and

D.

You

should

decide

on

the

best

choice

and

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

People

and

the

sources

of

air

pollution

are

found

in

the

same

places.

This

means

that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air

pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is

the gas fumes (

烟尘

) from cars. Another major source of dirty air is the burning

of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course,

much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.

On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The

burning

of

garbage

leads

to

air

pollution.

Many

major

industries

are

also

the

cause

of the dirty air in and around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and

petroleum production add particles (

粉尘

) to the air.

The effects

of air pollution range from mild headaches

to death.

The levels of

pollution found in heavy traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear sight.

Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants. In some

of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by leading to

lung diseases and causing early death.

show

your

secret

because

you

can

control

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Steve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university.

Yaser was an international student from Jordan. He wanted to learn more about

American culture. Yaser hoped that he and Steve would become good friends.

At

first,

Steve

seemed

very

friendly.

He

always

greeted

Yaser

warmly

before

class.

Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to eat lunch with

him. But after the semester was over, Steve seemed more distant. The two former

请浏览后下载，资料供参考，期待您的好评与关注！

classmates didn't see each other very much at school. One day Yaser was hurt by

Steve's change of attitude; he thought they were friends forever.

Yaser is a little confused. He is an outsider to American culture. He doesn't

understand

the

way

Americans

view

friendship.

Americans

use

the

word

“

friend

in

a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances (

相识的人

) and close

companions

and

neighborhood

friends.

These

friendships

are

based

on

common

interests.

When

the

shared activity ends, the friendship may fade.

In some cultures friendship means a strong life-long bond (

关系

) between two

people.

In

these

cultures

friendships

develop

slowly,

since

they

are

built

to

last.

American

society

is

one

of

rapid

change.

Studies

show

that

one

out

of

five

American

families

moves

frequently.

Americans

develop

friendship

quickly,

and

they

may

change

just as quickly.

People

from

the

United

States

may

at

first

seem

friendly.

Americans

often

chat

easily

with

strangers.

They

exchange

information

about

their

families,

hobbies

and

work.

They

may

smile

warmly

and

say,

a

nice

day

or

you

later.

Schoolmates

may

say,

get

together

sometime.

But

American

friendliness

is

not

always

an

offer of true friendship.

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Newspapers,

along

with

reporting

the

news,

educate,

entertain,

and

give

opinions.

An important way for reading a large, big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it

apart. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news,

sports, business, entertainment, opinions, classified advertisements? Does your

paper have other sections?

News stories give facts, not the author's opinions. Editorials (

社论

) do the

opposite,

you

can

expect

an

editorial

to

take

sides.

Some

newspaper

editorials

have

a by-line with the author's name, but many newspapers have unsigned (

未署名的

)

editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.

You

can

be

a

better

reader

if

you

know

what

to

expect

in

a

newspaper.

For

example,

you

can

expect

headlines

to

omit

unnecessary

words.

You

can

expect

to

find

the

most

important facts in the first paragraph of a news story. You can expect important

news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on

the inside pages.

Most of all, the more you know about the current news, the more you will

understand

what

is

in

the

newspaper;

important

stories

are

generally

presented

one

day and

followed

up on

following days. So, an

important way

for reading

newspapers

is reading one frequently.

16. When reading a large newspaper, one should

▲

.

A. read it from cover to cover
