The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them. To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?

These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.

For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石)fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.

Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants bum almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.

第 16 题单选 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage? A.The shortage of energy and air pollution.

B.The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage. C.Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.

第 17 题单选 Which of the following is not the result of burning garbage? A.The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.

Passage 3

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 155 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France, since each American city has its own daily

newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or cite news.

Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the "sensational", which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give in-formation, for they have to compete with television.

Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.

As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.

第 21 题单选 There are fewer national newspapers in

A. Britain than in the USA

B. France than in Britain

A. they have to keep up a good relation with them

B. they have to compete with television

C. they have to write about crime, sex and rumor

D. they have to give factual news in an interesting way 参考答案：B

第 23 题单选 Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by

A. supporting extremist groups from time to time

B. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them

C. avoiding carrying articles about extremists

D. printing articles representing different political viewpoints 参考答案：D

第 24 题单选 In this passage, the word "press" ( Para. 2) means

A.a machine for printing B.the business of printing

C.great force D.newspapers 参考答案：D

第 25 题单选 The passage is mainly about

A. the characteristics of American newspapers

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end—with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus win-dow. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste. "" Drink Root Beer. " "Fill up with Pacific Gas. " Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of "You Need It! Buy It Now !

The beginning of the fide is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you' ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed--new houses, new buildings, sometimes even anew road.

Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the fight or the left-hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping

No one knows exactly when jazz was 52 , or by whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1900s. Jazz is America’s contribution to popular music.

Part V Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWERSHEET.

第 61 题简答 The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the fight to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these fights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children's Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

参考答案：所有儿童共同拥有的东西就是他们的权利。每个儿童都有权利生存、茁壮成长、接受教育、免受暴力和虐待以及参与并发表意见。这些都是固有的人权，就像成年人拥有的那些权利一样不可剥夺。但直到 l989 年之前，这些权利没有得到一项具有法律约束力的文书正式阐明，各国政府也不为促进每个儿童的这些权利充分问责。这一切在 25 年前的国际儿童日发生了变化，当时联合国通过了《儿童权利公约》。《公约》迅速成为历史上获得最广泛批准的人权条约。

Part Ⅵ Writing

lmpor-tang of Self-confidence". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition onthe outline given in Chinese below:

1. 凡事均应有信心;

2. 自信心的重要性;

3. 有了正确的态度，建立信心是可能的。

参考答案：The Importance of Self-confidence Self-confidence is very important to our life.As a wise man once said，“If you have no confidence in yourself，you are twice defeated in the race of life.With confidence，you have won even before you have started.”

If you are full of self-confidence，your creativeness，your enthusiasm will all be aroused，and you will overcome difficulties.As a result，your dreams will come true.On the contrary，if you have no confidence in yourself， there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you.But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself.You should know both your weaknesses and strengths.Only after this can you be well in doing great things.

Try something you’ve never done before.Just taking on a challenge，whether you succeed or not，can increase your confidence.In a word，self-confidence is greatly important to our success.
