After reading each passage, you will find5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how faraway it was. One of the most i nteresting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击)theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its centre. However, the moon has very little iron in its centre. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked atthe moon they ________.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronautsare people who ________.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested inthe moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.A. answers to the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send moreastronauts to spaceC. technology helped scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earthwithout the help of scientists19. It is believed by mostscientists that ________.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock fromMarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. themoon is made up of materials similar tothose of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable beca use ________.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered informationabout MarsC. it can answer many questions raised aboutthe moonandthe earthD. astronauts believethat the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions21 to 25 are basedon the following passage.I was 15 when I walkedinto McCarley’sBookstore inAshland, Ore., a nd began scanningtitles on the shelves. The man behind thecounter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I workedafterschool and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed(煮) coffee inthestudentunion during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. Butselling books was one of the most satisfying.One daya woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. Ishowed her virtuallyeverythingwe had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered th e pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a televisionreporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, tothe rest of his hand. His family could not affordcorrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor anda nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not thestore. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make senseof the world.21.

Since she worked in the bookstore after schoolB. When she could help people make sense of the worldC. If she sensed she was working for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)---a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS(global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are then slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, wheneverthey are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal(油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse requests from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, themainjustification forISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already beencarried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introducedgradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars──rather asseatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISAafter they have lived with it for a while──again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determinedby ________.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ________.A. to add less fuel to theengineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One ofthe major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ________.A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ________.A. are still in theirtesting periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention amongmotor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that ________.A. both could reduce the death rate intraffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting ma y run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her futurecareer. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director.“Ithought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after h er parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved,so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. An dI’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’sfootsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through ourwork. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, orthe way I’ m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me:I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina.Jolie became a funeral director atthe age of 26.B.
