After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moons movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞擊) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its centre. However, the moon has very little iron in its centre. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they _.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that _.A. answers to the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology helped scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that _.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because _.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarleys Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if Id like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and Ive always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarleys Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today its the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because _.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldnt find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying jobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud _.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23.

The author _ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. _, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. Since she worked in the bookstore after schoolB. When she could help people make sense of the worldC. If she sensed she was working for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. One form of driver assistance that is sure to call ones attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS(global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are then slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal(油門). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse requests from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改裝) to the remaining old carsrather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it for a whileagain, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determined by _.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is _.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to _.A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems _.A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that _.A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. While acting may run in the family, it wasnt Angelina Jolies only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And Im very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my fathers footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You dont really know your parents in a certain way, and they dont really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way Im dealing with a husband whos been injured, or the way I m crying alone.”“And its the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is.

Keith found someone to help send Voytas to the hospital.
