19、ponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month, but it will fall we know not where.That precise information is beyond even the cal

20、culations of scientists and their computers.The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.We are again exposed to one of those unex

21、pected adventures, or misadventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about mans future.What worries Richard Smith, the Skylabs director, is the big pieces that will come through the atmosphere. Two lumps, weighing 2

22、tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, althoug

23、h project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.Thats good to know, but it doesnt remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island.

27、 reactor there and the Skylab were both built by the same company25.

28、 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture (the relative efficiency of agricultural production compared

29、to other areas in the economy) is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indee

30、d, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world, more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 per cent in western Europe and le

31、ss than 4 per cent in the United States.In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it functio

32、ns. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a consideration of its market structure.26. This passage is most probably _.A) an item in a newspaper C) part of a lectureB) an advertisement D) part of the introduction in a book27. What

33、is most important about the industrial performance of agriculture is _.A) the amount of food it produces C) the percentage of population involvedB) the per capita income of farmers D) the production of investment goods28. The word this (Para. 1, Line 4) refers to _.A) the productivity of farmersB) t

34、he provision of food and raw materialsC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole29. The performance of farmers essentially determines _.A) the size of the working population C) the structure of the marketB) the organization of agriculture D) the general development of the economy

35、30. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of _.A) the market structure of American agricultureB) the structure of the American farming populationC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agricultureQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the follow

36、ing passage:Editor:While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe tests dont tell the whole story.As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I

37、have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a students final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the years work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a students abilit

38、y.The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a students future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future

39、officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the students word for it? Any institution that liberates students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the graduates of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention bei

40、ng rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and

41、desire the satisfaction of being the best.31. Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with?A) Tests are not effective in measuring the students abilities.B) Tests are an effective measure of the students abilities.C) Tests can only measure some of the students abilities

42、.D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students abilities.32. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph _ .A) opposed judging students by the results of examsB) must have proposed other ways of testing studentsC) regarded exams as a way of punishing studentsD) seemed to be worried about th

43、e poor marks of their students33. According to the letter, a students final mark _ .A) is often encouragingB) often gives a fair picture of the years workC) often proves unreliableD) often tells whether he likes the subject or not34. If a student graduated from a university which does not require ex

44、ams he would _.A) have to continue his studies C) be incompetentB) have a feeling of failure D) not be admitted by foreign institutions35. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probably afraid of_ .A) competing with other students C) working too hardB) being graded

45、unfairly D) being dismissed from schoolQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Time was - and not so many years ago, either - when the average citizen took a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be - and a few still are - forbidding (令人生畏的) structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customers account, and nothing less than
