15．As humans，we are also considered as animals sometimes!But unlike other animals，we have not had to fit the environment in which we live．Instead，we have been the shaper （改造者） of our environment and explorer of nature．While other animals must find a home，we have created our home wherever we are living．We have fitted ourselves in a variety of environments．
Our skill at doing this has been due to our imagination，creativity and enthusiasm．If we chose to live in the desert，we learned how to save water，build a home among the rocks and mountains and depend on animals rather than vegetables for our food．Sometimes it was necessary for us to follow the animals as they moved，in order not to lose our source of food．
Living in a place where there was plenty of rain and mild temperatures，we learned that we could plant a greater variety of crops，raise a few animals in a smaller，more contained area and not have to move our home．We have been able to live wherever we choose because we have not accepted the limitations of a particular environment，or rather，we have made the environment fit our needs．

56．Humans can live where they want to because theyB．
A．have enough materials to build homes
B．can use what exists in nature to fit their needs
C．have plenty of food from plants and animals everywhere
D．can find a home easily
57．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？C
A．Animals had to fit their environment．
B．People who lived in the desert mainly ate meat．
C．Humans always had to follow the animals for food．
D．Environment was made to fit human needs．
58．The underlined part"mild temperatures"means it isD．
A．cold B．hot
C．sometimes cold and sometimes hot D．neither too cold nor too hot

A．Humans and Nature．
B．Animals and Environments．
C．Protecting Nature．
D．Humans and Animals．

5．Since ninety-eight percent of Hong Kong people are Chinese，half of them from Mainland China who know little English，there seems to be no valid reason why Chinese should not be one of the official languages of Hong Kong．
Generally，none-English speaking Chinese make out very well．It is mostly the courts that they experienced any great difficulty-Hong Kong's law and court proceedings are in English-because，apparently，not sufficient attention is given to translating laws and procedures into Chinese．
One other difficulty lies in the field of official communication-from Government offices．It seems no more than reasonable that such communications addressed to Chinese people should be in both Chinese and English．
The Chinese Language Committee has，in its four reports to Government，proposed that the Chinese language should have equal status with the English language in meetings of the Legislative Council，the Urban Council and Government Boards and Committees； in oral and written communications between Government and the public； in court-proceedings and the language of the law； and in the Hong Kong School Certificate of Education Examinations-all that by 1974 or 1975．
The key-word in the recommendation is status，as Judge T．L．Yang，Chairman of the Legal Sub-committee of the government-appointed Chinese Language Committee，pointed out．He is not happy with the term Fat Ting U Men which the Committee adopted to indicate the official status of the Chinese language．His Honor preferred Kun Fong U Men，meaning a language used by the government．
In other words，such official language，whether Chinese or English，need not necessarily be used in every instance．Consequently，situations may occur in which only Chinese is used by the government and，again，other communication situations in which only English is used．As one Chinese newspaper editorial pointed out，equal status does not necessarily mean equal use-whether in law or any other official communication．
The result of the Chinese Language Committee's four Reports seems to be that Chinese and English are now used in the Urban Council and the Legislative Council meetings and are likely to be used shortly in other circumstances prospected by that Committee．Let it be noted，however，that in Hong Kong，as everywhere else，new ideas take hold very slowly-unless pressure is exerted from some quarter or another．
For instance，after the demonstrations by post-secondary students in favor of Chinese as an official language，Government communicated with the public in both Chinese and English．However，when such communication appeared in writing，the Chinese translation was often so inadequate that the receivers，if they were able，read the English to understand the meaning of the Chinese．

74．According to the writer，Chinese should be made an official language becauseC．
A．most Hong Kong citizens have an adequate command of Chinese
B．some Hong Kong citizens find considerable difficulty in legal language
C．the population of Hong Kong is predominantly Chinese
D．the national pride of the Hong Kong Chinese urges them to demand it．
75．The main idea of the sixth paragraph is thatD．
A．equal status of English and Chinese means equal use
B．only Chinese should be used in official communication
C．both English and Chinese should be employed in all official communication
D．both English and Chinese or either language should be used as the situation demands
76．The phrase or word nearest in meaning to take hold in the seventh paragraph isD．
A．fasten upon the mind
B．grasp
C．are rejected
D．are accepted
77．The writer，in his conclusion，implies thatC．
A．the government will be forced to accept Chinese as an official language
B．good translators are definitely inadequate in Hong Kong
C．many difficulties will arise from translating English into Chinese
D．a person has to be bilingual （双语的） before he understands translations in Chinese．

6．One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world； however，governments，elected or otherwise，sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons．The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language．It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals．The term was brought to the United States，in the late nineteenth century，where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle，coal and oil，rubber and steel，and railroads．Some people called these tycoons"capitals of industry"and praised them for their contributions to U．S．wealth and international reputation．Others criticized them as cruel"robber barons"，who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth．
The early tycoons built successful businesses，often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition．A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly．Monopolies made a few families very wealthy，but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large．
As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast，local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts．A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees．Railroad trusts are an excellent example．Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes，setting rates as high as they desired．The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts．Farmers，for example，had no choice but to pay，as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers．Exorbitant （过高的） goods rates put some farmers out of business．
There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials．In 1890Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust．Act，legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts．The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues．First of all，it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade．It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines．
Over the next 60years or so，Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations．

25．The Sherman Antitrust ActB．
A．affected only the companies doing business within state lines
B．sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-place
C．promoted trade with a large number of nations
D．provides a financial advantage to the buyer
26．One might infer from this passage that lower pricesA．
A．are more likely to exist in a competitive market economy
B．usually can be found only in an economy based on monopolies
C．matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty level
D．are regulated by the government
27．It seems likely that many AmericansD．
A．believed that the trusts had little influence over government
B．expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poor
C．did little to build up American business
D．were worried that trusts might manipulate the government．

3．The Entropia Universe
The Entropia Universe is a virtual world on the Internet，which seems very like our real life．It is set in a distant future and based on a planet called Calypso．Entropia was the brainchild of a group of Swedish computer lovers who decided to see if they could create a three dimensional （维度的） virtual world that could be placed on the Internet．They did manage after they received the financial backing they needed．
The game can be played for free，but nearly all in-game activities require personal resources that you have available to use．Although there are various activities to keep you busy on Calypso，what most people do first is to find themselves a profession，such as hunting the fierce animals on Calypso，mining the precious minerals and making tools．Then they can think about buying their virtual house or paying a visit to a virtual nightclub or doing any of the other activities that make life bearable．
Entropia has its very own economy （经济） and its own currency，the PED （Project Entropia Dollars）．Players move real world money into PED which they then use to pay for their life on Calypso．However，the virtual things inside Entropia do have a real value in the outside world，and careful business deals mean that players can actually make real money there．PED can be changed into dollars any time at a rate of 10PED to 1US﹩．
What's so impressive about The Entropia Universe is the number of players； currently more than 600，000 representing over 220 countries from planet Earth．A number of players insist that it's a good way to make money．However，the reality of Entropia's economic system is that most people end up paying more than they earn and it's not uncommon to find players who are paying up to﹩200 a month into their PED account．This might not be the most economical way of spending one's free time．However，some people say that for them the fact that they can escape the realities of the earthbound life and become a different person with a completely different life for a few hours every week is worth the use of money，even if they don't get any interest rates on it．

63．What can we learn about The Entropia Universe？A
A．It costs nothing to join．
B．It focuses on business plans．
C．It is designed for computer lovers．
D．It presents what life is like on other planets．
64．What does Paragraph 2mainly talk about？A
A．What people do on Calypso．
B．When people buy houses there．
C．How people make life bearable．
D．Why people often find a job first．
65．According to the author，playing on The Entropia UniverseB．
A．may be very annoying
B．can be quite expensive
C．is a cheap way to kill time
D．is a good way to earn money
66．What can be inferred about The Entropia Universe？B
A．It is technical．
B．It is satisfying．
C．It is ridiculous．
D．It is educational．

10．A．Don't assume that the sticker price is the purchase price．
To get the lowest price，go in with a starting price that's based not on the sticker price but on how much the dealer paid for the vehicle．A reasonable price to start negotiations is either 4 to 8 percent over what the dealer paid or the CR Wholesale Price，depending on the demand for the model．
B．Do your homework．
Thoroughly research your choices．Read a variety of reviews．Check the reliability，safety，fuel economy，and pricing of any models you're considering．And don't wait until the day you plan to buy to test drive the vehicles．If you have a trade-in，know its approximate worth．That will depend on the vehicle's age，condition，mileage，and equipment，as well as where you trade it in．
C．Negotiate one thing at one time．
Make clear that you want the lowest possible mark-up over your starting price．Add that you intend to visit other dealerships selling the same vehicle and will buy from the dealer with the best price．Only after you've settled on the price should you discuss financing，leasing，or a trade-in，as necessary．Negotiate each item individually．Remember，you're in charge and can leave at any time．Heading for the door can sometimes jump-start a slow-moving negotiation or bring a lower offer．
D．Don't pay for extras you don't need．
Don't accept those unnecessary services and fees．If the items are on the bill of sale，put a line through them．Vehicle bodies are already coated to protect against rust．And CR reliability survey show that rust is not a major problem with modern cars．You can treat upholstery and apply paint protectant yourself with good off-the-shelf products．You can do your own VN etching with a kit that costs about $25．
E．Other costs．
In addition to the vehicle price，you need to consider other costs，including：Sales tax； Registration fees； Insurance premiums Taxes and registration fees can increase your out-of-pocket cost by as much as 10 percent or more，and driving a car that's worth more than your current one will cost more to insure．Be sure to check with your insurance agent or get insurance quotes online so you understand what you're getting into．
F．Arrange financing in advance．
Compare interest rates at several banks，credit unions，and loan organizations before checking the dealer's rates．If pre-approved for a loan（贷款），you can keep financial arrangements out of the negotiations．Automakers may offer attractive financing terms，but make sure you qualify for them．

请结合以上建议，与下面的情形进行匹配．
46．Many dealerships prey on the unprepared．Going into a showroom"cold"--without having gathered key facts and preliminary（初步的） pricing figures--gives the salesperson too much control over the buying process．B
47．The dealer invoice price is commonly available on Web sites and in pricing guides．But the invoice price isn't necessarily what the dealer paid．There are often behind-the-scenes bonuses（幕后红利），such as dealer incentives（奖励） and holdbacks，that give the dealer more profit margin（空间）．A
48．Salespeople like to mix financing，leasing，and trade-in negotiations together，often asking you to negotiate around a monthly payment figure．This tactic（策略） gives the dealer more latitude to offer you a favorable figure in one area while inflating（抬高）figures in another．C
49．The salesperson may try to sign you up for a higher interest rate than you could get elsewhere．F
50．Dealers often try to sellyou extras such as rust proofing，fabric protection，and paint protection or push etching your Vehicle Identification Number on windows to deter thieves．D．

20．As in the field of space travel，new technologies continue to appear in undersea exploration．They share a number of similarities with each other-as well as some important differences．
Manned submersibles （潜水器），like spaceships，must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment．While a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum space，a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in deep water．
In exploring space，unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts．In undersea exploration，on the other hand，men paved the way，and only recently have unmanned remote-operated vehicles （ROVs） been put to use．
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater．A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications，but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves．Thus，most undersea vehicles-particularly ROVs-operate at the end of long ropes．（电缆终端）
For a similar reason，knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space．A spaceship's position can be located by following its radio signal，or by using telescopes and radar．For an undersea vehicle，however，a special network of sonar （声纳系统）devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle's position．
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of respects，it has a distinct advantage：going to the ocean depths doesn't require the power necessary to escape Earth's gravity．Thus，it remains far less expensive．
64．The purpose of the passage isD
A．to persuade you to explore the depths of the ocean
B．to stress the importance of the undersea exploration
C．to make you believe that the undersea exploration is better
D．to tell some differences between two kinds of explorations
65．By saying"men paved the way"in Paragraph 2 the author means that in undersea explorationC．
A．unmanned vehicles were used in the beginning
B．men covered the ocean floor with stones and bricks
C．manned vehicles were employed before unmanned ones
D．men invented unmanned remote-operated vehicles in the past
66．The sonar devices must be placedC．
A．from time to time
B．after the undersea vehicles dive
C．before the undersea vehicles dive
D．when the undersea vehicles are diving
67．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．Submersibles usually break up in deep water．
B．Undersea vehicles can receive signals immediately．
C．Going to space needs power to escape the gravity．
D．Radio communications are quite difficult in a vacuum．

7．Life on Mars could become a reality and it could happen in your lifetime．
A welcoming planet
Scientists say Earth's neighbor Mars，a bright red planet about half Earth's size，is the most likely to support human life．Mars even has frozen water on its surface．
Since the late 1990s，NASA has been exploring Mars using remote-controlled vehicles（装置）．Most recently Curiosity，a car-size vehicle，traveled through space on an unpiloted spacecraft（航天器） and landed on Mars in August 2012．Directed by NASA scientists，the vehicles move on the surface，taking pictures，collecting and analyzing soil，and looking for signs of life．
But what about human explorers？Plans are already in the works to send astronauts to Mars as soon as the mid-2030s．
_____________________________________
But before you start packing your bags，let's consider the challenges．For starters，Mars is far away．Just getting there could take up to 10months．
Scientists already know that time away from Earth's gravity harms the human body．Bones and muscles get weaker．The body produces less blood．What damage would months and months of living in space do？
And then there is the matter of water，oxygen，food and fuel．Scientists will have to find solutions to these problems，or the first humans on Mars won't survive very long in their new home．
Tiny Dangers
There's another tinier risk．It's so tiny that you can't even see it：germs．
Some scientists believe that our germs could pollute the whole planet of Mars．Potentially killing Martian life before we have the chance to discover it．Worse，there is a small but terrifying chance that any microscopic life already there might be harmful to us．
Worse still，if any of those Martian germs（火星细菌） were brought back to Earth，the result could be disastrous．Animals，plants，and people could be wiped out．
Worth the？Amorepracticalconcernisthecost．Thepricecouldapproach 1trillion（万亿）．How can we justify spending that much when so many problems-poverty，disease-could use the cash here on Earth？

41．Which of the following is TRUE according to the"A welcoming planet"part？C
A．Mars is a little bigger than Earth．
B．There are flowing rivers on Mars．
C．People haven't been to Mars so far．
D．Scientists have discovered signs of life on Mars．
42．Which of the following can best fill in the blank in the passage？C
A．Living in space．      B．Limited resources．
C．Extreme conditions．   D．Interesting challenges．
43．By"Tiny dangers"the author meansD．
A．there is no serious danger
B．people won't be in any danger
C．it's difficult for people to realize the danger
D．the danger may be caused by very small things
44．Which may cause the biggest danger？B
A．Martian germs may be different from those on Earth．
B．Martian germs may be brought back to Earth．
C．People may carry germs to Mars．
D．There may be germs on Mars．
45．Which section of a newspaper is the passage most probably taken from？C
A．People        B．History        C．Science         D．Business．

4．A new age is coming．Call it what you will：the service economy，the information age，the knowledge society．It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work．Already we're partly there，the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World．Today the majority of jobs in America，Europe and Japan are in the service industry，and the number is on the rise．More women are in the work force than ever before．There are more part-time jobs．More people are self-employed．But the range of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone，because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself．Long-held ideas about jobs and careers，the skills needed to succeed，even the relation between individuals and employers-all these are being challenged．
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead．No one looking ahead 20years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention，the chip，would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers，digital communications and factory robots．Tomorrow's achievements in biotechnology，artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes．But one thing is certain：information and knowledge will become even more valid，and the people who possess it，whether they work in manufacturing or services，will have the advantage and produce the wealth．Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write．The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else．If you cast your mind ahead 10years，information service will be superior．It will be the way you do your job．

66．A characteristic of the new age mentioned in the passage is thatC．
A．the service industry mainly relies on females
B．manufacturing industries are steadily increasing
C．more people are in the service industry than before
D．the work in the service industry is more comfortable than that in manufacturing industry

A．we haven't paid enough attention to the importance of high technology
B．the chip is the most important invention today
C．the power of science and technology is beyond our imagination
D．it's a great challenge to apply new inventions to our life
69．We may draw a conclusion from the passage thatA．
A．information will play a greater role in people's work and daily life in the future
B．we can foresee the future if technology develops fast enough
C．the ability of performing routine tasks gives you an advantage in work
