Just lately he has been arriving before I get up. Staff shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier. Delivering milk to peoples homes is scarcely good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road. In spite of my local difficulties, however, labor troubles are not as acute as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early morning stake for the sake of an open-air job with a fair measure of freedom. If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self-service stores. Dairies are aware that stopping deliveries in the United States would result in falling sales. Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase turnover. Already they have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries. One dairyman said: It wont be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk. Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though diversification will be limited only by the size of the vans. So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade. Flavored milk is popular on the Continent. In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavoring. Even the returnable bottle continues to be used. As long as it has a reasonable life - 30 to 40 trips are usual - the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile. 61. We are told that the milkman now sets out on his delivery rounds earlier than he used to because of _. A the need to collect money B more early-rising customers C an increased demand for milk D an increased workload 【参考答案】：D 62. Some men choose to be milkmen because they like _. A getting up early B serving several firms C working out of doors D working for themselves 【参考答案】：C 63. Dairies attempts to sell more bread from their delivery vans have meant that _. A bakeries are asking milkmen to deliver bread B milkmen have taken over some bakery rounds C more bread than milk is now sold by milkmen D people buy more bread from milkmen than from bakers 【参考答案】：B 64. The passage indicates that during the next ten years or so dairy firms will _. A gradually cease selling milk B have to offer a wider variety C take more notice of changes in customers tastes D produce the same kind of products 【参考答案】：D 65. We are told that dairy firms continue to supply returnable milk bottles because they are _. A most economical in the long run B the most durable form of container C cheap to clean and collect D easy for customers to return 【参考答案】：A 题 66 - 70 Passage 2 Nothing lives forever. Is that right? Wrong. It seems hard to believe that there are some animals that do not die. They are very simple creatures, too small to be seen without the help of a microscope. While most animals, including human beings, have billions of cells in their bodies, these little definers have only one. Each cell lives for a certain length of time, and then it splits to form two new animals. The adult animal turn itself into two babies. All of the new cells finally divide, but none die unless they are killed by accidents or by diseases. There are other cells that avoid being old. Cells from old mice have been moved into young mice over and over again, each time the body they are in wears out. In their new bodies the old cells seem to begin life over again. They divide and grow just like young cells. Is there any way to discover the secret of these young cells and apply it to human beings? Not yet. But scientists are still searching and they may be closer than ever to finding an answer. Of course, some ways to increase our chances of living longer, like good food and exercise, have been known for years. Progress against killer diseases has already raised the human life to more than seventy years, compared with less than fifty years at the turn of the century. Now scientists are studying other ways to fight against death. They will never give up their efforts until they win their final success. 66. The passage is mainly about _. A A the law governing the growth of all creatures B the secret of getting old C ways to begin life over again D certain cells that never die 【参考答案】：D 67. The main reason why some kinds of small animals never die is that _. A they can divide themselves and start a new life B they get young again when they almost die of age C they constantly move from one place to another D they live in the bodies of other bigger animals 【参考答案】：A 68. What does definers in paragraph 1 refer to in the passage?_ A Cells that fear nothing. B Cells that can not be understood C Cells that refuse to die. D Cells that finally die in a normal way. 【参考答案】：C 69. Scientists are interested in these one-cell animals because they want to _. A find out how these tiny animals fight against diseases B discover the relations between human bodies and these animals C learn how these cells can split into new young cells D look for ways of keeping human life much longer 【参考答案】：D 70. What is the writers attitude towards the possibility for human beings to live longer?_ A Confident. B Doubtful. C Uncertain. D Respectful. 【参考答案】：A 题 71 - 75 Passage 3 Ironically, in the United States, a country of immigrants, prejudice and discrimination continue to be serious problems. There was often tension between each established group of immigrants and each succeeding group. As each group became more financially successful, and more powerful, they excluded newcomers from full participation in the society. Prejudice and discrimination are part of American history; however, this prejudice treatment of different groups is nowhere more unjust than with black Americans. Blacks had distinct disadvantages. For the most part, they came to the land of opportunity as slaves and they were not free to keep their heritage and cultural traditions. Unlike most European immigrants, blacks did not have the protection of a support group; sometimes slave owners separated members of the same family. They could not mix easily with the established society because of their color. It was difficult for them to adapt to the American culture. Even after they became free people, they still experienced discrimination in employment, housing and education. Until the twentieth century, the majority of the black population lived in the southern part of the United States. Then there was a population shift to the large cities in the North. Prejudice against blacks is often associated with the South. Slavery was more common there and discrimination was usually much easier to see. In the 1950s and 1960s, blacks fought to gain fair treatment, and they now have legal protection in housing, education, and employment. Because their neighborhoods are segregated many blacks feel that educational opportunities are not adequate for their children. Busing children from one neighborhood to another is one solution to inequality in education. Naturally, all parents want the best possible education for their children. The situation of blacks is better today than it was in the 1950s, but racial tension persists. Time will be the real solution to the problem of race. 71. What is the main subject of the passage?_ A Prejudice and discrimination in the United States. B Education in the United States. C Prejudice against American blacks. D Unemployment in the United States. 【参考答案】：A 72. When a group of immigrants became strong in its economy, they were likely to _. A prevent new settlers from being greatly involved in social activities B show prejudice and discrimination against newcomers C fight with the natives to gain more land D fight among themselves to establish a more dominating role 【参考答案】：A 73. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?_ A Blacks in the United States were not those who were worst discriminate B Prejudice and discrimination are part of the United States. C It was not easy for blacks to get accustomed to the American culture. D The problem of prejudice and discrimination in the United States wont be solved before long. 【参考答案】：A 74. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A blacks are free people now, so they can enjoy equal rights as whites B the government of the United States is not attaching great attention to the education of blacks C now there are more blacks living in the North than in the South D prejudice and discrimination are more severe in the South than in the North 【参考答案】：D 75.

A black children are slow in learning in their neighborhood B black children cant enjoy adequate education if they dont go far C black children are severely discriminated in their own neighberhood D black children are required to receive an education of a different culture 【参考答案】：B 题 76 - 80 Passage 4 Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and receiver. The means of sending communication are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols. Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as b
