A traffic policeman has tohelp keep the traffic moving, stop 26 motorists and help when there is an accident.

We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policem'a~, even if he is not a detective( 偵探),will often have to help 30 and arrest criminals.

The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it 34 well and I support them., but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could 35 do the job of a policeman.

IV. Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)

Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is
enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War 11, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as au-tomobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared:the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy good sand the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Con-sumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance,crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds ,we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good thing son the first four levels.

參考答案：C

Deep inside a mountain near Sweet water in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as theLost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The caveexpands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximatelyone mile from the erttrance, in a room called "the Council Room," many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads ,weapons, and jewelry.

In that year, a thirteen-year~-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.
Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.

根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答題：
Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".
Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aapects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to goto sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a tele-graph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (
形狀)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.
It was to Ma my of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned,in 1853,for information on this matter. In the 1840s ,Ma my had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(測水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid,but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition( 考察) ,which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea.Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
44The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on.
A.an academic aspectB.a military aspectC.a business aspectD.an international aspect
參考答案：C
45It was__________that asked Meary for help in oceanographic studies.

根據(jù)下面內(nèi)容，回答題：
It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn't wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent,and a tragedy avoided.
Days before this emergency ,the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.
Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well,is better than difficult information only partly learned.
Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero"for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.~ Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act auto-matically in case of emergency.
If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help,write Telephone For Help,Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
48Based on this passage, over-learning is good because __________ .
A.simple information is usedB.children should know their namesC.it helps children act automaticallyD.difficult information is only partly learned

參考答案：B

在第四段中提到“911”這個(gè)電話號碼，根據(jù)上下文推斷，可知這個(gè)號碼應(yīng)該是在緊急情況下?lián)艿奶柎a。
50One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is __________ .
A.call your neighborB.practice several timesC.teach children how to use the telephoneD.have children memorize some simple facts
參考答案：A
參考解析：
通讀全文可知文中未提call the neigh.bor這一項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，其他三項(xiàng)文中都有提及，故A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。
51What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Give instructions on calling for help.B.Partly-learned information is useless.C.Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D.Keep what children learn within their abilities.
參考答案：C
