11、onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Most of the big towns in Eastern Europe have seen a large increase in population over the last 30 years. This has caused extreme housing shortages, and the vast majority of people living in towns rent flats. By western

12、 standards, the flats are rather small, with a family of four living in two-or three-room flat with kitchen or bathroom. But compared with Western Europe, the rents are extremely low.An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his income on rent and about 15 percent on total housing cos

13、ts, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his income on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his income on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like mea

14、t and coffee are extremely expensive.Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are far in advance of other parts of the world. Most medical and social services are provided free, and in some countries workers do not even have to make contributions to the health and insurance f

15、unds, since these contributions are made by the employer. The factory in Eastern Europe provides many facilities and services which are not supplied in Western Europe. Moreover, Eastern Europe does not suffer from one of the major problems of Western Europes economyunemployment. All the constitution

16、s of the individual countries state that every citizen has a right and duty to work.91. The serious housing shortage in big towns of Eastern Europe have been caused mainly by_. C. an increase in population 92. According to the passage, the rents in Western Europe _. A. are rather high 93. The averag

17、e worker in Eastern Europe spends _.C. a large part of his income on food.94. The worker in some Eastern European states enjoy better medical and social services because_. B. it is their employers who pay for their health and insurance funds.95. Which of the following is not true? D. Western Europe

18、does not suffer from one of the serious problems of Eastern Europes economy.Passage 2Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on peoples attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people behave more irritably and less coopera

19、tively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems.However, psychologists distinguish between “sound” and “noise”. “Sound” is measured physically in decibels. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way

20、 because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity” depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear aeroplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By co

21、ntrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has co

22、ntrol over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise whi

23、ch they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.96. According to the selection, people_. A. can not work better in a noisy situation 97. “Sound”, as defined by psychologists, _. D. can be measured by machines.98. People waiting at

24、 an airport _. A. enjoy hearing aeroplanes taking off and landing.99. People enjoy listening to music_. A. though, in fact, they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound.100. We can conclude from the passage that we need to control noise pollution if _.A. we want to stay both psychologically and phy

25、sically healthy.Passage 3Ever since William Harvey defined an animals heart as “the sovereign of everything within them, the sum of their microcosm,” in De Motu Cordis in 1628, the heart has been one of the most widely studied organs of the body and fortunately so, given that heart disease is the wo

26、rlds leading cause of death. Each year, around 8 million people die from heart attacks and many millions more suffer from, and eventually succumb to, heart diseases such as congestive heart failure and arrhythmia (心律不齐). Global figures are rising, yet calculations suggest that this number could be s

27、lashed by around 50 per cent if smoking were removed from the equation. However, decreases would be offset to some degree as the worlds population ages, diets become more fat-laden and lifestyles more sedentary (久坐的), as all these factors are harmful to a healthy heart.Although scientific study of t

28、he heart began four centuries ago, the past few decades have seen a paradigm (范例) shift in research. We are now able to monitor the process of contraction and relaxation that underlies the gross function of the heart at close quarters by tracking the movement of calcium (钙) and other ions (离子) withi

29、n myocytes (肌细胞). And genetic information is used in trial heart gene therapy. As with all diseases, understanding the processes involved at the molecular and genetic level is enabling us to make inroads in preventing and treating heart disease. 101. If there is no one smoking, people suffering from

30、 heart diseases can be reduced _.C. by about half 102. According to the passage, _ is harmful to our hearts. B. long-time sitting103. Scientific study of the heart _. C. is different from what it used to be104. At the molecular level, researchers study the heart _. C. by doing trial heart gene thera

31、pyD. by observing the heart beat of the subjects105. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Smoking used to be the only factor contributing to heart diseases.Passage 4 Anini holds the singular distinction in India of being the only district capital without an all-weather road providing bas

32、ic transportation. Now, in what is believed to be the most remote cyber center in all of India, a new state-of-the-art computer center has put Anini on the “information superhighway.” The facility is one of 487 free community information centers that the Government of India has been installing throughout northeastern India.
