However, the new law, once passed, will（）the Bridlington agreement illegal by giving workers the right to join unions of their choice.

In the western world, if a family member has got a cancer, his/her family members must tell him/her about it frankly. If not, it would be regarded illegal. But in Chinese culture, a common practice is not to tell the patient the truth. Some people think that this traditional practice, must be changed-along with the development of modernization. Write an essay of approximately 300 words on this issue to state your own opinion.

The tramp seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.

辛楣也笑了一笑，说：“鸿渐，我在路上要改变作风了。我比你会花钱，贪嘴，贪舒服。在李和顾的眼睛里，咱们俩也许是一对无知小子，不识物力艰难，不体谅旁人。从今以后，我不作主了，膳宿一切，都听他们支配。免得我们挑了贵的旅馆饭馆，勉强他们陪着花钱。这次买船票，是个好教训。”

Yeats was beginning to use a vocabulary freshly minted from the treasury of Gaelic literature, and many of the shorter poems in The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (1892) deal with a mythology Ireland had well nigh forgotten and England never known. For Arthur and his Round Table Yeats substituted the very different Conchubar and his Red Branch Warriors, and Finn and his Fenians. The Red Branch cycle of legends included Fergus, whom Ness had tricked out of his kingdom so that her son Conchubar could rule over Ulster in his stead. And in Fergus and the Druid Yeats makes him avid for dreaming wisdom. Fergus was the unwitting agent of the doom of the Sons of Usna, Naoise the lover of Deirdre and his brothers Ardan and Ainle, who had accompanied the lovers to Scotland when they fled from Conchubar’s wrath, for Deirdre was Conchubar’s intended bride. Fergus had persuaded them to return against the wishes of Deirdre and had been tricked out of acting as their safe conduct. He joined with Maeve, Queen of Connaught, after this, in her raid on Ulster, in which Cuchulain achieved his great fame as Ulster’s champion. Cuchulain is the Achilles of the Irish Saga, and he appears throughout Yeats’s plays and poems, as warrior, as husband of Emer, as lover of Eithne Inguba, and of Aoife, as the unknowing killer of his own son and finally as victim of the sea.1.

According to the passage, all named below went to Scotland EXCEPT（）.

Four general conditions seen to be necessary for the accumulation of recoverable quantities of petroleum: (1) strata containing organic matter to provide sources for petroleum formation, since oil is probably formed by the decomposition of marine organisms; (2) rocks with openings to serve as porous reservoirs for organic matter which has been buried; (3) impermeable layers of rocks on top of the reservoir rocks to prevent the escape of crude oil; and (4) suitable elevated structure features to allow the oil, water, and gas to separate. Anticlines, faults, unconformities, domes, salt or sculpture plugs, buried coral reefs and additional stratigraphic traps are structural features which may include oil if the first three prerequisites are also met.Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons formed as tiny marine animals are covered by mud, silt, and sands. The sands and muds, which were deposited on the shores of ancient seas, then were subjected the pressures of other deposits above them and turned into sand-stone and shale. The marine organic matter held in the sand and mud slowly turned into crude oil. More organic matter is preserved in fine sediments because they were generally deposited in deep, quiet water. Petroleum often accumulates in shale, but oil cannot ordinarily be extracted in commercial quantities from shale because it is not porous enough to furnish an adequate reservoir for easy recovery. Therefore, petroleum is more commonly pumped from petroleum bearing porous sandstones and limestone known as petroliferous beds.Petroleum fields and reserve areas are irregularly distributed throughout the world. Irregular distribution of petroleum from place to place and economic differences have combined to produce an interesting contrast between major producing areas and regions with great reserves. For example, about one-half of the world’s estimated petroleum reserves lie in the Near East (often referred to as the Middle East or Mid East) in Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrein, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Neutral Zones, and Turkey. However, these combined countries normally produce about one-fourth of world’s output. Unstable political conditions, inaccessible locations, lack of capital and technical know-how, a restrictive climatic environment, among other handicaps, have combined to reduce potential output. The true significance of the Near East in the petroleum industry lies not only in present production but also in the great reserves yet to be developed.The United States is both the largest producer and largest consumer of petroleum. The Mid Continent Province, which includes much of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Southeastern New Mexico produces almost one-half of the United States output. Other important petroleum- producing districts include: the Gulf Coast Province of Texas and Louisiana, the California Province, the Rocky Mountain Province, the Illinois-Indiana Province, and the Michigan Province. Some authors consider the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico as a separate petroleum province.Venezuela normally ranks second to the United States in petroleum production. Most of its production occurs around the shores of Lake Maracaibo, although recent discoveries near the mouth and middle course of the Orinoco River are important. Russia is the third ranking producer of petroleum. Russian oil production is concentrated on the western slopes of the Caspian Sea near Baku and Grozny, and near Ufa in the Volga River Valley and on the western slopes of the Ural Mountains.Iran, lrag, Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrein, Qatar, the Neutral Zone and Turkey together produce about one-fourth of the world’s petroleum. Most of the remainder of the world’s oil is produced in Indonesia, Mexico, and Rumania. Many other countries produce smaller amounts, but they are generally insignificant in their overall contribution to the world oil picture.1. Petroliferous beds（）.2. The Largest consumer of petroleum products is（）.3. The output of the Middle East countries has been limited by all of the following EXCEPT（）.4. Lake Maracaibo’s oil reserves（）.5. The importance of the Middle East oil fields（）.6. Petroleum is created by（）.7. Sandstone is created by（）.8. We may assume that scientists are looking for（）.9.

The drama critic, on the other hand, has no such advantages. He cannot be selective; he must cover everything that is offered for public scrutiny in the principal playhouses of the city where he works. The column space that seemed, yesterday, so pitifully inadequate to contain his comments on Long Day’s Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch that has chanced to find for itself a numskull backer with a hundred thousand dollars to lost. This state of affairs may help to explain why the New York theatre reviewers are so often, and so unjustly, stigmatized as baleful and destructive fiends. They spend most of their professional lives attempting to pronounce intelligent judgments on plays that have no aspiration to intelligence. It is hardly surprising that they lash out occasionally; in fact, what amazes me about them is that they do not lash out more violently and more frequently. As Shaw said of his fellow-critics in the nineties, they are “culpably indulgent body of men.” Imagine the verbal excoriations that would be inflicted if Lionel Tilling, or someone of comparable eminence, were called on to review five books a month of which three were novelettes composed of criminal confessions. The butchers of Broadway would seem lambs by comparison.1. In writing this passage, the author’s chief purpose seems to be（）.2. The passage indicates that the drama critic is（）.3. The passage suggests that as a play Long Day’s Journey Into Night was（）.4. As used in the passage, the word “excoriations” most nearly means（）.5. Lionel Tilling is most probably a（）.6. The “butchers of Broadway” are（）.7. The paragraph previous to this one most probably discussed the（）.

Throughout extensive areas of the tropics the tall and stately primeval forest has given way to eroded land, scrub and the jumble of secondary growth. Just as the virgin forests of Europe and North America were laid low by man’s improvidence, so those of the tropics are now vanishing — only their destruction may be encompassed in decades instead of centuries. A few authorities hold that, except for government reserves, the earth’s great rain forests may vanish within a generation. The economic loss will be incalculable, for the primary rain forests are rich sources of timber (mahogany, teak) and such by-products as resins, gums, cellulose, camphor and rattans. No one, indeed, can compute their resources, for of the thousands of species that compose the forest cover, there are only a few whose physical and chemical properties have been studied with a view to commercial use.Most important of all, the primeval rain forest is a reservoir of specimens, a dynamic center of evolution whence the rest of the world’s plant life has been continually enriched with new forms. The rain forest has the greatest variety of plant life found in any type of forest on earth. An observer in the forest, looking for a certain type of tree, might find one only every 3 or 4 miles or so, yet all the while be surrounded by single examples of many other species. These extensive reserves must be defended from the acquisitive hand of man.1. The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is（）.2. Concerning the rain forests, man still lacks knowledge of their（）.3. The resources of the rain forests are（）.4. The second sentence of the passage suggests that（）.5. The primary reason for conservation of the great rain forests is that they（）.6. As used in the passage, the word “primeval” means（）.7. The situation described is somewhat urgent because（）.8.

I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions are quite different from village to village. But the villages I stayed in had much in common—poor, dirty and backward. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled and doubtful. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world population live, and what effect their future might have on ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.In the end I chose a mountain village because it was little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a rocky road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a beautiful scene. After several hours’ walk the village came into sight.1. After the writer had arrived in India,（）.2. While looking for a typical village, the writer found（）.3. Before coming to India, the writer（）.4. The write decided to change his way of life because（）.5. The village the writer finally chose to live in（）.
