Humans are able to (21) , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, (2
12、2) world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it (23) to human behavior we infer meaning and (24) to make the behavior understandable.(25) all this means is that people develop “quasi theories“ of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a(an) (26) , sci
13、entific manner. When doing so, people believe they know (27) humans do the things they do.Lets consider an example. In the United States people have been (28) with the increasing amount of crime for several years. The extent of crime bothers us; we ourselves could be victims. But it (29) bothers us
14、that people behave in such ways. Why can such things happen? We develop quasi theories. We (30) concerned about the high crime rate, but we now believe we (31) it: our criminal justice system is (32) ; people have grown selfish and inconsiderate as our moral values weaken (33) the influence of liber
15、al ideas; too many people are (34) drugs. These explanations suggest possible solutions. (35) the courts; put more people in jail as examples to other lawbreaker. There is now hope that the problem of crime can be solved if only we (36) these solutions. Again, the world is no longer meaningless nor
16、(37) so threatening. These quasi theories (38) serve a very important function for us. But how accurate are they? How (39) will the suggested solutions be? These questions must be answered with (40) to how people normally go about developing or attaining their quasi theories of human behavior.（分数：10

22、mited resources among countries. In the international development community, the conventional wisdom has been that the 2 billion people living in poor countries could never expect to reach the standard of living that most of us in North America enjoy, simply because the world does not contain enough
23、 iron ore, protein, petroleum, and so on. At the same time, we in the United States have continued to pursue super affluence as though there were no limits on how much we could consume. We make up 6 percent of the worlds people; yet we consume one-third of the worlds resources.As long as the resourc
24、es we consumed each year came primarily from within our own boundaries, this was largely an internal matter. But as our resources come more and more from the outside world, “outsiders“ are going to have some say over the rate at which and terms under which we consume. We will no longer be able to th
25、ink in terms of “our“ resources and “their“ resources, but only of common resources.As Americans consuming such a disproportionate share of the worlds resources, we have to question whether or not we can continue our pursuit of super affluence in a world of scarcity. We are now reaching the point wh
26、ere we must carefully examine the presumed link between our level of well-being and the level of material goods consumed. If you have only one crust of bread and get another crust of bread, your well-being is greatly enhanced. But if you have a loaf of bread, then an additional crust of bread doesnt
27、 make that much difference. In the eyes of most of the world today, Americans have their loaf of bread and are asking for still more. People elsewhere are beginning to ask why. This is the question were going to have to answer, whether were trying to persuade countries to step up their exports of oi
28、l to us or trying to convince them that we ought to be permitted to maintain our share of the world fish catch.The prospect of a scarcity of, and competition for, the worlds resources requires that we reexamine the way in which we relate to the rest of the world. It means we find ways of cutting bac
29、k on resource consumption that is dependent on the resources and cooperation of other countries. We cannot expect people in these countries to concern themselves with our worsening energy and food shortages unless we demonstrate some concern for the hunger, illiteracy and disease that are diminishin
30、g life for them.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer warns Americans that _. A. their excessive consumption has caused world resource exhaustionB. they are confronted with the problem of how to obtain more material goodsC. their unfair share of the worlds resources should give way to proper division among count
31、riesD. they have to discard their cars for lack of fossil fuel in the world（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, it has long been believed that _.A. people in poor countries scarcely know how to enjoy a high standard of livingB. the worlds resources being limited, people in underdeveloped c
32、ountries are bound to live a poor lifeC. most Americans know that the worlds resources of many kinds are becoming scarceD. it is impossible for all the people in the world to improve their living standards（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).By “common resources“ (Paragraph 2), the author means that _.A. the resour
33、ces possessed by the United States should be shared by other countriesB. Americans have the right to consume resources both from their home country and from abroadC. it is difficult to distinguish the resources possessed by America from those possessed by other countriesD. all the resources in the w
34、orld should be shared by all the countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer gives the example of bread to show that _.A. the United States has been much richer than any other countriesB. the United States has acquired more than what it has contributedC. the United States has been too greedy in its pur
35、suit of super affluenceD. the United States is more capable of pursuing affluence than other countries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What is the conclusion of this passage?A. The United States will be isolated if it does not stop pursuing super affluence.B. The poor countries will no longer supply the United
36、States with their goods.C. The United States should care about the well-being of other countries.D. It is time for the Americans to help the people in poor countries to improve their living standards.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Global energy demand is expected to triple by mid-cent
37、ury. The earth is unlikely to run out of fossil fuels by then, given its vast reserves of coal, but it seems unthinkable that we will continue to use them as we do now. Its not just a question of supply and price, or even of the disease caused by filthy air. The terrorist assault on the World Trade
38、Center raises other scary scenarios: how much easier would it be to crack open the Trans-Alaska pipeline and how much deadlier would it be to bomb a nuclear plant than to attack a wind arm?Skeptics may recall the burst of enthusiasm for conservation and renewable power when oil prices quadrupled in
39、the 1970s. State-funded energy research and development surged, while tax incentives boosted solar, wind and other alternatives to petroleum and the atom. But when oil supplies loosened and prices dropped in the early 1990s, governments lost interest. In the state of California, subsidies evaporated
40、, pushing wind companies into bankruptcy.Clean energy has long way to go. Only 2.2% of the worlds energy comes from “new“ renewables such as small hydroelectric dams, wind, solar and geothermal. How to boost that share-and at what pace-is debated in industrialized nations-from Japan, which imports 9
41、9.7 % of its oil, to Germany, where the nearby Chernobyl accident turned the public against nuclear plants, to the U.S., where the Bush Administration has strong ties to the oil industry. But the momentum toward clean renewables is undeniable. How soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy
42、depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: When the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick into compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from renewable sources.While developed nations debate how to fuel t
43、heir power plants, however, some 1.6 billion people-a quarter of the globes population-have no access to electricity or gasoline. Many spend their days collecting firewood and cow dung, burning it in primitive stoves that belch smoke into their lungs. To emerge from poverty, they need modern energy.
44、 And renewables can help. From village-scale hydropower to household photovoltaic systems to bio-gas stoves that convert dung into fuel.Ultimately, the earth can meet its energy needs without fouling the environment. “But it wont happen,“ asserts Thomas Johansson, an energy adviser to the United Nat
45、ions Development Program, “without political will.“ To begin with, widespread government subsidies for fossil fuels and nuclear energy must be dismantled to level the playing field for renewables. Moreover, government should pressure utility to meet targets for renewable sources of energy.（分数：10.00）
46、(1).The authors biggest worry about using nuclear energy is that _.A. it will do great harm to the inadequate reserves of coalB. it is deadly if terrorists attack a nuclear plantC. it will limit the development of many other alternativesD. there will be a wider gap between developed and developing c
47、ountries（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The renewable energy research lost support from governments in the early 1990s because _.A. skeptics were becoming doubtful about the efficiency of renewablesB. renewables could not meet the increasing energy needs of the societyC. it was much easier and cheaper to use o
48、il than beforeD. the investment into the field was not worth its value（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which one of the following applies to the use of renewables in developed nations?A.

49、erce energy revolution.C. Developed nations ties with the oil industry are becoming tense.D. Developed nations havent reached a consensus about using more renewables.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. it will be impossible for wind and solar energy to completely replace fossil fuelsB. high technology plays a vital role in the trend toward clean energyC. the development of a nation will inevitably
