(從下列每篇短文的問題后所給的四個(gè)選擇項(xiàng)中選出一個(gè)最佳答案，并在答題紙上將相應(yīng)的字母涂黑)

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty.five.On being asked his opinion，he said，“Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral.If l were to make a choice between them，1 would rather choose the latter.Anyway, it’s better to live than not to live at all.”

A lively discussion followed.A banker who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out，“It’s a lie.I bet you two millions.You wouldn’t stick in a cell even for five years.”

“If you mean it，”replied the young lawyer, “I bet I'll stay there longer;make it fifteen instead of five.”

“Fifteen! Done!” cried the banker.“Gentleman，I bet you two millions.”

“Agreed.Two millions for my freedom，”said the lawyer.

So this wild，ridiculous bet came to pass.The banker could not hide his excitement.During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, “Come to your senses，young man，before it’s too late.Two millions are nothing to me，but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life.I say three or four because you’11 never stick it out any longer.Don’t forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one.The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell.I pity you.”

And now the banker, pacing from comer to corner, recalled all this and asked

himself , “Why did I make this bet? What’s the good? The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions.Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life?N0，no! Rubbish! On my part，it was the caprice(心血來潮)of a well—fed millionaire;on the lawyer’s part.It's the pure greed of gold.”

C.the lawyer would give up in l 5 years

D.the lawyer would give up before 5 years

25.In the end，the banker considers his bet with the lawyer____

C.beneficial D.unreasonable

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Online learning is also called distance education，which helps students who talk in classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree. And it has become more and more popular with both young people and education institutions.

The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University Manhattan began online classes in l 992.Its Virtual School has taught more than 10000 students from across the United States and other countries.

Last year, the school launched NYU Online.It offers NYU's first online programs for a bachelor's degree. Programs are offered in three areas：leadership and management，information systems management and social sciences. The classes are highly interactive, where students communicate with each other and their teachers.Some classes require students to log in at the same time SO they can attend live lectures by a professor.Students call also ask questions and work together on team projects.

The cost to attend NYU Online depends on how many classes a student is to take.It costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year.NYU offers no financial aid for international students in this program.If you are interested in the program，you Can get more details at the website：www.nyu.edu.

Many other schools，too，offer online education.Students should be especially careful of programs that offer a degree in return for little or no work.These are known as diploma mills，and are illegal in the United States.

Educational advisers also say that before you enter any program，make sure the work will be recognized in your country.You should also make sure the schools you are officially approved.

26. The third paragraph is mainly about the ____ of the programs of the school.

A.academic goal and system

B.courses and learning mode

C.1earning methods and classes

D.courses and requirements

27. It can be inferred from the passage that international students in the programs____.

A.get full scholarship

B.pay no tuition

C.get no financial support

D.earn more money

28.Many American schools offer online programs，and international students____.

C.should know about programming

30.The payment for online programs of NYUT is based on____.

A.the number of classes a student attends

B.the number of students a professor instructs

C.the number of semesters a student spends

D.the number of presentations a student makes

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

An understanding of man’s effect on the balance of nature is crucial(關(guān)鍵的)to being able to find the appropriate remedial action.It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.This is not true.The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature.Developing countries do have an effect on their environment，but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.

For example，tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature，yet we are destroying them at a great rate.They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country, but to satisfy the needs of rich countries.Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper;in Papua New Guinea，forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese electronic products;in Burma and Thailand，forests have been destroyed to produce more attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong.Therefore，a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself.

In short，it is everybody’s duty to safeguard the future of mankind--not only through population control，but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature.Nature is both fragile and powerful.It is very easily destroyed;on the other hand，it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy—man.

31.According to the first paragraph，people usually believe that____.

A.poor people in poor countries contribute to the imbalance of nature

B.rich people know how to protect the environment by taking actions

C.people in poor areas know a lot about the birth control

D.rich people in rich countries have done a lot to balance nature

32.In the author’s opinion，____.

A.developing countries should be responsible for environmental problems

B.overpopulation in the world is created by the developed countries

C.rich countries exercise worse influence on environment than poor countries

D.all countries should bring the population growth under control

33.The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate ____.

A.how the forests in the U.S.are being destroyed

B.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature

C.what Japan has done to develop its own economy

D.how South Asian countries make quality furniture

34.Nature is very easily destroyed by____.

A.rich people B.poor people

C.natural disasters D.mankind

35.The topic of the passage is that ____.

A.the control of population is essential to the development of a nation

B.natural resources are important to the economic development of a country

C.awareness of the effects of man’s actions is as important as population control

D.developed countries should do more to protect natural environment on the earth

將下列短文譯成漢語并將答案寫在答題紙上。

When you turn on the television，put on your shoes or drive to a store，you're using energy.Energy is one of the most fundamental forces in the world. Animals use energy to walk and run.Trees and plants use energy to grow.People use it to work and play.Energy is everywhere in nature--in the light of the sun，in the wind，in the forest，in water currents and erupting volcanoes.Without energy, there is no life.We use our own energy constantly and we continually make use of all kinds of energy.

Energy can be divided into two different types：stored energy and dynamic energy.Stored energy is called potential energy, and the latter refers to energy in motion.If you stretch out a rubber band，this produces potential energy.If you let it go，it moves and produces the dynamic energy.
