Directions Read the following passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement For each of them 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 The small number of newborn babies which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women is one of the most serious problems in Asia When people talk about it you can hear a word invented in Japan which means Double Income No Kids In many major Asian cities like Seoul Singapore and Tokyo the cost of a house is extremely high A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about 3 000 000 though prices have fallen For a flat with one bedroom one dining room a kitchen and a bathroom the couple will pay about 900 a month What s more if they want to have a child the child s education is very expensive For example most kindergarten charges are at least 5 000 a year In such a situation it s difficult to afford children The number of married women who want to continue working increases because they enjoy their jobs However if they want to have children they immediately have serious problems Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby they expect women with babies to give up their jobs In short if they want to bring up children properly both parents have to work but it is hard for mothers to work Indeed women who want to continue working have to choose between having children and keeping their jobs In a word Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible 74 What is the main problem being discussed in the passage 用心 爱心 专心 6 A The small number of newborn babies B The changing social situation of women C The high prices of houses and education D The necessary steps of Asian government 75 According to the passage which of the following is true A It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia B The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now C Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job D The word DINKS appeared in an Asian country 76 To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten how much will a couple pay each year A 5 000B 5 900C 10 800D 15 800 77 It seems to be believed that Asian governments should A let women stay at home and have a baby B allow one of the parents to go out to work C care for the growing needs of women for jobs D punish the companies that permit women to leave B The Diet Zone A Dangerous Place Diet Coke diet Pepsi diet pills no fat diet vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word diet everywhere we look and listen We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically Diet products weaken us psychologically On one level we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight but in controlling the consumption of fatty high calorie unhealthy foods Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word diet in food labels On another level diet products have greater psychological effects Every time we have a zero calorie drink we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don t have to work to get results Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain and that life can be without resistance and struggle The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us but also in the physical harm they cause Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products Diet products may not be nutritional and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us it is time to seriously think about buying them Losing weight lies in the power of minds not in the power of chemicals Once we realize this we will be much better able to resist diet products and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them 78 From Paragraph 1 we learn that A diet products fail to bring out people s potential B people have difficulty in choosing diet products 用心 爱心 专心 7 C diet products are misleading people D people are fed up with diet products 79 One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to A try out a variety of diet foodsB hesitate before they enjoy diet foods C pay attention to their own eating habits D watch their weight rather than their diet 80 In Paragraph 3 gain comes without pain probably means A losing weight is effortlessB it costs a lot to lose weight C diet products bring no painD diet products are free from calories 81 Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products A are over consumedB lack basic nutrients C are short of chemicalsD provide too much energy C When it comes to health the poor are doubly cursed Not only are they more prone to deadly infectious diseases than the rich but they have far less access to the means of improvement Twenty years ago Paul Farmer an American doctor and anthropologist set out to do something about this Amid the political turmoil and poverty of rural Haiti he created a community based health care system called Zanmi Lasante or Partners in Health It not only delivers appropriate affordable medical treatment to thousands of poor people but goes beyond the clinic to address the social causes making them sick and keeping them from getting better As Dr Farmer argues improving the health of the poor is not just a medical challenge but a question of human rights Dealing with the inequality racism sexism and other forms of structural violence which oppress the poor is as critical as extending the drugs Or as his Haiti patients put it medicine without food is like washing one s hands and drying them in the dirt Unfortunately Dr Farmer s powerful message is often weakened by his book s academic tone It does however scream out in passages describing the human face of structural violence It is these personal stories that make Dr Farmer s anger at such stupid deaths so compelling The good doctor s motives and methods are better described in Mountains Beyond Mountains This biography by Tracy Kidder traces Dr Farmer from his unusual upbringing and education shuttling between the shacks of central Haiti and the halls of Harvard Medical School to his later work around the world Though well written Mr Kidder s book also makes for un
