Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Sesame Street has been called the longest street in the world This is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. The program became one of Americans exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. In the United States more than 6 million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nations children before school age. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when the first-year pupils who have learned from Sesame Street are in the same class with those who have not watched the program. The program uses songs, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching “Sesame Street”. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.Why has Sesame Street been so much more successful than other childrens shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch Sesame Street along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on “Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.56.

It is a great port where goods from all over the world are brought in and then shipped out to other lands. It is a popular tourist spot and a center of commerce, manufacturing, and baking. It is also a bustling place of people and movement, of great riches and extreme poverty, of bright, vivid colors and dull, gray ugliness.Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places on earth. More than 6,300,000 people are crowded into a total land area of only 1,076 square kilometers. Almost all the people are Chinese. The two official languages are English and the Cantonese dialect of Chinese.Most of the people of Hong Kong live in its cities. The major cities are Victoria, the capital, which is on Hong Kong island, and Kowloon, which lies across the harbor of Hong Kong on Kowloon peninsula. Because of the dense population and the shortage of living space, some of the people live on small boats in Hong Kong harbor.Hong Kong is marked by contrast between new and old, rich and poor. There are wide, well-paved streets with modern office buildings, department stores, theaters, and fashionable hotels. New apartment houses are found in many parts of Hong Kong. But only a few blocks away are slums, where the streets are narrow, and the buildings old and crowded. Because housing has been in short supply, the government passed laws in 1980 to try to reduce the large number of illegal immigrants entering Hong Kong.60. It can be learned from the passage that Hong Kong is _.A. a lively and flourishing harbor cityB. inhabited entirely by Chinese peopleC. a group of islands surrounded by a mainland areaD. the most densely populated place on earth61. There are some boat dwellers in Hong Kong because of _.A. the advantages of living in Hong Kong harborB. the good living conditions on small boatsC. the poor living standard of some peopleD. the dense population and the short supply of housing62. What is the best title for this passage?A. The geographic location of Hong KongB. The economic development of Hong KongC. The population distribution in Hong KongD. Hong Kong and its people(C)The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins. The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappe
