But the conversation soon turned into complaints about 2 in work and in life. To offer his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 3 with a large pot of coffee and different types of 4 -plastic, glass, crystal, some nice-looking, some plain-looking, some expensive, some cheap-telling them to help 5 to the coffee. 6 all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, "If you 7 , you might find all the nice-looking, expensive cups are taken up, with the plain and cheap ones 8 .

| Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places? Saki Kuroda, 24 Schoolteacher (Japanese nonsmoker) Yes. It should be banned. Smoking is not only bad for the smoker's health, but also for nonsmokers through passive smoking. In public people should think about others. Alex Wright, 23 Teacher (American nonsmoker) I don't smoke. However, I don't really care if people smoke around me. Leave them alone. They have the right, and let them be. Masako Imai, 24 Phone engineer (Japanese smoker) I smoke but I think it should be banned. I really want to give up and I think that if everywhere became nonsmoking, it would make it much easier for me to do so. Luke Collings, 35 Musician (British smoker) I'm a smoker but am against others having to share my addiction. It's only a matter of time before society wakes up and realizes how addictive and destructive nicotine is. Jenny Wilcox, 31 Civil servant (British smoker) I smoke but I agree with a ban. It forces people, including me, to smoke less. I'm from London, and although smokers were against the ban at first, it now feels totally normal. Chris Kennedy, 23 Student (British nonsmoker) Walking pasta smoking area, like the one by Hachiko, feels and smells absolutely awful. At least if smokers could smoke anywhere, then it would be spread out. |

| Driving a large truck over mountain roads is not the usual way that a schoolteacher begins her day- especially if she is a preschool teacher. But Mrs. Beth Miller does this five days every week. Her unusual schoolhouse on wheels is actually a truck. The back of the truck has been made into a classroom in order to carry the advantages of modern education to remote areas of the state of West Virginia. In many rural areas of this state it is impossible for small children to go to regular schools because of the many hills and valleys of Appalachian Mountains. The purpose of the schoolhouse on wheels project is to develop basic skills and social behavior in children three to five years of age. This is done through games, exercises, toys and simple handcrafts. The schoolhouse on wheels concept also teaches the young children to recognize 300 to 400 words on the printed page. This is a great advantage in helping the pupils to learn to read when they begin regular school. In its three-year history the project has helped about 350 children in an area made up of five counties, an area of 20 000 square kilometers. The schoolhouse on wheels is part of the Appalachian Educational Laboratory, a research effort paid for by the government. Besides the mobile classroom, other parts of the program include lessons by television and visits to the homes of the students. The technique is very effective, and one teacher can do the work of seven in a traditional educational system. As a result the program costs about 50% less than the regular kindergarten. All these advantages of the schoolhouse on wheels have made both parents and school officials happy. West Virginia plans to increase the program and to include it in the public school system so that more than 4500 preschool children can have this valuable learning experience. |
| 1. Mrs. Beth Miller usually _____. |
| A. walks to begin her work B. drives a large truck to begin her work C. drives her car to the school D. carries the classroom to the school |
| 2. Children in many rural areas of West Virginia cannot go to regular schools because _____. |
| A. large trucks cannot go in mountainous areas B. there are no schoolhouses on wheels there C. there are many hills and valleys there D. preschool teachers don't like to work there |
| 3. The best title for this passage is _____. |
| A. Schoolhouse on wheels B. West Virginia C. Effective educational system D. Educational laboratory |

| We have seen that pesticides (杀虫剂) now pollute soil, water and food, and that they have the power to make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the opposite, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread throughout our world? We know that even single exposure to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers and others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen. For the population as a whole, we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that unseeably pollute our world. Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in amount over long periods of time, and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons people easily take no notice of the danger. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs," says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly come near them unnoticed." |
| 62. Which of the following can best summarize the first paragraph of this passage? |
| A. Man has a responsibility to bear for what has happened to nature. B. Possibly man will escape the effects of environmental pollution. C. Pesticide-caused pollution may also kill people. D. Man acts as if he did not belong to nature. |
| 2. People do not give enough attention to the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because _____. |
| A. limited exposure to them does little harm to people's health B. the present is more important to them than the future C. humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoning D. the danger does not become seen clearly and immediately |
| 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? |
| A. A person exposed to pesticides even once may get seriously poisoned. B. Birds are less sensitive to pesticides than humans. C. The effects of pesticides on humans do not last as long as on fish. D. Taking in small amounts of pesticides will not cause serious results. |
| 4. We can conclude from what Dr Dubos says that _____. |
| A. people usually find hidden diseases difficult to deal with B. people fail to notice hidden dangers caused by pesticides C. diseases with obvious signs are mostly easy to cure D. attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadly |

| In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rentcontrolled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs; However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if "other things are equal". Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions. |
| 1. This passage shows that setting maximum rent may _____. |
| A. encourage the construction of more apartments B. discourage the renting of apartments as homes C. reduce the shortage of apartments D. result in a shortage of apartments |
| 2. From the passage, we can infer that rent control _____. |
| A. is completely unnecessary B. will likely bring about undesired results C. will bring positive effects in the long run D. is necessary under all circumstances |
| 3. The problem of unemployment may come up when _____. |
| A. the minimum wage is set too low B. the workers are unskilled C. the minimum wage is set too high D. people need low-paying jobs |
| 4. This passage is mainly about economists disagreement on _____. |
| A. the effectiveness of government controls B. the urgency of getting rid of government controls C. the relationship between supply and demand D. the possible results of government controls |
| 5. We can conclude from the passage that _____. |
| A. the results of economic decisions can always be predicted B. predicting the results of economic decisions is something complicated C. minimum wage can not protect employees D. economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision |

| When farmers and wild animals share land, conflicts can be hard to prevent. 1._____ The FAO and other groups are developing what they call the Human-Wildlife Confict, Mitigation (缓和) Toolkit-a collection of advice and information that farmers in southern Africa have been testing. The main aim of the toolkit is to provide low-cost methods to deal with wild animals without harming them. In Zambia and Mozambique, crocodiles are blamed for more deaths than any other animal. Nile crocodiles kill an estimated three hundred people each year in Mozambique alone. 2._____ Besides, people should always enter the water several at a time, in groups armed with weapons like sticks and stones, axes and spears. The toolkit also has ideas to control baboons. These large monkeys raid crops and they can kill sheep and other livestock. One suggestion is to remove the center from a loaf of bread and hide a snake inside-a live one if possible. Baboons have a fear of snakes, 3._____ A baboon frightened by a snake sandwich will probably not come back. Another animal with a good memory-the elephant-often destroys field crops. The loss of their crops means the loss of a family's food supply. 4._____ Famers can mix pepper powder with elephant waste and form bricks. The idea is to burn these bricks around the edges of fields to keep elephants away. Farmers can also grow fields of chili peppers. Another way to control elephants is with a plastic gun. It fires balls that burst and release a chili liquid when they hit the elephant's skin. 5._____ |
| A. You might also be able to stop an elephant by shining lights in their eyes. B. But the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization is trying to help. C.
