Passage 1

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 a 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 worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In a developing 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.

6. A large population may mean _________.

A. higher productivity, but a lower average income

B. lower productivity, but a higher average income

C. higher productivity and a higher average income

D. lower productivity and a lower average income

答案：

8. In highly industrialized countries, unemployment may result from _________.

A. a decreasing birthrate            B. an increasing birthrate

C. a stable birthrate                D. a birth control program

9. What may the government of a developed country prefer?

A. A rapidly increasing population.

B. A rapidly decreasing population.

C. A slowly increasing population.

D. A slowly decreasing population.

答案：

解析：末段最后一句的意思。

10. Why is it difficult to carry out a worldwide birth control program?  

A. Because it will do harm to the national economy in most countries.

B. Because it will lead to complex social problems in developing countries.

C. Because people are unwilling to practice birth control.  

D. Because different governments have different opinions.

答案：

解析：末段第一句意思。

Passage 2

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents，which is the opposite of the popularly-held image (形象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (肯定的) today’s young people seem to be about their families，” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children，and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat (捣乱).”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I‘m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing， they’re fine with me.” Susan Crome， who is now 21， agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years， there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example，as long as I’d done all my homework， I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

　　Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments (评论)， “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”

11. What is the popular image of the teenagers in the past?

A. They worried about school.     

B. They disliked living with their parents.

C. They had to be locked in to avoid troubles.   

D. They quarrelled a lot with other family members.

答案：

解析：第一段最后一句话意思。

12. The study shows that teenagers don’t want to __________.

　　A. share family responsibility    B. cause trouble in their families

C. go boating with their family    D. make family decisions

答案：

解析：第二段表明了这种观点。

13. Compared with parents of 30 years ago， today’s parents _________.

A. go to clubs more often with their children    

B. are much stricter with their children

C. care less about their children’s life

答案：

解析：第二段表明了这种观点。

14. According to the writer，teenage rebellion __________.

A. may be a false belief       B. is common nowadays

Passage 3

Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.

It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.

Some daily loss of hair is normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40-50 scalp hairs each day.

Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.

This is not something that should cause great concern.

Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.

The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.

The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. There is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.

16. According to science, ______.

    A. hair loss is a normal, healthy sign

    B. man should pay special attention to hair loss
