Yellow fever is a disease of warm lands that is found mainly along the shore of the Atlantic
Ocean. It was first

11


in the Americas, but may well have come from Africa and reached the
New World with or soon after Columbus. Until about fifty years ago, yellow fever was still one of
the
most

12


diseases
in
the
United
States,

. In a daring group of experiments using human beings, Major Reed proved the truth of an
idea advanced in 1881 by a Cuban doctor, that the city type of mosquito

the disease.




The successful result of these experiments gave

to another and still more important
idea: kill off the city type of mosquitoes and there will be no more yellow fever.

mosquitoes are one of the easiest types to destroy. They are

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。





Passage One




Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.




Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I
also explain that there's a big difference between
“

being a writer
”

and writing. In most cases
these
individuals
are
dreaming
of
wealth
and
fame,
not
the
long
hours
alone
at
a
typewriter.
“

You

ve got to want to write,
”

I say to them,
“

not want to be a writer
”

.




The
reality
is
that
writing
is
a
lonely,
private
and
poor
—

paying
affair.
For
every
writer
kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20
—

year
career
in
the
U.S.
Coast
Guard
to
become
a
freelance
writer
(
自由撰稿者

),
I
had
no
prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York apartment
building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used
manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.




After a year or so, however, I still hadn

t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It
was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had
dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, What if? I
would keep putting my dream to the test
——
even though it meant living with uncertainty and
fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.




21. The passage is meant to .






A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience





B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer




C. show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame




D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career
【】



22. What can be concluded from the passage?




A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.




B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.




C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.




D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.
【】



23. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?




A. He wasn't able to produce a single book.




B. He hadn't seen a change for the better.




C. He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year.




D. He found his dream would never come true.
【】



24.
“

... people who die wondering, What if?
”

(Line 3, para.3) refers to
“

those
”



A. who think too much of the dark side of life




B. who regret giving up their career halfway




C. who think a lot without making a decision




D. who are full of imagination even upon death
【】



25.
“
Shadowland
”

in the last sentence refers to .




A. the wonderland one often dreams about




B. the bright future that one is looking forward to




C. the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached

.


















































D. a world that exists only in one's imagination
【】





Passage Two




Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.




Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of
building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in
high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case
is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past
our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked
the
obvious
provisions,
such
as
central
heating,
constant
hot
water
supply,
electrically
operated
lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (
然而
), as
easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground
floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is
likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (
对
,
对抗
) individual houses will continue to rage on
for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings
on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their
case primarily on the assumption (
设想
)that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and
on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full
services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for
the suburban resident.




26. We can infer from the passage that .






A. English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats






B. people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats






C. people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats






D. modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
【】





27. What is said about the blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?






A. They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.






B. They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.






C. They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.






D. They provided playground for children on the top of the buildings.
【】





28. The word
“

rage
”

(Line 10) means
“”
