For each question or statement
17、 there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.35 There is nothing really new about any present-day moral problems. But perhaps they are now more pressing than in previous ages because modem science has greatly increased the scope and range of the consequences of huma
18、n decisions. This is most obvious in modem warfare. Combatants (战士) can now be far removed from each other and, in the process, distanced from the consequences of their actions. War is also no longer simply a combat between armies; the humane (仁慈的) distinction between combatants and noncombatants ha
19、s disappeared. This raises the question of whether there can be any “innocent bystanders“ in modern conflicts.The problem is at its most extreme with the atomic bombs (原子弹). Many people have questioned the development and production of these bombs, let alone their use, both because their destructive
20、ness outweighs (超过) any justification for their use and because of the probable long-term effects of radiation (辐射). Even the peaceful use of nuclear power carries the risk of pollution of the atmosphere for many generations. Behind the practical problems of using it peacefully is the moral one of w
21、hether it is possible to balance the benefits, however great, against the risk, however small and remote.35 Which of the following would be the most suitable title for this passage?(A)Modern Warfare(B) Science and Moral Problems(C) Problems of Nuclear Reactors(D)Moral Consideration36 The author woul

23、adly pollution(B) an imbalance of benefits(C) losing its justification(D)a change of morals38 The author says the risks of using nuclear power are _.(A)greater than ever(B) small and remote(C) balanced by the benefits(D)practical problems39 The author says that moral problems are more urgent because
24、 _.(A)combatants can be more removed than in the past(B) nuclear power has become much more dangerous(C) science has made human decisions much more complex(D)nuclear weapons have greatly increasedTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered
25、 41 through 45.40 The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example, if people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not responsi
26、ble. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other countries. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States ass
27、igned to duty in another country. After what seemed to him a suitable waiting period, he announced that he would like to call on the minister of agriculture. For various reasons the suggested time did not suit the minister, there were indirect indications that the time was not yet suitable. The Amer
28、ican, however, pressed for an appointment, which was finally granted.Arriving a little before the appointed hour (according to the American way of showing respect), the agriculturist waited. The hour come and passed: five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes. At this point he suggested to the secre
29、tary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outside office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hours
30、wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the allowable waiting scale, it was just the beginning, thus, when the American agriculturist left the office (after giving the secretary an a
31、ngry message for the minister), his action seemed as unreasonable as it was impolite.40 What does “to be prompt“ mean in this passage?(A)It means “to keep ones word“.(B) It means “to make good use of ones time“.(C) It means “to be punctual“.(D)It means “to keep good time“.41 The minister kept the Am
32、erican waiting because _.(A)the minister didnt think it was wrong to keep people waiting(B) the appointed time did not suit the minister(C) the minister intended to Insult the American(D)the minister forgot the appointment time42 When fifteen minutes had passed after the appointed time, the American
33、 _.(A)told the secretary that he should not have been kept waiting(B) urged that he was waiting for him(C) put forward a suggestion that the secretary go and tell the minister that he was waiting(D)went about finding out whether the minister knew that he was waiting for him in the outer office43 The
34、 American got angry after being kept waiting for nearly an hour for the appointed meeting because _.(A)he felt disappointed(B) he felt disrespected(C) he felt embarrassed(D)he felt frustrated.44 Who would think the Americans action of leaving the office angrily to be unreasonable as it was impolite?
