Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and youdo not often see one that is empty.During the day, most people travel to and from work by train, Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.16.

It is always grateful to its master. It helps man in many ways. Certain breeds of dogs are used in criminal investigations. They are trained to sniff out drugs and bombs. They help police to catch criminals.The dogs that help in criminal investigations are trained at a school called the Military Dog Studies Branch of the U.S. Air Force in Lackland, Texas. The dogs to be trained are selected by an air force team. This teamvisits large cities across the country to buy the dogs. They may buy dogs from private citizens for up to $750 each. Some citizens freely give their dogs. The dogs selected must be healthy, brave and aggressive. They must be able to fight back if they are attacked. The dogs chosen are between the ages of one and three. They are given a medical examination when they arrive at the school. Their physical examination includes X-rays and heart tests. The trainee dogs undergo the first stage of training when they arrive in Lackland. This is an 11-week course for patrol duty. After this course, the best dogs are selected to go on another 9-week course. They learn drug-sniffing or bomb-sniffing. After this course, the dogs are ready for their jobs in the cities or on air force bases.The training given to a drug-sniffing dog is different from that given to a bomb-sniffing dog.A drug-sniffing dog is trained to scratch and dig for the drugs when he sniffs them. A bomb-sniffing dog sits down when he finds abomb, which is the alert for hidden explosives.21.

As a result, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemicals and which have not been affected by the chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.Natural foods include vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in essential vitamins and minerals. This is a natural process, in comparison with the use of chemicals and fertilizers. In the latter case, the main purpose is to increase the amount —but not the quality — of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in the outdoors. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: in some farms, for example, thousands of chickens live crowded together. Chickens raised in this way often do not taste good as food; they also produce eggswhich lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural product, such as honey, can be good to taste, we can in fact do without it. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals — and no fiber. All it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. Of course, sugar is not harmful in itself, but eating too much of it will cause problems. The fact is that the quantity of sugar we use has grown quickly over the last two hundred years and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds of sugar a year!Nowadays fiber is considered to be an essential part of a healthy diet. A lot of fiber is found in unprocessed flour and in many vegetables. However, the fiber has been removed in foods like white bread. In some countries where the national diet contains large quantities ofunrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. That is why modern experts on “healthy eating” place a lot of emphasis on the eating of vegetables.26. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Today, it is still a widely adopted practice to chemically fertilize crops.B. Natural foods are foods produced in large quantities.C. Today people are no longer eating foods containing chemicals.D. Processed foods are more welcomed than natural foods.27. In the second paragraph of this passage, “the latter case” refers to ________.A. natural processB. qualityC. the use of chemicals and fertilizersD. quantity28. Growing vegetables in natural process meansto ________.A. increaseB. improve their qualityC. use fertilizerD. attract more attention from people29. According to the writer，we can in fact eat ________.A. no fatB. no sugarC. no vegetablesD. no vitamins30. The meaning of the last word “vegetables” in this passage is ________.A. vegetables grown in natural processB. vegetables grown with the use of chemicals and fertilizersC. essential part of a healthy dietD. not especially definedSection B (15 points)Directions: in this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making yourchoice. Each choice in blank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the answer sheet with a single line through the center. you may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Question 31-40 are based on the following passage.Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle.
