单选题{{B}}Section B{{/B}} There is one passage in this section with
five unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, and then complete each
statement in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer
sheet. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The taipan is an aggressive hunter, moving at speed through
grasslands with ease. On finding its prey by scent, the reptile flings itself at
the victim and inflicts several rapid bites. Like most other venomous snakes,
the taipan uses its venom sparingly. As they don't regard man as prey, they have
been known to strike and bite without releasing any venom at all, leading to no
adverse effects. Although the taipan is the deadliest Australian
snake, few snakes can match the sinister reputation of the eastern tiger snake
(notechis scutatis). However, recent observations indicate that their
ferocity and aggressiveness are not as bad as once thought and that actually
they are fairly timid. There are different types of tiger snakes found in
Australia but they are all highly poisonous and should be avoided. Until
recently tiger snakes held the record for the most snakebite fatalities (now
overtaken by the eastern brown snake). The body of the tiger
snake has cross bands of yellow or cream on a background of grey, green or brown
and this is what gives them their name. They have a heavy, build and can grow up
to 1.8 metres. In the wild they are mainly a swamp dwelling species and are
often found around waterways. Their habitat is now threatened by the clearing of
such areas for development. They have been known, though, to climb into
surrounding vegetation to a height of about 1 metre. They mainly feed on frogs
and mice as adults, but will take the odd bird or lizard.
Another highly dangerous Australian snake is the copperhead (austrelaps
superbus). Although it is non-aggressive, if provoked it raises its forebody
from the ground and flattens its neck, angry and hissing, ready to strike. Like
all other Australian poisonous snakes it is an elapid, which means it has
neurotoxic venom. This venom mainly attacks the nerves of the body, but it also
contains blood destroying properties. The poison from elapids is generally very
dangerous to humans and the copperhead is no exception having very potent
venom. Pythons are also found in Australia, the carpet python
(morlelia spilota) being the most common. There are several different types of
carpet python in Australia. They are widespread and can be found in a variety of
habitat from wet tropics to dry, nearly, arid desert. They can be found in
variable colours but usually have lighter blotches on a darker background.
Carpet pythons are also bigger than most Australian snakes and can grow up to a
length of almost 4 metres. The carpet python is largely
nocturnal and preys mainly on mammals, birds and reptiles. Non-venomous, pythons
bite into their prey and, when the prey struggles, it only sinks further onto
the fangs. Next, the python coils around the animal to squeeze its breath out
or, in some cases, to constrict its muscles and cause the main blood vessels to
burst. One of the easiest snakes to identify in Australia is the
bandy bandy ( vermicelli annulata). This is a distinctly marked elapid snake
with black and white bands around it. It is found in 80% of mainland Australia.
The bandy bandy averages about 60cm in length but can grow up to 80cm. It is
found in all types of habitat from rainforest to swamps to deserts. It is
usually found during the day under cover or on a mild night moving around the
ground. The bandy bandy is a crepuscular or after-dark hunter though it seldom
feeds due to its low metabolic rate. Unlike many of its cousins in Australia, it
only feeds on blind snakes. Being an elapid, the bandy bandy is
definitely a poisonous snake and looks alarmingly dangerous as it resembles the
Malay krait and, when threatened, will flatten its body and raise its body in an
aggressive manner. However, the markings and behaviour are a bluff and its venom
is only mild and virtually harmless to humans.

The warden led us in single file along
a narrow line of paving-slabs that ran past the huts. Every so often, four steps
led to a front door. We could hear people inside, shouting at children.
'The overcrowding has to be seen to be believed,' he said as he
shook his head forlornly. We squeezed to one side as a sullen woman passed us,
carrying a bucket of coal. She had the look of someone who was old before her
time. The warden went up the last set of steps, opened the door
with a jangling bunch of keys, took one off the ring and handed it to me.
'There you are. Home Sweet Home. There's a bath in that hut by
the trees; get the key from me when you want one, ' he said, and he came clown
the steps, leaving us room to go up. 'I hope you can make a go of it, ' he said.
'At least we've got you a bit of furniture.' We walked into a
square 'cell' with a table and two chairs and a two-seater settee. No two of
anything were the same; it all looked like furniture from a charity shop, which
I suppose it was. There was a double hotplate on top of a low cupboard, and a
dead black stove against the back wall with a scuttle beside it containing a few
lumps of fuel. The adjoining 'cell' had a double bed with a pink plastic
mattress cover, glistening like wet salmon. There was a cupboard that hung open
because the door catch had gone. Inside the cupboard were two meagre blankets.
The bedroom was freezing. I struggled to shut the top flap of
the window, but it was jammed open by rust. There were bits of yellowing
sellotape all round the wall near it, where previous inmates had tried to block
the draught with cardboard. I sat on the bed with my head in my
hands, wondering how long we would have to spend here before we found a real
home, and noticing, as I glanced sideways into the front room, that a thin film
of dust was blowing under the front door. We took the plastic
cover off the mattress because it looked worse than the stains underneath. The
blankets smelled, but we had to keep warm somehow. We had been
in this place exactly a week when, on returning in the evening, we went up to
our front door and heard children's voices and a transistor radio. We peered
round the door at a jumble of people and things and colours. The people turned
round and we all looked at each other. The muddle resolved itself into a huge
woman and a little man, and two small children. They had a lot of stuff, mostly
carrier bags and laundry bags with clothes spilling out, and a couple of buckets
full of kitchen equipment which we'd have been glad to have ourselves.
They didn't want to share with us any more than we did with
them, but that's what the warden had told them to do. We argued about it, though
it seemed ridiculous to quarrel over accommodation which none of us really
wanted anyway. QUESTIONS:

单选题{{B}}Section A{{/B}} Directions: There is one
passage in this section with 5 questions. For each question, there are four
choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best
choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a
single line through the centre.
Questions 51 - 55 are based on
the following passage. In many countries there is a
fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the
bill at a hotel or restaurant "for the service". In other places the customer
may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of
appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States there is no
consistent practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large
city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when
and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general,
however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi
drivers (except, perhaps, in small towns), and by those who serve you in hotels
and restaurants. When you pick up your incoming luggage at an
airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually
expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you
to your hotel may have one meter that shows the cost of the trip and another
that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for "extra". In some cities
the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the "extra", especially if he
carries your suitcase, ff no "extra" is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels
generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is
added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries
your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each
bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15
percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who
has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the
larger, more expensive places. If the order is small--a cup of coffee at a lunch
counter, or something of the sort--a tip is not usually expected.
