    Dear Sirs,
    Improved ways of production make us able to offer you our
    change of Drilite batteries (電池)at a reduced price for large
    quantities.
    Further information of the new prices for your market are
    sent to you together with the letter, and you will see that
    the price has already reduced 5 per cent. As c.i.f (成本,保險(xiǎn)加

    batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere. The quality of
    our producers
    remains the same --- only the finest chemicals are used. The
    new prices are for the least orders of 1,000 pounds and will
    begin from January 1. Immediate sending off is guaranteed
    because enough can be made whenever you require it.
    We appreciate your past dealing and co-operstion (合作) with
    us, and look forward to supplying you in the new year at the
    new prices.

    Woman have more problems than men in old age. First of all,
    they have less money—or no money at all — and because of this,
    they often feel they get less respect , even at home. Quite a
    large number have no pension(退休費(fèi)) because they have never
    worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are
    supported mainly by their husbands or children. Second, a
    larger number of old women than old men become window(single
    women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and
    women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among
    older windows is lower than that among widows(single men).
    Statistics (統(tǒng)計(jì)) from 1990 in Shanghai show only 52 percent of
    elderly women with husbands still living, compared
    to(與---相比)82 percent of men.
    Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage,
    many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no
    social life. Even an old couple lives with children, it is the
    woman who ends up doing the work around the house. She cleans
    the rooms, prepares meals, and takes care of the family. Some
    75 percent of them carry out such heavy physical tasks as
    buying and carrying grain, coal and other supplies for the
    home. How to improve the quality of life of women in their
    later years is a question that needs to be dealt with by all
    the society.
    44.If they had more money, elderly women _______.
    A. would have no more problem    B. could live a fairy life
    C. would get more respect     D. would need no care of others
    45.In Shanghai, of 150 elderly women, only ______have husbands
    still living.
    A.75.    B.52.    C.82. D.78.
    46.According to the statistics, suppose there are 150,000
    elderly men, _____of them are
    widowers.
    A.27,000 B.78,000 C.72,000 D.123,000
    47.According to the writer, _______.
    A. elderly women should be paid well B. elderly women should
    live with their families
    C. all people should do something for elderly women
    D. housework should not be done by elderly women

    Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it
    seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more
    people, and more people will bring us more industry, more
    cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made
    materials.
    What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that
    pollution is caused by man—by his desire(欲望) for a modern way
    of life. We make "increasing industrialization"(工業(yè)化) our first
    aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air,
    pure water, good food, our health and the future of our
    children. There is a constant flow of people from the
    country-side into the cities, eager for the achievements of
    our modern society. But as our technological achievements have
    grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious
    problem.
    Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourslves where we are
    going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot
    (飛行員) who told his passengers over the loudspeaker : "I've
    some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we 're
    making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is
    that we are lost and don't know where we're going." The sad
    fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our
    modern society.
    48. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because
    _______.
    A. the population of the world is increasing faster
    B. people use too many man-made materials
    C. we have more industry    D. we are producing more cars,
    trucks and buses
    49. According to the passage, what does man care most among
    the following?
    A. Health.  B. Industry.  C. Clean air D. The future of the
    children
    50.The story about the pilot tells us that _______.
    A. man knows where the society is going
    B. people don't welcome the rapid development of modern
    society
    C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
    D. the speaker is worried about the future of our society
    51.What dose the writer really want to say in the passage?
    A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a
    serious problem.
    B. We should control the speed of the development to stop
    pollution.
    C. It's time we did something to reduce pollution.
    D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural
    result.

    A wind tunnel (風(fēng)洞) is used for teasing planes or plane
    models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model
    placed in a test section(區(qū)).Wind tunnel test sections are
    different in size depending on airflow speed requirements.
    Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a
    complete small plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for
    space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil.
    There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In
    the constant flow tunnel, airflow is produced by electric
    fans. It is forced through the tunnel to the test section,
    then through another tunnel section back to the starting point
    for reuse.
    The other way involves (卷入) storing high-pressure air in a
    box, sending it out by a controlling device(裝置) to pass
    through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way
    is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow.
    Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are
    flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the
    high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings
    are built so that they would weaken(become weak) at high
    speeds, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, saving many
    lives and millions of dollars.
    In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different
    planes will act different speeds. They find out such things as
    how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can
    fly before it starts to drop, and how fast it can climb.
    52.Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because
    ________.
    A. they are used large planes    B. stronger wind can be
    produced in them
    C. they are built to meet a higher speed test D. the wind used
    in them flows at a lower speed
    53.Which of the following shows the right way of feeding air
    to a wind tunnel section usually
    used for a high speed test?
    ( ← = wind flow = test section)
    54. "This fact" in paragraph 4 of the text refers to _______.
    A. the wing are not good enough   B. it costs a lot to test a
    plane
    C. some problems are found with the plane D. many people will
    die in a plane accident
    55. A wind tunnel can be used to find out ______.
    A. how fast a plane can rise    B. how smooth a plane's
    surface is
    C. if a plane can land in a very strong wind D. if a plane
    will drop when flying at a low height  第四部分:寫作
