24、e-quarter of todays student population are suffering from symptoms of depression. Of that group, almost half will experience depression intense enough to call for _43_ help. But many reject that idea, because they dont want people to think there is something wrong with them. There are three reasons

25、why todays college students are suffering more than in earlier _44_. First is a weaker family support structure. Today, with high divorce rates and many parents _45_ their own psychological difficulties, the traditional family is not always available for help. Another problem is _46_ pressure. In th

26、e past ten years education costs have risen about 66 percent at public colleges and 90 percent at private schools. _47_, most students must work part-time. A final cause of students depression is the large _48_ of majors available. Because of the difficulty of _49_ a major, college can prove a time

27、of great indecision. Many students _50_ majors. As a result, it is becoming common for them to take five or six years to get a degree. It can be disappointing to students to be faced with the _51_ costs. III. Reading Comprehension 34%Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passages ther

28、e are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Using c

In Austria, adults born in autumn (October-Decem

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to

37、the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)For more than ten years John Grimshaw has been pioneering a gentle revolution. He aims to get us going by bike on Britains network of disused railways. He works as an engineer for Sustrans, a Bristol-based charity.He believes that there is

38、no benefit or logic behind the building of bigger and faster roads that only encourage people to use cars more extravagantly(过分地). Britains roads being built ignore all but the motorists while miles of railway tracks no longer used by trains lie wasted.His organization started work in 1994 with a mo

39、dest five mile track from Bristol to Bath, and cyclists and walkers now make a million journeys a year on the path. Sustrans has since completed a further 150 miles throughout Britain with the help of volunteer workers.Building such paths is not easy or cheap. Sustrans buys or leases(租借) land from B

40、ritish Rail and the paths can cost from 6,000 pounds up to 8, 0000 pounds per kilometer to build. Money comes from central and local government, charity bodies and gifts from individuals. To encourage more walkers and cyclists along its paths, Sustrans plans to construct a work of art on every mile

41、of path it builds. Most of their tracks quickly transport people from the city to the countryside. The latest route runs from the heart of Glasgow to Loch Lomond. Relics (遗迹)of the great railway age litter the routesstation houses, signals boxes and even steam trains.Some might consider John Grimsha

42、w a traveler from the past, out of touch with the modern world, but for many he is preparing the way for an alternative for a car-mad world. 67.The aim of Sustrans is to _.a. encourage people to use cars more efficientlyb. use old railway lines for leisure purposesc. provide a cycling network across

( C )As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits,

52、 smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, wh

53、o drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot heal

54、thier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “ not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the bodys special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to ap

55、ply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and theymake a point of monitoring their bodys condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsib

56、ility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap may be well, in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. Wellness may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that p

57、eople can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which peopl

58、e face the challenges of daily life.73.Today medical care is placing more stress on_. a. keeping people in a healthy physical condition b. monitoring patients body functionsc. removing peoples bad living habits d. ensuring peoples psychological well-being74.In the first paragraph, people are reminde

59、d that_. a. good health is more than not being ill b. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulc. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit d. prevention is more difficult than cure75.Traditionally, a person is considered well if he _. a. does not have any unhealthy living habits b.

60、 does not have any physical handicapsc. is able to handle his daily routines d. is free from any kind of disease76.According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy? a. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.b. People who are

61、not presently experiencing any symptoms of diseasec. People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.d. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.( D)In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an

62、 apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they ca

63、nnot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics

64、, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying

65、 jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an incre

66、ase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Fur

67、thermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on

68、some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.77. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent ma

69、y .a. cause a shortage of apartmentsb. worry those who rent apartments as homesc. increase the profits of landlordsd. encourage landlords to invest in building apartment78. According to the critics, rent control .a. will always benefit those who rent apartmentsb. is unnecessaryc. will bring negative

70、 effects in the long rund. is necessary under all circumstances79. The problem of unemployment will arise . a. if the minimum wage is set too highb. if the minimum wage is set too lowc. if the workers are unskilledd. if the maximum wage is set80. Which of the following statements is NOT true?a. The

71、results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.b. Minimum wage can not always protect employees.c. Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.d. Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory. (E)Section C: Read the following

72、 text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. F=A+Ea. Basic airport servicesb. Air transportationc. Beginning period of air transportationd. Rapid growth in the U.S.e. Development of air transportationf. Competition81. _Airp

73、lanes are used to carry passengers, cargo and mail. Air transport companies operate scheduled airlines and non-scheduled services over local, regional, national, and international routes. The aircraft operated by these companies range from small single-engine planes to large multiengine jet transpor

74、ts.82._ The first air passenger services began in 1910, when dirigibles began operation between several German cities. The first scheduled airplane service to carry passengers began in the U.S in 1914. Several experimental airmail flights took place in India, Europe, and the United States before Wor

75、ld War I, but air transport service did not become a true business until after the war.83. _During World War Two, intercontinental air transport became firmly established. After the war the new long-distance transports with advanced facilities were increasingly able to avoid storms and strong wind a

76、nd make flights more economical and consistent. A new generation of jumbo-jet transports began operations in 1970, and the supersonic transport entered passenger service in 1976.84. _ During the 1970s the number of domestic passengers on U.S airlines increased about 78%, and during the 1980s the fig

77、ure was up about 58%. In 1990 there were 41.8 million international passengers, the figure was a 75% increase over 1980. The total cargo flown by U.S airlines almost doubled during the 1980s, from 5.7 billion to 10.6 billion ton-miles in 1990.85. _Major airports provide a wide range of facilities fo

78、r the convenience of millions of travelers. These range from such basic services as ticket-sales counters and resultants to luxury hotels, shopping centers and play areas for children. International airports must also have customs areas and currency-exchange counters and so on.Translation: 15%Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word or phrase given in the brackets.86.抱怨作业太多是没有用的。（complain）87. 当她听到这则好消息时，面露喜色。(light)88. 在作演讲时我很难使自己放轻松。（difficulty， at ease）89. 我们相信， 年轻一代将不会辜负我们的期望。 （confident）90. 自从他被任命为经理以来， 他在公司的发展方面起了重要的作用。 （part）14 / 14
