20、man wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. 2. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough
21、to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears. 3. The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some tort of shelter. By the end of World War U these wants were satisfied for a great majority of American. Then
22、 a third level appeared. It in eluded such items as automobiles and new houses. 4. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life enriching“ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfactionthe feedin
23、g, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythis level stresses mental needs for recognition, achivement and happiness. 5. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury“ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and enter
24、tainment. Also included fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to services, which on the first three levels more is spent on goods. 6. A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by comunity action.
25、 Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things
26、on the first four levels. 23 A. On the Fourth Level, Consumers Spend More on Luxuries And Personal Services B. A Good Service Is Related to “Physical Satisfaction“ C. The Fifth Level May Be A Lot More Desirable Than the First Four D. By the End of World War Most Americans Didn t Own Automobiles E. T

Geological Survey has recently published a map showing the relative probability of earthquake activity for various areas in the United States. The
30、 major hazard represented by seismic events along the great earthquake belts of the world has now been clearly recognized, and a great deal of research money and effort is being directed toward earthquake prediction and possible control. Active fault systems, such as the San Andreas fault in Califor
31、nia, are carefully monitored for observable changes that could indicate an impending earthquake. Although the nature of earthquakes and earthquake belts are rela tively well understood, the possibility of accurately predicting major earthquakes, much less controlling them, still appears remote. Prob
32、ably the most intriguing development in this field relates to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes near Denver, Colorado. In 1962 injection of fluid wastes into the Precambrian basement rocks nearly 4000m below the ground surface was followed by a series of small earthquakes. Studies of this pheno
33、menon have indicated that the injected fluid lubricated a fault zone under stress and thereby promoted release of seismic energy. Experimentation at the site is still going on, but the connection between the fluid injection and earthquake activity was quickly rea lized. Accordingly, the suggestion h
34、as been made that potentially destructive earthquakes could be converted into numerous nondestructive minor earthquakes by using fluid injection techniques. Thus, although man has no hope whatever of controlling the major earth movements that lead to earthquakes, he may in some cases be able to infl
35、uence the manner in which earthquake energy is dissipated. 31 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? （ A） Awareness of Earthquake Hazards （ B） Earthquake Is a Dangerous Thing （ C） Earthquake Prediction and Control （ D） The Probability of Earthquake Activity for Various Areas i
36、n the United States 32 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） Although the nature of earthquakes and earthquake belts are understood by most people, there is still not a widespread awareness of earthquake hazards. （ B） It will probably be many years before we can predict earth
37、quakes accurately and the control of earthquakes is even farther away. （ C） Scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault system in the United States, such as the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. （ D） Experimentation has shown that the earthquake activity has no connection with the
38、 fluid injection. 33 What does the word “intriguing“ mean? （ A） interesting （ B） remarkable （ C） beautiful （ D） extraordinary 34 What has NOT been done to the prediction and control of major earthquakes according to the passage? （ A） A great amount of money has been given to research work on earth q
39、uake prediction. （ B） Active fault systems have been carefully studied in order to predict an impending earthquake. （ C） Studies of the Rocky Mountain phenomenon has been on the way. （ D） Scientists have found that by using fluid injection techniques, earthquakes can be controlled. 35 Whats the auth
40、ors attitude towards the future of earthquake control ? （ A） pessimistic （ B） optimistic （ C） negative （ D） neutral 36 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only Britain snake with a poisonous bite. It can
41、be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal: Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out
42、to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals a
43、nd are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislike intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally
44、 get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful th
45、e bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probab
46、ly just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness. 36 Adders are most likely to be found _. （ A） in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland （ B） in Scotland and nowhere else （ C） on uncultivated land throughout Britain （ D） in shady fields in England 37 If you ar
47、e with someone who is bitten by an adder you should _. （ A） try to catch the adder （ B） make no attempt to treat the bite （ C） not worry about the victim （ D） operate as soon as possible 38 We are told that adders are_. （ A） normally friendly towards people （ B） unlikely to bite except in self-defen
48、ce （ C） aggressive towards anyone in their territory （ D） not afraid of human beings 39 If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually _. （ A） move out of your path （ B） take no notice of you at all （ C） disappear very quickly （ D） wait until you are close then attack 40 We are told in general B
49、ritish people think snakes are_. （ A） not very common in Britain （ B） usually harmless （ C） more dangerous than they usually are （ D） unlikely to kill people by their bite 41 I. Q. stands for Intelligence Quotient which is a measure of a persons intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm. It is not enough simply to know that a
