Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.
30、Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 At the Kyoto conference on global warming in December 1997, it became abundantly clear how complex it has become to work out international agreements relating to the environment because of economic
31、 concerns unique to each country. It is no longer enough to try to forbid certain activities or to reduce emissions of certain substances. The global challenge of the interlink between the environment and development increasingly bring us to the core of the economic life of states. During the late 1
32、980s we were able, through international agreements, to make deep cuts in emissions harmful to the ozone layer (臭氧层 ). These reductions were made possible because substitutions had been found for many of the harmful chemicals and, more important, because the harmful substances could be replaced with
33、out negative effects on employment and the economies of states. Although the threat of global warming has been known to the world for decades and all countries and leaders agree that we need to deal with the problem, we also know that the effects of measures, especially harsh measures taken in some
34、countries, would be nullified (抵消 ) if other countries do not control their emissions. Whereas the UN team on climate change has found that the emissions of carbon dioxide would have to be cut globally by 60% to stabilize the content of CO2 in the atmosphere, this path is not feasible for several re
35、asons. Such deep cuts would cause a breakdown of the world economy. Important and populous (人口众多的 ) low- or medium-income countries are not yet willing to undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. In addition, the state of world technology would not yet permit us to make such a big leap.
36、We must, however, find a solution to the threat of global warming early in the 21st century. Such a commitment would require a degree, of shared vision and common responsibilities new to humanity. Success lies in the force of imaginations, in imaging what would happen if we fail to act. Although man
37、y living in cold regions would welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summer, few would cheer the arrival of the subsequent tropical diseases, especially where there had been none. 31 The main purpose of this passage is to_. （ A） convince people that global warming is a real threat （ B） criti
38、cize some countries for refusing to cut down emissions harmful to the ozone layer （ C） analyze the problem of global warming （ D） argue against making deep cuts in emissions 32 The reason why it is difficult to get rid of the threat of global warming is that_. （ A） the leaders of many countries are
39、not fully aware of the gravity of the problem （ B） world technology is not able to solve the problem （ C） not all the countries are willing to make deep cuts in emissions （ D） many people welcome the global-warming effect of a warmer summer 33 In the passage the author implies that_. （ A） it is alwa
40、ys difficult to work out international agreements to cut down emissions harmful to the ozone layer （ B） it is no longer easy to reach international agreements relating to the environment （ C） the world has recently become aware of the threat of global warming （ D） the problem of global warming has l
41、argely been solved 34 According to the author, it is impossible at present to cut 60% of carbon dioxide emissions globally because_. （ A） it is only a goal to be reached in the future （ B） some people are lacking in imagination （ C） some people are irresponsible （ D） it would cause a collapse of the
42、 world economy 35 What should all countries do to help solve the problem of global warming? （ A） They should replace all the harmful substances. （ B） They should willingly undertake legal commitments about their energy uses. （ C） They should hold another world conference on climate change. （ D） They
43、 should provide advanced technology. 35 Imagine going to your doctor with a complaint of frequent headaches. Your doctor takes a prescription pad and writes a word on it. The word isnt “aspirin“, its “Mozart“. Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feeling. For some people,
44、romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and compassion. Religious and spiritual music can help some people feel peace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have a unique ability to heal the human bodyMozart. Scientists have found Mozarts music to be remar
45、kable in its ability to calm its listeners. It can also increase their perception, and help them express themselves more clearly. Many amazing cases have been documented using Mozart as a healing aid. For example, a tiny premature baby (早产婴儿 ) named Krissy, who weighed just 1. 5 pound at birth, was
46、on total life support. Doctors thought she had little chance of survival. Her mother insisted on playing Mozart for Krissy, and thinks it saved her daughters life. Krissy lived, but she was very small for her age and slower than the average child. At the age of four, she showed an interest in music
47、and her parents gave her violin lessons. To their astonishment, Krissy was able to play musical pieces from memory that were far beyond the ability of an average four-year-old. Playing music helped her improve in all areas of her life. Other stories have emerged about the effect of Mozarts music. Of
48、ficials in Washington State report that new arrivals from Asia learn English more quickly when they listen to Mozart. In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Mozart string quartets (弦乐四重奏 ) in city squares seem to calm pedestrian traffic. Even animals and seemingly inanimate objects respond to Mozart. In Fran
49、ce, cows serenaded (对 唱 /奏小夜曲 ) with Mozart give more milk, and in Japan, the yeast used to make sake (日本清酒 ) is ten times better when it “listens“ to Mozart. Why Mozart, rather than Bach or the Beatles? Any kind of music can have an effect on some people. But Mozart has more balance. It isnt too fast or too slow; its just right. Don Campbell, who wrote a book called The Mozart Effect, says, “Its like f
