22、as a big pile of bricks on the top of a tall building and a man had to bring them down to the ground. He had a long rope which went over a pulley(滑轮) at the roof of the building. The other end was fastened to a big box.First he pulled the box up to the top of the building, and fastened the end of th

23、e rope so that the box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bricks was heavier than the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the: rope. Half-way up, the box of bricks hit h

24、im as it was coming down.When he reached the top, his head hit the pulley. The box of bricks hit the ground and broke. As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the man and consequently he began to come down and the box began to go up.Half-way up, the box hit the man. The man st

25、ill held on to the rope and the box therefore Continued to go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let go the rope to rub his head. The box, of course, then fell down and hit the man on the head again. As a result, an ambulance came and took him to hospital（分数：15.00）(1).Why did the man faste

26、n the end of the rope before he climbed up the ladder?（分数：3.75）A.He was afraid that someone would steal his box.B.Because he wanted to climb up along the rope.C.He fastened the end of the rope in order to keep the box unmoved.D.Because he wanted to prevent the box from coming down.(2).The box of bri

29、d machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance or the ecological(生态的)balance as it is known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed(处理) of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are pr

30、oduced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people therefore see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of g

31、oods. Others see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing population. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial f

32、ertilizers(人造肥料) cannot bring back the balance.Whatever is underlying(潜在的)reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter(杂乱的废物)and waste. F

33、ood is wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this p

34、rocess by persuading many of us to buy things we dont want to buy. Pollution and waste continue to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.（分数：15.00）(1).The main cause of pollution i

35、s_.（分数：3.75）A.the production of new industrial goodsB.increased amounts of unnatural substanceC.our ever-increasing populationD.the release of artificial substances into the environment(2).In the writers view, the more new goods there are,_.（分数：3.75）A.the less pollution we haveB.the harder pollution

36、 can be done away withC.the more pollution there will beD.the more easily pollution can be controlled(3).Many people see pollution as only. part of_.（分数：3.75）A.the environmental balanceB.our daily lifeC.the consumption of goods by manD.the whole process of industrial production and consumption of go

37、ods(4).People can help solve the problem of pollution by_.（分数：3.75）A.urging their governments to control litter and wasteB.cutting down the use of oil and other oil productsC.reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastesD.making anti-pollution advertisementsBPassage F

38、our/BWomen earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies. Its also clear that jobs in which women are c

39、oncentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in ran industry, the lower the average wages.Why do women earn less than men do? Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene(干预), to force the employers to pa

40、y equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women, on the average, have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relati

41、ve to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen

42、if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new workers declines. The

43、 result will be a surplus (过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.（分数：15.00）(1).Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because_.（分数：3.75）A.there are more than enough women in the labor forceB.women have mo

44、re freedom in selecting jobsC.women are only provided with low-paid jobsD.women are less experienced than men(2).Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the second paragraph?（分数：3.75）A.Levels of education are closely related to productivity.B.Women are not as productive as men.C.Women receive

45、 less education than men.D.Goods produced by men are not as good as those by women.(3).What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?（分数：3.75）A.To ensure equal pay for women.B.No solution is clearly suggested.C.To explain why women are paidless.D.To force employers to

46、hire more women.(4).What would happen if womens wages were raised?（分数：3.75）A.The imput of labor would be increased.B.The unemployment rate would go up.C.Those who have jobs would all become better off.D.Women as a group would earn more than before.BPassage Five/BAustralia is nearly as large as the U

47、nited States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states: of America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.The two-way radio is very important to people who live on

48、 these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then gives an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and liste
