25、Reading Co(总题数：3，分数：3.00)There was one thought that air pollution 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
26、occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution 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 pollutio
27、n. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration 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
28、world s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the 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 tem
29、perature a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of 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 farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one r
30、ecent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. （分数：1.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of
31、 the passage, people used to think that air pollution_.（分数：0.20）A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaged effect on healthD.existed merely in urban and industries areas.(2).As to the greenhouse effect, the author_.（分数：0.20）A.sha
32、res the same view with the scientistsB.is uncertain of its 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：0.20）A.slip intoB.make up forC.set upD.catch up with(4).It can be concluded that_.（
33、分数：0.20）A.raising the world s temperature only a few degrees 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 worlds temperature wil
34、l remain constant in the years to come(5).This passage is primarily about_.（分数：0.20）A.the greenhouse effectB.the burning of fossil fuelsC.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice ageFinishing teachers evaluations need maturity and objectivity. Every semester we have the opp
35、ortunity to evaluate our instructors. We are supposed to judge their lectures, interest in students problems, methods of assigning work, and general ability to conduct a class. Then, when the instructor has left the room, we must write our evaluations on the forms provided. We are not sup-posed to e
36、xchange view or discuss our responses. After everyone has completed the forms, one student collects and tallies the responses and then puts them in an envelope and makes them sealed. It is very difficult to evaluate another persons performance objectively. For example, Senta recently wrote irrespons
37、ible remarks about her instructor because she was falling to pass the course. Her friend Sam wrote a marvelous description of the same instructor because he received an A in the course. Both Senta and Sam were not fairly evaluating the instructor. They were affected by the grades they were earning a
38、nd were biased in their judgments. Another irresponsible form of evaluation occurred when James rated his instructor excellent be- cause the instructor is “easy“. He gives few tests and only assigns one paper during the entire term. His lectures are often full of jokes and endless stories. On the ot
39、her hand, James rated Pro fessor Jones poor because he assigns text work dally, gives pretest and post test reviews, and packs his lectures with a lot of information. （分数：1.00）(1).Student should evaluate their instructors _.（分数：0.20）A.by discussing opinions with classmatesB.by rating the instructors
40、 interest in students problemC.by discussing opinions with instructorsD.by rating instructors humorous remarks(2).Teacher evaluations should be written in _.（分数：0.20）A.an objective wayB.an irresponsible wayC.a biased wayD.an irrational way(3).Irresponsible evaluations consist of _.（分数：0.20）A.biased
41、answersB.fairly written answersC.information based on teachers performanceD.well thought out judgments(4).Senta and Sam are both influenced by _.（分数：0.20）A.the instructors teaching abilityB.the professors humorous storiesC.the grades that they are earningD.the long assignments given(5).James is infl
42、uenced by _.（分数：0.20）A.the quality of the lecturesB.his own performanceC.the instructors personalityD.both A and CIn 1954 a turning point in medical history, resulting from applied bionics, was the first“ open heart“ surgery done in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Dr. W. Lilleheis techniques for the firs
43、t time allowed the patient to be operated on while blood was supplied to the patient from a donor. Today “open heart“ surgery ,using more complicated methods and bionic devices, is common in the United States. Important technological advances such as those already mentioned have encouraged scientist
44、s to develop the artificial heart. Early in 1983,in its first use by a human patient, a medical team at the University of Utah Medical Center replaced the diseased heart by a Jarvik-7. The world watched amazed as television pictures of Dr. Clark showed him as he improved steadily after the surgery.
45、His continued life demonstrated that a bionic device could imitate the action and function of a healthy heart. Dr. Clark lived for 112 days. Life-like or bionic machines have existed for several centuries. The development of tools by man s ancestors is a good example of the application of bionics to
46、 extend human capabilities. Modern bionic research is especially involved in prosthetics devices that substitute for, or replace lost or diseased body parts such as arms ,legs ,and eyes. Recent advances in electronics have enabled scientists to make better use of electrical impulses in the control o
47、f prosthetic devices. One interesting research project is the development of an artificial eye in which video signals are transformed into light patterns that are sent into nerve receptors in the patient. The future for applied bionics seems to be promising. Existing bionic devices will become small
48、er, faster, and more effective. The artificial heart used for Dr. Clark is only one of experimental replacement devices. It is likely to be joined in the future by replacements for other internal systems or organs. Bionic livers, stomachs, and lungs are not impossibilities! （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the
49、 following does this passage mainly discuss?（分数：0.20）A.The application of bionics.B.The first “open heart“ surgery.C.The development of the artificial heart.D.The future of applied bionics.(2).According to the passage, it was Dr. W. Lillehei that _.（分数：0.20）A.first developed applied bionicsB.was the first to operate on the heart of a patientC.developed the artificial heartD.used more sophisticated method
