Leisure Rather Than Goods
For any given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London’s biggest dailies. It is understood that when two unions quarrel over three job, the argument is settled by giving each union two. That means 33 percent overmanning, 33 percent less productivity than could obtained.
A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.
But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.
Street crowds in Stockholm, Paris and New York move quickly and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace ( except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district ).
Every stranger is struck by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus, if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say:” Oh dear, what a pity!”. The rubbish collectors stop to chat (聊天) and call the housewives “ Luv”. Crime rises here as in every city but there still remains a gentle bone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.
In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over goods.
16. When disputes over job opportunities arise among British unions, thirty-three percent of the worker will be out of work.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
17. The reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe think about Britain where Britons do their work in an unhurried sort of way.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
18. “ Tea breaks matter “ ( Line 2, Para. 2)
indicates that they are an important aspect of the British way of life.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
19. The word “ this “ ( Line 1, Para. 3 ) refers to the fact that there are more men on any given job than are needed.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
20. By “ what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right “ ( Line 1, para.6) the author means to say that quarrels between unions will help create jobs.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
21. We know from para. 3 that Britons generally do not want to work too hard.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.
22. The pace of work in continental Europe is much slower than in Britain.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned.

Energy Crisis
1. The fact is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been officially announced, has been with us for a long time now, and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile base. The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time and in any case, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use.
2. New sources of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on, mankind is going to advance cautiously and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all.
3. To make the situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world’s population is in sight. Although the birth-rate has dropped in some nations, including the United States, the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens.
4. the food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.
5. In fact, as food items will tend to decline in quality and decrease in variety, there is very likely to be increasing use of flavoring additives. Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population to the point where the planet can provide a comfortable support for all, people will have to accept more “ unnatural food”.
1. support for all, people will have to accept more “ unnatural food”.
A.The quality and variety will decrease
B.Energy is crisis
C.We are lack of food
D.Finding new sources of energy need time
E.The world’s population is high
23. Paragraph 1 _________
24. Paragraph 2 _________
25. Paragraph 3 _________
26. Paragraph 4 __________
27. World industry can’t ______________.
28. At the present rate of use, the oil wells will ________
29. If food supply will not increase, ___________.
A.People will have to accept more “ unnatural food”.
B.No sign that any showing of the world population
C.All run dry in thirty years
D.We are heading into a crisis
E.Be allowed to depend on fragile base.
30. __________ make the situation worse.

第一篇
Kwashiorkor
In October 1949 the united Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of people throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialists particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known among the children in Africa.
Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.
The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores. The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.
The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.
It was necessary that the children of Africa be helped to eat better. The doctors suggested that the production of foods rich in protein be increased, they thought that more fish should be caught and more nuts should be grown. They urged education plans to teach mothers better ways of feeding children. They suggested that the United Nations send large quantities of powdered milk to hospitals and child-health centers. Finally, they recommended closer study of all the special problems connected with kwashiorkor.
31. Kwashiorkor is a disease which is caused by __________.
A. poor living conditions
B. mosquitoes
C. having no food
D. not having enough protein
32. One difficulty in discovering kwashiorkor is that ____________.
A. it has no viruses
B. it is like other disease
C. it is hard to see signs of it
D. it does not last long
33.A main sign of the disease is that children who have it __________.
A. cannot sit still
B. grow more hair
C. have a fat stomach
D. are always hungry
34. A good way to cure the disease is by ____________.
A. eating more meat
B. eating more starch
C. taking the proper medicine
D. drinking pure water
35. They can help to put an end to kwashiorkor by sending __________.
A. drugs
B. sanitation teams
C. powdered milk
D. all of the above
第二篇
Hair Detectives
Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among other useful applications.
Water is central to the new technique. Our bodies break water down into its parts: hydrogen and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues and hair.
But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. Different forms of a single element are called isotopes. And depending on where you live, tap Water1 contains unique proportions of the heavier and lighter isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen.
Might hair record these watery quirks2? That's what James R. Ehleringer, an environmental scientist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City3, wondered.
To find out, he and his colleagues collected hair from barbers and hair stylists in 65 cities in 18 states across the United States. The researchers assumed that the hair they collected came from people who lived in the area.
Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the scientists found that hair overwhelmingly reflected the concentrations4of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in local tap water. That's probably because people usually cook their food in the local water. What's more, most of the other liquids people drink including milk and soft drinks contain large amounts of water that also come from sources within their region.
Scientists already knew how the composition of water varies throughout the country. Ehleringer and colleagues combined that information with their results to predict the composition of hair in people from different regions. One hair sample used in Ehleringer's study came from a man who had recently moved from Beijing, China, to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew, it reflected his change in location.
The new technique can't point to exactly where a person is from, because similar types of water appear in different regions that span a broad area. But authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues.
36. What does the writer say about tap water? Which of the following is NOT correct?
A) Tap water reflects the concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in different regions.
B) Tap water is a kind of soft drink in the United States.
C) Tap water contains unique proportions of isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen.
D) Tap water is used to cook food.
37. James R. Ehleringer tried to find out
A) if our bodies break water down into its parts.
B) if it is possible to collect hair samples across the country.
C) if tap water contains unique proportions of isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen.
D) if the composition of hair can indicate exactly where people are from.
38. Which of the following statements is meant by the writer?
A) Ehleringer was successful in his research.
B) Ehleringer failed in his research.
C) Ehleringer can be a successful detective.
D) Ehleringer's research proved successful in China.
39. What does the last paragraph tell you?
A) The new technique can tell precisely where a person lives.
B) Water supplied in different regions all come from the same source.
C) Types of water used in different regions provide useful information for the police.
D) Hair samples provide the most important clues to identify crimes.
40. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the title?
A) Human hair may help detectives to solve crimes.
B) Animal hair may help detectives to solve crimes.
C) Detectives watch hairy criminals closely.
D) Most detectives are hair specialists.

World Crude Oil Production May Peak a Decade Earlier Than Some Predict
In a finding that may speed efforts to conserve oil, scientists in Kuwait predict that world conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014. This prediction is almost a decade earlier than some other predictions.Their study is in ACS’ Energy&Fuels1.
brahim Nashawi and colleagues point out that rapid growth in global oil consumption has sparked a growing interest in predicting "peak oil"."Peak oil "is the point where oil production reaches a maximum and then declines. Scientists have developed several models to forecast this point, and some put the date at 2020 or later. One of the most famous forecast models is called the Hubbert model2. It assumes that global oil production will follow a bell shaped curve3. A related concept is that4 of "Peak Oil." The term "Peal Oil" indicates the moment in which world wide production will peak, afterwards to start on irreversible decline.
The Hubbert model accurately predicted that oil production would peak in the United States in 1970. The model has since gained in popularity and has been used to forecast oil production worldwide.
However, recent studies show that the model is insufficient to account for5 more complex oil production cycles of some countries.Those cycles can be heavily influenced by technology changes, politics, and other factors, the scientists say.
The new study describes development of a new version of the Hubbert model that provides a more realistic and accurate oil production forecast.Using the new model, the scientists evaluated the oil production trends of 47 major oil-producing countries, which supply most of the world’s conventional crude oil6. They estimated that worldwide conventional crude oil production will peak in 2014, years earlier than anticipated. The scientists also showed that the world's oil reserves7 are being reduced at a rate of 2.1 percent a year. The new model could help inform energy-related decisions and public policy debate, they suggest.
41.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "sparked" appearing in paragraph 2?
A.flashed
B.stimulated
C.changed
D.ended
42.The term "a bell shaped curve" appearing in paragraph 2 indicates that global oil production will
A.take the shape of a flat curve.
B.keep growing.
C.keep declining.
D.start to decline after global oil production peaks.
43.Which of the following is NOT true of the Hubbert model?
A.It successfully predicted that oil production peaked in the U.S.in l 970.
B.It has been used to predict oil production in many countries.
C.It is insufficient to explain oil production cycles in some countries.
D.It provides a very realistic and accurate oil production.
44.What is the major achievement of the new study mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.It predicts global oil production will peak in 2014.
B.It predicts oil production will decline in 47 countries.
C.It confirms further effectiveness of the Hubbert model.
D.It discovers a new trend of Worldwide oil production.
45.Who develops the new version of the Hubbert model?
A.American scientists.
B.Kuwaiti scientists.
C.British scientists.
D.Scientists of 47 major oil-producing countries.
