3.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America,most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common,almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world.In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because,except for a few Western nations。passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad,you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad,you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card,buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U. S. document. it is valuable as identification in any emergency cases,such as floods,fires,or war.Don't confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens. a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years,many countries were dropping their visa requirements,but that trend has reversed. Argentina,Brazil,and Venezuela now require visas from U. S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston,New York,or Chicago. In smaller cities,applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport,you must submit the application in person. along with a birth certificate and two pictures.The main purpose of this passage is to______.A. discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports

    Passage One

    Long time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.

    Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.

    Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.

    We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.

    There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.

    36. The people in ancient times couldn't travel too far away places because______.

    A. they found it no use doing so

    B. they liked staying at home

    C. there was no modern transportation

    D. they were forbidden to go to other countries


    正确答案:C

  • 第3题:

    根据下面资料,回答
    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city ______________.

    A.while living on the faraway edge of the city
    B.and live there
    C.but live in another city
    D.but live far away out of the city

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据第三段第四、五两句话“The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live in the suburbs of the city.far away from the industrial area and the city centre”可知A项正确。

    Traffic Jams一No End in Sight

    1 Traffic congestion(拥堵)affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of
    cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U. S.,commuters(通勤人员)spend an
    average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams,according to the Texas Transportation Institu-
    te.While alternative ways of getting around are available,most people still choose their cars because they are
    looking for convenience,comfort and privacy.
    2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing,whereby cities
    charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day.In theory,if the toll is high enough,some
    drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train.And in practice it seems to work:Singapore,London and
    Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.
    3 Another way to reduce rush-hour traffic is for employers to implement flexitime,which lets employees
    travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy
    times can do their part by sharing cars.Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute(work from
    home)so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.
    4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads,
    especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets.But such techniques do not really
    keep cars off the road;they only accommodate more of them.
    5 Other,more forward-thinking,planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the
    roads every day,and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so
    much better both for people and the environment.For this reason,the American government has decided to
    spend some$7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with
    more efficient technologies.But environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the$50
    billion being spent on roads and bridges.

    If charged high enough,some drivers may_________to enter certain parts of town.
    A:go by bus
    B:encourage more private cars
    C:drive around
    D:spend more money
    E:reduce traffic jams
    F:travel regularly

    答案:A

    The column graph shows us the spectator numbers for three different types of football, namely, Aerial Ping Pong, Rugby and Soccer in the city of Plonkers for the years 1986, 1990, and 1994.
    Aerial Ping Pong was popular in all the three years. As we can see, there are 300 thousand spectators in1986, 350 thousand in 1990 and nearly 325 thousand in 1994. Spectator numbers were high for Rugby in l986, at 250 thousand, but numbers fell to 200 thousand in 1990, and things go worse to less than 150 thousand in 1994. In contrast, spectator numbers for Soccer were less than 50 thousand in 1986, but the numbers were doubled in 1990 at100 thousand, and in l994 they had increased to 150 thousand, which was more than the number for Rugby.

  • 第11题:

    问答题
    [A] Difficulty of changing one's immigration status.  [B] Extent of error in card completion.  [C] Classification of border-crossers.  [D] Uncertainty in categorization.  [E] Computer-assisted measurement of illegal immigration.  [F] Preventing illegal immigration.  [G] Determining net flow of population.  Whenever a person enters or leaves the island nation of Freedonia, he or she must fill out an arrival or departure card. The data collected from the cards are entered into a computer database, known as the Inflow/Outflow Record (IOR). The Immigration Bureau uses the IOR to monitor changes in the population of Freedonia, which was estimated in 1994 to be 14.4 million people.  1. ___________________________  The cards do more than just help count the number of people coming and going. The people who cross Freedonia's borders are put into one of several categories depending on how they fill out their card. The first category, labelled "Category M" by the Immigration Bureau, is made up of people, usually tourists and business travellers from abroad, whose stay in Freedonia is less than 6 months. In "Category N" are citizens and residents of Freedonia who go abroad for a similar period of time. "Category P" includes foreigners who stay in Freedonia for a period longer than 6 months, while Freedonians who leave the country for more than 6 months are put in "Category Q". Then there are the people who migrate permanently to Freedonia, known as "Category R", and those who permanently emigrate from the island state, who are placed in "Category S". Emigrants, it should be noted, are sometimes former immigrants to Freedonia.   2. ___________________________  One problem with maintaining the IOR is that the departure and arrival cards ask for people's intentions, and intentions do not always become reality. Freedonia's population includes many people who originally entered the country on a temporary visa but who later applied for and were given permanent status; in this way, someone who was Category M becomes Category R. This is not too great a problem as changes in migration status inside the country can easily be tracked and entered into the IOR. It becomes difficult to make accurate categorizations, though, when Freedonians move overseas with plans to return--whether in less than 6 months or after a longer period—but do not, in fact, come back. Similarly, Freedonians who claim to be emigrating to other countries may change their minds and return to Freedonia.  3. ___________________________  People may also make mistakes when filling out the cards. In 1994, a study was made of 21,730 arrival and departure cards filled out by people leaving from Freedonia's major airports and seaports. The study showed that one in five cards had errors. A total of 4,008 passengers who were citizens of Freedonia mistakenly said that they were temporary entrants to Freedonia. Of these,18 percent were, in fact, emigrating or Category Q leavers. The study's most important finding was the lack of certainty expressed by departing Freedonians about when they planned to return to Freedonia. The arrival and departure cards were redesigned by the Immigration Bureau after the 1994 study, but while the new cards have been in use for over a decade, no new research has been done.  4. ___________________________  The unrecorded movements of people from one category to another make it hard to measure the flow of population, but it should be said that Freedonia is the only nation with high overall immigration that keeps reliable records of departures. In this way, the Immigration Bureau is able to keep track of departing native Freedonians as well as former settlers. By monitoring both immigration and emigration, the Bureau is able to maintain a record of net migration, the total gain or loss of people over a period of time. In other countries with high level of immigration, the issue of net migration has often been neglected.  5. ___________________________  One final benefit of the IOR is the help it gives in determining the level of illegal immigration to Freedonia. People who enter Freedonia saying they will stay in the country for under six months will appear automatically in the database as "Category T" if they have not left the country after the end of that period. Unlike countries such as the United States that have little idea of the true extent of illegal immigration entering their borders, Freedonia's Immigration Bureau has shown it is able to keep a fairly accurate count.

    正确答案:
    1. C 本段层次比较分明,主题句为第二句。选项[C]中border-crossers是对The people who cross Fredonia’s borders的同义转述,Classification对应句中的categories。
    2. D 本段主题句是第一句。主要讲了IOR管理方法存在的问题。句中“One problem'’,“do not always…”及下文中的Category M becomes Category R等词,都说明了归类的不确定性这一问题,选项[D]Uncertainty in categorization概括了这一点。
    3. B 本段主题句为第一句。选项[B]中的error对应该段第一句的mistakes,“card completion’’实际为“filling out the cards”的同义转述,应选[B]。
    4. G 本段关键信息词为“reliable records of departures”及“net migration”,对照各选项,只有[G]与该段内容相关。
    5. E 本段主要讲了IOR的优点,即可以“determining the level of illegal immigration”,第一句是主题句。选项[E]中“measurement of illegal immigration”与此对应,该段后文提到“database”,对照第一段可知是指“a computer database”,选项中的Computer-assisted正对应了这一点。

    Practice 4  You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  Write about the following topic:  In the past, people used to travel to see the differences from their home country. However, the sceneries in places around the world seem similar nowadays. What are the causes of these similarities? Do you think that the advantages of this similarity outweigh the disadvantages?  You should write at least 250 words.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    People who travel to different places aim to expand their horizons by witnessing distinct views in every unique culture and nation. However, there is a strange trend that many places of interest are looking similar.
    Why do the scenic spots tend to be built into the same look? An arch-criminal is probably globalization, which makes the distance between nations shrink. Those developing countries are likely to imitate those who greatly succeed in developing tourism, which lead to flooding similarities. Secondly, it is a common phenomenon that people have a sense of security when they travel to a strange place, especially when they are in trouble or danger. Finding somewhere like their hometown comforts their moods and getting some spiritual consolation.
    The question, however, is whether this situation is positive or negative for both tourists and residents. To begin with the positive one, through the comparison between different countries, the passion for establishing their national consciousnesses can be ignited. The more one sees in another world, the more he will think about his own living situations natively. From the other side, the same image all around the world leads to the extinction of diversified cultures, which reflect the  fulfilled with vivid colorful art and long-lasting historical stories. If the whole world looks uniformly the same, tourism disappears as well as all the regional conventions and treasures.
    To conclude based on my personal experience of traveling domestically and abroad, I suggest that people had better see more and feel more in their very a limited lifetime. Even better, one should absorb more with the very soul that the native is the best of all.

    Passage Two

    Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

    ①The threat of a global outbreak (疾病大爆发) of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus (病毒) has spread since 1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide signs of possible outbreaks. In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed; there should be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should deal with the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared, it will be a threat to every other country.

    ②The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly, an outbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50 million, the number would be much higher. Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great financial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has cost Southeast Asia more than $10 billion and depressed its GDP(gross domestic product) by 1.5 percent. If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, $800 billion would be lost.

    ③Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the virus remains mainly a disease of animals. However, the more animals that die of the disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus and change into a virus with new characteristics. If the international community works together efficiently, man can surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.

    26. Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should ________.

    A. establish new markets

    B. work together effectively

    C. stop birds from flying to other countries

    D. raise fewer chickens and ducks

Today, one out of every seven people in the world use English in some way.
