or answer the questions with the correct choice. Write your right letter on the Answer Sheet

:(20% )

Passage 1 Time was-and not so many years ago, either-when the average citizen took

a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small

extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be-and a few still are-forbidding

structures. Behind the little barred windows were , more often than not, elderly gentlemen

whose expression of friendliness showed the size of the customer‘s account, and nothing less

than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile. And

yet the average bank for many years was , to the average citizen , a fearful, if necessary,

instrument for dealing business-usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century,

banks began to grow human , even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is

possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns , or in small towns where people

know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns, at any rate, the results

have been remarkable. The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a big push during

the war , when more and more women were hired to do work previously performed by men. Also

more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became

heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held

view that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people

began to discover that the wise use of credit (信用卡) could be extremely helpful. 1.The

author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to

_____. A. unfriendliness of customers toward banks B. the outer appearance of bank buildings

C. economic pressure of the time D. the attitude of bankers

2.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in _____. A. regular visitors B.

elderly gentlemen C. friendly businessmen D. rich customers 3.When did banks begin to

grow human?

A. During the war. B. A few years ago. C. Some time before the war. D. In the

last century. 4.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks ?

A. More and more “little” people became customers of banks. B. The elderly gentlemen

in banks were replaced by women. C. Most banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.

D. The size of the customer‘s account was greatly increased. 5.Average people seldom borrowed

money from banks in the past because _____. A. the bank buildings looked forbidding B. they

were comparatively rich before the war C. they rarely spent more than they could earn D. they

thought it was not proper to be in debt Passage 2 The Gulf War changed the lives of ordinary

people, many of whom lived far from Kuwait or Iraq. In this eight-part series, correspondents

visit individuals and families who have had to alter completely their plans and life styles

as a result of the war. We hear , for example, from an Iraqi Kurdish family who escaped

across the snow-covered mountains to Turkey , losing everything they had accumulated over

more than 20 years. John Renner visits them in their small tent in the heat and dust of a

refugee camp where they are desperately hoping that some Western country will offer them shelter.

There is a Palestinian family which lived and worked in Kuwait and cannot return. They have

lost friends, family , their living and a way of life. And what about the US serviceman

and his family who had heard little about Kuwait before the invasion? Do they think it worthwhile

and how easy was it to fit back into their old routine(日常事务) after their experiences

of the war?

John Renner meets an Asian maid who worked in the Gulf and supported her family at

home with her salary. Is she thinking of going back , or has she been put off by the experience

of escaping and the horror stories of exploitation(剥削) in Kuwait?

These are just some of the people who are heard in the series which are produced by

Lindsey Hilsum. 6.Which is the best suggested title ?

A.A Just War B.A War , Worthless and Meaningless C.A War, Doubted but Rewarding D.

After the War Was Over 7.This is an introduction to _____. A. a film B. a TV program

C. a book D. a radio program 8.The program consists of _____ series and a number of

interviews with _____. A. eight , different individuals and families B. four , some individuals

who escaped from Kuwait C. eight, U.S.serviceman D. four , some Kurdish families 9.John

Renner is _____. A. a U.S. serviceman B. a correspondent C. a producer D. a Kuwait

worker 10.Which of the following implications is NOT true ?

A. People have to adjust themselves to suit the new routine of their life. B. People

who have experienced the War have difficulty in returning to their old style of life C. The

War has only had some physical effect on the people involved. D. The War has cast a big shadow

over people‘s hearts. Passage 3 Between 1977 and 1981 ,three groups of American women, numbering

27 in all ,between the ages of 35 and 65 ,were given month-long tests to determine how they

would respond to conditions resembling those aboard the space shuttle (航天飞机)。

Though carefully selected from among many applicants, the women were volunteers

(志愿者) and pay was barely above the minimum wage. They were not permitted to smoke or

drink alcohol during the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each other‘s company at

close quarters for the entire period. Among other things, they had to stand pressure three

times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while tired from hard

physical exercise. At the end of ten days , they had to spend a further twenty days absolutely

confined to bed , during which time they suffered backaches and other discomforts and when

they were finally allowed up, the more physically active women were especially subject to

pains due to a slight calcium (钙) loss. Results of the tests suggest that women will have

significant virtues over men in space. They need less food and less oxygen and they stand

up to radiation better. Men‘s virtues in terms of strength and vigor meanwhile, are virtually

wiped out by the zero-gravity condition in space. 11.Which of the following can be inferred

from the passage?

A. The women were tested once a year from 1977 to 1981. B. The women involved had

had previous physical fitnees training C. The tests were not carried out aboard the space

shuttle. D. The tests were carried out on women of all ages. 12.Which would be the most suitable

title for the passage ?

A. Older Women, too, Can Travel in Space B. Tests Show Women Suited for Space Travel

C. Poor Wages for Women Space-Test Volunteers D. Space Testing Causes Backaches in Women

13.What can be said about the women who applied ?

A. They chose to participate in the tests. B. There were anxious to give up either

smoking or drinking. C. They had previously earned the minimum wage. D. There were 27 in all.

14.According to the passage , physical and mental tasks were carried out by the women _____.

A. prior to strenuous exercise B. after they were subjected to unusual pressure C. before

they were subjected to unusual pressure D. following strenuous exercise 15.Which of the following

is suggested as being least useful in space ?

A. High resistance to radiation. B. Low food intake. C. Unusual strength. D. Low Oxygen

intake. Passage 4 George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food

for animals and humans. Carver‘s first step was to study plant parts to find out what they

were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other substances to

create new products. The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials

from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of the first

and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today , the science of chemurgy is better known as

the science of synthetics (人造合成)。Each day people depend on and use synthetic materials

made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials,

and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes (替代品)for the natural substances

being used up by humans. Carver never cared about getting credit(荣誉) for the new products

he created. He never tried to patent(申请专利) his discoveries or get wealthy from them.

He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a rich scientist in private

industry. Thomas Edison , inventor of the electric light , offered him a laboratory in Detroit

to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a collaborator (合

作者) in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agriculture, he accepted

the position with the understanding that he wouldn‘t have to leave Tuskegee. An authority

on plant diseases-especially of the fungus variety-Carver sent hundreds of specimens to the

United States Department of Agriculture. At the peak of his carreer , Carver‘s fame and influence

were known on every continent. 16.The passage is mainly concerned with _____. A. the use of

plants as a source of nutrition B. the research conducted at Tuskegee Institute C. the progress

of the science of synthetics D. the work and career of George Washington Carver 17.In Line

2 ,the word “step” could best be replaced by _____. A. footprint B. action C. scale D.

stair 18.According to the passage , chemurgy can be defined as the _____. A. development

of industrial products from farm products B. research on chemistry of the soil C. study of

the relationship between sunlight and energy D. combination of chemistry and metallurgy 19.The

author mentions Thomas Edison‘s offer to Carver in order to _____. A. contrast Edison’s contribution

with that of Carver B. portray the wealth of one of Carver‘s competitors C. illustrate one

of Carver‘s many opportunities D. describe Carver’s dependence on industrial support 20.Which

of the following is NOT discussed in the passage as work done by Carver ?

A. Research on electricity B. Analysis of plant parts C. Invention of new products D.

Research on plant diseasesⅦ。Translate the following into English with words or phrases given
