 第1题,1.??   People living on parts of
 the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993, the
 owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their
 horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had
 eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built.
 While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several
 houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the
 sea.     Erosion（侵蚀）of the white cliffs along
 the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has
 become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be
 abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts
 have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for
 local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be
 swallowed up by the hungry sea.     Angry
 owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to
 protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in
 most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of
 millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go
 further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to
 another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves
 reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as
 limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an
 uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened
 areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a
 knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home. 
 A. The rising of the sea level.
 B. The experts’ lack of knowledge.
 C. The washing-away of limestone cliffs 
 D. The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.
 A. will soon become a problem for people living
 in central England 
 B. has now become a threat to the local residents
 C. can be stopped if proper measures are taken
 D. is quickly changing the map of England
 A. warn people whose homes are in danger
 B. provide an effective way to slow it down
 C. head to its eventual solution
 D. lead to its eventual solution
 A. house agents along the coast do not support
 the idea 
 B. it is too costly and will endanger neighbouring areas 
 C. the government is too slow in taking action
 D. they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents
 A. take the quality of the house into
 consideration 
 B. guard against being cheated by the house agent
 C. examine the house carefully before making a decision
 D. be aware of the potential danger involved

 第2题,2.??If we were asked exactly what we were
 doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not
 remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it and
 account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer
 to the question.     It is the same in history.
 Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written
 account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most
 important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by
 fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at
 all because the people of that time and place did not know how to
 write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived
 in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written
 records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing
 about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa,
 because they had not learned to write.    
 Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know
 something of the past. They have heard about it from older people,
 and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most
 important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told
 for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their
 fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered
 history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so
 exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are
 much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than
 when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such
 spoken stories are often very helpful. 
 A. “Remembered history”, compared
 with written history, is less reliable. 
 B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our
 learning of the human history. 
 C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to
 answer many questions. 
 D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.
 A.  there was nothing worth being written
 down at that time
 B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record 
 C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire 
 D.  the people there did not know how to write
 A. history based on a person’s
 imagination
 B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to
 mouth 
 C. songs and dances about the most important events 
 D. both B and C
 A. it is written down 
 B. no written account is available 
 C. it proves to be true     
 D. people are interested in it
 A. kept a written record of every past
 event
 B.  not burnt their written records in wars 
 C. told exact stories of the most important happenings 
 D. made more songs and dances

 第3题,3.??    In the last 500 years,
 nothing about people—not their clothes, ideas, or
 languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original
 chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South
 American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world
 during the 1500’s. And although it was very expensive, it
 quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks
 were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
 The potato is also from the new world. Around 1600, the
 Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely
 grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish
 people starved when the crop failed during the “potato
 famine” of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave
 their motherland and move to America. There are many other
 foods that have traveled from South American to the Old World. But
 some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the
 world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important
 crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is
 native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a
 drink by Arabs during the 1400’s.    
 According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person
 named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berried
 on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the wide-awake
 feeling that one–third of the world’s population now
 starts the day with.
 A. Food
 B. Clothing
 C. Ideas
 D. Languages
 A. some cocoa trees
 B. some chocolate drinks
 C. some shops
 D. some South American Indians
 A. they were so dependent on potatoes that they refused to eat
 anything else
 B. they were forced to leave their motherland and move to America
 C. the weather conditions in Ireland were not
 suitable for growing potatoes
 D. the potato harvest was bad
 A. Brazil
 B. Colombia 
 C. Ethiopia
 D. Egypt
 A. One–third of the world’s population drinks coffee.
 B. Coffee is native to Colombia.
 C. Coffee can keep one awake.
 D. Coffee drinks were first made by Arabs.

 第4题,4.??When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in
 Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, “Why did she live
 to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among
 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat
 surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their
 lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy
 place, city living often provides benefits that county living can
 lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of
 those interviewed.     This factor is exercise.
 In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to
 wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires
 some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯), and
 so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local
 supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often
 no alternative to walking.     On the other
 hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk
 every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school,
 work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars. 
 A. the complaints of people in apartment
 houses 
 B. the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death 
 C. the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger 
 D. the image of cities in general
 A. benefits of walking
 B. occasions for walking in city life 
 C. comments made by city people 
 D. problems of city living
 A.  to take the elevator 
 B. to walk up the stairs
