Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs had fairly well been satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It ineludes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when______.

A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C. he has satisfied his hunger
D. he has learned to build houses

About a month ago I was present on a serious occasion where I heard the reading of a will. I can remember one passage that particularly struck me. It ran something (56) this. "And I direct that $ 10,000 be (57) to old William B, whom I have wished to help for many years, (58) always put off doing so." It (59) the last words of a dying man. But the story does not (60) there. When the lawyers came to (61) out the bequest (遗赠), they discovered that old William B had (62) , too, and so the (63) deed was lost. I felt rather (64) about that. It seemed to me a most regrettable. (65) that William should not have had his $10,000 just (66) somebody kept putting (67) giving it to him. And from (68) accounts, William could have done with the (69) . But I am sure (70) there are thousands of kindly little deeds waiting to be (71) today, which are being put off (72) later. George Herbert, in praise of good intentions, (73) that "One of these days is better than (74) of those days." But I say that (75) is better than all.

A. whether
B. of
C. that
D. often

(四) 清早,我在城市的河边散步,城市还没完全醒来,张大着嘴巴睡得很香。它的蛛网一样细密、麦芒似尖利的牙齿疏可走马,密可罗雀;它的肠是盘曲环绕的街道,胃是钢筋水泥的楼群,而人类就行走和居住其中。它轻轻咂嘴便有血肉横飞,牙齿微挫就会魂销魄散。我感慨城市人越来越不好当。想当城市人,你首先得学会喝变质的水、呼吸发臭的空气、吃陈年的粮食、吐黑色的痰、患古怪的病、住鸽子笼一样的房子…… 城市是个能量的怪物,这个可怕的能量的变种是随着人类的发展而成长的。 它所拥有的能量都是人类轻率地赋予它的。它在以往已经制造出许多环境污染和生态灾难;它仍将在以后继续制造出这样的灾难。假如人类不能最终将这种分崩离析的能量回收和利用,那么21世纪等待人类的将是能量与能量的持续不断的交换和较量,直至耗尽物华天宝和人类的生命。 天地生养万物,也生养人类。人类之所以成为佼佼者,便是因为善于吸收自然界的能量。如同阴阳、正反、大小、多少在自然界共生一样,善、恶、美、丑、好、坏、正、邪也与人类社会并存。这种天人合一的能量足以使人类与宇宙万物共存共荣,却因为人类中枢神经时常短路,导致弱视和动作机制失控,在释放这种能量的同时滥用了自然的信任,使阴阳裂变,正负相逆,两极分化,取之于自然的巨大能量反过来又重创了自然。 什么是污染污染其实就是物质的错位,碱放进醋里,油泼在火上。什么是破坏破坏就是能量的失衡,火车脱轨,飞机失控。 不妨现在就把人类的历史和人类的行为置于时空的放大镜下正反两面细细审视,正着看我们人类的创造实在丰硕而且伟大,反着看却觉得我们人类有时候实在渺小而且可笑。 当能量怪物含化太阳时,冰箱中最后只剩下一条冻鱼,那就是我们人类自己。 等繁华散尽之日,尘埃落定之时,纤毫毕现之际,悔之晚矣。 诗曰:我思故我在,我在故我思;在时若不思,思时已不在。 文中“变种”一词的意思是( )

A. 城市是个能量的怪物
B. 城市是随着人类的发展而成长的
C. 城市所拥有的能量都是人类轻率地赋予它的
D. 城市在以往已经制造出许多环境污染和生态灾难,它仍将在以后继续制造出这样的灾难
