本部分为l篇300～450词的短文，根据短文列出7个句子，有的句子提供的是正确信息，有的句子提供的是错误信息，有的句子的信息在短文中并未直接或间接提及。应试者根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。
The Boeing Corp. and Europe’s Airbus consortium are preparing to offer bigger airplanes to the world's airlines. Now that talks on a joint project have broken down, Boeing is pushing a stretched version of the 747, and Airbus is designing an all-new aircraft, known as the A3XX.
Seating 550 passengers in the basic model, and 650 in a stretched version, the 1.2 million pound A3XX will not only be the largest airplane in the world, but it will also be one of the most advanced. The outer wings and the horizontal stabilizer (as big as a smaller jet's wing) will be made of carbon-fiber composite materials, and will be the largest such structures on any aircraft except the B-2 stealth bomber. Metal skins will be welded together with lasers, removing thousands of fasteners.
When a strong wind strikes the A3XX’s 260-foot wing, movable control surfaces will prevent it from flexing like a giant spring. This will make the ride smoother and will save weight by reducing the load on the wing spars. A flexible-skinned flap will subtly change the wing’s curvature to match the airplane’s changing weight as it bums fuel on each journey.
The A3XX will carry up to 1,600 meals, filling more than 100 food and beverage carts. To make more room for passengers, Airbus plans to put the carts in the lower hold; automatic conveyors and elevators will deliver them to the two passenger decks. Airlines have asked Airbus to look at extra features ranging from lower-deck sleeper cabins to a children's playroom.
Airbus expects to offer the A3XX to airlines in 1998, and deliver the first aircraft in 2003.
词汇：consortium n. 财团 welded v.焊接
stretched a.拓展的 flap n.副翼
16. No fasteners will be used in building A3XX because all components will be welded together.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
17. Airbus plans to build a mini-restaurant in the lower hold of A3XX.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
18. A3XX will be bigger than the B-2 stealth bomber.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
19. The basic model of A3XX can carry more than 500 passengers.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
20. The wing of A3XX will not be spoiled when it is stricken by a strong wind because its surfaces are designed to be movable.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
21. A3XX will fly faster while consuming less oil.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
22. The first A3XX will be available in 2003.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
第三部分 概括大意与完成句子(第23～30题，每题1分，共8分)
本部分为1篇300~450词的短文，有两项测试任务：(1)短文后有6个段落小标题，应试者根据文章的内容为其中指定的4个段落各选择一个正确的小标题；(2)短文后有4个不完整的句子，应试者在所提供的6个选项中选择4个正确选项分别完成句子。
1. The term “drug abuse" most often refers to the use of a drug with such frequency that it causes physical of mental harm to the user or impairs social functioning. Although the term seems to imply that users abuse the drugs they take, in fact, it is themselves or others they abuse by using drugs.
2. Pharmacologists, who study the effects of drugs, classify psychoactive drugs according to what they do to those who take them. Drugs that speed up signals passing through the nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and produce alertness and arousal and, in higher doses, excitability, and inhibit fatigue and sleep, are called stimulants. Drugs that retard, slow down, or depress signals passing through the central nervous system and produce relaxation, a lowering of anxiety, and, at higher doses, drowsiness and sleep, are called depressants. One distinct kind of depressants are those which dull the mind’s perception of pain and in medicine are used as painkillers, or analgesics. These drugs called narcotics.
3. It is not always easy to determine exactly when simple drug use becomes abuse. Thus it is far easier to study who uses illegal psychoactive drugs than it is to study who abuses them. When researchers describe patterns of drug abuse, then, they usually describe the more general phenomenon of drug use, whether it leads to abuse or not.
4. Drinking on the job is a social and economic problem with a long history. With the growing popularity of illegal drugs in the 1960s and 1970s, it was to be expected that their use in the workplace would emerge as a major issue by the 1980s. Estimates of employee drug use vary greatly, ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent for the proportion of workers who use drugs occasionally on the job. The safe performance of some occupations-among them, airline pilot, air traffic.
5. From the 1920s until the 1960s, treatment of drug abuse in the United States was practically nonexistent. During this period many officials did not believe that treatment was effective or necessary. Drug abusers and sellers were simply arrested and imprisoned, thereby discouraging use. The dramatic explosion in the use and abuse of a wide range of different drugs during the 1960s demonstrated the weakness of this theory. As a result, two treatment programs were developed during the 1960s.
词汇：frequency n.①屡次,频繁②频率③周率 analgesia n.痛觉丧失
psychoactive a.心理治疗的 alertness n.机警,机敏
alert ①a.警觉的;机警的②灵活的,活跃的 narcotic n.安眠药；麻醉剂
23. Paragraph 1________________.
24. Paragraph 3________________.
25. Paragraph 4________________.
26. Paragraph 5________________.
27. Drugs that speed up___________.
A. Patterns of drug abuse
B. Treatment
C. Drug testing in the workplace
D. Classification of psychoactive drugs
E. Definition
28. Treatment of drug abuse in the United States was practically nonexistent from___________.
29. It is not always easy to___________.
30. Estimates of employee drug use very greatly, ranging from____________.
A. 10 percent to 25 percent for the proportion of workers who use drugs occasionally on the job
B. determine exactly when simple drug use becomes abuse
C. the 1920s until the 1960s
D. the 1960s until the 1970s

第四部分 阅读理解(31～45题，每题3分，共45分)
阅读三篇短文。每篇短文后面有五个问题，每个问题都有四个备选答案，应试者根据短文的内容从四个备选答案中选择一个最佳答案。
第一篇
Life in the Universe
Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe-life probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way.
As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist.
Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere; a larger one would hold too much of it.
Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify.
Finally, life could evolve only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away.
If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets; they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out.
This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found.However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets thatthis would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.
词汇：convince vt.说服，使信服 eliminate vt.削减，除去
31.Astronomers believe that matter in different parts of the universe________.
A. has different laws B. has one common law
C. shares the same laws D. shares no common law
32. The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT _______.
A. the right amount of atmosphere B. our own solar system
C. steady heat and light D. the right distance from the sun
33. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A. The planet must be as big and heavy as the earth.
B. Proper conditions are essential to the existence of life
C. Double stars can provide steady light and heat.
D. The distance between a planet and its sun should be right.
34. What kind of planet might NOT support life?
A. Most of the planets of the stars. B. Stars similar to our sun.
C. Planets similar to the earth. D. Planets with proper conditions.
35. At the end of the passage the author suggests that__________.
A. it is impossible for life to exist on planets
B. earthlike life could only exist on a few planets
C. life could exist on only one planet in a million
D. life could exist on a great number of planets
第二篇
Living Things
Certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them cope with their environment better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the evolution of more and more organisms that are better fitted to their environments.
Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own distinct class. A plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the sun's energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.
Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near.
Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function, and genetics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. An organism may create its won environment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.
词汇：adaptation n.适应，改装 surrounding n.(pl)环境，周围
36.Some plants and animals develop superior characteristics so that they may_______.
A.help others of their kind get food, shelter and other things needed.
B.survive even in extremely severe conditions
C.become better adapted to the environments than others of their kind.
D.result in the evolution and production of more intelligent organisms.
37. In the first paragraph, the word "environments" could best be replaced by________.
A. contexts B. surroundings C. neighbors D. enemies
38. It can be inferred from this passage that the feathers of a bird care colored________.
A. to frightened its enemies B. to attract its enemies
C. to adjust its body heat D. to match its environment
39. Which of the following is not directly mentioned?
A. A living thing may adapt in its structure.
B. An organism may adapt in its function.
C. A living creature may adapt in its genetic makeup.
D. A living organism may adapt in its sleeping habit.
40. The author cites the behavior of warm-blooded mammals in order to illustrate which of the following?
A.A living thing may have the ability to create-an environment of its own.
B.A living creature may have the ability to remain still when an enemy is near.
C.A living creature may have the ability to make food from its inorganic chemicals.
D.A living creature may have the ability to change the color of its skin.
第三篇
Over the years, and especially since the Second World War, the realm of landscape architecture has been diversified and its activities classified in response to the needs of a changing world. There nowappear to the three clearly definable related stages. First there is landscape planning and assessment. This has a strong ecological and natural science base and is concerned with the systematic evaluation or any likely future use. The process usually involves a team of specialists. It may result in a land use plan or policy, affecting, for example, the distribution and type of development or land use, the alignment of highways, the location of industrial plants, the conservation of water, soil, and amenity values, and the use of countryside for recreation. The study area usually coincides with a natural physiographic region such as the watershed of a major river or some other logical unit of land; unfortunately these seldom coincide with the legal jurisdiction of country and state boundaries. The planning function may at times be less comprehensive and concentrate on the impact of major proposals on the environment or the identification of land suitable for one major use such as recreation.
The second stage is site planning. This represents the more conventional kind of landscape architecture and within this realm lies landscape design. Site planning is the process in which the assessment of the site and the requirements of the program for the use of the site are brought together in creative synthesis. Elements and facilities are located on the land in functional relationships and in a manner fully responsive to the characteristics of the site and its region.
Finally, there is detailed landscape design. This is the selection of components, materials, and plants and their combination as solutions to limited and well-defined problems: paving, steps, fountains, and so forth. This is the process through which specific quality is given to the diagrammatic spaces and areas of the site plan.
词汇：diversified adj.形形色色的 coincide vi.同时发生，一致 detailed adj.详细的
41. With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A.The training required for landscape architects.
B.The history of landscape architecture.
C.The various aspects of landscape architecture.
D.The locations of landscape architects' work.
42. According to the passage, the first stage of landscape architecture is firmly grounded in______.
A. artistic principles B. history C. agricultural needs D. ecology
43. The word "it" in paragraph 1, sentences 6 refers to_______.
A. the future use B. the process C. a team D. a science base
44. The author mentions all of the following as possible goals of landscape assessment EXCEPT ________.
A. identifying land suitable for recreational uses
B. relocating boundaries of neighboring jurisdictions
C. deciding where highways should be built
D. establishing areas for industry
45.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible aspect of detailed landscape design?
A. Paving B. Soil. C. Plants. D. Fountains.

The Building of the Pyramids
The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. 46 There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “Step” pyramid and “Bent"pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. 47 These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
48 However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. 49 Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. 50 You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
词汇：scatter vt.使分散；vi.分散 suffer vt.遭受，容忍
A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made themless likely to fall into ruin.
B.It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of otherlarge works have fortunately been preserved.
C.he first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.
D.Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
E.Many people were killed while building the pyramids.
F.They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.
