A
Sugar is so much of our modern life that we only really think about it when,for some reason, we cannot it．It has been known to man for at least 3，000 years，but has come into common use only in modern time．Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the rich only．Sugar is，then，very important to our civilization．But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes．This common form of sugar from two plants：the sugar cane（a type of grass which grows to a height of 20 feet）and the sugar beet（which grows underground）．But there are in fact many types of sugar，and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties，each coming from a different source．
About 90% of the sugar is produced as food．Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production．Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals．It can even be used for making plastics．In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past．There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar．Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods．Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 7，000，000 calories per acre．In this they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000,which the figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each．So three acres of land growing wheat, beans and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar．
56．The heading of Paragraph One may be ．
A．What Sugar Is B．Sugar Through the Ages
C．The Advanges of Sugar D．Present and Future Uses of Sugar
57．The third paragraph emphasizes（强调）．
A．about 90% of sugar used as food B．only 10% used in industry
C．sugar used for making plastics D．future uses of sugar
58．Sugar has been used widely ．
A．for 3,000years B．in modern times
C．quite recently D．for 300 years
59．The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is that ．A．it tastes sweet
B．we can save plenty of land
C．we can get more energy
D．it’s one o f the most highly concentrated of energy foods
B
I used to think education was the most important thing in my life．Recently my attitude has begun to change，although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today．As a top junior student in my college，I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well．Standing in front of the audience facing so many freshmen，I was trembling I didn’t remember anything that I had prepared．I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech，leaving everyone puzzled．I cried on that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser．Studying takes so much time that I feel unable to really develop myself．I am just storing knowledge；yet fail to communicate with others．I have received many awards in school，but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me．I don't know how to socialize．When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society．
I realize that everyone has her or his own way of living．I want to change my lifestyle．Of course I will keep studying．Yet I plan to look for a part—time job，which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society．I still believe that working my hardest does make me happy．I will still stay on in college，but I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world．
60．By saying she is“a top junior student”in her college，the author means she is ．A．a student in her third year in college

B．she doesn’t know how to communicate with others
C．studying takes too much of her time
D．she is unable to develop herself
63．Which of the following statements is NOT true when the author says she wants to find a part-time job?

C
Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one．It is a quarter to five in the morning：the sun has already climbed about the horizon；the birds are busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food．But some of the guests have not yet left．They are still prolonging the night：dancing，singing，gossiping，putting off the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day’s work in the fields after a sleepless night．
Throughout most of her life，Bridget Mary，the bride，has been living in the small whitewashed thatched cottage I have just left．Twelve children have been brought up there but only two are still living at home．The eldest son，heir（继承人）to the small farm, is helping his father with the farm work（they employ no farm laborers）：the youngest daughter is still at school．Two years ago，Bridget Mary went to England to take up domestic work in a hospital and it was while she was living there that she met her future husband，Terry．He himself is an Irishman who used to live in Dublin and now has a well-paid job in a light engineering works in England．They got engaged and started saving．Now they are thinking of buying a small house near Terry’s factor．
The wedding ceremony was performed in the church in the nearest town at half past eight yesterday morning．Another couple were being married at the same time．Nobody worried about the cost of the celebrations：four luxurious cars brought bride，bridegroom，family and friends home，and forty people were crowded into the tiled kitchen and the tiny living—room，hung with framed school certificates and religious pictures．A big meal was given；the wedding cake was cut and toasts were drunk in whisky or sherry（葡萄酒）。

And while the remains of the feast were being cleared away and the rooms swept，the four cars set out again，taking the married couple and relations for a drive round the country—side．
64．What makes it clear that this is a country wedding?
A．People are up so early．B．Birds are singing．
C．The people’s occupations．D．The bride is one of a large family．
65．No farm laborers are employed because ．
A．they are not needed B．the child can help
C．there are none available D．the family is too poor
66．The young couple will not live on the farm after their marriage because ．A．there is no room for them
B．they have a house in England
C．they are both employed elsewhere
D．it’s the bride’s brother who will inherit（继承）the farm
67．Why were the guests taken for a ride round the countryside?
A．To give them an opportunity of seeing the surroundings．
B．To get them out of the way．
C．To enable the neighbors to see the married people．
D．As a way of passing the time．
D
Suppose we built a robot to explore the planet，Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detector（探测器）to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all time? No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．According to the evolutionary（进化的）theory of sleep，evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory doesn’t deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However，sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into；it doesn’t prote ct us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar and safe place，but we sleep lightly，if at all，when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．
The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do cats，for instance，sleep so much，while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating，because
what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover，they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply，because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers．
68．The author used the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ．A．the differences between robots and men
B．the reason why men need to sleep
C．about the need for robots to save energy
D．about the danger of men working at night
69．Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night mainly to help him ．
A．avoid danger and ineffective labor
B．restore his bodily functions
C．prevent trouble that comes looking for him
D．keep up a regular pattern of life
70．Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because they ．
A．are more active than horses when they’re awake
B．need more time for restoration
C．spend less time eating to get enough energy
D．are unlikely to be attackers
71．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．
B．The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．
C．Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．
D．Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping against waking．
E
The Chinese government’s strategy to boost（推进）the economy by increasing the number of holidays and encouraging spending，called“holiday economics”，may soon outlive its usefulness，one Chinese publication predicts．
The Oct．4 Zaobao．com says there are only a limited number of ways for Chinese tourists to spend money within the country．Unless new methods are created to service．all levels of consumers，local tourists，especially the rich，may be soon tired of spending during the holiday altogether，it said．It is debatable whether“ holiday economics” provides a boost that lifts consumption（消费）year round，but there is evidence that it increases spending in the holiday periods．
This year，for example，Shanghai’s Liberation Daily noted that road travel from Oct．1 to Oct．3 was up 96．3 percent from the same period last year．Xinhua News Agency also reported that Baiyun Airport in Guangdong Province handled 463 flights on Oct．1 alone，an all—time record，according to Reuters．But how long will it last? Zaobao corn doesn’t dispute these figures，but wonders how long we can expect to see such spending outgoings．
Workers now get 114 days off a year for official holidays，the publication said．Vacationers may be spending vigorously now，but will they continue to do so if the world economic slowdown continues?
The Chinese media said that people who are relatively highly paid and that have a1rady gone abroad are not likely to travel during the busy weeklong holiday．Those with medium incomes only account for 20 percent of the population in urban and rural areas．Although these people are likely to travel，the rest would rather stay at home，Zaobao corn said．
After years of “holiday economics”，more and more people are getting tired of the same consumption models offered during the holidays．Those with high and medium incomes, those with money as well as time，are going to get tired of doing the same old things，Zaobao．com said．
The country needs to come up with different consumption models，or different ways to spend money，in order to keep the wealthier citizens spending．New and innovative（创新的）ways to spend time and money will not only attract the well—off，but may even attract those with as little as 3，000 yuan in annual income．
Only in this way will“ holiday economics” truly increase domestic demand and promote national growth，Zaobao．com said．
72．Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards the topic?
A．Encouraged B．Disappointed C．Cheerful D．Anxious
73．The phrase “an all—time record” in paragraph 4 refers to．
A．a general report B．a general note
C．the record set in the year D．an official account
74．The following are reasons leading to people’s worries EXCEPT that．A．the world economy may continue slowing down
B．people with medium incomes who are likely to travel only account for 20％of the population C．more and more people are getting tired of the same consumption model
D．people of lower incomes are not willing to go out during the busy weeklong model
75．is the proper solution to the problems in question．
A．To attract more people with lower incomes
B．To provide more opportunities for travelers to go abroad
C．To create new spending ways
D．To improve the traveling services
