To pollute means to contaminatetopsoil or something by introducing impurities which make (31) unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many form. We
17、 see it, smell it, (32) it, drink it, and stumble through it. We literally lived in and breathe pollution, and (33) surprisingly; it is beginning to (34) our health, our happiness, and our civilization. Once we thought of pollution (35) meaning simply the smogthe choking, stinging, dirty (36) that h
18、overs over cities. But air pollution, while it is (37) the most dangerous, is only one type of contamination among several (38) attack the most basic life functions. Through the uncontrolled use of insecticides, man has polluted the land, (39) the wildlife. By (40) sewage and chemicals into rivers a
19、nd lakes, we have contaminated our (41) water. We are polluting the oceans, too, killing the fish and (42) depriving ourselves (43) an invaluable food supply. Part of the problem is our exploding (44). More and more people are producing more wastes. But this problem is intensified by our “throw-away
20、“ technology. Each year Americans (45) of 7 million autos, 20 million tons of waste paper, 25 million pounds of toothpaste tubes and 48 million cans.

23、exts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 Today TV audiences all over the world are accustomed to the sight of American astronauts in tip-top condition, with fair hair, crew-cuts, good teeth, an uncomplicated sense of humour
24、and a severely limited non-technical vocabulary. What marks out an astronaut from his earthbound fellow human beings is something of a difficult problem. Should you wish to interview him, you must apply beforehand, and you must be prepared for a longish wait, even if your application meets with succ
25、ess. It is, in any case, out of the question to interview an astronaut about his family life or personal activities, because all the astronauts have contracts with an American magazine under conditions forbidding any unauthorized disclosures about their private lives. Certain obvious qualities are n
26、eeded. Any would be spaceman must be in perfect health, must have powers of concentration (since work inside a spacecraft is exceptionally demanding) and must have considerable courage. Again, space-work calls for dedication. Courage and dedication are particularly essential. In the well-known case
27、of the Challenger seven crew members lost their lives in space because of the faulty equipment in the shuttle. Another must is outstanding scientific expertise. It goes without saying that they all have to have professional aeronautical qualifications and experience. A striking feature of the astron
28、auts is their ages. For the younger man, in his twenties, say, space is out. Only one of the fifty men working for NASA in 1970 was under 30.

29、the late thirties. The crew members of Apollo 11 were all born well before the Second World War. In 1986 the Challenger astronauts had an average age of 39. The range was from 35 to 46. In a society where marital continuity is not always exhibited, the astronauts record in this respect hits you in t
30、he eye. Of all the married men in NASA group, only two or three are divorced from their wives. Mind you, it is hard to tell whether something in the basic character of an astronaut encourages fidelity or whether the selection process demands that a candidate should be happily married. The NASA astro
31、nauts live in unattractive small communities dotted here and there around the base in Texas. You would expect them to find their friends from among their professional associates, but this is not the case. Rather, they prefer to make friends with the normal folk in their districts, A good job, too, A
32、stronauts, like everybody else, must get fed up with talking shop all the time, and, whereas they are indeed an elite, their daily life outside work should be as normal as possible, if only for the sake of their families. As for the astronauts political leanings, they seem to be towards the right. T
33、his may be due to the fact that a large proportion of the astronauts have a military background. On the other hand, it could be just coincidence. 51 Details of the private life of an astronaut are hard to come by, because they are （ A） his own business and privacy. （ B） secrets as far as interviews
34、are concerned. （ C） the property of an American magazine. （ D） the first rate national confidential information. 52 To audience, the typical American astronaut （ A） has a limited vocabulary. （ B） is a clean-cut, cheerful and frank guy. （ C） cant understand a sophisticated joke. （ D） is well-built bu
35、t rather slow-witted. 53 In politics, astronauts are generally （ A） democrats. （ B） republicans. （ C） conservatives. （ D） communists. 54 The phrase“ talking shop“ (Line 4, Para. 6) probably means （ A） talk about shopping. （ B） discuss ones work with colleagues. （ C） exchange personal news. （ D） talk
36、 with friends in a group. 55 Which of the statements is NOT true? （ A） Astronauts have a good job which demands high. （ B） The divorce rate in NASA is very low. （ C） The NASA astronauts mostly find friends from among their work. （ D） There is no younger man in his twenties in the spaceship. 56 At da
37、wn one morning in early May, Sean Cosgrove is stashing piles of maps, notes and photocopied documents in his gym bag before heading for West Milford High, a rural school in northernmost New Jersey. On his 30-minute commute, the young former investment banker tries to dream up new ways of lifting the
38、 monumentally forgettable Mexican War off the textbook page and into his students imaginations. Can he invoke the storied memories of Robert E. Lee, who cut his first military exploits on the plains of Veracuz or will he be met with thundering responses of “Whos Lee“? Should he raise James K. Polk o

Lets think some more. Well, theres always the Alamo. And hey, isnt that the teachers parking lot up ahead? Its never
40、an easy task. These big kids in big jeans and ball caps, come to his history classes believing that history is about as useful as Latin. Most are either unaware or unimpressed that the areas iron forges once produced artillery cannon for George Washingtons army. Their sense of history orbits more na
41、rrowly around last months adventures on “ShopRite Strip“, the students nickname for downtown West Milford, once a factory town, now a Magnet for middle-class vacationers.

42、could think John Brown was the governor of Massachusetts“, moans Cosgrove, 28, pointing to one students test paper. He had to be sleeping for days on end. “The same morning, students in his college bound class could name only one U.S. Supreme Court justiceClarence Thomas. All his wit, energy and bey
43、ond-the-textbook research cant completely reverse the students poor preparation in history, their lack of general knowledge, their numbness to the outside world. Its the bane of history teachers at every level. When University of Vermont professor James Loewen asked his senior social-science majors
44、who fought in the Vietnam War, 22 percent answered North and South Korea.

49、anuary. The ocean is a great moderating influence on the planet, soaking up heat around the tropics and depositing it in the cooler polar regions. Yet scientists know surprisingly little about how the sea does thisthey estimate that the North Atlantic alone moves energy equivalent to the output of several hundred million power stations. Last year oceanographers began their biggest international research initiative to learn more about ocean circulation. The first results from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment demonstrate ju
