题目
It may be pointed out that warfare(战争)as practiced by man has no parallel in nature,This is to say that within the more highly developed animal populations of this earth,there is not now.nor has there been similar destruction within a species(物种)itself.In fact,one has to go to the lowliest forms of animal life,such as certain kinds of ants,to find anything comparable to human warfare.It is a curious fact that mankind appears to give the killing of his own kind a good reason by imaging that it is a"law of nature".There are now a lot of wrong ideas about the laws of nature,of which this is one of the most incorrect and fateful(致命的).Political beliefs have been based upon it with results that have come near to destroying human civilization.The theory that war is a biological necessity.that it is nature′s method of controlling population and believing in the survival(生存)of the strong and the elimination(灭亡)of the weak,is totally wrong and insupportable.Within the last century.when wars have been common all over the world,the human population of the earth has almost doubled.

The author of this passage seems to be the"law of nature".

A.against
B.in favor of
C.uncertain of
D.very much interested in

第2题:

From the third paragraph, we may infer that_____.

[A] traditional cultural heritage is worthy of preservation

[B] the universal features shared by all cultures aren’t worthy of notice

[C] musicians pay more attention to the preservation of traditional music

[D] the more developed a culture, the more valuable the music it has fostered


正确答案:A

 本题考查推理引申。第三段第二句提到,我们(we)越来越关注民乐中的传统和民族特色,并且在对待许多传统文化遗产时愿意将民乐保存下来。第三句以音乐家记录自己国家的古典音乐为例说明上文。该句中we包括了作者本人,因此可推知[A]是作者所赞同的观点。[C]错在more,因为文中并没有将音乐家对待传统音乐和现代音乐的态度作对比。该段末句提到,人们(people)总是渴望保留个性特色,而不是找到所有文化共有的普遍特点。可见,文中只是客观叙述人们对文化的偏好,没有贬低“文化共有的普遍特点”的价值。排除[B]。该段首句提到,音乐根植于孕育了它的文化之中。这说明文化决定音乐的特色,与“发达”或“价值”没有关联,排除[D]。

第一篇

In the dark night of the desert,a group of U.S.Air Force scientists is testing a new device for a missile to target.Designed to seek out the heat of an enemy aircraft engine,it is now going through its paces by tracing the movement of a flashlight waving thirty feet away in the darkness.A hundred yards away,unseen by the man,a rattlesnake sliding between the stones senses a patch of warmth. Although the snake's mechanism is small enough to be packed into a head the size of a nut,it can detect a change in temperature of one-thousandth of a degree.With a sound the snake closes in and strikes for the kill.
Whenever we look in the animal world we find the same story.Almost anything that man can do,nature has already done better. So,it is for the purpose of learning from nature that a new science called bionics has grown up.Its aim is to find out how animal's instruments work so that man can copy them for his own purpose.
Imagine being able to know a friend several miles off by his smell. Male silk moths can do this. Their antennae are so sensitive to the chemical odor of female moths that they can detect their presence by picking up only one molecule of the chemical.Even with their most sensitive instruments, human cannot approach this perfection.
Studying beetle's eyes has already paid off. A group of scientists in Germany found that a beetle can accurately measure with its eyes the speed of moving background.After finding out how a beetle accomplishes this scientists built a machine that operated on the same principle.This instrument is able to determine the ground speed of moving aircraft with a high degree of accuracy.

The goal for bionics is to______.
A:explain how animal devices work
B:copy animal processes with man-made machines
C:prove the usefulness of this science
D:apply science to the study of animals

答案:B

Preserve the Environment

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life.
With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth.He has transformed
woodlands into farmland,and made lakes and reservoirs out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric
power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to
build roads and railways.
However,man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results.Today,
pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet.Each day thousands of tons
of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles;smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas
and the surrounding areas of countryside.The air in cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy.
The pollution of water is equally harmful.In the sea,pollution from oil is increasing and is killing enor-
mous numbers of algae(水藻),fish and birds.The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed.
The same problem exists in rivers.Industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to sur-
vive on earth.

The ecological balance of the sea is lost when_________.
A:people consume more fish than they used to
B:the ecological balance of the river is lost
C:large numbers of algae,fish and birds are killed
D:the production of marine petroleum is increased

答案:C
解析:
由文章第一段可知,人类改变自然环境是为了改善生活。故选D。
文章第二段提出人类使用技术工具改变了地球的自然面貌,为自己带来了便利。第三段说然而人类改变自然环境带来的不只是有利的一面。空气和水的污染已经威协到了植物的 健康生长。由此得知,空气和水的污染是由技术带给人类的环境的变化造成的。
由文章倒数第二段可知,随着石油开发对大海污染的加剧,大量的水藻.鱼类和鸟类被 杀死,由此造成海洋生态平衡的改变。故选C。
该题干问:最可能与环境保护者意见不一致的是?关于环境保护者的意见出现在文章 最后一段,"Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth",可知环境保护者认为现在应该限制技术的发展速度以保证人类在 地球上生存下去。在四个选项中,A项Industrialists(工业家)与技术发展联系的最紧密,因此 最可能会不同意环境保护者的意见。C项Businessmen(商人)包括的范围很广,并不是所有的 商业活动都与技术发展有关。故选A。

To Survive or to Vanish

1.Over 3.6 billion years ago,the first creature was born in the world.Since then,the earth started its era with life.The history of life on earth has been a history of interaction between living things and their surroundings.To a large extent,the physical form and the habits of the earth's vegetation and its animal life have been molded by the environment. Considering the whole span of earthly time,the opposite effect,in which life actually modifies its surroundings,has been relatively slight. Only in the present century has one species一man acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world.
2.During the past 25 years,this power has not only become increasingly great but it has changed in character. The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air,earth,rivers,and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable.In this now universal contamination of the environment,chemicals are the sinister partners of radiation in changing the very nature of the world the very nature of its life. Chemicals sprayed on croplands or forests or gardens lie long in soil,entering into living organisms, passing from one to another in a chain of poisoning and death.Or they pass mysteriously by underground streams until they emerge and combine into new forms that kill vegetation,sicken cattle,and work unknown harm on those who drink from once pure wells."Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation,"as a scientist has said.
3.Hundreds of millions of years have passed before the globe produced the life that now inhabits the earth.Given time not in years but in millennia life adjusts,and a balance has been reached.But in the modern world there is no time.
4.The quick steps of change follows the impetuous pace of man rather than the deliberate pace of nature.Radiation is now the unnatural creation of man's tampering with the atom.The chemicals are the synthetic creations of man's inventive mind,having no counterparts in nature.
5.To survive these chemicals would require not merely the years of one man's life but the life of generations.And even this,were it by some miracle possible,would be futile,for the new chemicals come from our laboratories in an endless stream;almost five hundred annually find their way into actual use in the United States alone.Among them are many that are used in man's war against nature.Since the mid l940's over 200 basic chemicals have been created for use in killing insects,weeds,and other organisms described as"pests".
6.It is not my contention that chemical insecticides must never he used.I do contend that we have put poisonous and biologically potent chemicals indiscriminately into the hands of persons largely or wholly ignorant of their potentials for harm. We have subjected enormous numbers of people to contact with these poisons,without their consent and often without their knowledge.I contend,furthermore,that we have allowed these chemicals to be used with little or no advance investigation of their effect on soil,water,wildlife,and man himself. Future generations are unlikely to forgive our lack of concern for the integrity of the natural world that supports all life.

Human's pollution on nature is for the most part_______.
A:man's tampering with the atom
B:enormous numbers of people to contact with these poisons
C:the integrity of the natural world that supports all life
D:inventive
E:irrecoverable
F:relatively slight

答案:E
解析:
本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。第一段前面大部分内容在说生物适应自然的内容,但最后一句用“only”引出本文要强调的新变化:人类对自然的影响。这与选项E中提到的:The new change in the relationship between earth and its creature一human's power playing a greater role in changing the world.地球与其生物之间关系的新变化——人类在改造世界的进程中起到更大的作用,意义相符,所以E是答案。
本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。第二段第一句是本段的主旨句:"During the past 25 years,this power has not only become increasingly great but it has changed in character.”在过去的25年中,这种力量不仅日趋强大,而且其性质也发生了变化。其中,“这种力量指的是人改造自然的力量”,这与选项D中提到的:" Human's power increases and has changed its character in the past quarter century.”意思相符。所以D是答案。
本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。第五段第一句是主旨句:"To survive these chemicals would require not merely the years of one man's life but the life of generations.”为了在这些化学制品中存活下来,人类需要付出的不只是一个人一生的时间,而是几代人的时间。选项B中提到:" It takes generations for mankind to adapt themselves to the chemicals.”概括了本段的大意,所以B是答案。
本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。第六段通过两个“I (do) contend”引出对于人类错误使用化学物质并对此疏于监管表示担忧。选项A是答案,因为 " Man should be cautious in chemical use.”人类应该小心使用化学物质,概括了本段的大意。
本题考查的是对阐述文章的事实与细节的了解。依据是第一段倒数第二句:"Considering the whole span of earthly time,the opposite effect,in which life actually modifies its surroundings , has been relatively slight.”将地球上生命存在的整个时期加以考虑,相反作用,即生命对其周围环境的实际改变作用,却相对很小。题干出现:生命改变其环境的影响,选项 F是relatively slight相对较小,与原文意思一致,证明了选项F是正确的。
本题考查的是对阐述文章的事实与细节的了解。选E的依据是第二段第三句“This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable.”而这种污染在很大程度上是无法挽救的。而题目中:人类对于自然的污染是在很大程度上______,缺少的信息正是选项E irrecoverable无法挽救的。
本题考查的是对阐述文章的事实与细节的了解。选A的依据是第四段的第二句:" Radiation is now the unnatural creation of man's tampering with the atom.”辐射是当今人类通过支配原子而得到的一种非自然的创造物。而选项A与题干结合的意思与之一致,所以 A是答案。
本题考查的是对阐述文章的事实与细节的了解。选C的依据是全文的最后一句:" Future generations are unlikely to forgive our lack of concern for the integrity of the natural world that supports all life.”我们缺乏对万物赖以生存的自然界的生态完整性的关心,对此,后代是不可能原谅我们的。题干与选项C结合后与信息句意思一致。所以C是答案。
