Step Back in Time
Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?Onehundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45. But now,she can live until at least 80.
One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after our-selves better. We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our
bodies get all the healthy things they need. We know why we sometimes get ill and what to dotoget better again. And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our heartsbeating healthily.
But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits. let's have a look at what life was like100 years ago.
Families had between l5 and 20 children, although many babies didn't live long. Childrensuffered from lots of diseases, especially rickets（(佝偻病） and scurvy（坏血病） , which areboth caused by bad diets. This is because many families were very poor and not able to: feedtheir children well.
Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often sleptstanding up, bending over a piece of string, because there was no room for them to lie down.
People didn't have fridges until the l920s. They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills（窗台板）, blocks of ice, or even burying it in the garden.
Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their parents. If you had lived l00 years ago, you might well be selling matchsticks（火柴杆）（a jobdone by many children）or working with your dad by now.
16on average women lived longer than men l00 years ago.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 People now enjoy longer lives for unknown reasons.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 A hundred years ago many kids died at an early age.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
19 Poor diets can lead to such diseases as rickets and scurvy.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
20 People in the past preferred standing up to lying down when sleeping.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
21 An Englishman invented the fridge in the l920s.

22 Life was not easy for many children living 100 years ago.

Transport and Trade
1 Transport is one of the aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentifulto places where-they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can bebrought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. Whenthere were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on asmall scale.
2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompaniedby a big increase in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between. Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production andbig business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factoriescould not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and fromtheir homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily fromthe suburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.
3 Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports wouldbe wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given US a much greater, variety offoods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living.
4 By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, as, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.
5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio,send information about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.

第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每题背面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其背面旳问题，从4个选项中选择l个最佳答案涂在答题卡对应旳位置上。
第一篇Harmless Revenge
Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. Thepurpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about somethingthat they are doing to you. Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers, gossiping friends, or nagging family members.
Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for
work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra early one day. Beforethesun comes up, drive to each coworker's house. Reach under the hood of your coworker'scar and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. Ifyou're lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want toget is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl won’t know what's going on, and the victimwill be so embarrassed that he probably won't leave his home for a month.
When Morn and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likelyplace. Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait about fiveminutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your handand begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell, "Bugs!" They dump their food in the disposal, jump into the car，and head for McDonald's. Thatnight, you'll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The object is simply to let otherpeople know that they are beginning to bother you.
31According to the passage, a harmless revenge is ________.
A to amuse the victim
B to react to those who bother you
C to prevent one from disturbing others
D to hurt nobody emotionally
32 As a harmless revenge, you might come first and get a raise by ________.
A making your colleagues come late
B getting up earlier than your colleagues
C destroying your colleagues' cars
D pleasing your boss
33 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the second example? ________.
A The girl received a phony message.
B The victim was invited by the girl.
C The girl managed to revenge the victim harmlessly.
D The girl wasn't expecting the victim.
34 The family members dumped their food in the disposal because ________.
A they thought their food had been spoiled
B they wanted to eat out
C they wanted to have a peaceful meal
D they didn't like the food with raisins
35 The main topic of the passage is how to ________.
A avoid nagging familymembers
B silence gossiping friends
C make a harmless revenge
D deal with bothersome coworkers
第二篇The Only Way Is Up
Think of a modem city and the first image that come to mind is the skyline. It is full of great buildings, pointing like fingers to heaven. It is true that some cities don't permit buildings to go above a certain height. But these are cities concerned with the past. The first thing any city does when it wants to tell the world that it has arrived is to build skyscrapers.
When people gather together in cities, they create a demand for land. Since cities are places where money is made, that demand can be met. And the best way to make money out of city land is to put as many people as possible in a space that covers the smallest amount of ground. That means building upwards.
The technology existed to do this as early as the 19th century. But the height of buildings was limited by one important factor. They had to be small enough for people on the top floors to climb stairs. People could not be expected to climb a mountain at the end of their journey to work, or home.
Elisha Otis, a US inventor, was the man who brought us the lift-or elevator, as he preferred to call it. However, most of the technology is very old. Lifts work using the same pulley system the Egyptians used to create the Pyramids. What Otis did was attach the system to a steam engine and develop the elevator brake, which stops the lift falling if the cords that hold it up are broken. It was this that did the most to gain public confidence in the new invention. In fact, he spent a number of years exhibiting lifts at fairgrounds, giving people the chance to trythem out before selling the idea to architects and builders.
A lift would not be a very good theme park attraction now. Going in a lift is such an everyday thing that it would just be boring. Yet psychologists and others who study human behavior find lifts fascinating. The reason is simple. Scientists have always studied animals in zoos. The nearest they can get to that with humans is in observing them in lifts.
"It breaks all the usual conventions about the bubble of personal space we carry around with us -- and you just can't choose to move away," says workplace psychologist, Gary Fitzgibbon. Being trapped in this setting can create different types of tensions, he says. Some people are scared of them. Others use them as an opportunity to get close to the boss. Some stand close to the door. Others hide in the comers. Most people try and shrink into the background. But some behave in a way that makes others notice them. There are a few people who just stand in a comer taking notes.
Don't worry about them. They are probably from a university.
36. "...these are cities concerned with the past" in the first paragraph refer to cities that
A) are worried about their past.
B) have a glorious past to be proud of.
C) want to maintain their traditional image.
D) are very interested in their own history.
37. The difficulty in constructing tall buildings in the 19th century lies in
A) the shortage of money.
B) the lack of a device to carry people upward.
C) backward technology.
D) mountains taking up land space.
38. When Otis came up with th
