Anyway，its better to live than not to live at all. ” A lively discussion followed. A banker，who was then younger and more nervous
11、 than the lawyer，suddenly lost his temper and cried out，“Its a lie. I bet you two millions. You wouldnt stick in a cell even for five years. ” “If you mean it，”replied the young lawyer，“I bet Ill stay there longer；make it fifteen instead of five. ” “Fifteen!Done!”cried the banker. “Gentleman. I bet
12、you two millions. ” “Agreed. Two millions for my freedom，”said the lawyer. So this wild，ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement. During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly，“Come to your senses，young man，before its too late. Two millions are nothing to me，but you stand
13、 to lose three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because youll never stick it out any longer. Dont forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in th
14、e cell. I pity you. ” And now the banker，pacing from comer to comer，recalled all this and asked himself，“Why did I make this bet?Whats the good?The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions. Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonmen

18、asonablePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Online learning is also called distance education，which helps students who take classes by computer over the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree. And it has become more and more popular with both young people a
19、nd educational institutions. The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992. Its Virtual School has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other countries. Last year，the school launched NYU Online. It off
20、ers NYUs first online programs for a bachelors degree. Programs are offered in three areas：leadership and management，information systems management and social sciences. The classes are highly interactive，where students communicate with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to
21、log in at the same time 80 they can attend live lectures by a professor. Students can also ask questions and work together on team projects.

22、d for international students in this program. If you are interested in the program，you can get more details at the website：www. nyu. edu. Many other schools，too，offer online education.

23、own as diploma mills，and are illegal in the United States. Educational advisers also say that before you enter any program，make sure the work will be recognized in your country. You should also make sure the schools you are considering are officially approved. （分数：10.00）(1).The third paragraph is ma
24、inly about the_of the programs of the School.（分数：2.00）A.academic goal and systemB.courses and learning modeC.learning methods and classesD.courses and requirements(2).It can be inferred from the passage that international students in the programs_.（分数：2.00）A.get full scholarshipB.pay no tuitionC.get

27、B.the number of students a professor instructsC.the number of semesters a student spendsD.the number of presentations a student makesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. An understanding of mans effect on the balance of nature is crucial(关键的)to being able to find the a
28、ppropriate remedial action. It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effec
29、t they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment，but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole. For example，tropical forests are known to be essential to the balance of nature，yet we are destroying them at a gre
30、at rate. They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country，but to satisfy the needs of rich countries. Central American forests are being destroyed for grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper；in Papua New Guinea，forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packag
31、ing for Japanese electronic products；in Burma and Thailand，forests have been destroyed to produce mole attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong. Therefore，a rich person living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a poor person living in the forest itself. In
32、 short，it is everybodys duty to safeguard the future of mankind-not only through population control，but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature. Nature is both fragile and powerful. It is very easily destroyed；on the other hand，it can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy-man.

35、l countries should bring the population growth under control(3).The purpose of the second paragraph is mainly to illustrate_.（分数：2.00）A.how the forests in the U. S. are being destroyedB.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of natureC.what Japan has done to develop its own economyD.how So
36、uth Asian countries make quality furniture(4).Nature is very easily destroyed by_.（分数：2.00）A.rich peopleB.poor peopleC.natural disastersD.mankind(5).The topic of the passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.the control of population is essential to the development of a nationB.natural resources are important to

We use our own energy constantly and we continually make use of all kinds of energy. Energy can be divided into two different types：stored energy and dynamic energy. Stored energy is caned potential energy，and the latter refers to energy in motion. If you stretch out a rubber band，this produces potential energy. If you let it go，it moves and produces the dynamic energy.（分数：15.00）_
