Ⅲ.閱讀理解
Counting the world's population may seem a bit like counting the stars in the sky, but not if you know how to go about it the right way. And there are as many ways to do it as there are countries, the United Nations recently discovered at a four-day seminar (研討會) attended by number-happy statisticians (統計員) from 55 countries. The idea was to see how countries are using technology to make the census (人口普查) more manageable and accurate.
The software technology leader of South East Asia, Singapore, carries out its census the cool way. It puts questionnaires on the Internet. For its census in 2000, Brazil used palm top computers and mobile phones to get data from the remotest parts of the Amazon. India for its 2001 census, used the television medium to spread the message of the census and its importance.
Turkey, on the other hand, has simpler methods to
ensure that everyone is counted: the army sets up roadblocks all over the country! And in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, people coming forward to be counted get a lottery ticket, with the winner getting a house for free, as the prize.
In 1995, the UN started a 10-year exercise, to analyse the census systems of various countries and see how they could be made more efficient, so that even if technologies change, the basic efficiency of the census method remained.
One of the interesting facts that came to light at the seminar was that while people in developing countries are more willing to get themselves counted, citizens of developed countries, such as the USA, do not take kindly to “government-sponsored visits”.
1.The passage mainly tells us
________.
A.about a four-day seminar on population control
B.about the different ways used to count population
C.about the UN's efforts to count the world's population
D.about efficient way of counting population
【答案與解析】 B 文章主要談論的是各個國家普查人口所使用的方式。
2.Of the countries mentioned in the passage, which of the countries used high-tech to count their population?
A.Singapore, Brazil and Turkey.
B.Turkey, Brazil and Kyrgyzstan.
C.Singapore, Turkey and India.
D.India, Singapore and Brazil.
【答案與解析】 D 使用高科技手段的有三個國家:Singapore→Internet;Brazil→computer;India→TV。
3.In this passage the word “questionnaire” probably means
________.
A.a list of questions asked in order to collect information
B.a place where questions are put up for people to read
C.a person who is asked to answer a certain question
D.a people who asks people questions to collect information
【答案與解析】 A 根據主語it和謂語put判斷,這個詞的意思是“問卷”。
4.People in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan would like to be counted because
________.
A.they realize the importance of the census
B.they want to make the census more accurate
C.they want to get an apartment without paying any money
D.the government's way of counting is more advanced
【答案與解析】 C 根據第3段的“with the winner getting a house for free, as the prize...”可知,他們可以免費得到一套住房。5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.People in poorer countries don't like themselves to be counted.
B.People in rich countries support the census.
C.People in developed countries are not willing to be counted.
D.People in poor countries know the importance of the census while those in rich ones don't.
【答案與解析】 C 可根據“do not take kindly to ‘government-sponsored visits’”判斷。
Ⅳ.短文改錯

They often do housework of the weekend. Young kids only do easy housework. So they don't get many money. They help wash up before dinner and feed the family cat or dog. When they get to older, they often wash the family car, cut grass or cook dinners. Some jobs are a good way for kids learn new things. For example, they can learn what to cook. Of course, their parents help them in first.
