单选题Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: (78) The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists (经济学家). 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 worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that of ficial 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 offood, 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 birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. (79) 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.

单选题Dr. James Barry was the first woman in England to go to medical school. When she was growing up, women could not go to medical school. (77)
So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.
No one knows Dr. Barry"s real name, her birth date, of her family"s background. Some records show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.
James Barry"s classmates made fun of her because she didn"t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studied surgery. A year later, she entered the army and became a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the army physical examination.
For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Everyone admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. (78)
At that time, England had many colonies around the world.
Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was soon known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor"s daughter, and later she became the governor"s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also had a reputation as a troublemaker, If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.
单选题{{B}}Passage 14{{/B}}
People all over the world today are
beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. (14)
{{U}}Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often
artificial (人造) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly
increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into
the sea.{{/U}} Whatever its underlying reasons are, there is no
doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies,
individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an
obvious need to control {{U}}litter{{/U}} and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or
four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly
sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter
problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and
paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to
buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do
buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by
cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the
products we use in our daily lives.

One{{/B}}
One of Britain's bravest women told
yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber,
and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could
{{U}}be in line for{{/U}} a share of up to the £30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the
nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years,
told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and
to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police
prepared to storm the building. She said: "I was very nervous.
But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car
park I was so glad they were there. " The alarm had been raised
because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day
before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat
pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much
and make any eye contact (接触)." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her
boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11
pm. Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel
in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted
man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a
policeman said 'Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers
outside?' My heart missed a beat." Vicki quietly showed eight
armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed
over the key. "I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that
part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but
I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with
his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for
him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐)."
单选题Thirty years ago, most teenagers had bicycles, but now they are comparatively rare. (56) , motor scooters (小型摩托车) are much more common. (57) , this may seem to be a sign of progress but (58) the change is not necessarily for the better. It is easy to see why young people prefer scooters. (59) , they are much faster and do not require much physical effort; (60) , you can take a passenger with you on the pillion (后座) seat behind; (61) , they give young people a feeling of independence, because they can travel further and impress their friends. (62) , the disadvantages are equally obvious. (63) first sight, scooters are more expensive to buy and to maintain, and (64) those under 16 are not allowed to have them. (65) , greater freedom brings danger because speed encourages young people to take risks and as a result scooters are involved (66) more accidents, and the accidents are (67) more serious. Bicycles are safer and easier to control. Years ago, teenagers had more experience with them because they (68) to ride as young children, and consequently knew what they were capable of. (69) , many young people overestimate what a scooter can do and pretend it has the power of a motorcycle. (70) , the fact is that bicycles are not very safe (71) in cities these days because there are more cars and drivers are not used to them and do not make allowances for them. (72) , those who are old enough to ride scooters naturally prefer them. Those who are too young or cannot afford to buy a scooter probably find bicycles slow and uncomfortable (73) , and riding bicycles requires (74) experience of traffic than before. On balance, the change has been for the worse, (75) for the 13-and 14-year-olds, but the only safe solution would be to have special lanes (车道) for cyclists.
