Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passage in this part. 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.
Passage 1
Questions 1-5 are based on this passage
Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. 76) In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in - and also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.
1. What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?
A. They help him make money.
B. They give him wood and other products.
C. They help him prevent droughts and floods.
D. They give him shade.
2. Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?
A. New trees are not looked after properly.
B. Many trees have been cut down by man.
C. Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.
D. All of the above.
3. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?
A. Because an empire was set up.
B. Because the empire fell to pieces.
C. Because it lost all its trees.
D. Because too much had been spent on wars.
4. Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?
A. Because nothing remains on land except floods.
B. Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.
C. Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.
D. Because roots of the trees break up the soil.
5. What does the author tell us in this passage?
A. How trees help prevent droughts and floods.
B. The relationship between trees and man.
C. How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.
D. A story of trees.
Passage 2
Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage
People travel for a lot of reason. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
77) Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
78) But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
6. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots.
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs.
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.
7. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned .
A. to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.
B. to tell us how wealthy their residents are.
C. to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
D. to prove that they have got more tourism than they an handle.
8. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
A. Italy B. Spain C. France D. Greece
9. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, i. e., "or one tourist for every person living in Spain" means .
A. all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.
B. every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.
C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.
D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.
10. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists ' fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water B. Crowded buses
C. Traffic jams D. Rainy weather
Passage 3
Questions 11-15 are based on the passage
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as only as you're not held up at the airport), but it's an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you say. Well wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.
This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. 79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧共体)? Well, perhaps. The main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland(船坞地). A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使…重新具有活力)the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. 80) With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!
11. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.
B. The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.
C. It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.
D. A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.
12. A tunnel would be .
A. less expensive to be built than a bridge
B. more expensive to be built than a bridge
C. less expensive to be built than a rail
D. more expensive to be built than a rail
13. If they built a Channel tunnel, you would .
A. neither take a train nor go by car
B. either take a train or go by car
C. only take a train
D. only take a bus
14. It can be concluded that many of London's dockyards are .
A. not used
B. fully used
C. seriously blocked
D. opened again
15. Channel link would .
A. allow us to by fish and chips in France
B. make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and faster
C. decrease more trade for London's dockyards
D. make London more prosperous again

lift raise rear elevate hoist
这组动词的一般含义是"提起","举起"。
lift 强调"提升很重的或者抬起比较重的东西",当用于比喻时,可以指雄伟高大的建筑物或大山的"高耸入云"
The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal.
现在必须垂直着提升馅饼盘,因为盘的一边靠在运河的侧面上。

…there was tremendous excitement on board when a chest was raised from the bottom……。
当从海底提上来一只箱子时,船上出现了极为兴奋的场面。
Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another.
我们的牧师老是在为这桩或那桩事募款。
rear和raise在文学语言中常互换使用。在表示养育儿童时,rear 为美国南方各州惯用词
She bore three children and reared (or reaised) two of them.
她生过三个孩子,养大了两个。
elevate 一般具有lift和raise的含义,但elevate 常用于抽象概念的提高,如"提高文学鉴赏力","提高情操"等
Good reading elerates the mind.
读好书可以提高情操。
hoist 尤指"以机械提升重物"
The cargo was soon hoisted into the ship.
贷物很快就被吊进船舱。
change alter vary modify

然后他换上工装裤,作为清洁工人度过接下去的八小时。
alter 所表示的"改变"只是细节的,或外表的变化,并不表示本质的改变。如:把一件衣服改小一些或只把衣袖稍放肥一些,但衣服的式样仍然不变,这时用alter便很确当
He may gently reprimand an official or even suggest to parliament that a law be alltered.
他可以温和地指责一个官员,或者甚至建议议会修改法律条款。
vary 一般表示转换、变易、增生所致的"变化"或"不同"

他所采取的行动,根据怨言的性质,而有所不同。
modify 主要用来表示有局限性的"改变",当用于事物时,它所表示的"改变",在程度上要大于 alter, 在用于人的态度时,它仅仅表示略加修饰,并不含有很大的变化
The industrial revolution modified the whole structure of English society.
工业革命变革了英国的整个社会结构。
change alter vary
都含"改变"的意思 .
change 指"使改变得与原物完全不同"或"使发生以新代旧的变化",如:

forbid ban prohibit 都含"禁止"的意思。
forbid
系常用词, 指"命令某人不做某事", 如:

prohibit
指"通过法律或政府法令禁止", 如:

allow 指"并不反对"或"不加阻止", 偏重"默许"或"听任", 含义较消极, 如:

let 是三个词中最不正式的, 较口语化, 而语意最弱, 指"给予可能或同意", 有时含"难以阻止或限制"之意, 如:

让他等一等。
Let , allow, permit, grant这组动词都有"允许"或"让"的意思。
let 是个普通词,常要求复合宾语,在不定式作宾语补足语时,总省去不定式符号to,有时在一定的上下文中可省去宾语补足语:let, allow这两个动词都有"让"或"允许"的意思,仔细研究后可以看到许多情况下,这两个词并不能通用。let 所表示的"允许"含有"不阻止"(notto prevent)的意思,如:
Let’s go into the garage and have a look at it.
咱们到汽车修配厂去看看吧。
She said her future husband would not let her make another film.

注:let somebody do something(让某人做某事)作宾语补足语的不定式省去to,而allow somebody to do something(让某人做某事)作宾语补足语的不定式带to.allow与permit也可以用于allow(permit)somebody to do something的句子结构, 但也可以要求简单宾语或表示行为的名词作宾语。这三个词都能表示"没能阻止"或"不去阻止",但是let并不包含allow和permit所共有的这层含义:有能力、有权威不去禁止或不去防止某事,有时表示由于笨拙疏忽而放过去,如:
The teacher allows too much noise in the classroom
那位老师听任教室内有过分的嘈杂声。
He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.
他应该知道,警察是不会允许这种事情的。
