Ⅱ.认真阅读下面两篇短文，每篇短文后有五个问题，根据短文的内容从四 个选项中选出一个
最佳答案。(每小题1分，共10分)
Passage 1
No surprisingly, Singapore is striving to become the world's first smoking-free city. In this
socially engineered mini-state, where smoking has been under assault for two decades, cigarettes
are strictly banned in nearly every public place, selling machines are out-lawed, and tabacco
companies are not allowed to sponsor public events. To tame the 16% of the adult population that
still smokes, the government may even end the practice in bars.
As the economies of other Asian nations thrive, citizens are paying more attention to their
health and pushing for tougher smoking restrictions. Even China, the world’s largest producer and
consumer of tobacco, now restricts smoking in public places and bans advertising.
Hong Kong has matched Singapore’s low smoking rate by relying primarily on market forces:
a 300% tax in 1983 and an additional 100% tax in 1991.
In Japan politeness prevails:61% of adult males smoke, and little has been done beyond
recommending the establishment of non-smoking areas in workplaces. This has led to a small
outcropping of carefully marked places where smokers can enjoy themselves.
31. The word “smoke-free” means “( )”
A. smoking is allowed B. smoking is not allowed
C. smoke without any payment D. smoke at any time

32. About how many are smokers among the adult population of Singapore?( )
A. one-half B. one- fourth
C. one-fifth D. one-sixth
33. In Asia which country consumes the largest amount of cigarettes?( )
A. Japan B. Singapore
C. Hong Kong D. China
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a means to discourage smoking in
3

Singapore?( )
A. recommending the marking of no-smoking areas
B. making selling machines illegal
C. forbidding tobacco companies to do advertisement
D. raising tobacco companies to do advertisement
35. What can be inferred about smoking in Asia from the passage?( )
A. More and more adults are becoming smokers.
B. There are now many smoke-free cities in Asia.
C. Health officials are satisfied with government's efforts.
D. Governments are taking actions to restrict smoking.
Passage 2
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No
school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There
are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given
over general language development and writing ability. The problem ability, the problems, how to
encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back
with the complexities of spelling?
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely
to “play safe”.We will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid
adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay
attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal
experience:“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is
illegible.”It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was
also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some
beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to
the errors. But if his priorities had centred on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment
with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
36. Teachers are different in their opinions about ( )
A. the difficulties in teaching spelling
B. the role of spelling in general language development
C. the complexities of the basic writing skills
D. the necessity of teaching spelling
37. The expression “play safe” probably means ( )
A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say
C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of
38. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ( )
A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B. students will have more confidence in writing
C. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
D. students will learn to be independent of teachers
39. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgement on that sensitive piece of writing is
