Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes in reducing population growth—but more by accident than design.While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates,Brazil has had better result without really trying,says George Martine at Harvard.
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990,and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average.Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990,an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.
Martine puts it down to,among other things,soap operas and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s.Both played an important,although indirect,role in lowering the birth rate.Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas.Globo,Brazil’s most popular television network,shows three hours of soaps six nights a week,while three others show at least one hour a night.Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.
“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction(生育),they describe middle and upper class values—not many children,different attitudes towards sex,women working,”says Martine.“They sent this message to all parts of Brazil and made people realise other patterns of family life and other values,which were put into a very attractive package.”
Meanwhile,the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers.“This led to change in consumption(消費)patterns and consumption did not get along well with unlimited reproduction,”says Martine.
【1】The underlined phrase “puts it down to” is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.considers the cause of it to be
B.finds it a reason for
C.looks it on as
D.compares it to
【2】Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because .
A.they keep people sitting long hours watching TV
B.they have gradually changed people’s way of life
C.people are drawn to their attractive package
D.they make birth control measures popular
【3】What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?
A.The increase in birth rate will increase consumption.
B.The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.
C.Consumption patterns and reproduction patterns are contradictory.
D.A country’s production is limited by its population growth.
【4】Which is the best title of the passage?
A.Brazil:the developing world’s success
B.Soap operas and installment plans
C.Brazil:reducing birth rate by accident
D.Learn from Brazil,one of the Third World Countries
【5】From the passage,we can conclude that .
A.India have reduced birth rates by accident,too
B.many other Third World countries are suffering a population growth rate now
C.Brazil government’s achieved a success reducing the birth rate purposely
D.Brazil has successfully reduced population growth—but more by accident than design

Kong Zi,also called Confucius(551—479 B.C.),and Socrates(469—399 B.C.)lived only a hundred years apart.During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece,but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas,and how these ideas in turn,shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace,though there were more wars in Greece than in China.The Chinese states were very large and feudal,while the Greek city-states were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激進的)than Confucius.Unlike Confucius,Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus,Socrates was able to be more idealistic,focusing on issues like freedom,and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius,on the other hand,advised those in government service,and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life.“Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth,though some had more potential than others,and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the individual,and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius,he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下層的) classes.
For Socrates,the family was of no importance,and the community of little concern.For Confucius,however,the family was the centre of society,with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common.
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
【2】Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .
A.all men were equal when they were born
B.the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C.the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D.people should not do to others what they did not want others to do to them
【3】What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A.Family. B.Potential.
C.Knowledge. D.Community.
【4】This passage is organized in the pattern of .
A.time and events
B.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effect
D.definition and classification

【題目】Weird Homes We All Wish We Live in
Your home is one of the biggest purchases you’re going to make in your entire life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live somewhere you enjoy. If you’re looking for the weird, the wonderful, or just odd, then these houses are the top of the list.
Upside Down
Like the previous upside down home, this is the type of concrete house that is more interesting to really see from the outside than it is to actually live there. The door is near the top. If you want to live here, you are going to have to deal with the crowds exploring daily.
Satellite Home
Having an entire side of your house made of glass is just asking for a rock to be thrown by the local children. However, it also offers the best view surrounding the scenic home. The inside appeared to be separated into multiple tiers, with each tier broken down into various rooms.
UFO House
This home is located within Taiwan at present. For those who have wondered what it would be like to be kidnapped by aliens and forced to live within their ship for a few years, this house should offer some similar experience.
New Age Tree Fort
If you grew up a flower child, then chances are you either adapted that lifestyle into your own or would prefer to forget it. If it’s the former, then the tree fort-style home would be perfect to live within. It’s centered perfectly in the middle of a forested area, supported by metal beams, and built from strong wood.
【1】Why can Satellite Home offer the best view around itself?
A. Because its outside is very interesting.
B. Because one side of this house is made of glass.
C. Because viewers can stand on its door near the top of the house.
D. Because it is centered in the middle of a forest.
【2】The underlined word “kidnapped” probably refers to “___________”.
A. taken away B. let down
C. helped out D. brought up
【3】What building materials are used for these weird homes according to this passage?
① Concrete ② Rock ③ Metal ④ Wood
A. ①②③. B. ①③④. C. ②③④. D. ①②④.
