[范文] What Would Happen if There Were No Power? Ever since early the last early, electricity has become an essential part of our modern life. Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines. The modern wonder-com-puters work on electricity too. It provides light. heat and power for us. If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios we also need it. Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity. If there were electric power, our modern world would be in trouble. For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail For another many if not all, of our industries would cease production. All the world transport system in addition would be felt on the world's communication systems. Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity. Therefore, we should make better use electric power On the other hand, we shoud educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future. At the same we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.

"It will be quite simple and we shan't make any fuss. I think an afternoon in fife open air will do us good, don't you? Would you like to come with us?" I had already made an appointment with the hairdresser but I weakly agreed to cancel it. Mrs. Brown smiled graciously. "I shall be making some cakes this afternoon," she explained, "so I shan't have any free time. I wonder whether you would mind doing some shopping for me during your lunch hour, that is, if you can fit it in." She handed me a typewritten list made up of twenty - four separate items, from shrimps to sugared almonds, including an order for a chicken, four sliced loaves, a half - litre of fresh cream and some Camembert, all to be delivered at the house before five o' clock. That still left me with plenty to carry myself, and it seemed that if only I could manage to stagger home with my load, there would be no danger of starving the next afternoon. That evening a violent thunderstorm broke. Rain poured down; the sky was split by terrifying flashes of forked lightning while peals of thunder drowned conversation. But Mrs. Brown was not upset. "It will have cleared up before morning," she prophesied.' "When this storm has passed we' It have ideal weather, you' 11 see. The B. B. C. weather forecast has promised sunshine, and they don' t often make mistakes." She was right. The following morning was glorious. Early in the morning I could hear her moving about in the kitchen. Breakfast was late and consisted of corn flakes and toast. "I must apologize for neglecting you," said Mrs. Brown. "So much to do ! You won't mind making your bed this morning, will you7 I'm so busy. I'm afraid we shall have to make do with cold meat and potatoes for lunch." The whole morning seemed to be spent in loading the car with a variety of bags, baskets and mysterious parcels. After a lunch of cold mutton, boiled potatoes, and limp damp lettuce, we took our rain jackets and umbrellas and fitted ourselves into the car. I was in the back seat, squeezed uncomfortably in the midst of' a mountain of equipment. We crawled for the next two hours along a main road where a line of traffic was wedged so tightly together that it was almost stationary. Mr. Brown was in charge of the steering wheel but Mrs. Brown controlled the driving. At last we turned down a narrow lane and started looking for a suitable place for tea. Each one that we saw had its drawbacks: too sunny, too shady, too exposed, too sheltered. "If we were to picnic there, we should be too hot, cold, conspicuous, shut in," declared Mrs. Brown as she inspected each in turn. At last she decided that a certain meadown ( in reality no different from ally other meadow we had examined) would do. Mr. Brown opened the gate and drove the car inside. We started to unload. I had never in my life realised that so much stuff could be required for a simple picnic. A folding table was produced together with a clean glossy tablecloth, folding chairs (with cushions), enough crockery and cutlery for a banquet and more than enough food for six courses, paper napkins, a transistor radio, half a dozen illustrated magazines and even soap, a towel, water and a bowl for washing our hands after the meal. I half expected a crimson carpet, possibly footstools for our feet, with red candles as tasteful table decorations. I did discover a tin of fly killer, a bottle of ammonia for the treatment of stings and even some indigestion tablets. For a whole hour we made our preparations and at last everything that we needed was ready. As we were enjoying our first mouthful of thermosflask soup, a stout man opened the gate and came towards us. "Sorry to make a nuisance of myself, but in five minutes we shall have finished milking the cows," he announced. "They'll be coming back here directly after." Mrs. Brown gazed at him speechless for a moment. At last she found words. "But you can see we've only just started eating," she protested indignantly. "surely you can delay sending them in for an hour or so?" "Sorry ma'am, we've other jobs to do. We'll give you time to clear up: that' s the most that we can allow. Say twenty minutes. You know you're trespassing, of course?" Mrs. Brown seemed to collapse in her chair. I wished I were fifty miles off. Mr Brown was the only one that accepted the situation philosophically. "It seems to be high time we departed," was his only comment. Half an hour after we moved off as the cows were wandering down the lane and as the first drops of rain were falling. We joined the traffic jam in the main road. Three hours later we unpacked again and had our picnic in Mrs. Brown' s dining - room--with a carpet underfoot but still no candles. We were strangely silent but our deep sense of grievance did not in any way prevent us from eating a great deal.
1. The author was most probably a tenant of the family.
Y
[解析] 从第四段"she handed me a typewritten list... all to be delivered...”可看出“I”是一个跑腿的，第七段的“making your bed”说明“我”住在家里，以及从后文帮女主人准备食物，又"in the back seat"，可做出此判断。
2. When the author was invited by Mrs. Brown to go on a picnic, she accepted it happily.
3. From the author's description, we can conclude that Mrs. Brown had made very detailed arrangements for the picnic.
Y
[解析] 从第四段Mrs．Brown列出的让我购买的长长的购物清单，以及第六段的“breakfast was late”，第七段Mrs．Brown的话“I'm so busy”都可看出Mrs．Brown为这次野餐作了周详的准备。
4. Mrs Brown decided to have the picnic in a certain meadow without much thought.
N
[解析] 从第八段"we turned down a narrow lane and started looking for a suitable place for tea"可知我们在一路寻找合适的地方；又从后文"each one that we saw had its drawbacks"可看出我们在比较这些地方，考虑它们各自的优缺点后，再作决定，故说"without much thought"不准确。
5. The farmer told the picnickers to leave because he was unfriendly and fault -finding.
N
[解析] 从第十二段那个农场主的话得知在"milking the cows"后，the cows "They'll be coming back..."，他首先向“我们”道歉，说明他不是不友好的，并从后面的解释来看，他并不是故意找茬，故此判断不准确。
6. "I wish I were fifty miles off" means that the author was eager to go home.
N
[解析] 从第十四段可知Mrs．Brown和“我”刚刚把野餐的东西准备好开始享用时就被告知不得不另换地方，所作的努力都白费了，所以我非常沮丧，这里fifty miles off 并不是指我想回家，而是说明“我”非常希望当时不在那个地方而是在其它地方做好了野餐准备。
7. Mr Brown was happy that I was invited to joined the picnic.
NG
[解析] 文章从始至终都未提到Mr Brown对邀请我加入野餐的态度，因此无从判断。

traffic jam。
[解析] 从第八段"we crawled for the next two hours along a main road"及后面的“it was almost stationary”可看出“我们”遇到了严重的交通阻塞。

Passage Two To most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one's ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group. To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly ,for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion--from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager--within a very short time. Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day -to -day African life. As evidence of tribalism, in 1977 in Kenya, president Jomo Kenyatta's tribe controlled business and politics. Eight of the 21 cabinet posts, including the most important four were filled. by Kikuyus. In Uganda in the same year, the president' s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions! In Agola, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by' disagreements among tribes.
1. What is the definition of tribalism?

Part Ⅵ Short Answer Questions Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words ( not exceeding 10 words ). Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. The human auditory(听觉的) range is limited to begin with: if we could hear sounds lower than 20 vibrations per second, we would be driven mad by the rumblings and creakings of our muscles, intestines and heartbeats; every step we take would sound like an explosion. But even with our auditory range we select, focus, pay attention to a few sounds and blot out the rest. We are so assaulted(困扰) by sound that we continually "turn off". But in the process we shut out the glorious symphony(交响乐) of sound in which the living world is bathed. The sound-tormented city dweller who habitually "turns off his audio" loses a dimension of social reality. Some people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded room and from the sounds encountered know immediately the mood, pace and direction of the group assembled. Everything becomes more real when heard as well as seen. It is, in fact, quite hard really to know a person by sight alone, without hearing his voice. And it is not just the sound of the voice that informs. Even the rhythm of foot- steps reveals age and variations of mood--delight, depression, anger, joy. Hearing can also soothe and comfort. The snapping of logs in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening--all are savored sounds that make us feel at home. In a well-loved home, every chair produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a different click, groan or squeak. The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds. Every place, every event has a sound dimension. The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man if he better understands its worth and how it works. Most people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be pushed by cultivation. At a friend's house recently, my wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after another, onto the floor. "Three quarters, two dimes, a nickels and three pennies," said our host as he came in from the next room. And as an after thought: "One of the quarters is silver." He was right, down to the last penny. "How did you do it.'?" we asked. "Try it yourself." he said. We did, and with a little practice we found it easy, Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound. When we are lost in thought, we involuntarily drum with our fingers or tap with a pencil--a reminder that we are still surrounded by a world outside ourselves, Just cutting down reflected sound can produce some odd results. The nearest thing on earth to the silence of outer space, for example, is the "anechoic chamber" at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Burray Hills, N, J. , which is lined with material that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound. Men who have remained in the room for more than an hour report that they feel nervous and out of touch with reality.
1. According to Paragraph One. Why do we blot out the sounds we don' t want to hear？
Because there're numerous sounds around us
[解析] 利用原文中的提示，用白己的话重组答案。 [详细解答] 此题在第一段中能找到答案 即" We are so assaulted by sound that we continually turn off ”。但回答应具体化，不能照般原活。根据第一段的内容可知“Our” world is filled with sounds．”，因此可把"assaulted by sound" 更换成" numerous sounds around us “就更自接．更只体。
2. The writer believes that the rhythm of our footsteps changes as______
[解析] 概括段落大意时，尽可能利用原文中现有的词。 [详细解答] 第四段的第一句说明听觉是可以提高的。下文接着说可以通过培养来提高听觉。在后面的例子中，作者证实了这一点。因此这两段的主要意思是可以通过训练，提高听觉。在这两段中分别出现了"the sense of hearing"，"restored"，"cultivation"，"practice"，可以利用这些词来组织答案。
5. The whole passage tells us that by ignoring most of the sound around us we miss much that could give us_________.
pleasure and information
[解析] 此题找不到现存的答案，需要进行总结，从第一段最后一句可知如果我们对周围的声音充耳不闻，我们便无法享受声音所带来的种种乐趣。从第二段可知声音是社会现实的一个层面，能揭示人的心情等，且倒数第一句：“…voice that informs”说明声音能提供信息。从第三段的第一句可知声音还能给人安慰、是令人愉快的。最后一段则说明没了声音，人们会感到紧张，与现实隔绝。总而言之，声音能提供快乐信息和安慰，安慰可并人愉悦之内，因为令人高兴当然会令人感到安慰。因此推导出答案为Pleasure and information．如果加上comfort也可以。
