Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. A research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well. Some cultures are prone to cause certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meat, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct .Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 31.How has science done a disservice to mankind? _____.

A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually done away

Federal Dairy Additives 34.The word carcinogenic means most nearly the same as _____. A. trouble-making B. color-retaining C. money-making D. cancer-causing 35.Which of the following statements is not true?_____.

A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the

living animals

C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for over thirty-five

years

D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.

One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured good. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.

36. A small population may mean _____ .

A. higher productivity, but a lower average income B. lower productivity, but a higher average income C. lower productivity, and a lower average income

D. higher productivity, and a higher average income

37. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _____ . A. agriculture B. transport system C. industry D. national economy 38.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _____ . A. goes up B. is decreasing C. remains stable D. is out of control 39. According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for _____ . A. a developing nation B. a developed nation C. every nation with a big population D. every nation with a small nation

40. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because

3

_____ .

A. there too many underdeveloped countries in the world

B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development C. different governments have different views of the question D. even developed countries may have complex problems Part III Translation.

Passage One

Why was the Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Chares V. By the seventeenth century it had ceased to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille's workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed carriages. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever. Only the King’s letter could set him free.

Over the years the number of arrests by King's letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corrupt deeds of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there in 1717-1718, and another l2 days in 1726.

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, the “Conquerors of the Bastille” found only seven prisoners inside. None the less, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King's complete power.

31. The Bastille had been a prison __________________. A. since the time of Charles V B. since 1370

C. before the seventeenth century D. since the time of Cardinal Richelieu

32. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?

C. some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking D. only seven prisoners.

34. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true? A. All prisoners in the Bastille suffered life imprisonment.

B. Over the years the number of Prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more. C. The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.

D. At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people. 35. The main purpose of this passage is to .

A. tell a story

B. tell about interesting characters

C. show the inner working of the Bastille D. try to prove a point

PASSAGE TWO How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down, these sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds, Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style(文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).

36. Which is true about origin of language?

A. Men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughts. B. The origin of language is not a complicated question. C. Words did not have written form, at first. D. Words were invented to represent meanings. 37. The power of words lies in _____.

A. the fact that it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our mind B. the fact that one word is connected with another C. the fact that it can associate one person with another D. the fact that it can recall to us the events of our past

38. In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should _____. A. use words that can move men to tears B. choose words with care and accuracy C. become a master of words D. use words which sing like music

39. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. The more we read and learn, the larger our vocabulary will be.

7

B. The longer we live, the number of words that mean something to us increases. C. Words can be used to represent various meanings. D. Literary style is usually very charming. 40.The best title for this passage would be _____. A. The meaning of words

B. The characteristics of words C. The origin of words D. The power of words Part III Tranlation.

Child labor, the employment of children in industry, often against their will, has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.

Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start it is often harmful to their health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working condition. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their lone hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.

The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, great supervision of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their lives------childhood. 31. Which of the following statements is true according to the first paragraph?

A. Children are often willing to work in factories. B. Most children are working in British factories.

C. The working conditions for children have been improved since Dickens’ times.

D. Charles Dickens described in his novels the poor working conditions for child labor. 32. The conditions under which young children work ____________.
