13、tion: There are three reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Passage one:Ever felt like murdering your neighbor for blasting(吹奏
14、) music too loud? Thats exactly what 78-year-old retired farmer Lambrinos Lykouresis did two years ago in Lithakia, on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Lykouresis, who claims he had complained to his neighbor for months and only wanted to listen to the evening news in peace, suddenly snapped. On May 3
15、1, 1996 he got up from his armchair, took his hunting rifle from the shelf, hobbled over to the neighboring apartment and rang the bell. When 40-year-old housewife Imberia Boziki answered the door, he fired three times at pointblank range, killing her instantly and wounding her 24-year-old son. Lyko
16、uresis now listens to the evening news in Greeces Ioannina maximum security prison. Convicted of manslaughter in 1996, he is serving to life sentences. The Lykouresis case is an extreme example of the lengths to which some people will go for a little peace and quiet. And its sad testimony(证明) to the
17、 devastating effects of one of the worlds most pervasive yet least publicized environmental problems: noise pollution, the presence of intrusive and unwanted sounds that can seriously affect physical and psychological health. A recent study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
18、Development ranked Greece as the noisiest nation in Europe. In Athens alone, 60% of the capitals 5 million residents are subjected to noise volumes above 75 decibels(dB), a level that is double the threshold(阀) at which symptoms such as aggression and hypertension can occur. “Theres no such thing as
19、 peace and quiet here anymore,” says Takis Goulielmos, a senior member of Greeces Association for the Quality of Life. “Noise pollution is becoming the countrys greatest health threat. If effective measures are not taken, Greeks will either turn mad or deaf.1. Why was Lykouresis so upset early in 19
20、96?A. He had lost his hunting gun. B. His neighbor made too much noise in the evening. C. He had quarreled with his neighbor. D. His neighbor took his TV set away from him.2. What did Lykouresis do on May 31,1996? A. He killed one woman and wounded her son. B. He killed a middle-aged couple. C. He s
21、et fire to his neighbors apartment. D. He broke into his neighbors apartment and killed the people inside.3. The writer uses Lykouresis story to illustrate that . A. there is a lot of violence in Greece B. noise pollution can cause serious consequences C. a good neighbor is better than anything else
22、 D. Greece is the noisiest nation in the world4. According to the passage, people may suffer from noise pollution at volumes as low as . A. 25dB B. 30 dB C. 35 dB D. 40 dB 5. The main idea of the passage is that . A. security is but an illusion in modern society B. noise pollution affects peoples li
23、ves much more than anything else C. many Greeks need to adapt themselves to their surroundings D. noise pollution can damage ones physical as well as mental healthPassage two:Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure Americas energy future ? Presiden
24、t Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWRs oil would help ease Californias electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted
25、in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels. The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades,
26、 lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财)in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advoca
27、tes of drilling say , damage to the environment would be insignificant . “Weve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan . Not so fast, say environmentalists . Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Res
28、ources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease Americas energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drillin
29、g could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWRs impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden States electricity output and just 3% of the nations.6. What does Presi
30、dent Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR? A. It will exhaust the nations oil reserves. B. It will help secure the future of ANWR. C. It will help reduce the nations oil imports D .It will increase Americas energy consumption 7. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _ A .bel
31、ieves that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields B .tends to exaggerate Americas reliance on foreign oil C. shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR D. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia 8. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that _ A .it can cause serious damage to the environment B .it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems C .it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region D .it will not have much commercial value 9. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fa
