.

As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in wotwy, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.

A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system, however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained.

The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的 )examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.

A. anxiety-makers

B. reliable and efficient

29.According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to__________.

A. encourage students to read widely

B. teach students how to tackle exams

C. train students to think on their own

四、翻译(51)

51. What makes a home? Love, sympathy and confidence. It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take good care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in the world.

A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is aman. Every civilized person is a social being. No one should live alone. A man may lead a successful and prosperous life, but prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness. Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes.

Your home may be poor and humble, but your duty lies there. You should try to make it cheerful and comfortable. The greater the difficulties are, the richer your reward will be.

答案：何以为家?家就是爱、支持和信任。家，是其成员之间温馨情感共存之处，父母给孩子以呵护，孩子也关注父母的行为。父母和孩子因爱而紧密相连，家成为世上最令人愉悦的地方。

没有爱的家庭，如同没有灵魂的躯体，也就不能称其为“家”。作为社会的一员，没人能独自生存。一个人可能过着成功而富足的生活，但锦衣玉食并不一定就幸福。世界历史上的许多伟人都对家有着深深的眷恋。

也许你的家贫穷而简陋，但这正是你的职责所在。你应该努力使你的家更温馨舒适，面临的困难愈大，你的收获愈多。

It is tree that our mood or the state of mind controls our life. However, modem people are enduring so much pressure from education, career or family that they are more bad-tempered than before. There are often tragic stories in the newspapers about people who went insane or committed suicide. Therefore, it is important to overcome the pressure and keep a good mood.

Many remarkable factors contribute to this argument. First of all, keeping a good mood can help people take a right attitude towards various difficulties and challenges. For example, some people have failed in business for several times and are in deep debt, but they never give up their hope and still believe they have the ability to be successful. Furthermore, keeping a good mood can help people put

disappointment and frustration in the right perspective. Besides, keeping a good mood does good to physical health, which make people far away from many diseases.

All mentioned above tells us that how important it is to keep a good mood. Therefore, there is no denying that we must remind ourselves of keeping a good mood under whatever circumstances. In conclusion, with a good mood, we can live a more interesting and happier life.
