With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it ’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable Lesson. This untidy man walled up to my register( 收款机 ) with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day. I couldn ’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn ’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job. Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “ Charge it to me, ” was all he said. What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion. 56 ． The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits______. A. promised to obey the store rules B. forgot to take any money with him C. hoped to have the food first and pay later D. could not afford anything more expensive 57. Which of the following best describe the old gentleman? A. kind and lucky B. poor and lonely C. friendly and helpful D. hurt and disappointed 58. The writer acted upon the store rules because_____ A. he wanted to keep his present job B. he felt no pity for the old man dishonest C. he considered the old man dishonest D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man 59. What does the writer learn from his experience? A. Wealth is more important anything else B. Helping others is easier said than done C. Experience is better gained through practice D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion. (B) Japanese Direct Investment in Asia 1951-1990(US$ million) Country or area Manufact uring Resource s Developm ent Commerce and services Other s Total A 722 38 8952 137 9849 B 2049 4 571 107 2731 C 2937 12 3630 101 6680 D 3657 6813 1209 12 11691 E 716 84 1952 71 2823 The chart above shows Japanese direct investment ( 投资 ) in five Asian countries or areas (A,B,C,D,E) from 1951till 1990. The value of Japanese investment in manufacturing ( 制造业 ) was roughly the same in Hong Kong and in the mainland of China, but in commerce( 商业 ) and services Hong Kong was over the mainland of China by seven billion dollars(=7,000 million dollars). In resources development, Japan didn ’ t show great interest in Singapore and even smaller attention was paid to Taiwan which received exactly one third as much money as Singapore. In total, the biggest investment by Japanese was made in Indonesia. 60.In total, Japan invested about ____ billion dollars more in Hong Kong than in Singapore. A. 3.2 B. 7.1 C. 8.7 D.4.1 61. ______attracted Japan most in terms of resources development. A. The mainland of China B. Hong Kong C. Indonesia D.

Japan ’ s investment in commerce and services in Singapore was about three times that in Indonesia. C. In Indonesia, Japan invested more than twice as much money in resources development as in manufacturing. D. In the field of “ Others ”, Hong Kong ranked second. (C) Lack of parent willpower may contribute more to juvenile obesity than under-exercising or overeating. Research suggests that having overweight parents is a big influence upon a child ’s weight, with one study finding that children with overweight parents were four times likely to be overweight themselves. The findings add heat to an already fierce political debate( 争 论 ) over children obesity. The Prime Minister, John Howard, last week decided that $ 116 million be used for programs to deal with obesity, while the Opposition Leader, Mark Latham, recently announced that his party would move to protect children from unhealthy food advertisements. Clare Collin, a senior lecturer at the University of Newcastle, believes such programs will definitely fail unless they influence the way of life of whole families. “ If we can’t get parents to take action against their own weight problems, then we can’t expect to influence their kids. ” she said. However, Professor Louise Baur from the Children ’ s Hospital at Westmead, doubts whether adult education programs offer any solution to weigh problems. “Many parents know they need to lose weight and they know it influence their kids, but they lack the willpower to do anything about it. ” The 10-year study of 150 American children found two-thirds of children with overweight parents became overweight. Only one in six children whose parents were of average weight became overweight. The president of the Australian Society for the Study of Obesity Associate Professor Gary Witttert, said parents needed help in doing their job and the Opposition Party ’s policy might be on the right track. “We know that driving without a seat belt is unsafe, so we make law against it. ” he said. “Obesity is a major public health concern, so why shouldn ’t we change the law regarding unhealthy food ads? ” 64. What does the underlines phrase “juvenile obesity ” mean? A. Adult education B. Childhood overweight C. Parents ’ influence D. Growing pains 65.What is TRUE about the program supported by the Prime Minister? A. Debates on them will become less fierce. B. They will be effective in dealing with obesity C. A large sum of money will be spent on them D. They will influence people ’s way of life 66. Both Collins and Baur believe that overweight parents _____. A. will come up with better solutions B. will help with their children ’s education C. should be more active in reducing weight D. should carry out at least 10 years study 67. According to some experts, the Opposition Party ’ s policy _____. A. can help fight against unemployment B. may protect kids from unhealthy food ads C. should be brought back to the right track D. will work well to prevent traffic accident （D） Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities. Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption( 腐败 ), crime, and poverty. Their distrust was caused, in part, by a national idea that rural living superior to urban living. This attitude continued even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became the center of the nation. Gradually, economic reality overcame this bias. Thousands abandoned the precarious( 不稳定的 ) life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people moved from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicions( 怀疑 ) with them. These new urbanites, who believed that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city. One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities( 公用设施 ). Water and sewerage systems were usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge expensive rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them. Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves. Supporters of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price. While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order. Urban renewal( 更新 ) in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities were satisfied with zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development. 68. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. A comparison of urban and rural life in the early twentieth century B. The role of government in twentieth-century urban renewal C. Efforts to improve urban life in the early twentieth century D. Methods of controlling urban growth in the twentieth century. 69. The first paragraph suggests that most people who lived in rural areas ______. A. were suspicious of their neighbors B. were very proud of their lifestyle C. believed city government had too much power D. wanted to move to the cities 70. In the early twentieth century, many rural dwellers migrated to the city in order to_______. A. participate in the urban reform movement B. seek financial security C. comply with a government ordinance D. avoid crime and corruption 71. What concern did reformers have about privately owned utility companies? A. They feared the services would not be made available to all city dwellers. B. They believed private ownership would slow economic growth. C. They did not trust the companies to obey the government regulations. D. They wanted to ensure that the services would be provided to rural areas. （E） Film cameras and digital cameras work in a similar way. Film cameras After all, a film camera is basically a light-proof ( 不 透光的 ) box. It has a lens ( 镜头 )system to focus light onto the film at the back of the camera. Let ’s suppose that we are outside on a beautiful summer day trying to take a picture of the family dog. We are using a film camera. We finally get the dog to lie still. You point the camera at him. What happens? Light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter. In other words, nothing happens yet. Now let ’s say that the dog looks really cute and you decide to snap a picture. What happens? When you press the button, the shutter open for a very short period of time. A small amount of light passes through and hits the film at the back of the camera. This creates an upside-down and reversed ( 反向的 )image on the film. When you finish the roll of the film, you can take it to the photo shop to develop it and you will have a great picture of your dog! Cameras come with different lens lengths. Why does it matter? Many small cameras have shorter focal lengths, which means that there is a small distance between the lens and the place where the light focuses at the back of the camera. This gives you a large view of the area you are taking a picture of. Lenses with a long focal length show a smaller area but allow you to focus on distant objects and make them bigger. They are often called telephoto lenses. A good example of a long focus lens is one that is used by sports photographers to get photos of football players as if they were standing right beside them. Digital cameras In digital cameras, the light falls not on film but onto a sensor ( 传感器 )called a CCD (Charge Coupled Device). This digitally converts light and colour into a digital information or pixels ( 象素 ). The CCD is the heart of any digital camera and usually the most expensive part ---- depending on how good it is. 72. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Both digital cameras and film cameras focus light onto the film at the back of the camera. B. All cameras have a sensor. C. Digital cameras and film cameras have something in common. . D. Small cameras usually have longer focal lengths. 73. In the “Film cameras” part, you fail to take the picture of the dog because _____. A. light goes into the camera lens and hits the shutter B. you haven ’t aimed the camera at the dog C. the image of the dog is not created D. the sensor fails to convert light and colour into a digital information 74. The main reason that sports photographers can get clear and big photos of players is that ____. A. they use digital cameras B. the lens of their cameras is excellent C. their focus lenses are short D. their focus lenses are long 75. Generally speaking, a digital camera ’s price is ____. A. closely related to the quality of the CCD B. irrelevant to the quality of the CCD C. closely related to the lens D. irrelevant to the lens 第二卷 （二部分，共 35 分） 第一节 请认真阅读下面对话，并根据各题所给首字母的提 示，在方框的右栏标有题号的横线上， 写出一个英语单词 的完整、正确的形式，使对话通顺。 Jack(J) ：Where have you been, Laura?

On one hand, the natural resources are limited. We don’t have enough water ,oil or forest in many places. On the other hand ,people keep cutting down more trees . At the same time, everyone can see that the environment is getting worse, people suffer from more natural disasters nowadays. What is worse, air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. In my opinion, we students should do something to stop wasting. We can save food, water, and paper, electricity, etc, in our daily life. Meanwhile, we should take buses instead of cars, refuse to use chopsticks which are only used once and don ’ t use plastic bags.
