It
is all very well to blame traffic jams, the mst of petrol and the
quick pace of modem life,
but manners on the roads are beaoming
horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become
monsters behind
the wheel. It is aU vvy well, again, to have a tiger in the tank,
but to have one
in the driver`s seat is arnother matter altogether.
You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude
and inconsiderate
driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to
the rule.
Perhaps the situation calls for a `Be Kind to Other Drivers`
campaign, otherwise it may get com-
pletely out of hand.
Road
politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes
the most cool-headed
and good-tempered of drivers to resist the
temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized be-
havior.
On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving
the tensions of
motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement
in response to an act of politeness helps
to create an atmosphere
of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem tralfic conditions.
But
such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.
Many drivers nowadays don`t even
seem able to recognize politeness
when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be
dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who
brakes violently
to allow a car to emerge from a side street at solne hazard to following
traffic,
when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;
or the man who waves a child across a
zebra crossing into the path
of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same
goes
for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever
they care to. It always a-
mazes me that the highways are not covered
with the dead bodies of these grannies.
A veteran driver, whose
mallners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists leamt to
filter
correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total
blockages that give rise
to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists
can` t even learn to drive, let alone master the
subtler aspects
of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-owrner-ship
explo-
sion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road
users. It is high time for all of us to
take this message to heart.
31
. According to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused
by
A. people` s attitude towards the road-hog
B. the rhythm
of modem life
C. the behavior of the driver
D. traffic conditions
32.
The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog . . . the rule.
" (Para. I ) implies that
A. our society is unjust towards
well-mannered motorists
B. rude drivers can be met only occasionally
C.
the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog
D. nowadays
impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists
33. By "good
sense" , the writer means
A. the driver` s ability to understand
and react reasonably
B. the driver` s prompt response to difficult
and severe conditions
C. the driver` s tolerance of nlde or even
savage behavior
D. the driver` s acknowledgement of politeness
and regulations
34. Experts have long pointed out that in the faoe
of car-owner-ship explosion,
A. road users should make more sacrifice
B.
drlvers should be ready to yield to each other
C. drivers should
have more communication among themselves

great loss if they pay no respect to others
35. In the writer`s
opinion,
A. strict traffic regulations are badly needed

In
the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror--the
glass in the roof of
a greenhouse which allows the sun`s rays to
enter but prevents the heat from escaping.
According to a weather
expert` s prediction, the annosphere will be 3C warmer in the year
2050
than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present tate.
If this warming up took
place, the ice caps in the poles would
begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and
severely
flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature
would lead to great
changes in the climate of the nonthern hemisphere,
possibly resulting in an alteration of
earth`s chief food-growing
zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the
earth has concentrated on the Arctic
because the Antarctic is much
colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts
are
now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected
by only a few degress of
warming, in other words, by a warming
on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty
years
from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large
areas of Antarctic ice are already dispappearing. The evi-
dence
available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory
that carbon dioxide
warms the earth.
However, most of the
fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem
to
be falling. Scientists conclude , therefore, that up to now
natural influences on the weather have
exceeded those caused by
man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the
weather?
One
possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one
research station have
studied the hot spots and "cold"
spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the
sun
rotates, every 27. 5 days, it presents hotter or "colder"
faces to the earth, and different as-
pects to different parts
of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution
of
the earth`s atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation.
The sun is also variable
over a long term: its heat output goes
up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward.
Scientists
are now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weather interactions
and
the actual climate over many thousands of years, "including
the last Ice Age. The problem is that
the models are predicting
that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not. One
way
of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay
of thousands of years while the solar ef-
fects overcome the inenia
(惯性) of the earth`s climate. If this is right, the warming effect
of
carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance
to the sun`s diminishing heat .
36. It can be concluded that a
concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would
A. prevent
the sun`s rays from leeching the earth`s surface
B. mean a warming
up in the Arctic
C. account for great changes in the climate in
the noHhem hemisphere
D. raise the temperature of the earth` s
surface
37. The article was written to explain
A. the greenhouse
effect
B. the solar effects on the earth
C. the models of solar-weather
interactions
D. the causes affecting weather
38. Although the
fuel consumption is greater in the northem hemisphere, temperatures
there
seem to be faILing. This is
A. mainly because the levels
of carbon dioxide are rising
B. possibly because the ice caps in
the poles are melting
C. exclusively due to the effect of the inenia
of the earth` s climate
D. partly due to variations in the output
of solar energy
39. On the basis of their models, scientists are
of the opinion that
A. the climate of the world should be becoming
cooler
B. it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the
earth`s climate to take effect
C. the man-made warming effect helps
to increase the solar effects
D. the new Ice Age will be delayed
by the greenhouse effect
40. If the assumption about the delay
of a new Ice Age is correct,
A. the best way to overcome the cooling
effect would be to bum more fuels
B. ice would soon cover the northern
hemisphere
C. the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
could warm up the earth even
more quickly
D. the greenhouse
effect oould work to the advantage of the earth

Some
people believe that intemational sport creates goodwill between the
nations and that if
countries play games together they will leam
to live together. Others say that the opposite is true :
that intemational
contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding
8nd hatred.
There is probably some truth in both arguments, but
in recent years the Olympic games have done
little to support the
view that sports encourages intenational brotherhood. Not only, was
there the
tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but
the Games were also ruined by lesser inci-
dents caused principally
bv minor national contests.
One country received its second-place
medals with visible indignation after the horkey ( 曲棍球
) final.
There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers
objecting to the
final decisions. They were convinced that one
of their goals should not have been disallowed and
that their opponents`
victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said : "This
wasn`
t hockey. Hockey and the Intenational Hockey Federatior are
finished. " The president of the
Federation said later that
such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least
three
years .
The Anlerican basketball team announced that
they would not yield first place to Russia, af-
ter a disputable
end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought
at first
that the United States had won, by a single point, but
it was announced that there were three
seconds still to play. A
Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the
other,
and another player popped it into the basket. It was the
first time the USA had ever lost an
Olympic basketball match. An
appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before an-
nouncing
that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to
receive the silver
medals .
Incidents of this kind will continue
as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the
love
of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals,
or in non-national
teams , might be too much to hope for. But in
the present organization of the Olympics there is far
too much
that encourages aggressive patriotism.
41. According to the author,
recent Olympic Games have__
A. created goodwill between the nations
B.
bred only false national pride
C. barely showed any intemational
friendship
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
42.
What did the manager mean by saying, " . . . Hockey and the International
Hockey Federa-
tion are finished" ?
A. His team would no
longer take part in international games.
B. Hockey and the Federation
are both ruined by the unfair decisions.
C. There should be no
more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D. The Federation
should be dissolved.
43. The basketball example implied that
A.
too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B. the announcement
to prolong the match was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant
in making the decision
D. the American team was right in rejecting
the silver medals
44 . The author gives the two examples in paragraphs
2 and 3 to show
A. how false national pride led to undesirable
incidents in international games
B. that sportsmen have been more
obedient than they used to be
C. that competitiveness in the games
discourages intenrational friendship
D. that unfair decisions are
common in Olympic Games
45. What conclusion can be drawn from the
passage?
A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B.
Athletes should oompete as individuak in the Olympic Games.
C.
Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the
game.
D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding
between nations.

Intelligence`
at best is an assumptive construct-the meaning of the word has never
been
clear. (71 ) There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior
refeued to by the term than there is
on how to interpret or classify
them. But it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence
is
one who can grasp ideas readily, make distinctions, reason logically,
and make use of verbal and
mathematical symbols in solving problems.
Art intelligence test is a rough measure of a child`s ca-
pacity
for learning, particularly for learning the kinds of things required
in school. It does not
measure character, social adjustment, physical
endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is
not supposed
to-it was not designed for such purposes. (72) To criticise it for
such failure is
roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer
for not measuring wind velocity .
The other thing we have to
notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is
essentially
a comparative affair.
(73) Now since the assessment of intelligence
is a comparative matter we must be sure that
the scale with which
we are comparing our subjects provides a `valid` or `fair` comparison.
It is
here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin.
Any test performed involves at least
three factors: the intention
to do one`s best, the knowledge required for understanding what you
have
to do, and the intellectual ability to do it. (74) The first two must
be equal for all who are
being compared , if any comparison in
terms of intelligence is to be made. In school populations in
our
culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable , and the
value of intelligence test-
ing has been proved thoroughly. Its
value lies, of course, in its providing a satisfactory basis for
prediction.
No one is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets
on his test; what we
are interested in is whether we can conclude
from his mark on the test that the child win do better
or worse
than other children of his age at tasks which we think require `general
intelligence` .
(75) On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn
with a certain degree of confidence, but only if
the child can
be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other
with whom
he is being compared, and only if he was not punished
by lack of relevant information which they
possessed .
