years of this century wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada When the crops were good the economy was good when the crops failed there was depression People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop For years farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn but farmers could not wait for markets to improve It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich On various occasions producer groups asked for firmer controls but governments had no wish to become involved at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wid Anxious to check inflation and rising living costs the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1938 Grain Exchange trading was suspended and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board To handle the crop of 1919 the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board with full authority to buy sell and set prices 得分得分评卷人评卷人 得分得分评卷人评卷人 得分得分评卷人评卷人 第 3 页 共 4 页 1 What

are based on the following passage Like oil and natural gas coal is organic material that has been slowly broken down by biological and geological processes but whereas oil and gas are mainly derived from animal matter such as plankton coal consists of plant remains The fossil fuels are a part of the carbon cycle that is basic to life on Earth There is probably about 50 times as much carbon locked up in fossil fuels as there is in all of the living matter both plant and animal on Earth Coal is a sedimentary rock consisting of carbon water and volatile gases with small amounts of mineral impurities that produce ash when the coal is burned Variation in the proportions of the constituents present produces the different types of coal and is responsible for their different calorific values Lignite brown coal contains a high proportion of water 43 percent and is therefore of lower calorific value than bituminous coal ordinary household coal which contains only 3 percent water Anthracite on the other hand is almost all carbon 96 percent and contains hardly any water or volatiles It is of higher calorific but less readily in flammable than bituminous coal which has a high proportion of volatiles 32 percent The mineral impurities present are mainly clays chlorides and sulfides The latter in particular are troublesome on combustion oxidizing to sulfur dioxide a major cause of atmospheric pollution 6 Which of the following coal contains the highest calorie A Lignite B Bituminous coal C Anthracite D Brown coal 7 What is coal made of A It s made of carbon water and volatile gases B It s made of carbon water volatile gases and mineral impurities C It s made of carbon and water only 8 is used as ordinary household coal A Bituminous coal B Brown coal C Anthracite D

chlorides D sulfides Passage three Questions 11 15 are based on the following passage What we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat it has at the same time made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to the diet as well especially cancer of the colon 结肠 Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945 about 35 years ago government researchers realized that nitrates 硝酸盐 commonly used to preserve color in meats and other food additives caused cancer Yet these carcinogenic 致癌的 additives remain in our food and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful The additives which we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals and because of this penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration FDA has tried repeatedly to control these procedures the practices continue 11 The possible title of the passage is A Drug B Cancer C Food D Health 12 Which of the following statements is NOT true A Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons B Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals C Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty five years 第 4 页 共 4 页 D Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world 13 Why do we say that science has done something harmful to mankind A Because of science diseases caused by

the objects of research D they cause the animals to become fatter 15 The word carcinogenic most nearly means A trouble making B color retaining C money making D cancer causing Passage four Questions

background or mood music can be heard almost anywhere in the United States from hushed executive offices to screeching wrecking yards One hand tool manufacturing plant found that efficiency increased 4 5 with the introduction of background music while a California farmer discovered that such music calmed nervous cattle and prevented stampedes that used to cause thousands of dollars in damage The
