15、 and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.（分数：10.00）_In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the death penalty, some us
16、e the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later pro
17、ved, had been committed by someone else. The pro-hanging lobby(赞成极刑的活动集团)uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murderers would think twice before committing the act if they knew tha
18、t they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed. The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crime, he should accept the co
19、nsequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian(人道主义的). But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figure
20、s do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for executions and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen. The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a m
21、atter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge.（分数：10.00）(1).All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT（分数：
22、2.00）A.the electric chairB.the lethal injectionC.the poisonous gasD.the shooting(2).According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT correct?（分数：2.00）A.Ruth Ellis was shot by her lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion.B.The death penalty may help the potentia
23、l murderers to arouse moral awareness.C.The intentional murderer should eat his own bitter fruit.D.According to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe as the injury suffered.(3).In Paragraph 3, “deterrence“ means_.（分数：2.00）A.proclamationB.protestC.preventionD.protection(4).We can lea
24、rn from the last paragraph that_.（分数：2.00）A.neither the state nor the individual has the right to take a lifeB.the state has the right to take a life but the individual does notC.the death penalty has nothing to do with individual conscience and beliefD.the deterrence figures have added up and the e
25、xecution rate has fallen(5).The passage is mainly about_.（分数：2.00）A.the argument in favor of the death penaltyB.the argument against the death penaltyC.the argument about the abolition of the death penaltyD.the argument about the reintroduction of the death penaltyDo you forget to turn off the light
26、s and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human(and, with luck, ignore the dog!)and turn the sys
27、tems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again. The sensors will work through the central computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot ha
28、rm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electr
29、onic. You will open them using your personal cardthe one you use for shoppingmaybe using a number known only to you. It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper(拨弄)with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the c
30、omputer. The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment“ will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than j
31、ust watching.（分数：10.00）(1).The author intends to tell us that_.（分数：2.00）A.in 2040 we will live without the lights and heatersB.in 2040 we will use much more lights and heatersC.in 2040 lights and heaters will be on and off automaticallyD.in 2040 there will be no switches of lights and heaters(2).Whi
32、ch of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.You can be taken for an intruder if you tamper with the lock or with a window.B.The sensor will detect fire and make an emergency call.C.Without a computer, the sensor can not do much.D.The sensor is multi-functional.(3).According to the author,
33、in 2040, new technology_.（分数：2.00）A.will turn everything into sensorsB.will free us from the keys we use todayC.will make the locks out of dateD.will eliminate all crimes(4).Thanks to computers, in 2040 people_.（分数：2.00）A.will have no entertainment outsideB.will replace TV with computersC.will be co
34、ntrolled by computersD.will have more fun at home(5).The best title for the passage might be_.（分数：2.00）A.Life at Home in the Year 2040B.Sensors and ComputersC.The Development of Science and TechnologyD.Lights and Heaters in the Year 2040With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is m
35、aking a concerted and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging. A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the
36、 incapability of finding a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo. Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting(空投)the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas wil
37、l eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors. A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas plight has resul
38、ted in a new $ 100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund drives both in China and abroad. In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists wi
39、th Chinas ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization. Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trucks still roll down the narrow mountain roa
40、ds, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away. This all means that the pandas fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they
41、must still contend with man himself.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following threatens the pandas survival in the Wolong Preserve?（分数：2.00）A.Local population.B.Economic development.C.Unfavorable environment.D.All of the above.(2).All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCE
42、PT_.（分数：2.00）A.the large-scale fund-raising drivesB.the reproduction of panda offspring during captivityC.the rescue of the injured and the sickD.the cultivation of new bamboo forests(3).It can be inferred from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the pand
43、a relief programB.it is too late to rescue the endangered pandasC.the survival of pandas is an international concernD.the lovely pandas will soon die out(4).Efforts to save the endangered pandas_.（分数：2.00）A.have met with setbacks but brought hopeB.have proven highly successfulC.have failed completel
44、yD.have received no response from the scientists(5).The tone of the authors conclusion concerning pandas survival is_.（分数：2.00）A.worriedB.optimisticC.angryD.impersonalRevenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People dont like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more
45、satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome coworkers, gossiping friends, or nagging family members. Coworkers who m
46、ake comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is get up extra early one day. Before the sun comes up, drive to each coworkers house. Reach under the hood of your coworkers car and disconnect the center wire that lea
47、ds to the distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If youre lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise. Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a
48、 simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriend will be there. The girl wont know whats going on, and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably wont leave his home for a month. When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may
