14、ading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet w

15、ith a single line through the center. 15 There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwi

16、de. (76) On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infec

17、ted by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view

18、is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water. (77) Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and l

19、owering the earths temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions wil

20、l happen (though one recent government report drafted by exports in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now. 16 As pointed out at the

21、beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _ （ A） caused widespread damage in the countryside （ B） affected the entire eastern half of the United States （ C） had damaging effect on health （ D） existed merely in urban and industries areas 17 As to the greenhouse effect, the aut

22、hor _ （ A） shares the same view with the scientists （ B） is uncertain of its occurrence （ C） rejects it as being ungrounded （ D） thinks that it will destroy the world soon 18 The word “offset“ in the second paragraph could be replaced by _. （ A） slip into （ B） make up for （ C） set up （ D） catch up w

23、ith 19 It can be concluded that _. （ A） raising the worlds temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth （ B） lowering the worlds temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disaster （ C） almost no temperature variations have occurred over the pas

24、t decade （ D） the worlds temperature will remain constant in the years to come 20 This passage is primarily about _. （ A） the greenhouse effect （ B） the burning of fossil fuels （ C） the potential effect of air pollution （ D） the likelihood of a new ice age 20 Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her hea

25、rt into her anti-slavery book, “Uncle Toms Cab- in“. But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success. (78) The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new sil

26、k dress. But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England For a while it outsold (销得比 多 ) every book in the world, except the Bible. Within six months of its release, a play was mad

27、e from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained Americas most popular play for 80 years. (79) It might appear that“ Uncle Toms Cabin was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War daysparticularly defenders of the slavery sys temc

28、ondemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品 ). Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery (When asked how she came to write the book, she replied, “God wrote it. “ ), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so per haps the book could be considered prop

29、aganda But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accurately described the evils of slavery. Though she was born in Connecticut, 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary(神学院 ). Ohio was a free state, b

30、ut just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in action. She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beeper Stowe began her book. Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system

31、. Today some historians(历史学家 ) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War. In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war. “ 21 Before the publication of the book “Uncle Toms Cabin“ _. （ A） H

32、arriet knew that it would be a great success （ B） the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expense （ C） nobody knew that it would become a very popular book （ D） no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book 22 Some people did not like “Uncle Ton1s Cabin“ chiefly because_. （ A）

They say it is not right for women to b

37、e paid less than men for the same work. Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to

38、work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. (80) If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the things they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up children. Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited pla

39、ce which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two.
