For each of them are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.</p><p><strong>Passage One</strong></p><p><strong>Fighting Against Water</strong></p><p>For centuries Dutch engineers have been fighting a war against water. Their main enemy is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, Holland is also called the Netherlands"which means"low land". Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have built to keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may suddenly burst through a dyke.Great damage</p><p>can be caused by floods when this happens.</p><p>Three large rivers are also part of the problem. These rivers are the Rhine, the Maas and the Scheldt. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passage across the country. At low tides, the rivers flow into the sea as usual, But at high tide, the sea can flow into the rivers! This is because the land is so low.</p><p>The battles against the water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and bigger country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take, or reclaim land that was under water. The dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hundred years.</p><p>Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between islands. Two dykes are built across the passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the seas.</p><p> Because the land is so low, water from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground. For this reason, the pumps continue working even the land has been drained(that is, when the water has been pumped away ). The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped there will be very bad floods.</p><p>A piece of reclaimed land is called polder, and Holland has thousands of polders. Some are very large, but others are quite small. There are farms on many of the polders. Corn and other crops grow well on the drained land, and it gives good grass for cattle. Many small towns and villages stand on polders. Even Amsterdam's great airport, Schiphol, was built on reclaim land. This land used to be under the old Lake Haarlem.</p><p><br/></p><p>51.

[单选题]<p><strong>Passage Two</strong></p><p>Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population</p><p>which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can't ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline, which is a non-renewable resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can't be so effective if it's taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to great extent.</p><p><br/></p><p>55.

[单选题]<p><strong>Passage Three</strong></p><p>Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.</p><p>It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(M #x) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg wont. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.</p><p>Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skate board hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.</p><p>Volvo, a famous Swedish car maker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.</p><p>Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its airbags will come out quickly in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe.</p><p><br/></p><p>59. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be(          )  .</p>
