Now however this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems Even though we have good intentions we may be producing too much too fast Those who 43 economic growth argue that we must slow down They believe that society is 44 certain limits on growth As society reaches the limits on natural resources economic growth can no longer continue and the quality of life will decrease People who

there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read A Plants seem to know which way is up and which way is down furthermore they seem to know right from left If a cutting from a Lombardy poplar 钻天杨 is kept alive new shoots will grow from the end that grew uppermost in the tree There is no visible difference between the top and the bottom of the living stick even under a microscope Even so the stick will not send out shoot from the end it views as bottom even if this end happens to be on top Scientists studying this subject further split their cuttings lengthwise To their surprise they made another interesting discovery A good many more buds grew on the right hand side of the split surface than on the left They split the sticks again and found that the buds again grew on the right side The results of the entire study showed a 60 40 preference for the right side proving that growing plants is basically right handed 65 If a cutting is placed upside down in the laboratory A the part on top will sprout leaves B the original up will sprout leaves C leaves will grow at either end D the cutting will not develop at all 66 If the cutting is split in half lengthwise the buds will A appear mostly on the right edge of the surface B all appear on the left edge of the surface C not grow at all D grow on the down end 67 The best title for this selection is A Growing Plants Have a Sense of Direction B A Well known Plant Experiment C How Plants Grow D The Basis for Right Handedness B Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent minded actions for two weeks When he came to analyse their embarrassing errors he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups One of the women for instance on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her ear rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer explains the professor People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly It was the woman s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear rings But somehow the action got reversed 颠倒 in the programme About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these programme assembly failures Twenty per cent of all errors were test failures primarily due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing A man who was about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept put them on much to his surprise A woman victim reported I got into the bath with my socks on The commonest problem was information storage failures People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew went into a room and forgot why they were there mislaid something or smoked a cigarette without realizing it The research so far suggests that while the central processor of the brain is liberated from second to second control of a well practised routine it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended Otherwise the activity may be captured by another frequently and recently used programme resulting in embarrassing errors 68 The purpose of Professor Reason s research is A to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning B to classify and explain some errors in human actions C to find the causes which lead to computer failures D to compare computer functions with brain workings 69 Which of the following might be grouped under programme assembly failures A A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy B A man returning home after work left his key in the lock C A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking D An old man with his shoes on was trying to put on his socks 70 The word verifying in paragraph 3 can be replaced by A improving B changing C checking D stopping 71 According to the passage the information storage failures refers to A the destruction of information collecting system B the elimination of one s total memory C the temporary loss of part of one s memory D the separation of one s action from consciousness C A number of recent books have reworked subject forms and writing techniques Today s children read stories about divorce death drugs air pollution political extremism and violence Relying on the magic of the illustrator all kinds of books are being published Before they know how to read babies can play with books made of cloth or books to take in the bath Later on they are given picture books that may be cubical 立方形的 or triangular outsized or very small They also like work books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes and comic books filled with details where they have to spots a figure hidden among thousands of others Not that the traditional children s books are being neglected There are still storybooks where the pages pop up when they are opened to make a forest or a castle Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot 情节 or ending they want and books on CD which are very popular in rich industrialized countries The public has enthusiastically greeting the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers Previously giving a child book was often seen as improper says Canadian author Marie France Herbert Her books published by a French language publisher sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies There s real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart like a medicine or a vitamin 72 Reworked used in Paragraph 1 means A reworded B rewritten C processed D revised 73 In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books A recently published B of various shapes C babies like D popular among children 74 Which of the following statements is true A Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books B When you buy work books you will be given free comic books C Traditional children s books are not being removed from market D Babies cannot have books while taking a bath 75 The expression get across to children in the last paragraph probably means A pass on to children B make children believe C teach children D get around to children D People seldom feel the same about poetry Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food for shelter and love It isn t Words no matter how satisfying are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes calm on the other hand that poetry is only words and good for nothing That s not true either It is easy to become frustrated by words in poetry or in life but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings as they often do in poetry they can be very important Poetry is in fact more than just words It is an experience of life their sense of what other people are like their awareness of themselves and their range of human feelings One reason that poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings Poetry is often full of ideas too and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think Poems provide in fact a language for feeling and one of poetry s most insistent merits involves its attempt to express the inexpressible How can anyone for example put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone who cares about Poetry tries and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader No single poem can said to express all the things that love or death feels like or means but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say Yes that is just what it is like I know exactly what that line means but I ve never been able to express it so well Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy 76 People seldom feel the same about poetry in Para 1 in this context means that A few people think that poetry is neutral B p
