Sears Tower has a unique statistical profile: Construction of Sears Tower took three years, and during peak times, some 1,600 people worked
13、 on the project. The building opened in 1973. The Tower“s framework contains 76,000 tons of steel. The building contains enough concrete to build an eight-lane highway, five miles long.

We are immunized from birth ag
18、ainst many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibil
19、ity of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each yea
20、r and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-ear often brings out a man“s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet an
21、d pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The surpr
22、ising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks;
23、 and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten. It is high time that a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not stric
24、t enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to t
25、ake a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person“s driving ability. Present dr
26、inking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specification for manufactures. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inor
27、dinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-ears.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.B.Th
28、ousands of people the world over are killed each year.C.The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.D.Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.(2).The italicized word “condone“ (Para. 3) probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.dislikeB.conductC.forgiveD.forbid(3).The sentence “his car becomes

31、ingD.pessimisticThe Great Exhibition held in London in 1851 was probably the first show to be called a world fair. Since then there have been 31 universal exhibitions and many cities 1 to have a world fair. In 1928 the International Bureau of Expositions was founded in Paris to coordinate these even
32、ts and ensure that there is only one each year. There are various and interlinked objectives 2 holding a world fair.

Early examples 13 London“s Crystal Palace and Paris“s Eiffel Tower and a more recent one is Seattle“s Space Needle. These structures will remain a 14 legacy to the area, as will any general infrastr

Journeys by stagecoach over dirt roads were long and arduous. Passengers (most of whom were wealthy) came to expect a warm bed and a hearty meal on their overnight stops. English inns and taverns, in particular, gained a reputation for cleanliness and comfort and set the standard for accommodations in other parts of Europe. A typical inn had a dining ro
