Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 Each day every person in the United States throws away more than five pounds of garbage(垃圾). There is more garbage now than ever before and most of it is made up of the packages

18、 and cans in which we put our food. The traditional way of getting rid of solid wastes is quickly becoming inadequate. Many cities are experimenting with newer ways of handling their growing piles of garbage.One of these new ways is “recycling“(回收使用). Through recycling usable materials are taken out

19、 of garbage and made into something else. These usable parts of garbage are put through the cycle of going from a raw material to a finished product again.In some cities a machine called Hydrapulper is being used to help recycle garbage. A Hydrapulper is like a huge mixing machine. The garbage is dr

20、opped onto a conveyor belt (传送带) that feeds the machine. At the same time, water is pumped into the Hydrapulper. With a mixing action, the Hydrapulper throws out the heavy metal objects that can later be sold as waste metal. The rest of the garbagepaper, food, plastic, rubber, glass, wood, leaves, a

21、nd other itemsfalls apart. The waste is then mixed with water and carried to another piece of equipment where glass, sand and small pieces of metal are thrown out.With the Hydrapulper, up to 95 percent of the original garbage is made again useful. The rest turns into furnace ash(炉灰).37 Traditionally

22、, garbage is thought to be _.（A）a worthless burden to big cities（B） something that can be reused（C） a raw material for making new products（D）able to be recycled but difficult to handle38 How does the Hydrapulper work?（A）It throws away glass and sand from garbage.（B） It collects heavy metal objects f

They impose thei

26、r own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious o

27、f the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like

28、sunshine and fresh air are at a premium(珍贵). Tall buildings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.42 Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not preferable?

29、（A）The people are not in regular communication with the rhythm of nature.（B） The people cant enjoy sunshine and fresh air.（C） Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.（D）Traffic fumes pollute the air.43 What are highly esteemed in big cities?（A）Living conditions.（B） Sunshine an

32、is NOT true according to the passage?（A）Large modern cities are not good to live in.（B） Living in large modern cities has so many disadvantages.（C） All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who inhabit large cities.（D）Many things that are going on in nature are not connected with

33、 large cities.47 Lawyers are regarded as Darth Vaders of the New Age in America. America has become overpopulated with lawyersthe legal profession has transformed the American system into a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. This has led to an explosion of litigation(诉讼),

34、 which has burdened the paying public with billions in legal bills. These are paid by all the people in the form of higher costs, higher prices and lower productivity.As a group, lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society. In an age when we need cooperation and self-responsib

35、ility, they promote conflict and blame. Where we need unity, they promote division. Where we need honest communications, they practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games.A recent study reported in the San Francisco Chronicle found lawyers bad for the economy. They are obviously ba

36、d for the total society; they have been called Americas own home grown terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation. It has been suggested that nothing would benefit the society more than a five year moratorium(延期偿付) on all civil litigation and locking down the law sc

37、hools until the next century. Of course, this will never happen. Lawyers are powerful figures in the Receding Age and they will not readily surrender their privileged positions.Given the negative impact of lawyers on society in general, it is not surprising that they have had a very negative impact

38、upon the employee-employer relationship as well. The number of so-called “wrongful discharge“ cases has increased dramatically as lawyers have found a new area to exploit. Some employees now spend more time documenting their cases against their employers for future litigation than they do performing

39、 their duties.47 Which of the following is NOT the result of excessive lawyers in America?（A）Higher costs.（B） Higher prices.（C） Lower productivity.（D）Lower crime rate.48 Why do we say that lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society?（A）They practice the art of distortion in an

40、 effort to win legal games where we need honest communications.（B） They promote conflict and blame when we need cooperation and self-responsibility.（C） They promote division where we need unity.（D）All of the above.49 Which of the following words describes the authors attitude to lawyers?（A）Optimisti

41、c.（B） Indifferent.（C） Negative.（D）Anxious.50 Which of the following is NOT true?（A）Its reported that lawyers are bad for the economy.（B） Lawyers have been called terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation.（C） A five year moratorium on all civil litigation and lockin

42、g down the law schools until the next century have been put into practice in America.（D）Lawyers gave a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship.51 Which is the best title of the passage?（A）The Legal Profession in America.（B） How to Avoid the Negative Impact Caused by Lawyer.（C） D

43、arth Vaders of the New Age in America.（D）Being a Good Lawyer.52 I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the

44、present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. B

45、ut they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons(蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It

46、has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of todays parents have come towa

47、rd high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to

48、collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you dont care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will comewith the people who respect you for who you are. Thats the only kind of popularity that really

49、counts.52 The authors purpose in writing this passage is to tell _.（A）readers how to be popular with around（B） teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves（C） parents how to control and guide their children（D）people how to understand and respect each other53 According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but,
