(A)

China is a country with the largest population in the world. At present(现在),the population of China is growing faster and faster. But in the past, our country’s population developed slowly. It was recorded (记载) that in 1746 our population was only 200,000,000, in 1840 it was about 400,000,000 and in 1949 it became 540,000,000. After liberation, the population of our country developed quickly. In 1953, our population was 600,000,000. In 1969,it was 800,000,000. In 1985,it reached 1,000,000,000. On July 1st, 1990, it was reported that our country’s population was over 1 160,000,000. But now, it has already added to(增加) 1 200 000 000.The present population is two times (倍) as many as that in 1953. It adds to 660,000,000 more than that in 1949. By the end of the twentieth century, the number will be able to add to over a hundred million. At that time, the world’s population will be over 6,000,000,000.

Today the population problem may be the greatest one of the world. Man must make the earth support(养活)more people, but there won’t be enough space for everybody and

the earth can’t hold so many people. So we must do something to stop the population from growing quickly.

11.What was the population of our country in 1985? __________.

A. A hundred million B. A thousand billion C. A billion D. A million 12.How many times is the present population as many as that in 1953? It is___. A. 4 times B. 2.5 times C. 3 times D. 2 times 13.Which of the following isn’t true?

A. Now, our country’s population is 1,200,000,000.

B. The present population is three times as many as that in 1840. C. In 1985,our population was a billion.

D. Before liberation, our country’s population developed quickly. 14.By the end of the 20th century, our country’s population will be___. A. over 1,160,000,000 B. over 1,300,000,000 C. over 1,200,000,000 D. over 600,000,000

15.Why do we stop the population from growing quickly? ____. A. Because there isn’t much food on the earth. B. Because there won’t be enough space for everybody. C. Because there are no many houses to live in. D. Because there is no water to drink.

(B)

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language, when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly, with confidence and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to put sentences in paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.

There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings. We must learn by using the language. \"Learn through use\" is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September l666. In four days it destroyed more than three quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King’s baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and children, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into the small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometre of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St. Paul’s and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their house until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.

After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among them the new St. Paul’s.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past. 21.The fire began in___________.

106. When computers were first invented, they could be programmed only in their own machine language. As you know, translating numbers and letters into groups of 0’s and l’s can be extremely difficult. And imagine having to learn a new machine language for every different machine. So symbolic languages were devised (设计). Here, symbols represented characters, and the language could be used with several different models. Symbolic and machine languages are referred to as low–level languages since they’re close to what the computer can understand.
