    11．Mr．Peter Johnson，aged twenty-three，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only escape route--through the boot（行李箱）．
    Mr．Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch（沟渠） at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．"Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，"Mr．Johnson said，"I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．"
    Mr．Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．
    Later he said，"It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear，but no help came．"
    It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．"It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．"
    His hands and arms cut and bruised，Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs．Lucy Bates．Trembling in a blanket，he said，"That thirty minutes seemed like hours．"Only the tips of the car wheels were visible，police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．

    21．In which section of a newspaper can we read this article？B
    A．Book review      B．News report       C．Campus life     D．Continued story
    22．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5"Finally it gave"means thatC．
    A．luckily the door was torn away in the end
    B．at last the wrench went broken
    C．the lock came open after all his efforts
    D．the chance was lost at the last minute
    23．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
    A．the ditch was along a quiet country road
    B．the accident happened on a clear warm day
    C．the police helped Mr．Johnson get out of the ditch
    D．Mr．Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended．

    16．Rent control，like all other government-mandated（强制执行的）PRICE CONTROL，is a law placing a maximum price，or a"rent ceiling，"on what landlords may charge tenants（房客）．It is a program designed to stop rents from rising rapidly and is used mainly in large urban areas where there are more people than housing．In cities with rent control，the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment．Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in the apartments．Their rent cannot increase；therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes．However，almost all the critics conclude that rent control is destructive．They say after a long time，rent control may have negative effects．
    In a 1990 survey of 464 people published in．the May 1992 issue of the American Economic Review，93% of US respondents agreed that a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of apartments available．Landlords are too cautious （perhaps too smart） to put their faith in rental apartments because they know that the rental-controlled apartments cannot increase their profits．Therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits．They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled．As a result，new apartments are not built．Many people who need apartments cannot find any．
    Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way．The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers．The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled，low-paying jobs．However，if the minimum is high，employers may hire fewer workers．They will replace workers with machinery．The price，which is the wage that employers must pay，increases．Therefore，other things being equal，the number of workers that employers want decreases．Thus，critics claim，an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment．Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage．
    Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity，Because of the law，workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum．Furthermore，employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages．But the supporters make a big error．They fail to realize that it is possible for such a law to increase wages beyond the value of what the workers contributes．
    Economic theories predict the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production，rent control，and the minimum wage．The predictions may be correct only if"other things are equal"．Economists do not agree on some of the predictions．They also do not agree on the value of different decisions．Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it．Economists do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions．

    61．According to the passage，rent control willD．
    A．encourage landlords to invest in apartments
    B．improve the quality of apartments
    C．protect the tenants'interests
    D．cause a shortage of apartments
    62．We can infer from the passage that．D
    A．many people won't find jobs if the minimum wage is set
    B．some economists do not agree with the economic theories
    C．economic theories are not always correct
    D．the results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted
    63．The passage is mainly about．B
    A．the relationship between supply and demand
    B．the possible results of government controls
    C．the economic theories about rent control
    D．the urgency of getting rid of rent control
    64．The author's attitude towards the rent control and the minimum wage isC．
    A．supportive         B．objective          C．critical                D．indifferent．

    Swedish   Archaeologists Make New Discoveries
    Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos，five hours north of Athens．The Archaeological （31）Hare scattered on and around the Strongiloveni hill on the great Thessaliam plains and can be traced to several historical periods．
    "What used to be considered remains of some （32）Isettlement can now be upgraded to remains of a city higher significance than （33）Cthought，"says Robin Ronnland，PhD student in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at the university of Gotheoburg and leader of the firework．
    "We came across the site which has never been explored before in connection with another project last year and retailed the great （34）Jright away．"
    Working together with the Swedish Institute at Athens and the local archaeological service in Karditsa，the Vlochos Archacological Project （VLAP） was started with an aim to explore the remains．The project's research team completed the first field season during two weeks in September 2016．
    Ronnlund says that the hill is hiding many （35）E．Remains of towers，walls and city gates can be found on the mountaintop and slopes，but （36）Ganything is visible on the ground below．The ambition is to avoid digging and instead use （37）Asuch as ground-penetrating radar．This will enable the team to leave the site in the same （38）Bas it was in when they arrived．The success of this method is （39）Dfrom the results of the first field season．
    "We found a town square and a street network that indicate that we are dealing with quite a large city．The area inside the city wall measured over 40hectares．We also found ancient pottery and coins that can help to（40）Fthe city．Our oldest finds are from around 500BC，but the city seems to have flourished mainly from the fourth to the third century BC before it was abandoned for some reason，maybe in connection with the Roman conquest of the area．
    Ronnlund believes that the Swedish-Greek project can provide important clues as to what happened during this violent period in Greek history．

    1．There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier："Paper or plastic？"Well，which type of bag would you choose？
    While all types of bags have some influence on the environment，it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder．They are made from a renewable source，break down easily，burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled．However，the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones．How can this be true？
    Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production．And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher．Besides，the influence on forests is very serious．It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags，which happens to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly．In terms of recycling，the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded．Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does paper．
    Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones，plastic still seems to be considered by governments as the more harmful of the two．In Ireland，for example，a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags．People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag，and as a result，their use has dropped quickly．
    There's no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags．However，we don't seem to be doing that at present．That may be because they fall apart quickly．If so，cloth bags are a better choice，but still，their production also has a bad influence on the environment．So what to do？How should we answer the question of"Paper or plastic？"It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question："What can I do to help the environment？"

    32．The questions in Paragraph 1are used toC．
    A．express the author's doubts
    B．tell readers how to save money
    C．introduce points for discussion
    D．show the kindness of the cashier
    33．Compared with plastic bags，paper bagsA．
    A．need more water to produce
    B．require less energy to recycle
    C．take more time to break down
    D．have less influence on forests
    34．The underlined word"discarded"in Paragraph 3probably means"B"．
    A．shared
    B．given up
    C．discussed
    D．put forward
    35．Which question does the author probably hope the cashier will ask？D
    A．Paper or cloth？
    B．Paper or plastic？
    C．A small bag or big one？
    D．A new bag or your own one？
