Section BDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in
the passage you have just read.(A) Matsushita, the world’s largest provider of consumer electronics, has decided to move in on Hollywood. Last weekend, Matsushita company leaders met with movies VIPs from MCA, Inc., the entertainment community that produced the movies as “Jaws” and “E.T. the Extra-terrestrial”. If the negotiations are successful, Matsushita will pay somewhere between $6 billion and $7.5 billion for MCA, by far the largest U.S. buying by a Japanese company. The deal is larger than last year’s $5 billion buying of Columbia Pictures by Matsushita’s competitor, Sony Corporation. The movement by the Japanese companies shows Tokyo’s growing interest in the entertainment world. It is surprising for both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Why does a disciplined, no-nonsense nation like Japan want to get into show business? The answer is quite simple: To make money. Japanese corporation leaders feel the global potential of the entertainment business and recognize that there is an increasing market for movies and television in the rapidly industrializing world.1.

Passage One
A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo(柔道) despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a terrible car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master， and he was doing well. But he couldn't understand why， after three months of training，the master had taught him only one move.
"Sir，" the boy finally said， "shouldn't I be learning more moves?"
“This the only move you know， but this is the only move you'll ever need to
know，" the master replied.
Not quite understanding， but believing in his teacher， the boy kept training.
Several months later， the master took the boy to his first tournament(锦标赛).
Surprising himself， the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match
proved to be more difficult， but after some time， his opponent became i the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success， the boy was now in the finals.
This time， his opponent was bigger， stronger， and more experienced. For a while，the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that& the boy might get hurt , the& referee alled a& time-out ,He was about to stop the match when the judomaster intervened.

On the way home， the boy and his judo master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
"Sir， how did I win the tourτlament with only one move?"
"You won for two. reasons，" the master answered.

PassageTwo
My five-year-old daughter knew exactly what she wanted for Christmas of 1977， and told me so. Yes， she still would like the pink-and-green plastic umbrella， books， long nightgown， slippers-fine. But really， there was only one thing that mattered: a Barbie Townhouse， with all the accessories.
This was a surprise. Rebecca was not a Barbie girl， preferred stuffed animals to dolls， and wasn't drawn to play in a structured environment. Always a make-up-the-rules， design-my-own-world， do-it-my-way kid. Maybe， I thought， the point wasn't Barbie but the house， which she could claim，for herself， since we’d& already moved five times during her brief life.
Next day， I stopped at the mall. The huge Barbie Townhouse box was there: "3 Floors of High-Styled Fun! Elevator Can Stop on All Floors!" Some Assembly Required.Uh-oh. My track record for assembling things was miserable. Brooklyn-born， I was raised in apartment buildings in a family that didn't build things. A few years earlier，I 'd spent one week assernbling a six-foot-tall jungle gym from a kit containing so many parts. I spent the first four hours sorting and the last two hours trying to figure out why there were so many pieces. The day after I finished building it， as if to remind me of my limitations， a tornado(龙卷风) touched down close enough to scatter the jungle gym across an acre of field.
I assembled the Barbie Townhouse on Christmas Eve. Making it level， keeping the columns from looking like they'd melted and been refrozen， and getting that elevator to work were almost more than I could manage. And building it in curse-free silence so my daughter would continue sleeping--if， in fact， she was sleeping-added a layer of& challenge .By dawn I was done .
Shortly thereafter， my daughter walked into the living room. Her surprise may not be real ， but her delight was utterly genuine and moves me. to this day， 34 years later. Rebecca had spurred& me to do something、I didn't think I could do. It was for her， and一like so much of the privilege of being her farther--it brought me further outside myself and let me overcome doubts about me capacities .
37.In the author’s eyes , his little daughter was_______
A. obedient& B. unstable
C. original&& D. stubborn
38 .The author thought that his daughter’s choice of the Barbie Townhouse ,________
A .was natural for a five-year-old girl
B．was influenced by her life experience
C．reflected the change in her taste
D．brought her back normal
39.&For the author， assembling things_______•
A. was largely in his blood&B. was a challenge he enjoyed
C. was always his weak point &D. was part of his family education
40.&Assembling the Barbie Townhouse_________________.
A.&brought out the author's potentials
B.&turned out to be easier than expected
C.&actually drove the author crazy.
D.&D. was a bad memory for the author
41.&In the last paragraph the author mainly expressed______
A. his pride in being a father .&B. his gratitude to his daughter
C. his concern about his capability&&&& D. his delight in helping his daughter
42. What can be learned about the relationship between the author and his daughter?
A.&They are on good terms with each other.
B.&They barely speak to each other.
C.&They are polite but cold to each other.
D.&They keep secrets from each other.
Passage Three
It is all very well to blame traffic& jam， the cost of petrol and the fast pace of
modem life， but manners on the roads are becoming deplorable. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well， again ,to have a tiger in the tank， but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者)， but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign， otherwise it may get completely out of hand.
Road courtesy is not only good manners， but good sense too, It takes the most
good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to
uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an
act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary& in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.
Contrary to general opinion， young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.
Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to
overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. They
couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed
down again and hogged the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn
attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps."They
manufacture them by force， using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a
warning."Punch-ups(打群架)are& quite common. It can't be long before we hear of
pistols and knives being used.
Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be，he can't be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.
43.&The author is most concerned about&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. traffic jam&B. road manners
C. fast pace of life &D. high cost of petrol
44.& The word "deplorable " (Para. 1) most probably means "&&&&&&&& ".
A. more serious&& B. more tempting
C. disturbing&&&&& D. noticeable
45.&What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.&Many drivers tend to fight back against rude behaviors.
B.&A little courtesy may help ease the tensions on the road.
C.&Goodwill and tolerance may help relieve traffic jam.
D.&Many drivers nowadays lack a good sense of courtesy.
46.&It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that&&&&&& .
A.&young drivers are more aggressive
B.&young drivers would soon lose their good manners
C.&elder drivers are more cautious
D.&elder drivers should improve their driving skills
47.&An example of good manners on the roads is&&&&&&&&&& .
A. signaling cars to overtake &B. manufacturing a gap
C. selecting a lower gear&&&&&&& D. using the direction indicator
48.&According to the author， a good driver should&&&&&&& .
A. be technically skilled & B. have a good state of mind
C. be sympathetic with others &D. take good care of his vehicle
Passage Four
On how the world has changed over the last 50 years，not all of it has been good. As you are looking for organic food information, you have obviously become aware that a better alternative exists and you are taking a critical look at the source and production practices of the companies producing the world's food supplies.
The purpose of organic food information is to give you an understanding of what is going into your food. You will see that there are many benefits to organic food that you didn't know before. The basis behind knowing about organic food information is the fact that farmers are resorting to using artificial fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂)to control disease and insect attack in order to produce more crops to satisfy growing demand. These artificial fertilizers leave something poisonous in and on the fruit and vegetables we consume which in turn is absorbed and stored by our bodies.
Even the quality of food has gone down in recent years. Today's fruits have nowhere near the Vitamin C levels they did at one time. However，with organic food information you learn that organic food has fifty percent more nutrients， minerals and vitamins than any other form of produce that has been grown under intensive farming. If you are eating non-organic produce you will have to eat more fruit in order to make up for this deficiency. But then the dangerous cycle continues since you will be eating more chemicals that are worse for your health than they are good for you.
Another aspect of organic food information is the production of& meat and poultry (家禽). Most only consider produce when it comes to organic food information disregarding the antibiotics and hormones that are given to both cattle and poultry that are being force fed. Ask yourself what happens to all these antibiotics and hormones when the animal is killed， the remaining of these antibiotics and growth hormones reside in the meat which are then consumed， digested and stored in human bodies. There is no way that an animal that isn't kept in healthy conditions can produce healthy food for humans to eat.
You have nothing to lose by trying organic product，not only will it be healthy for you but you will also be able to eat produce and meat the way they are supposed to be. You will likely be so impressed with the taste of organic fruit that you will never return to the mass-produced fruit again. While cost and availability can be a big issue for some，you can do a bit of research online and find a local store that stocks organic produce for a reasonable price.
49. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that organic food&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. is considered as a better choice
B. is mostly supplied by world-famous companies
C. has become popular over the last 50 years
D. reflects the change of production practices
50. Farmers use artificial fertilizers and pesticides to&&&&&&&&&&&& .
A. satisfy people's critical demand&& B. develop better farming technology
C. get a higher crop yield&&&&&&&&& D. keep people in better health
51. According to Paragraph 3，organic food&&&&&&&&&& .
A. has gone down in quality&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& B. has more nutrients

Passage Five
Drinking wastewater? The idea may sound distasteful，but new federally funded research says more Americans are doing so-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.
Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and， in some cases, may be even safer to drink，according to a report released by the National Research Council. “We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity,& especially in coastal areas，” says Jorg Drewes， an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. "This can be done reliably without putting the public at risk，" he says， citing technological advances. He says it's a waste not to reuse the nation's wastewater， because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm runoff(径流) as well as used water from homes， businesses and factories.
In many places，the report says，the public does not realize it's drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream: For example， wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston，the source for Houston's drinking water.
Despite the growing importance of this reuse，the report says there's been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwide since a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Association says wastewater reuse is common, so the council's report is important but not surprising. Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase，especially for irrigation and industrial needs. He says it will take longer to establish potable(适于饮用的) uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater， however treated.
“We have to do something to address water scarcity”，says Olga Naidenko， a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group. “Less than 10 of potable water is used for drinking，cooking，showering or dishwashing. We flush it down the toilet，literally.” Technologies exist to safely treat the water，she says， although some are expensive.
The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more， than most water conservation options but less than seawater desalination(脱盐) and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.
55.&As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinking wastewater&&&&&&&& .
A. is to become a growing necessity
B. is well received by the Americans

A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.
B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.
C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.
D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.
57.&Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public&&&&&&& .
A. accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmly
B. is concerned about the safety of the drinking water
C. does not believe that wastewater is safe to drink.
D. is not aware of the nature of their drinking water
58.&According to Alan Roberson,&&&&&&&&& .
A. it is not safe to drink wastewater
B. the report has surprised the public
C. the report helps build up public confidence
D. the public has yet to accept drinking wasterwater
59.&Olga Naidenko’s remarks emphasize&&&&&&&&& .

C. the new perspective&&&&&&&&& D. the potential risks
60.&What does the report suggest to the EPA?
A. Weighing different water conservation options.

C. Setting up national standards for water reuse.
D. Monitoring water supplies at a national level.
