For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:It is estimated that nine out of ten smokers would like to give up their habit if there were an easy way, and that more than 30 million Americans have tried to do so at least once. Until now, theyve had little help from the medical profession, even though more U.S. doctors have stopped smoking than has any other group, and their organizations have condemned the practice.Doctors could have a powerful influence on their patients who smoke if they took the trouble to give brief advice and help on a routine basis, says Dr. Michael A.H. Russell, head of the addiction research unit of Londons Maudsley Hospital, and a leading authority on nicotine addiction. In an experiment, Russell showed that when doctors took just a minute or two to talk to their patients about their smoking habit and gave them a leaflet to read, the doctors could persuade 4.1 percent to give up cigarettes. Those patients who were also given nicotine did more than twice as well.If this experience holds true here, doctors might help nearly 5 million American smokers kick their habit each year. Since, according to the Royal College of Physicians, “between 2.5 and 4 out of every 10 are smoking,” this might save the lives of as many as 2 million American smokers.Of course, not all patients are candidates for nicotine gum. It is not recommended for some heart patients, some peptic-ulcer(胃溃疡) sufferers or women who are or may become pregnant. A doctor should decide whether to give it to a nursing mother, since nicotine will enter her milk. It has not been evaluated in children or adolescents who smoke.The FDA advises patients not to use Nicorette for more than three months. Actually, a number of experiments show that the gum is most effective if used for 16 weeks. People who stop smoking with the gum and then stop the gum too soon are more likely to relapse(旧病复发) .21. According to the passage, most smokers would not quit smoking because _. A) they found it difficult to quit smoking B) they got no help from the hospital C) their organizations condemn their quitting smoking D) there were no organizations that would help them22. According to Dr. Michael A.H. Russell, _ could help the smokers quit. A) relatives B) organizations for quitting smoking C) doctors D) drugs23. Which of the following are advised to use nicotine gum? A) Heart patients. B) Nursing mothers. C) Pregnant women. D) Healthy smokers.24. Which of the following is the FDAs advice to patients? A) Not to use Nicorette for more than twelve weeks. B) No more than 30 pieces should be chewed in one day. C) To quit smoking gradually D) to cut down on smoking entirely25. Whats the authors purpose to write this article? A) To entertain B) To persuade C) To inform D) To arguePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:What are some of the differences between love and infatuation? Genuine love is more likely to involve a process of “growing” in love rather than “falling” in love. This may sound terribly romantic to some who are used to hearing talk about “falling in love” or being “head over heels in love”. This “falling” is often “infatuation”, and the sheer emotion of “falling” in love often blinds a person to the imperfections of the loved one. We tend to think of the loved one as “perfect,” “ideal,” or some other diving image. Real love sees the total person both the perfection and the imperfection. Infatuation, then is a sudden emotional sense that one has discovered in the “perfect” lover. On the other hand, love realizes imperfections and grows with the acceptance of those imperfections.Love leads a person to a feeling of security and trust in the loved one. It usually involves a feeling of mutual benefit arising from the new relationship. “We are able to solve our problems together” is the feeling of love, rather than “Please love me because I need you.”Infatuation often entails feelings of insecurity wherever the “lovers” are separated; feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and fear of loss often accompany infatuation. “What will I do if I lose him?” and “ I wonder if she really means it when she says she loves me?” express the feelings of infatuation. In such a setting, a lasting love does not have a chance to develop.Infatuation tends to be more manipulative than love because a lasting feeling of relationship probably had not developed, so that the individuals are still concerned mainly about their own needs and satisfactions. Conversely, in love, the feeling of relationship is genuine and sincere so that concern for the other person evolves naturally.Physical attraction is an important part of both infatuation and love, but the superficial attraction is less important in love, for the couple experiencing love usually will build their relationship on a broader basis than mere physical attraction.Although genuine love is an ideal toward which a couple strives, you do not have to be perfect to love. True love involves a measure of self-acceptance and self-respect and a degree of self-sufficiency in order that one may accept, respect, and trust another person, but it does not require unachievable levels of these qualities.26.According to the passage, teal love means that _A) one grows up in loveB) one sees his lover as perfect or idealC) one sees his lovers merits and shortcomingsD) the lovers fall in love with each other27. According to the passage, love offers people a feeling of security because _ A) the lovers trust in and benefit from each otherB) love is usually concerned with a feeling of mutual benefitC) the lovers realize their own perfections by a feeling of insecurityD) love can overcome the feeling of security28. Which of the following is NOT true?A) Infatuation is usually accompanied by a feeling of insecurity.B) In infatuation, the feeling of relationship is intense and lasting.C) Physical attraction is equally important in love and infatuation.D) In infatuation, the individuals are mainly concerned about their own needs.29. Which of the following is NOT an element of true love?A) Self- acceptance B) Self- respectC) Physical attraction D) Fear of loss30. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A) The differences between love and infatuation.B) The importance of true love.C) The perfection and imperfection of love.D) Genuine love as an ideal.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Public colleges and universities in the U.S., subsidized directly by state government, are capturing an expanding share of enrollment. At the beginning of the century, more than 80% of students were enrolled in private colleges and universities. By the middle of the century, the figure had fallen to about 50%.From the 1960s on, this trend has accelerated. By 1990, the composition had reversed itself from the beginning of the century, with four out of five students enrolled in public universities. During the three decades from 1965 to 1995, the public sector absorbed more than 86% of the higher education enrollment increase.The evidence is strong that the state government policy to create a system of state-run colleges and universities that drastically underprices private institutions of higher education has resulted in a threat to the independent higher education system. This unquestioned march away from private higher education to government control is inefficient and harmful to a civilized society. Private colleges and universities provide an educational experience quite different from state-run institutions. Private colleges are much smaller, with an average enrollment of around 1,500. The average enrollment for public colleges and universities is more than four times greater, approaching 7,000. Of the 120 largest institutions of higher education in terms of enrollment, all but eight are public. Eighty-five percent of colleges that enroll less than 1,000 students are private.Students at private colleges and universities are more likely to interact with faculty and more satisfied with classroom instruction. They complete their degrees at a much higher rate than their counterparts at state-run institutions. Private institutions grant more doctorate and first professional degrees than state institutions, despite their much smaller enrollment.Aside from offering a different type of learning environment, a system of private colleges and universities is much more efficient than a government-run and planned system. State governments have created a situation where a vast majority of students attend a college for a price that is far below the true cost of providing their education, and the educational service is not controlled very well by those who own the institution.31. According to the passage, which of the following is responsible for the decreasing enrollment in private colleges and universities? A) Public colleges and universities grant more courses. B) Public colleges and universities are much larger than private colleges and universities. C) The government does not finance private institutions of higher education. D) Public colleges and universities financially supported by state governments charge much less than private colleges and universities.32. What is the authors attitude toward the governments policy to subsidize public universities? A) Positive. B) Indifferent. C) Critical D) Neutral33. How many more students does a public university enroll than a private one on an average? A) 1,500. B) 7,000. C) 6,000. D) 5,500.34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A) Students and teachers at private universities communicate more often than those at public ones. B) Classroom teaching at private universities is better than at public ones. C) Because of smaller enrollment, private universities offer fewer courses then public ones. D) The tuition of public universities is below the cost of providing their education.35. The passage is mainly organized by _. A) introducing the decreasing enrollment of private universities and enlisting the advantages of private universities to criticize the governments policy B) introducing a phenomenon and analyzing its reasons C) comparing and contrasting two different concepts D) presenting a general idea and giving specific examplesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It is estimated that nine out of ten smokers would like to give up their habit if there were an easy way, and that more than 30 million Americans have tried to do so at least once. Until now, theyve had little help from the medical profession, even though more U.S. doctors have stopped smoking than has any other group, and their organizations have condemned the practice.Doctors could have a powerful influence on their patients who smoke if they took the trouble to give brief advice and help on a routine basis, says Dr. Michael A.H.

A) To entertain B) To persuade C) To inform D) To arguePassage FiveQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: It is 4 oclock in the early morning. Everything but the computing room on the campus of the university appears as quiet and misty as the mysterious hell. In the computing room, 30 students crumpled with blurred eyes, sit still at their desk, thumping the dirty and worn keys. Staring at the colorful screen, they tap continuously fo
