12、lution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollut
13、ion has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentrati
14、on of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world“s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world“s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of t
15、he polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water. Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth“s temperaturea result that would be equally disastrous. A drop o
16、f just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field conc
17、luded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world“s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.（分数：10.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _.（分数
18、：2.00）A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaging effect on healthD.existed merely in urban and industries areas(2).As to the greenhouse effect, the author _.（分数：2.00）A.shares the same view with the scientistsB.is uncertain of it
19、s occurrenceC.rejects it as being ungroundedD.thinks that it will destroy the world soon(3).The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by _.（分数：2.00）A.slip intoB.make up forC.set upD.catch up with(4).It can be concluded that _.（分数：2.00）A.raising the world“s temperature only a few de
20、grees would not do much harm to life on earthB.lowering the world“s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC.almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD.the world“s temperature will remain constant in the years to come(5).This passage
21、 is primarily about _.（分数：2.00）A.the greenhouse effectB.the burning of fossil fuelsC.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice age四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book, “Uncle Tom“s Cabin“. But neither she nor her fi
22、rst publisher thought it would be a big success. The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress. But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1602, they sold out in two
23、days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England. For a while it outsold (销得比多) every book in the world, except the Bible. Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America“s most po
24、pular play for 55 years. It might appear that“ Uncle Tom“s Cabin“ was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War daysparticularly defenders of the slavery systemcondemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama (传奇剧作品). Harriet did have s
25、trong religious views against slavery (When asked how she came to write the book, she replied, “God wrote it.“), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so perhaps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of sla
26、very. Though she was born in Connecticut, 1582, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary (神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action. She lived 18 yea
27、rs in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1601, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book. Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians (历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War. In f
28、act, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war.“（分数：10.00）(1).Before the publication of the book “Uncle Tom“s Cabin“ _.（分数：2.00）A.Harriet knew that it would be a great successB.the publisher wanted Harriet
29、 to publish it at her own expenseC.nobody knew that it would become a very popular bookD.no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book(2).Some people did not like “Uncle Tom“s Cabin“ chiefly because _.（分数：2.00）A.the author was merely an unknown little ladyB.they thought it was mere propagand
30、aC.the book was poorly writtenD.the book might lead to a terrible war(3).Harriet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because _.（分数：2.00）A.she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legalB.she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery systemC.she had witnessed what h
31、appened under the slavery systemD.she had read a lot about the slavery system(4).When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet “the little lady who started this big war“, he _.（分数：2.00）A.thought that she was almost a war criminalB.was talking about the great influence her book had producedC.was blaming her fo
32、r the miseries the people had suffered during the warD.was praising her for the contributions she had made during the war(5).The writer wrote the passage in order to _.（分数：2.00）A.expose the evils of the slavery systemB.condemn all kinds of warC.describe people“s life in Harriet“s timeD.tell us how H
33、arriet wrote her famous book五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)“Equal pay for equal work“ is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are unfairly treated by society. They say it is not fight for women to be paid less than men for the same work. Some people say men have more duties than women.
34、 A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is fight for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged
35、 by equal pay to take fulltime jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life,
36、 or a mixture of the two. Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances.（分数：10.00）(1).The women use the phrase “equal pay for equal work“ to ask society to _.（分数：2.00）A.pay men less than womenB.give women harder workC.pay men and women the same amount of money for the same wor
37、kD.pay people more who do harder work(2).Some people believe that _.（分数：2.00）A.women can“t do what men canB.men have to work much harder than womenC.men can earn money more easily than womenD.men“s duties are different from women“s(3).Some people holding even stronger opinions say that _.（分数：2.00）A.
38、women should be kind to their husbandsB.women are too weak to take full-time jobsC.home is the best pace for womenD.women should only take part-time jobs(4).The women who disagree say that _.（分数：2.00）A.women need chances to go out of the home more oftenB.women want more freedom in deciding what kind
39、 of life they wantC.women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesD.if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men(5).According to this passage some women want to give up _.（分数：2.00）A.their present position in societyB.their marriageC.their right to equal payD.thei
40、r home life六、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)We all know that DNA has the ability to identify individuals but, because it is inherited, there are also regions of the DNA strand which can relate an individual to his or her family (immediate and extended), tribal group and even an entire population. Molecula
41、r Genealogy (宗谱学) can use this unique identification provided by the genetic markers to link people together into family trees. Pedigrees (家谱) based on such genetic markers can mean a breakthrough for family trees where information is incomplete or missing due to adoption, illegitimacy or lack of re
42、cords. There are many communities and populations which have lost precious records due to tragic events such as the fire in the Irish courts during Civil War in 1921 or American slaves for whom many records were never kept in the first place. The main objective of the Molecular Genealogy Research Gr
43、oup is to build a database containing over 100,000 DNA samples from individuals all over the world. These individuals will have provided a pedigree chart of at least four generations and a small blood sample. Once the database has enough samples to represent the world genetic make-up, it will eventu
44、ally help in solving many issues regarding genealogies that could not be done by relying only on traditional written records. Theoretically, any individual will someday be able to trace his or her family origins through this database. In the meantime, as the database is being created, molecular gene
45、alogy can already verify possible or suspected relationships between individuals. “For example, if two men sharing the same last name believe that they are related, but no written record proves this relationship, we can verify this possibility by collecting a sample of DNA from both and looking for
46、common markers (in this case we can look primarily at the Y chromosome (染色体),“ explains Ugo Perego, a member of the BYU Molecular Genealogy research team.（分数：10.00）(1).People in a large area may possess the same DNA thread because _.（分数：2.00）A.DNA is characteristic of a regionB.they are beyond doubt
47、 of common ancestryC.DNA strand has the ability to identify individualsD.their unique identification can be provided via DNA(2).The possible research of family trees is based on the fact that _.（分数：2.00）A.genetics has achieved a breakthroughB.genetic information contained in DNA can be revealed nowC
48、.each individual carries a unique record of who he is and how he is related to othersD.we can use DNA to prove how distant an individual is to a family, a group or a population(3).The Molecular Genealogy Research Group is building a database for the purpose of _.（分数：2.00）A.offering assistance in wor
49、king out genealogy-related problemsB.solving many issues without relying on traditional written recordsC.providing a pedigree chart of at least four generations in the worldD.confirming the assumption that all individuals are of the same origin(4).If two men suspected for some reason they have a common ancestor, _.（分数：2.00）A.we can decide according to their family treeB.we can find the truth from their genetic markersC.we can compare the differences in their Y chromosomeD.we
