Each pass age is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the c orresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 33 to 37 are 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 so 20 or 30 years age. A visit to the cinema was “an evening out,” a film was something spe cial. Young people still go to the cinema often. Children w atch a lot of television. Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives. So it is surprising how little film ed ucation there is in schools. Why don’t more children learn how films are made, and why they are made? The best film ed ucation is when children make a film of their own.This is not too difficult. Three things are important – th e cost, the idea of the film, and organization. A 4-minute film can cost as little asよ 10. Schools can hire the neces sary equipment. They can also borrow films that other child ren 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 bee n agreed, the organization begins. Someone must Write the f ilm and plan the filming. Some children will be actors, oth ers camera men, lighting men, technicians and so on. They a ll have to practice a lot before the film itself is made. T hey learn a great deal about the technical problems of film s, and about themselves.33. A film was once something special because ________.A) people had to go to the cinemaB) television was not so popular as nowC) people didn’t have to leave the houseD) there weren’t many films 20 or 30 years ago34.

It is good for children to make their own films at scho ol becauseA) they can learn a lot about filming C) they can enterta in themselvesB) they like films and film stars D) they want to become film stars36. The author writes this passage mainly to tell us ______ __.A) the low cost of making filmsB) the important things in making filmsC) why and how to make films in schoolsD) whether to offer children film education37. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) children can benefit a lot from making filmsB) it is necessary for children to go to the cinemaC) children spend too much time watching TVD) it is difficult for children to make films of their own Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage. What is happening in our weather? Of course we have never b een able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting ma ny parts of the world. For example, droughts (旱灾) in Mexi co and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own sno w for the Winter Olympics!Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weathe r is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is no w 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 s ea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on eart h 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 wh at effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we c annot 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 weatherB) Man is now able to control the weatherC) Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countriesD) It has always been impossible for man to predict the wea ther accurately.39.

The word “affecting” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced b y ________.A) yielding good crops in C) causing few losses inB) having harmful effects on D) producing desired effects on41. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A) weather patterns are similar in different regions of the worldB) the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the las t centuryC) our weather depends on the changes in the air circulatio n patternD) it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long p eriod of time42. It can be learned from this passage that ________.A) scientists have similar opinions about the changing weat herB) no one is sure about the cause of the changing weatherC) cutting down forests has affected the climateD) the weather will become worse in the futurePassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of developme nt assistance. Its main goal is to improve living condition s for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provi ded more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans t o developing countries to help end poverty.The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of t he poorest countries in the world. That program was designe d to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received deb t assistance last year as compared to seven countries the y ear before.The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from inv esting in the people of a country – especially through edu cation and health programs.The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of pro grams. These professionals also provide developing countrie s with the necessary technical help to carry out the progra ms.The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing na tions, where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and babyand child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can re ad than in the past.However, protesters have held large demonstrations at recen t World Band meetings. Opponents say Bank programs make ind ustrial nations richer and developing nations poorer. Other s say the organization’s activities result in environmenta l damage.43.

This passage is manly about ________.A) the management of the World BandB) the assistance programs of the World BandC) the achievements of the World BankD) the organization activities of the World BankPassage FourQuestion 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.He is a good observe, accurate, patient and objective and a pplies persistent and logical thought to the observations h e makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest e xtent. For example, trained observes obtain a very large am ount of information about a star (e.g. distance, mass, size, rate of movement etc.) mainly from the accurate analysis o f the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱).He is skeptical (怀疑的) 0 he does not accept statements wh ich are not based on the most complete evidence available – and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for tr uth. Scientists always check statements and make experiment s 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 fac tors 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 a lso frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imaginatio n if he wants to make hypotheses（假设）of how processes wo rk and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful sci entist thinks and acts.48.
