8、le line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday me

9、al is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical“ Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his

10、 counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and

11、its consumer products: The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life“ will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good thi

12、ngs in lifeto joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940“s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of

13、 life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however,

14、countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the

Yet, dark glasses or not they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness, when exposed to

19、 several hours of “snow light“. The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man“s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and

20、 jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscle aches. Nature balances this annoyance by producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The li

21、quid covers the eyeballs in increasing quantity until vision blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness. Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a

22、 dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop sea

23、rching through the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the man can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white area is overcome.（分数：10.00）(1).The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ac

25、s(3).Snow-blindness may be avoided by _.（分数：2.00）A.concentration on the solid white areaB.providing the eyes with something to focus onC.searching for something to look at in snow-covered areasD.covering the eyeballs with liquid(4).The flint paragraph is mainly concerned with（分数：2.00）A.snow glare an

26、d snowblindnessB.the whiteness from snowC.headaches, watering eyes and snowblindnessD.the need for dark glasses(5).A suitable title for this passage would be _.（分数：2.00）A.Snowblindness and How to Overcome ItB.Nature“s Cure for SnowblindnessC.Soldiers in the SnowD.Snow VisionToday is the anniversary
