Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below. Note there are

11、more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use them all. Write the correct number a h in blanks 1-5. List of Headings a. Vanishing topsoil influences farm productivities. b. Water is being polluted by chemical fertilizers. c. Advantages and disadvantages of fuel produced from crop residues. d. N

12、egative environmental effects were incurred by subsidies. e. Environmental damages were even worsened by government policies. f. Fertilizer use is recommended in some countries. g. A modest cut in subsidies is adopted in some countries. h. Removal of certain subsidies achieves some positive results.

13、Example Answer Paragraph A d A All these activities may have damaging environmental impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation; chemical fertilizers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies; more intensive farming and the abandonment of fall

14、ow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion; and the spread of monoculture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plants which might have provided some insurance against pests or diseases in future. B Soil erosion threatens the

15、productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soil“s productivity. The country subsequently embarked upon a progr

16、am to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in America. C Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price suppor

17、ts for farm output drive up the price of land. The annual value of these subsidies is immense:about $250 billion, or more than all World Bank lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmer“s easiest option is to use more of the most readily available inputs; fertilizers and

18、 pesticides. Fertilizer use doubled in Denmark in the period 1960 - 1985 and increased in The Netherlands by 150 percent. The quantity of pesticides applied has risen too; by 69 percent in 1975 - 1984 in Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 percent in the frequency of application in the three ye

19、ars from 1981. D In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies. The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertilizer subsidies had bee

20、n followed by a fall in fertilizer use(a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes). The removal of subsidies also stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, which in the past had been the principal causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of sub

21、sidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion. E In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies, and to introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in

22、 environmentally friendlier ways, or to leave it fallow. It may sound strange but such payments need to be higher than the existing incentives for farmers to grow food crops. Farmers, however, dislike being paid to do nothing. In several countries they have become interested in the possibility of us

23、ing fuel produced from crop residues either as a replacement for petrol(as ethanol)or as fuel for power stations(as biomass). Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. F They are therefore less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect.

24、But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidizedand growing them does no less environmental harm than other crops.（分数：10.00）(1).Paragraph B 1（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(2).Paragraph C 1（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(3).Paragraph D 1（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(4).Paragraph E 1（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(5).Paragraph F 1（分数：2.00

25、）填空项 1:_三、阅读理解(总题数：3，分数：30.00)Every man is a philosopher. Every man has his own philosophy of life and his special view of the universe. Moreover, his philosophy is important, more important perhaps than he himself knows. It determines his treatment of friends and enemies, his conduct when alone and

26、 in society, his attitude towards his home, his work, and his country, his religious beliefs, his ethical standards, his social adjustment and his personal happiness. Nations, too, through the political or military party in power, have their philosophers of thought and action. Wars are waged and rev

27、olutions incited because of the clash of ideologies, the conflict of philippics. It has always been so. World War II is but the latest and most dramatic illustration of the combustible nature of differences in social and political philosophy. Philosophy, says Plato, begins with wonder. We wonder abo

28、ut the destructive fury of earthquakes , floods, storms, drought, pestilence, famine, and fire, the mysteries of birth and death , pleasure and pain, change and permanence, cruelly and kindness, instincts and ideals, mind and body, the size of the universe and man“s place in it. Our questions are en

29、dless. What is man? What is Nature? What is justice? What is duty? Alone among the animals man is concerned about his origin and end, about his purposes and goals, about the meaning of life and the nature of reality. He alone distinguishes between beauty and ugliness, good and evil, the better and t

30、he worse. He may be a member of the animal kingdom, but he is also a citizen of the world of ideas and values. Some of man“s questions have had answers. Where the answer is clear, we call it science or art and move on to higher ground and a new vista of the world. Many of our questions, however, wil

31、l never have final answers. Men will always discuss the nature of justice and right, the significance of evil, the art of government, the relation of mind and matter, the search for truth, the quest for happiness, the idea of God, and the meaning of reality. The human race has reflected so long and

32、so often on these problems that the same patterns of thought recur in almost every age. We should know what these thoughts are. We should know what answers have been suggested by those who have most influenced ancient and modern thought. We shall want to do our own thinking and find our own answers.

33、 It is, however, neither necessary nor advisable to travel alone. Others have helped dispel the darkness, and the light they have kindled may also illuminate our way.（分数：10.00）(1).In the passage, the author says that every man is a philosopher.
