Sometimes we are so influenced by the deeply rooted culture of conservatism(保守主义)that means, we are too introve

14、rt to express our inner feeling. Even sometimes our heart has been so filled by 27 certain emotion, we are still controlling 28 so as not to leak out our “secret” from heart. We spare no effort to do this just 29 we are afraid of the “embarrassed moment”. 30 after this “say I love you affair” I bega

17、w to be greener. Start your own vegetable garden. Make biodiesel (生物柴油) in your back yard. Go out in the middle of the night and paint bike lanes on the street.About every time I see these tips, I ask myself, Who the hell has the time for that?” And then I think all the ungreen things I do, like buy

18、ing a book on Amazon even though I live a three minute walk from a bookstore. Or ordering overpackaged takeout instead of cooking my own food. Flying instead of taking a train. Driving instead of walking. I would love cut back on these things, but I dont have the time. Haste, as it turns out, makes

19、waste.This is a vicious() circle of overwork and consumption that we have created for ourselves. The long hours we in the United States work - some 300 more per year than western Europeans, mean we are more likely to rely on convenience and disposable items, such as heavily- packaged fast foods and

20、single -use goods. Many people had told me they were too pressed for time even to recycle. Moreover, our long work hours allow us to produce and buy more stuff, resulting in a greater pressure on resources and an inevitable stream of more waste.Europeans produce about half the air pollution, use hal

21、f the energy, throw away half the trash, and produce half the carbon dioxide per capita as Americans do. If those in Western Europe worked as many hours as Americans did, they would consume about 30 percent more energy. If Americans were to reduce their working hours to Western European levels, they

22、 could reduce their energy needs by some 20%.What would happen if we make an effort to slow down just a little bit in an attempt to save the planet? Would our businesses break down? Would America become a Third World nation?Or would we find that were able to get by just fine? Maybe wed have less stu

23、ff, but more time to enjoy the company of our friends and families. More time for hobbies and exercise. More time to spend on being a citizen, not producer or a consumer. Would that be so bad?36. According the writer, what is an ungreen thing?A. Taking a bus instead of driving.B. Ordering a Chinese

24、takeout instead of cooking by oneself.C. Growing vegetables in the garden instead of buying them in the market.D. Buying a book in a nearby bookstore instead of on the Internet.37. If Americans and Western Europeans worked the same hours, who would use more energy?A. Americans. B. Western Europeans.

25、 C. They use the same amount of energy. D. It is not clear.38. Which of the following is not the result of longer work hours?A. Stronger consumption. B. Higher production.C. Recycling of household rubbish. D. Using more disposable items.39. Which of the following proposals would be supported by the

26、writer?A. A 9-hour working day. B. A 6-day work week.C. A 3-week annual vacation with pay. D. Higher per-hour productivity.40. What is the best title?A. Lazier, greener B. Shorter work hour, more leisureC. Longer work hour, more money D. Less consumption, less rubbishBWhy should mankind explore spac

27、e? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our ge

28、netic makeup（基因构成）as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wh

29、erever possible. Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals a

30、nd other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the

31、length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space

32、industry! While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it a

33、lso holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on othe

34、r planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. 41. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts.B. To introduce points for discussion.C. To compare different ideas.D

35、. To describe the conditions on Earth. 42. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans dont like to stay in the same place. B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans are nature-born to do so.43. The underlined word spin-offs in Par

36、agraph 4 probably refers to_.A. potential resourcesB. unexpected benefits C. survival chances D. physical possessions44. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.

37、45. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.D. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.CThe chances are tha

38、t you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided its not for you.The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers there are, after all about 60 millions of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.And finally its a pretty safe bet that youre

39、 open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and non-smokersor you wouldnt be reading this.And these three things make you really important today.Because they mean that yours is the voice not the smokers and not the anti-smokersthat will determine how much of societys efforts

40、should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.For one sad result of the emphasis on building walls is the different uses of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and

41、done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker.One famous health organization to cite (引用) but a single instance, now spends 98 cents of every publicly- contributed dollar on “education”, much of it in anti- smoking propaganda(宣传), and only 2 cents on research.There will always be some who w

42、ant to build walls, who want to separate people from people and to a certain degree, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, fairly speaking, helped to know choice more clearly.But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know tha

43、t walls cant stand long, and over the long run, we can serve societys interests better by tolerating one another and by working together.Whatever advantage walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can

44、.46. What is the implied meaning of the word “wall” in the passage?A. Anti-smoking propaganda.B. Diseases striking nonsmokers as well as smokers. C. Rules and regulations to ban smoking 100 percent.D. Separation of smokers from nonsmokers.47. In para4, “you” refers to _.A. smokers B. non-smokers C.

45、anti-smokers D. smokers who have quitted smoking48. Which statement is true about the money spent on education and research on smoking?A. It is a tragic result. B. It emphasizes on building walls.C. It is too much on “education”. D. It is enough on research.49. We can infer that the best way the wri

46、ter suggested is _.A. to build more walls between smokers and non-smokersB. to get on well with each otherC. to spend more money on special methods to forbid smokingD. to join those nonsmokers and anti-smokers50.
