　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

　　When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago, it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold. The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes, one of which was making pots and pans.

　　Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.

　　Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge “airbus” planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them, Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.

　　Since aluminum is such a versatile (多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite (铝土矿), which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances. As the source of aluminum is almost inexhaustible, we can expect that more and more uses will be found for this versatile metal.

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in 1907. two years later a woman, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father brought her up. She loved her father very much.

　　In response to Mrs. Dodd’s idea that same year—1909, the state governor of Washington proclaimed (宣布) the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion “to establish more intimate (亲密) relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.

　　Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or pair of socks, as well as by sending greeting cards.

　　During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day, it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.

　　Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.

　　11. When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?

　　A. 1907 B. 1909 C. 1916 D. 1924

　　12. Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?

　　A. Mrs. John Bruce Dodd B. Mrs. John Bruce’s Mother

　　C. The government of Washington. D. Some businessmen.

　　13. What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?

　　A. Lily B. Water Lily C. Red rose or white rose D. Sunflower.

　　14. Which statement is true, a according to this passage?

　　A. It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.

　　B. The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.

　　C. Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.

　　D. Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.

　　15. What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?

　　A. They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.

　　B. They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.

　　C. They just thought it a joke.

　　D. They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.

　　Passage 4

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

　　Culture shock is an occupational disease (职业病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.

　　Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.

　　Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.

　　16. According to the passage, culture shock is .

　　A. You don’t know how to express your gratitude.

　　B. You don’t know how to greet other people.

　　C. You suddenly forget what a word means.

　　D. You don’t understand why a foreigner shrugs.

　　19. According to the passage, how would a person who stays abroad most probably react when he is frustrated by the culture shock?

　　A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.

　　B. He is really to accept the change and adapt himself to the new environment.

　　C. Although he takes the culture difference for granted, he still doesn’t know how to do with it.

　　D. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.

　　20. The main idea of this passage is that .

　　A. culture shock is an occupational disease

　　B. culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange culture

　　C. culture shock has peculiar symptoms

　　D. it is very hard to cope with life in a new setting

　　Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

　　In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.

　　If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.

　　It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.

　　The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.

　　Excessive authoritarianism (命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的，切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.

　　16. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .

　　A. fundamental to a sound democracy B. not pertinent to healthy family life

　　C. responsible for Monism D. what we have almost given up

　　17. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that .

　　A. the role of the father may become an inferior one

　　B. the role of the mother may become an inferior one

　　C. the children will grow up believe that life is a battle of sexes

　　D. sharing leads to constant arguing

　　18. The author states that bringing up children .

　　A. is mainly the mother’s job B. belongs among the duties of the father

　　C. is the job of schools and churches D. involves a partnership of equals

　　19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is .

　　A. minor because he is an ineffectual parent

　　B. irrelevant to the healthy development of the child

　　C. pertinent to the healthy development of the child

　　D. identical to the role of the child’s mother

　　20. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

　　A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.

　　B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.

　　C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.

　　D. A woman’s place is always in the home.

　　Part V 参考例文

　　How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic

　　People now become more and more concerned about the heavy traffic problem. They have proposed different ways to solve the problem. Some people have suggested that more roads be built and expanded to relieve the pressure of traffic. Others believe that traffic congestion is the most common problem in modern big cities, which cannot be solved unless new ways of public transportation are found. And still others think that the number of private cars should be strictly controlled by the government.

　　Firstly, it is very difficult to construct new roads or expand the roads to meet the new needs in the heavily populated urban area. Secondly, more and more people in China desire to own a car to satisfy their vanity. However, automobiles take up too much time and space. If everyone has his or her car, the traffic congestion seems to be inevitable and driving to work would be a nightmare. Thirdly, cars pollute our air, which eventually leads to many serious diseases.

　　Therefore, in my opinion, on the one hand, more roads should be built if it is possible; on the other hand, some measures must be taken to control the number of automobiles in the cities, so that the traffic congestion could be possibly be solved.

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage

　　Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood.

　　There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.

　　All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree.

　　These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food.

　　There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds.

　　Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

　　11. What does the first paragraph tell us?

　　[A] The ape looks like human beings most.

　　[B] People and the ape think alike.

　　[C] People and the ape behave alike.

　　[D] The ape is the most intellectual animal in the world.

　　12. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?

　　[A] All apes are brown or black.

　　[B] All parts of apes’ bodies are covered with hair.

　　[C] Apes have weak legs but very strong arms.

　　[D] Apes’ arms are strong enough to swim.

　　13. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because ________.

　　[A] They like to live in small family groups

　　[B] They like to move from place to place in search of more food

　　[C] They like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects

　　[D] it rains too often in the deep forests

　　14. Among the three kinds of apes, ________.

　　[A] the gorilla is the biggest

　　[B] the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan

　　[C] the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon

　　[D] the orangutan can stand up to a great height, but others cannot

　　15. The last paragraph tells us that ________.

　　[A] chimpanzees can do better than human children

　　[B] chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot do

　　[C] human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannot do

　　[D] the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human children

　　If the salinity(含盐量) of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place.Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation--conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts staybehind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be left behind.

　　The opposite of evaporation is precipitation(降水), such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted(稀释) so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff(形成地表水部分的降水).

　　Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions whererivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.

　　A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.

　　In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezingprocess, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.

　　练习题：

　　Choose correct answers to the question:

　　1.The best title of the passage can be “_____”.

　　A.Typical Oceans and Their Respective Features

　　B.The Causes of the Changes in Salinity of Ocean Water

　　C.Different Oceans Have Different Salinity

　　D.The Precipitation and Evaporation of Oceans

　　2.Which of the following processes will increase salinity of ocean waters?

　　A.Evaporation.

　　B. Precipitation.

　　C. Melting.

　　D. Dilution.
