Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answ

27、er on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well,

28、 again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the old road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a “Be Kind to Other Dri

29、vers“ campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes

30、 a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. M

31、any drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the r

32、oad would be clear anyway； or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered

33、with the dead bodies of these grannies. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists cant even learn to

34、 drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart. 31 According to the passage, troubles on the road are

35、 primarily caused by_. （ A） peoples attitude towards the road-hog （ B） the rhythm of modern life （ C） the behavior of the driver （ D） traffic conditions 32 The sentence “You might tolerate the old road-hog. the rule.“ (Para. 1) implies that （ A） our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists

36、（ B） rude drivers can be met only occasionally （ C） the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog （ D） nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists 33 By “good sense“, the writer means_. （ A） the drivers ability to understand and react reasonably （ B） the drivers prompt r

37、esponse to difficult and severe conditions （ C） the drivers tolerance of rude or even savage behavior （ D） the drivers acknowledgement of politeness and regulations 34 Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, _. （ A） road users should make more sacrifice （ B） driver

38、s should be ready to yield to each other （ C） drivers should have more communication among themselves （ D） drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others 35 In the writers opinion, _. （ A） strict traffic regulations are badly needed （ B） drivers should apply road politeness properly

39、 （ C） rude drivers should be punished （ D） drivers should avoid traffic jams 35 Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands into farmland

40、, and made lakes and reservoirs out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways. However, mans changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial re

41、sults. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles; smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of countryside. The air in cities

42、is becoming increasingly unhealthy. The pollution of water is equally harmful. In the sea, pollution from oil is increasing and is killing enormous numbers of algae (水藻 )， fish and birds. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed. The same problem exists in rivers. Industrial wastes h

43、ave already made many rivers lifeless. Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth. 36 Man has changed his physical environment with a view to_. （ A） altering the physical features of the earth （ B） modifying the face of th

44、e planet （ C） improving his surroundings （ D） bettering his way of life 37 According to the passage, pollution of the air and water is caused by_. （ A） thousands of tons of gases coming out of the exhausts of motor vehicles （ B） the changes of the environment that technology has brought to man （ C）

47、o warn people not to change the natural environment （ D） to call attention to the protection of the natural environment 40 Mankinds fascination with gold is as old as civilization itself. The ancient Egyptians es-teemed gold, which had religious significance to them, and King Tutankhamun was buried

48、in a solid-gold coffin 3 300 years ago. The wandering Israelites worshipped a golden calf, and the legendary King Midas asked that everything he touched be turned into gold. Not only is gold beautiful, but it is virtually indestructible. It will not rust or corrode (受腐 蚀，侵蚀 ); gold coins and product

49、s fabricated from the metal have survived undamaged for centuries. Gold is extremely easy to work with; one ounce, which is about the size of a cube of sugar, can be beaten into a sheet nearly 100 square feet in size, and becomes so thin that light passes through it. An ounce of gold can also be stretched into a wire 50 miles long. Gold conducts electricity better than a
