Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. During the early years of this century,wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good,the economy was good;when the crops failed. there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn,but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due,only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions,producer groups asked for firmer controls,but governments had no wish to become involved,at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild. Anxious to check inflation(通货膨胀)and rising living costs,the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors(监视员)to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended,and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919,the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board,with full authority to buy,sell. and set prices.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. In our day of the automobile and paved highway few people ever encounter quicksand(流沙). Yet quicksand is still common in many pans of the country. It may be more dangerous for being less familiar. Quicksand is usually found along the shores and in the beds of rivers. It is simply sand saturated(使饱和)with water from beneath,as from a spring. The water flowing into the sand separates the grains. The suspended grains give rather easily and a heavy object placed on the surface is likely to sink. How fast it sinks depends on its weight and surface area. How does one detect quicksand?It cannot be done by the eye alone,since sand which looks firm may suddenly collapse and trap anyone who ventures out on it. The only way to be sure is to test the sand before walking on it. For test a probing(探索)pole or long stick should be used. If the pole sinks more than six inches,the sand is probably quicksand. A traveler who stumbles into quicksand will soon sink to the depth of his knees. If he stands still or struggles wildly,he will sink even further. He should at once lie on his back and stretch out his arms. Contrary to popular notion,quicksand does not suck objects down,and will support more weight than water alone. While the trapped person“floats”on the surface of the sand,rescuers should build a platform with boards or branches. Then they can pull him out slowly. If the trapped person is alone,he can rescue himself. When he is in the floating position,he should begin rolling toward solid ground. Rolling is the only way of getting free. It should be done with frequent rests,so that the trapped person does not tire himself. When he reaches solid ground,he should swing his legs to safety,and quickly scramble out of the quicksand.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Human feelings are affected by colour unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings,that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless,and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of colour psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the cokur of the night sky and therefore associated with quiet and calm:White yellow is a key colour in association with energy. For primitive men,activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking,which he soon saw red,the colour of blood and the fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary colour to red,should be associated with passive defence. Experiments have shown that colours also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red,show an increase in breathing rate,heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect,because it is a calming colour. Because red has an implication of exciting,it was chosen as the signal for danger. Some analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colours that stop traffic deed.

Ⅶ.Translation from English into Chinese 将下列短文译成汉语。
1. Have you heard about new compact Discs?They're the latest invention from Sony. A CD consists of a piece of aluminium coated with transparent plastic,12 cms across,for producing sound. It's similar to an ordinary record,except that it's read by a laser beam,and the information recorded on the aluminium is digital. The makers claim that a CD can reproduce the original sound perfectly,without any distortion or background hiss. As the system is computerized,there's no loss of quality between the studio master and the record you buy. Also,a CD is much tougher-than a vinyl(乙烯基)record,so it doesn't need such careful handling. Dust and dirt won't damage it,and as there's no contact between the laser and the disc, it will never wear out.
