14、lthough these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. (76) UOn several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manu
15、facturing and automobile traffic/UIn fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect“-conser
16、ving heat reflected from the earth and raising the worlds average temperature. If this view is correct and the worlds temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.(77) UAnother view, less wi
17、dely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earths temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous./U A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in ma
18、ny of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by exports in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each oth
19、er and the worlds temperature will stay about the same as it is now.（分数：10.00）(1).As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _（分数：2.00）A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaging effec

23、kelihood of a new ice ageBPassage 2/BHarriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book, “Uncle Toms Cab- in“. But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success. (78) UThe publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him,
24、and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress. /UBut when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in EnglandFor a while it outsold (销得比多) every book in
25、the world, except the Bible.Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained Americas most popular play for 80 years.(79) UIt might appear that“ Uncle Toms Cabin was universally popular, but this was certainly not true./U Many people
26、 during those pre-Civil War daysparticularly defenders of the slavery sys temcondemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品).Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery (When asked how she came to write the book, she replied, “God wrote it.“ ), and she tried to convi

She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beeper Stowe began her book.Its vast influence strengthe
29、ned the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians(历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said, “So, this is the little lady who started this big war.
