7、re going to put a lot of your time and energy into your research project, the topic is especially important. In many instances your instructor may give a specific topic. If this is done, you have little choice, but most instructors will permit or even welcome a slightly changed focus in a topic if i

8、t is supported by good thinking. In some of your classes, the instructor may present a suggested list of several topics from which you are to make a choice. If this is done, do not simply select the first idea that attracts your attention. It may be one with which you will soon become bored, or it m

9、ay be one on which you would have difficulty finding all the necessary information. Looking at the topics, try to consider how you might go about developing each of them. When you find out what seems especially interesting and worthwhile, do a bit checking in the library to see if you can get the ba

10、sic resources you will need. Choosing a good research topic does not necessarily mean finding something that has a lot written about it. Many times you will have to research around a topic in order to find out the most useful information. Exciting and original topics often come to mind by combining

11、two completely different interests. Let us say that you are interested in child psychology and in sports. Perhaps you can combine these into a study of the effect that is watching on the subject, you can research the topic individually and, by putting your information together, then draw a conclusio

The Role of Governments 1 Governments determine the legal framework that sets the basic meets for the ownership of property and the operation of markets. In addition, governments at all levels regulate economic behavior, setting detailed rules for

16、the operation of businesses. Such regulations apply to all businesses; examples include laws against fraud and racial discrimination. 2 Governments buy and produce many goods and services, such as defense, education, parks and roads, which they provide for firms and households. They typically buy co

17、mputers but write programs they need to operate them. Governments also produce and sell goods. In many countries the phone company is government-owned, like the electric system. 3 Governments also make transfer payments, such as Social Security and unemployment benefits to individuals. Transfer paym

18、ents are payments for which no current economic goods or service is provided in return and therefore do not represent expenditure for the purchase of final products. A firefighters salary is not a transfer payment, but welfare benefits are. 4 Governments pay for the goods they buy and for the transf

19、er payments they make mostly by collecting taxes, including personal income taxes, property taxes, social insurance taxes, and sales taxes. Over 60% of the government revenue in the U.S. is collected by the federal government. This does not include taxes collected by state and city government. 5 Eve

20、ry market economy suffers from business cycles. Governments, through their control of taxes and government spending and through their ability to control the quantity of money, often attempt to modify fluctuations in the business cycle. For instance, the government may reduce taxes in a recession in

27、es Endangered species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of extinction. Extinction is actually a normal process in the course of evolution. Since the formation of the earth, many more species have become extinct than those exist today. These species slowly disappeared because of cha

28、nge of climate and their failure to adapt to such conditions as competition and predation. Since the 1600s, however, the process of extinction has greatly accelerated as a result of both human population growth and technological encroachment on natural ecology systems. Today the majority of the worl

29、ds environments are changing faster than the ability of most species to adapt to such changes through natural selection. Species become extinct or endangered for number of reasons, but the primary cause is the destruction of natural habitats. Drainage of wetlands, cutting and clearing of forests, gr

30、owth of cities, and highway and dam construction have seriously reduced available natural habitats. As the various surroundings become fragments, the remaining animal population crowd into smaller areas, causing further destruction of natural surroundings. Species in these small “islands” lose conta

31、ct with other populations of their extinction. Some private and government efforts have been organized to save declining species. Laws were made in some countries in the early 1900s to protect wild animals from commercial trade and killing. International endeavors are shown in the convention on Inte

32、rnational Trade in Endangered Species, approved by 51 nations. Its purpose is to restrict exploitation of wild animals and plants by regulating and restricting trade in certain species. How effective such laws will be in various countries, however, depends on enforcement and support by the people an

33、d the courts. Because of lack of law enforcement, the willingness of some segments of society to trade in endangered species, the activities of people who catch and kill animals illegally and dealers who supply the trade, the future of many species is in doubt in spite of legal protection. According

34、 to the passage, which of the following is the most important factor causing the rapid extinction of many species since the 17th century? （分数：3.00）A.Human beings are not aware of the importance of preserving endangered species.B.Some endangered species have already reached the end of their life span

35、 in evolution.C.The development of human society has greatly affected natural ecology systems.D.The worlds climate has changed greatly that most species cannot survive.32.In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “islands” refers to （分数：3.00）A.the lands that are completely surrounded by

36、 water.B.the wild animals breeding grounds protected by law.C.the pieces of land separated by modern buildings and roads.D.the small and isolated areas inhabited by certain species.33.This passage mentions all of the following causes for the extinction of many species EXCEPT （分数：3.00）A.natural selec

37、tion of species.B.various natural disasters.C.commercial trade and killingD.destruction of natural surroundings.34.According to the passage, which of the following is most important in saving declining species? （分数：3.00）A.governments should make some laws to protect endangered species.B.People shoul

38、d pay more attention to the protection of natural surroundings.C.Relevant law must be made and enforced with the support of the peopleD.Some organizations should warn people not to trade in endangered animals.35.How does the author feel about the prospect of protecting endangered species from being

39、extinct? （分数：3.00）A.WorriedB.OptimisticC.IndifferentD.Confident36. 第二篇 Americans Get Touchy The New York Times recently reported that American teens are hugging practically everyone they see. Say goodbye to the greetings of the past, from the hands-off “Whats up!“ to the handshake or high-five2. For

40、 young people across the country, hugging is the new “Hello“. Girls are hugging girls. Boys are hugging boys. Girls and boys are hugging each other. And, like every major trend, there are lots of variations on the form. Theres the classic, full-body, arms-around-the-person bear hug, the casual one-a

41、rmed side hug, the group hug and the hug from behind. Theres the handshake that turns into a hug and the hug that turns into a pat on the back. As trends go, this one seems pretty innocent. But some parents, teachers and school administrators are worried nonetheless. Will young people who arent as c

42、omfortable with physical contact feel peer pressured into hugging? Will kids who dont receive hugs feel left Out3? Could an extra-long hug slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment? In response to some of these concerns, some schools have set up new rules to limit or eliminate huggi

43、ng. One school head has created a three-second limitation4 for hugs at her school. A few schools have taken even more drastic measures, placing a ban on all forms of touching between students. A few important points are being left out of the discussion. While the US has traditionally been reserved a

44、bout touching - saving hugs and kisses for relatives, romantic partners and very close friends - people in many other parts of the world have been greeting each other this way for ages. In Latin America or Western Europe, in countries like Spain, France, and Italy, a kiss on the cheek is common amon

45、g women, as well as among women and men who are not romantically involved. The cheek-kiss varies by region. Sometimes it is just an air kiss blown past the face. In other places, the proper way of greeting is to deliver a kiss upon both cheeks, or sometimes even a triplet of kisses performed by kiss

46、ing one cheek, then the other, then back to the first. Latin American men are more likely to shake hands when greeting other men, but in some countries like Turkey, its not unusual for men who know each other well to exchange kisses on the cheek. Meanwhile, for the Maori people of New Zealand, a tra

47、ditional greeting called the “hongi“ involves pressing noses together. So, from a global perspective, the new trend of teen hugging in America is not so “new“ after all. People all around the world move in close to say hello, and Americans are just now joining in. The word “practically“ in the first

48、 paragraph could be best replaced by （分数：3.00）A.certainlyB.nearlyC.activelyD.voluntarily37.Which of the following is NOT among the typical ways of greetings in the past? （分数：3.00）A.hands off “Whats up“B.handshakeC.high-fiveD.embrace38.Some parents, teachers and school administrators concern the new

49、trend of hugging for the following reasons EXCEPT: （分数：3.00）A.Some young people get involved into the trend due to peer pressure.B.Those who dont receive hugs feel left out.C.Theres the danger that hugging slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment.D.Diseases could be transmitted more easily through the extra-long body contact.39.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? （分数：3.00）A.Teenagers across the US hug everyone they see in nearly the same way.B.Although s
