（二）Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:
In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence．This retards progress to higher develpment．
Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore．The only wood is such as drifts in．other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals．All of these have been used for habitations and storage, places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers．The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why they construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground．This device also makers the houses more impervious(不能渗透的)to the cold．
Most of us are inclined to think that the Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house．This is not entirely true．After the long cold winter, the family is very likely to move, when the weather permits, into a tent sealskin．The actual construction of such a tent is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes and will be described later．
The snow house, however, is an interesting and unique habitation．Our summer campers will not build, with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter camps mountains might try to make snow houses．

Electronic books could change the way of reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well．“The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it,” Jason Ohler, professor of technology, warned the world．He weighed the advantages and disadvantages of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc．Before you read an e-book, consider the disadvantages．
He believed that the e-books increase harness of eye due to poor screen, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print-book production and traditional publishing．E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors．
On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online．They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self publishing．
In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met, make them recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots” get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business．
16．What is the purpose of this writing?

The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years.Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks.Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime.It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m.and 6 a.m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle.You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m.and 2 a.m.on a Saturday night in December, January, or February.What is the most uncriminal month of all?

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: “Fingers were made before forks”.When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.16.The custom of eating with a fork was _____.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians 17.By the fifteenth century forks were used _____.A.all over ItalyB.only in Constantinople C.widely in EuropeD.In England 18.To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _____.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous 19.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ______.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food clean C.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English 20.In England, people who used forks at that time were considered _____.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and C Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month.Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday.The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families.Major holidays in the United States include New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day.In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year.This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once.Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.21.The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have __________ weekends.A.5-dayB.2-dayC.3-dayD.4-day 22.Workers in the United States sometimes work from __________.A.MondayB.Saturday to Monday C.Thursday to FridayD.Tuesday to Friday 23.Which statement is wrong according to this passage?

25.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Holidays in the United States B.Vacation in the United Staes C.How the Workers Spend Their Holidays D.Something about the Holidays and Vacation in the U.S.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry.England had been a major producer of wool for centuries.Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England.And cloth-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing.With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased.But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time.The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth.The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves.The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once.A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers.Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule.It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread.Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.
26.What was the most important export of England before the revolution? A.Wool cloth.B.Wool and woolen cloth.

29.“simultaneously” in the last sentence means ____.
A.at the same timeB.together
C.at a timeD.altogether 30.This passage can best be titled ____.A.Process of the Industrial Revolution
