Each of the passags below is fnllowed by some questions. For each questionfour answe
15、rsare given. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of thequestions.Put your choice in the ANSWER SIIEET. (30 points)1It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the mst of petrol and the quick pace ofmodem life,but manners on the roads are beaoming horrible. Everybody knows th
16、at thenicest men becomemonsters behind the wheel. It is aU vvy well, again, to have a tiger in the tank,but to have onein the drivers seat is arnother matter altogether. You might tolerate the oddroad-hog, the rudeand inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is theexception to t
17、he rule.Perhaps the situation calls for a Be Kind to Other Drivers campaign, otherwiseit may get completelyout of hand.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the mostcool-headedand good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge whensubjected to unciviliz
18、ed behavior.On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relievingthe tensions ofmotoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act ofpoliteness helpsto create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modemtralfic conditions. Butsuch acknowle
19、dgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many driversnowadays dont evenseem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are thedriver whobrakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at solne hazard tofollow
20、ing traffic,when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man whowaves a child across azebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop intime. The samegoes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever theycare to. It always amazesm
21、e that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of thesegrannies.A veteran driver, whose mallners are faultless, told me it would help if motoristsleamt tofilter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the totalblockages that give riseto bad temper. Unfortunately, moder
22、n motorists can t even learn to drive, letalone master thesubtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that thecar-owrner-ship explosionwould demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high timefor all of us totake this message to heart.31 . According to this pass
23、age, troubles on the road are primarily caused byA. people s attitude towards the road-hogB. the rhythm of modem lifeC. the behavior of the driverD. traffic conditions32. The sentence You might tolerate the odd road-hog . . . the rule. (Para. I )implies thatA. our society is unjust towards well-mann
24、ered motoristsB. rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC. the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hogD. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists33. By good sense , the writer meansA. the driver s ability to understand and react reasonablyB. the driver s prompt re
25、sponse to difficult and severe conditionsC. the driver s tolerance of nlde or even savage behaviorD. the driver s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations34. Experts have long pointed out that in the faoe of car-owner-ship explosion,A. road users should make more sacrificeB. drlvers should be r
26、eady to yield to each otherC. drivers should have more communication among themselvesd. drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others35. In the writers opinion,A. strict traffic regulations are badly neededB. drivers should apply road politeness properlyC. rude drivers should be pu
27、nishedD. drivers should avoid traffic jams2In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror-the glassin the roof ofa greenhouse which allows the suns rays to enter but prevents the heat fromescaping.According to a weather expert s prediction, the annosphere will be 3C warmerin the
28、 year2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present tate. If thiswarming up tookplace, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea levelseveral metres andseverely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperaturewould lead to greatchange
29、s in the climate of the nonthern hemisphere, possibly resulting in analteration ofearths chief food-growing zones.In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentratedon the Arcticbecause the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But theweather expertsare n
30、ow paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by onlya few degress ofwarming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take placein the next fiftyyears from the burning of fuels.Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are alreadydispappearing
31、. The evidenceavailable suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theorythat carbon dioxidewarms the earth.However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, wheretemperatures seem tobe falling. Scientists conclude , therefore, that up to now natural influences onthe weather
32、 haveexceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has mosteffect on theweather?One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one researchstation havestudied the hot spots and cold spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots) onthe sun. As thesun rotates,
33、 every 27. 5 days, it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth,and different aspectsto different parts of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect onthe distribution ofthe earths atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. Thesun is also variableover a long term: its h
34、eat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trendbeing downward.Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weatherinteractions andthe actual climate over many thousands of years, including the last Ice Age.The problem is thatthe models are predicting that the world sho
35、uld be entering a new Ice Age andit is not. One wayof solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of yearswhile the solar effectsovercome the inenia (惯性) of the earths climate. If this is right, thewarming effect ofcarbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-ba
36、lance to the sunsdiminishing heat .36. It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere wouldA. prevent the suns rays from leeching the earths surfaceB. mean a warming up in the ArcticC. account for great changes in the climate in the noHhem hemisphereD. raise the temperat
37、ure of the earth s surface37. The article was written to explainA. the greenhouse effectB. the solar effects on the earthC. the models of solar-weather interactionsD. the causes affecting weather38. Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northem hemisphere,temperatures thereseem to be faILi
38、ng. This isA. mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are risingB. possibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingC. exclusively due to the effect of the inenia of the earth s climateD. partly due to variations in the output of solar energy39. On the basis of their models, scientists are
39、of the opinion thatA. the climate of the world should be becoming coolerB. it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earths climate to takeeffectC. the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effectsD. the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect40. If the assump
40、tion about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct,A. the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to bum more fuelsB. ice would soon cover the northern hemisphereC. the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up theearth even more quicklyD. the greenhouse effect oould
41、work to the advantage of the earth3Some people believe that intemational sport creates goodwill between thenations and that ifcountries play games together they will leam to live together. Others say thatthe opposite is true :that intemational contests encourage false national pride and lead tomisun
42、derstanding 8nd hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympicgames have donelittle to support the view that sports encourages intenational brotherhood. Notonly, was there thetragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruinedby le
43、sser incidentscaused principally bv minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after thehorkey ( 曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losersobjecting to thefinal decisions. They were convinced that one of their
44、 goals should not havebeen disallowed andthat their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when hesaid : This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the Intenational Hockey Federatior are finished. Thepresident of theFederation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the
45、team for at least threeyears .The Anlerican basketball team announced that they would not yield first place toRussia, aftera disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It wasthought at firstthat the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced thatthere wer
46、e threeseconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of thecourt to the other,and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA hadever lost anOlympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a halfhours before announcingth
47、at the result would stand. The American players then voted not toreceive the silvermedals .Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively ratherthan for thelove of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, orin non-nationalteams , might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of theOlympics there is fartoo much that encourages aggressive patriotism.41. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have_A. created goodwill between the nations
