It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: “store in the refrigerator“. In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily

8、. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on foo

9、d deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country. The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed natural cooling, drying, smoking salting, sugaring, bottling. What refr

10、igeration did promote was marketing marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price. Consequently, most of the worlds fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy c

11、ountries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially heated house while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of

12、charge. The fridges effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you dont believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least youll get rid of that

13、terrible hum. 11 The statement “In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily“.

14、ridge in the authors home in the 1940s. （ D） the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1940s 12 Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges? （ A） People would not buy more food than was necessary. （ B） Food was delivered to people two or three times

15、a week. （ C） Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily. （ D） People had effective ways to preserve their food. 13 Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author? （ A） Inventors （ B） Consumers （ C） Manufacturers （ D） Travelling salesmen 14 Which of the following phrases in the f

16、ifth paragraph indicates the fridges negative effect on the environment? （ A） Hum continuously （ B） Climatically almost unnecessary （ C） Artificially-cooled space （ D） With mild temperatures 15 What is the authors overall attitude toward fridges? （ A） Neutral （ B） Critical （ C） Objective （ D） Compro

17、mising 16 Its very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化 ) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公 司的 ) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that

18、produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where b

19、irth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not h

20、ave the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need. Likewise, I dont hear people in the academy saying, “Lets go backward. Lets go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才 )“ (which was never true we never had a meritocracy, although weve come

21、 closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the co

22、mmunity, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses. 16 The word “imperative“(Para.

23、 1) most probably refers to something_. （ A） superficial （ B） remarkable （ C） debatable （ D） essential 17 Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity? （ A） Minorities. （ B） Politicians. （ C） Professors. （ D） Managers. 18 High corporate leaders seem to be in favor

24、 of promoting diversity so as to_. （ A） lower the rate of unemployment （ B） win equal political rights for minorities （ C） be competitive in the world market （ D） satisfy the demands of a growing population 19 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） meritocracy can never be realized without

25、diversity （ B） American political circles will not accept diversity （ C） it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U. S. media （ D） minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity 20 According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by_. （ A）

26、expanding the pool of potential employees （ B） promoting policies that provide skills to employees （ C） training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managers （ D） providing education for all regardless of race or sex 21 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they lov

27、e and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional t

28、han civilian(百姓的 ) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.

29、What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份 ) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的 ). They are often more comfortable

30、 and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, wit

31、hout change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also

32、 expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 21 It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_. （ A） still judge a man by his clothes （ B） hold the uniform in such high regard （ C） en

33、joy having a professional identity （ D） will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform 22 People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform_. （ A） suggests quality work （ B） discards his social identity （ C） appears to be more practical （ D） looks superior to a person in civili

34、an clothes 23 The chief function of a uniform is to_. （ A） provide practical benefits to the wearer （ B） make the wearer catch the public eye （ C） inspire the wearers confidence in himself （ D） provide the wearer with a professional identity 24 According to the passage, people wearing uniforms_. （ A

35、） are usually helpful （ B） have little or no individual freedom （ C） tend to lose their individuality （ D） enjoy greater popularity 25 The best title for this passage would be_. （ A） Uniforms and Society （ B） The Importance of Wearing a Uniform （ C） Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform （ D） Advan

36、tages and Disadvantages of Uniforms 26 26 Whose works will be on show on Jan. 6 at China National Art Museum? （ A） Young artists. （ B） Zhang Yongxus. （ C） Gu Kaizhis. （ D） Fu Baoshis. 27 If you want to see some European paintings, you can go to China National Art Museum on_. （ A） Jan. 3. （ B） Jan. 5
