You can carry this ***mparison right through *** the pro***sion of spare parts. Never f***get that such operations are pa***ful experiences, however ***od the resu***s. At what po***t ***uld you cease *** treat the old body? Is it m***ally right *** try *** push off death by pur?su***g the develop***nt of drugs *** excite the f***getful old m***d and *** activate the old body, know***g that it is desig***d *** die? You cannot ask doc***rs *** scientists *** decide, bec***se so long as they can see the techn***al opp***tunities, they will feel bound *** give them a try on the pr***ciple that while there's ***fe, there's hope.
When you talk *** the old people, however, you are f***c*** *** the ***nclusion that whether age is happy *** unpleasant depends less on mo***y r on hea***h than it does on your abi***ty *** h**e fun

Passage Two
The man who br***gs my milk us*** *** knock f*** his mo***y f*** the week' s milk while I was eat***g breakfast on Saturday m***n***g. Just lately he has been arri***ng bef***e I get up. Staff ***rtages ***an that four ***n are shar***g five rounds, so he has *** start ear***er.
De***ver***g milk *** people's ho***s is scarcely ***od bus***ess, especially when the cus******r may h**e a cho***e of two *** three firms ser***ng a s***gle road. In spite of my local diff***u***ies, however, labour troubles are not as acute as a few years a***. There are enough ***n prepar*** *** make an early m***n***g start f*** the sake of an open-air job with a fair ***asure of fre***om. If they did s***p cal***ng, wo***n would f***d it hard w***k *** ***llect all the milk they ****** from self-ser***ce s***res.

So*** milk***n de***ver pota***es, and it seems as though diversif***ation will be ***mit*** o***y by the size of the vans.
So the milkman is ***kely *** rema*** a fami***ar figure, and the dairy products he sells are u***ikely *** change very much *** this decade. Fl**our*** milk is popular on the ***nt***ent. In Brita*** those who ***ke it buy pla*** milk and add their own fl**our***g. Even the returnable bottle ***nt***ues *** be us***. As long as it has a reasonable ***fe — 30 *** 40 trips are usual — the ***st of ***llection and clean***g is w***thwhile.
36. The milkman now starts ear***er on his de***very rounds than bef***e bec***se

B. there is an ***creas*** demand f*** milk
C. dairies are ***rt of de***very***n and each de***veryman has *** do m***e w***k

Passage Three
The school is a ***mplex social structure, exist***g *** its own right yet surround*** by other groups wh***h *** so*** extent ***ntrol and ***fluence it. Indi***duals *** a school are subject *** a variety of pressures both with*** the school and outside 'it. What are these ***fluences, and where do they ***ig***ate?
There are four maj*** ele***nts wh***h produce and receive ***fluences: the teacher, the child, the school itself and the outer ***mmunity. These four ele***nts will ***fluence and be / ***fluenc*** by each other at many levels *** a variety of ways. The teacher, f*** example, br***gs ****** the school all his own habits of m***d, attitudes, be***efs, values, ways of do***g th***gs and see***g the w***ld wh***h he was ***herit*** from the society *** wh***h he was brought up. These fac***rs will ***fluence the children, the school and the ***mmunity outside. The child br***gs ******. the school everyth***g wh***h he has lear***d *** his family—habits, attitudes, be***efs etc. —and the teacher and the school will respond *** these. The school itself is a social ***ganization with special require***nts of beh**i***, ***fluenc*** by the ge***rally a***ept*** values and traditions of ***ucation, bui*** up over the years. Both the child and the teacher must adapt themselves *** these. The school ***fluences the wider ***mmunity around it, both by produc***g the manpower with the skills ********* by society, and by shap***g the be***efs and attitudes of the young enter***g society. As f*** the ***mmunity, it ***fluences the actual ***ganization of the school through such groups as ***v?ern***s, parent—teacher associations, adm***istra***rs etc., and *** a less f***mal way, it is rep?resent*** by those w***k***g *** the school, the children, the teachers and the ser***c***g staff.
With all these fac***rs *** m***d, it is ob***ous that schools may differ greatly a******d***g *** the nature of the ***mmunity wh***h they serve. Every area has its own geograph***al, e***?nom*** and his***r***al character wh***h may be reflect*** *** the school. F*** example, a school ser***ng a ***mmunity wh***h is dom***at*** by o*** maj*** ***dustry may ****** *** ***ganize itself a******d***g *** the expectations of job opp***tunities wh***h will be **ailable *** the children as they le**e *** f***d w***k. A school *** a remote rural area may be slant*** *** a different di?rection. Similarly, the presence *** the ***ighb***hood of o*** part***ular social class, race *** re***gion may be reflect*** *** the school.
41. By say***g "the school is a ***mplex social structure, " the ***th*** ***ans that ___.
A. the school is exist***g *** a ***mplex society
B. the school is ***ganiz*** *** much the sa*** way that the society is ***ganiz***
C. the school is always ***ntroll*** by ***fluential ***di***duals
D.the school is always ***fluenc*** by the people with*** and outside it
42. A******d***g *** the ***th***, the teacher of a school must _____ .
A. understand the nature of the outer ***mmunity
B. respect the children's habits, attitudes, be***efs, etc.
C. ***et the beh**ioural require***nts of the school
D. acquire the skills ********* by the society
43 .The ***mmunity ***fluences the ***ganization of school through____.
A. adm***istra***rs and ***vern***s
B. teachers and children
C. those w***k***g *** the school
D. all of the above
44. Wh***h of the follow***g may NOT be reflect*** *** the school?
A. The expectations of job opp***tunities *** the ***arby ***dustry.
B. The social gather***gs *** the ***ighb***hood.
C. The geograph***al character of the ***mmunity.
D. The re***gious be***ef of the ***mmunity ***mbers.
45. From the passage we may draw the ***nclusion that ______.
A. the four ele***nts often ***fluence the social structure
B. the four ele***nts are usually ***separable
C. the four ele***nts always affect each other
D. the four ele***nts may be dom***at*** by the maj*** ***dustry *** the ***mmunity
Passage Four
In 1993, New Y***k State ***der*** s***res *** charge a depo*** on beverage ***nta***ers. With*** a year, ***nsu***rs had retur***d mil***ons of alum***um cans and glass and plast*** bottles. Plenty of ***mpanies were eager *** a***ept the alum***um and glass as raw materials f*** ***w products, but bec***se few ***uld figure out what *** do with the plast***, much of it wound up buri*** *** landfills. The problem was not ***mit*** *** New Y***k. Unf***tunately, there were ***o few uses f*** se***nd |hand plast***.
Today, o*** out of five plast*** soda bottles is recycl*** *** the Unit*** States. The reason f*** the change is that now there are dozens of ***mpanies across the ***untry buy***g discard*** plast*** soda bottles and turn***g them ****** fence posts, pa***t brushes, etc.
As the New Y***k experience ***ws, recyc***ng ***volves m***e than simply separat***g valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard rema***s a discard until so***body figures out how *** give it a se***nd ***fe — and until e***nom*** arrange***nts exist *** give that se***nd ***fe value. Without adequate markets *** abs***b materials ***llect*** f*** recyc***ng, throwaways actually depress pr***es f*** us*** materials.
Shr***k***g landfill space, and ris***g ***sts f*** bury***g and burn***g rubbish are f***c***g local ***vern***nts *** look m***e closely at recyc***ng. In many areas, the East ***ast especially, recyc***ng is already the least expensive waste-manage***nt option. F*** every ***n of waste recycl***, a city **oids pay***g f*** its disposal, wh***h, *** parts of New Y***k, amounts *** s*****gs of m***e than $100 per ***n. Recyc***ng also stimulates the local e***nomy by creat***g jobs and trims the pollution ***ntrol and e***rgy ***sts of ***dustries that make recycl*** products by gi***ng them a m***e ref****** raw material.
46. What regulation was issu*** by New Y***k State ***ncern***g beverage ***nta***ers?
A. Beverage ***mpanies ***uld be responsible f*** ***llect***g and r***s***g discard*** plast*** soda bottles.
B. Throwaways ***uld be ***llect*** by the state f*** recyc***ng.
C. A fee ***uld be charg*** on us*** ***nta***ers f*** recyc***ng.
D. ***nsu***rs had *** pay f*** beverage ***nta***ers and ***uld get their mo***y back on return***g them.
47. The retur***d plast*** bottles *** New Y***k us*** *** ________.
A. end up so***where underground
B. be tur***d ****** raw materials
