passage 1
in 1967, in response to widespread public concern aroused by medical reports of asbestos-related deaths, the national medical research council organised a committee of enquiry to investigate the health threats associated with the use of asbestos in the building industry.
after examining evidences provided by medical researchers and building workers and management, the council published a report which included advice for dealing with asbestos. the report confirmed the findings of similar research in the united states and canada exposure to relatively small quantities of asbestos fibres, they concluded, was directly responsible for the development of cancers, asbestosis and related diseases. taking into account evidence provided by economists and building industry management, however, the report assumed that despite the availability of other materials, asbestos would continue to play a major role in the british building industry for many years to come because of its availability and low cost.
as a result, the council gave a series of recommendations which were intended to reduce the risks to those who might be exposed to as best as in working environments. they recommended that, where possible, asbestos-free materials should be employed. in cases where asbestos was employed, it was recommended that it should be used in such a way that loose fibres were less likely to enter the air. the report recommended that special care should be taken during work in environments which contain asbestos. workers should wear protective equipment and take special care to remove dust from the environment and clothing with the use of vacuum cleaners.
the report identified five factors which determine the level of risk involved. the state and type of" asbestos is critical to determining the risk factors. in addition, dust formation was found to be limited where the asbestos was used when wet rather than dry.
the choice of tools was also found to affect the quantities of asbestos particles that enter the air. machine tools produce greater quantities of dust than hand tools and, where possible, the use of the latter was recommended.
a critical factor which takes place in risk reduction is the adequate ventilation of the working environment. when work takes place in an enclosed space, more asbestos particles circulate and it was therefore recommended that natural or machine ventilation should be used. by closely following these advice, it was claimed that exposure can be reduced to a reasonably practical minimum .
36. exposure to asbestos fibres can cause cancer _______.
a. only when asbestos is used in building industry.
b. only when it is used in large quantities.
c. even if it is used in small quantities.
d. if they are used when wet rather than dry.
37. exposure to asbestos fibres is harmful to people’s health
a. so the use of asbestos is limited.
b. but asbestos will continue to be used for a long time to come.
c. so other new kinds of materials are under development.
d. but the)’ will not be so when ventilation devices are used
38. it can be inferred from the passage that the real danger comes from _______.
a. the 3sbestos dust that people take in
b. the contact of the worker’s skin with asbestos particles
c. the inferior quality of the asbestos itself
d. the excessive use of man-made asbestos material
39. evidence from the economists and the building industries shows that _______.
a. exposure to asbestos fibres is cancer causing
b. asbestos is in extensive use in building industry
c. use of asbestos is being reduced gradually
d. exposure to asbestos fibres can be reduced significantly
passage 2
elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. this is not always easy to provide as their behaviour can sometimes be irritating. if they get excited or upset they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not get upset yourself. you should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.
failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. the obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. you must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward. "good morning mum. this is fiona, your daughter. it is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."
when the elderly person makes confused statements e. g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter of fact fashion: "you don’t work in the office any more. you are retired now. will you come and help me with the dishes?"
we rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. these assist us to organise and direct our behavior. confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case .
40. the main subject of the passage about elderly people is ________.
a. their general care and welfare
b. promoting their physical and mental health
c. how they can be helped to look after themselves as far as possible
d. assisting people with physical problems to live a normal life
41. the passage give help for one. responsible for an elderly forgetful person by _______.
a. removing some of his or her worries about the job
b. suggesting sensible things to do in these circumstances
c. providing ideas that help in recovering the lost memory
d. explaining the causes of loss of memory
42. by "in a calm matter-of-fact fashion" (para. 3) the author most probably means _______.
a. plainly and sensibly
b. by a detailed explanation of the mistakes
c. by showing sympathy and understanding
d. by ignoring them and talking about something else
43. visual aids can give practical help to elderly people by ________.
a. bringing back to mind various kinds of useful information
b. informing them about what has to be done next
c. helping them to revive old memories
d. cleaning up their mistakes and confusion
大passage 3
when you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine(or rather, what you feel)is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. the image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. and if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.
when you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt" image of yourself starts to. become clearer. it is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.
the image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much larger than they look. if you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous, you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.
but although the "felt" image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. it is the image through which you recognise your physical existence in the world. in spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom, it allows yon to locate new feelings when they occur. it allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.
if the felt image is damaged for any reason-if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side-these tasks become almost impossible.
what is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one’s own visual appearance. if one half of the "felt "image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognising the 3ffected part of his body.
it is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor’s touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.
44. according to the passage, the "felt" image is ________ the "mirror" image .
a. much larger than
b. clearer than
c. less clear than
d. less important th3n
45. the felt image becomes clearer when you move, for ________.
a. your own actions create it
b. your actions become part of it
c. you are surprised by what you see in the mirror
d. moving is better than lying still
46. it is implied in the passage that people who are paralysed(癱瘓) must have very vague images of themselves because ________.
a. they lose their consciousness
b. they shut their eyes
c. they do not move
d. they look in the mirror
47. which of the following statements is true?
a. some patients who have had strokes cannot see one side of their bodies .
b. patients who have had strokes are easy to imagine the "felt" images .
c. the strokes the writer writes about eliminate the whole of the "felt" image.
d. the strokes the writer writes about do not destroy feeling in the affected part of the body.
passage 4
time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. you may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. the desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. you soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise that you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course.
this opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, i think, the main attraction of a bookshop. there are not many places where it is possible to do this. a music shop is very much like a bookshop. you can wander round such places to your heart’s content( 盡情地) . if it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: "can i help you, sir?" you needn’t buy anything you don’t want. in a bookshop an. assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing(瀏覽) . then, and only then, are his services necessary of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
you have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. it is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brassrubbing, something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. this volume on the subject, however’ happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.
this sort of thing can be very dangerous. apart from running up( 積聚迅速) a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. book-sellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent.
there is a story which well illustrates this. a medical student had to read a text-book which was far too expensive for him to buy. he couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his bookshop. every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. one day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and about to leave when he noticed the ’owner of the shop beckoning(打招呼) to him. expecting to be reproached, he went towards him. to his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was tucked away in a corner. "i put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it, "he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
48. you may spend too much time in a bookshop because ________.
a. the dust-jackets are very attractive
b. you start reading one of the books
c. it is raining outside
d you have to make sure you don’t buy a dull book as a present
49. in a good bookshop ________.
a. nobody takes any notice of you
b. the assistant greets you in a friendly way
c. your heart is contented
d. you feel that you are in a music shop
50. it is very easy to enter a bookshop and buy ________.
a. a book on ancient coins
b. a best-selling novel on brass-rubbing
c. a book that only vaguely interests you
d. a book, that unexpectedly interests you
51 . the text-book the medical student was interested in was tucked away in a corner ________.
a. to prevent anyone from buying it
b. because the medical student might take it away
c. in case the medial student was tempted to buy it
d. because it was a rare and expensive book
passage 5
beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. ai-most everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告)
but in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
while attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to woman.
handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success .
attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
all unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes why are attractive women not thought to be able? an attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine(女性的)and an attractive man more masculine(男性的) than the less attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required .
this is true even in politics. "when the only clue is how he or she looks’ people treat men and women differently, "says anne bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. she asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness’ the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. they were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
the results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
52. in traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _______.
a. reinforces the feminine qualities required
b. makes women look more honest and capable
c. is of primary importance to women
d. often enables women to succeed quickly
53. bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _______.
a. turns out to be an obstacle to men
b. affects men and women alike
c. has as little effect on men as on women
d. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
54. it can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often _______.
a. practical b. prejudiced
c. old-fashioned d. radical
55. the author writes this passage to ________.
a. discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
b. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
c. demand equal rights for women .
d emphasize the importance of appearance
