The pine (松) tree is a special kind of tree. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree. This is because many people put pine trees in their homes at Christmas time. Pine trees are different from other trees because most other trees lose their leaves in the winter. Pine trees stay green all year long, even in the winter. Pine trees are also called evergreens because they are always green. Pine trees do not have soft leaves like other trees. They have hard, thin leaves. Pine trees also have pine cones. If you walk in a forest, you will see many pine cones on the ground. Inside the pine cones are seeds. When the seeds fall to the ground, a new tree starts to grow.

Pine trees are useful for many reasons. The wood is used to make many things, such as tables, beds and boats. Many kinds of birds build their homes in pine trees. The seeds of pine trees are food for some small and big animals.

If you walk in a forest of pine trees, the air has a wonderful smell. In winter, the white snow on the dark green trees looks very beautiful.

Passage 1

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Do you sometimes oversleep? Are you often late for work or school? Yes? Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed will get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:

The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few minutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be loud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical ―foot‖ is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are awake and out of bed.

Hiroyuki made his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He works for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a contest—the ―All Honda Idea Contest‖.

Passage 2

Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano (火山) broke out. The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.

As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break into pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this

12

B) A company worker. C) An inventor. D) A carpenter.

way, soil and sand came into being.

Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow at first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island. 26. The main point of the passage is ______. A) how an island formed

B) how an volcano broke out

D) how plants and animals began to live on an island in the sea

C) how plants were brought to the island

30. Which order of coming into being on the volcano-produced island is right? A) Hot liquid rock, animals and plants. B) Soil, hot liquid rock and plants. C) Spiders, birds and plants. D) Soil, plants and animals. 26-30 DAADD Passage 3

A major new development in systems of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working hours, or ―flextime‖, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.

Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain ―key‖ times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.

The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.

From the employers’ point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.

31. According to the passage, the ______ invented ―flexible working hours‖. A) Japanese A) understand

B) Americans B) seize

C) Germans C) perceive

D) British D) become popular

32. The phrase ―catch on‖ (in Para. 1) most probably means ______. 33. What is one of the advantages of ―flextime‖ for workers? A) They can earn more money. C) They will do less work.

B) They can avoid busy traffic. D) They can avoid working hard.

34. Which one is NOT an advantage of ―flextime‖ for employers? A) A better balance between working and private life. B) It reduces labor turnover.

C) It gives the workers a greater sense of duty. D) It tends to increase productivity.

13

35. The author ______ ―flextime‖ according to the passage. A) supports 31-35 CDBAA Passage 4

What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an obvious example. Man, even 500 years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. 500 years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.

Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change in the head, in particular the forehead, which will grow larger.

Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.

On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.

But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.

Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own. 36. The passage is mainly about ________. A) what future man's life will be B) what future man will look like C) future man's attractive appearance D) future man's thoughts and emotions

37. According to the passage, man in the future will ________. A) continue to grow shorter B) continue to grow taller C) not change in height D) be about three inches taller 38. Why will our forehead grow larger?

A) Because we make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. B) Because it's the tendency as time passes.

C) Because man had a very large forehead 500 years ago.

D) Because we use our brains more and more so we shall need a larger forehead. 39. Which of the following is NOT true?

A) In the future, both man and woman are likely to have no hair. B) It is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger in the future. C) Our fingers will grow more sensitive in the future. D) All future men will have to wear glasses.

40. In the last paragraph, the author believes that ________. A) man in the future grows very ugly

14

B) is against C) criticizes D) hates

B) future man has little in common with us

C) future man’s thoughts and emotions are similar to ours D) future man is not a human being 36-40 BBDDC

Passage 2

The pine (松) tree is a special kind of tree. Some people call the pine tree a Christmas tree. This is because many people put pine trees in their homes at Christmas time. Pine trees are different from other trees because most other trees lose their leaves in the winter. Pine trees stay green all year long, even in the winter. Pine trees are also called evergreens because they are always green. Pine trees do not have soft leaves like other trees. They have hard, thin leaves. Pine trees also have pine cones. If you walk in a forest, you will see many pine cones on the ground. Inside the pine cones are seeds. When the seeds fall to the ground, a new tree starts to grow.

Pine trees are useful for many reasons. The wood is used to make many things, such as tables, beds and boats. Many kinds of birds build their homes in pine trees. The seeds of pine trees are food for some small and big animals.
