geography. The former focuses on the natural

Text I
No one knows exactly
how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the
world,
but estimates suggest the figure is
over 450 million. The number of disabled people
in India alone is probably more than double
the total population of Canada.
In the
United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some
disability. Disability
is not just something
that happens to other people. As we get older,
many of us will
become less mobile ( 可动的) ,
hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any
time of life. Some people are
born with
disabilities. Many others become disabled as they
get older. There are many
progressive
disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the
worse they become. Some
people are disabled in
accidents. Many others may have a period of
disability in the
form of a mental illness.
All are affected by people ' s attitude towards
them.
Disabled people face many physical
barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work
or visit
friends, imagine how you would
manage if you could not get up steps, or on to
buses and trains. How would you cope if you
could not see where you were going or
could
not hear the traffic? But there are other
barriers: prejudice can be even harder
to
break down and ignorance inevitably represents by
far the greatest barrier of all.
It is
almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully
appreciate what the severely
disabled go
through, so it is important to draw attention to
these barriers and show
that it is the
individual person and their ability, not their
disability, which
counts.
46. The first
paragraph points out that _________.
{ A J
it is possible to get an exact figure of the world
' s disabled people
[ B ] there are many
disabled people in the world
[ C ] the
number of disabled people in India is the greatest
[ D ] India has not much more disabled
people than Canada
47. The key word in
Paragraph 4 is _________.
[ A ] barriers [ B
] ignorance
[C] disability [D] prejudice
48. The last word of the passage
[A]
[C]
49. Which of the following
statements is NOT true according to the passage?
[A] There are about 10 percent disabled
persons in the UK.
[ B ] The whole society
should pay due attention to the barriers faced by
the
disabled people.
[ C ] Even the
able-bodied may lose some of their body functions
when they get
older.
[D] There
still exists prejudice against the disabled which
results mainly from
ignorance.
50. It
can be concluded from the passage that _____ __.
[A] we should try our best to prevent
disablement
[ B] we must take a proper
attitude towards the disabled
[C] the able-
bodied people will never fully understand the
disabled
[D] both physical and mental
barriers are hard to break down --

A small piece of fish each day may keep the
heart doctor away. That' s the finding
of an
extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from
heart disease were more than
50 percent lower
among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt
water fish per
day than those who never ate
fish.
The Dutch research is one of three
human studies that give strong scientific
backing to the longheld belief that eating
fish can provide health benefits,
particularly
to the heart.
Heart disease is the nuinber-
one killer in the United States, with more than
550,000 deaths oc- curring from heart attacks
each year. But researchers previously
have
noticed that the incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease
is lower in cultures that
consume more fish
than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease
deaths, for example,
among the Eskimos of
Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a
day, and among
the Japanese, whose daily fish
consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study
followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom
ate no fish.
At the start of the study,
the average fish consumption was about two-thirds
of
an ounce each day with more men eating lean
(瘦的) fish than fatty fish.
During the next
two decades, 78 of the men died from heart
disease. The fewest
deaths were among the
group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far
lower than
those of the Japanese or Eskimos.
This relationship was true regardless of other
factors such as age, high blood pressure, or
blood cholesterol ( 胆固醇) levels.
51. Which of
the following is NOT true according to the
passage?
[A] The Dutch research has proved
that eating fish can help to prevent heart
disease.
[ B] Heart doctors won't call
your house so long as you keep eating fish each
day.
[C] Among all the diseases heart
disease is the most dangerous in America.
[D] There is a low incidence of heart disease in
such countries as Japan and
Greenland.
52. The phrase relationship(in Line 3, Para. 5)
refers to the connection
between
_________ and the incidence of heart disease.
[A] the amount offish eaten [B] regular fish-
eating
[ C ] the kind of fish eaten [ D ]
people of different regions
53. The passage
is mainly about _________.
[ A ] the
high incidence of heart disease in some countries
[ B ] the effect of fish eating on people '
s health
[ C] the changes in people' s diet
[D] the daily fish consumption of people in
different cultures
54. Why is heart disease
the most dangerous killer in the United States?
[A] Because American people drink too much
spirits.
[B] Because there are a great
number of fat people there.
[ C ] The author
does n ' t give a definite answer.
[D]
Because American people eat too much fatty fish.
55. How many lives could probably be saved
each year in the United States by eating
fifth
according to the Dutch study?
[A] 550,000.
[B] 275,000.
LC] 110,000. [D] 852.
Text 3
Being assertive ( 过分自信) is being able
to communicate with other people
clearly. If
you felt that you had expressed what was important
to you and allowed
the oilier person to
respond in their own way then, regardless of the
final outcome,
you behaved assertively. It is
important to remember that being assertive refers
to
a way of coping with confrontations ( 对抗)。
It does not mean getting your own way
every
time or winning some battle of wits against
another person. In practice
assertive
behaviour is usually most likely to produce a
result which is generally
acceptable to
all concerned, without anyone feeling that they
have been unfairly
treated.
Assertiveness is often wrongly confused with
aggression (侵犯行为). An
aggressive confrontation
is when one or both parties attempt to put forward
their
feelings and beliefs at the expense of
others. In an assertive confrontation, however,
each party stands up for their personal
rights, but each shows respect and
understanding for the other's viewpoint.
The reason why assertiveness may not come
naturally is that we often tend to
believe
that we must talk around a subject rather than be
direct, or that we must
offer excuses or
justifications forour actions.
In fact we
all have a right to use assertive behaviour in a
variety of situations.
We are often schooled
early in life to believe that sometimes our own
need to express
ourselves must take secondary
place. For example, in dealing with those in
privileged
positions such as specialists, we
often feel that speaking assertively is, in some
way,
feel guilty about exercising them.
56. According to the passage, an assertive
person ________.
[ A ] makes other people
feel unfairly treated
[ B ] puts forward his
ideas at the expense of others
[C] does not
show respect to other people
[ D ] speaks
out what he wants to say forcefully
57.
Which of the following is NOT the reason that many
people prefer not to be
assertive?
[A] They would rather be aggressive than be
assertive.
[B] It's often better to give
people hints than to be straightforward.
[C]
Their needs to express themselves take secondary
place before important
persons.
[ D]
They tend to give excuses and justifications for
their actions.
58. The last word of the
passage
[A] rules [B] actions
[c]
personal rights [D] privileged positions
59.
According to the passage, one should not only
express himself clearly and
directly, but also
[ A ] make other people accept his ideas
[ B ] be careful with his manner
[ C]
allow others to speak in their own way
[D]watch other people's response
60. In this
passage, the author intends to encourage people to
_____.
[ A ] fight for their personal rights
[ B] be aggressive when they talk to others
[ C J assert themselves regardless of
whether others suffer or not
[ D ] be
assertive at any time
Part B
Directions:
Read the following paragraphs in
which 5 people talk about the way American
consumers borrow.
For questions 61 to
65, match name of each speaker to one of the
statements (A
to C) given your answers on
your ANSWER SHEET.
Mark Lilla Young
consumers often have not established their credit
ratings. Many
do not have steady in-comes.
They might have difficulty borrowing money from an
agency
in business to make loans. Parents or
relatives are usually their best source of loans.
Of course, the parents or relatives would have
to have money available and be willing
to lend
it. You might even get an interest-free loan.
However,a parent or relative
who lends should
receive interest the same as any other lender.
Chris Roddy
For most consumers the
cheapest place to borrow is at a commercial bank.
Banks
are a good
source of installment
loans which may run for 12 months or up to 36.
Most banks
also make singlepayment loans to
consumers for short periods@30, 60, or 90 days. A
typical interest rate is 3 cents per $$100 per
day. Suppose that you used $$100 of your
credit
and repaid it in 30 days. The cost would be 90
cents.
Karen Barber
Another possible
source of loans is a life insurance policy. Anyone
who owns this
type of insurance may borrow up
to the amount of its cash value. The amount the
insurance company will pay in case of death is
reduced by the amount of the loan.
For
example, suppose that someone with $$10,000 of
insurance borrows $$2,000 and dies
leaving the loan unpaid. The insurance
company would pay only $$8,000 to the person
entitled to receive the money.
Louise
Richard
Borrowing from pawnbrokers is both
easy and expensive. In exchange for a loan
the
borrower leaves some item of value such as
jewelry, a camera, a musical instrument,
or
clothing. Usually the amount of money received is
far less than the actual value
of the item
left. When a borrower repays the loan plus
interest, the pawnbroker returns
the item. If
the loan is not paid within a year, the pawnbroker
gets his or her money
by selling the item.
Jodie Morse
When money is urgently
needed, people may agree to pay any price for a
loan. Too
late, they may find themselves in
the clutches of loan sharks. A loan shark is an
unlicensed lender because their rates are
higher than the law allows, sometimes 1,000
percent or more a year. Borrowers are hardly
ever able to repay their loans. It is
all they
can do to pay the interest. Borrowers who fail to
pay the interest on time
have been threatened
with injury.
Now match each of the persons
to the appropriate statement.
Note: there
are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Mark Lilla [A] A person can borrow as much as
his life insurance's cash value.
62. Chris
Roddy [B] The lender gets huge profits.
63.
Karen Barber [C] The borrowers may not take as
long as they want to repay
their loans.
64. Louise Richard [ D] If the loan
is not paid in a year, the item belongs to
the
lender.
65. Jodie Morse [E] Borrowing from
their parents or relatives is the easiest or
the
best loan source for the young
consumers.
[ F ] The consumers without good
credit can borrow money from their parents or
relatives.
[G] The interest rate of the
commercial bank is the lowest. For example, the
cost
would be 360 cents if you borrowed $$200
and repaid it in 60 days.
