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
    Most of  us car remember the days when we didn’t use e-mail as everyday vehicle for communication．Slowly but surely, it crept into our lives．E-mail is a valuable tool for American college students at any level．It’s available 24 hours a day，7 days a week and even at holidays．Most universities assign students an account upon entrance，so there is usually not even an option involved．
    You can do everything from consulting on homework and projects，keeping in touch with classmates，corresponding with families and friends，and getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events．But what are the disadvantages？
    E-mail can be e-jail．You might spend hours writing and responding to e-mails when you should devote yourself in the books for upcoming examination．Or，you might be signed up for so many daily services such as horoscopes，news services，or personals，that your mailbox is so filled up with“junk mail”，that finding the important e-mails through your mailbox might take hours．
    If you are a student，time is at a premium．Create and organize your e-mail folders into important school-related mail，correspondence with friends and family，and a mixed folder for jokes，horoscopes and other news services．Always put the mail into the appropriate folders first，and when you’re finished，head for the important school-related folder first．Respond to the most important e-mails first and，if you have time，you can get to the others．
    Discourage your friends from forwarding those tiresome joke lists，sex quizzes，and chain e-mail．The minute you realize you’ve got one，delete it immediately so you won’t be tempted to read it．
31．This passage is most likely to be written for________．
A．office clerks   B．college students   C．school teachers   D． news editors
32．In the passage，it is implied that most American college students________．
A．have to use e-mail 7 days a week

C．never write traditional letters
D．have at least 1 e-mail address
33．What is mainly discussed in the second paragraph?

C．The advantages of e-mail．         D．The problems with e-mail．
34．Sometimes，you have to spend hours finding the important e-mails from your mailbox，because_________．

C．your e-mail address may have been unavailable

第二篇
    The U.S. Department of Labor statistics indicate that there is an oversupply of college trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing．Already there is an overabundance of teachers，engineers，physicists，aerospace (航空宇航) experts，and other specialists．Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there．The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree．
    On the other hand，there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts：carpenters，electricians，mechanics，plumbers，TV repairmen．
    These people have more work than they can handle，and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates．The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true．The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen．
    The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future．A large segment of American society equates success in life with a college degree．Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school．High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life．Under this pressure the kids fall in line．Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter．Everybody should go to college，so of course they must go．And every year college enrollments go up and up，and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them．
    One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there．Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college，half of them do not graduate with their class．Many of them drop out within the first year．Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up．
36．What is implied in the。passage is that in the past_______。
A．blue-collar workers made a better living than white-collar workers
B．white-collar workers made a better living than blue-collar workers
C．blue-collar workers were looked down upon
D．white-collar workers were looked up to
37．Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?
A．Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education．
B．Many parents want their children to go to college．
C．High school teachers urge their students to go to college．
D．Every young man and woman wants to go to college．
38．The word“myth”(Sentence 1，Para．4) in the passage means_________．
A．truth    B．a false belief    C．a strong argument    D．mystic legend
39．By saying that“many people go to college who do not belong there”．the author means that __________．
A．many people who are not fit for college education go to college
B．many people who do not have adequate financial support go to college
C．many people who go to college drop out within the first year
D．many people who go to college have their hopes shattered
40．We can infer from the passage that the author believes that________________________．
A．every young man and woman should go to college
B．college education is a bad thing
C．people with a college education should receive higher pay
D．fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs

第三篇
                                                                                   Buying a Dog
    Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a happy addition to your family，but if you choose the wrong kind of dog，the consequences can cause you a lot of trouble．
    Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog．Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog，the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for．If you don’t know much about dogs，it’s a good ides to go to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs，as well as books about how to train a puppy．In reading about the different breeds，you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and bouncy．When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog，it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small apartment．Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by．One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd．This is because it provides protection as well as companionship．The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big，and may be too powerful for children to handle．If space is limited，a toy dog may be a good choice．These dogs are very small and easy to train．
    They don’t need to be walked daily，since they can exercise in the space available in the home．

41．What is the main topic of the talk？
A．The care and proper selection of dogs for family pets．
B．Different breeds of dogs．
C．Responsibility for seeing that dogs are properly cared for．
D．Different kinds of books about dogs．

C．BY buying a dog from a pet store．  D．By reading books about dogs．
44．According to the speaker，why is the German shepherd a popular dog?

                                                                                  Looking to the Future
    When a magazine for high-school students asked its readers what life would be like in twenty years，they said：Machines would be run by so1ar power．Buildings would rotate so they could follow the sun to take maximum advantage of its light and heat．Walls would“radiate light”and“change color with the push of a button．”Pills would replace food．School would be taught“by electrical impulse while we sleep．”Cars would have radar．Does this sound like the year 2000？Actually，  46   and the question was，“what will life be like in 1978？”
    The future is much too important to simply guess about，the way the high school students did，so experts are regularly asked to predict accurately．By carefully studying the present， skilled businessmen，scientists，and politicians are supposedly able to figure out in advance what will happen．But can they? One expert on cities wrote：  47  ，but would have space for farms and fields．People would travel to work in“airbuses”，1arge all-weather helicopters carrying up to 200 passengers．When a person left the airbus station he could drive a coin-operated car equipped with radar．The radar equipment of cars would make traffic accidents“almost unheard of”．Does that sound familiar? If the expert had been accurate it would．because he was writing in 1957．His subject was“The city of 1982”．
    If the professionals sometimes sound like high-school students，it’s probably because  48．But economic forecasting，or predicting what the economy will do，had been around for a long time．It should be accurate，and generally it is．But there have been some big mistakes in this field，too．In early 1929，most forecasters saw an excellent future for the stock market．In October of that year，  49  ，ruining thousands of investors who had put their faith in financial foresee．
    One forecaster knew that predictions about the future would always be subject to significant errors．In 1957，H．J．Rand of the Rand Corporation was asked about the year 2000，“0nly one thing is certain，”he answered．“Children born today  50  ．”

A．the stock market had its worst losses ever
B．will have reached the age of 43
C．the article was written in 1958
D．Cities of the future would not be crowded
E．the prediction of the future is generally accurate
F．future study is still a new field

                                                                                      Space Research
    Does walking on the moon make life better for people on earth?  51  all the problems of our own world，why should we be spending huge   52   on trips to outer space? Such questions as these are often asked，especially    53    those whose tax money is paying for space explorations．The answers to these questions are many and    54  ．
    Up to now，the practical benefits resulting  55  space research have included the development of new methods and skills，new processes，new services，new products，and even new companies created to make use of what  56  through space travel．Also among the benefits   57 better education (especially in scientific subjects)，  58  management，higher quality of industrial products，and rapid  59  growth．People all over the world are now served by 60  weather predictions，better communication systems，and better understanding of the earth and its environment．Everyone will benefit  61  observations from space make  62  possible to measure the earth’s resources and  63  whether or not they are being used properly．  64  the space program will help our world deal with the problems of the environment．It has already brought a new appreciation of the complex system  65  man is only a part．
    In addition to improving the quality of existing products，the space program has been responsible for the development and improvement of new ones．The most important is the computer．To bring the endangered Apollo 13 astronauts home safely in 1970，a new flight plan had to be made taking account of an unbelievably complex combination of elements．The computer accomplished this task in seventy-two minutes，whereas a man or a woman working with pencil and paper take more than a million years! If there had been no space program，it is doubtful that computers would now be so widely used in industry and government．
