15、d mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage: At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of Black September Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police

16、 had been brought into the village, following a tip off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage. The guerr

17、illas demanded the release of 200 Palestinians held in Israeli jails and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended. After some negotiations, the terrorists were told they would be flown with their hostages to an A

18、rab country. They were taken by helicopter to the Furstenfield military airport 25 miles from Munich. Just before midnight the guerrillas and their hostages began to walk across the tarmac to a waiting Boeing 727 aircraft. Suddenly all the airport lights were turned out and German police sharp shoot

19、ers opened fire. The rescue attempt failed tragically. In the gun battle all nine hostages were killed, as well as four Arabs and one policeman. Three Arabs were captured and one escaped into the nearby woods. On the 8th, Israeli planes bombed ten guerilla bases in revenge for Munich massacre. 41. T

20、he most possible reason for Israeli athletes being attacked and kidnapped is that _ A. they had a conflict with the Arab guerrillas B. the Arab guerrillas wanted to save the Palestinians held in Israeli jails C. the German Government hated Israel D. the Arab guerrillas hoped to get a large sum of mo

21、ney 42. When the trouble took place, the Olympic Games _ A. were completed B. were going on C. were to be finished D. were to take place 43. How many Arabs were there as terrorists? A. Seven. B.

22、 would begin another conflict. B. They would begin to negotiate. C. They would try to improve each others relation. D. They would turn to UN. Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage: Increasingly, over the past ten years, people-especially young people-have become aware of the need to

23、change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in

24、 farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is

25、 a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare t

26、his with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; but also produce eggs wh

27、ich lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this

28、 necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, i

29、n the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It

30、is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on healthy eating. 45. Which stat

31、ement best expresses the main idea of this article? A. People should eat any food to keep themselves healthy and strong. B. People should eat natural foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. C. People should eat fiber foods to keep themselves healthy and strong. D. People should eat vegetables t

32、o keep themselves healthy and strong. 46. Particularly processed foods means A. foods which are particularly processed by adding chemical additives B. foods which are particularly made by commercial farms C. foods which are specially produced by commercial factories D. foods which are not specially

33、made by adding anything 47. Natural foods means A. foods good for health B. foods not good for health C. foods such as vegetables, fruit and grain from rich organic matters soil D. crops from rich organic matters soil and meats of animals from healthy pastures 48. Yet all it does is provide us with

34、energy, in the form of calories. It means A. processed food provides us with energy B. natural food furnishes us with vitamins and minerals C. sugar gives us enough energy in the form of calories D. fiber helps us to digest food Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage: Sixteen years ag

35、o, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their m

36、arriage. Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them. Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as man

37、y women were reported missing from home-the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity. To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and self-conf

38、idence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life. Clinical psychologist Paul Brow

39、n believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel

40、 guilty, upset and empty. The Salvation Armys Investigation Department has a 70 percent success rate in tracking missing people down. According to Lt. Co. Bramwell Pratt, head of the department, men and women run away for very different reasons though lack of communication is often the biggest motiv

41、e. The things that disturb a mans personality are problems like being tied up in debt. Or serious worries about work. And some women make impossible demands on their husbands. Women usually leave for more obvious reasons but fear is at the root of it. Men are more often prepared to give their marria

42、ge another try than women, but we are aware that, for some wives, it would be a total impossibility to return after the way theyve been treated. 49. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle A. could not forgive him for taking the children B. had been expecting it to happen for some time C. could not

43、 understand why D. blamed herself for what had happened 50. The man or woman left behind usually _ A. demits responsibility for the situation B. wishes the person who has left were dead C. feels embarrassed and useless comes back within a year D. will have no legal marriage life for seven years 51.

44、Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as A. an act of despair B. an act of selfishness C. the result of a sudden decision D. the result of the enormous sense of guilt 52. The Salvation Army believes that _ A. most men run away because of the impossible demands of their wives B. mens

45、reasons are more understandable than womens C. some women never give their men another chance D. women are often afraid to start marriage again Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excl

46、uding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30%increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated

47、 to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not

48、 so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous year

49、s, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food decline

50、d in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal

51、services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation (飽和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric

52、refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered. 53. The author thinks that the trend towards a rapid rise in consumption was undesirable because A. people saved less B. people were wealthy C. people consumed less D. expenditures on luxuries increased 5

53、4. It can be inferred form the increase of fruit consumption that A. people had to spend more on transportation and furniture B. people were more health conscious C. people were more money conscious D. the price of fruit dropped dramatically 55. The word registered in the last line most probably mea

54、ns _ A. marked B. approached C. listed D. booked 56. From this passage, we learn that the people _ A. spent more money than they earned B. saved more money than previously C. spent their money wisely D. invested and consumed at an accelerated pace Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passag

55、e: Online courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council, about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the Web. At the university level, they cost the same as tradition

56、al classes and require similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class participation. Generally speaking, students congregate (使聚集) online throughout each week to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur asynchronously (不同時發(fā)生地) rather than in real time. (You read others comments and post your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments a
