Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Heroin addictions today is found chiefly among young men of minority groups in ghetto(犹太人区)areas.Of the more than 60,000 known addicts,more than half live in New York State.Most of them live in New York City.Recent figures show that more than half of the addicts are under 30 years of age.?

Narcotic addiction in the United States is not limted to heroin users.Some middle-aged and older people who take narcotic drugs regularly to relieve pain can also become addicted.So do some people who can get drugs easily,such as doctors,nurses,and pharmacists.Studies show that this type of addict has personality and emotional problems very similar to those of other regular narcotic users.?

Many addicts admit that getting a continued supply is the main object of their lives.An addict's concentration on getting drugs often prevents continuing an education or working at a job.His health is often poor.He may be sick one day from

the effects of withdrawal and sick the next day from an overdose.Statistics show that an addict's life span may be shortened by 15 to 20 years.The addict is usually in trouble with the family and almost always in trouble with the law.?

Some studies suggest that many of the known narcotic addicts had some trouble with the law before they became addicted.Once addicted,they may become even more involved with crime because it costs so much to support the heroin habit.?

Most authorities agree that the addict's involvement with crime is not a direct

effect of the drug itself.Turning to crime is usually the only way to get that much money.The addicts' crimes are nearly always thefts or other crimes against?property.?

Federal penalties for illegalnarcotics usage were established under the Harris

on Act of 1914.The Act provides that illegal possession of narcotics is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.Sentences can range from 2 to 10 years for the first offense,5 to 20 years for the second,and 10 to 20 years for further offenses.?

Illegal sale of narcotics can mean a fine of $20,000 and a sentence from 20 to

40 years for later offenses.A person who sells narcotics to someone under 18 is refused parole and probation,even for the first offense.If the drug is heroin,he

can be sentenced to life imprisonment or to death.

21. What is the topic of this passage??

• How to cure a drug addict.?

B.Heroin and narcotic.?

C. The harm of the drugs and the anti?drug measures taken by the government. ?

D.The American laws. ?

22. An addict cannot continue his eduction or work at a job,because of____?

A.his concentration on getting drugs?

B.his personality?

C.his emotional problems?

D.his stortage of money ?

23. According to the author,how can the addicts get the money for drugs??

A.Borrow from their families. B.By hard working.?

C.In an illegal way. D.The author doesn't mention it. ?

24. According to the author,who can get narcotic easily??

A.Government men. B.Medical workers.?

C.The minorities. D.The Jews. ?

25. A person who sell heroin to a kid can be?

• fined $20,000.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one

another.Three basic ways may be described as the market system,the administered

system and the traditional system.?

In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place.It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them.In a market,transactions may take place via barter or money exchange.In a barter economy,real goods such as automobiles,shoes,and pizzas are traded against each other.Obviously,finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task.Hence,the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably.In the modern market economy,goods and services are bought or sold for money.?

An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions.This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each goods and service should be produced,exchanged,and consumed by each economic

unit.Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy.The central plan,drawn up by the government,shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production,consumption,and exchange for the whole economy.?

In a traditional society,production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition:parentage,religion,and custom fix every person's place within the economic system.Transactions take place on the basis of tradition,too.People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons,provide them with food and shelter,care for their health, and provide for their education.Clearly,in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone,progress may be difficult to achieve.A stagnant society may result.

26. What is the main purpose of the passage??

A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems.?

B.To explain the science of economics.?

C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system.?

D.To compare barter and money?exchange markets. ?

27. In the second paragraph,the word "real" in "real goods" could best be replaced by which of the following??

29. According to the passage,who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system??

A.Individual B.Small businesses?

C.Major corporations D.The government ?

30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a criterion for

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

T[ornadoes,whirlwinds,and watersprouts are rotating funnel cloud air masses of small diameter.They are differentiated by the intensity of their rotation and by

the surfaces that they traverse.Though tornadoes and whirlwinds both travel over land masses,whirlwinds are atmospheric systems smaller than tornadoes.Water?sprouts are tornadoes that form or pass over a water surface.A tornado is a powerful vortex or "twister" whose rotational speeds are estimated to be near 300 miles per hour.The first visible indication of tornado development is usually a funnel cloud.As this funnel dips earthward,it becomes darker because of the debris

that is forced into its intensifying vortex.Some tornadoes give no visible warning until their destruction strikes the unsuspecting victim.Tornadoes often occur in groups,and several twisters sometimes descend from the same cloud base.The forward speed of a tornado is normally 30 to 40 miles per hour.In the short time that it takes to pass,a tornado can cause fantastic destruction.There have been cases reported in which blades of straw were embeded in fence posts.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Every day,thousands of managers,bankers,sales executives,lawyers,accountants,and

The pain of change is all around us.Corporations are rushing to cut costs and downsize before year end.They want to take their lumps in 1991,in preparation for a stronger recovery in 1992.That means an unusual powerful wave of lay?offs will sweep through the U.S. during the last quarter of 1991.Already,the drumbeat of bad news is growing louder.?

White?collar workers will join the growing ranks of once?secure employees who are finding themselves on the outside-alone,afraid,and angry.Who ?doesn ' t have a brother or a sister,a parent or a friend who has lost a job recently?The economic recovery will ease the pain,but it won't stop it.Forces of fierce global competition and industrial consolidation are compelling corporations to cut entire layers of middle managers and whole categories of professional staff.Few companies can hide from the intense pressure of international competition anymore.?
