Poor conditions in these

14、cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditi

15、onal life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In pract

16、ice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achie

17、ved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive

18、attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area. （分数：17.50）(1).What does the word“ urban“ (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?（分数：3.50）A.Of the city.B.Out of

19、 work.C.In a bad condition.D.Of enormous size.(2).Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_.（分数：3.50）A.they can hardly support their families on farmsB.they are unhappy with their life in the countryC.the rural areas are too crowded with peopleD.they hope to have their own business(3)

20、In the authors view, solving the cities problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is_.（分数：3.50）A.practicalB.possibleC.not realisticD.not sufficient(4).According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if_.（分数：3.50）A.traditional methods of farming are well keptB.condition

21、s in rural areas are much improvedC.the government can provide more jobsD.violence could be controlled in cities(5).Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?（分数：3.50）A.Their expectations.B.Their interests.C.Their income.D.Their attitude.Most of us grow up taki

22、ng certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth“. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers cant be bad for us. However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and unive

23、rsities. Few professors require students to share the professors own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that professors insist that you ch

24、ange your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing. If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professor

25、s want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors dont tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think. On the other hand, if you

26、intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness. （分数：17.50）(1).In the first paragraph,

27、 the writer tries to tell us that people_.（分数：3.50）A.easily accept certain things without a second thoughtB.grow up through learning certain things in lifeC.are forming their views during their growthD.have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old(2).Nowadays, most colleges and universities e

28、ncourage students to_.（分数：3.50）A.criticize othersB.share professors beliefsC.give their own ideasD.change their own beliefs(3).The word “shaky“ (Line 1, Para. 3) most probably means“_“.（分数：3.50）A.creativeB.firmC.FalseD.weak(4).To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach

29、 them_.（分数：3.50）A.choice of their premisesB.the way to think independentlyC.skills of drawing conclusionsD.different kinds of argument(5).According to the writer, the right way to argue is to_.（分数：3.50）A.argue mainly for the sake of arguingB.prove it with a good conclusionC.support your idea with so

30、und reasoningD.examine others ideas criticallyHistorians and philosophers agree that ever since the development of agriculture, human beings have had an effect on the natural habitat (动、植物生息地) of many plants and animal species. As human populations have increased, as many as 6,000 species are disapp

31、earing each year. A number 10,000 times greater than before man appeared on the planet. In one day alone, say scientists, some 45 kinds of plants and animals will die, some 17,500 species will be wiped out. In 1977, the United States Congress took an important step to help the ever-increasing number

32、 of endangered species. With the enforcement of the Endangered Species Act, some species have gained more public recognition than others. Elephants and whales, for example, have received far more media attention than have the smaller, less known, and less attractive species that are also endangered.

33、 Yet it is the tiny species, such as bugs and bacteria, that keep the planet in balance. Scientists are becoming even more concerned with the fact that without equal concern for these species, the planets biological diversity will be destroyed, leaving us with a loss of potential new food and drugs.

34、 On the other hand, some scientists argue that the extinction issue is being exaggerated(夸大) , and that people are “crying wolf“ by describing the loss of species as more alarming than it really is. History proves that every species . Evolution of species, they say, naturally involves the extinction

35、 of species；man has no control. In addition, many people point to the fact that the world is already lacking in resources, food, and adequate health care. Concerned more with economic survival, they ask whether it is, in fact, realistic to make a fuss over saving the elephant or other species that m

36、ay become extinct many years from now, when people have families to feed tomorrow. These people question a law that puts the continuation of lower forms of life above man s own survival.
