9、ess, government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world. It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment (启蒙运动), which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800. Before that, philosophy was mainly concerned with religion. For the

10、thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment, the proper study of humanity was mankind itself. Their reasoning was practical. For the philosopher David Hume, humanity was the right subject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of how people think and feel. And from

11、 that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved for universal benefit. Hume“s enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific methodthe pursuit of truth through experiment. His friend and fellow resi

12、dent of Edinburgh, Adam Smith, famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business. Trade, he argued, was a form of information. In pursuing our own interests through trading in markets, we all come to benefit each other. Smith“s idea has dominated modem views of economi

13、cs. It also has wide applications. He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich, free and powerful through peace, trade and invention. Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago, the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin (构成的基础) our theories of hu

18、hout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson, signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control ( FCTC ) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the U.S. can implement its provisions. 2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organi

19、zation and approved by members of the World Health Assembly, including the United States, last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies. 3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front

20、 and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where th

21、e Constitution prohibits such an outright ban. 4 The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the U.S. alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third

22、of all cancers in the U.S. are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. 5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.

26、up to more than 8 billion animals each year. Reducing the amount of meat in one“s diet is nutritionally, environmentally, and ethically beneficial. People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians. Meat has been directly linked to diabetes, obesity, arthritis,

27、and many other illnesses. Furthermore, meat-eaters are at a higher risk for diseases, including cancer, and they are more likely to die from these diseases. Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients, especially protein and iron. Actually, according to A Teen“s Guide to Going

28、 Vegetarian, by Judy Krizmanic, protein is found in almost every food, and iron appears in many vegetables. Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not be difficult. A 1988 study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs. Diets including more fruits and

29、 vegetables will only make people healthier. Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten. In fact, the opposite is true. More than 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the U.S. are fed to livestock. The world“s cattle alone consume enough food to equa

30、l the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people, more than the entire human population. One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock; 250 gallons of water produces only 1 lb. (镑) of beef. If people eat less meat and more plants, the amount of available food will increase. Many pe

31、ople become vegetarians because they feel that eating animals is unethical. 90% of these animals are raised in confinement. Chickens and other birds have only about half a square foot of space each, and since they are raised so close together, a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent

32、 them from pecking each other to death. Likewise, pigs that are repressed will bite each other“s tails, so both their teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born. Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways. Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than nothing at all. Consuming le

33、ss meat is beneficial to the health of animals, the health of people, and to the health of the world.（分数：15.00）(1).Why do some people become vegetarians? _（分数：3.00）A.They feel that eating animals is unethical.B.There are fewer livestock available due to the environmental pollution.C.The consumption

34、of meat will lead to financial problem.D.Being a vegetarian is beneficial to the protection of water.(2).Which of the following statements is true according to the book A Teen“s Guide to Going Vegetarian? _（分数：3.00）A.Some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.B.A meatless diet do

35、es not provide enough nutrients.C.Protein can be found in almost every food.D.More than 80% of the corn in the U.S. are fed to livestock.(3).Why does the author say reducing the amount of meat in one“s diet is environmentally beneficial? _（分数：3.00）A.People who eat meat usually have weaker immune sys

36、tems compared to those of vegetarians.B.A lot of food and water are consumed in order to raise livestock.C.90% of animals are raised in confinement.D.Raising Animals causes most of the destruction of the nature.(4).What is the attitude the author has toward eating meat? _（分数：3.00）A.Positive.B.Negati

37、ve.C.Indifferent.D.None of the above.(5).Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? _（分数：3.00）A.The Advantage of Eating Less Meat.B.Why People Become Vegetarians?C.Environmental Protection and Meatless Diet.D.Save Chickens, Save Birds.六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Generation GapA few years

38、ago, it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the gener

39、ation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society. One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life styles. In more traditional soci

40、eties, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupaition. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, most out of the family home

41、at an early age, marry or live or choose occupations different from those of their parents. In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, t

42、he ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often they discover that they have very little in common with each other. Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditio

43、nal culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feat

44、ure of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.（分数：15.00）(1).The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.（分数：3.00）A.the generation gap suddenly appearedB.the generation gap is a fea
