24、Passage One To build power plants near the places where natural gas is found in large quantities, it is necessary to open huge new gas fields and construct the infrastructure(基础设施) required for large-scale production. Many thousands of miles of power lines must be put up to transmit electricity to c
25、enters of consumer demand. On the other hand, if the power plants are built near the centers of consumer demand, in order for them to burn gas, it is also necessary to build thousands of miles of pipelines to supply the fuel. Such pipelines can easily cost several million dollars per mile.Large coal
26、 mines, in contrast, are more widely spread and closer to most demand centers than natural gas fields. Increasing the supply of coal is possible by using the existing railroad system without constructing major new lines, although modifications(改建)must be made to smoothly handle the increased traffic
27、. Such a consideration provides coal an advantage over natural gas in most cases.Although coal is available at a comparatively lower and more stable price than natural gas, constructing a coal-fired power plant is much more expensive than one fueled by natural gas. Therefore, how to fuel a new elect
28、ric power plant is still a fundamental issue for discussion.36. What is the passage mainly about?A) Where to build new power plants.B) What fuel to use for new power plants.C) Advantages of power plants fueled by coal.D) Advantages of power plants fueled by natural gas.37. To construct a power plant
29、 where there is a large amount of natural gas, people need to do all the following EXCEPT _.A) opening huge new gas fieldsB) building infrastructuresC) building thousands of miles of pipelinesD) building power lines to transmit electricity38. The phrase “the increased traffic” (Paragraph 2) refers t
30、o the increase of transportation of _ . A) pipes B) coal C) natural gas D) building materials39. Compared with a power plant fueled by natural gas, a coal-fueled power plant _.A) requires no modifications of the railway systemB) is farther away from consumer demand centersC) uses a fuel supplied at
31、a higher priceD) costs more money in its construction40. What can be learned from the last paragraph of this passage?A) The choice of fuel for new power plants is yet to be made.B) Natural gas is a better fuel for new power plants.C) Coal is a better fuel for new power plants.D) It makes no differen
32、ce to use either fuel for new power plantsPassage TwoIn almost every urban are, the city is warmer than its immediately surrounding suburban and rural areas. Do the cities themselves generate enough heat to raise the temperature evidently? Is there something about cities that allow them to hold heat
33、?The heat generated by buildings, factories, vehicles, lighting, and other products of modern technology is enough to raise the temperature a degree or two in densely populated (人口稠密的) cities. The hot air blown out by air conditioners(空调机) during summer months affects the temperature outside as sure
34、ly, if less considerably, as they affect the temperature inside an air-conditioned room.But even if cities did not generate their own heat, they would still be warmer than rural or suburban areas. When the sun shines on the flat countryside, the light is reflected back to the sky. When the sun shine
35、s in a city, the light bounces (弹回)from building to building like a Ping-Pong ballmore of the suns warmth is absorbed in the city. In fact, buildings and cement streets can hold more heat and more sunlight than grass, trees, or the fields in the country.It is commonly assumed that air pollution is w
36、hat makes cities warmer. Since dust particles can absorb radiation, the theory goes, the more polluted the city, the higher the temperature is artificially raised.41. The word “immediately” in the first sentence most probably means _. A) at once B) directly C) closely D) right away42. The answer to
37、the second question in the first paragraph is given in _. A) paragraphs 3 and 4 C) paragraphs 2 and 4 B) Paragraphs 2 and 3 D) the last 3 paragraphs43. Each of the following generates heat in cities EXCEPT _. A) air conditioners B) dust particles C) vehicles D) factories44. When the sunlight bounces

39、d hold heat.B) Grass, trees and farm fields hold more heat.C) Dust particles can generate radiation.D) There is more sunlight in cities than in their suburbs.Passage Three Genetic (基因的)difference between bees in a bee group have been thought to be very small and unimportant. Scientists have thought
40、that the work of each bee is determined by the way the bee is brought up and fed. Now these beliefs have been proved to be mistaken. Two groups of American scientists have shown independently that most of the complex behavior of bees is not the result of upbringing(养育)after all. It is inherited(遗传的)
41、. Both teams of scientists were surprised by their findings. The question of how different genes make different bees do different jobs is, however, so far unanswered.The findings provide a big puzzle for biologists studying evolution. Bees are among the most co-operative of all insects. This had bee
42、n explained by a theory of “the selfish gene”. According to this theory, all bees have very similar genes and their co-operative behavior promotes the spread of these genes. From this it would follow that genetic variety should reduce co-operation. Now it seems the opposite is true. The scientists a
43、re fairly confident that their findings will turn out to apply to other social insects, for example, ants as well as bees.46. The two groups of American scientists have shown that different bees do different jobs because they _.A) are brought up in different ways B) eat different food C) undergo dif
44、ferent stages of evolution D) have different genes47. What was once thought to be important in determining a bees behavior? A) Social activities. B) Upbringing. C) Different jobs. D) Genes.48. Up to now scientists cannot explain _.A) why bees are social insectsB) why bees have complex behaviorC) how
45、 genes control bees behaviorD) how their findings apply to social insects49. The biologists studying evolution are puzzled by _. A) genetic differences between bees C) co-operative behavior of bees B) similar genes shared by bees D) work division among bees50. The word “follow” in Line 4, Paragraph
46、2 could be replaced by _. A) go behind B) go on C) be safe D) be truePassage Four The prices of raw materials and produce change every day, so offers are usually only firm for about twenty-four hours. The prices of manufactured goods, on the other hand, remain unchanged, as a rule, for weeks or mont
47、hs, so buyers can place orders on the basis of a manufactures printed price list.There are many ways of selling manufactured goods to foreign buyers. A manufacturer may maintain his own traveling representatives, or set up his own offices or companies abroad. Alternatively he may sell to an export h
48、ouse; in this case there is little financial risk for the producer, since the merchant acts as a buyer and pays for the goods himself. A third possibility is for the manufacturer to appoint foreign agents, who will work on commission. In this case goods may be sent unsold, and the agent is expected
49、to obtain the best price available; but this practice is more common with produce exports.A firm order is often called an indent(订货单), and there is a special type of commission agent called an indent house. A buyer either places a closed indent, which names the supplier, or an open indent, which lea
50、ves the choice of supplier to the agent. The indent agent usually takes a commission on the value of his purchase.51. It can be inferred from the passage that the price for an order of TV sets may be set according to _.A) the manufacturers printed price list C) the value of the row materialsB) a rul
51、e that remains unchanged D) daily changes of prices52. How many ways of selling manufactured goods are mentioned in the passage? A) Five. B) Four. C) Three D) Two53. An appointed foreign agent makes money by _. A) obtaining the best prices C) buying low and selling high B) taking a fee for his servi
52、ce D) earning profits from his sales54. When an agent gets an open indent, he will _. A) sell the goods to the supplier C) find the name of the supplier B) supply the needed goods D) find a supplier to order the goods55. This passage mainly tells us about _.A) foreign agents C) open indents B) Expor
53、ting practice D) Changing pricesPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15minutes) Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.
