So far as the children were concerned， they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger， however， so that she often said to her husband, ＂ it’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener. In fact， James came once a year， unexpectedly around eight o＇ clock in the evening， and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them， as if he was unable to see children， at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss， James took no notice of Maggie either， except to add “you’ll be getting on with the supper Maggie” Such was his regard for her. Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up， the four of them， to keep her company she said， but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James＇ voice. Very late， they dropped on to sleep in their chairs. Then， when James was about to go， Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction， for James， though rich， was mean. He always went home by the last train， just after two o'clock. Maggie' s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, "lost two wives and taken a third". They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door. 问：James often visited Maggie and her family. 单选题 1分

Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods. Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in rich in organism In simple terms, his means that the soil has been nourished(滋养)by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins(维他命)and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers(肥料), the main purpose of which is to increase the quantity but not the quality of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in health farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry(家禽): there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food. Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But the problem is that the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fiber. 问：Why do people now prefer natural foods? （ ） 单选题 2分

If the population grows rapidly from natural increase, i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds (超过)the number of deaths, then as a total population increases, the pro- portion in the workforce declines. （28） Thus, more people retire from the workforce and there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid in- crease in births or a falling birth rate. （29） If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring with- out a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels, finance must be available for that purpose, If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax receipts are relatively low. （30） A. Sometimes a population is described as aging, which means that the birth rate is either falling or the growing very slowly. B. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes both employees and the self-employed. C. The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. D. This means that the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily. E. There are still really high wage gaps in the labor force. F. The age distribution of the total population has a very great effect on the available workforce. 简答题 10分

Cosmology, geology, and biology have （32） a consistent, unified, and constantly improving account of what happened. " Scientific" creationism, which is being pushed by some for equal time in the classrooms whenever the scientific accounts of evolution are given, Is （33） on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and the majority of non-fundamentalist religious leaders have come to （34）"scientific" creationism as bad science and bad religion. The first four chapters of Kitcher’s 6 s book give a very brief （35） to evolution. At appropriate places, he （36） the criticisms of the creationists and provides answers. In the last three chapters, he takes off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating. He describes their programmes and tactics, and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists, the extent of their （37） and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise When their basic motivation is religious, one might have（ 38） more Christian behavior.
