Passage One
How much living space does a person need？ What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met？ Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior. of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior. patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well？ Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival？
This passage is mainly about ______.
A.living space and behavior
B.population and living conditions
C.interesting experiments on rats
D.a natural law for human society
What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage？A.To determine how much living space a rat needs.
B.To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.
C.To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.
D.To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.
The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.A.are directly related with population
B.may cause an increase in violence
C.may lead to high birth rate
D.may bring about pollution problems
How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded？A.They eat a lot and become friendly to others.
B.They sleep little and act quite peacefully.
C.They eat little but sleep soundly.
D.They become nervous and tend to be war-like.

Passage Three
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something.
His purpose is settled and decided. He knows what he wants and he just finds it and buys it, but cares little about the price. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly takes it out, and the business of trying it on follows at once. If all is well, the deal(买卖) can be and is often completed in less than five minutes, with hard any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the thing asked for. He would say, "I know this jacket is not the style. you want, Sir, but would you like to try it on for size？ It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience (耐心 ) with this treatment, and the usual answer is, "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."
Now how docs a woman go about buying clothes？ In almost every respect (方面) she does so quite differently. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind about what she wants, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to what the salesman tells her, even to what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. What is most important in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Besides, most women have an excellent sense of value when they boy clothes. The), are always ready for the unexpected bargain (便宜货). Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes time, but surely it is enjoyable to women shoppers. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
44. When a man is buying clothes, ______.
A. he buys cheap things and does not care about the quality
B. he chooses things that others recommend
C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things
D. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too expensive

第4题
W: Well, can we summarize the problem from our point of view？ First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade fairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened？
M: Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.
W: Hmm, actually, you were late with the initial proposals, so you had very little time. And in fact, we only asked for small changes.
M: Well, whatever. Can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for four extra weeks？
W: That's not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade fairs. Because of this, we're asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.
M; Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four-week sustention to the campaign？
W: We are not happy. We lost business.
M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.
W: Ok, let's suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign？
M: Well, let's take a break. We're not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What do we learn about the man's company？
23. Why was the campaign delayed according to the man？
24. What did the woman propose as a solution to the problem？
25. What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation？
(25)
A．It publishes magazines.
B．It is engaged in product design.
C．It sponsors trade fairs.
D．It runs sales promotion campaigns.

JANICE: Yes, fine. 5.00 it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.
JON: Oh, before I forget. What sort of things do I need to get done.., to rent with you？
JANICE: Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank...
JON: No problem...
JANICE: And then a reference letter from your employer. 【Q8】
JON: Yes, that's OK.
JANICE: Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in... 【Q9】
JON: Right... 2 weeks' notice. And what about a deposit？ 【Q10】
JANICE: That's one month's rent, whatever the amount is.
JON: OK. One month. Is that it？
JANICE: No, sorry, one more.., you will have to pay for the contract.

The review study,"Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century,”is featured as the cover story for theFebruary issue of the journal Nature Plants. It is the first to compare organic and conventional agricultureacross the main goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Sciences: productivity,economics，and environment.
Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient，requiring more land to yield the sameamount of food. It's true that organic farming produces lower yields，averaging 10 to 20 percent less thanconventional. Advocates contend that the environmental advantages of organic agriculture far outweighthe lower yields，and that increasing research and breeding resources for organic systems would reduce theyield gap.Sometimes excluded from these arguments is the fact that we already produce enough food tomore than feed the world's 7.4 billion people but do not provide adequate access to all individuals
In some cases，organic yields can be higher than conventional. For example，in severe droughtconditions，which are expected to increase with climate change in many areas，organic farms can produceas good，if not better，yields because of the higher water-holding capacity of organically farmed soils.
What science does tell us is that mainstream conventional farming systems have provided growingsupplies of food and other products but often at the expense of other sustainability goals.
Conventional agriculture may produce more food，but it often comes at a cost to the environment.Biodiversity loss，environmental degradation，and severe impacts on ecosystem services have not onlyaccompanied conventional farming systems but have often extended well beyond their field boundaries.With organic agriculture，environmental costs tend to be lower and the benefits greater.
Overall，organic farms tend to store more soil carbon，have better soil quality， and reduce soil erosioncompared to their conventional counterparts. Organic agriculture also creates less soil and water pollutionand lower greenhouse gas emissions. And it's more energy-efficient because it doesn't rely on syntheticfertilizers or pesticides.
Organic agriculture is also associated with greater biodiversity of plants，animals，insects andmicroorganisms as well as genetic diversity. Biodiversity increases the services that nature provides andimproves the ability of farming systems to adapt to changing conditions.
Despite lower yields，organic agriculture is more profitable for farmers because consumers are willingto pay more.Higher prices，called price premiums，can be justified as a way to compensate farmers forproviding ecosystem services and avoiding environmental damage or external costs.
51. What do we learn from the conclusion of the author's review study？
A)More resources should be tapped for feeding the world's population.
B)Organic farming may be exploited to solve the global food problem.
C)The long-term prospects of organic farming are yet to be explored.
D) Organic farming is at least as promising as conventional farming.
52. What is the critics' argument against organic farming？
A)It cannot meet the need for food.
B) It cannot increase farm yields.
C )It is not really practical.
D) It is not that productive.
53. What does the author think should be taken into account in arguing about organic farming？
A)Growth in world population.
B)Deterioration in soil fertility.
C) Inequality in food distribution.
D)Advance in farming technology.
54. What does science tell us about conventional farming？
A) It will not be able to meet global food demand.
B)It is not conducive to sustainable development.
C) It will eventually give way to organic farming.
D) It is going mainstream throughout the world.
55. Why does the author think higher prices of organic farm produce are justifiable？
A)They give farmers going organic a big competitive edge.
B)They motivate farmers to upgrade farming technology.
C) Organic farming costs more than conventional farming.
D)Organic farming does long-term good to the ecosystem.

A man who knows a bit about carpentry (木工术) will make his table more quickly than the man who does not. If the instructions are not very clear, or the shape of a piece is puzzling his experience helps him to conclude that it must fit there, or that its function must be that. In the same way, the reader's sense and experience helps him to predict what the writer is likely to ,say next; that he must be going to say this rather than that. A reader who can think along with the writer in this way will find the text.
This skill is so useful that you may wish to make your students aware of it so that they can use it to tackle difficult texts. It does seem to be the case that as we read we make hypotheses (假设) about what the writer intends to say; these are immediately modified by what he actually does say, and are replaced by new hypotheses about what will follow. We have all had the experience of believing we were understanding a text until suddenly brought to a halt by some word or phrase that would not fit into the pattern and forced us to reread and readjust our thoughts. Such occurrences lend support to the notion of reading as a constant making and remaking of hypotheses.
If you are interested in finding out how far this idea accords with (符合) practice, you may like to try out the text and questions. To do so, take a piece of card and use it to mask the text. Move it down the page, revealing only one
t a time. Answer the question before you go on to look at the next section. Check your prediction against what the text actually says, and use the new knowledge to improve your next prediction. You will need to look back to earlier parts of the text if you are to make accurate prediction, for you must keep in mind the general organization of the argument as well as the detail within each sentence. If you have tried this out, you have probably been interested to find how much you can predict, though naturally we should not expect to be right every time -- otherwise there would be no need for us to read.
Conscious use of this technique can be helpful when we are faced with a part of the text that we find difficult: if we can see the overall pattern of the text, and the way the argument is organized, we can make a reasoned guess at the next step. Having an idea of what something might mean can be a great help in interpreting it.
The author uses the examples of carpentry and reading to show______.
A．the importance of making prediction
B．the similarity in using one's senses
C．the necessity of making use of one's knowledge
D．the most effective method in doing anything

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.
1.An artist hopes that the public will ____.
A.understand him and learn from him
B.notice only shapes and colors in his work
C.teach him something
D.believe what he says in his work
2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___.
A.uses shapes and colors instead of words
B.uses unusual words and phrases
C.does not express himself /herself well
D.does not say anything clearly
3.The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _____.
A.only provide interesting patterns
B.teach the public important truths
C.have no pattern or form
D.carry a message to the public
4.The writer also points out that contemporary art contains ____.
A.nothing but meaningless patterns
B.uninteresting aspects of the world
C.completely meaningless subjects
D.subjects chosen partly for their meanings
5.What is implied in this passage？()
A.A painting is more easily understood than a symphony.
B.Art is merely the arranging of shape and color.
C.Every artist tries to say something to the public.
D.One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.
