5．Since ninety-eight percent of Hong Kong people are Chinese，half of them from Mainland China who know little English，there seems to be no valid reason why Chinese should not be one of the official languages of Hong Kong．
Generally，none-English speaking Chinese make out very well．It is mostly the courts that they experienced any great difficulty-Hong Kong's law and court proceedings are in English-because，apparently，not sufficient attention is given to translating laws and procedures into Chinese．
One other difficulty lies in the field of official communication-from Government offices．It seems no more than reasonable that such communications addressed to Chinese people should be in both Chinese and English．
The Chinese Language Committee has，in its four reports to Government，proposed that the Chinese language should have equal status with the English language in meetings of the Legislative Council，the Urban Council and Government Boards and Committees； in oral and written communications between Government and the public； in court-proceedings and the language of the law； and in the Hong Kong School Certificate of Education Examinations-all that by 1974 or 1975．
The key-word in the recommendation is status，as Judge T．L．Yang，Chairman of the Legal Sub-committee of the government-appointed Chinese Language Committee，pointed out．He is not happy with the term Fat Ting U Men which the Committee adopted to indicate the official status of the Chinese language．His Honor preferred Kun Fong U Men，meaning a language used by the government．
In other words，such official language，whether Chinese or English，need not necessarily be used in every instance．Consequently，situations may occur in which only Chinese is used by the government and，again，other communication situations in which only English is used．As one Chinese newspaper editorial pointed out，equal status does not necessarily mean equal use-whether in law or any other official communication．
The result of the Chinese Language Committee's four Reports seems to be that Chinese and English are now used in the Urban Council and the Legislative Council meetings and are likely to be used shortly in other circumstances prospected by that Committee．Let it be noted，however，that in Hong Kong，as everywhere else，new ideas take hold very slowly-unless pressure is exerted from some quarter or another．
For instance，after the demonstrations by post-secondary students in favor of Chinese as an official language，Government communicated with the public in both Chinese and English．However，when such communication appeared in writing，the Chinese translation was often so inadequate that the receivers，if they were able，read the English to understand the meaning of the Chinese．

74．According to the writer，Chinese should be made an official language becauseC．
A．most Hong Kong citizens have an adequate command of Chinese
B．some Hong Kong citizens find considerable difficulty in legal language
C．the population of Hong Kong is predominantly Chinese
D．the national pride of the Hong Kong Chinese urges them to demand it．
75．The main idea of the sixth paragraph is thatD．
A．equal status of English and Chinese means equal use
B．only Chinese should be used in official communication
C．both English and Chinese should be employed in all official communication
D．both English and Chinese or either language should be used as the situation demands
76．The phrase or word nearest in meaning to take hold in the seventh paragraph isD．
A．fasten upon the mind
B．grasp
C．are rejected
D．are accepted
77．The writer，in his conclusion，implies thatC．
A．the government will be forced to accept Chinese as an official language
B．good translators are definitely inadequate in Hong Kong
C．many difficulties will arise from translating English into Chinese
D．a person has to be bilingual （双语的） before he understands translations in Chinese．

12．A Dangerous Journey

On July 2，1937，Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left New Guinea for Howland Island in the Pacific．This was the longest and most dangerous part of their trip around the world．Earhart had trouble shortly after takeoff．The weather was stormy，so she had to fly at 3，000 meters （10，000 feet）．Going this high，the plane used gas quickly．
After about twenty hours，Earhart and Noonan approached Howland Island．The island was only about 105 kilometers （65 miles） away，but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it．Near Howland，a ship，the Itasca，was waiting．Earhart contacted the ship："Gas is low，"she said．The Itasca tried to maintain contact with her but got no response．Finally，the Itasca called for help．People searched for Earhart and Noonan for days．Despite the searchers'efforts，they found nothing．
Missing!
What happened to Amelia Earhart？No one knows for sure．During the flight，she probably headed in the wrong direction because the sun was bright and it was hard to see．So she got lost； soon after，her plane ran out of gas，and she died at sea．Another idea is that she survived the plane crash，swam to an uninhabited （无人居住的） island，and later died there．Still others think she survived the crash and secretly returned to the U．S．with a new identity．
Although the first theory seems most likely，none of these ideas has been proven．Today，people are still looking into Earhart's and Noonan's disappearance．（Noonan's body has also never been found．） Whatever happened，Amelia probably died as she wished．"When I go，"she said，"I'd like best to go in my plane．"

46．Why was flying to Howland Island difficult？D
A．Earhart was sick after takeoff．
B．The sun was too bright and shining．
C．Their plane was damaged．
D．It was very far from New Guinea．
47．Which statement would the writer most probably agree with？A
A．Amelia's plane probably ran out of gas and she died at sea．
B．It is possible that Fred Noonan killed Amelia Earhart．
C．Amelia Earhart probably died on an island in the Pacific．
D．Fred Noonan might still be alive today．
48．What does the underlined word"go"in the last paragraph mean？C
A．fly
B．leave
C．die
D．travel．

2．There will be no difficulty in the world that we cannot _________ as long as we have confidence and determination．（　　）

9．Hello，everyone．If s nice to speak about that we can do for our school，and I think small actions can make big difference．The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautifully．Every one of them may plant a tree in the school or to organize a thorough cleaning on the campus．We can also form a good habit of putting rubbishes into trashcans．Never forget to turn off the lights and close the doors．We should not leave the tap water run or waste any materials in the laboratory class．In that case，I believe we'll turn our school in a better place to study and live in．How I wish we can enjoy a better school life!
Thank you for listening!

6．One thinks of princes and presidents as some of the most powerful people in the world； however，governments，elected or otherwise，sometimes have had to struggle with the financial powerhouses called tycoons．The word tycoon is relatively new to the English language．It is Chinese in origin but was given as a title to some Japanese generals．The term was brought to the United States，in the late nineteenth century，where it eventually was used to refer to magnates who acquired immense fortunes from sugar and cattle，coal and oil，rubber and steel，and railroads．Some people called these tycoons"capitals of industry"and praised them for their contributions to U．S．wealth and international reputation．Others criticized them as cruel"robber barons"，who would stop at nothing in pursuit of personal wealth．
The early tycoons built successful businesses，often taking over smaller companies to eliminate competition．A single company that came to control an entire market was called a monopoly．Monopolies made a few families very wealthy，but they also placed a heavy financial burden on consumers and the economy at large．
As the country expanded and railroads linked the East Coast to the West Coast，local monopolies turned into national corporations called trusts．A trust is a group of companies that join together under the control of a board of trustees．Railroad trusts are an excellent example．Railroads were privately owned and operated and often monopolized various routes，setting rates as high as they desired．The financial burden this placed on passengers and businesses increased when railroads formed trusts．Farmers，for example，had no choice but to pay，as railroads were the only means they could use to get their grain to buyers．Exorbitant （过高的） goods rates put some farmers out of business．
There were even accusations that the trusts controlled government itself by buying votes and manipulating elected officials．In 1890Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust．Act，legislation aimed at breaking the power of such trusts．The Sherman Antitrust Act focused on two main issues．First of all，it made illegal any effort to interfere with the normal conduct of interstate trade．It also made it illegal to monopolize any part of business that operates across state lines．
Over the next 60years or so，Congress passed other antitrust laws in an effort to encourage competition and restrict the power of larger corporations．

25．The Sherman Antitrust ActB．
A．affected only the companies doing business within state lines
B．sought to eliminate monopolies in favor of competition in the market-place
C．promoted trade with a large number of nations
D．provides a financial advantage to the buyer
26．One might infer from this passage that lower pricesA．
A．are more likely to exist in a competitive market economy
B．usually can be found only in an economy based on monopolies
C．matter only to people who are poor and living below the poverty level
D．are regulated by the government
27．It seems likely that many AmericansD．
A．believed that the trusts had little influence over government
B．expected the wealthy magnates to share money with the poor
C．did little to build up American business
D．were worried that trusts might manipulate the government．

7．Life on Mars could become a reality and it could happen in your lifetime．
A welcoming planet
Scientists say Earth's neighbor Mars，a bright red planet about half Earth's size，is the most likely to support human life．Mars even has frozen water on its surface．
Since the late 1990s，NASA has been exploring Mars using remote-controlled vehicles（装置）．Most recently Curiosity，a car-size vehicle，traveled through space on an unpiloted spacecraft（航天器） and landed on Mars in August 2012．Directed by NASA scientists，the vehicles move on the surface，taking pictures，collecting and analyzing soil，and looking for signs of life．
But what about human explorers？Plans are already in the works to send astronauts to Mars as soon as the mid-2030s．
_____________________________________
But before you start packing your bags，let's consider the challenges．For starters，Mars is far away．Just getting there could take up to 10months．
Scientists already know that time away from Earth's gravity harms the human body．Bones and muscles get weaker．The body produces less blood．What damage would months and months of living in space do？
And then there is the matter of water，oxygen，food and fuel．Scientists will have to find solutions to these problems，or the first humans on Mars won't survive very long in their new home．
Tiny Dangers
There's another tinier risk．It's so tiny that you can't even see it：germs．
Some scientists believe that our germs could pollute the whole planet of Mars．Potentially killing Martian life before we have the chance to discover it．Worse，there is a small but terrifying chance that any microscopic life already there might be harmful to us．
Worse still，if any of those Martian germs（火星细菌） were brought back to Earth，the result could be disastrous．Animals，plants，and people could be wiped out．
Worth the？Amorepracticalconcernisthecost．Thepricecouldapproach 1trillion（万亿）．How can we justify spending that much when so many problems-poverty，disease-could use the cash here on Earth？
