It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the mst of petrol and the quick pace
of modem life, but manners on the roads are beaoming horrible. Everybody knows
that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is aU vvy well, again,
to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver's seat is arnother
matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate
driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.
Perhaps the situation calls for a 'Be Kind to Other Drivers' ampaign, otherwise
it may get com- pletely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners,
but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed
and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected
to uncivilized be- havior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long
way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of
acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere
of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem tralfic conditions. But such
acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays
don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced
politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes
violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at solne hazard to following
traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man
who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles
that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies
to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always a- mazes me
that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
A veteran driver, whose mallners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists
leamt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing
the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists
can' t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship.
Years ago the experts warned us that the car-owrner-ship explo- sion would demand
a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us
to take this message to heart.
31 . According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by
A. people' s attitude towards the road-hog
B. the rhythm of modem life
C. the behavior of the driver
D. traffic conditions
32. The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog . . . the rule. "
(Para. I ) implies that
A. our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists
B. rude drivers can be met only occasionally
C. the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog
D. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists
33. By "good sense" , the writer means
A. the driver' s ability to understand and react reasonably
B. the driver' s prompt response to difficult and severe conditions
C. the driver' s tolerance of nlde or even savage behavior
D. the driver' s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations
34. Experts have long pointed out that in the faoe of car-owner-ship explosion,
A. road users should make more sacrifice
B. drlvers should be ready to yield to each other
C. drivers should have more communication among themselves
d. drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others
35. In the writer's opinion,
A. strict traffic regulations are badly needed
B. drivers should apply road politeness properly
C. rude drivers should be punished
D. drivers should avoid traffic jams

In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror--the glass
in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents
the heat from escaping. According to a weather expert' s prediction, the annosphere
will be 3C warmer in the year
2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present tate. If
this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus
raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also,
the increase in atmospheric emperature would lead to great changes in the climate
of the nonthern emisphere, possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief
food-growing zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth
has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has
a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention
to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degress of warming, in
other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the
next fifty years from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already dispappearing.
The evi- dence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits
the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures
seem to be falling. Scientists conclude , therefore, that up to now natural
influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is:
Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one research
station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots (that is, the
relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates, every 27. 5 days,
it presents hotter or "colder" faces to the earth, and different as-
pects to different parts of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect
on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on
wind circulation. The sun is also variable over a long term: its heat output
goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward. Scientists are
now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weather interactions and
the actual climate over many thousands of years, "including the last Ice
Age. The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be
entering a new Ice Age and it is not. One way of solving this theoretical difficulty
is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar ef- fects overcome
the inenia (惯性) of the earth's climate. If this is right, the warming effect
of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance to the sun's
diminishing heat .
36. It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
would
A. prevent the sun's rays from leeching the earth's surface
B. mean a warming up in the Arctic
C. account for great changes in the climate in the noHhem hemisphere
D. raise the temperature of the earth' s surface
37. The article was written to explain
A. the greenhouse effect
B. the solar effects on the earth
C. the models of solar-weather interactions
D. the causes affecting weather
38. Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northem hemisphere, temperatures
there seem to be faILing. This is
A. mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising
B. possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
C. exclusively due to the effect of the inenia of the earth' s climate
D. partly due to variations in the output of solar energy
39. On the basis of their models, scientists are of the opinion that
A. the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
B. it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to
take effect
C. the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
D. the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
40. If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct,
A. the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to bum more fuels
B. ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere
C. the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the
earth even
more quickly
D. the greenhouse effect oould work to the advantage of the earth

Some people believe that intemational sport creates goodwill between the nations
and that if countries play games together they will leam to live together. Others
say that the opposite is true :
that intemational contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding
8nd hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years
the Olympic games have done little to support the view that sports encourages
intenational brotherhood. Not only, was there the tragic incident involving
the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser inci- dents
caused incipally bv minor national contests. One country received its second-place
medals with visible indignation after the horkey ( 曲棍球 ) final. There had been
noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final
decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been
disallowed and that their opponents' victory was unfair. Their manager was in
a rage when he said : "This wasn' t hockey. Hockey and the Intenational
Hockey Federatior are finished. " The president of the Federation said
later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least
three years .
The Anlerican basketball team announced that they would not yield first place
to Russia, af- ter a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in
disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single
point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian
player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another
player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost
an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and
a half hours before an- nouncing that the result would stand. The American players
then voted not to receive the silver
medals . Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively
rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete
as individuals, or in non-national teams , might be too much to hope for. But
in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages
aggressive patriotism.
41. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have__
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. bred only false national pride
C. barely showed any intemational friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
42. What did the manager mean by saying, " . . . Hockey and the International
Hockey Federa-
tion are finished" ?
A. His team would no longer take part in international games.
B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D. The Federation should be dissolved.
43. The basketball example implied that
A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals
44 . The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show
A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games
B. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the games discourages intenrational friendship
D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games
45. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B. Athletes should oompete as individuak in the Olympic Games.
C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.

Intelligence' at best is an assumptive construct-the meaning
of the word has never been clear. (71 ) There is more agreement on the kinds
of behavior refeued to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify
them. But it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence is one who
can grasp ideas readily, make distinctions, reason logically, and make use of
verbal and mathematical symbols in solving problems. Art intelligence test is
a rough measure of a child's capacity for learning, particularly for learning
the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social
adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is
not supposed to-it was not designed for such purposes. (72) To criticise it
for such failure is roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer for not
measuring wind velocity .
The other thing we have to notice is that the assessment of the intelligence
of any subject is essentially a comparative affair.
(73) Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must
be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a 'valid'
or 'fair' comparison. It is here that some of the difficulties which interest
us begin. Any test performed involves at least three factors: the intention
to do one's best, the knowledge required for understanding what you have to
do, and the intellectual ability to do it. (74) The first two must be equal
for all who are being compared , if any comparison in terms of intelligence
is to be made. In school populations in our culture these assumptions can be
made fair and reasonable , and the value of intelligence testing has been proved
thoroughly. Its value lies, of course, in its providing a satisfactory basis
for prediction. No one is in the least interested in the marks a little child
gets on his test; what we are interested in is whether we can conclude from
his mark on the test that the child win do better or worse than other children
of his age at tasks which we think require 'general intelligence' .
(75) On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence,
but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the
test as the other with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished
by lack of relevant information which they possessed .
