第二部分：閱讀理解（20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的a、b、c、d四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。ai hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling(背叛). i wish it were so. at your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. you should be learning to stand on your own feet. but take a good look at the present rebellion. it seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. instead of striking out boldly on their own， most of them are holding one anothers hands for reassurance（放心）.they claim they want to dress as they please. but they all wear the same clothes. they set off in new directions in music. but they all end up listening to the same record. their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. they have come out of their cocoon（繭）into a larger cocoon.it has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. these days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. this is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.but the barrier is worth climbing over. the path is worth following. you may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. you may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. you may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. well，go to it. find yourself. be yourself. popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.36. the authors purpose in writing this passage is to tell_. a. readers how to be popular with people around b. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves c. parents how to control and guide their children d. people how to understand and respect each other37. according to the author，many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own，but in fact most of them_. a. have much difficulty understanding each other b. lack confidence c. dare not cope with any problems alone d. are very much afraid of getting lost 38. which of the following is not true according to the passage？ a. there is no popularity that really counts. b. many parents think that their children are challenging their authority. c. it is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates. d. most teenagers are actually doing the same. 39. the main idea of the last paragraph is that a teenager should_. a. differ from others in as many ways as possible b. become popular with others c. find his real self d. rebel against his parents and the popularity wavebmuch unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. computers are often used as part of automated production systems requiring a least possible number of operators，causing the loss of many jobs. this has happened，for example，in many steelworks.on the other hand，computers do create jobs. they are more skilled and better paid，though fewer in number than those they replace. many activities could not continue in their present form without computers， no matter how many people are employed. examples are the check clearing（交換）system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.when a firm introduces computers，a few people are usually employed in key posts（such as jobs of operation managers）while other staff are retrained as operators，programmers，and data preparation staff. after the new system has settled down，people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave， resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. this decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial (多的)increase in the activity of the firm，resulting from the introduction of computers.the attitudes of workers towards computers vary. there is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers，making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.on the other hand，many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. they realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity，which will improve the condition of the whole economy，and lead to the creation of more jobs. this view was supported by the former british prime minister， james callaghan in 1979，when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity，which will benefit the economy in the long run.40. the unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from_. a. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introduction b. their use as part of automated production systems c. the least possible number of operators d. the production system in steelworks41. the underlined word “they” refers to_. a. computers b. jobs c. activities d. systems42. according to the passage， what results from the introduction of computers？ a. after retraining，all employees in the firm get new jobs. b. a considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts. c. the decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities. d. the firm keeps all of its original staff members.43. james callaghans attitude towards computers can be best described as_. a. doubtful b. regretful c. unfriendly d. supportivecthe vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet ,including a variety of fruits and green vegetables. it is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.an example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as“beri-beri”. it used to distress large numbers of eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. in the early years of this century, a scientist named eijkman was trying to discover the cause of “beri-beri”.at first he thought it was caused by a germ. he was working in a japanese hospital，where the patients were fed on polished rice which had the outer husk （外殼）removed from the grain. it was thought this would be easier for weak and sick people to digest.eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard， which were fed on leftovers from the patients plates，were also showing signs of the disease. he then tried to isolate the germ，but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official，who declared that the polished rice，even though left over by the patients，was too good for chickens. it should be recooked for the patients， and the chickens should be fed on cheap rice with the outer layer still on the grain.eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. he began to consider the possibility that eating unpolished rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri even that a lack of some element in the husk might be the cause of the disease. indeed this was the case. the element needed to prevent “beri-beri” was shortly afterwards isolated from the husks and is now known as vitamin b. nowadays，this terrible disease is much less common thanks to our knowledge of vitamins.44. a good mixed diet_. a. normally contains enough vitamins b. still needs special provision of vitamins c. is suitable for losing weight d. is composed of fruits and vegetables45. the disease “beri-beri”_. a. kills large numbers of eastern peoples b. is a vitamin lacking disease c. is caused by diseased rice d. can be caught from diseased chickens46. the chickens eijkman noticed in the hospital yard_. a. couldnt digest the polished rice b. proved “beri-beri” is caused by germs c. were later cooked for the patients food d. were suffering from “beri-beri”47. according to eijkman， polished rice_.a. was cheaper than unpolished rice b. was less nutritious than unpolished ace c. was more nourishing than unpolished rice d. cured “beri-beri”das she walked around the huge department store, edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable christmas present for her father. she wished that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume .besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.partly to have a rest, edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. they are real silk, the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. worth double the price. but edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.she moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. she found some good quality pipes on sale-and the prices were very reasonable. edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him.when she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, your father has at last decided to stop smoking. she informed her daughter.48. ediths father _.a. did not like presents b. never got presentsc. preferred ties d. was difficult to choose a present for49. the assistant spoke to edith because she seemed_.a. attractive b. interested in ties c. tired d. in need of comfort50. edith stopped at the next counter_.a. purposely b. suddenly c. unwillingly d. accidentally51. shopping was very disagreeable at that time of the year because_.a. customers were doing their shopping in a great hurryb. customers poked each other with their elbowsc. customers knocked each otherd customers trod on each others toeseif the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. by the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. but none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. one possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by an american scientist, professor carl sagan.sagan believes that before the earths resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. the difficulty is that venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen should be bred in conditions similar to those on venus. as soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. spaceship will then fly to venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. in a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.when the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. the surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on venus.52. carl sagan believes that
