Part I Reading Comprehension (40%) 
Directions: There are four passages in this Part. Each Passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Auswer Sheet with a single line through the center.  

Passage l 
Questions l to 5 are based on the following passage:  
　What will man be like in the future - in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.  
　Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.  
　Again, in the modem world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.  
　Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.  
　On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.  
　But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald.  
　Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at .This may well be true. All the same,in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.

Passage 2  
Questions 6 to 1O are based on the following passage:  
　People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial (人造)substances into the environment, or by releasing grealy increased amounts of a natural substance (物质), such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.  
　Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up there or four times in paekages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in termsof glass, metal and paper.Adverising has helped this process by persuading many of us no only to buy thing we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying,excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives.

Passage 3  
Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:  
　Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.  
　As time went on, hot san and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces, Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.to grow taller.  
　Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat.

Passage 4  
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:  
　Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use.They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is espcially useful.  
　Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character　as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils' time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team end not for himself On the football field, he　will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.

[C]the coordinated movements of our eyes, brain and muscles 
[D]a lot of practice before playing tennis

In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west this question is generally regarded as impolite.This is particularly true 71 women, and even more 72 if the inquirer (问者) is a man.  
　However, it is very 73 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind being asked 74 . In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 75 the age, especially if they feel they look young 76 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a 77 question like "How old are you?". If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment(恭维话) on how young they look, they may easily bring 78 the topic themselves and ask the other to 79 how old they  
are. 80 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 81 　They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, rather than 82 that they look very old.  
　 83 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 84 that they are not interested to know how old other people ate. They may ask 85 for the information, 86 they may try to 87 the topic indirectly, sometimes discussions about educational 88 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 89 , but this is not always the 90 . Of course, individuals also vary in what they are interested or willing to talk about.
