Passage 5
Americans today have different eating habITs than in the past. There is a wide selection of food available. They have a broader knowledge of nutrITion, so they buy more fresh fruIT and vegetables than ever before. At the same time, Americans purchase increasing quantITies of sweets, snacks and sodas.
Statistics show that the way people live determines the way they eat. American life styles have changed. They now include growing numbers of people who live alone, single parents and children, and double-income families. These changing life styles are responsible for the increasing number of people who must rush meals or sometimes skip them altogether. Many Americans have less time than ever before to spent of all American homes now have microwave ovens. Moreover, Americans eat out nearly four times a week on the average.
IT is easy to study the amounts and kinds of food that people consume. The UnITed States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the food industry-growers, processors, marketers and restaurateurs compile sales statistics and keep accurate records. This in formation not only tells and tastes. Red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no longer an American favorITe. Instead, chickens, turkey, and fish have become more popular. Sales of these foods have greatly increased in recent years. This is probably a result of the awareness of the dangers of eating food which contains high levels of cholesterol, or animal fat. Doctors believe that cholesterol is a threat to human health.
According to a recent survey, Americans also change their eating patterns to meet the needs of different sITuations. They have certain ideas about which foods will increase their athletic abilITy, help them lose weight, make them alert for business meetings, or put them in the vegetables, which supply them wITh carbonhydrates, to give them strength for physical activITy, such as sports. Adults choose foods rich in fiber, such as bread and cereal, for breakfast, and salads for lunch to prepare them for business appointments. For romantic dinners, however, Americans choose shrimp and lobster. While many of these ideas are based on nutrITional facts, some are not. Americans awareness of nutrITion, along wITh their changing tastes and needs, leads them to consume a wide variety of foods-foods for health, for fun, and simply for good taste.
54. Americans have different eating habITs today chiefly because __________.
A. there are more shops and restaurants in the country .
B. a great number of families have microwave ovens.
C. their life styles are different now.
D. they are busier wITh their work than before.
55. People have reduced their eating of red meat for the sake of_______.
A. keeping healthy.
B. losing weight.
C. eating more other foods.
D. saving money.
56. Some people believe that eating salads ___________.
A. makes them physically strong.
B. keeps them alert for business meeting.
C. helps them lose weight.
D. makes them romantic.
57. Which of the following is TRUE according to thc passage?
A. American meats become rich and time-consuming.
B. Modern household machines have brought about a great revolution to Americans eating habIT.
C. Peoples eating patterns arc becoming more scientific.
D. People eat totally different things for different occasions.
58. Information about what and how much people eat can be obtained from _______.
A. every family B. restaurants only.
C. farmers only. D. several different sources.
Passage 6
Wind-generated power offers many advantages for an energy-hungry society becoming increasingly aware of the negative environmental effect of conventional electricITy-generating systems. In contrast to coal or oil-fired power stations in which the majorITy of Californias electricITy is produced, wind-powered stations have a minimal effect on the environment. They produce neITher carbon dioxide missions which add to the Greenhouse Effect nor do they contribute to the phenomenon of acid rain which kills thc lakes and forests where IT falls. Unlike nuclear plants, wind stations cannot become another Chernobyl.
Wind power, like solar, hydro-electric and tidal power, is infinITely renewable, non-polluting source of energy and is becoming increasingly important in satisfying thc states energy needs. However, if there is no wind, there will be no power. Even when the wind stations are sITed on the windiest hills there is no guarantee that the wind will blow 24 hours a day.
Until ways can be found to store generated power that can be used when the winds die down, wind power will remain a supplementary source of thc states energy. Present wind towers still require a minimum wind speed of around 25 kilometers per hour to generate commercially usable electricITy . IT is expected that improvements in thc technology will lower this speed and increase the efficiency of production. At present, however, high installation and running costs and low efficiency mean that wind power is not economically competITive wITh conventional fossil or nuclear stations.
Environmentalists are also concerned about the visual effect wind stations have on the landscape. In order to generate commercially usable quantITies of electricITy IT is necessary to install a large number of wind towers. In the Los Remos scheme there are 150 steel wind towers, each around 30 meters high, covering a total area of 80 hectares. They are silent and safe but ugly, making the beautiful Los Remos Range begin to look like Manhattan in miniature.
Harnessing the wind does offer a clean, renewable source of energy, but until technology increases the efficiency and reliabilITy of the system IT will not be able to replace conventional fossil fuel or nuclear powered stations .
59. IT seems that the chief advantage of wind powered stations lies in ________.
A. ITs non-polluting effects
B. ITs availabilITy at any time
C. ITs satisfaction of the states energy needs
D. ITs beautification effects
60 . Wind-powered stations would not be a solution to the states energy needs if _________.
A. they were not built on the windiest hills
B. ways to store the generated power were not found
C. they were used only for commercial purposes
D. ways were not found to increase the wind speed
61. The word supplementary in Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. chief B. addITional
C. satisfactory D. conventional
62 . The chief concern of the environmentalists about the wind powered stations is that _________.
A. they are affecting the natural sceneries badly
B. there is often no wind enough to drive them
C. they are not economically competITive wITh tradITional stations
D.they are not commercially renewable
63 . The anther seems to _________ the use of wind-powered stations.
A. oppose B. support
C. be neutral on D. be worried about
64. Wind power can be used as chief source of the states energy when ________.
A. the wind stations are sITed on the windiest hills
B. people find ways to store generated power
C. the wind will blow 24 hours a day
D. the winds dont die down
65. Compared wITh conventional fossil fuel or nuclear energy, wind power _________ .
A. is more costly B. produces more pollutants
C. is low in efficiency D. is ugly
Part IV Cloze Test
All of us can change our behavior to fIT different sITuations, we are (66), often noisy, at weddings and birthday celebrations, (67)at funerals, attentive at lectures, serious and (68)at religious services. Even the clothes we wear (69)these different occasions may vary. Our table manners are not the same at a picnic (70)in a restaurant or at a formal dinner party. When we speak wITh close friends, we are free to interrupt them and we will not be offend if they interrupt us. When we speak to employers, however, we are (71) to hear them out before saying anything ourselves, If we dont make such adjustments, we are likely to get accustomed into trouble. We may fail to (72)our purpose and we are almost sure to be considered ill-mannered or worse.
From one point of view, language is behavior. IT is part of the way we accomplish act. IT builds a bridge of communication (73)which society could not even wIThout exist. And like every other kind of behavior, IT must be adjusted to fIT different (74) or sITuations where IT is used.
Among people who are used to a wrITing system, there is one adjustment everyone makes. they speak one way and wrITe another way. Most speech is in tile form of ordinary conversation ,(75) speaker can stop and repeat themselves if they sense that they are being (76).They are constantly monIToring themselves as their message come (77)to the listeners. But wrITers cannot do this. They often monITor that they wrITe, of coarse, going back over their wrITing to see (78)IT is clear and unambiguous; but this is before the communication occurs, not while IT is happening.
Speakers can use intonation, stress, and pauses to help make their meaning (79). A simple sentence like John kept my pencil may, by a shift (80) the stress and intonation (81), single out through contrast whether John rather than someone else kept the pencil, or whether IT was a pencil or a pen or something else that is kept.
IT is true that wrITers have the (82)tools of various punctuation marks and sometimes typographical helps like capITals, ITalic letters, heavy type, and such the (83); but these do not quITe take the (84)of the full resources of the posITion spoken language.
As wrITers, they like a structure that is compact; as speakers, thinking(85), they produce sentences that are looser, less complex, perhaps even rather jumbled.
