Each passage is followed by 4 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 51 to 54 are based on the following passage: At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of Black September Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police had been brought into the village, following a tip off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage. The guerrillas demanded the release of 200 Palestinians held in Israeli jails and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended. After some negotiations, the terrorists were told they would be flown with their hostages to an Arab country. They were taken by helicopter to the Furstenfield military airport 25 miles from Munich. Just before midnight the guerrillas and their hostages began to walk across the tarmac to a waiting Boeing 727 aircraft. Suddenly all the airport lights were turned out and German police sharp shooters opened fire. The rescue attempt failed tragically. In the gun battle all nine hostages were killed, as well as four Arabs and one policeman. Three Arabs were captured and one escaped into the nearby woods. On the 8th, Israeli planes bombed ten guerilla bases in revenge for Munich massacre. 51.

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; but also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on healthy eating. 55. Which statement best expresses the main idea of this article? A. People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong. B. People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. C. People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. D. People should eat vegetables to keep themselves healthy and strong. 56. Particularly processed foods means A. foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additives B. foods which are particularly made by commercial farms C. foods which are specially produced by commercial factories D. foods which are not specially made by adding anything 57. Natural foods means A. foods good for health B. foods not good for health C. foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil D. crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from healthy pastures 58. Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. It means A. processed food provides us with energy B. natural food furnishes us with vitamins and minerals C. sugar gives us enough energy in the form of calories D. fiber helps us to digest foodQuestions 59 to 62 are based on the following passage: Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport(excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved tothe transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to17% investment growth, including a 30%increase in investment in business premises. Industrialinvestment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total grossinvestment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms,largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housingconstruction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as tofears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personalconsumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption,evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16%and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sectorof the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation (饱和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered. 59. The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was undesirable because A. people saved less B. people were wealthy C. people consumed less D. expenditures on luxuries increased 60. It can be inferred form the increase of fruit consumption that A. people had to spend more on transportation and furniture B. people were more health conscious C. people were more money conscious D. the price of fruit dropped dramatically61. The word registered in the last line most probably means _ A. marked B. approached C. listed D. booked62. From this passage, we learn that the people _ A. spent more money than they earned B. saved more money than previously C. spent their money wisely D. invested and consumed at an accelerated paceQuestions 63 to 66 are based on the following passage: Online courses (also cal
