Practice 1　　The catchphrase of the hour is that America is living beyond its means. The expression is used so much by politicians, economists and editorial writers that it is depreciating faster than the dollar. But there's no way around it. It tells the story. The Data Resources numbers show Americans increase their spending this year almost three times as fast as their after-tax income. What else can we explain it? What is more, as a nation, the U.S. has been doing the same thing throughout the 1990s. For years the country has been consuming more than it produces, making up the difference by borrowing abroad. It can't go on.　　The stock market's tumble, which has caused a loss of $1 trillion in paper wealth, is but the first step in a process that must sober the nation. At the same time, in the next few years the U. S. will have to throw its amazing dream machine into reverse and start paying its debts. Inevitably, this will mean a lowering in the U.S. standard of living as Americans are forced to produce more than they consume to service a soaring foreign debt. Per capital income may keep rising but more slowly than in the past. The trade account will go slowly towards balance or even surplus in the mid-1990s. But in the meantime, Americans will receive less for their exports because the dollar will fall considerably before U. S. exports are competitive. And pressures to reduce the federal deficit will tighten the lid on defense spending.

When you look at the sky at night，the moon looks bigger than the stars． In fact，the moon is much smaller than the stars．It is much smaller than the earth． But the moon is much closer to us than any star． That is why it looks so big． If you hold a coin close．to your eye，it looks big．If you look at it across the room，it looks small．The moon moves around the earth． It makes one trip in about four weeks． The moon looks flat(扁的)to us． But it is a round ball，like the earth．People once thought the moon had fire(火) on it． They thought the fire made it bright．Now we know the moon is like a mirror( 镜子 )． It gets its light from the sun Our sunlight comes from the sun，too: What is the sun? The sun is star． The stars we can see have their own light． There are many big stars we can-t see． Their light has burned out． Others are still bright，but they are so far away that we can-t see them． The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars． The sun and the other stars we see are very hot，but the air around us saves us from(使------免于) the heat(热量) of the sun．The sun gives us light and warmth．It makes plants grow and leaves turn green． It makes life possible on our earth．It is a life-giving star．

60.B该题为观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者提出了马基雅维利在内容上的缺陷，即“…adhering at times too closely to the chroni- clers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without ap- parent reason…”，意思是“文章中有时候太过于附和他所在时代的编年史，而有时候又坚决抛弃其中的论断，而没有给出任何明显的理由…”。而最后一句作者表明“It is the straightforward， logical narrative, which always holds the interest ofhe reader, that is the greatest charm of the History．”意思是：“他直接的、有逻辑的叙述常常能引起读者的兴趣，这就是这本书的魅力所在。”可见，作者认为这本书内容上有缺陷，而对马基雅维利的语言风格持肯定态度。所以，作者对《佛罗伦萨史》的看法就是：这本书的魅力在于他的文体风格而不是内容，故选B。

第10题：

There’s no doubt that nanotechnology promises so much for civilization. However, all new technologies have their teething problems, And with nanotechnology, society often gets the wrong idea about its capabilities. Numerous science-fiction books and movies have raised people’s fears about nanotechnology ---with scenarios such as inserting little nano-robots into your body that monitor everything you do without you realizing it,or self-replicating nano-robots that eventually take over the world.
So how do we safeguard such a potentially powerful technology? Some scientists recommend that nano-particles be treated as new chemicals with separate safety tests and clear labelling. They believe that greater care should also be taken with nano-particles in laboratories and factories. Others have called for a withdrawal of new nano products such as cosmetics and a temporary halt to many kinds of nanotech research.
But as far as I’m concerned there’s a need to plough ahead with the discoveries and applications of nanotechnology.I really believe that most scientists would welcome a way to guard against unethical uses of such technology. We can’t go around thinking that all innovation is bad.all advancement is bad. As with the debate about any new technology.it is how you use it that’s important.So let’s look at some of its possible uses.
Thanks to nanotechnology, there could be a major breakthrough in the field of transportation with the production of more durable metals. These could be virtually unbreakable, lighter and much more pliable leading to planes that are 50 times lighter than at present. Those same improved capabilities will dramatically reduce the cost of traveling into space making it more accessible to ordinary people and opening up a totally new holiday destination.
In terms of technology, the computer industry will be able to shrink computer parts down to minute sizes. We need nanotechnology in order to create a new generation of computers that will work even faster and will have a million times more memory but will be about the size of a sugar cube. Nanotechnology could also revolutionise the way that we generate power .The cost of solar cells will be drastically reduced so harnessing this energy will be far more economical than at present.
The author says that some scientists believe that nano-particles___

A. should be used with more caution
B. Should be restricted to secure environments
C. Should only be developed for essential products
D. Should halt to do many kinds nanotech research

答案：A
