You are required to read the passage and give your answers these questions on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs arent permanent. The leaders of industries want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by more efficient machines. As a result, a worker trained for a certain factory job becomes unemployed, and the profits of the factory owners are maximized. Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapid industrialization because it brings problems as well as progress. Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last, not jobs that are temporary. In the opinion of these economists, the leaders of Third World countries should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages of rapid industrialization. 71. The rapid automation of the industry in Third World countries could mean _. A. less pollution to the environment B. more profits to the factory owners C. more problems to the government D. more jobs to citizens 72. Of the following four points, which one do leaders of an industry consider first? A. More jobs for the workers. B. Rapid development in all the fields. C. Better pay for the workers. D. Highest productivity. 73. According to the passage, automation could lead to _. A. more jobs and therefore more pay B. fewer machines and therefore more workers C. more machines and therefore fewer workers D. fewer machines and therefore more progress 74. The author wrote the passage in order to _. A. tell us an interesting story B. reveal a fact C. tell us the disadvantages of automation D. give a warning to some Third World countries 75. In the sentence “Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last”, the word “last” means _. A. to follow all the rest B. to go on C. to become late D. to be most recent Passage Two Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor, and even if a person who is poor doesnt feel really poor when he has a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didnt know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go to any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States has never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what has really made cars popular. Americans dont like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They dont like to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. 76. Which of the following statements is TURE? A. In the United States even the poor all own cars. B. In the United States all the poor have no cars. C. When an American owns a car, he will never be poor. D. An American will feel poor unless he has a car. 77. We can infer from this passage that Americans _. A. travel a lot in their cars B. spend a lot of money traveling by car C. seldom travel by plane D. use public transportation frequently 78. Americans prefer their cars for the following reasons except that _. A. buses, trains and planes are not comfortable B. traveling by car is inexpensive C. they have the spirit of independence D. they often move from place to place 79. In the authors opinion, what has really made cars popular in the United States is that _. A. Americans like to schedule their own time B. the United States lacks public transportation C. Americans will not feel poor when they travel in their cars D. Americans can not move around without their own cars 80. “A nation on wheels” in the second paragraph means that _. A. everyone in the United States owns a car B. the United States produces most of the cars in the world C. cars play an important part in Americans lives D. the United States depends on car industry for its development Passage Three Im usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. 大学英语四级六级 Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: in
