l
A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the
triumph of evil is for good men to
do nothing. So, as a police
officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.
Day
after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime.
Something has gone
terribly wrong with our once-proud American
way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A
key ingredient
is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn` t hard to define. It means that every person is
responsible for his or her
actions and liable for their consequences.
Of the many values that hold civilization together--honesty, kindness,
and so on--account-
ability may be the most important of all. Without
it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law--
and, ultimately,
no society.
My job as a polioe officer is to impose accountability
on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.
But as every policeman knows,external controls on people`s behavior
are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame
and embarrassment.
Fortunately there are still communities--smaller
towns,usually--where schools maintain
discipline and where parents
hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things
are not
tolerated--they simply are not done! "
Yet
more and more, especially in our larger citis and suburbs, these inner
restraints are
loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers
your property his property; he takes what
he wants, including your
life if you enrage him.
The main cause of this break-down is
a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime
was
committed , society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking
reversal, it` s the criminal
who is considered victimized : by
his underpriviledged upbringing, by the school that didn ` t teach
him
to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance,
by the parents who
didn` t provide a stable home.
I don`
t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose
not to engage
in criminal activities. If we free the criminal,
even partly, from accountabiliy, we become a soci-
ety of endless
excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We
in America desperately need more people who believe that the person
who commits a
crime is the one responsible for it.
31 . What
the wise man said suggests that__.
A. it` s unnecessary for good
people to do anything in face of evil
B. it` s certain that evil
will prevail if good men do nothing about it
C. it`s only natural
for vinue to defeat evil
D. it`s desirable for good men to keep
away from evil
32. According to the author, if a person is found
guilty of a crime,__.
A. society is to be held responsible
B.
modern civilization is rnponsible for it
C. the criminal himself
should bear the blame
D. the standards of living should be improved
33.
Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have__.
A.
less self-discipline B. better sense of discipline
C. more mutual
respect . D. less effective government
34. The writer is sorry
to have noticed that __.
A. people in large cities tend to excuse
criminals
B. people in small towns still stick to old discipline
and standards
C. today ` s society lacks sympathy for people in
difficulty
D. people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged
in criminal activities
35. The key point of the passage is that__.
A.
stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families
B.
more good examples should be set for people to follow
C. more restrictions
should be imposed on people` s behavior
D. more people should accept
the value of accountability

The period of adolescence, i. e. , the person between childhood
and adulthood, may be long
or short , depending on social expectations
and on society` s definition as to what constitutes matu-
rity
and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a
relatively short period of
time , while in industrial societies
with pattems of prolonged education coupled with laws against
child
labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most
of the second decade of
one ` s life. Furthermore, the length of
the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status
may
change in a given society as social and economic conditions change.
Examples of this type of
change are the disappearance of the frontier
in the latter part of the nineteenth century in the U-
nited States
, and more universally , the industrialization of an agricultural
society.
In modern society,ceremonies for adolescence have
lost their formal recognition and symbolic signifi-
cance and
there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies.
Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to
increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school
graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute
such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes
and social recognition , the significance of each depends on the socio-economic
status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies
for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status
roles, right, privileges and responsibilitis. It is during the nine
years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective
and restrictive aspects of child-hood and minor status are removed
and adult privileges and responsibilitis are granted. The twelve-year-old
is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train,
airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at
this age loses childhood privileges without gaining significant adult
rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted cenain adult
rights which increases his social status by providing him with more
freedom and choices. He now can obtain a driver` s license; he can
leave public schools; and he can work without the restrictions of
child labor laws. At the age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities
as well as rights; the young man can now be a soldier, but he also
can marry without parental permission. At the age of twen-
ty-one
the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can
wote, he can buy liquor,
he can enter into financial contracts,
and he is entitled to run for public office. No additional basic
rights
are acquired as a function of age alter majority status has been attained.
None of these legal
provisions determine at what point adulthood
has been reached but they do point to the prolonged
period of adolescence
.
36 . The period of adolescence is much longer in industrial societies
because__.
A. the definition of maturity has changed
B. the
industrialized society is more developed
C. more education is provided
and laws against child labor are made
D. ceremonies for adolescence
have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance
37.
Former social ceremonies that used to mark adolescence have given
place to__.
A. graduations from schools and colleges B.social recognition
C.
socio-economic status D. certain behavioral changes
38. No one
can expect to fully enjoy the adulthood privileges until he is __.
A.
eleven years old B. sixteen years old
C. twenty-one years old
D.between twelve and twenty-one years old
39. Starting from 22,__.
A.
one will obtain more basic rights
B. the older one becomes, the
more basic rights he will have
C. one won`t get more basic rights
than when he is 21
D. one will enjoy more rights granted bv society.
40.
Acoording to the passage, it is true that
A. in the late 19th century
in the United States the dividing line between adolescence and
adulthood
no longer existed
B. no one can marry without the permission of
his parents until the age of twenty-one
C. one is considered to
have reached adulthood when he has a driver` s license
D. one is
not free from the restrictions of child labor laws until he can join
the army

Most growing
plants contaln much more water than all other materials combined.
C. R.
Darnes has suggested that it is as proper to term the plant
a water structure as to call a house com-
posed mainly of brick
a brick building. Certain it is that all essential processes of plant
growth and
development occur in water. The mineral elements from
the soil that are usable by the plant must
be dissolved in the
soil solution before they can be taken into the root. They are carried
to all parts
of the growing plant and are built into essential
plant materials while in a dissolved state. The car-
bon dioxide
from the air may enter the leaf as a gas but is dissolved in water
in the leaf be-
fore it is combined with a part of the water to
form simple sugars--the base material from which
the plant body
is mainly built. Actively growing plant parts are generally 75 to
90 percent water.
Stnlctural parts of plants, such as woodv stems
no longer actively growing, may have much less
water than growlng
tissues.
The actual amount of water in the plant at any one
time, however, is only a very small part
of what passes through
it during its development. The processes of photosynthesis, by which
car-
bon dioxide and water are combined-in the presence of chlorophvll
( 叶绿素 ) and with energy
derived from light-to form sugars, require
that carbon dioxide from the air enter the plant. This
occurs mainly
in the leaves. The leaf surface is not solid but contains great numbers
of minute
openings, through which the carbon dioxide enters. The
same structure that permits the one gas
to enter the leaf, however,
permits another gas-water vapor--to be lost from it. Since carbon
dioxide
is present in the air only in trace quantities (3 to 4 parts in 1O
,000 parts of air) and water
vapor is near saturation in the air
spaces within the leaf (at 80"F , saturated air would contain
about
186 parts of water vapor in 1O, OOO parts of air) , the total amount
of water vapor lost is
many times the carbon dioxide intake. Actually,
because of wind and other factors, the loss of
water In proportion
to carbon dioxide intake may be even greater than the relative concentrations
of
the two gases. Also, not all of the carbon dioxide that enters the
leaf is synthesized into carbo-
hydrates ( 碳水化合物) .

. A growing plant needs water for all of the following except__.
A.
forming sugars B. sustaining woody stems
C. keeping green D. producing
carbon dioxide
42 . The essential function of photosynthesis in
terms of plant needs is__.
A. to form sugars B. to derive energy
from light
C. to preserve water D. to combine carbon dioxide with
water
43 . The second paragraph uses facts to develop the essential
idea that__.
A. a plant efficiently utilizes most 0f the water
it absorbs
B. carbon dioxide is the essential substance needed
for plant development
C. a plant needs more water than is found
in its composition
D. the stronger the wind, the more the water
vapor loss
44 . According to the passage, which of the following
statements is TRUE?
A. The mineral eLements will not be absorbed
by the plant unless they are dissolved in its
root .
B. The
woody stems contain more water than the leaves.
C. Air existing
around the leaf is found to be saturated.
D. Only part of the carbon
dioxide in the plants is synthesized.
45 . This passage is mainly
about__.
A. the functions of carbon dioxide and water
B. the
role of water in a growing plant
C. the process of simple sugar
formation
D. the synthesis of water with carbon dioxide

The fact
is that the energy crisis, which has suddenly been officially announced,
has been
with us for a long time now, and will be with us for an
even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows
freely or not, it is clear
to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so
fragile
a base. (71) The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly
at any time, and in any case, the oil
wells will all run dry in
thirty years or so at the present rate of use.
(72) New sources
of energy must be found, and this will take time, but it is not likely
to re-
sult in any situation that will ever restore that sense
of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in
the times past. For
an indefinite period from here on, mankind is going to advance cautiously,
and
consider itself lucky that it can advance at all.
To make the
situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world`s
popula-
tion is in sight. Although the birth-rate has dropped in
some nations, including the United
States , the population of the
world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion
as
the twenty-first century opens.
(73) The food supply will
not increase nearly enoueh to match this, which means that we
are
heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.
Taking
all this into account , what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets
to be like in
the year 2001?
To begin with, the world food
supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty
years-even
here in the United States. By 2001 , the population of the United
States will be at
least two hundred fifty million and possibly
two hundred seventy million, and the nation will find
it difficult
to expand food production to fill the additional mouths. (74) This
will be particularly
true since energy pinch will make it difficult
to continue agriculture in the high-energy American
fashion that
makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.
It
seems almost certain that by 200l the United States will no longer
be a great food-export-
ing nation and that , if necessity forces
exports, it will be at the price of belt-tightening at home.
In
fact, as food items will tend to decline in quality and decrease in
variety, there is very
likely to be increasing use of flavouring
additives. (75 ) Until such time as mankind has the sense
to lower
its pupulation to the point where the planet can provide a comfortable
support for all,
people will have to accept more "unnatural
food" .
