　　Among all the changes resulting from the massive entry of women into the work force, the great change that has occurred in the women themselves is not the least important．They see themselves in a new light, for they have discovered that they can just do as well as men in any profession．Some of them have gone to the top：the chief economist of General Motors is a woman, and so is the president of the great filmmaking company 20th Century Fox．Such successes have given women pride and self confidence．Of course, the picture is not perfect．In the first place, a very large number of women do not even try to enter“male”professions because they lack the necessary training or because they are not brave enough to risk taking new paths．For one woman executive(执行官)or one woman judge there are still countless typists and saleswomen who struggle through their day without any sense of victory．Besides, many of their braver sisters, who are daring to compete with men in higher fields, find that male opposition is still strong, and that society is still ready to explain a woman’s success by reasons that women are now free to enter any career that attracts them．The situation has improved, and the tide is not likely to turn back．

　　Women have gained pride, self-confidence, and independence．Have they gained happiness?Each working woman would have to give her personal answer to that question．Many women are too exhausted(精疲力竭的)by their double career(home and office)to enjoy either one．Many feel guilty about leaving their children to the care of strangers, about ignoring all the small things that non-working homemakers do for their family and their house．For women, taking a profession involves sacrifice –-- they have to make a difficult choice．Perhaps, the real progress is that the choice exists．In their grandmothers’ time, it did not．

(1)

The word“picture”in the first paragraph means ________．
[　　]
A．	the photos of the contemporary women
B．	the present situation for women
C．	the story of women
D．	the massive entry for women

(2)

The first paragraph implies that ________．
[　　]
A．	many women are very successful in their professions
B．	women are equally as successful as men
C．	many women have come to the top leaderships
D．	only a small number of women are successful in their professions

(3)

The sentence“the tide is not likely to turn back”in the first paragraph means that ________．
[　　]
A．	the massive entry of women into the work force is certain to develop further
B．	women will have more chances to be promoted
C．	women have to go back to their house affairs
D．	men will still play the primary role in leadership

(4)

What is the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	The achievement women have made in their professions．
B．	The pride of women in their achievement．
C．	Women’s professions have changed a lot．
D．	The present social situation of women and problems they are faced with．

　　Ben

　　When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

　　Evn

　　I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

　　Ted

　　I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

　　Joan

　　I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂热)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

　　There are stock markets (股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.

　　Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.

　　Of course, investing(投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or a company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

　　No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling(赌博). All are eager to make money by“gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to“gamble”.Indeed, the stock market is an attractive part of the business world.

(1)If you are an investor, you ________ in the stock market.

[　　]

A．can always make money

C．the ABC of stock markets

D．investing money in the stock market is not the safest way

(3)Which of the following is not right?

[　　]

A．Going to the stock market is like gambling

B．The stock will always go up if a factory or company does a good job

C．People buy or sell stocks in the hope of making money

D．People who are not rich will probably become rich by buying or selling stocks

(4)Factories and companies are pleased that so many people“gamble”, because ________.

[　　]

A．they can make them rich

B．they need more people to work for them

　　Suppose we built a robot(机器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探测器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(进化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否认)that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢复功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．
[　　]
A．	the differences between robots and men
B．	the reason why men need to sleep
C．	about the need for robots to save power
D．	about the danger of men working at night

(2)

Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ________．
[　　]
A．	keep up a regular pattern of life
B．	prevent trouble that comes looking for him
C．	avoid danger and inefficient labour
D．	restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．
[　　]
A．	are worrying about our safety
B．	are overworked
C．	are in a tent
D．	are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．
[　　]
A．	need more time for restoration
B．	are unlikely to be attackers
C．	axe more active than homes when they are awake
D．	spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．
B．	The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．
C．	Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．
D．	The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

　　Many sports need the services of one or more referees(裁判).You will find, for example, referees in swimming, diving, competitions, football, skating, basketball, and tennis, among others .The referee’s judgment, no matter what the sport is, can make the difference between winning and losing．

　　When a decision is announced, one can often hear loud cheering from the spectators(观众).Sometimes the people don’t agree with the decision．Usually, however, no matter what the people think, the decision of the judge is final．With the instant(即时的)replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments .Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions?Some people think so .The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time．

　　In Japan, where sumo wrestling is thought by many to be the national sport, a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayama’s record of 69 victories .In the 46th match, Futabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestler’s foot leave the circle．

　　Soon after the mistake, the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $ 375 for a ringside seat .Now cameras record the actions of wrestlers .The camera is the most important referee of all .If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgment, the camera will correct it, and the instant replay will let everyone know it .The right winner will win．

　　Anti-bird flu contingency(意外事故)measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics(后勤)measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council’s Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month．Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong．

　　Speaking on a radio talk show this morning．Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering(屠宰)house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens．

　　He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally．If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice．

　　He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made．

　　Regarding avian flu vaccination(种痘)for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed．He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus．

　　He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help．He added there was no“boundary”for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak．

(1)

It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________．
[　　]
A．	the government is planning to take strong action to fight against bird flu
B．	an outbreak which happened near Hong Kong made people very frightened
C．	anti-bird flu contingency measures will come into use next month
D．	Dr York Chow will organize a meeting to discuss the contingency plan

(2)

According the final decision will be made mainly depends on ________
[　　]
A．	separate poultry form humans
B．	set up a central slaughtering house
C．	set up several regional slaughtering houses
D．	get avian flu vaccination

(3)

When the final decision will be made mainly depends on ________
[　　]
A．	the demand for live chickens
B．	the views of the public
C．	the advice from experts
D．	the time when regional slaughtering houses will be finished

(4)

Which of the following statements isn’t Dr York Chow’s opinion?
[　　]
A．	Hong Kong is better at dealing with viral outbreaks than its neighbours
B．	Infectious diseases could happen in any country
C．	Other territories should ask Hong Kong for help because it has more experience
D．	Cooperation is quite necessary when danger is coming
