Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the center. Passage One Questions 11 to 15 are based on thefollowing passage: People living on parts of the south coast ofEnglandface a serious problem. In 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of severalhouses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappearedovernight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they hadbeen built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and severalhouses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea. Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along thesouth coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more seriousin recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has creptfarther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected andhave drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homeswill be swallowed up by the hungry sea. Angry owners have called on the Governmentto erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointedout that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundredsof millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go furtheralong the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger islikely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rockwhich will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheaphouse with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatenedareas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdownhome. 11. What is the cause of theproblem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? A)The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens. B)The experts’ lack of knowledge. C)The rising of the sea level. D)The washing-away of limestone cliffs. 12. Theerosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ___________________. A)will soon become a problem for people living in central England B)has now become a threat to the local residents C)is quickly changing the map of England D)can be stopped if proper measures are taken 13. Theexperts’ study on the problem of erosion can _____________________. A)lead to its eventual solution B)provide an effective way to slow it down C)help to prevent it from worsening D)warn people whose homes are in danger 14. Itis not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because_____________. A)it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areas B)the government is too slow in taking action C)they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents D)house agents along the coast do not support the idea 15. According to the author,when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should___________________. A)be aware of the potential danger involved B)guard against being cheated by the house agent C)take the quality of the house into consideration D)examine the house carefully before making a decision Passage Two Questions 16 to 20 are based on thefollowing passage: Sport is not only physically challenging,but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, andother teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount ofanxiety or stress for young athletes（运动员）. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and researchhas indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described asdropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development arecritical years for learning abut oneself. The sport setting is one wherevaluable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn howto cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that willbe used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at alltimes, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children.Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷）in themselves. Coaches and parents should also becautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. Theoutcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learningthe sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, youngathletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselvesand the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcomeand find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should beprovided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positivereinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout. 16. Aneffective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is __________________. A)to make sports less competitive B)to make sports more challenging C)to reduce their mental stress D)to increase their sense of success 17. Accordingto the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____________. A)it can help them learn more about society B)it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves C)it enables them to find flaws in themselves D)it can provide them with valuable experiences 18. Manycoaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes ________. A)without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence B)in order to make them remember life’s lessons C)believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development D)so as to put more pressure on them 19. Accordingto the passage parents and coaches should _______________. A)help children to win every game B)pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports C)enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports D)train children to cope with stress 10. Theauthor’s purpose in writing the passage is _________________. A)to persuade young children not to worry about criticism B)to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children C)to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement D)to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout Passage Three Questions 21 to 25 are based on thefollowing passage: Humanity uses a little less than half thewater available worldwide. Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts（干旱）are causing famine and distressin some areas, and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting watersupplies. Since the world’ population is expected to double in the next 50years, many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis. But that doesn’t have to be the outcome.Water shortages do not have to trouble the world — if we start valuing watermore than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate petroleum moreafter the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from a fresheconomic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtuallyfree resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want. Instead, for all uses except the domesticdemand of the poor, governments should price water to reflect its actual value.This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs. Governments should also protect thisresource by providing water in more economically and environmentally soundways. For example. often the cheapest way to provide irrigation（灌溉）water in the dry tropics isthrough small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions（凹地）and pumping it to nearbycropland. No matter what steps governments take toprovide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legalapproaches to water sue. Rather than spread control among hundreds or eventhousands of local, regional, and national agencies that watch various aspectsof water use, countries should set up central authorities to coordinate waterpolicy. 21. Whatis the real cause of the potential water crisis? A)The world population is increasing faster and faster. B)Half of the world’s water resources have been seriously polluted. C)Humanity has not placed sufficient value on water resources. D)Only half of the world’s water can be used. 22. Asindicated in the passage, the water problem __________. A)has been exaggerated by some experts in the field B)is underestimated by government organizations at different levels C)poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirs D)is already serious in certain parts of the world 23. Accordingto the author, the water price should ___________. A)correspond to its real value B)be reduced to the minimum C)stimulate domestic demand D)take into account the occurrences of droughts 24. Theauthor says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to __________. A)build big lakes to store water B)construct big pumping stations C)channel water from nearby rivers to cropland D)build small and cheap irrigation systems 25. Inorder to raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to_______. A)centralize the management of water resources B)increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels C)guarantee full protection of the environment D)encourage local and regional control of water resources Passage Four Questions 26 to 30 are based on thefollowing passage: We can see how the product life cycleworks by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced,most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee, and it took severalyears to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though,instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced(stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand andsales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline（衰退）when freeze-dried coffees wereintroduced (stage of decline). The importance of the product life cycleto marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call fordifferent strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales andprofits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It meansthat marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know,for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today wereoriginally designed for the military? Market modification also means searchingfor increased usage among present customers or going for a different market,such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal tonew market sections. Another product extension strategy iscalled product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, orstyle to attract new users or more usage from present users. American automanufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture worldmarkets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramaticallyfrom year to year to keep demand from falling. 26. According to the passage,when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will_________________. A)decrease gradually B)remain at the same level C)become unstable D)improve enormously 27. Thefirst paragraph tells us that a new product is __________________. A)not easily accepted by the public B)often inferior to old ones at first C)often more expensive than old ones D)usually introduced to satisfy different tastes 28. Marketersneed to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to ____________. A)promote its production B)work out marketing policies C)speed up its life cycle D)increase its popularity 29.
