Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. 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 center.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:AEvery artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public．Not only does he want to say it well，but he wants it to be something which has not been said before．He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to lean from him．What visional artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain，because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words．They seem to feel that feel certain selectionof shapes andcolors，out ofthe countlessbillionspossible，isexceptionallyinterestingfor them andworth showingto us．Withouttheirwork we should never have noticed these particular shapes and coloror have felt the delight which they brought to the artists．Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature andfrom human bodies in motion and at rest；their choices indicate that theseaspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautifulsights．Modern artists might say that they only choose subjects that providean interesting pattern，that there is nothing more in it. Yet even theydo not choose entirely without reference to the character of theirsubjects．If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight，eachof them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world．Each painter is tellingus something，showing us something，emphasizing something—all of which means that，consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us．41.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying，because_____．A. most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of wordsD． many painters do not say anything42．The writer says that modem artists might say their choice of subject_____．A. carries a message to thepublicB. only provides interesting patternsC. has no pattern or formD. teaches the public important truths43．The writer says that modern art contains___．A. nothing but meaningless patternsB. uninteresting aspects of the worldC．subjects chosen partly for their meaningD．completely meaningless subjects44.Implied but not stated:A. A painting is more easily understood than a symphony．B. Art is merely the arranging of shape and color．C． Every artist tries to say something to the pub-lic．D． One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artists are sayingBFeeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to hospital，but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong．Then consider this，you might be in a state of subhealth．Subhealth，also called the third state of grey state，is explained as a border line state between health and disease．Accor ding to an investigation by the National Health Organization，over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle-aged or elderly．The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time．Symptom includes a 1ack of energy，depression，slow reactions insomnia agitation，and poor memory．Other symptoms include shortness of breath，sweating and aching in the waist andlegs．The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth，according tosome medical experts，is to form good 1iving habits，alternate work withrest，exercise regularly，and take part in open-air activities．As for meals，people are advised to eatless salt and sugar．They shouldalso eat more fresh vegetables，fruits，fish, because they are richin nutritional elements vitamins and trace elements—that areimportant to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too muchat one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestivetract．They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoidingsubheath．45．According to this passage，which of the following isright?A． When you are in a state of subhealth，you should stay homeand keep silent．B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to seea doctor and buy some medicine．C． When you are in a state of subhealth，you should haveyourself examined in foreign countries．D． When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find outthe reasons and relax yourself．46．Middle-aged people may feel subhealthy，because _____.A． they used up their energyB. they have lost their living hopesC． they have more pressure in life and workD． they begin to get older47．The answer of preventing you falling into a state of subhealthis that you should _____．A． w orkhardB． sleep moreC． k eeprelaxedD． take more medicine48. As for food, expertssuggest that_____.A. we should never eat meatB. we should have meals with less salt sugarC. we should eat lessD. we should have meals without salt or sugarCA moment’s drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset．Many of us cannot stand pain．To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the“needle”—a shot of novocain—that deadens the nerves around the tooth．Now it’s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it．This helps us adjust ourselves to the world．Without our nerves and our brain，which is a bundle of nerves，we wouldn’t know what’s happening．But we pay for our sensitivity．We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of pain is based on the human body being open to pain．But there is a way to handle pain．Look at the Indian fakir who sits on a bed of nails．Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm，and feel no pain．This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain．The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it．If the dentist says．“This will hurt a little，”it helps us to accept the pain．By staying relaxed，and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation，we can handle the pain without falling apart．After all，although pain is an unpleasant sensation，it is still a sensation，and sensations are the stuff of life．49．The passage is mainly about _____．A． how to suffer pain B． how to avoid painC． how to handle pain D． how to stop pain50．When the author mentions the Indian fakir he suggests thatA． Indians are not at all afraid of painB． people may be senseless of painC ． some people are able to handle painD ． fakirs have magic to put needles right through their arms51.The most important thing to handle pain is ___． A ． h ow we look at pain B ． to feel pain as much as possibleC ． to show an interest in painD ． to accept the pain unwillinglyDThe Governmenthasalmost doubled its spending oncomputer educationinschools. Mr.William Shelton, junior Education Minister, announced that the Microelectronic Education Programme(MEP) will not end in 1984. It will run for two more years until 1986 with additional funding of at least ￡ 9 million.The programme began in 1980, was originally due to end next year, and had budget(预算) of ￡ 9 million. This has been raised little by little over the past year to ~ 11 million. The programme will now run until 1986, at a total cost of around ~ 20 million.MEP provides courses for teachers and develops computer programmes for classroom use of personal computers. It is run in partnership (合伙 ) with a Department of Industry programme under which British-made personal computers are supplied to schools at half-price. In that way, virtually every secondary school has been provided with at least one computer at a central cost to the taxpayer of under ~ 5 million. The primary schools are now being supplied in a ￡ 9 million programme which got under way at the turn of the year. But, as Mr. Shehon admitted yesterday: "It's no good having the computers without the right computer programmes to put into them and a great deal more is still needed." Hence, MEP' s new funds. Mr. Shehon said yesterday that MEP's achievements in course development and teacher training had shown that the computer could be used in all courses.About 15,000 secondary teachers have taken short courses in "computer awareness" that is a necessary part of the half-price computer offer- and training materials are now being provided for 50,000 primary teachers. The reasoning behind MEP is that no child now at school can hope for a worthwhile job in the future economy unless he or she understands how to deal with computers- not in a job training sense, but in learning the general skill to obtain the required information of the moment from the ever-spreading flood.52. The original MEP programme was expected to _______ A) last two years and cost nine million pounds B) last four years and cost nine million pounds C) last two years and cost eleven million pounds D) last four years and cost eleven million pounds53. The main aim of MEP is to help course development and ______ A) provide personal computers for schoolsB) arrange for cheap computers to be supplied to schools C) show teachers how to use personal computers D) train teachers to work with classes using computers 54. Computers have now been introduced ______ A) in most secondary schools B) in all secondary schoolsC) in most primary schools, at half-priceD) in most schools, at no expense to the taxpayers55. The additional grant of money being provided is mainly _______ A) part of the agreement to supply computers cheaply B) to develop further computer programmes for schools C) to hire 50,000 primary teachersD) to provide courses for secondary teachersPart V Translation from Chinese into EnglishDirections: In this part there are five sentences, numbered 81 to 85,in Chinese.
