The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to【C1】_The band lost $ 20,000 on the【C2】_that it cannot get back because, for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and, for another,【C3】_under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had ri
26、sen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed $ 20,000【C4 】_Not bad for a fifteen-year-old. It certainly is better than【C5】_the morning newspaper. In another recent case, a boy of fourteen found, in his grandfather s house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. The clean, cr

The cashiers did not realize that the country in【C8 】_had reduced the value of its currency by 90%. They exchanged

Without the vast advances
32、made by chemists, physicists, biologists , geologists and other diligent scientists, our standards of living would decline, our flourishing wealthy nation might come to an economic depression, and our people would suffer from diseases that could not be cured. As a society we ignorantly take advantag
33、e of the amenities provided by science , yet our lives would be altered interminably without them.Health care, one of the aspects of our society that separates us from our archaic ancestors, is founded exclusively on scientific discoveries and advances. Without the vaccines created by doctors , dise
34、ases such as polio, measles, hepatitis, and the flu would pose a threat to our citizens, for although some of these diseases may not be deadly, their side effects can be a vast detriment to an individual affected with the disease.In addition, science has developed perhaps the most awe-inspiring vita
35、l invention in the history of the world, the computer. Without the presence of this machine our world could exist, but the conveniences brought into life by the computer are unparalleled.Despite the greatness of present-day innovators and scientism and their revelations, it is requisite to examine t
36、he amenities of science that our culture so blatantly disregards. For instance, the light bulb, electricity, the telephone, running water, and the automobile are present-day staples of our society, however, they were not present until scientists discovered them.Because of the contribution of scienti
37、sts, our world is ever metamorphosing, and this metamorphosis economically and personally comprises our society, whether our society is cognizant of this or not.61 In the first paragraph the author implies that we_.（A）would not survive without science（B） take the amenities of science for granted（C）
38、could have raised the standards of living with science（D）would be free of disease because of scientific with advances62 The author uses health care and vaccines to illustrate_.（A）how science has been developed（B） what science means to society（C） what the nature of science is（D）how disease affects so
39、ciety63 Nothing, according to the author, can match the invention of the computer in terms of_.（A）power（B） novelty（C） benefits（D）complexity64 The author seems to be unhappy about_.（A）people s ignorance of their culture（B） people s ignoring the amenities of science（C） people s making no contributions
40、 to society（D）people s misunderstanding of scientific advances65 The author s tone in the passage is_.（A）critical（B） cognizant（C） appreciative（D）paradoxical65 Biotechnology is expected to bring important advances in medical diagnosis and therapy, in solving food problems, in energy saving, in enviro
41、nmentally compatible industrial and agricultural production, and in specially targeted environmental protection projects. Genetically altered microorganisms can break down a wide range of pollutants by being used, for example, in bio-filters and wastewater-treatment facilities, and in the clean-up o
42、f polluted sites. Genetically modified organisms can also alleviate environmental burdens by reducing the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and medications.Sustainability, as a strategic aim, involves optimizing the interactions between nature, society, and the economy, in accordance with ecological
43、 criteria. Political leaders and scientists alike face the challenge of recognizing interrelationships and interactions between ecological, economic and social factors and taking account of these factors when seeking solution strategies. To meet this challenge , decision-makers require interdiscipli
44、nary approaches and strategies that cut across political lines. Environmental discussions must become more objective, and this includes, especially, debates about the risks of new technologies, which are often ideologically charged. In light of the complex issues involved in sustainable development,
45、 we need clearer standards for orienting and assessing our environmental policies.Sustainable development can succeed only if all areas of the political sector, of society, and of science accept the concept and work together to implement it. A common basic understanding of environmental ethics is ne
46、eded to ensure that protection of the natural foundation of life becomes a major consideration in all political and individual action. A dialogue among representatives of all sectors of society is needed if appropriate environmental policies are to be devised and implemented.66 Biotechnology_.（A）can
47、 help save energy and integrate industry and agriculture（B） can rid humans of diseases and solve food problems（C） can treat pollution and protect environment（D）all of the above67 Wastewater can be treated_.（A）in genetic engineering（B） by means of biotechnology（C） in agriculture as well as in industr
48、y（D）without the need for breaking down pollutants68 When he says approaches and strategies that cut across political lines, the author means that they_.（A）involve economic issues（B） observe ecological criteria（C） are politically significant（D）overcome political barriers69 It can be inferred from the
49、 passage that the complexity of sustainable development_.（A）makes it necessary to improve the assessing standards（B） renders environmental discussion possible（C） charges new technologies with risks（D）requires simplification70 The success of sustainable development lies in_.（A）its concept to be（B） good social teamwork（C） appropriate environmental policies（D）the representatives of all sectors of society
