1.  Last week as my husband and I were driving near the beach, we noticed a small house with a “For Rent” sign. We went onto the front porch and knocked at the door, but no one answered, so we walked down the steps and around to the rear of the house. There we found a small yard surrounded by a fence with an old metal gate.
Because the house was empty, we decided to take a look inside. We looked in one of the windows near the back porch and saw that the inside was dusty but in generally good condition. The walls and floors were in perfect condition. The only thing that needed repair was the ceiling in the kitchen, which had been damaged by some rainwater.
While we were looking, a neighbor came over to see who we were. The house belonged to him, so he was able to take us inside. There were a total of six rooms, and all but the kitchen and carpeting. The house was unfurnished, but there were still several pictures hanging in one of the rooms. In general, the house looked wonderful.
The landlord explained to us that the rent was ＄350 per month, due by the fifth day of each month, and that usually he required a deposit equal to one month’s rent. However, if we would repair the ceiling, he would not charge us the deposit. The idea sounded very good, so my husband and I went home to discuss things. We decided to take it.1). The couple ( ).
A.  drove to the beach for holiday
B.  happened to find a house for rent.
C. noticed a small house surrounded by a fence

2.  Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the country-side into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we‘re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society.1). Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because( ) .
A. the population of the world is increasing faster
B.  people use too many man-made materials
C. we have more industry
D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses
      满分：4  分
2). According to the passage, what does man care most among the following?
A. Health.
B. Industry.
C. Clean air
D. The future of the children
      满分：4  分
3). The story about the pilot tells us that ( ) .
A. man knows where the society is going

B. people don’t welcome the rapid development of modern society
C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
D.  the speaker is worried about the future of our society
      满分：4  分
4). What dose the writer really want to say in the passage?
A.  With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.
B. We should control the speed of the development to stop pollution.
C. It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.
D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.

5). Which of the following statements is not true?
