阅读理解     In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than
in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some
people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that
people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life
itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die.
Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to
extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer.1. The best title for this passage is _____. A. The Right to Live

阅读理解     If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame,
because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion. They are
always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a
few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only
a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that
she has nothing to wear.
    Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast
sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to
throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing the dresses they have. Skirts are
lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.
    No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with primary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They"re
only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with
any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn"t sometime
in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way
through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
    When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.
Do the constantly changing fashions of women"s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of instability (不稳定) ? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanged
styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.1. Designers and big stores always make money     _  .A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C. by constantly changing the fashions in women"s clothing
D. because they always improve quality of women"s clothing2. The writer would be less critical (批评) if fashion designers placed more stress on the    __of clothing.A. cost
B. appearance
C. comfort
D. suitability3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B. The constant changes in women"s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.4. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious", the writer means that ________.  A. women"s changeableness in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B. women are better able to put up with discomfort
C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion

阅读理解     Have you ever heard the old saying, "Never judge a book by its cover."? This is a good rule to
follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in
certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a
pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don"t make the mistake
of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.
    Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good
front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favorable
impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
    In a word, you can"t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person"s intelligence
is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you
see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don"t judge a book by its cover.1. The passage suggests that ______.    A. a good writer may not be a good speaker
B. a good writer is always a good speaker
C. a speechless person always writes well
D. a good writer will find himself speechless 3. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class ________.            A. is an intelligent student

阅读理解     Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always controlled the situations to his advantage. Probably this might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species on the earth. As we climbed the steps of development, we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking -- we forgot that we have stopped thinking
ahead of time.
     If you are hungry, what do you do? Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your
stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about
your dream lover, favorite star and many such things. So it silently began to care about your needs and
never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the
reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can"t I think?" "Why am I always given
the difficult problems?" Well, this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
     Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to
develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in
this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never
thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your
mind will open up like never before.1. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show humans are the most developed.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To indicate people have different needs to satisfy.
D. To explain why people need to read.2. What does the author mean by saying "When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full
stop."A. When mind keeps growing, creativity fully stops.
B. When freedom is lost, creativity gets a full stop.
C. When mind stops growing, creativity fully stops.
D. When growing is lost, creativity gets a flail stop.3. The paragraph following the passage is probably about ______.A. how the pre-historic man feeds his mind
B. what other advantages reading brings
C. how to develop creativity
D. how to satisfy your mind by watching TV4. The author tends to tell us ______.A. reading can satisfy your all needs
B. reading can result from creativity
C. reading can feed your mind
D. reading can realize your dreams

Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country"s resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services wanted by the community. Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution (分布) of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were a balanced spread age distribution. If the population naturally grows rapidly, the number of births greatly exceeds (超出) the number of deaths then as a total population increases proportion of the workforce declines. Sometimes a population is described as aging which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce there are insufficient numbers of young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. In that situation the population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes, finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax revenue (税收) is relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.
1. In the passage "labor force" is defined as ___________.
A. people who are available to work and earn income B. self-employed people only C. people who are looking for an employment D. employers who create job opportunities
2. The conclusion which can be drawn from the second paragraph is that___________.
A. a natural growth of population leads to a balanced workforce B. a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce C. the larger the population, the higher the proportion of the workforce D. the workforce will be lower, if the population has a balanced age distribution
3. When a population is said to be aging, ___________.
A. there are more people retiring than those entering the workforce B. the birth rate must be growing C. there should be an oversupply of workforce D. There are more people entering the workforce than those retiring
