25、)In face of the numbers of people who are suffering anxiety attacks over AIDS, global warming, ozone sharp decline, and the proliferation of chemical weapons, you have a disturbingly large population easily influenced by the madness aroused with the arrival of the period of the second thousand years
26、.Even supposedly sober observers are taking positions in the millenarian parade. Novelist, poet, and science writer Brad Leithauser is convinced the second millennium is going to bring a “psychological shift“ that will “literally redefine what it means to be a human being.“Leithauser believes that g
27、lobal weather patterns will undergo random, even chaotic, changes produced by the dreaded greenhouse effect. In his novel Hence set around 2000, Leithauser visualizes religious leaders seizing on the resultant disturbances -flooded cities, soaring cancer rates, and what have you -and taking them as
28、a sign that the end is near.At the same time, Leithauser thinks, a combination of high-speed living and runaway technology will serve further to alienate people from themselves. He predicts that invasive media will bring an inescapable large number of stimuli. In this atmosphere of “evershortening c
29、ollective memory,“ books will become pass. Indeed, any form of reflective solitude will become “quietly sinful,“ says a character in Leithausers novel, and seeking it out will require “almost an act of social defiance.“Economic expert Ravi Bartra is equally convinced that by the dawn of the second m
30、illennium people will have undergone a thorough spiritual and economic transformation. He warns that the voices of the rich will soon superheat the global economy to the point of explosion and collapse, in the wake of which “society will border on chaos. There will be a polarization of society into
31、two classes -the haves and the have-nots -and there will be a lot of crime and street demonstrations“ as the angry have-nots make strong claim for food, shelter, and social justice.But Batra, unlike Leithauser, sees the coming bimillennial breakdown as a sort of getting rid of sin by fire on the way
32、 to a better world. From the ashes of economic and social collapse, he says, will rise a “higher consciousness“-a climate in which pornography, selfishness, and extreme concentration of wealth are reproached and society becomes “more concerned with the handicapped and the weaker.“ On the job, he for
33、esees “far more democratic large factories, where employees not only sit on boards of directors but actually run companies.“ Meanwhile, discipline will capture the home-and-family front, with “children obeying their parents more, and more family stability, fewer divorces.“（分数：5.00）(1).The first two
34、paragraphs say that, faced with the various problems, people are likely to become crazy about A. the turn of the millennium. B. global warming and ozone depletion.

35、s to be a sign of the impending end? A. Pessimistic meteorologists. B. You-the reader. C. Religious readers. D. Leithauser.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In paragraph 4, line 4, the word “pass“ in this context means A. essential. B. available. C. passable. D. obsolete.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).In the eyes of Ravi
36、Batra, the world of the second millennium would be one of A. tragedy. B. disorder. C. economic explosion. D. wealth concentration.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Ravi Batra is different in attitude toward the arrival of the second millennium from Brad Leithauser in that A. Leithauser is more positive. B. Batra
37、 is more optimistic. C. the former thinks more of the breakdown D. the latter tends to look at the bright side of things（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)It is interesting to reflect for a moment upon the differences in the areas of moral feeling and standards in the peoples of Japan and th
38、e United States. Americans divide these areas somewhat rigidly into spirit and flesh, the two being in opposition in the life of a human being. Ideally spirit should prevail but all too often it is the flesh that does prevail. The Japanese make no such division, at least between one as good and the
39、other as evil. They believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle“ soul, the other is the “rough“ soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul. Sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his gentle soul, neither does he fight his rough soul. Human nature in
40、itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling ones obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fict
41、ion, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts. And duty includes a persons obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense
42、of duty a self discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending upon the area in which it is functioning.The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. Indeed, one may say it begins at birth. Early is the Japanese child given his own identity! If I were to define in a
43、word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one succinct word- “respect“. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed from the moment he is put to his mothers breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.Rewards are frequent, a
44、bit of candy bestowed at the right moment, an inexpensive toy. As the time comes to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that th
45、e aim or all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, and continually practiced until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tem
46、pered to the childs tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on. but certainly it is increasingly inexorable.Now, far away from that warm Japanese home, I reflect upon what 1 learned there. What, I wonder, will take the place of the web of love and discipline which for so many centuries has surrounded the life and thinking of the people of Japan?（分数：5.00）(1).The authors purpose in the passage is to _. A. discuss the virtue of the Japanese
