16、 Japanese, 【 31】 _young people abandoned the values of economic success and began【 32】 _for new sets of values to【 33】 _them happiness, “ writes sociologist Yasuhiro in Comparative Civilizations Review. Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual s pursuit of【 34】 _and less on the v

17、alues of work, family, and society. Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work, 【 35】 _their counterparts in the United States and Korea. In a 1993【 36】 _of college students in the three countries, only 10% of the Japanese regarded 【 37】 _as a primary value compared with 47% of Korean st

18、udents and 27% of American students. A greater 【 38】 _of Japanese aged 18 24 also preferred easy jobs【 39】 _heavy responsibility. The younger Japanese are. showing less concern for family values as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected【 40】 _the Japanese government in 19

19、93 shows that only 23% of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast【 41】 _63% of young Americans.

22、ections: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 50 In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: Salt is bad for you regardless of your health. Politicians also got on board. “

23、There is a direct relationship, “ US congressman Neal Smith noted, “between the amount of sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early death. “ Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone

24、 too far. “All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary, “ Dr. Dustan insists. “For most of us it probably doesnt make much difference how much salt we eat. “ Dustans most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure underwent no change at all when plac

25、ed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced. Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced. “An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake ha

26、s probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population, “notes Dr. John H. Laragh. “So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense. “ Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable “moderation“ in salt consumption. For an average p

27、erson, a moderate amount might run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon. The e-quivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food. The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at the table. Those with kidney, liver or

28、 heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises. But even the very vocal “low salt“ exponent, Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr. admits that “We do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension. “ In fact, there is increasing scientific evidence that other factors

29、 may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity(much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predis-potition; stress. “It is not your enemy, “ says Dr. Laragh, “Salt is the No. 1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you dont need it is wrong. Unless

30、your doctor has proven that you have a salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up. “ 51 According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed_. （ A） exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health （ B） cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disor

31、ders （ C） correlates highly with some diseases （ D） is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease 52 From Dr. Dustans study we can infer that_. （ A） a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people （ B） the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with ones blood pressure （ C） the reduction o

32、f salt intake can cure a hypertensive patient （ D） an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone 53 In the third paragraph, Dr. Laragh implies that_. （ A） people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt （ B） doctors should not advise people to avoid salt （ C） an adequate to excessive

33、 salt intake is recommended for people in disease （ D） excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population 54 The phrase “ vocal. exponent“(Line 2, Para. 5)most probably refers to_. （ A） eloquent doctor （ B） articulate opponent （ C） loud speaker （ D） strong advocate 55 What is t

34、he main message of this text? （ A） That the salt scare is not justified. （ B） That the orgin of hypertension is now found. （ C） That the moderate use of salt is recommended. （ D） That salt consumption is to be promoted. 55 As the 21st century begins, a number of leaders in politics, education, and o

35、ther professions believe that the United States must adopt some new values to go along with the old traditional ones. What new values should Americans adopt? This is a very difficult question to answer. Certainly, a greater value should be placed on the conservation of natural resources; Americans s

36、hould learn to use less and waste less. But conservation has never been a strong value to Americans, who have believed that their country offered an endless, abundant supply of natural resources. Recently, progress has been made more and more Americans are recycling their paper, cans, bottles, and o

37、ther goods but old wasteful habits die hard. Furthermore, the need to protect the environment may conflict with the need for jobs, as in the Northwest, where conservationists battle lumber companies that want to cut down ancient redwood trees. A belief in the value of conservation is still compared

38、with other American values; it can become stronger only as Americans see the need for it more clearly. In addition, Americans may need to place a strong value on cooperation on a national scale to achieve important national objectives. The American idea of the national good has never been based on n

39、ational cooperation but rather on the freedom of the individual, maintaining those conditions that provide the greatest freedom and prosperity for the individual. It is far more difficult for Americans to accept shared sacrifice for the common good and well-being of the entire country. For example,

40、although the majority of Americans believe that it is extremely important to balance the national budget and reduce the deficit, they do not want to see cuts in government programs that benefit them personally. The American value of competition also hinders the development of a spirit of national co

41、operation. Competition sometimes encourages feelings of suspicion rather than the mutual trust that is necessary for successful national cooperation. Although Americans often cooperate successfully on the local level in neighborhood groups and churches , for example they become suspicious when the n

42、ational government becomes involved. For example, on the national level, they may see themselves as part of an interest group that is competing with other interest groups for government funds. A request by the national government for shared sacrifice may be seen as coercive and destructive rather th

43、an voluntary and constructive. However, the demands of the 21st century may compel Americans to place a greater value on national cooperation to solve problems that affect them all, directly and indirectly. 56 The best title of this passage could be_. （ A） Which is Better, New Value or Old Value （ B

44、） Conservation vs. Need for Jobs （ C） The Need for New National Values （ D） Cooperation and Competition 57 According to the passage, which of the following is not true? （ A） Some Americans would not accept the value of conservation and environment protection, because this value would probably make t

45、hem unemployed. （ B） Many Americans have been used to wasting, so it will be difficult for them to accept the new value of conservation. （ C） Some old values are still having a very strong influence on American people, although they are harmful in this new age. （ D） Most Americans have fully realize

46、d the need to protect the environment, so they have taken measures to recycle junked goods. 58 What is the basis for the American notion of national good? （ A） Individual freedom. （ B） Personal property. （ C） National cooperation. （ D） Both A and B. 59 The author gave an example in the third paragra

47、ph in order to_. （ A） emphasize the need to place a stronger value on national cooperation （ B） explain why the American idea has been based on individual freedom （ C） illustrate the fact that Americans will not sacrifice their personal interest for the good of the entire country （ D） support the id

48、ea that Americans needs the spirit of national cooperation to achieve important national objectives in the 21st century 60 The value of competition works against the spirit of national cooperation in that_. （ A） it makes people not believe in the government （ B） it causes people to suspect but not t

49、o trust each other （ C） it makes people even unable to cooperate well on local levels （ D） it encourages people to gain success through individual hard work 60 The idea of a fish being able to produce electricity strong enough to light lamp bulbs or even to run a small electric motor is almost unbelievable, but several kinds of fish are able to do this. Even more strangely, this curious power has been acq
