Some countries which were mainly agricultural a hundred years ago have now become industrial. There are fewer farmers to serve a much greater population, so these farms must be more efficient in order to produce as much food as possible. Unfortunately, many of the scenic aspects of farming are disappearing in the search for efficiency. The more tractors are use, the fewer horses are needed. Everyone agrees that horses are far more pleasant to look at than tractors, but they are less efficient. Cows are milked by machinery nowadays, and even pigs are fed automatically. There is not much art or poetry on themodern farm, and the old idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is totally wrong nowadays.The modern farmer has to be a mechanic, a scientist and an accountant（会计）. He must understand what machinery is necessary for his kind of farm; he must know the new technical advances in agriculture and how to use chemical products to improve his crops. Although he has more modern equipment and far more scientific aids than his grandfather had, the farmer is still dependent on the weather. As he can never be sure what the weather will do, he must be prepared to take risks, and face the possibility of losing everything.1. According to the writer, modern farms ___________.A. must be more and more efficient than beforeB. can not produce as much food as beforeC. need fewer machine and workers than beforeD. become less beautiful and pleasant than before2. The writer seems to imply that __________.A. it is a wrong idea to work on the modern farmB. modern farms are more ideal than old farmsC. modern farms lack the peaceful atmosphereD. modern farming is not an art at all3. A modern farmer must know science and ______.A. learn to write reportsB. the ways to increase the cropsC. agricultureD. dare to take risks4. Although the farms are getting more mechanized, _________ is still important.A. modern equipmentB. weatherC. chemicalsD. scientific aids5. It is known in the passage that ______.A. it is very competitive to be a modern farmerB. modern farmers may not be happy working thereC. machinery can sometimes cause other problemsD. sometimes farmers probably fail in getting cropsPassage TwoPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts andbeaches for their vacations. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.6. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ——————.A．they want to see historic remains or religious spots.B．they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs.C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.D．they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.7. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned_______________.A．to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.B．to tell us how wealthy their residents are.C．to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.D．to prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle.8. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others ?A．Italy. B．Spain.C．France. D．Greece.9. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, namely, "or one tourist for every person living in Spain" means ____________.A．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.B．every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.D．Every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.10. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourist's fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches ?A．Polluted water. B．Crowded buses.C．Traffic jams. D．Rainy weather.Passage ThreeThe danger of being sued by a client for problems created by an intermediary has forced travel agents and such suppliers as airlines to seek protection through insurance and the use of disclaimers. A disclaimer is a statement that is written into a contract explaining that the travel agent or supplier will not be liable for acts or errors of wholesalers and other third parties, such as tour guides and chauffeurs. To be fully protected, a disclaimer normally must be presented to the client both in writing and orally.Travel agents and suppliers have found that it is important to review carefully all of the advertising and promotional materials they give to clients to make certain the wording in such material does not negate their disclaimers. It is natural for a travel agency to want to convince clients that it is professional and offers dependable service; however, such claims may create problems if they should prove untrue. For example, an agency called the Four Winds Travel Agency once stated the following in its advertising:Four Winds also guarantees that every tour will be escorted by a qualified professional tour director. Our directors are carefully selected and trained. Your Four Winds jet tour is an escorted tour. From the moment you leave until your journey ends, you are cared for by a carefully selected Four Winds Tour Escort.A client purchased a 47-day tour for a Four Winds tour to South America. During her Visit to Brazil she was being transported in a boat on the Amazon River near Manaus. The boat was not owned by Four Winds, and the guide was not a Four Winds employee. As the boat docked at Manaus, the client slipped and fell in the Amazon. Although it was an accident, she sued Four Winds. The court agreed that the promotional literature had led her to believe Four Winds would be in charge of the tour.11. in this passage a disclaimer _________.A. is an oral statementB. is often used by clientsC. can free a travel agent from liability in certain mattersD. is used by a wholesaler to sue a travel agent12. The word ―wording‖ in the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph means _________.A. the words chosen to express somethingB. the lengthy sentencesC. the ambiguous wordsD. the word order13. In the example, the client purchased a tour to _________.A. the Amazon RiverB. ManausC. South AmericaD. Four Winds14. The client fell in the Amazon River when she was escorted by _________.A. a qualified professional tour directorB. a guide who was not a Four Winds employeeC. a carefully selected Four Winds Tour EscortD. a guide who accompanied her all the way to the destination15. _________ won the lawsuit.A. The new guideB. The guide with Four WindsC. Four windsD. The clientPassage FourAmerican cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American "dream" was to have a house in the suburbs.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city- a wealthier, more mobile class.Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.16. Paragraph 1 .A. explains why American cities are changingB. shows that American cities have many problemsC. is a description of citiesD. says American cities contain the very best aspects of a society17. In the 1950s the American "dream" was .A. to have a houseB. to buy a new house in the suburbsC. to have a big carD. to buy an apartment in the city18. In paragraph 3, the author gives ______ reasons why people want to live in cities.A. twoB. fourC. fiveD. three19. According to the article, cities are .A. sickB. livingC. alive againD. dying20. The movement of people to and from the city can explain .A. racial conflictB. social changesC. violent crimeD. the best aspects of a societyPassage FiveMany visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that every one is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. But 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 and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that every one is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you.21. Visitors to the United States possibly feel that city people of the country are very ______.A. busyB. kindC. troublingD. patient22. In American big cities, people rarely ______.A. smile to each otherB. move at a fast paceC. chat with each other in a shopD. dine away from home23. According to the writer, American people are ______.A. unfriendly only when they are shoppingB. actually friendly to foreign visitorsC. indeed cold to foreign visitorsD. in no hurry when walking in the street24. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. Life pace is different inside and outside big cities.B. Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.C. Life pace is the same in different parts of the world.D. Life pace is similar in American cities, big or small.25. It seems that Americans are cold to you because they think ______.A. you are a foreignerB. you know their way of lifeC. you are as busy as they areD. you are a stranger therePassage SixWhat do you know about the sea? We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world.The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place!If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt.Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea!In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these.The sea can be very cold. Divers, who go deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. When the diver goes peer, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him. Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal. But he cannot go very deep. Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!26．When does the sea look beautiful?A．When it is calm. B．When the weather is fine.C．When there is a strong wind. D．When there is a storm.27．How much of the earth's surface does land cover ?A．15% B．25%C．30% D．45%28．Why does the author cite the sea somewhere near Japan ?A．To show that the sea in some places is very deep.B．To show that the sea in some places is very shallow.C．To show that its depth is 9 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain.。
