27、single line through the center. 30 Three Yale University professors agreed in a panel discussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No. 1“ in this country. Besides polluting the air and congesting the cities, cars are involved in more than half the disabling

28、 accidents, and they contribute to heart diseases “because we dont walk anywhere any more“, said Dr. H. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinermans sharp indictment of the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast b

29、y Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three-part series on “Staying Alive“. “For the first time in human history, the problem of mans survival has to do with his control of man-made hazard. “ Dr. Weinerman said. “Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazard

30、s. “ Relating many of these hazards to the automobile, Arthur W. Galston, a professor of biology, said it was possible to make a kerosene-burning turbine car that would “lessen smog by a very large factor“. But he expressed doubt that Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at

31、 90 miles an hour in a large vehicle. “America seems wedded to the motor car every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible with 300 horsepower“. Professor Galston continued. “Is this the way of life that we choose because we cherish these values?“ For Paul B. Sears, Professo

32、r Emeritus of Conservation, part of the blame lies with “a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the illusion that anything thats technically possible is, therefore, ethically justified. “ Professor Sears also called the countrys dependence on its modern automobiles “lousy economies“

33、, because of the large horsepower used simply “in moving one individual to work“. But he conceded that Americans have painted themselves into a comer by allowing the national economy to become so reliant on the automobile industry. According to Dr. Weinerman, automobiles, not factories, are responsi

34、ble for two thirds of the smog in Americas cities, and the smog presents the possibility of a whole-new kind of epidemic, not due to one germ, but due to polluted environment. “Within another five to ten years, its possible to have an epidemic of lung cancer in a city like Los Angeles. This is a new

35、 phenomenon in health concern,“ he said. “The solution,“ he continued, “is not to find a less dangerous fuel, but a different system of inner city transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither and degenerate, so that if you cant walk to where

36、 you want to go, you have to have a car in most cities. “ This, in turn, Dr. Weinerman contended, is responsible for the “arteriosclerosis“ of public roads, for the blight of the inner city and for the middle class movement to the suburbs. 31 The main idea of this article is that_. （ A） Americans ar

37、e too attached to their cars （ B） American cars are too fast （ C） automobiles endanger health （ D） automobiles are the main public transportation tools of U. S.A. 32 The term “a panel discussion“ in the first paragraph means_. （ A） an argument or disagreement conducted in private （ B） a television g

38、uessing game （ C） a discussion by several people in front of the audience （ D） a discussion for enjoyment 33 The term “painted themselves into a corner“ in the third paragraph means_. （ A） become painters （ B） increased their wealth （ C） trapped themselves （ D） made themselves colorful 34 “Public tr

39、ansportation has been allowed to wither and degenerate“ means that the transportation systems_. （ A） havent been maintained or improved properly （ B） are used by too many people during rush hours （ C） dont exist any more （ D） have been changed completely 35 Although he does not say it directly, Dr.

40、Weinerman would probably agree that, if public transportation were improved_. （ A） the inner city might improve （ B） the middle class would move to the suburbs （ C） public roads would get worse （ D） more people would own cars 35 Many people feel that human beings are responsible for the disappearanc

41、e of some other animal species. While we may have hastened the disappearance of some, abundant evidence suggests mankind has had little impact. Biologists point out that 50 species can be expected to disappear in the twentieth century but also remind us that about 50 species can be expected in the n

42、ineteenth century, and 50 species in each of the centuries before that. Dr. T. H. Jukes at the University of California has pointed out that about 100 million animal species have become extinct since life began on Earth about 3 billion years ago. Thus, animals come and animals go as a natural conseq

43、uence of something Mr. Darwin discovered. The human race is a recent newcomer to the scene, so weve had nothing whatsoever to do with the disappearance of millions of species. In fact, when it comes right down to it, were a miserable failure at genocide(种族灭绝 ). In spite of an all-out centuries-old w

44、ar on rats, we havent made a dent in their numbers, much less extinguished a single species. And in spite of all our high technology we havent been successful in eliminating a single undesirable insect species! A friend of mine owns most of the Douglas DC-7 aircrafts left in the world. They make exc

45、ellent spray planes because they can carry a lot of insecticide and fly for a very long time over great distances. Last year, his company sprayed most of the western Sahara and the Sahel regions of Africa to hold down the locusts and grasshoppers. This year, the environmentalists put pressure on the

46、 UN to stop it because dieldrin and malathion might cause an increase in the cancer risk of people in the western Sahara and the Sahel. As a result, the hoppers and locusts are back by the zillions and the crops are failing. But the people of West Africa certainly arent going to worry about dying of

47、 cancer; they are dying of starvation instead. Ive come to the conclusion that the people who are trying to save the world are probably quite sincere about it but they dont know much about science and certainly nothing about systems engineering. 36 According to the author, which of the following evi

48、dence proves that human beings arent responsible for the disappearance of some other animal species? （ A） Human beings have hastened the disappearance of some. （ B） There was mass extinction long before humanitys time on Earth. （ C） Human beingsactivities have had great impact on the earth. （ D） Man

49、y species have extinct since the human race came into being. 37 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “made a dent in their numbers“ (Sentence 2, Para. 2)? （ A） Made a small hollow place in the surface. （ B） Made up our mind to perish them. （ C） Made up for the decreased numbers. （ D） Made their numbers decrease. 38 It can be inferred that the author_. （ A） is a radical environmentalist （ B） is an environme
