Since World War II, all nations of the world have shown a great interest in economic growth. The highly developed nations have shown the greatest growth rates. However, in spite of their growth rates, these nations have been troubled by two serious problems: inflation(通貨膨脹) and unemployment. At one time economists believed that generally prices would rise faster than wages and employment, but that these would quickly follow, and that a fall in wages would bring a fall in prices. However, for some time the Western economists have been suffering from both continually increasing inflation and continually increasing unemployment.

Other problems have accompanied technological development. These include the pollution of water and air by the wastes of factories, solid wastes from many technical activities( including atomic ones), and the deterioration(惡化)of workers' health in many factories, mines, and other industrial activities. The concentration(密集) of population in cities has given rise to many problems of housing, educational and medical services, and higher and higher crime rates. These are the social costs of economic growth which must be met by the society.

Technological development and the economic growth dependent on it have brought about great changes in the economic systems. Production has been concentrated into a few large corporations(企業(yè)), such as the oil companies and the automobile producers.

67. Which of the following expressions is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Economic growth. B. Production relationship.

C. Inflation and unemployment. D. Crime rates.

68. The highly developed countries have had their economy grown rapidly, __________.

A. so there are few poor people there

B. and the prices of goods are always low

C. and all the people there can enjoy high wages

D. but they have met inflation and unemployment

69. Technological development has led to many other problems except __________ according to the passage.

A. the deterioration of workers'health

B. pollution of air C. wars between countries

D. pollution of water

70. The reason why crime rates are higher and higher is that __________.

C. the society mustn't meet economic growth

D. there are no educational and medical services

History is full of examples of leaders joining together to meet common goals. But rarely have two leaders worked together with such friendship and cooperation as American President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. They both were born in wealthy families and were active in politics for many years. Both men loved the sea and the navy，history and nature.

Roosevelt and Churchill first met when they were lower­level officials in World War One. But neither man remembered much about that meeting. However，as they worked together during the Second World War they came to like and trust each other. Roosevelt and Churchill exchanged more than one thousand seven hundred letters and messages during five and a half years. They met many times，at large national gatherings and in private talks. But the closeness of their friendship might be seen best in a story told by one of Roosevelt’s close advisors，Harry Hopkins. Hopkins remembered how Churchill was visiting Roosevelt at the White House one day. Roosevelt went into Churchill’s room in the morning to say hello. But the president was shocked to see Churchill coming from the washing room with no clothes at all. Roosevelt immediately apologized to the British leader for seeing him naked. But Churchill reportedly said: “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the president of the United States.” And then both men laughed.

The United States and Great Britain were only two of several nations that joined together in the war to resist Hitler and his Allies. In January,1942，twenty­six of these nations signed an agreement promising to fight for peace，religious freedom，human rights，and justice. The three major Allies，however，were the most important for the war effort: the United States，Britain，and the Soviet Union. Yet，Churchill and Roosevelt disagreed about when  to attack Hitler in western Europe. And Churchill resisted Roosevelt’s suggestions that Britain give up some of its colonies. But in general，the friendship between Roosevelt and Churchill，and between the United States and Britain led the two nations to cooperate closely.

1.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Roosevelt and Churchill had much in common.

B．Roosevelt and Churchill had nothing in common.

C．Roosevelt and Churchill had no difference but cooperation.

D．Roosevelt and Churchill always joined together to meet common goals.

2.Which of the following about Roosevelt and Churchill is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Since World War One they had believed in each other.

B．They exchanged just 27 letters and messages per month during the 5.5 years.

C．Harry Hopkins never let out the closeness of their friendship.

D．Roosevelt and Churchill hadn’t been presidents before World War One.

3.We can know from the passage that________.

A．Roosevelt and Churchill did not always agree with each other

B．over two differences between Churchill and Roosevelt were mentioned

C．Churchill urged Roosevelt to give up some of its colonies

D．the differences between Roosevelt and Churchill had an effect on their cooperation

Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt. 

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. 

Though the belief in the merit (優(yōu)點(diǎn)) of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫學(xué)家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

1.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because ________.

A．they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B．they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in

C．they believed disease could be spread in public baths

D．they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV's attitude to bathing?

A．Afraid.            B．Curious.           C．Approving.        D．Uninterested.

3.How does the passage mainly develop?

A．By providing examples.

B．By making comparisons (比較).

C．By following the order of time.

D．By following the order of importance.

4.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A．To stress the role of dirt.

B．To introduce the history of dirt.

C．To call attention to the danger of dirt.

D．To present the change of views on dirt.
