S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During

2、their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3, 000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths due to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of

3、death.Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised.First, in the Past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second

4、，in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors beat that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing（完全相反的）Third，several recent studies have indicated high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates，as much as 75 percent. Finally, though significant declines in

5、 adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute(NCI)began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking level among youth.21. Every day there are over high school stude

6、nts who will become regular smoker.A.75 B.23 C.30 D.3.00022.

The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that A. NCI has take

7、n effective measuresB. smoking is prevented among high school seniorsC. there are many smokers who have died of cancerD. none of these24. What is implied by the author is that A. smoking rates among youth have declined very littleB. there are now more female than male smokers among high school senio

8、rsC. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealthD. smoking at high school is from low socio-economic backgroundBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have got a lot“ greener” towards the environment“ We didnt know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there

9、was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.

10、 The understanding has increased many, many times. says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day. According to US government reports, emissions（排放物） from cars and trucks have dropped from10.3 million tons a year to 5. 5 million tons. The number of cities

11、producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of green thinking has become part of practices. Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recyclin

12、g programmes; in 1995 there were about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution. Many years ago, there were hardly any education programmes for environment. Today, its hard to find a public school, university, or law scho

13、ol that does not have such a kind of programme. Until we do that，nothing else will change! says Bruce Anderson.25. According to Anderson, before 1970 Americans had little idea about A. the social movement B. recycling techniquesC environmental problems D. the importance of Earth Day26. Where does th

14、e support for environmental protection mainly come from?A the grass-roots level B. The business circleC. Government officials D. University professors27. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowestB. They have settled their environmental prob

15、lemsC. They have lowered their CO levels in 40 citiesD. They have reduced pollution through effective measures28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?A. Education B. Planning C. Green living D. CO reductionCA recent study, while showing a general

16、ly positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be running out of control . This idea is dangerous. Science can be a force for evil(邪恶）as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or

17、 collectively will determine the outcomes of science. But here is real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, w

18、e may step back and do nothing. Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections ( 反对 ) whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels

19、a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world. In our interconnected（互联的） world， the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of controlling sci

20、ence in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响 )on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to p

21、redict. The outcomes are hard to predict. Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse science and can science best serve mankind in the future.29. Acc

22、ording to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have an even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will work more acti

23、vely to put science under control.30. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to

24、 prevent the bad use of science31. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of controlD. Science is used for both good and bad purposes32. What is the main idea of the passage?A Scien

25、ce and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.C Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.D The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideasDAmericans like to travel on their yearly holiday.
