11、 seemed hopeless and his death was certain. however, richard had an twin brother named ronald. doctors thought that maybe one of ronalds kidneys would for richard, and a person can live a healthy life with only one kidney, they decided to the operation. a kidney was from the healthy twin to the sick

12、 one, and then doctors waited to see if richards body would or reject its new kidney. it was accepted and richard was able to return to a normal healthyanother important in medical history was 1967. it marked the first transplant of aheart. dr. christian barnard transplanted the heart of a girl who

13、had been in an automobile accident into the body of a middle-aged man with very serious heart disease. this first heart transplant was successful only thirteen days; then the patients body rejected its new heart and he died. that time there have been many more heart transplants and some patients hav

18、 built d.iii. reading comprehensionthere are 4 passages in this part. each passage is followed by some true-false questions or multiple-choice questions. choose among a, b, c, and d or between t and f to answer each question. write the letter of your choice on your answer sheet. passage 1 the people

19、 who lived in rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. they couldnt sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. for them, noise was merely a disturbance. for us it has become a real danger. we know that the sounds of an averagecity are loud enough to c

20、ause serious damage to the inhabitants hearingin the united states, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. and all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the

21、development of machines. we live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drillsthat roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. the decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. a normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at

22、 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. the average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. at 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.unfortunately, the human ear does

23、 not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. a sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.but it is not only our hearing that

24、 is threatened. it has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go f

25、requently to rock-and-roll concerts.is there a solution? we do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. but merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. some cities are trying to enforce more strictl

26、y their anti-noise laws. in memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. people who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.actually, it will take everybodys efforts to keep city noises from

27、increasing. even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. the inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf. 51. for them, noise was merel

28、y a disturbance.a. b. only and nothing else c. not d. not only52. that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels.a. b. louder than c. higher than d. go up53. it has been established that loud noises, , cause loss of sleep, anger and many.a. result from b. result c. because d. 54. we do know how th

29、ey build quieter machines, if the public wants them.a. machines making people quieter b. calm machinesc. d. silent machines55. actually, it will take everybodys efforts to keep city noises from increasing.a. go on increasing b. c. keepincreasing d. stopo increase passage 2 in many respects internati

30、onal trade is no different from trade within a country. people who have more of a good than they want seek out other people who have something they lack. through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off. the complications of international trade arise because the two parties use d

31、ifferent monies. an american who wants to buy a japanese automobile cannot expect the japanese manufacturer to accept u.s dollars in payment, unless by sheer coincidence the manufacturer happens at the time to want to buy a new computer from an american firm. otherwise the auto manufacturer will be

32、stuck with money that no tempura shop or geisha in tokyo will accept; in japan the dollars are useless.of course, things are rarely as complicated as is suggested above. in both the united states and japan there are banks that specialize in buying and selling foreign currencies. the sophisticated am

33、erican would never offer dollars to the japanese. instead he would go to his bank and purchase japanese yen with his dollars, then offer yen in payment for the car. availability of yen would then make trade with japan no more complicated than buying groceries at a neighborhood supermarket. but what

34、is the price of yen? this question is more than slightly important. if yen are cheapif many can be bought for a dollarthen buying japanese goods will be attractive to americans, and american goods will be expensive to japanese buyers.the quantities of goods exchanged between two countries depend on

35、complex forces. even though unfettered trade might allow the world to consume more, each country is likely to be more concerned about employment and incomes at home than about economists assurances of the efficiency of trade. both countries may therefore try to encourage exports and discourage impor

36、ts. obviously, both countries cannot succeed at once.there is another side of the situation for many countriesthe developing countries especially, but also small island nations, such as japan and great britain. their ability to import goods in the future may be as important as economic efficiency an

37、d full employment in the present. these countries depend on imports of spare parts, equipment, and raw material to keep their economies operating. not to have the foreign exchange to buy a new bearing for a steam turbine, or oil, or fertilizer, when the need arises is a risk they simply cannot affor

38、d. for this reason, countries, even rich countries, try to keep reserves of foreign currencies around. just as individuals keep savings to meet emergencies and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off, so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreign currencies to cover unexpected

39、 events.the price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency (say, dollars) is thus a major issue. and it is closely tied to the need to maintain reserves and the desire to manage certain aspects of the domestic economy. over the past two centuries, a number of international monetary sy

40、stems have been set up to deal with these questions. all have proved inadequate. the interests of some countries inevitably conflict with the interests of others, and so the system collapses. but in spite of its limitations and faults, the international financial system is important to all of us. 56

41、. through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off.a. a gathering of people for food and amusementb. an association of people having the same political aimsc. a group of people doing something togetherd. t57. just as and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off, .

42、a. put aside b. bought without fully being paid forc. stopped d. y58. , so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreign currencies to cover unexpected events.a. to include b. to spread over c. to protect d.59. the price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currencya. b. shown in wordsc

43、. sent by express d. pressed out of something60. the price of any foreign currency is thus a major issue.a. example passage 3 in japans capital city of tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. the city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficul

44、t to get from one place to another. the price of land, too, has skyrocketed. all this explains why a group of japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. so far they have dug out space underground from fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground con

45、struction has only begun.what are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? clean, filtered air is one of them. the city of tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat of traffic accidents on the citys bu

46、sy streets. still another is the convenience of getting around: youre usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. and you can even spend the night underground if you like. the kyobashi station, for example, in downtown tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.all sorts of s

47、urprises can be found in the underground world. at the enormous shinjuku subway station you arrive at a scarce item in tokyoa parking lotand you find stores and shops a few steps away. in the second basement of the toshiba building is a “fishermans wharf” crowded with pleasant little seafood places.

48、 a tunnel that connects the hibiya and sanshin buildings has a number of art galleries, as well as medical and dental clinics. in between are little coffee shops where you can relax and get refreshments.probably the most versatile of the underground wonders, and certainly the most complicated to bui

49、ld, is the yaesu subcenter at the heart of the city, where four subway lines link up. its shopping area, which is the size of three football fields, contains 350 stores. in yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three months. you can draw money out of a bank and invest it at a stockbro

50、kers office. there are tailors, watch repairers, furriers, florists, and book sellers. and you can even get arrested by a police officer from the yaesu police station!under all the commercial activity is a parking lot for 520 cars. and under that is a control center where tv monitors watch the devic

51、es that watch the airits temperature, moisture, and purity. there is no alarm for earthquakes, which are common in tokyo, but the experts feel that there would be fewer problems underground than on the surface in case of an earthquake. yaesu also has emergency generators for power and a chemical sys

52、tem for fighting fire.underground construction can be complex and expensive. at times, the yaesu crews could work only three hours a day because their activities interfered with the running of the subway. then there was the problem caused by finding unidentified water and gas pipes. since many of th

53、e municipal blueprints of pipe systems were destroyed during world war ii, strange pipes kept b. result c. something printed d.turning up; and work had to be stopped while they were identified and taken care of by detour or replacement.there was also some resistance from the people above ground. a g

54、ood many neighborhood shopkeepers began to picket the project crying, “underground is for moles.” they reasoned that they would lose a lot of their business to the underground competition. the yaesu people countered by offering them a chance to buy stock in the project. there were a lot of takers, a

55、nd this had the effect of quieting the complainers.the yaesu builders wanted to go deeper, but after they had spent 31 million dollars, they ran out of money. still, there seems to be little doubt that there will be further development down under. in a city like tokyo, almost the only space left is

56、underground. 61. what are some advantages of shopping and eating underground?a. b. gain c. favorable d. profit62. youre usually right next to, or even in, a subway station.a. almost b. c. nearly d. nearby63. in the second basement ofis a “fishermans wharf” crowded with pleasant little seafood places

57、.a. friendly b. cheerful c. glad d. 64. and under that iswhere tv monitors watch the devices that watch the airits temperature, .a. b. method65. , strange pipes kept turning up;.a. arriving b. c. sign c. finding d. plan d. happening passage 4 when the space shuttle blasts off on its first working mission in the early 1980s, the payload it will haul into orbit will be the first of an unusual type of all-purpose carryall, called spacelab, designed to take many kinds of speciali
