Now ma
25、n Ucovets/U the wealth of the oceans, which cover nearly three-quarters of the earth. But the scramble for minerals and oil, for new underwater empires, could heighten international tensions and set a new and wider stage for world conflict.Even the most conservative estimates of sources in the seabe
26、d stagger the imagination. In the millions of miles of ocean that touch a hundred nations live four out of five living things on earth. In the seabed, minerals and oil have been proved to exist in great supply. The oceans are a source of pure water and food protein, of drugs and building materials;
27、they are even possibly a living place for man himself and a key to survival for doubling population on the land.Man may yet learn to use a tiny fraction of this wealth. Unless international law soon determines how it shall be shared, that fraction alone could set off a new age of colonial war. Is th
28、e deep seabed, like the high seas, common to all? Or, like the wilderness areas of land, is it open to national claim by the use and occupation of the first or the strongest pioneer? The question of what is to be done to regulate and control exploitation of the seabeds is no longer a theoretical mat
29、ter. It is a problem of international concern. We must decide how to divide this great wealth equitably among nations. But wealth is not the only thing at stake. We must also learn how to protect the oceans from the threat of pollution.A few years ago, “practical“ men dismissed speculations about we
30、alth in the sea. “UThat/U is economic foolishness,“ they said. It will never be economically profitable to exploit the seabeds, no matter how great the riches to be found there. Unfortunately, they underestimated the temptation of gold as the mother of invention.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “covets“( Line
31、 1, Para1) can be replaced by _.（分数：2.00）A.exploitsB.damagesC.desiresD.destroys(2).Which of the following statements can best summarize the main idea of the second paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.The oceans contain rich resources.B.The resources of the oceans should be protected.C.Most living things on earth c

33、 the oceans should be exploited by all nationsD.the deep seabed looks very much like the wilderness of the land(4).The word “that“ in “That is economic foolishness“ in the fourth paragraph refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.the wealth in the seaB.the exploitation of the seabedsC.the impractical manD.the sea(5).
34、The last sentence of the text implies that _.（分数：2.00）A.gold urges people to make new inventionsB.money is the most important thing in the worldC.people have tried to exploit the seaD.people did not get much from the seaBText 2/BIn 1789 the US government passed a law which said that the land of the
35、American Indians could never be taken from them without their agreement. One hundred years later, however, the Indians had only a very small part of the lanai that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At fi
36、rst, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace.

37、 animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went
38、down from 100 000 to 30 000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to
39、 other, poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment, They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous
40、 successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promise
41、d freedom and equality to everyone.（分数：10.00）(1).What is said about the land of the American Indians in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The land of the American Indians was taken from them without their consent.B.The American Indians had very few successes in their fight against the injustice of the white ma

47、es that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment of the Indians.BText 3/BIn the United States, theres a widespread belief that statistics dont lie. Perhaps thats why surveys are such an important part of American life. For many years, politicians, businesspeople, and scholars have used
48、surveys to find out more about that mysterious and complicated creature, the human being.American newspapers and magazines have been taking public opinion polls since the 1800s. In the 1930s, poll experts such as Elmo Poper and George Gallup began using scientific methods to select and interview participants in political surveys.
