In the Old World, the victory of Charles Martel at Tours had che
16、cked the Moslem advance in Europe; but the Moslem forces, having besieged Constantinpole for a second time, were still strong enough to keep the Mediterranean as their private sea and at the same time to crush the Maitraka dynasty in India and drive the Tang dynasty s frontier guards of out Chinese
17、Turkestan. In the New World, although no one in the Old World was aware of it, a period of economic prosperity and cultural flowering in what are now Mexico and Guatemala was ending in disaster. In the highlands of Mexico the urban center of Teotihuac 6 n was sacked around 700 A.D.; in the Yucatan l

21、in the tropics, what does it have to do with me? “ The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruit and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the l
22、oss of tropical forests. Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest the size of ten city blocks vanishes. As many as five million species of plants, animals and insects, 40 to 50 percent of all living things, live there, and are being irrev
23、ocably lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is incalculable. Take medicine, for example. Fewer than one percent of tropical forest plants have been examined for their chemical compounds. Nonetheless, scientists have integrated a wealth of important plants into our everyday li
24、ves. The West African calabar bean is used to treat glaucoma, while the sankerfoot plant of India yields reserpine, essential for treating hypertension. A West African vine provides the basis for strophanthus, a heart medicine. Quinine, an alkaloid derived from boiling the bark of the cinchona tree,
25、 is used to prevent and treat malaria. Derivatives from the rosy periwinkle offer a 99 percent chance of remission for victims of lymphocytic leukemia, as well as a 59 percent chance of recovery from Hodgkins disease. In fact, of the 3 000 plant species in the world known to contain anti-cancer prop
26、erties, 2 100 are from the tropical rain forest. Then there is rubber. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do, synthetics are not good e-nough. Today, over half of the world s commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon s rubber industry produces much of
27、the world s four million tons. Adding ammonia to rubber produces latex which is used for surgical gloves, balloons, adhesives, and foam rubber. Latex, plus a weak mixture of acid results in sheet rubber used for footwear and many sporting goods. Literally thousands of tropical plants are valuable fo
28、r their industrial uses. Many provide fiber and canes for furniture, soundproofing and insulation. Palm oil, a product of the tropics, brings to your table margarine, cooking oil, bakery products, and candles. Palm nut oil, from the seed kernel inside the fruit, is found in soap, candles, and mayonn
29、aise. The sap from Amazonian copaiba trees, poured straight into a fuel tank, can power a truck. At present, 20 percent of Brazil s diesel fuel comes from this tree. An expanded use of this might reduce our dependency on irreplaceable fossil fuels. Many scientists assert that deforestation contribut
30、es to the greenhouse effect, the heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their a-bility to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. Th
31、e result? A partial melt-down of the polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet. A rise of 15 feet would threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Farfetched? Perhaps, but scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 ye
32、ars too late. Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? We only have to look at the catalogued tropical forests and the abundance of wondrous products from which we benefit every day to know the answer. After all, the next discovery could be a cure for cancer or the common cold, or the a

39、k （ D） all of the above 28 In WAR MADE EASY Norman Solomon demolishes the myth of an independent American press zealously guarding sacred values of free expression. Although strictly focusing on the shameless history of media cheerleading for the principal post World War II American wars, invasions,
40、 and interventions, he calls into question the entire concept of the press as some kind of institutional counterforce to government and corporate power. Many of the examples compiled in this impeccably documented historical review will be familiar to readers who follow the news on the Internet. But
41、such examples achieve fresh impact because of the way Solomon has organized and analyzed them. Each chapter is devoted to a single warhawk argument (“America Is a Fair and Noble Superpower, “Opposing the War Means Siding with the Enemy,“ “Our Soldiers Are Heroes, Theirs Are Inhuman“), illustrated wi
42、th historical examples from conflicts in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Kosovo, both Iraq wars, and others in which the media were almost universally enthusiastic accomplices. The book should really be subtided “War reporting doesn t just suck, it kills. “ it makes yo
43、u feel like demanding a special war crimes tribunal for corporate media executives and owners who joined the roll-up to “ shock and awe“ as non-uniformed psywar ops. To be sure, this would raise the issue of whether or not following orders might suffice for the defense of obedient slaves such as Mar
44、y McGrory and Richard Cohen, who performed above and beyond the call of duty. “He persuaded me,“ McGrory gushed (热情洋溢地表达 ) the morning after Colin Powell addressed a plenary session of the United Nations on February 5, 2003, declaring that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. “ The cumulative effec
45、t was stunning. “ In the same Washington Post edition, Cohen wrote. The evidence he presented to the United Nations some of it circumstantial, some of it absolutely bone-chilling in its detail had to prove to anyone that Iraq not only hasn t accounted for its weapons of mass destruction but without
46、a doubt still retains them. Only a fool or possibly a Frenchman could conclude otherwise. Solomon demonstrates how this kind of peppy prewar warm up degenerates into drooling and heavy breathing once the killing begins. As if observing a heavy metal computer game, the pornographers of death concentr
47、ate on the exquisite craftsmanship and visual design of the murder machines and the magnificence of the fiery explosions they produce. 29 What is a common misperception of American press? （ A） It discloses the shocking history of invasions. （ B） It concentrates on media support for the wars. （ C） It
48、 protects freedom of expression without reserve. （ D） It stands on the side of the government. 30 The author of this passage thinks WAR MADE EASY is_. （ A） questionable （ B） controversial （ C） well proven （ D） finely polished 31 It can be implied that the convicts in El Salvador, Vietnam, Grenada, P
49、anama, Kosovo _. （ A） created heroes （ B） are forgotten by most Americans （ C） were criticized by American media （ D） were supported by American media 32 What can be inferred about McGrory and Richard Cohen? （ A） Both were shocked by the news that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. （ B） Both publicly supported the US accusation of Iraq. （ C） Both committed a special war crime. （ D） Both defended the interests of those who were submissive. 33 In the second
