15、stion there are foursuggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose one best answer andblacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.Passage OneLisa is a good example of a student in shock.She is anattractive,intelligent twenty-year-old col-lege junior at a stateuniversity.She was a straight-A stud

16、ent in high school and a memberof basket-ball and volleyball teams there.Now,only three yearslater,Lisa is miserable.She has changed her ma-jor four times and isforced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition（学费）o She suf-fers from sleeping and eating disorders and has noclose fri

17、ends.Sometimes she bursts out crying for no apparent reasons.What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of collegestudents each year.As a result,about one quarter of the studentpopulation at any time will suffer from symptoms（症状）ofdepression.Of that group,almost half will experience depressionint

18、ense enough to call for professional help.But many reject thatidea,because they dont want people to think there*s something wrongwith them.There are three reasons todays students are suffering more thanin earlier generations.First is a weakening family supportstructure.Today,with high divorce rates

19、and many parentsexperiencing their own psychological difficulties,the traditionalfamily is not always available for guidance and support.Another problem is financial pressure.In the last decade tuitioncosts have skyrocketed up a-bout sixty-six percent at public collegesand ninety percent at private

20、schools.At the same time there has beena cutback in federal aid to students.College loans are now muchharder to obtain.Conse-quently,most students must work at least part-time.A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majorsavailable.Because of the multitude（众多）and difficulty ofchoosi

21、ng a major,college can prove a time of great indecision.Manystudents switch majors.As a result,it is becoming commonplace totake five or six years to get a degree.lt can be depressing for studentsto be faced with the added tuition costs.31.Whats the main idea of the text?A.Going to college is a depr

25、xpertsB.statistics and reasonsC.research reportsD.personal experiencesPassage TwoYour mind like your body is a thing where the powers aredeveloped by effort.This is a principal use,as I see it,of hard work instudies.Unless you train your body you can*t be a goodsportsman,and unless you train your mi

26、nd you can*t be much of ascholar.The four miles a boatman covers at top speed is in itselfnothing to the good,but the physical capacity to hold out over thedistance is thought to be of some value.So a good part of what youlearn by hard study may not be retained forev-er,and may not seem tobe of much

27、 final value,but your mind is a better and more powerfulinstru-ment because you have learned it.Knowledge is power,nbutstill more the ability of acquiring and u-sing knowledge is power.Ifyou have a trained and powerful mind,you are bound to have stored itwith something,its value is more in what it c

28、an do,what it can graspand use,than in what it contains;and if it were possible,as it is not,tocome out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it,youwould still be ahead,and still,in a manner,educated.36.The title that best expresses the main idea of this passageis_.A.Knowledge Is Powe

29、rB.How to Retain and Use KnowledgeC.Physical and Mental EffortsD.The Trained Mind Is What One Needs37.In his example the author tells his readers t hat.A.it is important to build up ones physical capacityB.it is no good having much physical trainingC.it is more important to know ones capacity than t

32、lege educationPassage ThreeIt would be difficult to have a society like ours without publicgoods such as defense,transporta-tion,and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing theuse of it for another person.One of the best examples of a publicgood is national defense

33、.One person can benefit from our nationalde-fense without reducing another persons benefits.In fact,it isdifficult to keep any person in our socie-ty from enjoying the benefitsof national defense.The market system does not work well in producing publicgoods.This is because a person who refuses to pa

34、y for a public goodcannot be kept from using it.Suppose that the neighbors in ahigh crime area decide to hire a police force.Each neighbor,exceptMrs.Smith,agrees to pay$1 ()0 a year for it.Mrs.Smith refuses to paybecause she knows that if all the others pay the$10(),the policewill guard the area any

35、way.So Mrs.Smith can enjoy the services ofthe police force without paying$100.The market system has no way to deal with this type ofproblem.For this reason,we cannot ask each person to make a directpayment in the form of product price.Therefore,we collect moneyfor public goods by using taxes.41.Acco

38、ts benefits at any timeC)fails to keep its benefits from being usedD)enjoy its benefits all the same44.In the third paragraph the author explains_.A)what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB)how weak the market system is in producing public goodsC)why some people refuse to pay for

39、 public goodsD)what we can do to make use of the market system45.From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes isto.A)ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB)reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC)get extra money to support public goodsD)remind people of their du

40、tyPassage FourEven plants can run a fever,especially when theyre under attackby insects or disease.But un-like humans,plants can have theirtemperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up.Adecade ago,adapting the infrared(红夕卜线)scanning technologydeveloped for military purposes and other satellites

41、,physicist StephenPaley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops todeter.mine which ones are under stress.The goal was to let farmersprecisely target pesticide(杀虫齐。)spraying rather than rain poisonon a whole field,which invariably includes plants that donthave pest(害 虫)problems.Even

42、 better,Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company coulddetect crop problems before they became visible to the eye.Mountedon a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night,an infrared scanner meas-uredthe heat emitted by crops.The data were transformed into a colorcode map showing where plants were running fever

43、s.Farmers couldthen spot-spray,using 5()to 70 percent less pesticide thanthey otherwise would.The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984,afteronly three years.Farmers re-sisted the new technology and long-termbackers were hard to find.But with the renewed concernabout pesticides on prod

44、uce,and refinements in infraredscanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture expertshave no doubt the technology works.This technique can be used on75 percent ofagricultural land in the United States,says George Oerther of TexasA&M,Ray Jackson,who re-cently retired from the Department

45、ofAgricultrue,thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be a-doptedby the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial backingwhich he failed to obtain 1()years ago.46.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when theyare.A.sprayed with pesticidesB.in pour physical conditionC.facing

46、an infrared scannerD.exposed to excessive sun rays47.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infraredscanning t o.A.locate the problem areasB.drew a color-coded mapC.measure the size of the affected areaD.estimate the damage to the crops48.Farmers can save a considerable amount of
