Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are
based on the following passage.
An understanding of man’s
effect on the balance of nature is crucial(关键的)to being able to find the
appropriate remedial action. It is a very common belief that the problems of the
population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries
who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual
number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on
nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment,but it is
the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth
as a whole.
For example,tropical forests are known to be
essential to the balance of nature,yet we are destroying them at a great rate.
They are being cleared not to benefit the natives of that country,but to satisfy
the needs of rich countries. Central American forests are being destroyed for
grassland to make pet food in the United States cheaper;in Papua New
Guinea,forests are destroyed to supply cheaper cardboard packaging for Japanese
electronic products;in Burma and Thailand,forests have been destroyed to produce
mole attractive furniture in Singapore and Hong Kong. Therefore,a rich person
living thousands of miles away may cause more tropical forest destruction than a
poor person living in the forest itself.
In short,it is
everybody’s duty to safeguard the future of mankind-not only through population
control,but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature. Nature
is both fragile and powerful. It is very easily destroyed;on the other hand,it
can easily destroy its most dangerous enemy-man.
A.how the forests in the U. S. are being destroyed
B.which countries are the victims of the imbalance of nature
C.what Japan has done to develop its own economy
D.how South Asian countries make quality furniture

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are

Online learning is also
called distance education,which helps students who take classes by computer over
the Internet to learn certain courses and earn a degree. And it has become more
and more popular with both young people and educational institutions.
The School of Continuing and Professional Studies of New
York University in Manhattan began online classes in 1992. Its Virtual School
has taught more than 10,000 students from across the United States and other
countries.
Last year,the school launched NYU Online. It
offers NYU’s first online programs for a bachelor’s degree. Programs are offered
in three areas:leadership and management,information systems management and
social sciences. The classes are highly interactive,where students communicate
with each other and their teachers. Some classes require students to log in at

ask questions and work together on team projects.

costs as much as fifteen thousand dollars a year. NYU offers no financial aid
for international students in this program. If you are interested in the
program,you can get more details at the website:www. nyu. edu.

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are
based on the following passage.
Among the company was a
lawyer,a young man of about twenty-five. On being asked his opinion,he
said,“Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral. If I were to
make a choice between them,I would rather choose the latter. Anyway,it’s better
to live than not to live at all. ”
A lively discussion
followed. A banker,who was then younger and more nervous than the
lawyer,suddenly lost his temper and cried out,“It’s a lie. I bet you two
millions. You wouldn’t stick in a cell even for five years. ”
“If you mean it,”replied the young lawyer,“I bet I’ll stay there
longer;make it fifteen instead of five. ”
“Fifteen!Done!”cried
the banker. “Gentleman. I bet you two millions. ”
“Agreed. Two
millions for my freedom,”said the lawyer.
So this
wild,ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement.
During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly,“Come to your senses,young
man,before it’s too late. Two millions are nothing to me,but you stand to lose
three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because you’ll
never stick it out any longer. Don’t forget that voluntary imprisonment is much
harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to
free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell. I pity you. ”
And now the banker,pacing from comer to comer,recalled all this
and asked himself,“Why did I make this betWhat’s the goodThe lawyer lost
fifteen years of his life and I threw away two millions. Will it convince people
that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for
lifeNo,no!Rubbish!On my part,it was the caprice(心血来潮)of a well-fed
millionaire;on the lawyer’s part,it’s the pure greed of gold. ”
A.he was too rich to care for the money
B.he was sure of his winning the bet
C.the lawyer would give up in 15 years
D.the lawyer would give up before 5 years
