I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
“ Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”
“ Son, hold on,” he said.
“ No, you can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”
“ Wait, let me tell you…”
“ Would you like me to throw it away from you?” I asked.
“ Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”
When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don’t get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.

Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.

What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man — by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.

Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going — and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.

1. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because ______.

A. the population of the world is decreasing fast

B. people use too many man-made materials

C. we have more and more industry

D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses

2. People crowd into the cities because ______.

　 A. they want very much to find well-paid jobs

　 B. they are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our society

C. they have become tired of their homeland

D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers

3.According to the passage, what does man value most?

A. Industry. B. Health.

C. Clean air. D. The future of the children.

4.The story about the airline pilot tells us that ______.

A. man knows where the society is going

B. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society

C. man can do little about the problem of pollution

D. the writer is worried about the future of our society

5.What does the writer really want to say in this passage?

A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.

B. Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.

C. It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.

D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

PART FOUR WRITING (45 points)

SECTIONＡ (10 points)

Direction: Reading the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks with no more than three words for each answer that best fits the passage.

Why must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example, to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money.

One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income, whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money directly to the government.

Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewelry, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country. Such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are late sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeepers.

People usually complain about(抱怨) having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we can’t have an army without paying for it. Besides, if a country wants to develop, there are many other things to do.

Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our food and clothes and pay for our amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that is necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real reason to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.

Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives，we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example，we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian，whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman，whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader，and so on.

The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter， and change throughout life. Most of us can， at very high speed， assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others，most of us perform it rather effortlessly.

A status has been compared to readymade clothes. Within certain limits， the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore， our choice is limited to a size that will fit， as well as by our pocketbook . Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made， but apart from minor adjustments， we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made， and the range of choice among them is limited.

51. In the first paragraph，the writer tells us that statuses can help us ______.

A. determine whether a person is fit for a certain job

B. behave appropriately in relation to other people

C. protect ourselves in unfamiliar situations

D. make friends with other people

52. According to the writer，people often assume different statuses ______.

A. in order to identify themselves with others

B. in order to better identify others

C. as their mental processes change

D. as the situation changes

53. The underlined word "appraisal"(Para.2) most probably means "______".

A. involvement B. appreciation C. judgment D. presentation

54. In the last sentence of the second paragraph， the pronoun "it" refers to "______".

A. fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately

B. identification of other people’s statuses

C. selecting one’s own statuses

D. constant mental process

55. By saying that "an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince" (Para.3)， the writer means _______.

A. different people have different styles of clothes

B. readymade clothes may need alterations

C. statuses come ready made just like clothes

D. our choice of statuses is limited
