It 31 (argue) that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked 32(intensive). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with 33 smaller population. One of the 34(difficult) in carrying out a world-wide birth control program is that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In a developing country 35 a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, 36 will be the first concern of government to place a limit 37 the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a 37(decline) market. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. 39(face) with such considerations, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which is stable 40 in decline.III 阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AValentines Day has its origins in the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia, a yearly festival held on Feb. 15 to help keep dangerous wolves away from townspeople and their crops. On the eve of the festival, Feb. 14, the young women of the town would write their names on small pieces of paper, put them in a jar, and every young man would pick out a name at random. The pair would then be partners for the rest of the festival.It was 270 B.C. when St. Valentine stood up for love, after Roman Emperor Claudius II forbade Roman soldiers to get engaged or married, believing that married men would rather stay at home than go to war. The priest named Valentine, in defiance(对抗) of Claudius orders, secretly married young couples, and on Feb. 14, was punished for his “crime”, thereby becoming the patron saint（守护神） of lovers.Besides this story, there are some old beliefs about this day:During the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that birds chose their mates each year on Feb. 14.Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin fly overhead on Valentines Day, it meant she would marry a sailor; if she saw a sparrow, shed marry a millionaire.If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will know how many children you will have.And some charming Valentines Day Customs.In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on Feb. 14.Heart, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations, which meant “you unlock my heart!”In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. Theyd wear these names on their sleeves for one weekhence the term “to wear your heart on your sleeve”.41.

If you wear your heart on your sleeve, you _.A. openly express your feelings or emotions to others.B. hardly take your feelings or emotions very seriously.C. officially announce that you have been marriedD. proudly show your choice of sleeve patternBWhat Is a Boy?Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a “boy”. Boys come in different sizes, weights, and colors, but all boys have the same belief: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.Boys are found everywhere on top of, under, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to this and that! Mothers spoil them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers love them, and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face，BEAUTY with a cut on its finger, WISDOM with chocolate in its hair, and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.When you are busy, a boy is a trouble maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.A boy is a mixture he has the stomach of a horse, the digestion of stones and sand, the energy of an atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the imagination of a superman, the shyness of a sweet girl, the brave nature of a bull, the violence of a firecracker, but when you ask him to make something, he has five thumbs on each hand.He likes ice cream, knives, saws, Christmas, comic books, woods, water (in its natural habitat), large animals, Dad, trains, Saturday mornings, and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools, company, schools, books without pictures, music lessons, neckties, barbers, girls, overcoats, adults, or bedtime.Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs, and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife, a half eaten apple, a three-foot rope, six cents and some unknown things.A boy is a magical creature he is your headache but when you come home at night with only shattered pieces of your hopes and dreams, he can mend them like new with two magic words, “Hi, Dad!”46. The whole passage is in a tone(调子) of _.A. humor and loveB. respect and harmonyC. ambition and expectationD. confidence and imagination47. What does the underlined sentence in Para 4 probably mean?A. He has altogether five fingers.B. He is slow, foolish and clumsy.C. He becomes clever and smart.D. He cuts his hand with a knife.48. According to the writer, boys appreciate everything in the following EXCEPT _.A. ice creamB. comic booksC. Saturday morningsD. Sunday schools49. What does the writer feel about boyhood?A. Curious.B. Tiring.C. Delightful.D. Unsafe 50. The writer is probably _.A. a cheerful young bachelor B. a keenly observant father C. an appreciative fond mother D. a spoiled naughty kid CStatuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we fit in society. As we go about our everyday lives，we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example，we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian，whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman，whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader，and so on. The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter， and change throughout life. Most of us can， at very high speed， assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others，most of us perform it rather effortlessly. A status has been compared to readymade clothes. Within certain limits， the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore， our choice is limited to a size that will fit， as well as by our pocketbook . Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made， but apart from minor adjustments， we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made， and the range of choice among them is limited.51. In the first paragraph，the writer tells us that statuses can help us _.A. determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB. behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC. protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD. make friends with other people52. According to the writer，people often assume different statuses _.A. in order to identify themselves with othersB. in order to better identify othersC. as their mental processes changeD. as the situation changes53. The underlined word appraisal(Para.2) most probably means _.A. involvement B. appreciation C. judgment D. presentation54. In the last sentence of the second paragraph， the pronoun it refers to _.A. fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB. identification of other peoples statusesC. selecting ones own statusesD. constant mental process55. By saying that an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince (Para.3)， the writer means _.A. different people have different styles of clothesB. readymade clothes may need alterationsC. statuses come ready made just like clothesD. our choice of statuses is limited 第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息, 并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是有关博物馆、音乐厅、剧院、大学等的信息：A.
