A
In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally （晚期的）in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives（剥夺）the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential（潜在的）outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies （幻想）. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of detach and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
56．The elders of today's Americans________ .
A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying
B. are unfamiliar with birth and death
C. usually see the birth or death of a family member
D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life
57．Children in America are deprived of the chance to________.
A. visit a patient at hospital B. visit their family members
C. learn how to face death D. look after the patients
58.The need of a dying patient for people to accompany（陪伴）him shows________.
A. his wish for communication with other people B. his fear of death
C. his unwillingness to die D. he feels very upset about his condition
59.It may be concluded from the passage that________.
A. dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition
B. dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death
C. most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided
D. most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need
B
They are among the 250, 000 people under the age of 25 who are out of work in the Netherlands, a group that explains the cause of 40 percent of the nation’s unemployed. A storm of anger boils up at the government -sponsored（政府资助的）youth center, event among those who are continuing their studies.
“We study for jobs that don’t exist, ” Nicollets Steggerda, 23, said.
After thirty years of prosperity, unemployment among 10 member nations of the European Community has reached as much as 11 percent, affecting a total of 12.3 million people, and the number is climbing.
The bitter disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the Continent. The title of a rock song“ No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France.
Recent surveys have found that the increasing argument in the last few years over the deployment（部署）in Europe of North Atlantic Treaty Organization missiles and the possibility of nuclear war have clouded European youths' confidence（信心）in the future.
One form of protest （an action that shows disagreement ）tends to put the responsibility for a country’s economic troubles on the large numbers of “guest workers” from Third World nations, people welcomed in Western Europe in the years of prosperity.
Young Europeans, brought up in an extended period of economic success and general stability, seem to be similar to Americans more than they do their own parents. Material enjoyment has given them a sense of expectation , even the right, to a standard of living that they see around them.
“And so we pass the days at the discos, or meet people at the cafe, and sit and stare, ” said Isabella Cault. “There is usually not much conversation. You look for happiness. Sometimes you even find it.”
60.Unemployment in the Netherlands has affected________.
A. about 0.6 million people B. 250, 000 people
C. less than half of the population D. one million people
61.What Nicollete Steggerda said （Para. 2）means that________.
A. what the students learn is more than necessary
B. the students cannot get work after graduation
C. the students’aim in study is not clear D. school education is not sufficient（enough）
62.What does the underlined word“prosperity” most probably mean?
A. advance in politics B. economic troubles
C. political crisis（危机） D. achievements in economy
63.British youths________.
A. have pity on the unemployed on the Continent
B. have been the first to show their disappointment over joblessness
C. care about unemployment in France and Belgium
D. are trying to find work on the Continent
64.It seems that young Europeans________.
A. are more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinking
B. look more like Americans than their elders do
C. expect more from Americans than from their elders
D. look upon life as their elders do
C
A white-haired old gentleman steps out
of his car, bag in hand and coat over his arm. He has called from his office to
say that he is on the way. His wife is preparing supper. He can see the light
shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to fire and hot milk. It is
a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy ground in a pool of
his own blood.
It doesn't happen very often, but it does
happen in the capital city of the United States. It is more likely to happen in
the near-deserted city center at night. What happened to him could happen to
any of us.
Senator Stennis, who is 71, got out of his white
Buick at 7:40 p.m. outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said,
"Get out! Money, please."
He followed the order. He handed over his
wallet containing several cards, a gold watch and the only money he had in hie
pockets—twenty-seven cents. The youths also said, "Now, we're going to
shoot you anyway." Anyway they did. One bullet （子弹）hit
him in the leg and struck the bone. The other entered his chest just below the
upper pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.
Strangely he made it across a ten-meter
distance, up eight steps and along twenty more feet of stone path. His wife met
him at the door, and saw two men running. The senator told her to call the
police and the doctor.
The senator is powerful political figure, but
it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely the reason
for the killing was that he had only no more than a quarter of dollar—not
enough for two cups of coffee.
65. According to the passage ______.
A. such a mugging（抢劫）might have happened to anyone.
B. the mugging happened on a cold evening in a senator's home.
C. the senator was killed because he was an important politician.
D. the mugging might not have happened if the senator was young and strong.
66. Having robbed the senator, the two young men ____.
A. pulled him into a pool. B. shot two bullets into his body.
C. hit out at him hard. D. carried him away.
67. The two young men were angry by the fact that _____.
A. the senator tried to cheat them. B. they failed to get the senator's expensive car.
C. the senator didn't die in their hands. D. they didn't get what they had expected.
68. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. A near-deserted city center at night is a dangerous place.
B. People should always carry some money with them.
C. Though seriously wounded, the senator managed to get home on his own.
D. The senator's wife met the two men and recognized them immediately.
D
As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs(郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny(保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
69. What do the first two paragraphs tell us?
A. People seldom work long hours to make money.
B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.
C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.
D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.
70. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Child caring. B. Liz’s advice. C. Downshifting. D. Liz’s job.
71. The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph means .
A. repairing your car by yourself B. spending money carefully
C. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life
D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week
E
Now let's look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.
Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.
In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.
For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.
Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.
72. From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution _________.
A. humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate group
B. human beings are limited by the environment while animals are not
C. human beings become more and more different from each other
D. humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability
73. According to the passage, primate includes such animals as ________.
A. monkeys and anteaters B. tigers and apes
C. apes and monkeys D. monkeys and giraffes
74. According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to _______.
A. increase the population B. resist natural offers
C. go to the moon D. cure all diseases
75. According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environ mental resistance has resulted in ________.
A. the population explosion B. the destruction of human habitations
C. the growth of natural ecosystem D. the specialization of humans
