Passage One
Questions33to37are based on the following passage.
Want to see a good film–without leaving the house?Well,just switch on the television.That’s fine for most of us,but people couldn’t do so20or30 years age.A visit to the cinema was“an evening out,”a film was something special.Young people still go to the cinema often.Children watch a lot of television.Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives.So it is surprising how little film education there is in schools.Why don’t more children learn how films are made,and why they are made?The best film education is when children make a film of their own.
This is not too difficult.Three things are important–the cost,the idea of the film,and organization.A4-minute film can cost as little asよ10.Schools can hire the necessary equipment.They can also borrow films that other children have made.This helps them to see what is possible in a short film. Children will be making the film,so the main ideas for the film must come form them.When these have been agreed,the organization begins.Someone must Write the film and plan the filming.Some children will be actors,others camera men,lighting men,technicians and so on.They all have to practice a lot before the film itself is made.They learn a great deal about the technical problems of films,and about themselves.

D)it is difficult for children to make films of their own
Passage Two
Questions38to42are based on the following passage.
What is happening in our weather?Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather will be like,but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world.For example,droughts(旱灾) in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics!
Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century.This means that different regions of the world get long spells (持续时间)of the same type of weather,whether hot,cold,wet or windy.
However,weather experts have different views about why this has happened.One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased.Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.
Whatever the cause,the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather.And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather,we cannot make changes which might help.So for the moment the only answer is…wait and see!
38.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A)We have never predicted the weather
B)Man is now able to control the weather
C)Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countries
D)It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.

B)changeable but predictable D)unpredictable but favorable to man
40.The word“affecting”in Paragraph1can be replaced by________.
A)yielding good crops in C)causing few losses in
B)having harmful effects on D)producing desired effects on
41.We can learn from Paragraph2that________.
A)weather patterns are similar in different regions of the world
B)the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the last century
C)our weather depends on the changes in the air circulation pattern
D)it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long period of time
42.It can be learned from this passage that________.
A)scientists have similar opinions about the changing weather
B)no one is sure about the cause of the changing weather
C)cutting down forests has affected the climate
D)the weather will become worse in the future
Passage Three
Questions43to47are based on the following passage.
The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the
st year,it provided more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty.
The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world.That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past.As a result,twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.
The World Bank does more than just provide loans,however.It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country–especially through education and health programs.
The World Bank employs engineers,economists,public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs.These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs.
The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations,where life expectancy(寿命)has increased and baby and child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can read than in the past.
However,protesters have held large demonstrations at recent World Band meetings.Opponents say Bank programs make industrial nations richer and developing nations poorer.Others say the organization’s activities result in environmental damage.
43.The World Bank aims mainly at________.
A)helping poor countries better their living conditions

C)paying debts for some of the poorest countries in the world

A)it has helped the rich countries a great deal
B)it has cared too much about the poor countries
C)it has widened the economic gaps between rich and poor countries
D)it has caused most of the world environmental pollution
47.This passage is manly about________.
A)the management of the World Band
B)the assistance programs of the World Band
C)the achievements of the World Bank
D)the organization activities of the World Bank
Passage Four
Question48to52are based on the following passage.
He is a good observe,accurate,patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes.He utilizes the facts he
observes to the fullest extent.For example,trained observes obtain a very large amount of information about a star(e.g.distance,mass,size,rate of movement etc.)mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).
He is skeptical(怀疑的)0he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available–and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth.Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to prove them.
Furthermore,he is not only critical of the work of others,but also of his own,since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly,he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete.Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses（假设）of how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist thinks and acts.
48.What quality of a good observer is NOT mentioned in Paragraph1?
A)Intelligence B)Patience.C)Persistence.D) Objectivity.
49.We can learn from Paragraph2that a scientist believes that.
A)no statements can be proved true

C)authority is the sole basis for truth
D)authority does not necessarily mean truth
50.The word“them”(Line4,Paragraph2)refers to.

51.A scientist is critical of his own work because he knows that he is.
A)aware of his own findings C)liable to be wrong
B)likely to be criticized D)capable of being entirely objective
52.The word“imaginative”(Line1,Paragraph4)most probably means.
A)accurate and objective C)curious and serious
C)creative and inventive D)skeptical and critical

Passage One
Questions33to37are based on the following passage.
When two people are talking to each other,they tend to stand a specific distance apart.Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come.If someone goes beyond this boundary,they will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.)This personal distance is not due to unpleasant body smell or bad breath,but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy(亲密)that is in disagreement with their relationship to the other individual.
Interestingly,the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than people in other cultures.So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation,he or she will feel that you are"in their face"and will try to back away.Try to be aware of this;so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little,don't try to close the gap.
Also,try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking,since this may also lead to discomfort.Touching is a bit too intimate for nodding acquaintances(相识的人).So don't put your arm around their shoulder,touch their face,or hold their hand.Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable,but this is only momentary.
33.When two people talk to each other they
A)always stand as close to each other as possible。
