25、Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 The law is a great mass of rules, showing when and how far a man is liable to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or property to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained in

26、books. A lawyer learns them in the main by reading books. He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years study to practise, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about

27、 some new questions which he has to answer. The power to use books, then, is a talent which would be the lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility and fineness of mental fibre to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding w

28、hat a book contains, and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants. But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in r

29、eal life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way. 31 The first thing a law student has to do is to_. （ A） read books （ B） practise law （ C） hand over

30、money （ D） answer questions 32 After three years of reading, he_. （ A） can study law （ B） still has to continue reading （ C） can stop reading （ D） is able to give intelligent answers 33 As it is used in the passage, the word “flexibility“ (Para. 3) means_. （ A） capacity or power to do something phys

31、ical or mental （ B） quality of being able to do something （ C） curve or turn, esp. in a road, race course, river, etc. （ D） action of being able to change according to different circumstances 34 The principal business of a lawyer is_. （ A） to discuss the material he has read （ B） to learn about real

32、 life （ C） to advise people who have legal problems （ D） to study the law 35 A good lawyer should know how to_. （ A） analyze and interpret what he reads （ B） collect ideas （ C） be flexible in all things （ D） be powerful 35 Here in the United States, before agricultural activities destroyed the natur

33、al balance, there were great migrations of Rocky Mountain locusts (Melanoplus spretus). Great migrating hordes of these insects once darkened the skies on the plains east of the Rockies where crops were often destroyed; the worst years were those from 1874 to 1877. One of these migrating swarms was

34、estimated to contain 124 billion locusts. During another migration in Nebraska it was estimated that the swarm of locusts averaged half a mile high and was 100 miles wide and 300 miles long. Usually, these swarms take off from the ground against the wind, but, once airborne, they turn and fly with i

35、t. Warm convection (对流 ) currents help to lift them, often to great heights. During the great locust plagues the situation in Nebraska became so serious that the original state constitution had to be rewritten to take care of the economic problems. The new document was known as “The Grasshopper Cons

36、titution“. It is now believed that these locusts were a migratory form or phase of the lesser migratory locust, which is still common there. In this respect, the North American migratory locusts resemble their African relatives. In both regions the migratory forms arise as a result of crowding and c

37、limatic factors. Migratory forms are apparently natural adaptations which bring about dispersal when locust populations become too crowded. Fortunately for our farmers, the migratory formthe so called spretus speciesno longer seems to occur regularly, although there was a serious outbreak as late as

38、 1938 in midwestern United States and Canada. Actually, there is no reason why the destructive migratory form might not again appear if circumstances should become favorable. 36 Which of the following is the best title for the passage? （ A） The Life Cycle of Locusts. （ B） Migratory Locusts in the Un

39、ited States. （ C） Locust Plagues in Nebraska. （ D） The Reproductive Capability of the Locust. 37 According to the passage, the worst destruction by locusts in the plains area east of the Rockies occurred during the_. （ A） eighteenth century （ B） early nineteenth century （ C） late nineteenth century

40、（ D） twentieth century 38 It can be inferred from the passage that the state constitution of Nebraska was rewritten in order to_. （ A） make the constitution more understandable to the public （ B） encourage farmers to leave the state （ C） solve difficulties that resulted from loss of crops （ D） provi

41、de for a regular census of the locust population 39 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as influencing the migration of locusts? （ A） Darkness. （ B） Agricultural activities. （ C） Warm air currents. （ D） Overcrowding. 40 The passage supports which of the following conclusions? （ A）

42、 The outbreak of locusts in 1938 was more serious than any other in history. （ B） Nebraska farmers had no locust problems in the years 18741877. （ C） There is a possibility that crops in the Unite States might be destroyed by locusts in the future. （ D） There is a chance that African migratory locus

43、ts may make their way to the United States. 41 Politically, the nations of the world will become more tightly integrated because of rapidly improving telecommunications and transportation. A global culture will develop rapidly as the nations colonize each other. The emerging global culture will pick

44、 and choose its clothing style, culinary (烹饪用的 ) specialties, drinks, games, sports, customs, and other cultural artifacts from countries everywhere. A network of superhighways will link up the nations of Asia, Europe, and Africa Macroengineers now are talking enthusiastically about a tunnel under t

45、he Mediterranean at Gibraltar (直布罗陀 ) to link Europe with Africa. Construction might start early in the twenty-first century, but financing such a project poses a major challenge. Meanwhile, superhighways will crisscross the Eurasian land mass, allowing residents of Shanghai and Hong Kong to drive c

46、omfortably and rapidly to Paris, Rome, and Stockholm. Travelers in a hurry will, of course, still prefer to fly, especially over long distances. Space-planes should be in service within the next 20 years, making flights from Tokyo to New York in only a couple of hours. On the ground, high-speed magl

47、ev trains (磁悬浮火车 ) will whisk passengers to their destinations. Humans will push out the frontiers of human settlement in all directions. The moon will acquire its first permanent base, and perhaps the first Lunarians (月球居民 ) will be born. The human population living in space will rise steadily, as

48、manufacturing develops abroad spacecraft and the resources of asteroids (小行星 ) are explored. Advancing technology will also solve many of the problems of living and working in unfriendly environments on Earth, so the population of Antarctica and the polar regions will climb steadily. The forbidding

49、Himalaya Mountains may experience a development boom, including, perhaps, luxury hotels for tourists on once-forbidding Mount Everest. The pace of ocean development will speed up. Ocean farming will become increasingly attractive as food prices rise. Studies have shown that the biological productivity of the ocean can be greatly increased by adding certain chemicals. An “ocean rush“ could develop, and coasta
