Pearl Carson was shaken awake at 3: 30 am by a forceful pull. King, the family dog, was
trying to pull her out of bed. Then she smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parents’
room. Pearl’s screams awaked her mother, Fern, and father Howard, who had recently been in

hospital for lung disease. Helping Howard to a first—floor window, Fern told him to climb out,
then ran to her daughter.
Still inside, King appeared at Pearl’s window, making squeaking sound. When running
toward Pearl’s bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn’t yet escaped. She made her way back
through the smoke and flames, following King’s sound to where Howard lay semiconscious on the
floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe.
As day dawned, the Carlsons saw that King’s paws were badly burned, and his entire body
was burned, too. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burned his throat, making it impossible
for him to bark normally. Only after the seven—year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of
wood in his mouth and realized that King, who slept outside, had bittern through a wood door to
warn his family.

American former Vice- President Gore often tells a true story about a frog that was put into a
pot of water: The water was slowly heated until it boiled. But even though it was able to do so, the
frog did not jump out of the water.
According to the vice- president, many people are like that frog. They close their eyes to the
changes in the environment. Although we are poisoning ourselves, many people, like the frog, are
doing nothing about it.
You and I can choose to be different. We can choose to hop out of that pot. We can take a
stand. We can make choices that will help protect the environment.
C. The father. D. The mother.

Did you know that one quart of oil can actually pollute two million gallons of wateryou're
your family put its used motor oil in a hazardous（危险品）waste dump, you can protect two
million gallons of water. Better yet, your family can recycle your motor oil so that it could be used
again.
If you turn off the lights in your house when they are not needed, you can help prevent acid
rain. As you probably know, acid rain is caused by air pollution. A light bulb（灯泡）actually gives
off gases that cause acid rain
There are other ways that you can help decrease air pollution. You can ride a bike or walk
when you are going a short distance. Use a car only for longer trips.
Did you know that a typical family of four throws out 200 large rubbish cans of waste each
year? This trash has to go somewhere. But we are running out of room for it.
Much of the rubbish that is going to landfills—areas set aside for waste—can be recycled.
Bottles, paper, cans, and many metals are recyclable, If you and your family recycle these
materials, you can cut your trash in half.
So you see, one person can make a difference. We do not have to act like frogs , waiting to be
boiled.

For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of
examination in addition to objective tests. They use“essay”tests, which require students to write
long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: “Mention several ways in which
Benjamin Franklin has influenced the thinking of people in his own count and in other parts of the
world. ”
One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a
high score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more
about the student’S ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how
deeply he has thought about the subject. Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too.
Some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the
subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in
the essay form.
Besides, in an essay test the student’s score may depend upon the examiner’s feelings at the
time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score
than he should. Another exanliner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark.
Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and
quicker to score.
Whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective
questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student’s
knowledge can usually be obtained.
69. What may have been discussed in the paragraphs before this?
A. The essay test.

B. How teachers test their students.
D. The objective test. C. How students write their essays.
70. The essay test is preferred because .
A. it shows more about the student’s understanding of the subject
B. it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas
C. it gives each student a fairer chance
D. its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings
71. The underlined word“this”in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact .
A. students may receive a lower score in an essay test

B. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher mark
C. different examiners may give the same essay different scores
D. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance
72. According to the passage, which of the following about the objective test is NOT TRUE?
A. It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.
B. It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
C. It shows the student’s ability to think about difficult problems.
D. It is easy and quick to score.
D
Americans who remember“the good old days’’are not alone in complaining about the
educational system in this country. Immigrants（移民）complain, too. Lately a German friend was
filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a
college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send
their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at
Japanese levels generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.
But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of
innovation（创新）?
When 1 was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities. from
Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that
Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe,
my son had studied creative he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he
traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed
Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment
freely with ideas；without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.
Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only
country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative.
Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I
think I have found the answer to my question.
73. According to the writer of the text, _______.
A. both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American education

B. American education is worse than education in many other countries
C. Japanese schools in America demand that their teachers teach mathematics at Japanese levels
D. his German friend was displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too hard
74. We can infer from the text_______.
A. if children cannot experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up independent and creative
B. the present American educational system is not asgood as it used to be
C. Private schools run by Japanese businessmen are much better than American public schools
D. Amerieans are more innovative than other people in the world
75. In the last paragraph the author says,”I have found the answer to my question.”What is the
question?
A. Is Japanese education better than American education?
B. Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese- staffed schools?
C. Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge'?
D. Is American education really worse than education in other countries'?
76. What would be the best title for this text?
A. American education and education in foreign countries
B. Improvement needed for American education
C. Freedom to think——characteristic of American education
D. Education and innovation in America

“There is no arguing about taste”-- runs the Latin proverb. But taste did not just happen. Cultural,
historical, biological and environmental events have interacted to cause frogs, for example, to be
viewed as delicious in southern China but to be regarded with revulsion（厌恶）in northern China.
Even though much remains unknown, tastes cannot be dismissed as inarguable or illogical；an
attempt will be made here to discover why, as Lucretius put it, “What is food to one man may be
fierce poison to others. ”
Among the approximately thirty million tribal（部落的） people of India, a total of 250
animal species are avoided by one group or another. Most of these people will not eat meal from a
tiger or any of various snakes. Although they say they feel a relationship with these animals, it is
obvious that both are highly dangerous and that hunting them systematically would be foolish.

Monkeys are avoided, probably because they look like human beings in appearance；in these
tribes, man-eating is viewed as extremely cruel. A reluctance（勉强）to eat some female animals
has been attributed to respect for the mother’s role, but it could also be due to a policy of allowing
the females to reproduce and provide more young for people. Many tribes avoid eating any animal
that has died of unknown causes —— an intelligent attitude in view of the possibility that the
animal might have died from a disease that could spread to humans. Animals that consume
garbage are similarly avoided, an adaptive step that prevents contact with parasites（寄生虫）, and
that might explain why members of one tribe eat any of twenty—one different species of rats, but
not the house rat.
77. “There is no arguing about taste”, which means_______ .
A. people don’t like to talk about food B. one’s taste in food is hard to explain
C. there is no quarrelling about to eat D. no arguments about taste have been heard of before
78. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that .
A. the author is against eating frogs
C. some types of frogs are poisonous


B. taste is illogical and inarguable
D. taste is influenced by many factors
79. The tribal people in India don’t eat snakes because .
A. they are very dangerous
C. they may spread disease








B. they are respected by Indians
D. they help kill rats
80. The passage is probably written for the purpose of .
A. introducing the eating habit of Indian tribal people
B. distinguishing different types of taste
C. accounting for people’s different choices of taste
D. explaining the relationship between taste and tribes
