第2题：Dalton wondered why the heavier and lighter gases in the atmosphere did not separate as oil and water do. He finally concluded that the constituent (61) must exist in the form of tiny particles or atoms and that these (62) be completely mixed together in the atmosphere. This threw a new light in (63) law of definite proportions. It was only necessary to suppose that the atoms (64) combine into small groups of uniform (65) and so form more complex substance; (66) the mystery of this law was (67) .Dalton suggested, for example, that carbon monoxide (68) formed by the one with one (69) of atoms of carbon and oxygen, (70) carbon dioxide results from a single (71) of carbon uniting with two atoms of oxygen.Assuming this to be true, (72) the definite proportions of Prout’s law (73) all chemical compounds the different constituents (74) enter in unvarying proportions would naturally (75) the relative weights of the many different kinds of atoms.

第3题： A、person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A、child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate of his ability. Older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A、person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. AlfredAdler, a famous doctor, had and experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetiC、His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn’t it too bad thatAlfred can’t do arithmetic " He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expecte D、 One dayAdler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he coul D、His new found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetiC、 This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one’s ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it the result of lack ability. Which of the following is the most important factor toAdler’s success A、Spirit and experience. B．Interest. Confidence and determination. D、Purpose and knowledg

第4题：One of the most widely discussed subjects these days is energy crisis.Automobile drivers cannot get gasoline; homeowners may not get enough heating oil; factories are (56) by a fuel shortage. The crisis has (57) questions about the large oil companies and windfall (58) .Critics of the oil industry charge that the major companies are getting richer because of the oil shortage. Shortage, of course, drives prices up.As oil prices rise, the critics say, the oil companies will make more money (windfall profits) without doing a thing to (59) the extra cash. "Windfall" profits are sudden unearned profits-profits made (60) luck, or some special turn of events. The word itself tells what "windfall" means-- something blown down by the wind, such as trees, or fruit (61) from trees.But the word has taken on a special meaning. This meaning (getting something unearned) was first used in medievalEnglanD、 This is (62) it started: at that time much of the land was in the hands of (63) barons. The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates. They planted the seed, cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming.Every baron kept a large private forest for (64) deer and wild bear. When hungry, the people sometimes would kill the animals in the lord’s forest for fooD、And there were times (65) they might cut down trees for fuel. So, strong laws were passed to protect the forests, and the animals. Violations were severely (66) . But there was one way people could get wood from the forest. If they found trees blown down by the wind ("windfall") they were free to take them for use as fuel in their homes.And that is the meaning that has come down to us-something good gotten by luck or (67) . The common people of oldEngland, often hungry and cold, must often have prayed for a good strong winD、Critics today (68) that the oil industry has also been praying for something just like it -some political or military (69) that might produce a windfall-- a rise in oil prices and profits. The oil companies deny that this is so. InCongress, critics of the oil companies have proposed a (70) on such profits. The debate on rising oil price will go on for some time, and most likely we will hear more and more about windfall profits. A、limit B．plan C．minimum D．regulations

第5题： A、recent report on population trend conducted by the think (1) of the World watch Institute identifies signs of slowing growth in some countries. It says populations in 32 countries—all in the industrialized world—have stabilized because of declining birthrates.But in a handful of developing countries where population is slowing, the cause isn’t something to (2) , because more people are dying. This trend is called "population fatigue", and it’s beginning in many of the developing countries that have experienced (3) birthrates and sharp population growth for several decades. Governments in these countries are now having trouble dealing with feeding, housing and educating an increasing number of children, (4) at the same time confronting the falling water (5) , deforestation and soil erosion that rapid population growth brings. In these countries any new threat—infectious disease, drought or famine—can become a (6) crisis. AIDS is a case (7) . WHO estimates calculate that one-quarter of the adult population of Zimbabwe andBotswana are infected with theAIDS virus, (8) , these countries stands to lose at least one-quarter of their labor force in the next decade fromAIDS alone, a situation (9) since the yellow fever swept throughEurope in the 14’h century. Social unrest is also increasing in these countries. One example is the (10) conflict between the Tutsis and the Hutus in Rwanda, where population pressures reduced cropland (11) where it could no longer feed those who lived on it.Demands on the world fisheries and shared water resources are likely to spark similar conflicts.Already the waters of the Nile are so heavily used that little reaches the Mediterranean, so any increase in demand or (12) in allocation will also increase tensions. The bottom line is that human population growth is (13) to slow one way or the other.Developing societies will either recognize problems (14) the horizon and act to encourage smaller families — or unchecked births will have their (15) in rising death rates.
