17、t answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the

18、 wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程記錄) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a

19、 ticket. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (華氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. In these circumstances I was scarc

20、ely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too

21、late I realized that they were ing from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled

22、 the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the op

23、portunity to leave quietly. 1. What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph? A. They found the writer amusing. B. They never wore uniforms. C. They were feared by employees. D. They distrusted older employees. 2. Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?

24、 A. He wasn't tall enough. B. The buses were too fast. C. People avoided paying. D. He couldn't move. 3. The old lady in the incident described ________. A. was injured B. fainted C. was dragged D. hit her head 4. When the incident with old lady happened, ________.

25、A. the writer had already decided to give up the job B. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicity C. the writer was offered the chance to continue D. the consequences were as the writer expected 5. What is the writer's attitude now to the job? A. He feels responsible for the i

26、ncident that ended it. B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors. C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly. D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Urban (城市的) life has alway

27、s involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make petition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished

28、 in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of munities. City dwellers (居民) may bee trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As

29、 defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入簿的); journeys outside the home are u

30、sually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the petitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has mi

31、grated to the suburbs and beyond. Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (無情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structu

32、res. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living

33、in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保護) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks. 6. According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are ________. A. anxious to succeed B. in need of

34、help C. naturally aggressive D. likely to mit crime 7. The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because ________. A. people do not municate with their neighbors B. criminals are difficult to trace in large populations C. people feel anonymous there D. the trappings

35、of success are attractive to criminals 8. The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas because they ________. A. dislike having to travel far to work B. have been forced by circumstances to do so C. don't like the idea of living in the suburbs D.

36、have turned against society 9. Architectural changes have affected city life by ________. A. scattering long-established munities B. giving the individual a say in planning C. forcing people to live on top of each other D. making people move to the suburbs 10. The author's genera

37、l argument is that urban life would be improved by ________. A. moving people out of tower blocks B. restoring old buildings C. building munity centers D. preserving existing social systems Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. My love of nature goes right back

38、to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.

39、I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I

40、went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print. I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick

41、 up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it. There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while

42、some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has bee much more difficult for the professional wil

43、dlife photographers. Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in

44、educating young and old alike. 11. The author decided to go to university and study Zoology because ________. A. she wanted to improve her life in the countryside B. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmother C. she was keen on the natural world D. she wanted to stop moving aroun

45、d all the time 12. How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets? A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible. B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions. C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlif

46、e. D. She knows the best places to find wildlife. 13. The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because ________. A. there are fewer of them B. they have bee more nervous of people C. it is harder to find suitable places D. they have bee frightened of cars

47、 14. According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realize that ________. A. photography is an enjoyable hobby B. we learn little about wildlife at school C. it is worthwhile visiting the countryside D. it is important to look after wild animals

48、 15. Which of the following describes the author? A. Proud. B. Sensitive. C. Aggressive. D. Disappointed. Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives a

49、nd what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV. The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He will spend most of his working life typing mil

50、lions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem.

51、Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching. A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressure

52、s: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways. If the detective has to deceive the wor

53、ld, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out

54、 crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical. 16. It is essential for a policeman to be traine

55、d in criminal law ________. A. so that he can catch criminals in the streets B. because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous C. so that he can justify his arrests in court D. because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer 17. The everyday life

56、 of a policeman or detective is ________. A. exciting and mysterious B. full of danger C. devoted mostly to routine matters D. wasted on unimportant matters 18. When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police ________. A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away

57、 B. work hard to track down the criminals C. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation D. usually fail to produce results 19. The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because ________. A. he is an expensive public servant B. he must always behave wit

58、h absolute legality C. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve it D. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world 20. Detectives are rather cynical because ________. A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting people B. hardly anyone tells them the truth C. society does not punish criminals severely enough D. D too many criminals escape from jail 23 / 23
