11、一个最佳答案，并在答案纸上将相应的字母涂黑。Passage OneQuestion 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Trees are useful to Man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately in many parts of the world, Man h

12、as not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that with them he has lost the best friends he had.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees t

13、o build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of tre

14、es, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The village wants wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does

15、 not only mean that the villagers sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain

16、falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich top-soil, in which crops grow so well. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21. Trees can help us in many ways, among which the most important is that _.A. they can be

17、 used to build warshipsB. they can be used to cook food withC. they provide us with wood and other productsD. they help prevent droughts and floods22. Which of the following may serve as an example of “drawing quick profit from the trees” (see paragraph 2)?A. A villager cuts down the trees and sells

18、 them.B. People make use of trees to prevent droughts and floods.C. A group of couple sit and rest in the shade of a big tree.D. People plant trees and use them to attract birds.23.

19、gained itself an empireC. how a powerful empire rose and fellD. how nature punishes man who failed to protect his environment24. The story of the empire suggests that _.A. without trees there would be no warshipsB. it was trees that made the empire fall to piecesC. trees could help make a country ri

20、ch and powerfulD. trees made the soil hard and poor25. In the last sentence, “nothing remains but worthless desert” means _.A. desert remains nothing worthlessB. all are gone except worthless desertC. desert is far from worthlessD. worthless desert remains nothingPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are ba

21、sed on the following passage.If we look at mens reaction to the womens movement, we find several ideas that conflict with each other. Men consider the movement dangerous, but they also consider it ridiculous. On the one hand, men fear that it will ruin the balance of power between the sexes and dest

22、roy normal relationships of all kinds; but on the other hand they claim it will soon disappear. For one reason or another, women are said to be unfitted for success in the world; yet it is also said that they will compete so successfully that they will take jobs away from deserving men.Oppositions t

23、o the womens movement has many causes. The first is the fact that the movement raises questions of power. The changes women demand are compelling men to do some serious thinking, not only about their relationship to women but also about their relationship to the whole power structure of our society.

24、 That is a hard and unwelcome task.Secondly, there is the very real problem that womens demands mean different things to men from what they mean to women. Women say, “We are human beings like you in whom there happens to exist a sex difference. We recognize that difference, but why should if apply t

25、o more than sex?”To men, this is a dangerous and disturbing question. The ability of women to see themselves as human beings first and females only second is the product of a change in womens life experiences. This change has not yet been matched by a corresponding change in mens lives.Some men natu

26、rally fear that admitting women to equality will threaten their own insecure position. This is less true for the powerful male, who finds it easy to dominate. To the weak male, however, women have become the only territory on which his power can be exercised. And so, for such men, women must be a na

27、meless and faceless creature with the right to say yes but not no.26. Mens reaction to womens movement is _.A. ridiculousB. dangerousC. fearingD. complicated27. One reason that men oppose womens movement is that _.A. they are afraid women would be more successfulB. they should answer some difficult

28、questionsC. they have to think about their relationship with womenD. they have to adapt themselves to the change in power structure28. What women said about the sex difference imply that _.A. there should be no difference between men and womenB. men believe there is more than the sex difference betw

29、een men and womenC. men have neglected the difference between men and womenD. the difference between men and women is not important at all29. The word “matched” in Para. 4 means _.A. competedB. equaledC. consideredD. agreed30. Who is likely to fear womens movement most?A. A weak manB. A powerful man

30、C. A weak woman D. A powerful womanPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.There are altogether in the United States some 2,300 universities, colleges, junior colleges, and other institutions of higher education. What this means is that most high-school graduates can find

31、not too far from home a place to continue their education.What are the main varieties of institutions of higher education? To begin with, some of them perhaps as many as 200 have very special purposes and consequently deal only with special kinds of students. Examples are Bible colleges, art institu

32、tes, etc.About 700 of the 2,300 are junior colleges offering a two-year program. These institutions enroll about a fifth of the students in college today, roughly 1,500,000 out of 7,000,000.The largest number of institutions are liberal arts colleges, offering four-year programs leading to a bachelo

33、rs degree, but not offering any higher degrees. Almost all of these colleges are privately controlled. There are more than 700 institutions of this type. Because most of these colleges are small, however, they account for only about 10 percent of all enrollments.Then there are about 400 institutions

34、 that are also primarily undergraduate but in addition offer work in some academic or professional fields leading to a masters degree or first professional degree. These include many liberal arts colleges that have expanded to include a fifth year in the field of teacher education, and also many sta

35、te colleges or smaller universities that offer masters degrees and professional degrees in a variety of fields, but do not offer a doctors degree.Finally, there is a group of comprehensive universities that offer the highest levels of professional and academic degrees doctors degrees in sciences, so

36、cial sciences, medicine, engineering, education, etc. as well as masters and bachelors degrees. Almost without exception these are large complex institutions. Although there are only about 150 of them, nearly half of all the young people in higher education today are enrolled in them.31. How many ty
