or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the
Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage One Questions 11 to 15 are
based on the following passage.People living on part of the south coast of England face
a serious problem.In 1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered,
to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight.The sea had eatensintosthe
soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built.While experts were studying the
problem.the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether,sliding down the cliff and
sintosthe sea.Erosion(侵蝕)of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has
become more serious in recent years.Dozens
of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland.
Experts
have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people,
forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their
homes.Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases ,this is impossible .
New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the
waves and currents go further along the coast ,shifting the problem from one area to
another.The danger is likely to continue ,they say ,until the waves reach an inland area
of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is .Meanwhile,if you want to buy a
cheap house with an uncertain future,apply to a house agent in one of the threatened
areas on the south coast of England.You can get a house for a knockdown price but it
may turn out to be a knockdown home.]

Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging.
Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can
create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(運(yùn)動(dòng)員). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated
that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of
an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical
years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is oneswheresvaluable experiences
can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others,
make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout& nbsp;their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback
to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’
and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport
participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not
be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons.
In today's youth sport setting. Young athletes may be worrying more about who will
win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and
coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive
reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that
positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.
Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, Which can lead to burnout.

themselvesC) it can provide them with valuable experiencesD) it teaches them how to
set realistic goals for themselves

A) believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

19. According to the passage parents and coaches should .

C) to& nbsp;stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children
D) to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementPassage
ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worldwide. Yet occurrences of
shortages and droughts (干旱) are causing famine and distress in some areas, and industrial and agricultural
by-products are polluting water supplies. Since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 50 years, many experts think we are on
the edge of a widespread water crisis.But that doesn't have to be the outcome. Water
shortages do not have to trouble the world—if we start valuing water more than we have in the past. Just as we began to appreciate
petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises, today we must start looking at water from
a fresh economic perspective. We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free
resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.Instead, for all
uses except the domestic demand of the poor, governments should price&n bsp;water to reflect its actual value. This means charging a fee for the water itself as
well as for the supply costs.Governments should also protect this resource by providing
water in more economically and environmentally sound ways. For example, often the
cheapest way to provide irrigation(灌溉)water in the dry tropics is through small-scale projects, such as gathering rainfall in depressions(凹地) and pumping it to nearby cropland.No matter what steps governments take to
provide water more efficiently, they must change their institutional and legal approaches
to water use. Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local,
regional, and national agencies that watch various aspects of water use, countries should
set up central authorities to coordinate water policy.
21. What is the real cause of the patential water crisis.
A) Only harf of the world’s warter can be used.
B) The world population is inereasing faster and faster.
C) Half of the world’s water resources have been seriously polluted.
D) Humanity has not placed officient value on water resources.
22. As indicated in th e passage, the water problem .
A) is already serious in certain parts of the world.
B) Has been exaggerated by some experts in the field
C) Poses a challenge to the technology of building reservoirs
D) Is underestimated by government organizations at different levels
23. According to the author, the water price should .
A) be reduced to the minimumB) stimulate domestic demand
C) correspond to its real valueD) takesintosaccount the occurrences of droughts
24. The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to .
A) build big lakes to store waterB) construct big pumping stations
C) build small and cheap irrigation systems
D) channel water from nearby rivers to cropland
25. Insgroupsto raise the efficiency of the water supply, measures should be taken to .
A) guarantee full protection of the environment
B) centralize the management of water resources
C) increase the sense of responsibility of agencies at all levels
D) encourage local and regional of water resources
Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When
it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular”coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one
point, though, Instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were
introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand
and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales wentsintosa slight decline (衰退)when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).The importance of the product life cycle
to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies.
The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is
called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and
market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students
carry today were originally designed for the military?Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers
or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.Another product extension
strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features,
or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto
manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets.
Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to
year to keep demand from falling.
