III. Reading comprehension (30 points,
2 points for each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the
following passage.
The problem of leisure is new. Until very recent times
people worked each day to the limit of their strength. Of
course there were always a privileged (有特权的)few who had
leisure; but most men had to work 12, 14, or even 16 hours a
day, six days a week. As late as 1840 the average factory
worker labored 72 hours a week. "Sunup to sundown" was the
farmer's day, or as another phrase puts it, "from can to
can't."
Today, working less than a 40-hour week, people enjoy
more leisure time. Hence, the wise use of leisure time has
become an important problem for everyone, young or old. It is
a particularly difficult problem for the sick, the aged, and
those who have retired from earning a living. Those people
have so much leisure that it is hard for them to find
interesting and worthwhile ways to use it .
However short the work week becomes, work is still
the most important part of life. We do not work to get leisure
and the pleasures leisure brings us; rather, we use leisure
wisely so that work itself can become awarding and enjoyable.
The feeling of success at doing one's daily work-whether it is
a job, maintaining a home, or going to school-depends largely
on coming to it each day with fresh energy and active
interest.
Leisure and recreation (消遗)go together, though they
are not necessarily the same thing. "Recreation" has and
obvious meaning. It is the kind of leisure activity that
brings "re-creation" of strength and spirit. When one speaks
of making good use of leisure, he means choosing recreational
activities which contribute to health, growth, and spirit.
21. The phrase "from can to can't" in Paragraph 1
means _____.
[a]from beginning to end
[b]from
birth to death
[c]from morning to night
[d]from
time to time
22.How to spend leisure time wisely is not a particularly
difficult problem for people _______.
[a]who are very
busy everyday
[b]who are sick in bed
[c]who are
aged and in good health
[d]who have retired from work
23.How does the author look at work and leisure?
[a]We work hard so that we can enjoy more leisure.
[b]We enjoy leisure so that we can come back to work with
fresh energy.
[c]Leisure can bring us a lot of
pleasures that work can not.
[d]The success of work has
little to do with how we spend our leisure time.
24. What is the relationship between leisure and
recreation, according to the author?
[a]Leisure and
recreation are closely related.
[b]Leisure and
recreation are identical.
[c]Recreation covers all
kinds of leisure activities.
[d]Recreation does not
belong to any leisure activity.
25. From the passage we know that _____.
[a]leisure has been an old problem since ancient times
[b]leisure can not be replaced as the most important part of
life
[c]our success in work is mostly determined by
whether we use leisure wisely
[d]good recreational
activities contribute greatly to health, growth and spirit
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on
the following passage.
Each nation has its own peculiar character which
distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the world
have more points in common than points in which they differ.
One type of person that is common in every country is the one
who always tries to do as little as possible and to get as
much as possible in return. His opposite, the man who is in
the habit of doing more than is strictly necessary and who is
ready to accept what is offered in return, is rare everywhere.
Both these types are usually unconscious of their
character. The man who avoids effort is always talking about
his "rights": he appears to think that society owes him a
pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his
share talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in
debt to society, and not society to the individual. As a
result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he
behaves at all strangely.
The man who tries to do as little as he can is always
full of excuses: if he has neglected to do something, it was
because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot -or too
cold- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other
people, such as his friends and his employer, generously
accept his stories; but soon they realize what kind of person
he is .In the long run he deceives only himself. When his
friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress
in his job, he is surprised and hurt. He blames everyone and
everything except himself. He feels that society is failing in
its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly
treated.
26.The central idea of Paragraph 1 is that ____.
[a]each nation is peculiar enough to enable us to
distinguish it from others
[b]the peoples of the world
are as alike as they are different
[c]the peoples of
the world have more similarities than differences
[d]those who do more than is strictly necessary are common in
every country
27. According to Paragraph 1, the man who does more
than is required ____.
[a]is ready to accept what the
society offers him
[b]expects nothing in return for his
work
[c]feels that he is under heavy debt
[d]thinks this makes his life easy
28.Those who try to do as little as possible ____.
[a]envy others' good luck
[b]are good
story-tellers
[c]supply false reasons for their lack of
responsibility
[d]think that their opposites owe them a
pleasant life
29. The phrase "in the long run"(Paragraph 3)is
closest in meaning to "____".
[a]in practice
[b]in the end
[c]in effect
[d]in no time
30.It can be inferred from the passage that people who
cheat ____.
[a]will be unjustly treated
[b]will
cheat only themselves eventually
[c]will change their
behavior
[d]will get surprised by their own stories
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based
on the following passage.
The government may control prices when where is a problem
such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of
living. When the government controls prices, there is no
longer a normal relationship between the price of a product
and the quantity consumers will buy. Government controls may
help in an emergency (紧急情况)。However, some economists believe
that controls can have negative effects over a long period of
time.
In cities with rent control, the city government sets the
maximum rent that a landlord (房主)can charge for an apartment.
Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who
are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase;
therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes.
However, the critics (批评者) say that after a long time, rent
control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they
cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other
businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not
invest in new buildings which would also be rent -controlled.
As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who
need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the
end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the
city.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic
decisions such as decisions about rent control, price control
and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if
"other things are equal.
Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They
also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some
economists support a particular decision while others
criticize it. Economists do agree, However, that there are no
simple answers to economic questions.
31.Accirdubg to Paragraph 1, price control _____.
[a]does more harm than good
[b]is good in every
sense
[c]is necessary but harmful in the long term
[d]should be avoided
32.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _____.
[a]thanks to rent control, it would be easier for many to find
apartments
[b]landlords may take back their apartments
if the rent is too low
[c]the tighter the rent control
is, the less new apartments will be built
[d]landlords
will not invest in other businesses after price control is
approved by the government
33.Which of the following do all economists agree
on ?
[a]controls can have negative effects over a long
period of time.
[b]The government must take measures to
control rent increase.
[c]The maximum rent system
protects people who don't have their own houses.
[d]Economic questions are difficult to deal with.
34.The attitude of the author to price control is ____.
[a]subjective
[b]objective
[c]indifferent
[d]supportive
35. The purpose of this passage is to ____.
[A]argue
[b]persuade
[c]analyze
[d]describe

VII. Translation from English into
Chinese (15 points)
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
Many of the plants and animals from which our food
comes can produce themselves quite well without our help.
Fish, for example, live and breed according to their own life
pattern. Human "producers" then come with nets and fishing
poles to take the fish from the water.
In our specialized world, however, it is not always
possible to let our food grow in its own way. A relatively
small number of people are responsible for producing large
quantities of food. In order to perform such a function
effectively, it is necessary for them to raise cattle and grow
crops in a fairly concentrated area.
Fishing, livestock(家畜)breeding, and fruit,
vegetable, and grain growing are among the more commonly known
food-production industries.
