Passage 1 B. Why not letting D. Why you not to let Advertising follows us everywhere. Whenever we turn on the television,
listen to the radio or open a newspaper
or magazine, we are bombarded with
advertisements. They invite us to try a new type of orange juice, wear X-brand
jeans or watch the latest film. They beg
us to notice the difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us
want what they are selling. Strangely, the more we are exposed to advertising, the less we notice it. We
get so used to seeing advertisements everywhere that they become largely
invisible, as if they were another part of
our everyday lives. But do that mean that we are no longer affected by them?
One advertising expert believes that
the special power of advertising lies in the fact that we do not pay much
attention to it. Dr. Krugman, who was
head of research for a major advertising
company for many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are
affected by them. Dr. Krugman believes
that when we stop noticing
advertisements, we lower our defenses, allowing the messages of the advertisements to be taken in and stored, ready to be triggered into action at the right moment. He says that the effects of advertising on the individual are small, but over a period of time they have a powerful effect on the masses. A market analyst says that all advertising, no matter how innocent, is misleading in some way. When asked about the power of advertising in research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almost everyone believes that they have complete control over how thousands of ads they see every day affect them. 【 】51. Ads exist to make people
want . A. a new type of orange juice B. X-brand jeans
C. to watch the latest film D. what they advertise 【 】52. The more we see ads, the less
we . A. pay attention to them B. feel tired of them
C. neglect them D. put up with them 【 】53. Although we may think we are
not affected by them, Dr.
Krugman believes that
advertisements
affect . A. all of us B. most of us
C. some of us D. a few individuals
【 】. Dr. Krugman believes that
when we stop noticing ads, we begin to . A. like them B. be on guard against them
C. accept them D. dislike them
【 】55. When asked about the power of ads, most people agree that ads are ineffective
on . A. individuals B. masses C. others D. them Passage 2 Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so
much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an
idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an
unexpected the
form. One Sunday morning local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note
of appreciation. More than a year later I needed
a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a
long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation.
“ Wasn ’ t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a delivery to your
special
home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to
make one for you. You dona letter like that means to us. We usually
’t know what get nothing but complaints.【 ” 】 56. From
the passage, we understand that . A. the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties B. the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers C. the author received the same education as most people during his childhood D. the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 【 】57. According to the author . A. giving means you will lack money B. the excitement of giving can bring you money C. you don’t have to be rich in order to give D. when you give away money, you will be rich 【 】58.The author wrote a note of appreciation to the post office because . A. he knew what such a note would mean to the post office. B. he had discovered giving-away made life all the more exciting. C. he believed he would get something back by doing so. D. the postman delivered an important letter in time. 【 】59. When the author needed a post office box, . A. he had to put his name on a waiting list
B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him 【 】60. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said . A. it was the special delivery B. it was the post-office box C. it was the note of appreciation he wrote D. it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago Passage 3 Generations of Americans have
been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials.
Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.
Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years
for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have
breakfast increased by 33 percent ―from 8.8 million to 11.7 million ―
according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however,
there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for
adults especially, there may be nothing
wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance.” Said Arnold E.Bender,
the former professor of nutrition at
Queen Elizabeth College in London. “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,”says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.
【 】61. The passage is mainly concerned with . A. a study of the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation B. one of life’s essentials C. latest figures of people who don’t eat breakfast D. breakfast and human health
【 】62. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that .
A. several studies have been done in the past few years B. not eating breakfast does no harm to one’s health C. adults have especially made studies in this field D. eating little in the morning may be good for health
【 】63. In the third paragraph, “nor
does giving people breakfast improve performance.” means . A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance B. not giving people breakfast improves performance
C. people having breakfast do improve their performance
D. having breakfast does not improve performance, either
【 】. The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to .
A. stories about breakfast B. written works on a particular subject C. any printed materials D. the modern novels of American
【 】65. What is implied but not stated by the author is that .
A. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
B. breakfast does not affect performance
C. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
D. People who don’t eat breakfast have increased
Passage 4
Each day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, they can help managers decide on a future course of action, and they can then help with the follow-up checks on performance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate and timely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do a better job of identifying problems and opportunities. And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling when a computer can respond with a triggered report if actural performance varies from what was planned. The time saved in
controlling may allow managers to give more attention to employees’ concerns, and this, in turn, may result in improved morale(士气)。
But employment benefits certainly aren’t restricted to managers. Healthcare researchers and other scientists also use computers to conduct research into complex problem areas that couldn’t otherwise be studied. Lawyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent(先前的) cases in order to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely information about products in stock, can promise customers that their sales orders will be handled promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of the computer system. And the job duties of some office and factory workers have changed from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealing tasks through computer usage. For example, office workers who understand text processing, computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and are given critical office functions to perform.

Why I Attended College？
Why did I choose to attend college? Is the four-year academic life worthwhile? I have put these questions to myself at many times in the past two years, and now I have reached the conclusion that college education is something that I truly want and it is worthwhile.
I chose to attend college because I enjoy learning. I felt that I wanted to continue to study, I simply couldn’t end my education upon graduation from the high school and enter the working world so soon. I chose to attend college also because I feel college is more than a place which offers knowledge. It also exposes one to a rich variety of ideas and help. Finally, I feel that in today’s world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market. Attending college is a practical and necessary step to ensure a secure future for myself.
For these reasons, I never consider myself unhappy, miserable or unfairly burdened, and I never think attending college is a waste of time and money.

Part II Reading Comprehension (40
points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful
daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:
“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”
“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.
41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.
A. he had too much wealth B. there was terrible famine C. all stories have ends D. there was no story-teller
42. The young man risked to tell an endless
story
to
the
Prince
for
_________. A. a great sum
B. the prince’s beautiful daughter C. showing his bravery D. Both A and C
43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end. A. forever B. for some time C. for a while D. for a year
44. In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________. A. a huge storehouse B. a large farm C. a beautiful palace D. a waterproof kitchen
45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________. A. a loaf B. a small hole C. a grain of corn D. a locust
Passage Two
Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to
color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.
The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.
46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. Children are interested in some packages of products.
B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.
C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.
D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.
47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” (Line 1, Para 2) probably means _________.
A. a buyer will get something free of charge
B. a buyer will get something useless C. a buyer will get something useful D. nothing is worth buying
48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A.
Sometimes
people
are
easily
motivated by packages.
B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.
C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.
D. “Economy Size” doesn’t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money. 49. What does the word “them” (Line 6, Para. 1) refer to? _________.
A. Small gifts B. Pictures C. Games D. Products 50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Package is just an advertisement. B.
Buyers
shouldn’t
believe
the
information on the package too much. C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.
D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.
Passage Three
For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself
to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the
English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words,
have
changed
since
Shakespeare’s day.
51. English people_________.
A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist
B. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatists
C. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist
D. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist
52. Every Englishman knows_________. A. more or less about Shakespeare B. Shakespeare, but only slightly C. all the Shakespeare’s writings D. only the name of greatest English writer
53. Which of the following is TRUE? A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings. B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.
C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.
D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings. . “HAMLET” is _________.
A. a play written by Shakespeare B. a play recommended by Shakespeare C. a play appreciated by Shakespeare D. a play people have been complaining about
55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.
A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s time
B. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s days D. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days
Passage Four
Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the
local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).
Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese
people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with
this
indignity.
Waiters
and
waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping
also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.
56. The main idea of this passage is _________.
A. shopping and tipping B. sales and shopping C. sales taxes and tipping
D. sales taxes and people
57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you
pay extra _________as sales tax. A. $4.5 B. $4 C. $5 D. $5.5 58. Usually, cab drivers _________. A. get high wages from the employer B. get great benefits from the employer C. get low wages from the employer D. get prize from the employer 59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.
B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.
C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.
D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill. 60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.
A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.
B. are over 15% in the U. S.
C. have been put an end in the U. S. D. vary from place to place in the U. S.

points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions
or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,
C, and D.
You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on
the
ANSWEAR SHEET. Passage One
Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from
other
adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager.
We’ve heard
everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid,
but just wait, now that she’s a
teenager ...” to the
ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go
through it the
best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the
need to share their negative predictions
well within the hearing of both our
daughters.
I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can
also be
difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that
we care
for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very
point they set
out on that journey toward adulthood we
stand there watching them
disapprovingly, just
waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to
respect
themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by
treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the
more I see
each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or
another. For
example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite
restaurant
and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that
my first
thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong!
These young
men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked
beyond the
jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I
saw what fine people these kids were. Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect
are unhappy
about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that
unless we
give them something better to go after,
we really shouldn’t complain. 41. When their children reach their teens,
parents usually expect ______.
A. trouble B. sympathy C. congratulations D. inspiring comments
42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble
with parents is that ______.
A. they are too watchful of their teenage
children
B. they are too concerned about their
children’s future
C. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respect D. they speak ill of their children within
their hearing
43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her
first thought was ______.
A. her quiet dinner with her husband
would be ruined
B. something interesting was going to
happen over dinner
C. they were wrong to have chosen this
restaurant for dinner
D. she and her husband were going to
have a pleasant surprise
44. What does the author think of the two
teenage boys?
A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair. B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle. C. They are fine young men despite their
loose jeans and multi-colored hair. D. They will respect you if you respect
them.
45. What is the main idea of the last
paragraph?
A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars. B. Pop singers and sport stars should not
be heroes of our children.
C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to
blame.
D. Parents should set a good example for
their children to follow.
Passage Two
More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information
that exists only inside computer
memories. Anyone
clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward.
Even
worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have
managed to get away without punishment. It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what
the
computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away
not only
unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former
employers.
Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s
disturbing to note
how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by
systematic
inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been
caught may
have been the victims of uncommonly
bad luck.
Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go
to jail,
computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that
they not be
charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other
benefits. All too
often, their demands have been met. Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would
result if
the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the
thought of a
criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and
security staff.
And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations
he needs to
continue his crimes elsewhere. 46. It can be concluded from the passage
that ______.
A. it is still impossible to detect computer
crimes today
B. people commit computer crimes at the
request of their company C. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be
detected
D. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial
institutions
47. It is implied in the third paragraph
that ______.
A. most computer criminals who are
caught blame their bad luck
B. the rapid increase of computer crimes
is a troublesome problem
C. most computer criminals are smart
enough to cover up their crimes D. many more computer crimes, which
are discovered, go undetected 48. Which of the following statements is
mentioned in the passage?
A. A strict law against computer crimes
must be enforced.
B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover
computer crimes to protect their
reputation.
C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their
reputation.
D. Companies need to impose restrictions
on confidential information. 49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught? A. With a bad reputation they can hardly
find another job.
B. They may walk away and easily find
another job.
C. They will be denied access to
confidential records.
D. They must leave the country to go to
jail.
50. The passage is mainly about ______. A. why computer criminals are often able
to escape punishment
B. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspections C. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former
employers
D. why computer crimes can’t be
eliminated Passage Three
Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not
think
about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield
surrounding
his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When
he bumps
onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s
“comfort zone”
depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many
Americans
stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at
arm’s length”,
people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other,
and touch each
other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an
American while in
conversation, the American may feel
uncomfortable and back away.
When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying.
To
Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of
excitement or
disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden
by a
deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate
their
attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely
and
maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as
impolite or
threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person
doesn’t look
you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume
that he
doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be
rude.

politely Passage Four
After the violent earthquake that shook
Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake
scientists had
good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been
much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an
earthquake of similar
intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and
deaths were
relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday,
when
traffic was light on the city’s highways. In
addition, changes made to the
construction codes
in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings
and highways,
making them more resistant to quakes. Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned
to their
drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The
new
designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes
often take place. In the
past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as
steel and
wood, which bend without breaking. Later,
people tried to lift a building off its
foundation,
and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the
impact of
ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as
concrete and
steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living
organisms to an
earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips
forward, the computer
would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart
structures could be
very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less
likely to be
damaged during earthquakes. 56. One reason why the loss of lives in
the Los Angeles earthquake was
comparatively low is that______.
A. new computers had been installed in
the buildings
B. it occurred in the residential areas
rather than on the highways C. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday D. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways 57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______. A. counter-balance an earthquake’s
action on the building
B. predict the coming of an earthquake
with accuracy
C. help strengthen the foundation of the
building
D. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations
58. The smart buildings discussed in the
passage ______.
A. would cause serious financial problems B. would be worthwhile though costly C. would increase the complexity of
architectural design
D. can reduce the ground vibrations
caused by earthquakes
59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by
earthquakes
attention should be focused on ______. A. the increasing use of rubber and steel
in capital construction
B. the development of flexible building
materials
C. the reduction of the impact of ground
vibrations
D. early forecasts of earthquakes 60. The author’s main purpose in writing
the passage is to______. A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S. B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers C. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials D. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building
