are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponentialG旨数的）rate.This means that they progressively double.As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month.After the first week,you would have only 64 cent,but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden“took from he beginning of human life to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion.That repents（缓 慢进行）a time span of at least two million years.Then it took from 1830 to 1930 fbr world population to reach 2 billion.The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9,OOOper hour,220,000 per day and 80 million per year.This is not only due to higher birth rate,but to lower death rate as well.The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia,Thailand,Morocco,Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more.The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years,with a rate of 0.8 percent per year.（81）Every time a population doubles,the country involved needs twice as much of everything,including hospitals,schools,resources,fbod and medicines to care for its people.It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve fbr the more rapidly growing countries.41.This passage chiefly discusses A.the growth of world population.B.one type of the exponential rate.C.the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D.the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42.According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on“all of a sudden”？A.The penny that doubles itself every day fbr one month.B.The time span of at least two million years in human history.C.An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D.The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43.It took fbr the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A.100 years B.175 years C.1975 years D.over two million years44.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B.Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C.The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D.The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45.When a population doubles,the country involved needs twice as much of everything includingA.hospitals and medicines B.schools and studentsC.food and manpower resources D.all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men.They are good at language and verbal reasoning,while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities.In fact,along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people.They are mainly social tools.Visual and spatial abilities are good fbr imagining and manipulating objects and fbr communicating information about them.Are these talents programmed into the brain?In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学)，it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that,if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes.Engineering is both Visual and spatial and ifs true that there are relatively few women engineers.But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills.They also do equally well at programming a computer,which is neither visual nor spatial.Women do,however,seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves.We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity.(82)A woman is more likely to see her car,rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46.According to the passage,women are usually good at.A.body language B.logical reasoningC.tasks demanding fbr the use of words D.both A and B47.The word accepted“in the last sentence of the first paragraph,roughly meansA.believed B.assumed C.received D.reconciled48.In the authors opinion,visual and spatial abilities are good fbr.A.achieving ones objects.B.mind and body.C.programming talents into the brain.D.imagination and communication.49.All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT.A.imagining and handling objects.B.providing a computer with a set of instructionsC.shooting a gun and driving an automobileD.planning and making things as an engineer does50.Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A.Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B.Because they are only good at language and verbal reasoning.C.Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D.Because they rarely use machines such as cars,rifles,computers,etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US.government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map.This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country.(83)The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belt”.The government is,spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions:1.Can we predict earthquake?2.Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question,scientists are looking very closely at the most active 也ult（断层）systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California,a fault is break between two sections of the earth5s surface.These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults fbr changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs.But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately.And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless,there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes.The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground.Shortly after this injection of water,there were a small number of earthquakes.Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other.When the water“oiled“the fault,the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released.Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes.They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity.They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes,that is,scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small,harmless earthquakes.51.Earthquake belts are.A.maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB.zones with a high probability of earthquakesC.breaks between two sections of the earths surfaceD.the two layers of earth along a fault52.The San Andreas fault is.A.an active fault systemB.a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC.a place where earthquake have been controlledD.the location of the Rocky Mountain53.What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A.They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB.The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C.They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D.Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54.What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A.They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B.They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.C.They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.D.he article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.55.What is the most appropriate title for the passage?A.Dangers of EarthquakeB.Earthquake Belts and PredictionC.Earthquake Prediction and ControlD.Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior.Viewed biologically,the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group.His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth.If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal,he enjoys the hunters triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers.They spent over a million years evolving(进化)as Cooperative hunters.Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field.(84)Under this pressure their whole way of lifb,even their bodies,became greatly changed：They became chasers,runners,jumpers,aimers,throwers and prey killers.They cooperated as skillful male group attack.Then about ten thousand years ago,after this immensely long period of hunting the food,they became farmers.Thei
