26、ets （ C） accepts （ D） wins Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The b

27、asic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure. In addition, much of the worlds economy is built

28、on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the worlds paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel,

29、 rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction. In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding

30、 in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives. Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250, 000 people-as many as were killed in the atomic bom

31、b attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki-and injure or permanently disable ten million more. Half of the worlds people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during their lives. Since the automobile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways-about twice the

32、 number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all U. S. wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses. Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestr

33、ians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger. Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the worlds cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the countrys air pollution. 46 Cars repres

34、ent peoples _. （ A） occupation （ B） identity （ C） life style （ D） fame 47 According to the passage, the average number of people killed annually in traffic accidents around the world is _. （ A） 18 million （ B） 250, 000 （ C） half of the worlds population （ D） 60 million 48 A serious environmental pro

35、blem resulting from automobiles is _. （ A） tragic loss of life （ B） traffic jams （ C） air pollution （ D） mental stress 49 It can be inferred from this passage that automobiles _. （ A） are an important part of the world s economy （ B） are becoming less dangerous （ C） will produce less air pollution i

36、n the future （ D） are killing more people in recent years than in the past 50 The title that suits the passage best is _. （ A） Automobile and Economy （ B） Automobile and the Environment （ C） The Problems with the Automobile （ D） Advantages and Disadvantages of the Automobile 50 I dont know how I bec

37、ame a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration for literature. He had a tremendous memory,

38、and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlets Soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antonys “Funeral Oration”, Greys “Elegy”, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learn

39、ed it all. He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc. , and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in playwriting which had

40、just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I could seriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with the idea that I had to be a playwright, l

41、eft Harvard, had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London. I was living all alone at

42、 that time. I had two rooms-a bedroom and a sitting room-in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look. 51 We may conclude, in regard to the authors development as a writer, that his father _. （ A） made an important contribution （

43、 B） insisted that he choose writing as a career （ C） opposed his becoming a writer （ D） insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer 52 The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of _. （ A） his special talent （ B） his father s teaching and encouragement （ C） his

44、study at Harvard （ D） a hidden urge within him 53 The author _. （ A） began to think of becoming a writer at Harvard （ B） had always been successful in his writing career （ C） went to Harvard to learn to write plays （ D） worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer 54 The author really started

45、on his way to become a writer _. （ A） when he was in high school （ B） when he was studying at Harvard （ C） when he lived in London （ D） after he entered college 55 A conclusion we cannot safely draw (based upon this passage) about the authors life in 1926 is that _. （ A） he was unmarried （ B） he was

46、 miserable about having his plays rejected （ C） he lived in a house like all the other houses around him （ D） he started his first novel 55 Greek mythology is largely made up of stories about gods and goddesses, but it must not be read a kind of Greek Bible, an account of the Greek religion. Accordi

47、ng to the most modern idea, a real myth has nothing to do with religion. It is an explanation of something in nature; how, for instance, any and everything in the universe came into existence: men, animals, this or that tree or flower, the sun, the moon, the stars, storms, eruptions, earthquakes, al

48、l that is and all that happens. Thunder and lightning are caused when Zeus hurls his thunderbolt. A volcano erupts because a terrible creature is imprisoned in the mountain and every now and then struggles to get free. The Dipper (大熊星座 ) , the constellation (星座 ) called also the Great Bear, does not

49、 set below the horizon because a goddess once was angry at it and decreed (命令 ) that it should never sink into the sea. Myths are early science, the result of mens first trying to explain what they saw around them. But there are many so-called myths which explain nothing at all. These tales are pure entertainment, the sort of thing people would tell each other on a long winter s eve
