Passage OneThe cinema was in darkness when we went in and it was no easy matter making our way to our seats. The old man who had come in ahead of us was luckier: he had a stick to help him find his way like a blind man.“It’s funny not to have any lights on before the film starts,” I commented“And no music, either.” added my wife. “Well, perhaps they are economizing!”We were in one of the rows nearest the entrance. We heard other people pass by but we could not tell how big the audience was. Obviously, however, the cinema did not get very crowded at that time of day.“It must be two o’clock already,” my wife said, getting restless. “Can you seeyour watch?”My eyes had grown accustomed to the darkness and by bringing my watch close to my eyes, I could just make out that it was a little after two.Just then the program started. But we were disappointed to find that there had been a change. The second of the two films, which we were not interested in seeing, was being shown first.61.

There are two fundamentally different approaches to pollution control. Input pollution control prevents potential pollutants from entering the environment or sharply reduces the amount emitted or discharged. In this preventive approach, taxes or other economic devices are used to make the resource inputs of a process so expensive that these resources will be used more efficiently, thus decreasing the output of waste material.The other is a “treat-the-disease” or output pollution control approach that deals with wastes after they have been produced. The three major methods of output control are (1) cleaning up polluted air, water, or land by reducing pollutants to harmless levels or by converting them to harmless or less harmful substances, (2) disposing of harmful wastes by burning them, dumping them in the air or water in the hope that they will be diluted to harmless levels, or burying them in the ground and hoping they will remain there, and (3) recycling or reusing matter output from human activities.66. According to the passage, input pollution control is ________A_____.A.a preventive approachB.less effective than output pollution controlC. a “trea t-the-disease” approachD.effective in the United States only67. Output pollution control deals with ______C________.A.resources after they have been producedB.resources before they have been producedC.wastes after they have been producedD.wastes before they have been produced68. Input pollution control and output pollution control are ______C______.A.two closely related approachesB.two equally effective approachesC.two fundamentally different approachesD.two relatively advanced approaches69. In the input pollution control approach, economic devices are used in order that____A________.A.taxes can be collected and thus wastes can be avoidedB.the process of dealing with wastes is made more efficientC.the output pollution control approach can be addedD.the output of waste material can be reduced70. The three major methods of output control are _______D______.A. cleaning up polluted air, water, or landB. disposing of harmful wastesC. recycling or reusing matter outputD. all of the abovePassage ThreeWe have no idea about when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout the history.For example, it is recorded in many history books that people who lived over three thousand years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the deadIn some periods of history, a person who stole salt was thought to have broken the law. Take the eighteenth century for example. If a person was caught stealing salt, he would be thrown into prison. History also records that only in England about ten thousand people were put into prison during that century for stealing salt! About one hundred and fifty years before, in the year1553, if a man took more than his share of salt, he would be thought to have broken the law and would be seriously punished, and his ear would be cut off.Salt was an important item on the dinner table of a king. It was always placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats farther away from it. 71. Thousands of years ago in Egypt salt was used _______B_______.A.to punish people who had broken the lawB.to keep dead bodies from going badC.to keep fish aliveD.to make chemicals72.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20 years career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.After a year I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who did wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test-----even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.76. The passage is meant to __________A____.A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB.advice young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career77. What can be concluded from the passage? CA . Good writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.78. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?BA.He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B.He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C.He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D.He found his dream would never come true.79. “….people who did wondering. What if?” refers to “those ____D________”A.who think too much of the dark side of lifeB.who regret giving up their career halfway.C.who think a lot without making the decision.D.who are full of imagination even upon death80. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____C_____.A.the wonderful one often dreams aboutB.the bright future that one is looking forward toC.the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD.a world that exists only in one’s imaginatio nPart V.
