Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 本文屬于社會問題的議論文。介紹了UN的一篇對濫用毒品的研究報告。通過UN對流行音樂行業(yè)對濫用毒品的影響的研究報告來說明由于流行音樂的全球化，在一定程度上造成了濫用毒品的擴(kuò)大和蔓延。譴責(zé)一些媒體組織以及年輕人創(chuàng)造了容忍接受濫用毒品的環(huán)境，呼吁社會和政府履行責(zé)任，減少親毒品信息對社會尤其是青少年的影響。Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. “The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness,”says the UNs International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year. The 74-page study says that pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures.“Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (76) Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a persons lifestyle,”the study says. Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (過量用藥). “Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use,”it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singers and movie stars-including Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs-have died of eitherdrug abuse or drugrelated illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting, drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. “In most countries, the names of certain POP stars have become familiar to the members of every household,”the study says. The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drag abuse. “Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive,”says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. “Powerful pressure groups mn political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs,”he says. Ghodse also points out that all thee developments have created an environment which is tolerant(容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention effortscurrently under way. The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug (贊成吸毒) messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are berug exposed.1. Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with? A. The use of drags for non-medicinal purposes is, an acceptable part of a persons lifestyle. B. The spreading ofpop music may cause drag abuse to go beyond country boundaries. C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drag abuse. D. Governments have no ability to act against the pro-drag messages of the youth culture.【答案】B。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第二段內(nèi)容可知，流行音樂在年輕人當(dāng)中影響巨大，而一些流行歌曲鼓勵人們吸毒。因此可知選擇B。2. The expression “under fire”? in the first paragraph means_. A. in an urgent situation B. facing some problems C. being criticized D. in trouble【答案】C。詞匯解釋題。文章主要論述現(xiàn)代社會的吸毒現(xiàn)象與日俱增的原因，而首先提到的就是“流行音樂的影響”。所以根據(jù)文章上下文，可知流行音樂正在受到大眾的批評。3. From the third paragraph, we learn that the youth_. A. tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role models B. are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse dmgs C. try to face the deadly effect of drug use D. may stop abusing drugs【答案】A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use.可排除B、C、D選項。4. Which of the following is. not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse? A. The spreading of pop music. B. The media. C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups. D. The low price of some drags.【答案】D。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第四段，A、B、C均提到過。所以選擇D。5. According to the passage, pop music_. A. has a great influence on young people of most cultures B. attracts a small number of young people C. is not a profitable industry D. is alone responsible for drug abuse【答案】A。細(xì)節(jié)題。B與文中意思相反。C、D未提到。Passage 2 本文介紹了老年社會都來后需要注意的問題。第一段說大部分老年人都在發(fā)展中國家。后面幾段講到需要盡可能的保證人們的身體健康、讓年輕人對老年人保持尊重、克服工作歧視等方面的內(nèi)容。Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries. It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase. What arethe implications of these increased numbers of older folk? (77) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live. the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability( 殘疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state. (78) Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African couintries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change. Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧視) in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older peopleto be active members in a countrys development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to, build a suitable safety net. To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.6. The proportion of older people_. A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries B. is one-seventh of the population developing countries C. will increase much faster in China than in France D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020【答案】C。根據(jù)文章it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take可知中國人口老化速度，中國比法國快。7. According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worded about? A. The diseases and disability of older people. B. The longer life and good health of people. C. The loss of taxes on older people. D. The increasing respect for older people.【答案】A。根據(jù)原文，One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(殘疾). 可知，政府最大的擔(dān)心是人們上了年紀(jì)之后，生病和殘疾的可能性增大了。8. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should_. A. be treated differently in different cultures B. enjoy a similar lifestyle C. be ignored as society changes D. be valued by the younger generations【答案】D。根據(jù)文章第四段Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society.可知，作者認(rèn)為有必要讓年輕后輩理解并看重社會中的年長者。因此選擇D。9. Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem? A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment. B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people. C. Providing free health care for sick older people. D. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.【答案】C。在文章第五、六段中可以找到A、B、D的對應(yīng)語句，而C選項，文中只提到盡可能地保持人們身體健康，但未提到“free health care”。因此選C。10. The author concludes in the last paragraph that_. A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem B. population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgently C. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem、【答案】B。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該有必要為老年人建立一個合適的安全網(wǎng)，因此排除A（已經(jīng)花了很多時間）、C（太忙以致于不能解決這個問題）、D（很多時間和努力會被花掉）Passage 3 本文介紹了世界范圍內(nèi)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長與消滅貧困的問題。介紹了經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們對于如何消滅貧困，發(fā)展世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的看法。以及人們對世界銀行和國際貨幣組織一些措施的看法Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:(79) Extensive new studies suggestthat the world has, made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization (自由化) after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, finds that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 .percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. “This is a huge success for the world as a whole,”says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. “We are doing something right.”The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF國際貨幣基金組織), have done too little for the worlds poor. (80) The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by th6se institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies- calling for open markets, freebusiness activities, and tight monetary control are working and correct.But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic.success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just free, markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were yotmg, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial;flows. They have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors sharethe knowledge and skill on modem technologies,11. The word “plunged” in the firs paragraph means_. A. decreased B. Climbed C. increased D. dropped into water.【答案】A。根據(jù)文章第一段“每天生活費不大于1美元的人口比例正在減少”，可知，“poverty has plunged”的意思是“貧困正在減少”。12. From the passage, we learn that_ A. World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the world B. IMF only helps the rich in the world C. World Bank controls all the banks in the world D. there are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years【答案】D。根據(jù)文章第二段，可知，世界上仍然還有很多貧困人口存在，在如何解決這個問題上，一些研究者并不完全同意世界銀行的某些做法。另外，根據(jù)做題技巧A選項的nothing，B選項的only，C選項的all都是表示絕對性的詞，因此排除。13. According to this passage, in_, the world had the largest number of poor people. A. 1999 B. 1980 C. 1950 D. 1990【答案】C。文章第一段，the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999.14. According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT_ A. encouraging export B. opening up to foreigninvestments C.limiting international financial flows D. controlling import【答案】B。根據(jù)文章最后一段，在本國行業(yè)弱小的時候limiting imports，鼓勵向富裕國家pushing exports，控制單純的國際流資putting controls on purely international financial flows。但是引進(jìn)foreign-owned factories的時候，必須保證這些投資者與本國分享先進(jìn)技術(shù)15. The best title for this passage might be_. A. Chinas Contribution to the Reduction of Poverty in the World B. World Banks Extraordinary Progress in Recent Decades C. Indias Leading Role in Reducing Global Poverty D. Global Progress in Reducing Poverty【答案】D。主旨題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹全球性的解決貧困問題，而非某個國家或組織的行為，因此ABC均為以偏蓋全。Part Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
