It has a population of a little more than a million, and it is situated at the north end of the Arabian Gulf, which is also sometimes called the Persian Gulf. The land area is about 8,000 square miles. Kuwaits climate is one of the hottest in the world. In the summer, the temperature often reaches 124Fahrenheit during the day. Thats about 51.1on the Centigrade scale. Temperatures are naturally cooler during the winter. They range between 50and 60Fahrenheit.Until oil was discovered there in 1938,Kuwait was a little-known country. Today this small desert country has become one of the worlds leading oil producers: it has approximately 15 percent of the worlds known petroleum reserves.Since the discovery of oil, Kuwaits rulers have turned the country into a prosperous welfare state. It has free primary and secondary education, free health care and social services; and the people do not have to pay any personal income tax for those services. It has become one of the worlds richest nations. Though Kuwait has free primary and secondary education for its people, many of them still do not know how to read and write. The University of Kuwait was opened in 1966, but many of the students still study in colleges and universities abroad, at the state expense.1) According to the passage, what is not true about Kuwait? A.It is rich in oil B.It is the number one world oil producer C.Its temperature is quite high D.It is a small country2) In Kuwait if children go to the school _. A.their parents pay for the education B.their parents neednt pay for the elementary school but pay for high school C.the state pays for the education D.none of the above3) The students in Kuwait _. A.study well because of free education B.like to study in the University of Kuwait C.like to go to study abroad because they are rich enough to pay for it D.like to go to study abroad and the education is paid by the governmentPassage 2Most worth-while careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an occupation should be made even before the choice of a curriculum(课程) in high school. Actually, however, most persons make several job choices during their working lives, partly because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their positions. The “one perfect job” does not exist. Young people should therefore enter into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of work rather than for a single job.Unfortunately many young people, knowing little about the occupational world or themselves for that matter, choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss basis. Some drift from job to job. Others stick to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for its real or imagined prestige(声望). Too many high-school students-or their parents for themchoose the professional field, disregarding both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “white-collar” job is no good reason for choosing it as a lifes work. Moreover, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should give serious consideration to these fields.Before making an occupational choice. A person should have a general idea of what he wants out of life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take risks for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.1)According to the passage, the economic and industrial changes as well as peoples desire to improve their positions can usually lead to _. A.the existence of “one perfect job” B.the increase in training programs C.the changes in training programs D.the decrease in the number of worth-while careers2)The author indicates that young people would not change their jobs very often or would fit for their jobs better if they _. A.knew the jobs and themselves well B.had a good curriculum in high school C.happened to have the “one perfect job” D.could get used to their working lives3)The author suggests that most young people should _. A.choose a job of real prestige B.compete for a “white-collar” job C.get advice from their parents for a job D.consider jobs in mechanical and manual fields4)The main idea of the passage is about _. A.how to make a self-analysis in terms of an occupation B.what to consider when choosing an occupation C.how to choose a well-paid occupation D.what to do to survive in the occupational world Passage 3 The whole atmosphere of the world in which we live is influenced by science, as is shown most immediately by our modern conveniences and material resources. A little deeper thinking shows that the influence of science goes much farther and colors the entire mental outlook of modern civilized man on the world about him. Perhaps one of the most telling evidences of this is his growing freedom from superstition(迷信). Freedom from superstition is the result of the belief that the world is not governed by sudden and foolish wishes, but that it is a world of order and can be understood by man if he will only try hard enough and be clever enough. This belief that the world is understandable is, doubtless, the most important single gift of science to civilization. The widespread acceptance of this view can be dated to the discovery by Newton of the universal influence of the law of gravitation; and for this reason Newton may be justly regarded as the most important person who made great contributions to modern life.1) The authors chief purpose in writing this passage is _. A.to give an opinion of the chief benefit of science B.to inform readers about important scientific principles C.to list the modern conveniences produced by science D.to persuade readers that science leads to civilization2) The underlined word “colors” is closest in meaning to _. A.”makes beautiful” B.”makes colorful” C.”gives a new meaning to” D.”gives a special effect to”3)According to the author, Newtons chief contribution was his _. A.encouragement of intelligent research B.great book on the laws of gravity C.understanding of a world based on order D.early development of scientific methods 完形填空，并将所选答案之字母填入答题纸上相应的空格。（10%） Throughout history gold has been important in human society.
