(A)

Because of the land shortage in Hong Kong and gradual rise in the population, the government has come up with a very bold housing program to provide flats for the lower income group. Land shortage is really a big problem. It is, therefore, impossible to build low-cost houses. Most of these flats built by the government are high rise flats, some rising to more than twenty storeys. Slums in the urban areas have been cleared and some of these lots have been taken up by the Housing Board to build flats.

Who are the people who live in these flats? They are mainly people of middle and lower income groups who cannot afford to buy private houses. The only way for the government is to build flats and sell or rent them out at reduced prices in order to solve their problem.

Generally the area where flats are built is well served by shops, playgrounds, shopping centers and schools. People do not have to travel far for their daily needs. Bus services run right through some of the housing areas and they provide an efficient means of transportation.

56. The government’s aim is ________.

A. to provide free flats for poorer people

B. to build more low-cost houses

C. to build houses and flats for the higher income group

D. to make good use of land which is limited to provide flats for the lower income group

57. Multi storey flats are preferred _________.

A. because land is suitable for building tall flats

B. because they sell at better prices

C. because people prefer living in tall flats

D. because they make good use of land which is limited

58 Most of these flats are _______.

A. within city limits B. near industrial areas

C. on the suburbs of the city D. inside the business districts

59. People who live in government flats are ______.

A. the very rich B. the middle and lower income groups

C. the servants D. the very poor

60. The slums have been cleared _______.

A. to make way for new shopping centers

B. and new shop-houses are built

C. to make way for flats

D. and some of these sites have been used for building flats.

(B)

With a new Palestinian(巴勒斯坦) prime minister in place on April 23, the US has seen a new chance to put into place its “ road map” for peace. By May 5, the Palestinian had accepted the plan, but Israel(以色列)still wanted major changes to be made.

The fighting between the two states began in September 2000. Israel and Palestine have fought against each other since Israel created its own states in 1948. When Israel won the 1967 war, it gained control of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. Since then, the Palestinians have demanded these three areas be part of their state.

Mahmoud Abbas became Palestine’s new prime minister after Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat was forced to agree to share his power.

The plan was written last December by the US, the United Nations, the European Union, and Russia. It included three steps.

lThe first step is to stop the violence(暴力)on both sides.

lThe second step calls for an international conference that draws up the creation of a Palestinian state.

lThe final step aims for a lasting agreement between Israel and Palestine, and the support of neighboring Arab states.

The Palestinians say that the two sides should be taking steps at the same time.

But Israel demands the first step must be an end to Palestinian violence.

In the face of such disagreement, many analysts don’t believe the plan can ensure a peaceful future in the Middle East.

61. The text is mainly about _______.

A.the fighting between Israel and Palestine

B.the long road for Israel and Palestine to achieve peace

C.a new chance and plan for peace in the Middle East

D.international efforts to bring peace to the Middle East

62. What is the root of the conflicts(冲突)between Israel and Palestine?

A.Different beliefs Israel and Palestinians have.

B.The land Israelis live on today once belonged to Palestinians.

C.The founding of Israel.

D.Disagreement on how to bring about peace.

63. Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Israel and Palestine haven’t taken steps to work for peace at the same time.

B.A new leader in Palestine has brought new hope.

C.The “ road map” will settle the disagreement between Israel and Palestine.

D.Israel and Palestine have different views about the new plan.

64. Which side do you think the writer is on?

A. Israel’s B. Palestine’s C. Analysts’ D. None of them

(C)

The people in the room were tense. Five young engineers were sitting with their boss. They were trying to settle something about where to set up an important new plant.

Suddenly one of the young engineers said what he thought was a good way of dealing with the problem. What he had to say met with an uncomfortable silence. The boss then laughingly pointed out that the same suggestion had been made and rejected some minutes before.

The incident seemed funny at the time. But several months later it didn’t. After the work had been successfully finished, most of the engineers who had worked on it were promoted. But the young man who had made a fool of himself at the meeting was passed over.

What had happened? The young engineer was sure that he had never heard the suggestion made and rejected. He was right. He was a victim of a bad listening habit that he didn’t know he had. Bad listening habits can hurt you a lot in your daily living. Much of your success, both in your work and social life, is related to how you listen. A number of major industries and more than twenty leading colleges have become very concerned about our bad listening habits. They have set up listening clinics and courses to find out what is wrong----and what to do about it.

65. What does the word “rejected” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Passed through B. Passed away C. Refused D. Delayed

66. Which of the following is NOT the young man’s attitude(态度)towards the trouble that happened to him?

A.He wanted to improved his listening habit.

B.He didn’t realize that he had a bad listening habit.

C.He thought what he had done was right.

D.He thought nobody had made the same suggestion as he did.

67. The purpose of the text is to show that ________.

A.the young man didn’t accept suggestions made by others

B.much of your success is related to how well you listen

C.much of your success is related to how well you listen to your boss

D.the young man’s insistence on his own ideas led to his failure

68. From the text we can get the conclusion(结论)that_______.

A.the young man’s boss was not a good leader

B.the boss didn’t like the young man from the very beginning

C.it was all because of the young man’s bad listening habit that he failed to be promoted

D.the young man made the same suggestion as had already been accepted

(D)

Dancing that Tells a Story-ballet

There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words. It can be told in pictures. It can be told in music. It can be acted out. Or it can be told by still another way---- by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called a ballet.

The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing or speaking.

The dancers in the picture are telling the story of Sleeping Beauty. The music for this famous ballet was written by the Russian composer Tschaikowsky. The movements of its dancers were worked out by the French ballet master Petipa.

A ballet is a work (of art) just a beautiful picture is. The person who plans a ballet is an artist. So is each dancer.

Sometimes ballet is called toe dancing. It is true that in some ballets the dancers do dance on their toes. But a great deal of the dancing in ballets is not toe dancing. Toe dancing is used to give the idea of lightness and airiness. It is never put into a ballet unless it fits the story.

Back in the days of ancient Greece and Rome there were dances that told stories of the gods. Even longer ago in Egypt there were dances that told stories of the planets. But the ballet of today had its beginnings about 600 years ago. It began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulers of Italy. Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the French court. The French king Louis XIV founded a ballet school.

On a ballet program today there are often some French words. The names of many ballets are French. But there may be other French words, too. A part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called a pas de deux. Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet.

Later the rulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered a great deal of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France. They founded a ballet school. Soon Russia was the leader in ballet.

Today there are many ballet companies. All opera companies, too, have ballets dancers, for ballets are a part of many operas. No one country now leads in ballet.

Ballet is not easy to learn. A boy or girl who wishes to be a ballet dancer has to begin going to a ballet school very early. Some begin when they are only three or four. All the parts in a ballet used to be danced by men. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer.

69. There are ____ ways of telling a story referred to in the passage.

A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6

70. Ballet is called toe dancing because ________.

A.there is a great deal of toe dancing in every ballet

B.in some ballets toe dancing is used to fit the story

C.it always tells a story by toe movements

D.the word ballet means “ toe” in French

71. Ballet of today can date back as early as _______.

A.the days of ancient Greece and Rome

B.days before ancient Greece and Rome

C.about 600 years ago

D.the time when Louis XIV was in power

72. _____ never acted as the leader in the history of ballet.

A. France B. Russia C. Italy D. Egypt

(E)

Believe it or not, optical illusion can cut highway accident. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced car accidents on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.

Bent stripes, called chevrons painted on the roads made drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japanese success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway accidents. High speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all deadly traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will carry out its tests on areas where speedrelated dangers are the greatest-culver, exist slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than really are, but also make a road appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of the traffic accidents.

73. The text mainly discusses__________.

A.a new way of highway speed control

B.a new way of painting highways

C.a new way of training drivers

D.the uses of optical illusion

74. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that _______.

A.they should keep distances from other cars

B.they are driving in the wrong way

C.they should slow down their speed

D.they are close to the speed limit

75. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that it ______.

A.can keep drivers awake

B.can cut road accidents in half

C.will have a longer effect on drivers

D.will look more attractive

76. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______.

A.try out the Japanese method in certain areas

B.change the road signs across the country

C.replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons

D.repeat the Japanese road patterns

(F)

As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the United States and Canada, is now without any living things.

Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “ poisons” killing large number of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms to be effects of pollution are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.

Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources---sewage and industrial waste. As more detergent(洗洁精) is used in the home, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and lakes from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead.

So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.

77. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “waterproof” in the third paragraph?

A. Full of water B. Not allowing water to go through

C. Covered with water D. Cleaned by water

78. According to the text, the water which is harmful comes from the following EXCEPT ___.

A. industrial waste B. chemicals C. water for cleaning D. life in water

79 The way to stop water pollution is _______.

A.to realize the serious situation clearly

B.to put oxygen into the river

C.to make the waste materials harmless

D.to make special room in the sea for our rubbish

80.This text is mainly about_____.

A.the fact that water is very important in our daily life

B.the fact that water is polluted very seriously

C.water pollution and the way of getting rid of it

D.the life in the water

The Importance of Learning English

The English language has now become an international language because it is used by most of the countries in the world.

If we want to do business with foreigners, we have to learn English, for most of them speak and write English. In the present time, most of the valuable books are written in it. In order to enlarge our knowledge, we should be able to read English.

English is taught in most of the schools in our country but few of the students know the reason why they have to learn English.

It is hoped that our students should pay more attention to the study of English and make good use of it.
