Ⅱ. Reading and comprehension (20 points)
Questions21—25 are based on the following passage:
The problem of the American robin is an example of the hidden dangers involved in the use of insecticides. Elm trees in the United States, like those in Europe, are being attacked by Dutch elm disease. This fungal disease is spread by the elm bark beetle.
American scientists have attacked the disease by attacking the carrier. They have treated the trees with a chemical which kills the beetles. But the substance they use sticks to the leaves of the trees. These leaves are a basic food of a certain type of earthworm which is itself not affected by the insecticide. The worms can store up huge quantities of this poison in their systems. The robin eats these worms and is thus being poisoned by its normal food. The bird is already in danger of dying out in some areas.
It is sometimes difficult to foresee side effects like these, which is why many people object to the use of chemical sprays. They fear that man may be poisoning himself in the same way as he has poisoned the American robin and other higher organisms at the top of food chains.
21. The carrier that spreads Dutch elm disease is
A. The American robin B. the earthworm
C. the elm bark beetle D. the elm leaf
22. Dutch elm disease attacks elm trees not only in the United states but also in
A. the Dutch East Indies B. Japan
C. France D. New Zealand
23. The insecticide is used by American scientists to
A. kill the earthworms B. kill the beetles
C. poison the robins D. poison the elm leaves
24. The American robin die when they
A .touch the insecticide B. eat the elm leaves
C. eat the earthworm D. eat the beetles
25.the main idea of the passage is that
A the side effects o f insecticides may be serious and hard to predict.
B the robin is near extinction in some parts of the world.
C American scientists have succeeded treating Dutch elm disease.
D elm trees must be protected against beetles.
Questions26—30 are based on the following passage:
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red ? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply ;perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
26."You would rather follow than lead" means_______.

D. according to other facts
29.Which of the following is facts?
A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct
B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.

A .its shape
B. its structure
C. its colour
D .its building materials
Questions31—35 are based on the following passage:
The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health . Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon(结肠).Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945,government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐) commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
31. How has science done a disservice(损害) to mankind?
A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated.
B. It has caused a lack if information concerning the value of food.
C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.
D. The scientists have preserved the colour of meats, but nor of vegetables.
32. What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.
B. They preserve the color of meats.
C. They are the objects if research.
D. They cause the animals to become fatter.
33. What does FDA mean?
A. Food Direct Additives. B. Final Difficult analysis
C. Food and Drug administration. D. Federal Dairy Additives
34.The word carcinogenic means most nearly the same as
A. trouble –making B. colour-retaining
C .money –making D. cancer-causing
35. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons,
B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.
C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for over sixty years.
D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.
Questions 36—40 are based on the following passage:
More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty．Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister．He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production．It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries．The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade．
French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people，let alone long-ranged developments．Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point．Rents were tightly controlled，but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food．Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers' income．Wages，it is true，had risen．Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state，and there was full-time and overtime employment．Taken together，these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security．In this precarious（不稳定的）and discouraging situation，workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages．
The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country．It was feared this immigration of workers would deplete the labor force．The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced．Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries．Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries．
36．According to the passage，the French workers were ________ ．
A. better paid than the workers in any other European countries
B. able to save more money with the increase in their wages
C. anxious to work abroad
D. often unable to find work in France
37．Rene Coty and Charles Deschanel were both interested in ________．
A. better quality in production
B. increasing quantity in production
C. havi
