12、四、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When Dr. John W.Gofman, professor of medical physics at the University of California and a leading nuclear critic, speaks of “ecocide“ in his adversary view of nuclear technology, he means the following: A large nuclear plant like that in Kalkar, the Netherlands, would produc

13、e about 200 pounds of plutonium each year. One pound, released into the atmosphere, could cause 9 billion cases of lung cancer. This waste product must be stored for 500,000 years before it is of no further danger to man. In the anticipated reactor economy, it is estimated that there will be 10,000

14、tons of this material in Western Europe, of which one table-spoonful of plutonium-239 represents the official maximum permissible body burden for 200,000 people. Rather than being biodegradable, plutonium destroys biological properties.In 1972 the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration r

15、uled that the asbestos level in the work place should be lowered to 2 fibers per cubic centimeter of air, but the effective date of the ruling has been delayed until now. The International Federation of Chemical and General Workers Unions report that the 2-fiber standard was based primarily on one s

16、tudy of 290 men at a British asbestos factory. But when the workers at the British factory had been reexamined by another physician, 40-70 percent had X-ray evidence of lung abnormalities. According to present medical information at the factory in question, out of a total of 29 deaths thus far, seve

17、n were caused by lung cancer. An average European or American worker comes into contact with six million fibers a day. “We are now, in fact, finding cancer deaths within the family of the asbestos worker,“ states Dr. Irving Selikoff, of the Mount Sinai Medical School in New York.It is now also clear

18、 that vinyl chloride, a gas from which the most widely used plastics are made, causes a fatal cancer of the blood-vessel cells of the liver. However, the history of the research on vinyl chloride is, in some ways, more disturbing than the “Watergate cover-up.“ “There has been evidence of potentially

19、 serious disease among polyvinyl chloride workers for 25 years that has been incompletely appreciated and inadequately approached by medical scientists and by regulatory authorities,“ summed up Dr. Selikoff in the New Scientist. At least 17 workers have been killed by vinyl chloride because research

20、 over the past 25 years was not followed up. And for over 10 years, workers have been exposed to concentrations of vinyl chloride 10 times the “safe limit“ imposed by Dow Chemical Company.

Thats nothing. The battle between the science

26、s and the humanities has been going on for so long, its early participants have stopped walking and talking, because theyre already dead. Its been some 50 years since the physicist-turned-novelist C. P. Snow delivered his famous “Two Cultures“ lecture at the University of Cambridge, in which he decr

27、ied the “gulf of mutual incomprehension“, the “hostility and dislike“ that divided the worlds “natural scientists“, its chemists, engineers, physicists and biologists, from its “literary intellectuals“, a group that, by Snows reckoning, included pretty much everyone who wasnt a scientist. His critiq

28、ue set off a frenzy of desperation that continues to this day, particularlyin the United States, as educators, policymakers and other observers lament the Balkanization of knowledge, the scientific illiteracy of the general public and the chronic academic turf wars that are all too easily lampooned.

29、 Yet a few scholars believe that the cultural chasm can be bridged and the sciences and the humanities united into a powerful new discipline that would apply the strengths of both mindsets, the quantitative and qualitative, to a wide array of problems. Among the most ambitious of these exercises in

30、fusion thinking is a program under development at Binghamton University in New York called the New Humanities Initiative. Jointly conceived by David Sloan Wilson, a professor of biology, and Leslie Heywood, a professor of English, the program is intended to build on some of the themes explored in Dr

31、 Wilsons evolutionary studies program, which has proved enormously popular with science and nonscience majors alike, and which he describes in the recently published “Evolution for Everyone“. In Dr. Wilsons view, evolutionary biology is a discipline that, to be done right, demands a crossover appro

32、ach, the capacity to think in narrative and abstract terms simultaneously, so why not use it as a template for emulsifying the two cultures generally? “There are more similarities than differences between the humanities and the sciences, and some of the stereotypes have to be altered,“ Dr. Wilson sa

33、id, “Darwin, for example, established his entire evolutionary theory on the basis of his observations of natural history, and most of that information was qualitative, not quantitative. “ As he and Dr. Heywood envision the program, courses under the New Humanities rubric would be offered campus-wide

34、 in any number of departments, including history, literature, philosophy, sociology, law and business. The students would be introduced to basic scientific tools like statistics and experimental design and to liberal arts staples like the importance of analyzing specific texts or documents closely,

35、 identifying their animating ideas and comparing them with the texts of other immortal minds.（分数：10.00）(1).In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by_. A posing a contrast B justifying an assumption C making a comparison D explaining a phenomenon（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The word “balka

36、nization“ (Line 7, Paragraph 2) most probably means_. A ignorance B split C mistake D declination（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to Paragraph 3, New Humanities Initiative is a program that_. A is ambitious enough to create new discipline B will gain popularity for Binghamton University C can bridge t

37、he gap between sciences and human D is a combination of sciences and arts（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).By citing the example of Darwin, Dr. Wilson intends to show that_. A qualitative information is more valuable than quantitative observations B it is preferable to take the mutual advantage of science and hu

38、manities C science has more similarities rather than differences than humanities D scientists should base their theory on qualitative information（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A Curriculum Designed to Unite Art and Science B A Better Scholar who Aba

39、ndoned Physics for Novel C A Disastrous War between Science and Humanities D Dr. Wilsons Contribution to the American Education（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Some oil companies plan to get rid of some of the pollution they produce by pumping it into rocks deep inside the Earth, where they

40、say it will stay for thousands of years. Other people ,though, arent so sure this is advisable; environmental groups say that putting this pollution back into the Earth is a bad idea.When oil burns, it doesn t just produce heat: it also produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a natural part of th

41、e air, but because people burn so much oil, there s too much carbon dioxide in the air. This extra carbon dioxide is pollution; some scientific studies show that carbon dioxide is one of the“ greenhouse gases“ that is causing the Earth s temperature to rise.Environmentalists say that the oil compani

42、es plans may not work. The oil companies say they are making sure that the gas will never escape, but environmentalists wonder how the oil companies can be so sure that the gas won t seep into the air. They also point out that there s no way to check to make sure the gas isn t leaking. In addition,

43、the environmentalists point out that the pumping costs money-for research and for equipment-that the oil companies should be spending on preventing pollution, rather than on just moving it someplace else.Another problem, say some people who are concerned about the Earth, is that if the oil companies

44、 find a cheap way to get rid of their pollution, they won t look for new kinds of energy. These environmentalists say that energy companies should be researching ways to use hydrogen, wind power, and solar power instead of finding better ways to use oil. They argue that continuing to use oil means t

45、hat we will still need to buy oil from other countries instead of producing our own cheap, clean energy.Environmentalists also say that burying pollution just pushes the problem into the future, rather than really solving it. They say that if the oil companies pump carbon dioxide into the rocks insi

46、de the Earth, it will be there for thousands of years, and that no one knows if this plan-even if it works-might turn into a pollution problem for all of us in the future.The oil companies insist that their plan is safe, and that putting the gas inside the Earth is a reasonable way to deal with it.

47、They point out that there is a lot of room in the Earth for this extra gas, and that putting carbon dioxide inside the Earth means that the gas wont be in the air, and if it s not in the air, it won t make the Earth warmer.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, oil results in air pollution becauseA

48、 it burns very easily and has a very awful smell.B it produces too much heat that warm up the temperature.C it emits too much carbon dioxide into the air when burning.D it is called the“ greenhouse gas“.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to some environmentalist, the oil companiesA are further polluting the air by using more oil than clean energy.B are not really concerned with solving the problem of pollution.C are attempting to reduce the pollution they have done to the air.D are in need of research and equipment in pollution prevention.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is NOT
