13、ndous technological progress we have made, its amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings-on for entertain
14、ment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified.? Are we any less bloodthirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Dont the spectators who attend them hop
15、e they will see some violence? Human beings remain as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophistic
16、ated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long ago; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting. It is really incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two m
17、en batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of “the sporting spirit“ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the
18、high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavy-weight championship match, for instance, is front-page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they hav
19、e been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple, they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionallyadmitted
20、ly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight of madmen being cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in
21、 operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change
22、that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.（分数：2.50）(1).The main idea of this passage is _.A. that vicious an
23、d dangerous sports should be banned by lawB. that people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violenceC. to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sportsD. people are bloodthirsty in sports（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).The author mentions the old Romans _.A. to compare the old Romans with tod
24、ays peopleB. to give an exampleC. to show human beings in the past knew nothing betterD. to indicate human beings used to be bloodthirsty（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(3).How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?A. Three. B. Five.C. Six. D. Seven.（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(4).The purpose of the a
25、uthor in writing this passage is _.A. that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve ourselvesB. that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the lawC. that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare systemD. to show law is the main instrument of social change（分
26、数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that the authors opinion of nowadays human beings is _.A. not very highB. highC. contemptuousD. critical（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.It was the summer of 1965. DeLuca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the f
27、uture. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,“ DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, You should open a sandwich shop.“That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal. to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1000. DeLuca rented a
28、storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls. “ All he an
29、d Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running.
30、 “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, “We are so successful, we are opening a second store.“ And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners “learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greate
31、st strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,“ DeLuca say
32、s.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,“ DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.（分数：2.50）(1).DeLuca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _.
33、A. support his familyB. pay for his college educationC. help his partner expand businessD. do some research（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is true of Buck?A. He put money into the sandwich businessB. He was a professor of business administrationC. He was studying at the University of Bri
34、dgeportD. He rented a storefront for DeLuca（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(3).What can we learn about their first shop?A. It stood at an unfavorable palceB. It lowered the prices to promote salesC. It made no profits due to poor managementD. It lacked control over the quality of sandwiches（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(4).The
35、y decided to open a second store because they _.A. had enough money to do itB. had succeeded in their businessC. wished to meet the increasing demand of customersD. wanted to make believe that they were successful（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(5).What contribute most to their success according to the author?A. L
36、earning by trial and errorB. Making friends with suppliersC. Finding a good partnerD. Opening chain stores（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses c
37、an now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witne
38、ss the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people over the world are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said th
39、at when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor car often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swea
40、r, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone hi
41、s behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be convenien
42、tly forgotten.It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial e
43、ffect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any
44、vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a persons driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum
45、 speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as se
46、vere if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor cars.（分数：2.50）(1).The main idea of this passage is that _.A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motoristsB. thousands of people over the world are killed each yearC. the laws of some
47、 countries about driving are too laxD. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author think of society toward motorists?A. Society smiles on the motorists.B. Huge car parks are built in cities and towns.C. Victims of accidents are nothing.D. Society condone
48、s their rude driving.（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(3).Why does the author say that his car becomes the extension of his personality?A. Driving can show his real self.B. Driving can show the other part of his personality.C. Driving can bring out his character.D. His car embodies his temper.（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(4).W
49、hich of the following is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A. Build more highways.B. Conduct stricter driving tests.C. Test drivers every three years.D. Raise the age limit and lay down safety specifications.（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.(5).The attitude of the author is _.A. ironical B. criticalC. appealing D. militant（分数：0.50）A.B.C.D.How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)?
