Passage Three
The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need
and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which
upset the environmental balance or the ecological(生态的)balance as it is known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed(处理) of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will
be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power
stations. Many people therefore see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is,
the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others see the problem mainly in
connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their
land to feed our everincreasing population. However, the land itself is gradually
becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial
fertilizers(人造肥料) cannot bring back the balance.
Whatever is underlying(潜在的)reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies,
individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter(杂乱的废物)and waste. Food is wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are
increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is
a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by
persuading many of us to buy things we don't want to buy. Pollution and waste continue to be a problem
everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of
the products we use in our daily lives.
44. The main cause of pollution is______.
Passage Five
Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting, "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny."
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned a lot. "I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she nswered. "He's never said anything about this to me!" Mrs. Green looked at Danny. "How long has this been going on？" She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.
52. We learn from the reading that______.
A. decade B. aggressive C. ancestor D. bacteria
Passage Four
Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men.
The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men
varies. It's also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in ran
industry, the lower the average wages.
Why do women earn less than men do？ Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked
down upon？ If so, the government has to intervene(干预), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of
the gap. One view argues that women, on the average, have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative
to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.
Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏见) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to
increase the wages paid to women？ One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring new
workers declines. The result will be a surplus 过剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs
might find themselves out of work.
48. Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because______.
