26、rent emergency in Mexico City that has taken over our lives is nothing I could ever have imagined for me or my children. We are living in an environmental crisis, an air-pollution emergency of unprecedented severity. What it really means is that just to breathe here is to play a dangerous game with
27、your health. As parents, what terrorizes us most are reports that children are at higher risk because they breathe more times per minute. What more can we do to protect them and ourselves? Our pediatricians (儿科医师的 ) medical recommendation was simple: abandon the city permanently. We are foreigners a
28、nd we are among the small minority that can afford to leave. We are here because of my husbands work. We are fascinated by Mexicoits history and rich culture. We know that for us, this is a temporary danger. However, we cannot stand for much longer the fear we feel for our boys. We cannot stop them
29、from breathing. But for millions, there is no choice. Their lives, their jobs, their futures depend on being here. Thousands of Mexicans arrive each day in this city, desperate for economic opportunities. Thousands more are born here each day. Entire families work in the streets and practically live
30、 there. It is a familiar sight: as parents hawk goods at stoplights, their children play in the grassy highway dividers, breathing exhaust fumes. I feel guilty complaining about my personal situation; we wont be here long enough for our children to form the impression that skies are colored only gra
31、y. And yet the government cannot do what it must to end this problem. For any country, especially a developing Third World economy like Mexicos, the idea of barring from the capital city enough cars, closing enough factories and spending the necessary billions on public transportation is simply not
32、an option. So when things get bad, as in the current emergency, Mexico takes half measuresprohibiting some more cars from circulating, stopping some factories from producingthat even its own officials concede arent adequate. The word “emergency“ implies the unusual. But when daily life itself is an
33、emergency, the concept loses its meaning. It is human nature to try to adapt to that which we cannot change, or to mislead ourselves into believing we can adapt. 31 According to the passage, the current emergency in Mexico City refers to _ . （ A） serious air-pollution （ B） economic crisis （ C） unemp
34、loyment （ D） natural disaster 32 Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Kids are in greater danger than grown-ups in Mexico City. （ B） The author is not a native Mexican. （ C） The authors husband is a pediatrician. （ D） The Mexican history and culture appeal to
35、the author. 33 The word “hawk“ (Para.4) most probably means _ . （ A） sell （ B） transport （ C） place （ D） deliver 34 The Mexican government takes half measures to solve the pollution problem because _ . （ A） Mexican economy depends very much on cars and factories （ B） it is not wise enough to come up
36、 with effective measures （ C） Mexicans are able to adapt themselves to the current emergency （ D） Mexicans enjoy playing dangerous games with their health 35 The purpose of the passage is to _ . （ A） describe the harmful air-pollution （ B） explain the way to prevent air-pollution （ C） show the worri
37、es about the air-pollution （ D） recommend a method to avoid air-pollution 35 It is reported that alcohol abuse on college campuses is on the rise. But alcohol abuse is only one symptom of a larger campus crisis. There is a growth in racism, sexism, assault, attempted suicide, theft, property damage
38、and most disappointing of all, cheating on exams. A generation has come to college quite fragile, not very secure about who it is, fearful of its lack of identity and without confidence in its future. Many students are ashamed of themselves and afraid of relationships. It is happening because the ge
39、neration now entering college has experienced few authentic connections with adults in its lifetime. I call this the “Culture of Neglect“, and weparents, teachers, professors and administratorsare the primary architects. It begins at home, where social and economic factors result in less family time
40、 for adults. Most children and teenagers are being reared without mothers being around, with television as their only supervisor, and there is little expectation that they learn personal responsibility. Immersed in themselves, they are left to their peers. We have failed to model a culture of respon
41、sibility. We have created a culture characterized by marriage failures, mass schooling that demands only minimal effort and media idols subliminally (下意识的 )teaching disrespect for authority and wisdom. When the children do wrong, it is not their fault. On the contrary, its our fault. It seems that t
42、he children are always owned something by the busy parents and by the overworked teachers. The children take it for granted that we should take responsibility for their acts. How could college students reared in the culture of neglect have any notion of obligation and responsibility? A nation of ind
43、ividuals who cant read or write well, with no sense of major human questions, who cant think critically or show interest in learning and who are unable to act responsibility will be ill equipped to compete in any new world order. A generation of neglect will shape our future. Lets wait and see. 36 W
44、hich of the following is not included in the campus crisis? （ A） Alcohol abuse. （ B） Cheating on exams. （ C） Racial discrimination. （ D） Lack of financial support. 37 What does “Immersed in themselves, they are left to their peers“ mean in Paragraph 4? （ A） Without parents guidance, children look at
45、 what their peers do and follow them. （ B） Children are left to themselves and do what they like to do. （ C） No one takes care of the children, so they seek their peers help. （ D） Children are immersed in deep water, only their peers can help them out. 38 The main reasons that can account for the “c
46、ulture of neglect“ are the following EXCEPT _ . （ A） social and economic factors result in less family time for adults （ B） women do not quit their jobs and take care of their children as they used to do （ C） there are so many disrupted families （ D） media idols intentionally disrespect authority an
47、d wisdom 39 According to the passage, which of the statements is true? （ A） Our children dont need to be responsible for their behavior. （ B） We fail to teach the generation what responsibility and obligation is. （ C） No parents expect their children learn personal responsibility. （ D） The generatio
48、n now entering the college has established close connections with adults. 40 The tone of the passage is _ . （ A） optimistic （ B） pessimistic （ C） cheerful （ D） indifferent 40 Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷淡 ) and stagnation (呆
49、滞 ). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂 ) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way. Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked f
