We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator (赤道), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the NorthPole (北极)we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and I would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explorers can do so, and they use special equipment. Men have been travelling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, it is not true about landings in the polar region, but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 meters above the Pole is a delight. At 4,000 meters and move above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as your eyes can reach. In the tropics ( 热带), on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.

Aeroplanes can’t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.

"Millions do it. " in this sentence "do it" refers to ______

A.feeling uncomfortably hot on the equator

B.flying over the North Pole

C.flying over the equator

D.making homes on the equator

12、 The polar region is ______

A.a good place to land at by aeroplane

B.a good place to fly over

C.a good place to fly past

D.a good place to live in

13、 It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there ______

A.planes fly higher than at the equator

B.the eyes can reach about 4,000 meters

C.planes are clear of bad weather

D.planes fly more quickly than at the equator

14、 Aeroplanes can climb quickly ______

A.in warm air

B.in cold air

C.when it reaches the polar region

D.only when the clouds are down low

15、 Aeroplanes usually do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar region because ______

A.they do not land there

B.there are no clouds at all

C.they can cross the ice with special equipment

D.it is very cold

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people--especially young people--have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Foods which do not contain chemical additives( 添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic (有机的) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount--but not the quality--of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.

There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.

It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on "healthy eating".

People have become more interested in natural foods because __________.

A.they are more health conscious

B.they want to taste all kinds of foods

C.natural foods are more delicious than processed foods

D.they want to return to nature

17、 Soil that is rich in organic matters __________.

A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it

B.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed

C.has been nourished by fertilizers

D.already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals

18、 Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that __________.

A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbage

B.they live in very crowded condition

C.the eggs they lay lack vitamins

D.they are allowed to move about and eat freely

19、 According to the passage, __________.

A.people need sugar to give them energy

B.sugar is bad for the health

C.the use of sugar is habit forming

D.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful

20、 The best title for this passage is __________.

A.People's Growing Interest in Natural Foods

B.Natural Foods and Healthy Diet

C.Harmful Effects of Sugar

D.The Importance of Fiber in Foods

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give 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. 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 fall son hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.

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.

22、 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.

23、 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 its trees.

D.Because too much had been spent on wars.

24、 Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?

A.Because nothing remains on land except floods.

B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the topsoil.

C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the topsoil.

D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.

25、 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.

In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era( 战后时期), there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over trusting (过分信任) of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons maybe pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵).

Obviously, there would be no point in investing(投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

What is the main purpose of this passage?

A.To look back to the early days of computers.

B.To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.

C.To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.

D.To warn against the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers.

A.be reasonably doubtful about them

A.a computer used exclusively by one company for its own problems

B.a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process it

C.the most up to date in home computer a company can buy

D.a computer from the postwar era which is very reliable

29、 The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is__________

A.challenging

B.psychological

C.dramatic

D.overtrusting

30、 It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of__________

A.computer science courses in high schools

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

61、Economic development depends on the extraction of natural resources and on low-skilled labor, which has resulted in a weak manufacturing base and uneven distribution of wealth. Agriculture still accounts for the major share of rural household income and employs over 60 percent of Africa' s labor force, particularly women. Low agricultural productivity continues to threaten food security in Africa as a whole. Africa needs a green, clean industrialization that leapfrogs outdated, polluting processes and platforms and benefits from new technologies. Inclusive and sustainable industrialization is a key stepping stone towards sustained economic growth, food security and poverty eradication in Africa.
