32、s)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line throug

33、h the center. Passage OneHow do people image life in the United States in the future? Below are some predictions made by Richard N. Farmer, who gave his light-hearted opinion of the “World of 2084.”Since no one wants to do the dirty, uninteresting factory-line work any more, we decide not to. So we

34、take some chimpanzees（黑猩猩）, or if we really want some strength, some great apes (猿), do a bit of scientific engineering here and there, and we create some animals, which are made for the factory line. They work their eight hours a day, and dont mind the repetition a bit.Jack Baxter, a common America

35、n of 2084, glanced at his stop-watch. He was slowing down; he could only run the kilometer in four minutes flat now, and when he was 80, he could do it in three-fifty. But, being 140 years old made a difference, regardless of what his doctor said. Jack had received his first cancer shot in 1981; he

36、had received his man-made heart in 2014, before they really got those human ones perfected, so he wasnt a very good example of a complete human. But he felt pretty good; he had been one of the lucky ones, who had received his shots to make him young again before he turned 40, so he was still a young

37、-looking fellow. Of course, he looked old in his world, since no one got much beyond 30-looking any more. And, of course, he would die; right now, fellows pushing 200 were in poor shape and kicking off.61. Who is NOT likely to do factory-line work in the future according to Farmer?A) humans B) chimp

38、anzeesC) apesD) dogs62. Why was Jack Baxter not a very good example of a complete human?A) Because he is too old.B) Because he had a cancer shot when he was young.C) Because his heart was man-made.D) Because he looked older than other people.63. Why did Jack still look young at such an old age?A) Be

39、cause everybody looked young in his world.B) Because he received a shot before 40.C) Because he had a young heart.D) Because he did exercise every day.64. What did Jacks doctor probably tell him? A) A 140-year-old can do what an 80-year-old does.B) He could run the kilometer within four minutes.C) I

40、ts natural that you will slow down as you grow old.D) Running fast is good to his health.65. What does “kick off” (the last two words) probably mean?A) do sports B) exercise C) take flights D) diePassage TwoThere is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier peri

41、od, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that soc

42、iety is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and

43、the quality of life will decrease.People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality

44、of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those wh

45、o argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them one another.66. According to those who argue against economic growth, we should slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A) the world population is ever increasingB) our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industryC) the fixed supply of natural resources
