Reading Comprehension Task 1. Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 26 through 30. For each question or statements there are four choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice and write the letter with a tick. Many of the world’s pollution problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase of world population in countries continues at the present rate (速度、比率)， there may be much greater harm to human beings (人类). Some scientists speak of the increase in numbers of people as “population pollution”. About 2000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billon (十亿) in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is now three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now! Man has been using the Earth’s resources more and more rapidly over the past years. Some of them are almost used up. Now many people believe that man’s greatest problem is how to control the growth of the population. The material supplies in the world will be far from enough to support the human population, in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in many cities and starvation (饥饿) in some countries. Should man’s population keep on growing so rapidly as before? Many people believe that human survival (人类生存) in the future depends on the answer to this question. 26. The world population will be by the year 2000. A. 7 billon B. 250 billon C. 25 billon D. 3.5 billon 27.It is very important for us ______. A. to use the materials in the world ( 课程 第 3 页 共8 页 )

B.C. to move into cities to control the growth of our population D. to support the human population 28. If the present rate of increase continues, ____ . A. the world is going to end B. the earth won’t be able to support the growing population in the future C. pollution has nothing to do with the rapidly increasing population D. there would be four billion in the world a hundred years from now 29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. In 1850 the world population reached a billion. B. Man must fight a battle against population pollution. C. The world’s population is increasing with years. D. All of the Earth’s resources are gone now. 30. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, how many people will there be in the year 2100 according to the passage? A) 2,500,000,000 B. 25,000,000,000 C. 25,000,000 D. 250,000,000,000 Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 31 through 35.

Before we set up the system, we must know what the names of different parts of the computer are and what they do. First, most important of all, is your instruction manual.
