In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting the University of Texas System adminitration for not encouraging women.The University was rated among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement. One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs. College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it is important that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks.

　　If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet.By the middle of the 21st century,if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars,for example.Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race,the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for lus to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however,has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. Sagan believes that before the earths resources are compleetely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmophere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there. Sagan proposes that algae organisms that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen,should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus.As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the alge will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon. When the algae have done theri work, the atmosphere will become cooler,but befor man can set foot on Venus it will be neccessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.

　　1.Inte long run, the most insoluble problem caused by population growth on earth will probably be the lack of ______.

　　a.food

　　b.oil

　　c.space d.resources

　　2.Carl Sagan believes that Venus might be colonized from earth because _____ a.it might be possible to change its atmosphere b.its atmosphere is the same as the earths

　　c.there is a good supply of water on Venus

　　d.the days on Venus are long enough

　　3.On Venus there is a lot of ________.

　　a.water

　　b.carbon dioxide

　　c.carbon monoxide d.oxygen

　　4.Algae are plants that can____.

　　a.live in very hot temperatures

　　b.live in very cold temperatures

　　c.manufacture oxygen d.all of the above

　　5. Man can land on Venus only when_______. a.the algae have done their work -

　　b.the atmosphere becomes cooler

　　c.thereis oxygen

　　d.it rains there

　　The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat ,it has, at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is nto a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additivies,caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this ,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes,but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 1.What is the best possible title of the passage?

　　a.Drug and Food

　　b.Cancer and Health

　　c.Food and Health d.Health and Drug 2.Which of the following statements is NOT ture? a.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

　　b.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals c.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-five years. d.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world. 3.How has science done something harmful to mankind? a.Because of science , diseases caused by polluted food haven been virtually eliminated. b.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food. c.Because of the application of science,some potentially harmful substances have been added to food. d.The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables.

　　4.What are nitrates used for?

　　a.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.

　　b.They preserve the color of meats. c.They are the objects of research. d.They cause the animals to become fatter.

　　5.The word carcinogenic most nearly means _____.
