    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的（A、B、C和D）四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Brazil has become one of the developing world's greatsuccesses at reducing population growth— but more by acci-dent than design．While countries such as India have madejoint efforts to reduce birth rates,Brazil has had better resultwithout really trying,says George Marfine at Harvard．

    　　Brazil's population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960．to 1.93% a year between1981 and 1990．and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen stillfurther since 1990．an achievemebt that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．

    　　Martine puts it down to,among other things,soap operas and instalment（分期付款）plans introduced in the 1970．s．Both played an important,although indirect,role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world's biggest produecrs of soap operas．Globo,Brazil's most popular television net-work．shows three hours of soaps six nights a week,while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters live the high life in big cities．

    　　“Although they have never really tried to work in a mes-sage towards the problems of reproduction（生育）,they describe middle and upper class values-not many children,different attitudes towards sex,women working,”says Martine．“They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and madepeople conscious of other patterns of hohaviour and other val-ues．which were put into a very attractive package．”

    　　Meanwhile,the instalment plans tried to encourage thepoor to become consumers（消费者）．“This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption wasincompatible（不能共存的）with unlimited reproduetion,”says Martine．

    　　BELIEVE it or not, the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration(就职典礼)is now a hotly debated topic．The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more．

    　　Polities of ties．

    　　It may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive．In the UK and many other coun－tries around the world, conservative(保守的)politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one．In America, the colors go the other way round．The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue．But in spite of this, bush wears blue ties more often than any other color．

    　　What they mean

    　　According to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle．com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance．“a guy who want to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red,” Haver says．Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties．But what about blue? According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color… Look at the sky．It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy．”

    　　Selecting the right tie for the right occasion．

    　　●Perfect job interview tie．

    　　Perhaps no other tie －wearing occasion is as important as the job interview．Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one．Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns．An excellent color is burgundy(深红色)or another serious color．Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity．

    　　Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors．A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone．Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs．

    　　●Date－night tie

    　　When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern．According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person．So what is the worst color to wear on a date? “Flattened caterpillar(毛虫)yellow－green,” according to Gilchrist, “it will repel both sexes equally．”

    (1)

    Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?

    [　　]

    A．

    Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies．

    B．

    Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion．

    C．

    Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office．

    D．

    Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama．

    (2)

    What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power．

    B．

    He was a Republican when he served as president．

    C．

    He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors．

    D．

    He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore．

    (3)

    The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to _________．

    [　　]

    A．

    prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degree

    B．

    show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties

    C．

    tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything

    D．

    explain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen

    (4)

    Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

    [　　]

    A．

    Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress．

    B．

    Do choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion．

    C．

    Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don’t match the atmosphere．

    D．

    The more colorful the tie is, the more likely you’ll get the job you want．

    Americans think that travel is good for you. Some even think it can help to solve one of the coun??try ’ s worst problems ~: crime (犯罪）.

    Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes is up and up. And many criminals (罪犯）are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.

    There are many young criminals in prison，but prison doesn ’ t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

    One man ,Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them grow into men. So Bob Burton started “Vision Quest. “ He takes young criminals on a long ,long journey with horses and wagons (马车）， 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.

    The young people in Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

    It's hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before  but they love their horses. That love can help them to live a new life.

    Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day be in prison again. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today, Americans still say, “ Go west, young men. ”

    In the last paragraph “leave crime behind them" means    .

    A. no longer do a crime B. leave people who do a crime

    C. don't do all the crimes       D. leave criminals behind

    Why is Bob Burton right?

    A .Because he can help to solve crime.

    B .Because three or four is better than six or seven.

    C .Because the young criminals have a hard life on the road.

    D .Because he can stop crime in the country.

    Form the passage we may infer that   .

    A .getting up before the sun rises can help out of crime

    B .we can hardly find a person who has no love for anybody or anything

    C .travelling can help all criminals out of prison

    D .young people can do anything freely

         On “ Vision Quest"   .

    A. young people have bad problems

    B .young people grow tall very fast

    C .young people often help their friends in time of danger

    D .all of the above

    Americans still say, "Go west, young men. ”because .

    A .if they go west they can have a travel

    B .in the west there is a prison

    C .there they have to live a hard life to grow into men

    D .prison doesn't change them
