Statistics from the State Environmental Protection Administration show that China will have 33 million automobiles by 2005 and over 131 million by 2020. As the market 4, so are serious pollution problems. Vehicles have become the biggest carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and nitrogen oxide(亚硝酰氯) emitters in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. In Chinas 14 largest cities, air pollution takes its 5 on 50,000 newborn babies and causes 400,000 cases of respiratory(呼吸的) illness every year, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology. Not only do vehicles create stress on the environment and human health, a growing automobile society also threatens to 6 Chinas oil resources.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the best answer to each question.Passage OneQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Lets take a look at the society around me. I have got to be a 5-foot-10, super-thin gorgeous (非常漂亮的) woman to even be considered for media praise. My coach keeps on pushing me, even though I am honestly trying my best. My boss will go mad if Im five minutes late. My parents expect me to have a 4.0 grade-point average, be nice to my brother, earn a music scholarship and still make it home in time to do the dishes. Well, I never really have the guts (勇气) to complain about any of these things, so I found a way around them. I simply do whats expected of me. Thats the way of the teenage world.In todays society, a girl is expected to do several things at a time to be a success. Im all for aiming high, but I dont like to be kicked if I dont hit my target. I would rather work on something I love to do, than to be No. 1 in something I hate. Dont get me wrong; I appreciate the push that everyone gives me. I just wish I could be pushed in the direction I want to go in, instead of worrying about disappointing the people I love. I blame a lot of this teenage stress (压力) on the media. When you turn on MTV, the first thing you usually see is an unbelievably beautiful girl with no problems, perfect grades and excellent athletic ability. The image that is painted for teenage girls is totally false! We do have problems. We all dont have a 4.0 GPA. Our hair isnt always perfect. All of us arent rich. We do get pimples (粉刺). We should acknowledge these things and steer away from people who try to change us. I, for one, dont want to be a part of an unrealistic fantasy world anymore. So I want to break these barriers . I am not the prettiest, smartest, most athletic girl in the universe. But I am good at a lot of things. I guess you could call me a normal teenage girl. And Im happy with that. 16. What is expected of a young woman in today society?A) Be tall and thin.B) Be athletic and good at music.C) Be perfect in everything.D) Be graceful and have good manners.17. What is the greatest stress affecting young girls?A) They have to do several things at a time.B) Too much is expected of them.C) They have to do things they do not like.D) Their parents want them to take care of their brother.18. Who or what is chiefly responsible for the stress young girls are suffering?A) The media.B) Their parents.C) Their school.D) Their own fault.19. What does the author want to do?A) Get a 4.0 GPA and be an academic success.B) Try not to disappoint her parents and people around her.C) Grow into the prettiest and most athletic girl in the world.D) Be realistic and steer away from the fantasy world.20. What does the author advise her peers to do?A) Be happy with themselves.B) Be good at a lot of things.C) Follow the media closely.D) Pay attention to their image.Passage TwoQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960s and 1970s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In thetwenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States. The lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States are the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in Arctic snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States. In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline. Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected. Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.21.The study published in the journal Nature indicates that _.A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB) lead deposits in Arctic snow are on the increaseC) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD) the U.S. is the major source of lead pollution in Arctic snow22.Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the U.S. _.A) was discouraged B) was enforced by law C) was prohibited by law D) was introduced23.How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?_.A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the Arctic area.C) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D) By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.24.The authors of the Ambio study have found that _.A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expected B) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult deal withC) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the U.S.D) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions25.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists_.A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollution B) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC) still consider lead pollution a problem D) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionPassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Tight-lipped elders used to say, “Its not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menus, make a shopping list, and decide which food to cook first and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “ware” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.26.What do the elders mean when they say, “Its not what you want in this world, but what you get?”A)Youll certainly get what you want.B) Its no use dreaming.C) You should be dissatisfied with what you have.D) Its essential to set a goal for yourself.27.A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as _.A) an illustration of how to write an application for a jobB) an indication how to secure a good jobC) a guideline for job descriptionD) a principle for job evaluation28.According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because _.A) that is the first step to please the employerB) that is the requirement of the employerC) it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD) it forces him to become clearly aware of himself29.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something _.A) definite to offerB) imaginary to provideC) practical to supplyD) desirable to present30.In the authors standpoint, which of the following items is not among the things that you could do after having prepared a blueprint for yourself?A) You could gather information about suitable job vacancies in accordance with your blueprint.B) You could find newspaper clippings about the company that is offering your preferred jobs.C) You should make inquiries to the company that are offering jobs or your friends who may provide you with some employment information so as to learn the details
