The creation of Ludovic Lazar Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist(眼科学者), Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement to promote its use, although originally annoyed with 'disagreement, has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries.Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least one million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contacts, on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread from Europe— both East and West — to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto had had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations (often in scientific or technological works). El Popola Cinio (From People's China), a monthly magazine in Esperanto, is read worldwide. Radio Beijing's Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world.Esperanto's vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Romance languages, English, and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus, for example, every noun ends in o, every adjective in a, and the infinitive(不定式) of every verb in i. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old: ami, to love; malami, to hate; malameno, the tendency to hate.第61题：Which statement is true according to the passage?A.Esperanto was created by a Polish.B.Esperanto was accepted at the very beginning..C.Esperanto has the greatest influence in Poland.D.Esperanto is a written language.第62题：Which statement is true about Esperanto in China?A.It is taught in elementary schools.B.About one million people speak Esperanto in China.C.China has a radio program in Esperanto.D.El Popola Cinio is a magazine published every week.第63题：What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A.Esperanto is a dying language.B.Esperanto has become the world's second language.C.Esperanto is the native language of its inventor.D.Esperanto is probably a language easy to learn.第64题：Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.The Origin of EsperantoB.Esperanto in ChinaC.Elements of EsperantoD.EsperantoPassage TwoBeliefs are shared ideas about how the world operates. They may be' summaries and interpretations of the past, explanations of the' present or predictions for the future, and may be based on common sense, folk wisdom, religion, science, or some combination of these. Some beliefs apply to intangible (无形的) things (for example, whether the human spirit lives on after .death). All cultures distinguish between ideas for which people have reasonable proof (for Americans, for ex ample, the idea that smoking increases the risk of cancer) and ideas that have not been, or cannot be, tested (for Americans, for example, the idea that there is intelligent life on other planets). Where and how people draw the line varies, however.Bemuse beliefs shape both personal and social experience, basic differences in beliefs can account for some of the problems Vietnamese immigrants have had in American society. One exampie is beliefs concerning the nature of time. People in Western cultures believe time is irreversible (不可回转的). We think of time as a straight line. On every January 1st we add another year to the calendar. Traditionally, the Vietnamese have reckoned time in sixty-yesr cycles. Every sixty years thecycle starts over with .the year with which it began. Such a conception of time suggests that current events are not unique; that things come around again. American beliefs regarding time as linear create the sense that "time is ticking away"; the Vietnamese belief that time is cyclical creates an entirely different state of mind.Beliefs apply not only to concepts like time but also to mundane (世俗的，世间的) aspects of the material world. Residents of San Francisco were offended greatly to learn that rural immigrants from Laos and Cambodia had been stalking(蹑手蹑脚地走近) their dinner in Golden Gate Park. San Franciscans could not understand how the newcomers could hunt and eat squirrels(松鼠) and stray dogs; the Indochinese(印度支那人) could not understand why San Franciscans did not— a classic case of the same object (in this case, dogs) having different cultural meanings. Even within our own culture we can see great variation in how people think about the same re source. Some people see dogs as working animals, acquired to protect our apartments or livestock; others treat their dogs as special friends or even substitute children.第65题：According to the passage, beliefs ______.A.can be explained by common senseB.are predictions for the futureC.vary in different culturesD.can only apply to abstract concepts第66题：If you were a Vietnamese, you would believe that time ______.A.can not be reversedB.is passing by tickingC.can be recurredD.is moving in cycles第67题：The word "unique" (Para. 2) most probably means ______.ualB.having no likeC.differentD.having no standard第68题：It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.the Indochinese are glad to hunt and eat squirrelsB.San Franciscans enjoy stalking their dinner in Golden Gate ParkC.some people treat dogs as special friends or even substitute childrenD.varied ideas about the same object can be found even in one culturePassage ThreeThe computer has changed the way we work, team, communicate, and play; Virtually ewery kind of organization throughout the world conducts business with computers. Students, teachers, and research scientists use the computer as a learning tool. Millions of individuals and organizations communicate with one another over a network of computers called the Internet. Computer games entertain people of all ages.Almost all computers are electronic digital computers. They are electronic in their use of electric current(电流) to carry information. They are digital in. that they process information as units of electric charge representing numbers. The word digital means having to do with numbers. To enable a computer to process information that is not numerical — such as words, pictures, or sounds — the computer or some other &vice must first digitize: that information. A device digitizes information by translating it into charges that represent numbers. After the computer processes the digitized information by working with the charges, the computer or a device: connected to the computer translates its results hack into their original form.Thus, an artist might use a machine called a scanner to digitize a photograph. The artist would next process the resulting electric charges in a computer to Change the photograph perhaps to add a border. The artist would then use a printer connected to the computer to produce a, copy of the altered photo.Digital computers are one of two general kinds of computers. The other kind is calculating devices called analog computers. An analog computer represents amounts with physical quantities, such as distances along a scale, rather than with numbers.第69题：The main topic of this passage is ______.A.digital computersB.the future of computerputer scienceputer and teachers.第70题：The word "digitize" (Para. 2, sentence 5) means______.A.controlB.convert data into numbersC.make use ofD.manipulate第71题：Which of the following statements is NOT true?puters are electronic digital ones.B.Teachers use computers in their work.puter enables artists to produce a copy of a photograph.puter has a close relationship with most people.第72题：The remainder of this article will deal with______.A.digital computersB.analog computersC.electronic scienceD.mathematicsPassage FourWhy has the kiwi survived while its relatives the moas have become extinct? One reason, I think, is that it has adopted nocturnal(夜间活动的) habits. Kiwis are not normally about in the daytime. During the daylight hours they lie up in hiding, where enemies have no hope of finding them. Their coloration protects them; the strange drab(黄褐色的) feathering, so unlike that of most birds, gives them a cloak(伪装)of invisibility while they sleep. And when night falls, out they come to scratch in the ground and find worms and feed to their hearts' content.They couldn't do that so effectively if they didn't have another peculiarity that I have not mentioned yet. The nostrils(鼻孔) of most birds open high up near the base of the beak(猛禽的嘴), but the kiwi wears his nostrils right near the tip of the long bill. That's good for a bird that feeds in the ground at night. The kiwi's .sight is poor at the best of times, but his sense of smell is acute and so is the sense of touch in the tip of that long bill. He can scratch in the forest floor with his eyes closed, and the, delicate sense located at the beak, tip will feel the slightest movement of a worm(蠕虫). Most of those things have an odour(气味) of some kind, which the kiwi can smell better than we can. And when he either feels or smells something worthwhile in the way of food, the delicate bill is ready to pick it up and swallow it.You see, in spite of his primitiveness, he is peculiarly and efficiently equipped for the particular way of life — better equipped than any of his competitors — and so he is able to keep ahead of them, But every time we, fell a forest tree, or open wooded land for cultivation, we axe reducing the kiwi's chance of survival, because his undoubted talents axe useful to him only under special conditions, and if those conditions axe not maintained, out he goes like a candle.第73题：The kiwi is very difficult to find during the daylight hours because ______.A.it stays out of sight and sleeps during the dayB.it usually goes from place to place during the dayC.it changes the colour of its feather in the daytimeD.it is caught and eaten by its enemy in the daytime第74题：Which statement is TRUE of the kiwi?A.It has long legs but a short bill.B.Its nostrils axe at the base of the bill.C.Its sense of touch is in the tip of the bill.D.It uses its feet to pick up food.第75题：The kiwi can feed at night because ______.A.it can see worms clearly at nightB.it has strong legs and feetC.most worms come out of the earth at nightD.its sense of smell and sense of touch at the beak-tip are very keen第76题：According to the writer, the kiwi's chance of survival will be reduced if we ______.A.continue to clear woodland for farmingB.take no steps to kill its enemiesC.keep observing it in its natural surroundingsD.do not equip it for its particular way of lifePassage FiveHow physically attractive someone is plays a major role in determining your ideas about the desirability of developing an acquaintance or a friendship with that person. Attractiveness seems to influence our perception of others' traits. Attractive people are judged to be more poised, sociable, independent, interesting, exciting, and to have greater sexual warmth.In one study concerned with the importance of physical attractiveness, Karen Dion and her colleagues asked university students to rate a series of photographs of both males and females as high, average, or low in physical attractiveness. The photos were then passed onto another group of students, who were asked to rate those pictures on a number of personality traits and to predict future events in their lives. The results showed that, regardless of whether the rater(评判人) was the same or the opposite sex as the subject, attractive people of both sexes were rated as having more socially desirable personality traits than less attractive people. In addition, attractive people were predicted to havegreater personal happiness and more prestigious future occupations than less attractive people.These impressions of beautiful people do not suddenly appear during adolescence. As early as age 4 or 5, attractive children are more popular with their peers than their unattractive counter parts. Adults also form more favorable impressions of attractive children. In one study, women read a description of an aggressive act performed by a 7-year-old child. The description was ac companied by a photograph of either an attractive child or an unattractive one.. When the women were asked to describe the child whose picture they had seen, they characterized the unattractive child as bratty(讨厌的), selfish, and antisocial. The attractive child was likely to be excused for aggressive acts because these were assumed to be deviations(偏离) from the youngster's usual behavior.Attractive people are apparently not unaware of their effect on other people. Being attractive may help determine the way that people actually behave as well a show they are perceived. Attractive males are more assertive(武断的) than less attractive males. They also have less fear of rejection and have more of their social interactions with females than with males. Attractive females are not as assertive as females who are less attractive, but both groups of women have an equal number of social interactions.第77题：What did Karen Dion's study show? ______第78题：What does the word "subject" (Para. 2) mean in the passage? ______第79题：Why did the women characterize the unattractive child as bratty, selfish and antisocial? ________第80题：What can you learn from the last paragraph?______翻译第81题：The American economic system is organized around a basicallyprivate-enterprise, market oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition. with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services axe produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen m maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes,that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it. ___________写作第82题：Directions: Write a summary of the following passage in no less than 80 words. Your summary should contain the main ideas of the original passage and be clearly written down on the AN SWER SHEET.In addition to food and shelter, man has a third basic need. This is clothing.Modern man wears clothing for three purposes: for protection, for decoration, and for modesty. It is thought that prehistoric man wore clothing for a fourth reason, as a kind of magic. For example, he may have worn the skins of animals either to celebrate his victories over them, or perhaps to gain strength and wisdom from the animals he had killed.Until fairly recently it was possible to use only natural materials of various kinds for the making of clothing. Both plants and animals supply these natural materials. From plants we get cotton and linen. From animals we get such materials as wool, silk, leather and furs.Wool was one of the first fibers to be used for cloth, and for a long time it was the most common textile fiber in Europe. The fiber which we call wool comes mainly from sheep, but the hair of a few other animals is also used for cloth.Cotton has been used for over three thousand years, especially in warm countries. Cotton material was not known in Europe until much later. Material made from the cotton plant can be very soft, cool and comfortable. The finest cotton materials were very expensive at one time, and only the rich people could buy them. Two other fibers, linen and silk, have also been used extensively in the making of clothing.In addition to the natural materials from plants and animals, modern man now has cloth which is made synthetically.In the twentieth century, man has learned to create completely synthetic fibers. These are made from coal, glass, petroleum, milk and wood. Nylon, dacron and orlon are the names of a few of these synthetic fibers. Recent synthetic products include disposable paper clothing and artificial leather.In many ways synthetic fibers are much better than natural fibers. It is possible to create specific fibers to be used for specific purposes. Of all the fibers now used by man, a very large percentage is man-made. __________。
