  Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers,good cooks,do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive and hard-working training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business,or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort,the more effective the writing and the more rewarding.
There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe(抄写员) to do his / her business or social writing for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note . But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words,messages,letters,and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand,but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more,everyone who writes expects,or at least hopes, that his writing will be read.  We want to arouse and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file (档案)or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we make our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
71. What is good writing compared to in this passage and why? ( No more than 10 words.)
_________________________________________________________.
72. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “painstaking”.
_________________________________________________________.
73. According to the passage, why don’t some managers have to do any letter writing? ( No more than 15 words.)
__________________________________________________________.
74. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “ letter-to-be-read” file, what will be likely to happen?   (No more than 6 words.)
__________________________________________________________.
75. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?  (No more than 15 words.)
_________________________________________________________.

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed. I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.
小题1:What the grandfather was most worried about was ______.
A.the spread of the world warB.the safety of his two cousins
C.a drop in his living standardsD.his relatives killing each other
小题2:The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “______”.
A.order for army serviceB.train ticket for Europe
C.letter of rejectionD.note of warning

There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.
Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?
小题1:As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.
A.cause widespread damage in the countryside
B.affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C.had damaged effect on health
D.existed merely in urban and industries areas
小题2:As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.
A.share the same view with the scientist.
B.is uncertain of its occurrence
C.rejects it as being ungrounded
D.thinks that it will destroy the world soon
小题3:The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.
A.slip into B.make up forC.set up D.catch up with
小题4:It can be concluded that ____________.
A.raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth
B.lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster
C.almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade
D.the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come
小题5:This passage is primarily about __________.
A.the greenhouse effect B.the burning of fossil fuels
C.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice age
