25、HEET 1. 41 For millennia man has exploited and often destroyed the riches of the land. Now man covets the wealth of the oceans, which cover nearly three-quarters of the earth. But the scramble for minerals and oil, for new underwater empires, could heighten international tensions and set a new and w

26、ider stage for world conflict. Even the most conservative estimates of sources in the seabed stagger the imagination. In the millions of miles of ocean that touch a hundred nations live four out of five living things on earth. In the seabed, minerals and oil have been proved to exist in great supply

27、. The oceans are a source of pure water and food protein, of drugs and building materials; they are even possibly a living place for man himself and a key to survival for doubling population on the land. Man may yet learn to use a tiny fraction of this wealth. Unless international law soon determine

28、s how it shall be shared, that fraction alone could set off a new age of colonial war. Is the deep seabed, like the high seas, common to all? Or, like the wilderness areas of land, is it open to national claim by the use and occupation of the first or the strongest pioneer? The question of what is t

29、o be done to regulate and control exploitation of the seabeds is no longer a theoretical matter. It is a problem of international concern. We must decide how to divide this great wealth equitably among nations. But wealth is not the only thing at stake. We must also learn how to protect the oceans f

30、rom the threat of pollution. A few years ago, “practical“ men dismissed speculations about wealth in the sea. “That is economic foolishness,“ they said. It will never be economically profitable to exploit the seabeds, no matter how great the riches to be found there. Unfortunately, they underestimat

31、ed the temptation of gold as the mother of invention. 42 The word “covets“( Line 1, Para1) can be replaced by _. （ A） exploits （ B） damages （ C） desires （ D） destroys 43 Which of the following statements can best summarize the main idea of the second paragraph? （ A） The oceans contain rich resources

32、. （ B） The resources of the oceans should be protected. （ C） Most living things on earth can be found in the oceans. （ D） The oceans can serve as a solution to the serious problem of population. 44 The third paragraph seems to suggest that _. （ A） the scramble for the wealth in the oceans may lead t

33、o world conflict （ B） the wealth in the oceans belong to the strongest nations （ C） the wealth of the oceans should be exploited by all nations （ D） the deep seabed looks very much like the wilderness of the land 45 The word “that“ in “That is economic foolishness“ in the fourth paragraph refers to

34、_. （ A） the wealth in the sea （ B） the exploitation of the seabeds （ C） the impractical man （ D） the sea 46 The last sentence of the text implies that _. （ A） gold urges people to make new inventions （ B） money is the most important thing in the world （ C） people have tried to exploit the sea （ D） p

35、eople did not get much from the sea 46 In 1789 the US government passed a law which said that the land of the American Indians could never be taken from them without their agreement. One hundred years later, however, the Indians had only a very small part of the lanai that originally belonged to the

36、m. How did this great injustice occur? After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers and the Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their s

37、urvival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great number

38、s of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100 000 to 30 000. More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to

39、the Indians were broken; the federal government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other, poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment, They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until t

40、he late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their

Perhaps

48、 thats why surveys are such an important part of American life. For many years, politicians, businesspeople, and scholars have used surveys to find out more about that mysterious and complicated creature, the human being. American newspapers and magazines have been taking public opinion polls since

49、the 1800s. In the 1930s, poll experts such as Elmo Poper and George Gallup began using scientific methods to select and interview participants in political surveys. Since the 1940s, American businesspeople have been developing, naming, packaging, and promoting products with the help of surveys.
