36、n ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people. Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly
37、 wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences
38、. Of the many values that hold civilization together-honesty, kindness, and so on-accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law-and, ultimately, no society. My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who rerun, or have ne
39、ver learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on peoples behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Fortunately there are still communities-smaller towns, usually-where schools maintain discipline and wh
40、ere parents hold up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not tolerated-they simply are not done!“ Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has gone. He considers your property his property; he tak
41、es what he wants, including your life if you enrage him. The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivilege
42、d upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home. I dont believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the crim
43、inal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it. 52 What the wise man said suggests that _. （ A） i
44、ts unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil （ B） its certain that evil will prevail it good men do nothing about it （ C） its only natural for virtue to defeat evil （ D） its desirable for good men to keep away from evil 53 According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a cr
45、ime, _. （ A） society is to be held responsibilities （ B） modern civilization is responsible for it （ C） the criminal himself should bear the blame （ D） the standards of living should be improved 54 Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have _. （ A） less serf-discipline （ B） bett
46、er sense of discipline （ C） more mutual respect （ D） less effective government 55 The writer is sorry to have noticed that _. （ A） people in large cities tend to excuse criminals （ B） people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards （ C） todays society lacks sympathy for people in d
47、ifficulty （ D） people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities 56 The key point of the passage is that _. （ A） stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families （ B） more good examples should be set for people to follow （ C） more restrictions should be imposed
48、 on peoples behavior （ D） more people should accept the value of accountability 56 The long years of food shortage in this country has suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应 ) is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to
49、hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect. The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been une
