It is believed that it took about 800 thousand to 1 million years for the earth's population to reach the 250 million total which existed at the end of the first century AD. For some time after that, disease, famine(饑餓) and war kept the population increase down to a rate of 1 percent a year so that more than 15 centuries passed before the population reached 500 million. But in the next 250 years, up to 1850, the population of the world shot to 1 billion and today it has reached 3.5 billion. Scientists say that in the next 35 years the population of the world will double, reaching almost 7 billion by the year 2010.

When experts are asked what are the most effective measures that can stop over population, they reply that at least three measures can be considered.

(A) Increasing sources and supply of food for under-developed countries.

(B) Increasing the industrialization of under- developed countries.

(C) Controlling birth.

The experts add, however, that none of the above measures can be effective by itself, and that all must be combined into one whole program. They also agree that without controlling of births, any other measures are doomed (注定) to failure.

The population _______ because of disease, famine and war.

A. didn't increase                  B. became less  

C. increased slowly               D. still increased very fast

The population of the world doubled between the year _______.

A. 1850 and today              B. 100 and the year 1400 

C. 100 and the year 1600          D. 1 and the year 100

Which of the following is true?

A. the richer the country is, the faster the population increase.

B. Birth control is the most important way to control the growth of population.

C. the population in the developed countries is increasing faster than that in the underdeveloped countries.

D. It is impossible to control the increase of the population.

The passage was written in ________.

A. 1850                 B. 1936                 C. 2001                 D. 1975

第二節(jié) 讀寫(xiě)任務(wù)(共1小題，滿分25分)

閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

The generation gap between students and teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3 percent out of a survey group of 1,000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.

In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning instead of also becoming good friends in the life of students.

As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “ apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial (偏心).

“ I feel sad to hear such remarks”, said Yu Yi , a well-known special-class teacher.

She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on the novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.

“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (傳授) but also where students are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state. ”

Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.

( 2 ) 你希望你與你的老師之間的關(guān)系是怎樣的,如何才能建立這種關(guān)系?
