Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population，inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population，Other economists have argued that large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways，which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them． One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources. It will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be．In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods．When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. 16. A small population may mean______． A. higher productivity，but a lower average income. B. lower productivity，but a higher average income C. lower productivity and a lower average income D. higher productivity and a higher average income 17. In a developed country，people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate_____． A. goes up B. goes down C. remains stable D. is out of control 18. According to the passage，a large population will provide a chance for developing______ A. transport system C. industry B. agriculture D. national economy 19 According to the passage，slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for______． A. a developing nation B. a developed nation C. every nation with a big population D. every nation with a small population 20. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because ________. A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development C. different governments have different views of the question D. even developed countries may have complex problems Passage Two Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: What are intelligence tests? How are they useful？ The score you make on an intelligence test is called your I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient). If your score is high，you have a high I. Q. Most intelligence tests contain questions that test chiefly two kinds of skills：skill with words，or verbal ability，and skill with 得分评卷人

Suppose you want to find out how bright an Eskimo child is．This particular child has never been to school．He cannot read or write，but he does know a great deal about spearing fish ．What kind of test could you give to test his intelligence，or mental ability？ If you think about this，you will understand that most standard intelligence tests cannot test everyone’s mental ability．Neither do they measure all kinds of mental ability．They are designed to test the mental abilities you use in school．That is why girls and boys who have “high I. Q. s” are quite likely to be those who get high grades． The results of an intelligence test are not final．A child may do poorly on such a test one year for many reasons．He may do better the next year. Children who do not score high on a test are not necessarily stupid. In fact，the people who are most creative，or talented，do not always get the highest scores on such tests． Intelligence tests can be very useful，however，as can other kinds of tests. All such tests help teachers see how they can best help the pupils. They show how a girl or boy is developing year by year． 21. This passage as a whole is about＿． A. intelligence quotient B. skill with words and numbers C. intelligence tests and their use D. stupid and bright children 22. Though not stated in the passage，you can conclude＿＿． A. children who score poorly on an intelligence test are hopeless B. intelligence tests help teachers to train students C. the Eskimo child mentioned in the passage may also get high grades if he goes to school D. intelligence tests can help bright pupils to study more efficiently 23. The word“they”in the last sentence of the last paragraph refers to_______. A. teachers B. pupils C. tests D. scores 24. Which one of the following statements is untrue? A. There are only two kinds of intelligence tests． B. Verbal ability refers to skill with words. C. It is hard to test the intelligence of an Eskimo boy who has never been to school. D. A student with a high I. Q. is likely to be a top student· 25. Can intelligence tests be designed to test the mental abilities of adults? A. Yes． B. No． C. Perhaps. D. Don't know. Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Laura walked towards the man. “It is terribly cold,” she said. “Colder than ever,” the man said. “Now tell me what the hell you want.” He stared at Laura for a few seconds, and then grinned. “Maybe you’d like to come inside and warm up.” “No. No，I don’t want to come in.” She took a deep breath. “I just wanted to know if you’re interested in selling your dog.” “That worthless mutt?” The man pointed to a dog in the yard and laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped. “I was just joking about the worthless part. He’s a pretty good dog. Yeah, I might be interested.” “Well, he’s the kind of dog I’m looking for, and it doesn’t look to me like you're too fond of him. I mean he's tied up outside. I don't see any food or water.” “You just wait a minute. I take good care of that dog. The guy I got him from said he was a trained guard dog. Trouble is the stupid thing doesn’t even bark when strangers come around. But then I guess that wouldn’t matter to you. You're probably just looking for a pet, huh?” “Yeah, well here’s your chance to get rid of him. I’11 give you twenty dollars.” He snorted（哼着鼻子说）．”You expect me to sell a purebred guard dog for twenty dollars? Fifty dollars. That’s my price. You bring me fifty dollars, honey, and you got yourself a dog.” The man smiled. “Sure you don't want to come in?” Laura shook her head. “I’11 be back with the money.” Breakfast forgotten, she searched for and found a cash machine four blocks away. I can’t afford this, she thought as she punched the numbers into the machine. The dog will need a vet（兽医） and where am I going to get the money for that? Her fears faded（消退）as she pictured the dog, curled up, not outside on the cold, hard ground, but in front of a glowing fireplace. Blue ceramic bowls filled with food and water sat in the corner of the kitchen, and she saw him, head held high, matching her stride on their daily walk. With the money in her purse she hurried back to the man’s house. 26. Why did Laura walk up to the man? A. To ask him where she could buy a pet. B. To see if she could buy his dog. C. To give him a morning greeting． D. To ask him to let her in and warm up
