26、ons: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 With the possible except

27、ion of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑 ) to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The principal argum

28、ent advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway. In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout r

29、ecorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and c

30、arry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the l

31、atter type murderer. The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 t

32、o 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10. 4 murders for each 100 000 population. The sharp c

33、limb in the states murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合 ). It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed (否决 ), innocent people will be murdered some whose lives may have been save

34、d if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected. 31 The principal purpose of this passage is to_. （ A） criticize the government （ B） argue for the value of the death penalty （ C） speak for the majority （ D）

35、initiate a veto 32 The passage attempts to establish a relationship between_. （ A） the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty （ B） executions and murders （ C） the murder rate and the imposition of the death penalty （ D） the effects of execution and the effects of isolation 33 The a

36、uthors response to those who argue the death penalty for all degrees of murders would most likely be_. （ A） supportive （ B） hostile （ C） negative （ D） friendly 34 In the passage the author is primarily concerned with_. （ A） supporting a position （ B） describing an event （ C） analyzing a problem obje

37、ctively （ D） settling a dispute 35 It can be inferred that the author thinks that_. （ A） the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importance （ B） the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debated （ C） the death penalty is the most controversial iss

38、ue in the United States today （ D） the second type murderers (in Para. 4) should be sentenced to death 35 When an invention is made, the inventor has three possible courses of action open to him: he can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea secret, or patent it. A granted p

39、atent is the result of a bargain made between an inventor and the state, by which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断 ) and publishes full details of his invention to the public after that period terminates (终止 ). Only in most exceptional circumstances is the life-span of a patent ext

40、ended to alter this normal process of events. The longest extension ever granted was to Georges Valensi: his 1939 patent for color TV receiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the patents normal life there was no color TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.

41、Because a patent remains permanently public after it has terminated, the shelves of the library attached to the patent office contain details of literally millions of ideas that are free for any-one to use and, if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent. Indeed, patent experts often advi

42、se anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a search through live patents that the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventors right is to plagiarize a dead patent. Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently invalidates (使无效 ) further patents on t

43、hat idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print. Much modern technological advance is based on these presumptions of legal security. Anyone closely involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most “new“ ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction

44、 to commercial practice, either through necessity of dedication, or through the availability of new technology, that makes news and money. The basic patent for the theory magnetic recording dates back to 1886. Many of the original ideas behind television originate from the late 19th and early 20th c

45、entury. Even the Volkswagen rear engine car was anticipated by a 1904 patent of a cart with the horse at the rear. 36 The passage is mainly about_. （ A） an approach to patents （ B） the application for patents （ C） the use of patents （ D） the access to patents 37 Which of the following is true accord

46、ing to the passage? （ A） When a patent becomes out of effect, it can be re-patented or extended if necessary. （ B） It is necessary for an inventor to apply for a patent before he makes his invention public. （ C） A patent holder must publicize the details of his invention when its legal period is ove

47、r. （ D） One can get all the details of a patented invention from a library attached to the patent office. 38 Georges Valensis patent lasted until 1971 because_. （ A） nobody would offer any reward for his patent prior to that time （ B） his patent could not be put to use for an unusually long time （ C

48、） there were not enough TV stations to provide color programs （ D） the color TV receiver was not available until that time. 39 The word “plagiarize“ (Line 5, Para. 5) most probably means_. （ A） steal and use （ B） give reward to （ C） make public （ D） take and change 40 The main idea of the last parag

49、raph is that_. （ A） most new ideas are, in fact, as old as hills. （ B） it is the reduction to commercial practice that makes news and money （ C） many of the original ideas behind TV originated earlier （ D） Volkswagen rear engine car originated from a cart with the horse at the rear 40 Health-care services will account for almost one-fifth of all job growth during the 19962005 p
