For each of them,. there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneHealthy trees are important to us all. Trees provide shade, beauty, and homes for wildlife. Trees give us products like paper and wood. Trees can give us all these only if they are healthy. They must be well cared for to remain healthy.Your trees' trouble may be you yourself. People spend much time and money planting and maintaining trees. Trees help to improve the looks of homes, parks, and public buildings. Yet, people who love trees the most may be the ones who cause them injury. Of course, they do not do this on purpose. They are most likely not aware of the kinds of things that injure trees. There are many people who cause tree injuries. You should become aware of the injuries and avoid causing them. Learn the things that can help to keep your trees healthy.Healthy trees are beautiful. They make our world a pleasant place to live in. Un-healthy trees are not as beautiful. They make the world less pleasant. Healthy trees help to cool and clean the air. They can even deaden sound. Unhealthy trees cannot help or protect the environment. (81) Trees, like people, are disturbed by changes a-round them. Construction of buildings is a major cause of tree injuries.41. According to the passage, onl y trees can give us shade, beauty, and products.A. beautifulB. healthyC. oldD. young42. People who love trees may .A. never cause trees injuryB. damage trees on purposeC. do harm to trees without knowing itD. not be aware of which trees are healthy43. People may improve the looks of their homes and public buildings by .A. keeping unhealthy trees injuredB. making a lot of changes around treesC. cooling and cleaning the air around treesD. planting trees and. keeping them healthy44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Construction of buildings is good for trees.B. Some trees' trouble comes from human beings.C. People should keep trees beautiful.D. Trees are not disturbed by changes around them.45. The purpose of this passage is to tell .A. that people should know the importance of keeping trees healthyB. that people should plant more trees .C. what trees can be used for construction of buildingsD. what kinds of trees look beautifulPassage TwoWhy do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves, this question. No animals laugh and smile 一only human beings do. So does laughing help us to live longer? The answer seems t0 11e in that smiling and. laughing help us to become less worried and calm, preventing illnesses that are caused by stress. Laughing is really the best medicine.But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can it? That’s not true. It is clear that smiling works just in the same way whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear 一just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were recorded. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the students smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. That happened even though they were only acting! So even if we feel sad inside, smiling seems to make us feel better.Now, what makes us laugh? (82) It seems that the answer to the question is far from simple. Everyone likes jokes, but we don't laugh at the same ones. It depends largely on how old we are. There are some jokes, for example, that children love but older people might not find funny.46. In the first paragraph, the underlined word "stress" can be best explained as”.A. surprise and fearB. work and dutyC. happiness and sadnessD. pressure and worry47.

Our blood pressure can be influenced by five different facial expressions mentioned.D. People, old and young, are likely to laugh at the same jokes.48. In the passage, the writer seems to pay more attention to.A. how laughing and smiling are connected with healthB. comparing human beings with animalsC. finding out if any research has been done about laughingD. the degree to which laughing and smiling are helpful49. The passage tells us that smiling and laughing .A. have nothing to do with one's heart rateB. do one no good when one is sadC. improve one's blood pressureD. lower one's body temperature50. According to the author,.A. it is rather complicated to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"B. it is really simple to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"C. it is not necessary to answer the question "Why do we laugh?"D. scientists have already answered the question "why do we laugh?"Passage ThreeWhen you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitio n﹒In most cases, you will visit a likely employer's office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.(83)The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of your application form and interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-hunting si t uations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often require letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Therefore, your writing skills may play an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job hunting situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-hunter, therefore, you should be able to pre-pare all the written materials that will help you to get the job you want.51.

An Attempt to Find Better JobsPassage Four(84)Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with their trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metals." Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain region, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible." Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, "This ground should be searched for metals. " From an airplane over a hill-y wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word, "Uranium. "None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic powers for looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground 一using trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.(85)This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of trees and bushes that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a miner-al search group gathered bags of tree seeds. 130xes were filled with small branches from the trees, and roots were dug out and put into boxes with each bag and box carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.If the trees had not indicated that there was gold in the ground, the scientists would not have spent money to pay for digging deeper. They did dig and found more gold below. When they dug deeper, they :found large quantities of gold.56.
