四、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
本部分有两篇短文,每篇短文后有五个问题,每个问题有四个选项,选择最佳答案完成句子。错选、多选或未选均无分。
Passage 1
The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and justifies the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society, the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.
56. A small population may mean ______.
A.higher productivity, but a lower average income
B.lower productivity, but a higher average income
C.lower productivity and a lower average income
D.higher productivity and a higher average income
57. A large population will provide a chance for developing ______.
A. scope                           B. transport system
C. species                         D. national economy
58.In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if ______.
A.the birthrate goes up
B.the birthrate goes down
C.the birthrate remains stable
D.there is a great demand for manufactured goods
59. According to the passage, slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for ______.
A.a developing nation
B.a developed nation
C.every nation with a big population
D.every nation with a small population
60. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because ______.
A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world
B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development
C. different governments have different views of the question
D. even the developed countries may have more complex problems

 Passage 2

A major new development in systems of work in Britain is taking place. Flexible working hours, or “Flextime”, are catching on fast, and this trend is continuing. In 1973, over 500 organizations adopted the idea, and by 1974, this number had risen to over 200, 000.
Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 1960’s, but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to start and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain “key” times in day, and secondly, that all workers must work an agreed total number of hours per week.
The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, avoidance of the need to travel during rush hours and the ability to be able to finish a certain task before leaving.
From the employer’s point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workers a greater sense of duty.
61. Flexible working hours were firstly invented by the ______.
A. British                         B. Americans
C. Germans                         D. Japanese
62.According to “Flextime” system, workers must ______.
A.work an agreed total number of hours per week
B.work all the weekdays
C.go to work at weekends
D.go to work in the early morning
63.“Key” time is a period when ______.
A. visitors come to the plants
B. all workers must be at work
C. employers go round in the workshops
D. rush hours are over
64. No matter where it is used, “Flextime” system has proved ______.
A. entirely effective
B. a complete failure
C. to be disliked by the employers
D. too difficult to carry out
65. One of the main advantages of “Flextime” for workers is that they ______.
A. can get more free time
B. can avoid busy traffic
C. can get higher pay
D. can avoid working hard
