第27、28、29、30题：Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows. 
    　　That's a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. 
    　　Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host(主持人)is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about .Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知).Then the host has to answer and explain-how silly this is !It wastes a lot of time . 
    　　It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don't care what the topic is , whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be. 
    　　I'm totally bored(厌烦)by those people . It's necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion,  if a caller doesn't know what is going on,  the operator should not let the caller take part in it. 
    52. The sentence, "Some people do nothing but break the whole programme." may tell us that ______. 
    A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact

    A. for the host works hard B. because of the caller's ignorance

    A. that some listeners phone the hotlines in fun 
    B. that some people just want to be heard by others 
    C. that some people who don't care what the topic is must have realized that they appear to be silly 
    D. what the hotline programmes are 
    55. Which of the following is not true? 
    A. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. 
    B. Some people do not know what the host is talking about 
    C. Some people do not know what the show is about

第31、32、33、34题：One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people. 
    The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty----metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man --- made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water. 
    People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane. 
    43. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea? 
    Ａ．The city was to be designed together with a harbor. 
    Ｂ．The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass. 
    Ｃ．The building of the city would rest on a floating island. 
    Ｄ．The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.

    Ａ．By treating sea water. 
    Ｂ．By getting it from the surrounding islands. 
    Ｃ．By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city. 
    Ｄ．By transporting it from the mainland. 
    45. The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______. 
    Ａ．there is not enough space for building cites on land 
    Ｂ．land transportation has became increasingly difficult 
    Ｃ．there are too many people on land 
    Ｄ．present cities are heavily polluted by cars 
    46. the purpose of the writer is-_______.
