　一．(A)
　　One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had a long night ahead of me, I brought a portable(手提式的) TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused (集中) brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoes(踮脚尖) out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's forty-fifth birthday.
　　My wife and I heard none of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
　　I found in my baby's behavior a metaphor(暗语) for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit upon(不屑一顾) them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don't read and they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have reached a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch it all they want!
　　1. Why did the author bring a TV set into his son's room?
　　A. To make his son stop crying. 　B. To spend the night by watching TV programs.
　　C. To leave it to his son. D. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.
　　2. The baby's reaction to the TV program was _______ .
　　A. unexpected B. exciting C. awful D. calm
　　3. According to the passage, which is true of the school children?
　　A. They prefer reading to watching TV. B. They like watching TV only after school.
　　C. They would rather watch TV than read books. D. They like their teachers who teach them reading.

　　4. What do you think is the author's attitude towards TV expressed in the last two sentences?
　　A. Favorable. B. Serious. C. Not favorable. D. Not serious.
　　(B)
　　How many men do housework? Recently a European commission (委员会) tried to find out people's ideas and reactions to the women's movement. As part of their survey
　　(调查), they asked many men and women the question: “Who does the housework?” The men answered very differently from the women!
　　The housework they asked people about were: preparing meals, washing dishes, cleaning the house and babysitting. 48% of British husbands said they did these things. 37% of Danish men helped in the house. But only 15% of Italian men said they did the housework; many of them said they never helped at all.
　　But there was an interesting point of view from the wives. According to British wives, only 38% of their husbands helped in the house. And Italian wives said that their husbands hardly ever helped. The Italian and British men did not tell the truth! The Commission found that Danish men were the most trustful husbands; their answers were the same as their wives' answers.
　　Do the men you know help in the house? Do you think the survey gives a true picture in your experience?
　　5. The subject for the survey is _______ .
　　A. how many boys do the housework B. who does the housework at home
　　C. how many women do the housework
　　D. who are more diligent, wives or husbands
　　6. From the passage we can see that _______ .
　　A. there were more husbands who did the housework than wives
　　B. husbands did half of the housework all the time
　　C. there were more wives who did the housework than husbands
　　D. wives did almost all the housework at home
　　7. More _______ husbands help in the house than _______ husbands.
　　A. British; Danish 　B. Italian; Danish 　C. Danish; British 　D. Italian; British
　　8. The survey shows that _______ husbands were the most honest.
　　A. Italian B. Danish C. British D. Both A and B

　　WASHINGTON—Nearly 40 million children in developing countries stand to lose one or both parents to AIDS (艾滋病) over the next 13 years, and almost 3 million children under 15 have caught the disease worldwide, US experts said.
　　“More than 40 million children in 23 developing nations will likely have lost one or both their parents by 2010. Most of these deaths will be the result of the HIVIAIDS and complicated illnesses,” Brian Atwood, a US official said. Meanwhile, since the first reported death of a child by AIDS in Los Angeles 15 years ago, almost 3 million children under 15 are estimated (估计) to have caught the disease worldwide, and at least 1,000 are dying each day.
　　“In countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America, HIVIAIDS is pulling years of progress in economic and social development,” he added.
　　“Life expectancy(估计寿命) which has been steadily on the rise for the last thirty years will drop to 40 years or less to nine African countries by the year 2020.”
　　Atwood said serious work to help stop children from dying in developing countries was being wiped out.
　　“In all 23 countries included in this study, AIDS related death will take away the gains made in child survival over the past 20 years. In Zambia and Zimbabwe, children's death rates will likely nearly double,” Atwood said.
　　9. AIDS is developing fast in _______ .
　　A. Europe 　B. North America 　C. poor countries 　D. rich countries
　　10. The first child who died of AIDS lived in _______ .
　　A. England B. Russia C. Japan D. America
　　11. AIDS is not only causing millions of death to human beings, but also _______ .
　　A. speeding the development of society 　B. slowing down the development of society
　　C. polluting the air 　D. breaking the balance of nature
　　12. The underlined words “wiped out ”mean _______ .
　　A. cleaned out 　B. truned down 　C. dried up 　D. destroyed completely

　　Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little hope of raising the money needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future interests.This they do by issuing stocks (股票) and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation (流通) the savings of single persons and institutions, both at home and abroad.
　　When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom be originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
　　Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local organizations. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not work. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local organizations , and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
　　There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
　　1. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is _______ .
　　A. exchanged for part ownership in the Stock Exchange
　　B. raised by the selling of shares in the companies
　　C. repaid to its original owners as soon as possible
　　D. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange
　　2. All the basic services on which we depend are _______ .
　　A. unable to provide for the needs B. financed wholly by rates and taxes
　　C. in constant need of financial support D. run by the Government or our local organizations
　　3. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local organizations and nationalized industries _______ .
　　A. to make certain everybody saves money 　B. to borrow as much money as they wish
　　C. to make certain everybody lends money to them D. to raise money to finance new development
　　4. The underlined word "invest" here probably means _______ .
　　A. lose more money with B. provide less money with
　　C. borrow less money with D. buy shares in order to make a profit

　　不问年老年少都可以养成好习惯和坏习惯。好习惯受益终身,坏习惯贻害无穷。因此,应当学好祛恶
　　Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.
　　There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.
　　Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).
　　We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.
　　1. ________ are formed little by little.
　　A. Good habits B. Bad habits C. Both good habits and bad habits D. Either good habits or bad habits
　　2. The underlined word "them" in the first paragraph refers to ________.
　　A. bad habits B. good habits C. children D. other persons
　　3. Generally speaking, it's difficult for one ______ and easy
