Passage one
As world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressure from the expanding number of people. Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately, and they feel we should turn to compulsory birth control. Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of mankind would be seriously jeopardized (危害). They think that very intelligent people would be more likely to have fewer children and this would bring about a lowering of the general level of intelligence in the population as a whole. However, some critics see a fallacy in this argument. In addition to genetics, they say, intelligence depends on an adequate diet, a good home environment, parental attention, and education--- all of which are increasing in the world as the general population becomes more affluent.
16. Some people think birth control is _____.
A. too strict B. not a workable idea
C. dangerous D. only for religious people
17. Critics say intelligence is based on _____ .
A. a good home environment B. adequate
C. genetics D. all of the above
18. The word “fallacy” probably means ____.
A. False idea B. Different idea
C Unique idea D. Dangerous idea
19. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The whole world is faced with the problem of increasing population.
B. Some scientists argued that birth control can affect the level of intelligence
C. Genetics is one of the main factors to intelligence

D. Food, family attention and education have nothing to do with intelligence
20. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Birth control B. How to develop intelligence
C. Population and intelligence D. The importance of genetics

Passage two
It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming terrible. You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule. Perhaps we need a campaign calling for “Be Kind to Other Drivers” otherwise, it may get completely out of hand.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of the driver to resist the temptation to revenge when treated rudely. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tension of driving. A friendly nod or wave in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill. Tolerance is absolutely necessary in modern traffic condition. But such politeness is very rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem to recognize politeness when they see it.
A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me that it would help if motorist learn to drive correctly into traffic streams without causing the total blockages 拥堵 that may give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take平等互让 from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

21. According to the passage, troubles on the road are mainly caused by ______.
A. people’s attitude towards driver B. the rhythm of modern life
C. traffic condition D. the behavior of the driver
22. The sentence “You might tolerate the rude and in considerate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered drivers is the exception to the rule.” Implies that ____.
A. our society is unjust to well-mannered driver.

C. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists
D. the well-mannered motorists cannot tolerate the rude driver.
23. By “good sense” (para 2.) the writer means ______.
A. the driver’s prompt response to difficult conditions
B. the driver’s ability to understand and react politely
C. the driver’s tolerance of bad road conditions
D. the driver’s acknowledge of traffic regulations
24. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, _____.
A. drivers should be ready to yield to one another.
B. road users should make more sacrifices
C. drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to others

D. drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams
Passage three

What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.
We may think of all these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standards of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.
But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in some countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standard of our own country.

26. What we need in life is divided into ______ according to this article
A. the basic necessities and luxury
B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses
C. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense
D. the basic necessities and reliable income
27. A person who gets the basic necessities must ____ according to the writer.
A. have a reliable income B. learn how to please his manager

28. We all enjoy ____________.
A. having only reliable income
B. having reliable income and extra income

29. With time going on, ______.

B. the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller
C. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged
D. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury
30. If most people of a country have a television, we _______.

Passage four
Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.
The biggest “dream factories” are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can not. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys” win in the movie.
