26、many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols
27、 of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure.In addition, much of the worlds economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the worlds paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one
28、 of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction.In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources
29、. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, c
30、ars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250 000 people - as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - and injure or permanently disable 10 million more. Half of the worlds people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during their lives.Since the autom
31、obile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways - about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all US wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annually in lost income and in insura
32、nce, administrative, and legal expenses.Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger.Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the worlds ci
33、ties. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the countrys air pollution.（分数：10.00）(1).Cars represent peoples _.A. occupation B. wealth C. life style D. fame（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, the average number of people killed annually in traffic accidents around the world is
34、 _.A. 18 million B. 250 000 C. 10 million D. 60 billion（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).A serious environmental problem resulting from automobiles is _.A. tragic loss of life B. traffic jamsC. air pollution D. mental stress（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from this passage that automobiles _.A. are an im
35、portant part of the worlds economyB. are becoming less dangerousC. will produce less air pollution in the futureD. are killing more people in recent years than in the past（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The title that suits the passage best is _.A. Automobile and EconomyB. Automobile and the EnvironmentC. The
36、Problems with the AutomobileD. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Automobile（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星)but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light g
37、ets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation(辐射) from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are e
38、xposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is die greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called“ rem“. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far
39、 more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until
40、 the birth of deformed (畸形的)children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation during the outward and return journeys. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo mission have been quite short. We simply do not kn
41、ow yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in space laboratory. Rugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, the
42、atmosphere is essential to man in that _.A. it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB. it provides sufficient light for plant growthC. it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD. it screens off the falling meteors（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(2).We know from the passage that _.A. exposure to
43、even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB. the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC. radiation is avoidable in space explorationD. astronauts in spacesuit neednt worry about radiation damage（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(3).The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _.A. is insignificant
44、 B. seems overestimatedC. is enormous D. remains unknown（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the Apollo mission was very successfulB. protection from space radiation is not a easy jobC. astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD. radiation is not a threat
45、to well-protected space explorers（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.(5).The best title for this passage would be _.A. The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB. Research on RadiationC. Effects of Space RadiationD. Importance of Protection against Radiation（分数：1.20）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)One of the earliest changes
46、 experienced by newly modernizing countries is the reduction of infectious disease through the diffusion of public health technology. Public health technology lowers the death rate, especially among infants and children, causing rapid population growth. Since most of the people of less developed nat
47、ions live in rural areas that cannot absorb the increased population, unemployment presses people off the land. They tend to migrate into urban areas where newly developing industry and commerce and modern consumer goods and services offer hope for employment and a better life. Unfortunately, the op
48、portunities are more apparent than real; and often the transition is more painful than pleasant.In the courses of the transition from agrarian life to modern urban living, the family undergoes major changes in function, structure, relations, and style. Functionally the family changes from a producti
49、on unit to a consumption unit. No longer is there need for a large multi-worker household to operate the familys farm interests, and the extended family household changes to the one containing only a core nuclear family. In the city children become economic liabilities rather than economic assets, and eventually families have fewer of them. Wives lose their functions as producers and maintainers of the labor force and become free to pursue extra household activities.The modern economy forces work outside th
