26、at does the American consumer like? Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied American society, has said that American consumers are particularly fond of three things: comfort, cleanliness, and novelty. Lerner believes that the American love of comfort perhaps goes back to the frontier experi

27、ence , where life was tough and there were very few comforts. This experience may have created a strong desire in the pioneers and their children for goods that would make life more comfortable. Today, the Americans love of comfort is seen in the way they furnish their homes, design their cars, and

28、travel. How Americans choose a new mattress for their bed is an example of the Americans love of comfort. Many Americans will go to a store where beds are set up, and they will lie down on several mattresses to see which one is the most comfortable. Cleanliness is also highly valued by Americans. Th

29、ere is a strong emphasis on keeping all parts of the body clean, and Americans see lots of TV commercials for soap, shampoo, deodorants, and mouthwash. Perhaps the Puritan (清教徒的 ) heritage has played some role in the desire for cleanliness. The Puritans, a strict Protestant (新教的 ) church group who w

30、ere among the first settlers of America, stressed the need to cleanse the body of dirt and of all evil tendencies, such as sexual desire. The saying “Cleanliness is next to Godliness“ reflects the belief of most Americans that it is important to keep not only their bodies, but also their clothes, th

31、eir houses, their cars, and even their pets clean and smelling good. Indeed, many Americans are offended by anyone who does not follow their accepted standards of cleanliness. Along with cleanliness and comfort, Americans love having things that are new and different. Perhaps this love of novelty co

32、mes from their pride in their inventiveness. American have always been interested in inventing new products and improving old ones. They like to see changes in cars, clothing, and products for the home. Advertisements encourage people to get rid of old products and try new ones, whether the old ones

33、 still work or not. And if they cannot afford to buy something now, advertisers encourage consumers to charge it on a credit card. “Buy now pay later. “ 31 The American love of comfort originated from_. （ A） the Americans great pride in their abundant natural resources （ B） the early settlers belief

34、 in hard work （ C） the pioneers strong desire to make life more comfortable （ D） the pioneers ignorance of frugality and conservation 32 When buying a chair, most Americans would be more concerned about_. （ A） its beauty （ B） its price （ C） its quality （ D） its comfort 33 Which of the following stat

35、ements is true? （ A） Most Americans dont care deodorants because they like the natural odor of the body. （ B） The Puritans thought there was something evil about sexual desire. （ C） Americans dont mind if others dont follow their standards of cleanliness. （ D） Most Americans pay much attention to ke

36、eping their body clean, but often ignore their houses, cars and pets. 34 According to the passage, Americans take pride in their_. （ A） standards of cleanliness （ B） inventiveness （ C） old products （ D） comfortable life 35 Which of the following words is NOT appropriate to describe Americans, accord

37、ing to the passage? （ A） Tidy. （ B） Inventive. （ C） Conservative. （ D） Clean. 35 Britains emissions of greenhouse gases, blamed by many scientists for contributing to global warming, have fallen by 14 percent since 1990, according to the latest government report. British lakes and rivers are also on

38、 the road to recovery from acid rain poisoning, following successful curbs to air pollution from cars and heavy industry. The report by the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) attributed the drop in greenhouse gas emissions to several factors including: the introduction of catalytic conv

39、erters on cars, a move toward low sulphur and lead-free petrol and a switch to gas from coal and oil in power generation. Environment Minister Michael Meacher said the downward trend was welcome, but warned of complacency. “Even though these figures are encouraging, we must not be complacent There a

40、re still significant problems where we need to do more, for example, to further reduce greenhouse gases and harmful pollutants (污染物 ) such as ammonia and particulate matter,“ he said in a statement. The government has a target to cut greenhouse gases by 23 percent by 2010 on 1990 levels. This is alm

41、ost double the target of 12. 5 percent to which the UK is committed under the Kyoto Protocol and there are signs that emissions are rising as generators return to using coal-fired power stations in the face of rising natural gas prices. The Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) sa

42、id substantial curbs on sulphur dioxide emissions across the UK and Europe had cut acid rain by half over the last 12 years. “Damaged freshwater lakes and streams are showing signs of recovery,“ it said. But DEFRA warned of a new threat: “Nitrogen oxides and ammonia are the main air pollutants that

43、must be tackled to stop future damage. “ The bulk of Britains ammonia emissions come from farm animal manure (粪肥 ), causing over-enrichment of land and waterways, said the report. Certain species rampage unchecked through this ultra-fertile environment, smothering the slower growing plants beneath t

44、hem and choking streams and rivers. Nitrogen oxides enter the atmosphere from car exhausts and industry, creating health-damaging ozone and contributing to acid rain. 36 According to the passage, Britain has achieved success in all of the following EXCEPT （ A） reducing emissions of greenhouse gases

45、（ B） recovering lakes and rivers from pollution （ C） preventing acid rain from falling （ D） curbing air pollution from cars and heavy industry 37 Which of the following has Britain NOT done to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases? （ A） Introduced catalytic converters on cars. （ B） Encouraged use o

46、f low sulphur and lead-free petrol. （ C） Replaced coal and oil with gas in power generation. （ D） Closed down some heavy industry factories. 38 The word “complacent“ (Para. 5) can be best replaced by_. （ A） disappointed （ B） discouraged （ C） satisfied （ D） excited 39 What is UKs committed target und

47、er the Kyoto Protocol to cut greenhouse gases by 2010? （ A） To cut by 23% on 1990 levels. （ B） To cut by 25% on 1990 levels. （ C） To cut by 12. 5% on 1990 levels. （ D） To cut by 50% on 1990 levels. 40 The bulk of ammonia emissions coming from farm animal manure may_. （ A） make land and waterways ult

48、ra-fertile （ B） smother the growing of plants （ C） create health damaging ozone （ D） contribute to acid rain 40 Imagine eating everything delicious you want with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldnt it? New “fake fat“ products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not

49、 everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients and also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So its up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enoug
