We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and bir
20、dless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world? We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this
21、is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides t
22、hat invisibly pollute our world. Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (积累的 ) over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these ver
23、y reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.” 2
24、1. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence “Man , , is part of nature.” (Para.1)? A) Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature. B) Man acts as if he does not belong to nature. C) Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution. D) Man can escape his responsibilities
25、 for environmental protection. 22. What is the authors attitude towards the environmental effects of pesticides? A) Pessimistic. B) Indifferent. C) Defensive. D) Concerned. 23. In the authors view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of pesticides _. A) is not the worst of the negat
26、ive consequences resulting from the use of pesticides B) now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths C) has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention D) is unavoidable because people cant do without pesticides in farming 5 24. People tend to ignore the delayed effec
27、ts of exposure to chemicals because _. A) limited exposure to them does little harm to peoples health B) the present is more important for them than the future C) the danger does not become apparent immediately D) humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning 25. It can be concluded
28、from Dr Dubos remarks that _. A) people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with B) attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal C) diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure D) people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: W
29、hen a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However,
30、if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, “the higher up, the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled”. I
31、n such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effectiv
32、e when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The
33、left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work.” The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible.
34、 But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights. 26. When a consumer finds that his purchase has
35、 a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _. A) complain personally to the manager B) threaten to take the matter to court C) write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase D) show the written proof of the purchase to the store 27. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his pr
36、oblem, its better to complain to _. A) a shop assistant B) the store manager C) the manufacturer D) a public organization 6 28. The most effective complaint can be made by _. A) showing the faulty item to the manufacturer B) explaining exactly what is wrong with the item C) saying firmly that the it
37、em is of poor quality D) asking politely to change the item 29. The phrase “live up to” (Para.1) in the context means _. A) meet the standard of B) realize the purpose of C) fulfill the demands of D) keep the promise of 30. The passage tells us _. A) how to settle a consumers complaint about a fault
38、y item B) how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item C) how to avoid buying a faulty item D) how to deal with complaints from customers Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: There were several reasons why the Industrial Revolution started in Great Britain rather than in
39、France, the other great powers of the day. In the first place, Britain had the money necessary to finance the larger enterprises. Englands supremacy on the seas had encouraged commerce, and Englishmen had been amassing wealth through their commerce and industry. The newly rich class in that country
40、were not the aristocratic（贵族的） group, but merchants and businessmen who were willing to devote themselves to industry and scientific agriculture. The wealth of France, on the other hand, was largely in the hands of the nobility, and they were not willing to do the necessary work to develop industry.
41、 In the second place, Great Britain had undertaken very early the manufacturing of inexpensive and more practical products for which there would be ever-growing demand from the people, especially the new middle class. On the other hard, France produced articles in the luxury class. These could never
42、 be turned out in quantities because they demanded individuality. England was the producer of goods that were produced in quantities, and if she could find a cheaper means of producing them, her markets would grow. So she was ready for methods that would make it possible to manufacture in large quan
43、tities. In the third place, for a long time England had large numbers of semiskilled workers. When the feudal system broke down in England and the manors were turned to sheep raising, numbers of Englishmen went to the towns. There they engaged in weaving, making shows, wood carving and many other oc
44、cupations that developed skills. When the industrial revolution began, these men were available for the work on the new machines. Moreover they were free men who could move from place to place as the need for workers arose. This had not been the case in France, which was still chiefly an agricultura
45、l country with peasants bound to their masters in many ways so they could not easily move to the cities. In the fourth place, coal was abundant in Great Britain, and a large amount of this cheap fuel was necessary for running the factories. There was coal in northern France, too, but France was late
46、 in tapping (开发 ) such resources because really everyone depended directly or indirectly on farming for his living. 7 31. Britain had the money necessary to develop industry because _. A) Britain was much wealthier than France at that time B) Britain government encouraged the development of industry
47、 C) the merchants and businessmen were willing to finance the industry D) the aristocratic group was willing to develop the industry 32. According to the passage, French people attached importance to _. A) the quantities of the articles B) the individuality of the articles C) the practicality of the
48、 articles D) the price of the articles 33. Which of the following statements is true? A) The wealth of France was largely in the hands of new middle class. B) French people were bound to the new machines. C) France was more likely to produce goods in qualities. D) France could not get free workers necessary to the industry. 34. When the industrial revolution began, Englishmen _. A) were busy amassing wealth through
