But the productive performance of agriculture is even more important than this, because in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of industrial goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income ( 人均收入) of a nation is the number of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world, more than half of the populationlives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the productive performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it works. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is reasonable to begin with a consideration of its market structure.41. This passage is most probably part of ______.A) a news item B) an advertisementC) a lecture D) an article42. What is most important to agriculture is ______ .A) its productive performance B) the per capita income of farmersC) the amount of food it produces D) the production of industrial goods43. The word "this" (line 3) refers to ______ .A) the productivity of farmers B) the provision of food and raw materialsC) the production of investment goods D) the economy as a whole44. The performance of farmers essentially determines ______.A) the size of the working population B) the organization of agricultureC) the market structure D) the general development of economy .45. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ________A) the market .structure of American agricultureB) the structure of American farming populationC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculture Passage 2The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway —without leaving town.Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street.

You’ll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second-floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.What will you find when you enter the largecontemporary lobby is a handsome and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany in its modern Mediterranean (地中海式的) style. The lobby has a large fireplace with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it.

I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when bookingmy ticket months before, I had bought travel insura nce. So my illness didn’t cost me a cent. It’s actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province — at the insurance company’s expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable. When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all mymedication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice — you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket —unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what you’ll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don’t have cancellation insurance.51. What happened to the author when he wasin Bombay?A. He fell ill and couldn’t go home as scheduled.B. He didn’t buy travel insurance.C. He spent a lot of money on curing his illness.D. He couldn’t get in touch with his family and friends.52.

Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person canwithstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),weneed to find ways to deal with it.56 .People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.A. they do not know how to enjoy themselvesB. they do not believe that relaxation is important for healthC. they are travelling fast all the timeD. they are becoming busier with their work57.According to the writer , the most important character for a good manager is his ________.A. not fearing stressB. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance58.Which of the following statements is true?A. We can find some ways to avoid stressB. Stress is always harmful to peopleC. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress59.In Paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to_______.A. "making a choice between 'flight' or 'fight'"B. "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"C. "responding to crises quickly"D. "losing heart at the signs difficulties"60. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.A. "expose ourselves to stress"B. " find ways to deal with stress"C. " remove stress from our lives"D. "established links between diseases and stress" Passage 5In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society. Theywanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the U.S. equal. Some of them decided to "drop out" of American society and form their own societies . They formed utopian communities , which they called "communes," where they could follow their philosophy of "do your own thing." A group of artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called "Drop City." Following the ideas of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller they built dome-shaped houses from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, the followers for San Francisco poet Steve Gakin, and a group that called itself the Hog Farm, lived in old school houses and traveled around the United States. The Hog Farm become famous when they helped organize the Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. Steve Gaskin's followers tried to settledown on a farm in Tennessee, but they had to leave when some members of the group were arrested for growing marijuana.Not all communes believed in the philosophy of "do you own thing," however . Twin Oaks , a commune founded in Virgiania in the late 1960s, was based on the ideas of psychologist B.F. Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were carefully controlled by Skinner's "conditioning" techniques to do things that were good for the community. In 1972, Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to build Arcosanti, a utopian city Arizsona where 2500 people will live closely together in one large building called an "archeology" Soleri believes that people must live closely together so that they will all become one.61.Why did some young Americans decide to "drop out" of society during the 1960s?A.

Buckminster Fuller64.What was the Twin Oaks commune base on ?A. The philosophy of "do your own thing"B. Virginia in the late 1960sC. The ideas of psychologistD. The belief that people must live closely together.65.What is an "archeology"?A. A person who studies archaeologyB. A large building where people live closely togetherC. A city in A RizonaD.

Frank is now the head of a very large 67 company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair 68 and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1938 he bought a small work-shop of his own. Duringthe war Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. By the end of the war, the small work-shop had become a large factory which 69 seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still 70 when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their son's bicycle!Part Ⅴ Writing （15’）Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition about an opening speech for a sports meeting.
